Rose Hill Drive performs "Cool Cody"

Jake and Daniel Sproul joined friend Nathan Barnes to form Rose Hill Drive when they were in high school in Boulder, CO. But it’s not your typical high school band that gains accolades from people like Pete Townsend, who recommends their live show to experience them “with hair flying and the volume turned up to 11.” Could be Pete is so hard of hearing at this point that he needs the volume turned up to 11, but how then to explain similar recommendations from bands like The Black Crowes, Robert Randolph, Queens of the Stoneage and Wilco? Even Van Halen asked them to be openers. Their self-titled debut has since hit the streets via the Magaforce Records/Sci Fidelity label, and the band is now on tour in support of it. They play at Nietzsche’s Tuesday (Sept. 5), at 8pm with their loud, contemporary take on blues-rock.
