.college bands.
? "We came together a few years ago while w<
sVcre in school at UNC," said Mike, the group';
leader. "It was something fun for us to do. We re

clubs and concert halls.

too hot, ideally at about 9 p.m.," David said,
e However, lead singer MacMillan said, "I would
s much rather play in clubs because the acoustics
Lt tend to be a little bit better."
The Onnells played a mixture of music from
^ their five albums: "One Simple Word," "Fun and
j Games," "Boylan Heights," "Ring" and "Darker
1 Days."
3 "We decide what we are going to play by pick- J
ing the songs that have done the best over the jj
l. years," Mike said. "Fun and Games," "Slackjawed" |
k and "Sal" are some of my favorites to play." i
3 "Mike usually decides what we are going to play ft
and the order, but I would have to say that my fal*
vorite to nlav is "'74-'7S" because the rrnwrl real. -
ly gets into it," David said,
j Christopher Collins, a dedicated Connells fan
spent the week travelling with the band and logged
almost 1,000 miles on his car.
r "My ex-girlfriend got me into The Connells, so
I really started following them in 1990 when 'One
s Simple Word' was really popular," Collins said. "My
s favorite is 'Scotty's Lament' because it reminds me
of British rock 'n' roll."
Connells fens can expect a new album in the fall
s or early next year, according to Doug MacMillan. J
"The working title for the CD is 'Blue Gremlin.'"
3 The Connells have music videos for their hits
l "74-75," "Slackjawed" and "Over There" and are I
i presently working on their fourth, "New Boy," off
their latest album, "Ring."
