A Florida band is back in Topeka this weekend to protest Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church.

Biteboy performed last night at Lessman's Farm.

It was a free concert for anyone to attend.

The band encouraged people to bring signs to the concert to protest the Phelps.

Biteboy says the point of their free shows is to also honor the soldiers who've died while serving our country in the middle east.

Thank You, for doing something that should have been done a long time ago. It seems everyone is afraid of the Phelps group. If we all would take a stand against them and let them know how we feel, maybe they would move on to some other place and then we would be rid of their pickiting. As far as I am concerned making children carry those dirty signs, is child abuse! We all must stand together and profess our feelings. Give um hell, guys!!!!

it is a sad situation where a small band of very sick people can epress their so called religion that causes so much grief to so many others. God bless our military and all their families, God bless America.
