The Clark Family Experience - Meanwhile Back At The Ranch

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 15:19:00 +0000

Before they were The Clark Brothers, the three brothers were part of The Clark Family Experience with their three other brothers. They even scored a top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot Country charts back in 2001 with this song, Meanwhile Back At The Ranch. Unfortunately, the band ended up filing for bankruptcy a year after the release of their first album, and subsequently stopped touring and recording until Ashley, Austin, and Adam won the first Next Great American Idol competition. Looks like things always do happen for a reason. Enjoy!

The Clark Brothers' Final Performance on The Next Great American Band

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 18:01:00 +0000

The Clark Brothers are a fantastic band. For their final performance before the final results, they performed one of their original songs called You Are Still The Same. It was a great performance. Fantastic job guys!

Sixwire's Final Performance on the Next Great American Band

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 17:56:00 +0000

I really liked Sixwire, but i have to agree with America, The Clark Brothers were just too good. Sixwire did a kickass job though on the Rolling Stones' The Last Time for their final song. Great job guys!

Denver and the band performed Vehicle by The Ides of March as their swan song on the final episode of the Next Great American Band. They came in third place in the competition, which is much higher than I ever believed they'd finish. Good job guys!

The Clark Brothers Win The Next Great American Band

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 03:56:00 +0000

I haven't been able to find the videos online yet of all the performances from the finale, but it was a good show. Sixwire came in second. Light of Doom, Northmont (Band that didn't make it to the final 12), Goo Goo Dolls, Sheila E. and Denver and the Mile High Orchestra performed on the show. I hope to have all the videos up tomorrow.

Congrats to the Clark boys! You deserved it more than anyone...

The Clark Brothers Perform Eric Clapton and Lonestar Songs on Episode 9 of the Next Great American Band

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 03:02:00 +0000

While I really like Sixwire, I have to agree with Johnny on this one. These guys deserve to win this more than any other band. They really are fantastic. They sang Eric Clapton's Change The World and Lonestar's Amazed, and they did their original song, This Little Light of Mine/Faith, Faith, Faith. Enjoy and good luck in the finale guys!

Sixwire Perform Steely Dan and England Dan & John Ford Coley Songs on Episode 9 of the Next Great American Band

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 02:48:00 +0000

I really like Sixwire because I'm a huge country music fan. I thought they did a great job on all three songs tonight. They mixed it up well with a relaxing song (Steely Dan's Reeling in the Years), a love song (England Dan & John Ford Coley's I'd Really Love To See You Tonight) and an upbeat song (Good to Be Back - an original of theirs). Great job guys!

Denver and the Mile High Orchestra Perform Songs By Earth, Wind & Fire and Ide's of March on Episode 9 of the Next Great American Band

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 02:32:00 +0000

Denver and the Mile High guys are through to the finale next week. I really am amazed they've made it this far, but they are talented, and it takes all types of music to make the world go around. I don't think they're going to win next week, but I've been wrong before. We shall see. Here they are performing Earth, Wind & Fire's September, Ide's of March's Vehicle and their original called The Way You Move Me. Enjoy!

The Kids Have Left the Building - Light of Doom Eliminated

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 02:28:00 +0000

Well, Light of Doom have finally been eliminated. I think their quirky version of Queen's We Will Rock You really did them in. I wish them well. Maybe all or some of them will make it. Only time will tell...

Erik From Light Of Doom Sings Iron Maiden's The Trooper With Another Kid Band - Axxys

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 15:29:00 +0000

I have to be honest, I didn't realize there were other kiddie heavy metal bands out there, but apparently, there are. This band is called Axxys and Erik from Light of Doom is helping the lead singer sing Iron Maiden's The Trooper during this concert. The troubling part about this video is this footage is shot from their concert at Hollywood's Whiskey a Go-Go. I didn't realize an underage kids band could play in a bar, but then again, I've never seen a kid band play live before. Oh well, for you Light of Doom fans, here you go. Enjoy!

Carrie Underwood's So Small Featuring the Clark Brothers

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 18:56:00 +0000

I just found this online. I was looking for an acoustic version of Carrie Underwood's #1 single, So Small for another blog of mine, Today's Best Country Music Videos. When I started watching the video, I noticed some familiar faces in the background. It's none other than the Clark Brothers providing the music for Carrie. It's a great version of the song. Great job guys! You're keeping very good company. Enjoy!

