So after all these years, I figured someone on the web, somewhere, had to have done a tribute site to the greatest band you never heard, the Iron City Houserockers. .
The Houserockers were led by a Pittsburgh special-ed teacher and Springsteen pal, Joe Grushecky. During their still-lean heyday in the late seventies and early eighties, they were as good, tight and powerful as any band in the world - and I include my favorites (Springsteen, Petty, the Clash). Have a Good Time But Get Out Alive (produced by Ian Hunter and an uncredited Steve Van Zandt) and Blood On The Bricks (a Steve Cropper joint) are two of my twenty favorite records, ever.
But not a single fan site anywhere.
Hm. I might have to change that.
