Live music, sadly, never rocked me. I prefer virtual. But, some people do make the joyful noise for other people. Hats off.
During a somber Xmastime, “Interplanetary Salvation Army Band” plays to the stars. Ollabelle’s dirge-y indie begrudges the season.
Phil Keaggy’s gift from the “Salvation Army Band” seems to be eternal life. Hope you kept the receipt. Blues rock that takes over the joint.
Not all these pin down the Christmas fund drive, but Bobby Bare’s “New York City Snow” misplace a Boise boy into the winter of the East coast. He’s down and out, but it’s that time of the year. And the band played on…. (Later he, with Billy Joe Shaver, hopes that “Jesus is the Only One That Loves Us” in a city of sin, to the same musical backdrop.) All classic country.
The Mountain Parade gets into the spirit with “Salvation Army Band,” a brass-heavy sermon on hope. Spirited indie.
Wait, you only recall the bellringers? Then lean in to Paco Moreno’s “Salvation Army.” That’s all there is.
MercyMe starts singing To the rhythm of the Salvation Army bell ringing. But they rock out pretty hard when begging “Hold On Christmas.” Pogo.
Over the Rhine can tell when “Darlin’ (Christmas is Coming)” when Salvation Army bells are ringing. New Age indie fun.
Turning the other cheekiness, Hot Buttered Elves stage a riot with “Salvation Ringing” behind. Metal like. Hard to look away.
Helen Love & Ricardo Autobahn retro the indie (?) for “And The Salvation Army Band Plays.” It’s wistful, if not downright down in the mouth. But that’s an insistent beat. Yeah.
