AC/DC 1 Man Band

There’s been a severe deficit in geeky rock and roll news lately. This is evident by the music page of Digg featuring accordions, Kanye West, and such.  To make sure no one thinks I’m neglecting my Rock and Roll Geek blogging responsibilities, I’ve got some random rock and roll silliness to share.

Behold, the 1 man AC/DC cover band.

Chris McKay and the Critical Darlings @ the Atlantis Music Conference

Chris McKay and the Critical Darlings is a very vintage powerpop rock quartet from Athens that absolutely blew me away. They were by far the best band at Vinyl on Friday night and got the best audience reaction, too.  It’s hard to put everything into a 30 minute set with a STRICT timetable, but they did it. Where all of the other too-cool-to-care hipsters were just contrived or had no stage presence, these guys had a presence, with just enough spectacle. Here’s a video to give you a taste, though it doesn’t begin to do them justice.
