Lead MR John Ramberg has also
been busy backin' up the divine Neko Case (who's playing the Tractor
Tavern on March 11).--don
Is he the brown-haired fella or the blonde one (who I always thought
looked
like a young John Lennon)?

Model Rockets are back up and running with Scott (blonde guy) back in the
fold. They played a great set at the croc on feb 5 opening for Young Fresh
Fellows and there's more to come. John also did a really fun solo set the
next night on bill with some other folks (including yours truly and
Christy from the Picketts). The guy is a great songwriter and way way
underappreciated.
Message to people out there. If you like power pop in the Cheap Trick
vein, you should buy this band's albums "Hi-Lux" (Lucky) and "Snatch it
Back and Hold it" (C/Z). I won't lie to you. John is a friend of mine and
I've also done legal work for the Model Rockets. But I think other more
unbiased Seattlites will concur with me here. This is a great great band.
They also do a great cover of "Sir Duke" by Stevie Wonder and they've also
done "Jet" on occassion.
