Band of the Month – January 2006

Well, we’re off to a smashing start, no? Yeah, I’ve been trying to get the BotM done all month, but when the internet died, progress was impeded, and then the Unix computers wouldn’t let me save images, and everything was going all wrong. But here we are and here it is.

Who the hell is Trooper? You say. And why the hell are they band of the Month? That you also say. Come closer. Closer. I’ll tell you the story.

See, the thing is, it’s so late in the month that I’m pretty much doing a Band of the Week thing here, and I couldn’t let a band I listen to a lot get the shame of only seeing a week of fame when it should have had a month. So I picked a band I don’t listen to a whole lot. To be completely honest, I almost never listen to Trooper. Sure, “The Boys in the Bright White Sports Car”, “Two for the Show” and “Raise a Little Hell” have spots in my playlist, but then again, what classic rock fan doesn’t have those songs in his playlist? Exactly. I honestly know very little about Trooper or their music, so there’s no much I can say. I know my parents went to a Trooper concert when they were teens, but that’s about it. Oh, and they’re Canadian so yay.

If you want to know anything else, you’re gonna have to figure it out on your own. I’m not doing any research for you this month. All I can really say is to listen to any of the songs I mentioned in the last paragraph, or listen to your local classic rock station. They’ll come up eventually. What a sham this is. Oh well. Article Thursday, and if you hadn’t noticed yet, I’ve got a new bit on Comedy Napalm.
