Posted September 6, 200618 yr ...sort of a baby CommFest, but without so much politics and more around music then a street fair... hipster vendors... ecological clothing vendors My Samoan attorney advises me to get some more beer tickets. Politics You might recall this guy from my other festival threads. He was even up at that jam fest at that Shawnee "rancheria" @ Zane Shawnee Caverns up in the Bellfontaine area this past summer. I think he has something to do with the Trolley Stop, but dont know. He certainly is connected somewhat into the local music scene to show up at the jam fest. More politics check out the funky fabrics and peace sign in the tent... ...maybe more dancehall style? This band came from Missouri to play. There was a band from Texas, too. This was a local ska band, though a few members are from Columbus the two solitudes... though we got a taste of the good old Dayton gloom this weekend the sun did come out a bit near the end of the day.... ...which brightened up the mood and brought out more people up to dance (including yr humble host!) Skyscrapers and Reggae, whats not to like ?!? Two closing shots... Now..for something completely different..... ...I'm gonna tell you a story I'm gonna tell you about my town I'm gonna tell you a big bad story, baby Aww, it's all about my town.... Yeah, down by the river Down by the banks of the river Charles Along with lovers, fuggers, and thieves Well I love that dirty water Oh, Boston, you're my home In this dirty old part of the city Where the sun refused to shine People tell me there ain't no use in tryin' (Yeah!) He's been workin' so hard (Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby (Yeah!) Every night and day (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!) 8-) LOL.....well, The Professors didn't cover the Animals or the Standells (or at least those tunes) that night, but they did cover the Dave Clark Five....but you certainly get the picture...mix a bit of Yardbirds/Animals English + US garage and protopunk and you have that fun musical stew this band serves Review from the Journal-News: Once in a while I come across a local band that romances my eardrums and temporarily cures me of my jaded view of music. This time around I have to credit The Professors for doing just that. The brand new release from The Professors is everything you would expect from this tremendously trashy retrograde rock n’ roll 5-piece. It is fun, raw, hip, and nostalgic. The 6-tracks from the new ep, entitled Get Out Of My Head, will get your hips shaking and your wheels turning with enough energy, bloody beats, and non-filtered vocal wailing for anyone who loves rock music from bands like The Sonics. Some of the most intriguing tracks on the cd are the horror blues of Hell on Wheels, and the title track, Get Out of My Head. Get Out Of My Head closes out the cd with a distorted bass walk-up, an active organ, and the scratchy voice of Richard Stockton yelling out the hook. Along with Stockton, The Professors also include Tony Moore (guitar), Nick Yates (organ), Derek Gullett (bass), and Phil Cavenous (drums). The guys got together Sunday, September 3rd at Canal Street Tavern for the official release of the cd. The band is also releasing a 7-inch split with My Latex Brain simultaneously with the ep. The band will drag their vintage guitars out on October 7th for The Dayton Music Fest. Pick up the ep at Dingleberry’s, Gem City Records, or CD Connection before you head out to see them and bring your dancing shoes.
