[I don't intend this to be an exclusively-E6 blog (Optical Atlas does a great job at that), there's just been a lot of activity lately from the associated bands. There's other stuff coming soon as always for the non-E6 crowd.]

Team Clermont held their 9th annual Blue Ribbon Ball with Elf Power as the “prom band.” After a set of original tunes and a break for some DJ action, they dug into a bunch of great covers (and a couple of terrible ones) along the lines of what you might have heard at a late-80′s/early 90′s prom. If your prom had been really hip.

I can’t leave you without placing the blame for “The Greatest American Hero” on the shoulders of Jeff Griggs (Murder Beach/The Masters Of The Hemisphere).
