modern "territory" bands - jazzboCR - 26-02-2014
In the '30's there were terrific bands that played a given part of the US and rarely strayed (Kansas City and Dallas were 2 prime areas). Well, it's pretty much the same today--great music being originated in one area and not generally shared elsewhere--you can make a pretty good living just touring the US Great Plains (Kansas, Nebraska, northern Oklahoma) and bein' "UNK." anywhere else: You knew I was leading up to something and here it is: The Tijuana Gigolos, the pride of Nebraska, killin' it.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-g_iiNoS1s and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PcheEkt-MI << NOT the song you expected from the title also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMLlpjd3SQY << a ballsy sax AND a B3 sound ?? I'm in. Finally: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG2cqK8wXbk

Them lads sure keep it rockin' to the delight of the patrons. Glad to see this Thread got a little traction. How about a hi-lifin' band from the US East Coast? Joe Barger--got a different type of voice but dig their take on a classic '40's jazz and pop tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLkH2Yhxgp0
Hey, this isn't a N. America-exclusive topic--Australia/NZ and Europe gotta have'm too. Pile on, folks.