The Clark Brothers Perform Queen's These Are The Days Of Our Lives on Episode 8 of the Next Great American Band

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 15:36:00 +0000

I love the Clark Brothers. I'm torn between them and Sixwire when it comes to picking the winner. I thought they did a great job on both songs as did Sheila E. and Johnny. Dicko didn't like the lyrics to their original song, Homestead, but thought they performed it well. What'd you think?

P.S. Love the additional band members... Now, you're a real band.

Light of Doom Perform Queen's We Will Rock You on Episode 8 of the Next Great American Band

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 15:30:00 +0000

As you'll see from the judges comments below, Light of Doom sucked this week. That's the only way I can describe their performance. I think they have a bright future, but they're Queen routine looked like their mom helped put it together. It was really corny, and their original song was pretty lame.

The judges opinions:

Johnny stepped out of the box and bashed them this week. He was right to do so though. The music industry is very tough, and they needed a little reality check last night.
Sheila E. - Similar to John, she thought their performance was sub-par.
Dicko - Same for Dicko - he didn't like this performance at all

What'd you think?

Sixwire Perform Queen's Fat Bottomed Girls on Episode 8 on the Next Great American Band

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 15:07:00 +0000

Sixwire nailed it this week. Their version of Queen's Fat-Bottomed Girls was excellent, and their original song, Go On should already be on the Billboard Hot Country charts if you ask me. It's an excellent song and the judges loved it.

The judges opinions:

Johnny - Said their original was as good as anything on the radio today.
Sheila E. - Said, "You guys have to win because I want that song!" referring to their original
Dicko - Loved their Queen song saying they were a bit boring when they first arrived on the show, but they must have been putting something in their corn flakes, because they're awesome now.

What'd you think?

Denver and the Mile High Orchestra Perform Queen's Sleeping on the Sidewalk on Episode 8 of the Next Great American Band

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 14:55:00 +0000

As we near the finish line, Denver and the Mile High Orchestra are still going strong. If I had to pick, I'd have to pick them to be eliminated next week. They did a pretty good job on Queen's Sleeping on the Sidewalk and their original song Big White House.

The judges opinions:

Johnny - Liked it and didn't offer much criticism (It seems that ever since Sheila E. pressured him into giving Light of Doom the thumbs up on the first episode, Johnny's been hesitant to offer any type of harsh criticism)
Sheila E. - Liked the performance, but thought Denver needs to do a better job choreographing his movements.
Dicko - Like Sheila, he liked it, but thought that Denver was now looking to sloppy

See what you think...

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 04:52:00 +0000

The three Dots run is over, and I couldn't agree more. I just didn't think they were near as good as some of the other bands that were eliminated earlier. In particular, Tres Bien, Franklin Bridge and definitely The Muggs were much better than them.

The Clark Brothers were fantastic last night. They sang Rod Stewart's You're In My Heart, and they did a great job. They brought Sheila E. to tears and even Dicko loved it. Whether these guys win or not, they're getting a record deal. No doubt about it. Enjoy!

Sixwire Peforming Rod Stewart's Hot Legs on Episode 7 of the Next Great American Band

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 13:32:00 +0000

Sixwire are still the most complete "band" of all the bands. They did a great job on Rod Stewart's Hot Legs. The judges loved them, but they all agreed that the bass solo has got to go. I thought it was okay. The bass players never get featured in bands, so I thought it was kind of cool. Anyway, great job guys!

The three dots made it through last night singing Rod Stewart's Young Turks. Johnny of course liked it (he likes almost anything), Sheila E. was booed for her critique and Dicko hit it on the head with this band. They're still a lot of fluff and not enough substance in my opinion. Enjoy!

Denver and the Mile High Orchestra Peforming Rod Stewart's Baby Jane on Episode 7 of the Next Great American Band

noreply@blogger.com (J. P.) — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 12:16:00 +0000

There must be quite a diverse fan base watching the show because Denver and his gang of jolly musicians made it through another week. They performed Baby Jane by Rod Stewart. I thought this was one of their better performances to date. Johnny and Sheila E. loved it and Dicko loved it to a point. See what you think... Enjoy!
