Here's a great example of what a rock band is. I was a big fan of The Books, it was an original style and finally a good local band. This is a full song, not sure of the title, but it's pretty good. Excuse the shaking and odd angle, that place was packed and it doesn't help having to hold a heavy cam with one hand over the head of some girl. I didn't know the song so the timing of the shot of the microphone and zooming in and out didn't work out as well as expected. I'm not a fan of the hardcore/screamo/emo/punk shit that has plagued the local scene. Eventually The Books went under various changes in musicians and a name change.

After dropping the drummer, picking up a new drummer and a girl singer, they formally changed their name to "Vince Dynamic". Soon thereafter the chick was out of the band. So currently you can catch the original singer/guitarist, keyboardist, and that new drummer onstage here in Bay City. Find them on Myspace, Purevolume, or vincedynamic.com, you won't be disapointed.
