“Hi, I’m Stewart Copeland, and I still have more hair than Sting!”
Please check out my updates with drummers Spencer Seim of the Nintendo game theme song cover band, The Advantage and uber-hottie Brian Viglione of The Dresden Dolls, both in the August 2006 issue of Modern Drummer magazine with Stewart Copeland (from The Police, for those of you who have been living under a rock) on the cover!
For the past few weeks I have been telling everyone I know about my new favorite band, The Advantage, a rock quartet from Sacramento that plays only covers of Nintendo Game Theme Songs. Oh my god, they are so way beyond genius. I’ve never played video games in my life, but these songs’ bizarre sonic amalgam of Yes, Frank Zappa and Oingo Boingo thrill me completely. I just can’t stop playing their new CD, Elf Titled, which comes out on January 24, 2006. The Advantage fucking rule, and you need to get your geek on and check them out.
