Abstract:

INDEPENDENT WKKELY's band of the month is Raleigh's Big City Reverie. The band was formed in an unusual way. Pete Wilson, the band's lead vocalist and guitarist, was looking to form a new group of like-minded, experienced players in a certain age group. His solution was to use the Internet as a recruiting tool. Cornell talks with the group about their work.
