Battle of the Bands Update

The Band

Two more matches in our Battle of the Bands on Dr. John's Record Shelf, two more winners who will meet in Round 2. The Band (seeded no. 2) held off Vanity Fair (15) by a narrow 5-4 margin, while the Troggs (10) upset Traffic (7) in an 8-1 blow-out.

The Troggs

The winning songs were "The Weight" and "Wild Thing," which bested "Hitchin' a Ride" and "Paper Sun," respectively. This week's winners join the Easybeats, Buffalo Springfield, Free, Manfred Mann, the Rolling Stones, Mott the Hoople, The Who, Sweet, the Moody Blues, and the Tremeloes in moving into the next round.
