Last night I had the extreme good fortune to see a great Vermont band with a very cool history.
Rough Francis is three brothers from Burlington who got together initially to cover
Bad Brains. Somewhere along the way, they discovered their father's band, formed in Detroit in the 70s with
his two brothers, called
Death. Rough Frances started covering them, and then writing and recording original music, with their first album coming out a year ago (which you could maybe get from
Riot House if not your local record store).
All this I learned from my current mystery bandmate earlier this week (more "
mystery band" here). I am now even more excited to watch
A Band Called Death, which has been collecting dust in my Netflix queue.
