How Many Licks Does It Take To Get To The Center Of The Philly Rock Scene?
Only Shai Halperin‘s dentist knows for sure. Yesterday, the lead singer of The Capitol Years sat down to see how many Philly band names he could jam into one tune. It went well. He penned the tune, recorded it and mixed it. His grand tally? 35 band names! Not bad. And come to think of it, the tune isn’t that bad, either.
