CONGRATULATIONS!



Congratulations to former Guided By Voices frontman, Robert "Bob" Pollard, for getting his picture on the cover of this week's "Dayton City Paper" with ANDREW AND THE PRETTY PUNCHERS.
.
Bob and his new band, Boston Spaceships, can be seen in the lower middle photo, while a slightly larger photo of ANDREW AND THE PRETTY PUNCHERS is in the upper echelon- i mean, upper left (click on photo for larger image).

It's been a long time comin' Bob . . . you deserve it, big guy!

Two excerpts from the article:

"Amongst the Dayton Music Fest rookies this year are Andrew and the Pretty Punchers, Toads And Mice, and Astro Fang. Over the previous 12 months, these three bands have stood at the vanguard of a resurgence within the Dayton independent music scene."

"ANDREW AND THE PRETTY PUNCHERS: Within the last year, A&TPP have emerged as one of Dayton's most promising bands. With Andy Smith's fiery vocal delivery and the band driving home his infectious hooks, this is a must-see band at this year's festival."
