Steel and the Smiths...

Post by Jon Hyde »

My band, 1 Uppers, plays a country cover of the the Smiths classic "How soon is now?" complete with fuzzed out steel solo. We used the song to make our first ever video:

Matt! Nice catch! I daresay most are missing that detail. We thought it'd be cool to pay tribute to that.

Roger - it is: David Russell vocal/acoustic, Caben Buswell Bass, John Hendow baritone (doubleneck), Kris Geren Telecaster and Eric Eagle drums.

Dave - I would've but I think 15 miles on a bike with a D10 and a twin in tow would be more biking than I'm ready to tackle!
