They may be the most pretentious band in the history of music, and that includes people who think they are basically Jesus.

If what they say is true, they'd be playing Madison Square Garden instead of some place no one has ever heard of unless you did drugs with JORR for a few decades.

Simon Townshend
Steve Frisbie & Liam Davis
A familiar name with an original sound, Simon Townshend is straight from the lineage of one of British music’s most famous families. The son of England’s top big-band reed man and baby brother of Who legend Pete Townshend, Simon has been recording and performing since the age of nine, when he was brought in to add vocals to The Who classic Tommy.

By the way, looks like they don't play at Martyr's any more. They now do shows in Berwyn.

Has anyone ever been to a show? I would imagine the talent is there but I really don't see the need to blow the band up with the hyperbole seen in the initial post. You're not a cover band but your playing covers of a certain bands songs/album. I get what Meat is trying to say but.....come on.

Fitzgerald's is actually a great music venue. Their 4th of July American Music Festival is legendary.

Fuck FitzGerald's. There isn't enough handicapped parking in the whole town of Berwyn to accomodate all the old fucks who frequent that joint.

I saw them do Sly and the Family Stone a few years back on New Year's Eve. Everyone on stage is a professional musician and Spiegel is obviously a trained vocalist.

I think their approach is like that of a symphony. They are trying to recreate a piece of music as faithfully as possible.

I don't think there is any problem with the band. It's just that Spiegs is a pompous asswipe. But what would you expect from a part-time musician?

This board needs more Berwyn talk

I've gotten the vibe that he's, like, an insufferably pompous asswipe to about 50% of the world and totally agreeable to the other 50%.

What I read above is so full of gay.

JORR?

I think guys at the top of their industry deserve to have a certain level of arrogance. That goes for athletes, hollywood types, and media professionals. I doubt most of them would get there without self confidence (except maybe insecure A-Rod). I guess I judge these guys by how they treat the fans. If he's a jerk at remotes and stuff, then I'd accept that opinion.

So JORR only listens to music preferred by the young? Remember to file your Justin Bieber CDs between Alphabet Songs for Kids and Sesame Street's Greatest Hits.
