Herman's HermitsRound One of The Battle of the Bands to determine the great British rock and roll group of the sixties and early seventies is winding down on my radio show, Dr. John's Record Shelf. Last night we had the penultimate match-ups, from the Pop Bracket, in which Herman's Hermits (seeded no. 4) took down the Shadows (13) by a 7-4 vote, while the Searchers (5) eked out a victory over Status Quo (12) by a score of 6-5.
The Searchers
This week's songs included "When You Walk Into the Room" by the Searchers; "Pictures of Matchstick Men" by Status Quo; "I'm Into Something Good" by Herman's Hermits; and "Apache" by the Shadows. This means that the Searchers will face Herman's Hermits in Round Two. Next week, we'll wrap up the first round with the last two Pop Bracket pairings, including one involving the presumptive favorites in the whole competition, the Beatles. Check back next Monday to see how the Fab Four makes out.
