music for the people
Who we are
We're a community-based music group dedicated to bringing music (or something like it) to the community. We welcome members of all levels of expertise, and would love to see you at one of our upcoming shows.
You can visit us at our MySpace page to learn more about us and see where the Rovers will be performing next: The Scene of the Crime Rovers
Or you can read and watch us courtesy of the News and Observer. Evidently we're one of the eight must see acts for 2008!
We practice at The Scrap Exchange (when it's cold) or the Durham Farmers Market (when it's warm) every Sunday night at 7:00PM

SOC Rovers Slide was arranged thusly:
Start w/ drums, horns counted into "A" riff (more or less as written in condensed form on the wiki) which is played 4 times. Then the "new "B" riff--which we need to write out--but it's basically a call and response between the high voices and the low. This is played 4 times. Then 3 beats of silence precede "SOC Rovers Slide" sung on beat 4, the low riff resumes with chanting and dancing (4x), then we return to the "A" part and jam our asses off on it.
Really, it's not as complicated as that probably sounds...but I wanted to get it down while it's still fresh on my mind.
Am I write that the new B riff low voice response is played only 3 times, i.e. the 4th low response is replaced by the 3 beats of silence you mention.
Hey Brian, maybe you can post this on the front page?
I'm not sure if the RSS feed will notify people when there's a new comment, but I know it will if there's a new post.
You have posting privileges, right?
Yeah...I've edited it on the wiki as well.
