Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Permanaent Record

There’s just no way around it. School sucks. Unless, of course, your alma mater is Paul Green’s School of Rock. With 29 campuses nationwide, SOR is the country’s premier academy for rockin’ and rollin’. It was also the basis for the Jack Black movie School of Rock — as well as that film’s forthcoming sequel. This Saturday, the institution’s best and brightest, dubbed The School of Rock All-Stars — perhaps “Band Names 101” isn’t part of the curriculum? — present their master thesis in kickin’ ass and takin’ names at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge. Locals Buddy Dubay and the Minor Key open.
