Last night I went to see Joe Mannix play at the Living Room (NYC). The act after him was a band called Rawles Balls. The leader walked onstage with a setlist about 250 songs long, and they proceeded to play "Back in the New York Groove," followed by cover song after cover song done up in knowingly inept fashion -- the guy couldn't play the guitar at all, sang out of tune, and in fact didn't know all the words to the songs. I had to see who would put together such an absurd gag, and I looked the guy up on the internet. It turned out he was the drummer of a band called Scout, which up until it's recent demise was supposedly one of the coolest things around. (They evidently appeared in an episode of the Sopranos because Michael Imperioli, a big fan, had them written in.) Anyone have anything to say about this group? _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?
