Beachland Ballroom -- Live Music in Cleveland

Beachland Ballroom -- Live Music in Cleveland: "Dave Swanson (ex-GBV, New Salem Witch Hunters, and much much more) and his pals (all of whom have probably been in a band with you) heat up power pop til it almost explodes with sonic flavor!"

Dave is my cousin, and a way cool dude. Ask me about the time I drove him to an Elton John concert at the Richfield Coliseum (he was about 13) in his dad's Lincoln Battlestar. Great show, except for the part where I tripped on my platform shoes and slid down the Coliseum's steep concrete steps on my shins, ruining a perfectly good pair of doubleknit bellbottoms.

The Elderly Brothers spent a great August weekend in Jefferson, Ohio, jamming with long-time buddy Ed Obbish and his almost-a college-grad son, Eddie. Big fun! Sorry, can't identify the maraca player.
