Bio
Since 1997, Barling and Collins have been building a reputation as an underground "must see" in Charlottesville, Va. They've been referred to as everything from the town's best songwriters to the real front in the war on terror (an Afghanistan veteran actually said that one night) to nothing but locker room humor for the child-at-heart. It's all true. Brimming with blasphemy and boasting a keen sense of catchy songsmithy, B.C. is a hard act to describe. Styles change at every tune. Think Tom Waits and Randy Newman have love children with They Might Be Giants and the Asylum Street Spankers at Abbey Road Studios. Tenacious D performs the circumcision.
B.C. is not a soft-serve wanna-be popstar acoustic duo churning out "more of the same." They are a sily, raucus and occasionally obnoxious, good-time band for grown-ups, complete with cussing, head-banging and full-on revelry. That being said, they can tone down their show for mixed audiences.
