AC/DC Bon Scott Related items A stint fronting Sydney prog / blues band Fraternity for two albums and an ill fated English tour was last port of call prior to fielding the call to audition for AC/DC. Here you get all the tunes, and for the first time, the picture of the band on the cover art is the actual band that recorded the tunes, rather than the completely different 1970 line up! This is a 20 year commemorative album for the Aussie record label Fable released in 1984 & compiling artists that had recorded for this early Australian Independent label. www.crabsodyinblue.com /acdcbonalbums.htm

Tellefsen Hall History The national decline in college fraternity membership that had occurred during the early 1970s facilitated a deal between Tellefsen Hall and the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity: the Prospect Street House (plus $50,000) was given to the fraternity in exchange for the Lambda Chi Alpha House. In the late 1950s, Band members thought that it would be great to have a House that would serve both as living quarters and as a base from which leading Band members could discuss and influence the direction of the Band. Band officers encouraged members to live there, and it also served as a venue for social gatherings for the Band. www.tellefsenhall.org /history.html   (626 words)

Fraternity Album Discography The earliest Fraternity sides were cut in Chicago, using the band of Dan Belloc, a Chicago-born musician, also a veteran of the big band era. About the same time, Fraternity placed a song called "Walk Tall" by the duet of Patti Valentine and Linda Parrish (calling themselves "2 of Clubs") on the lower reaches of the national charts, but the song was a top-10 hit in places like Chicago. She had already had two unsuccessful singles on Fraternity, but when Tin Pan Alley tune "Ivory Tower" became available, she easily won the chart competition over the r&b-flavored version by Otis Williams (on Cincinnati-based DeLuxe Records, a division of King) and the mediocre vocal on Dot Records by TV star Gale Storm. www.bsnpubs.com /fraternity.html   (2491 words)

Fraternity Album Discography The earliest Fraternity sides were cut in Chicago, using the band of Dan Belloc, a Chicago-born musician, also a veteran of the big band era. When he started Fraternity Records in 1954 (with "silent" partner Dr. Ashton Welsh), it was to promote popular music and jazz, unlike the giant King label, which specialized in country and blues. The recording was inspired; unlike the slow tempo of Berry's version, McIntosh rolled out a snappy, danceable, and in retrospect, memorable, version of the song that Fraternity issued under the name Lonnie Mack. www.bsnpubs.com /fraternity.html   (2491 words)

Lowell George 1975 Interview Apparently, the Fraternity Of Man, besides being a very funny band, were shall we say, er, a little eccentric...weird even. Then the guy comes back the next night, and someone from the band comes back as well, and the guy says: "hey man let's go out and have a joint, what the f**k". A tireless man. I mean he would wake up and go to work, take a little time for a burnt weeny sandwich, and drink cup after cup of coffee to the detriment of his health. members.aol.com /tedalvy/lg.htm   (446 words)

chap01.txt Band officers believed that the Baton Society, which was student-run like the Band, would be of greater service to the members of the Cal Band than would a national fraternity. The University Band, as it was known before 1923, was truly an all-purpose unit, serving as the band for the University Cadets, as the band raising the California Spirit at athletic events and rallies, and as a concert band. He compared the USC Band to a vaudeville show, with balloons, confetti, pistols, and stunts which had no relation to the spirit of the football game that it was supposed to supplement; in contrast, he said the California Band was like a chorus from a grand opera for its musical excellence, drilling, and coordination. www.calband.berkeley.edu /calband/cbaa/histbook/chap01.txt   (5045 words)

openingbands.com On September 7, the Triangle Fraternity, a fraternity of engineers, architects, and scientists, located on 2nd and Daniel, held a battle of the bands event. Spitalfield took home the $500 prize for best band of the day, but more importantly, A Woman's Fund took home $1500, and some stereotypes were broken down as fans of all genres of music came together at, of all places, a fraternity house. Because the show was supporting such a cause, the men of the Triangle Fraternity decided it should be an alcohol-free event to raise awareness about how alcohol contributes to violence against women. www.openingbands.com /features?forceissue=2002-10-01   (1410 words)

