The rumor mill spins
A certain member of the local media (Dayton City Paper) called local music blogs “swanky” in a recent review of the noise-rock band Romance of Young Tigers.
It was also written that these “swanky” blogs overlook bands like Romance of Young Tigers and quote “swoon” over other Dayton bands.
Swanky? Maybe, but in a polyester suit, gold teeth, and leopard print sorta way.
However, I have written about Romance for over two years including a piece reviewing their performance at the Dayton Music Fest in 2006.
You can call me swanky, just don’t call me late for dinner.
Anderl’s taking a break:
I ran into Joe Anderl celebrating Record Store Day at Gem City Records. He told me that he was going to be taking time off from shows after June.
I pleaded for the Dayton singer/songwriter to change his mind, but he explained that he wanted to finish recording songs he wrote prior to his 2007 cd entitled I Love Joe Anderl.
Good luck with the record Joe, and I watched the movie Once upon your recommendation and I loved it.
Wild and Free change name:
Wild and Free is now to be known as the Judy Blooms.
I love the new name of this talented Dayton indie-rock band.
I am sure the real Judy Blume, teen writer and author of Superfudge and Frecklejuice, is smiling somewhere.
As for the band, they are currently in New York with scheduled shows this week in the Big Apple.
