Scuba

Everyone keeps stopping the DomeSite staff on the street asking "When is DomeSite going to namecheck Scuba?" The DomeSite listens to street people because the DomeSite comes from the streets. What can you say about this band that hasn't already been said about the John Tyler administration? These cats are from Boston, or anyway live in Boston now, or anyway in Massachusetts, or anyway in that general part of the country. I think. On their website, they claim to regularly play in towns called Allston and Somerville, but those places sound made up (what guys, no shows in Metropolis or Bedford Falls this month?). They have played in New York City and the DomeSite covered their shows back when the DomeSite was a legal pad and a photocopier. They can really rock out, but they can also bring the room down and settle into an acoustic ballad that will set your tear ducts on "dry".

Vicious rumors around the campfire say that scuba divers who surface too quickly get the bends, and the band has taken that medical mumbo jumbo to heart and made it their promotional strategy - stay below the surface and no one gets sick (except from the drink). DomeSite exposure will likely make them household names and we'll see how the boys handle it. You can check out their myspace page for live dates and buy their tunes on iTunes.

The video is for a song called "Gary Power's Spy Plane" and it's about competitive quilting in the 1950s. It's taken from PBS documentary footage of an actual Scuba show. That's how these cats actually roll - and dress (word to Brigham Young).
