“Our past is well-documented,’’ drawls drummer Will Rigby. “We’ve had so many stories written about us from the tough breaks angle, and we’re not interested in having a bunch more. There’s a lot more to us than that.’’
“We don’t want sympathy, we just want to move on,” adds frontman/songwriter Peter Holsapple. “As far as we’re concerned now, our history starts with The Sound Of Music.
But it doesn’t. “We just hit a rough spell, but it’s over now,” Rigby states, in a game effort to close the subject. Referring to the dB’s career travails as a moot
point is akin to saying that Ronald Reagan is a mite forgetful. It’s hard to imagine a more worthy band that’s gotten a rawer deal. “We’ve seen just about the worst that the music biz has to offer,” says Rigby. “About the only thing that hasn’t happened to us is a plane wreck.”
“We don’t have any dead guys in the band, though,” Holsapple points out.
