Sounds Like
A very song-based, tight, well-arranged, original rock 'n' roll band.
The
Rockwells are a band based in
Knoxville
,
Tennessee
that discovered that with the right mix of talent, charisma, charm,
alcohol, good influences, hard work, wit, sexual innuendo, cynical
optimism, optimistic cynicism, foul language, musical training, drive, and
humor you can make just about any group of people stand up, drink, and
perhaps shake their asses a little.Yes,
even hip people.They like to
have a good time just like everybody else.
If
you’d like to know the exact ratio of all these secret ingredients to a
successful rock show, you may contact Jonathan (rhythm
guitar), Tommy (lead guitar), Fred
(bass), or Trace (drums), any of whom will be happy
to share his thoughts on the subject ad
nauseum.
The
Rockwells have begun tracking their full-length debut, the working title
of which was, until recently, Bring
It.When it was revealed
that “bring it” is a catch phrase used by inordinately-famous
professional wrestler and sometimes-actor The Rock, the working title was
quickly changed…to The People’s
Elbow…which, as it turns out, is also one of The Rock’s catch
phrases--but a much better one.
When
they’re not touring, The Rockwells currently reside in Knoxville, where
they hope to one day renovate an old building downtown into some sort of
cross between the Batcave and the Beatles’ house in Help,
from which they could rule the world James Bond supervillain-style, though
theirs would be a benevolent rule based on art, love, and most of all,
music.
Hope you are having a fabulous Friday and have a sizzling
weekend filled with all good things. Our weather will have thunder &
lightning today, which got me thinking about energy… the incredible sexy power
of it, what we can do with it….love is one of those energies…..what are you
going to do with it this weekend? I hope you sizzle, new friends……kisses, Kelly
