Have you ever heard of "Bagrock" - No? Well you gotta check these guys out - The Red Hot Chili Pipers - and yes, you read that correctly.
A few days ago my wife, who works coordinating fund raising efforts for the local public television station, came home and told me about an act that had recently come to her attention. What she does is try to dovetail some fund raising in with various acts that pass through town. Anyway, this group was called The Red Hot Chili Pipers, and of course, the first thing I said was "what?"
Yep, The Red Hot Chili Pipers - a rock band that features rock bagpipes. Don't believe me? Check out their website here, or go to Youtube and watch a few videos. I recommend the song "Thunderstruck." Yea, Bagpipes With an Attitude.
Unfortunately, they are not coming through our town in the near future - so no backstage passes for me - pity.
