Even though the band is gone, you can still get Pete Weiss & the Rock Band stuff...
We're An American Band
Yes, it's the long-awaited new release/farewell document from Pete Weiss &
the Rock Band, a swansong of sorts but also a celebration of the music that
makes us want to rock. Yeah, Grand Funk Railroad's perennial anthem
"We're An American Band" is on here, along with other rarely-covered gems
from rock and roll's past. And of course, there are plenty of Pete Weiss originals.
For a more complete rundown, read the ironically-titled News
page.
