Bobby Conn is one of my fave "fringe" rock artists. Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, Conn has been cranking out terrifically creative work since his self-titled debut in 1997. The dude actually rocks harder and, yes, better than 98% of your well-known dinosaurs. You always have to leave that two percent margin. I dunno why.
At any rate, here are two of my favorite Conn performances. The first is for "Never Get Ahead" on Chicago's kid-friendly dance show "Chic-A-Go-Go" (I believe this is the same show that once spun a Jandek tune for the kids to groove to), and the second is a live rockin' version of "You've Come a Long Way, Baby." Enjoy. And buy some Bobby Conn while you're at it.
