Best Use of Kazoo in a Rock Song: Nominee #2

I'm sure if you've kept up with this blog at all you already know that I'm just a little bit obsessed with the little band from Massachusetts, Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers. So when Andy was quick give The Spinto Band the Grammy for Best Use of Kazoo in a Rock Song, I couldn't help but slow his roll and add another nominee to the category.

So here, for the millionth time on this blog, is Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers with their rousing saloon-style rocker, "Uninspired Gambling," with Kellogg playing what is known as the SK & the 6ers "horn section" (about seven kazoos shoved into a harmonica neck holder). The bassist-turned-piano player (for this song) Kit, aka Goose (these guys have fun nicknames) takes it to the next level by whipping out a sweet keytar solo that brings down the house.

Sorry about the video quality. I didn't do it. If you want to see part two of the song (full of a water drinking contest and drum solo while the rest of the band throws stuffed animals at the drummer), click here.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: you need to see this band! Head to their website right now and see when they're coming to your town this Spring!!!
