They call themselves Biteboy and they drove all the way from Florida with a message for Fred Phelps and his church.

American soldiers who listen to the band from across the seas on the Internet asked them to protest the Phelp’s group.

Members of the Patriot Guard Riders rode through the streets, while supporters gathered in the lawn of a neighbor's home listening to Biteboy's music outside the Phelp's house, but the party was cut short. Police pulled the plug on the concert because of the noise and not everyone was sad to see them go. Members of the Westboro Baptist church stood in a driveway protectively watching their property.

More than a hundred protesters and Biteboy band members regrouped at the Seabrook Bar and Grill holding signs with messages of love and hate. Protesters of all ages waved and cheered when drivers honked on 21st street while Biteboy played to fans.
