MOTOCHRIST
Okay, I will freely admit that this month’s entry, Wendy Bagwell and the Sunliters is hardly an “Under Appreciated Rock Band”; but at least they are actually a Christian group as opposed to last month’s UARB, Mötochrist, which was picked only because they had “Christ” in their name.

As to the lyrics in the Betty Blowtorch song that I have, “Shut up and F--k” – taken from the same compilation album, Dr. Wu Records Compilation Vol. 2-000 (2000) as “We Came, We Saw, We Drank” by past UARB Mötochrist – I have nothing to add.

I also have a CD or two of potential UARB’s in the religious category, but I have already written extensively about “rock and religion” in five earlier posts, so coming up with something new to say is also going to take some time. As it turned out, I had more to say about rock and religion than I had UARB’s to talk about: One of the UARB’s had “Christ” in the name but that’s it, Mötochrist; and another was a gospel group called Wendy Bagwell and the Sunliters that was not in the least a rock band. Same thing about “women and rock” – I have five posts on that also, but that will be an easier topic to expand on. Anyway, we’ll see how the year goes. It is going to be hard for me to top the list of UARB’s for this past year, that’s for sure. I have even considered changing the definition of UARB to include those that do have a Wikipedia article but nothing in Allmusic, but I haven’t gone that far yet.
