This weekend rock band Biteboy will return to Topeka to take on Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church, and to support U.S. troops stationed overseas.

The whole thing started with a song.

It's called Don't Drag Me Down and the message is simple: High morale means everything to soldiers stationed overseas.

"Low morale gets people killed. That's what the song is about. And that's why we came to sing at the Phelps,'" said Biteboy Manager Rick Namey in a phone interview on Tuesday.

49 News first brought you the story last year, when Biteboy staged a show in the Phelps' neighborhood.

Namey says the original idea to sing in protest of the Phelps' came from the soldiers themselves, soldiers who posted messages on the band's Myspace page, asking Biteboy to stand up to Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church.

"Low morale gets people killed and if you're going to lower the troops' morale you have to be willing to take responsibility for it," Namey said.

This year Biteboy will be back with a bigger crowd and a bigger venue in rural Topeka.

They've even extended an invitation to Fred Phelps and his clan to attend the show.

"If they'd like to they can even come on right before us and even introduce the band... I honestly don't think they'll come because they won't find a friendly audience, but you know, they go a lot of places where they're not welcomed," Namey said.

And the band is hoping for a big turn out to their rock tribute to the troops.

"Of course we're going to play don't drag me down, the song that started all this, that really blew up with the soldiers," Namey said.
