Holy Rollers "Eleventy" & "What You Said" 9:30 Club 3-3-90

One of the most underrated bands in the DC-Dischord family tree. They used to trade off opening spots with Shudder To Think on occasion, and on this particular night they were headlining. Although this video may not get alot of hits, this was heady stuff back in the heyday. You can't argue with 3-part harmonies and power chords on a bass. More to come.

I used to see them practice at their house all the time. They had a python.

Thanks for posting - one of the best bands from this era. I saw 'em in London at the Islington Powerhaus (as was) on 13th October 1991 and they rocked. The support band were better though - UK post core gods Crane.
