Up-and-coming alternative rock n' roll band, , rocked the Newport Music Hall in only their sixth live performance. With over 100 tickets and 50 t-shirts sold, it was the most successful show in their young musical careers. Here is what people are saying about the show....

“These guys are like the Raconteurs of Columbus.”
-J Fina, Chelsea Automatic

“An unapologetic throwback to the 70's rock we call classics. They're cover of "These Boots Are Made For Walking" made me ashamed to be at the show not wearing boots. Pure and simple, a kick ass rock show.”
-Nate Ellis, CD101

“I can’t believe that I paid $10 for this show… I would have paid $25 at least.”
-Sean Hart, MEISA

“All of the guys looked like they were having the best time of their lives up there. They truly made me believe that they deserved to be playing at a venue with as much history and notoriety as the Newport.”
-Jim Dawson, Singing Dog Records

“What a truly incredible show last night. Walking into the venue, I was assaulted by the sound of “Mississippi Adultery” pounding harder, louder, and larger than life itself. The thumping drive behind “January One” and brilliant execution of “Welcome to Battlethorne Castle” freed my soul and completely took me away from the obligations and frustrations that can sometimes consume our daily lives. I left the show in-awe of having just witnessed an amazing display of the hard work and dedicated showmanship that these five gifted performers have created and expound upon. The sheer force and raw power of last night's performance perfectly illustrates the reason I've chosen to dedicate my life to the amazing power of music. Long live pure and powerful music, and long live The George Elliot Underground.”
-David Wesley, Analog Sound Studio

Where are the George Elliot Underground Girls??

HOW DID I MISS THIS THREAD

if i had administrative powers i would totally move this to the columbus music forum

that is to say if i make it to weakened wrap-up #5-stayin alive

i'm not one to knock any band for trying to promote themselves.

that said, it may have been the best cover of "these boots are made for walkin'" ever, but the horrid quality of the included video did not help to convey that.

There should be a DW post Hall of Fame.

Beppers McBeppington

why oh why did this thread stall?, there is so much potential waiting to be realized
