THIS is American music
The Drams @SxSW 2006
Centro-matic @ SxSW 2006
Now here's a good idea...take a bunch of hard-working, talented "rootsy" kinda bands who are pals with each other, package 'em together like an old Dick Clark tour, and then unleash them on audiences across the country thirsting for some "real" music, not the flavor of the day flotsam that passes for cutting edge these days.
Well, after months of back channel rumors, that's exactly what's being planned by the likes of Grand Champeen, Glossary, Two Cow Garage and The Drams. Other fellow travellers (Centro-matic?) may join in on the festivities. Details are still sketchy, but citizens of Mpls/St. Paul, Chicago, STL, Nashville and Texas should be on the lookout for further announcements.
This could be good. Very good.
