Ron is right about the Sgt. Major lineup (save for the fact that the
singers' name is Carmella), though I guess it may be a little up in
the air since rumor has most recent drummer Rusty Willoughby
relocating to Arizona. But it was easy to get some Ramberg confusion
in there since Sgt. Major does cover a Model Rockets song (Cheaters,
from Pilot County Suite), and since John has been known to get up on
stage with them to do a cool cover of Bill Fay's Methane River.
Ramberg himself has been working on a solo project, playing around
town some, doing the occasionaly Minus 5 show, and maybe beginning to
put a band together. When his solo record comes out, everyone will
need to buy it immediately. The songs are (as usual for John) amazing.
And in response to the original post in this thread, it sounds as if
Jason might not have the first Model Rockts record -- Hi Lux. If not,
seek it out; it's great. I see one on GEMM right now for less than
ten bucks.
