Okay, my head is spinning. Everything seems backwards here. Usually you buy the tickets, then you see the show. But Sunchunck, those crazy kids, are mixing it up a little next time out. On July 2, the Port rockers will be playing a short set just outside the ticket entrance at LeLacheur Park, home to the Lowell Spinners, whipping up the crowd before the game starts. Then, during the seventh-inning stretch, the boys will be bringing out the big gun, playing their powerhouse cover of "God Bless America," on the right side of the 5,000-seat stadium. It's all part of the minor league Sox affiliate's Americana Celebration. And they've got something to celebrate besides the country's birthday: They're sitting on top of their division, with a 45-30 record, a 9.5-game lead over Oneonta and an 11-game lead over the Vermont Lake Monsters, who they'll likely demolish when Sunchunck's in town. The hometown rockers, by the way, are no strangers to playing at sports events. They played "God Bless America"during the Pats/Dolphins game at Gillette Stadium on Veterans Day last year — in front of 60,000-plus fans, after the National Anthem, accompanied by an Air Force flyover. Yikes! For more information, check out the Spinners or Sunchunck webs.
