Verona Grove No. 1 with Wisco fans
“You say you’re scared, scared of the fight…“
Not the punk-rock power trio that is Northeast Wisconsin’s Verona Grove. A legion of local fans helped the Fond du Lac trio hit No. 1 on the “Top 9 @ 9″ with Otis Day last month – a feat never before reached by a banding boasting “local” status.
Signed to Universal Records subsidiary Pat’s Record Company the last couple years, the VG crew – lead vocalist Tony Anders, guitarist Charlie Wilhelm and drummer Joshua Helm – tote their “Top 9″ track “Revolution” into Wisconsin’s most happening watering holes – where The Green Room often catches them at Mill Creek or large-scale digs like the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton, often touring with Fox Cities vintage-rock trio The Bakers on tap.
A video for Revolution not far off, VG sends this holiday message to all-age fans who helped get them into the 101.1 WIXX rotation:
“Thank you so much for the loyal fans that we have out there that have been requesting us for Top 9 @ 9 on WIXX!! It has been almost 3 weeks straight of Verona Grove … We cannot thank you enough…”
Alas, VG feel from the No. 1 spot on Turkey Day, aptly succumbing – at least for then – to Adam Sandler’s Thanksgiving Song.
