Don’t tell me it’s another new month already? Yep, the calendar says it’s September 1st and it’s time for another Battle of the Bands. Last time, I featured a Blondie classic. Stephen is really going to hate me for this, but I’m going that route again. Actually, I’ll be pitting two new rivals neither of which will be Blondie for the heavyweight title in the sing-off cover song Call Me! (This is for entertainment only and is not included in the battle, so please do not vote for Blondie.)
Allow me to introduce to you two new-to-me artists going head-to-head in today’s showdown.
First up, is an American rock band from Portland Oregon. Gosh, I’d love to see the pacific northwest! Focus Cathy, focus! Anywho, this group came together in 1994 and released their first major record cut in ’97 with Capital Records. I bring to you Courtney Taylor-Taylor and his merry band members: Peter Holmstrom, Zia McCabe , and Brent DeBoer who are… The Dandy Warhols!
Next is a British singer/songwriter who started her career also in 1994 with four brothers forming a different band who released five albums with this female lead vocalist. The band split in 2003 giving her the opportunity to spread her wings cranking out two solo albums. Give a listen to Skye!
Do you know which band you like the best? Are you going with The Dandy Warhols or Skye?
Voting is open to everyone visiting my site. There is no wrong vote, except if you don’t vote. You can start by telling me in comments which artist you like best and why (optional). Then, I’d like you to do me a favor in telling your friends to come by to get in on the action. The more the merrier!
I highly recommend you swing over to listen (and vote on) more epic battles underway on these amazing blogs!
