"Rockin' and Shakin' in Rock City"

A popular Newcastle band built up a slightly bigger following than their arch-rivals the 'Velvet Underground', because they were banned from less venues than the 'Velvet Underground' were. Whereas the 'Velvets' were long haired rebels to the parents, the 'Michael Scott Group were reasonably clean and tidy, compared to the scruffy and unkempt 'Velvets'.