The Legend of Fraternity Records :: After several more years of releasing records that went nowhere, in 1963, a local boy from Indiana, by the name of Lonnie McIntosh, had his band in the King Recording Studio, backing another artist. In "Just for the Record", there is a chapter titled, "Harry and Sid in Cincinnati." It is a colorful portrayal of my good friend, Harry Carlson, always resplendent in a striped suit, starched white shirt, tasteful tie, and of course, his cufflinks (which at times I believe he wore to bed). Later, she would record "What the World Needs Now is Love," and at this writing, that song is now being used in a national television commercial for a world-famous automobile company. www.shadoshea.com /fraternity   (1410 words)

The Famous Maroon Band The band had a fraternity-like atmosphere, due in large part to the fact that one section of Old Main was set aside as the band quarters and all bandsmen lived there. Little is known of the early history of the first bands at A and M except that 1902 is the official date that the first band was established by the board of trustees. The members of the A and M band were numbered 40 at this time and thus became known as "The Famous Forty" of Mississippi A and M. The trophy which they won is still proudly displayed in the band hall at the present time. www.msstate.edu /org/band/history.html   (2449 words)

Band together: Budding musical play celebrity roles by entertaining Syracuse campus - Pulp Although college bands have been seen at local bars, house parties and fraternity basements, it seems valid to question whether they have built reputable names among students or if they have become just another distraction in the background. With a large and diverse student population, as well as a campus situated within a city, local bands seem to have no problem establishing a fanbase for their particular genre of music. The bands run through set after set, finally ending the night with a hearty thanks and a drunken cheer. www.dailyorange.com /news/2006/03/02/Pulp/Band-Together.Budding.Musical.Play.Celebrity.Roles.By.Entertaining.Syracuse.Camp-1650007.shtml   (392 words)

Caribbean CHOICE - Your Gateway to the Caribbean! They would casually dismiss him saying "he from the country." Fueled by this utter disrespect and not total1y immersed into the steelband fraternity, Thomas was then compelled to document the steelband movement through the eyes of this 'country' band. It has been reported that the steel band emerged as a result of the various accidents that occurred in certain Tamboo Bamboo bands in Port of Spain, when different bamboo joints were shattered while being played and had to be substituted by steel drums and other pieces of metal. Thomas' band Merrystars Metronomes, participated in the very first panorama competition in 1963 and greeted the Tenth District Naval Steelband of the United States that same year. www.caribbeanchoice.com /carnivalmag/article9.asp   (392 words)

DM: Charlie Mars Band returns to Ole Miss as a success Mars, who is originally from Mississippi, said he began as a high school original band member and slowly moved into the spotlight as a solo acoustical guitar player when he played clubs around the Southern Methodist University (SMU) area in Dallas with Jack Ingram, a Texas singer/songwriter who was a fraternity brother of Mars'. Mars said that while there are no current plans for a CD release in the near future, the band will continue to promote Broken Arrow and book shows in neighboring southern states. Eventually, Mars said he began to see the need to produce a CD to "keep his songs alive" and added bassist Andy Sample and drummer Andrew Hammer to form the Charlie Mars Band. www.olemiss.edu /news/dm/archives/96/9609/960913/960913EN1band.html   (947 words)

Interview with Gomez Apparently the band are mullet aficionados, already au fait with the brilliant www.mulletsgalore.com and this year's essential tome The Mullet: Hairstyle of the Gods. Ah, yes, the perils of the elongated "jam." Gomez's inclination to extend proceedings in the live arena has created an interesting paradox: This young, melodic, accessible, British pop group has attracted the attention of America's Jam-rock fraternity. If second album Liquid Skin is, by the band's own admission, "a bit of a dense cake," its complexity rarely sounds forced. www.inkblotmagazine.com /Interviews/int_Gomez.htm   (857 words)

Immersed in the music Band camp, which began Sunday and ends with a mini-concert for parents tonight, is the beginning of a four-month season that bonds the fraternity into family, and teaches so much more than music and dance.

Amazon.co.uk: Crackle - The Best of Bauhaus: Music Bauhaus' arrival in 1979 hailed the beginning of experimental goth rock, even though their music was never really intended for the shoegazing fraternity which was to follow. The tracklisting draws from Bauhaus' entire career-from the definingfirst single, "Bela Lugosi's Dead", all the way through "She's In Parties" and the title track of the band's final album, BURNING FROM THE INSIDE. Bauhaus breezed onto the music scene in 1979 and were instantly derided as being passe and harking back to earlier David Bowie material. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B000007SP0   (1033 words)
