Excellent writing about a couple of real people with genuine talent. Wish them well as they travel around playing their music together. The Allman Brothers started touring in an old Winnebago too and things worked out pretty well musical career wise for them. Shovels and Rope is further proof that great songs come from those who live them.
Saw them last night. I thought they were great. Not metal at all though.
Well, this was a great article and I throughly enjoyed all three video's by Shovels and Rope. I would like to see this duo in person. Will watch the board at The Pour House to see if they are coming back anytime soon!
The Headline says it all, "Bully Pulpit is not a heavy metal band" and yet they are chosen as the Best Metal Band in Charleston. Then the article puts the blame on Charleston Music Fans for voting... in reality it's the City Paper staff to blame because they didn't do their homework. If they had taken the time to listen to the nominees I doubt anyone would let them be in this category after hearing this band versus the other groups. Are you guys trying to exemplify the diversity of our city, or just throw some shit together to get the ads? Either do this right or don't do it at all! It not only trivializes our local scene, but makes CP seem like an over the hill mom trying to remain 'hip'.
I lived in N. Chuck and Hilton Head and used to go see these guys. Well, I moved to Tn. and our yearly "Blue Plum Festival" hosted Sol Driven Train and they did a set. Their music is always uplifting,and enjoyable! I love the onstage antics w/ the drums!! Keep the E. Tn. area on your list of "places to play" please! Excellent Band and cool bunch of guys! Later
Congrats to all the winners! Old You didn't win this year, but we will be rocking out tonight at the Pourhouse for the CPMA After-party!
Whitt for mayor.
Wadata! Definitely the funkiest peeps in town!
Congratulations to Crowfield, a well deserved win.
Bully Pulpit is as metal as Buckcherry and heavy as an Ethiopian's paunchy belly. Of all the choices?! I would have categorized them in rock and or punk. This is not grai.
Yay for the 33's!!!!! They are hard working musicians and deserve this win!!! <3
genres are dead. it's all pop music.
bully pulpit is a punk band....
Congrats Joel. Your Mom keeps me posted out here in AZ and if you ever need a place to crash.
I agree, The Freeloaders are a GREAT band. Have seen them many times in Pawleys Island. Loved the article about Elise and her students. She is such a talent! Would really like to know more about the rest of the band- Wallace Mullinax, who is probably one of the best guitar players I have ever seen( and I'm pretty old so have seen a lot of good ones) and Oliver Goldstein, who is such a good bass player! Can you give us more info on these two talented musicians? Thanks!
Amazing story!
Congratulations guys, looking forward to seeing you at Skinfull this weekend.
Congrats to Sol Driven Train, a well deserved accolade for a wonderful group of musicians!

"And then there's the tap dancer. That's not something you see every day." Have you guys not seen the V-Tones?
