From International music correspondent Sari Maw:
George Huntley, lead guitarist in indie rock sensations The Connells, has been located. After departing the band, Huntley remained in hometown Raleigh, NC and became a successful real estate agent. Sources close to Huntley claim that “No one knows Raleigh real estate better.”
The Connells . . . you know, the guys that sang “Slackjawed” and “74/75.” No? If you were hip in the late 80’s or early 90’s you had to have heard them on college radio. Still nothing? Come on! They sold over a million copies of their 1993 album “Ring” . . . you know, the one produced by Lou Girodano? They toured all over the world. What do you mean, who’s Lou Giordano?! How about some old photos? Here’s George in “band days”. He’s the one in the upper right corner with the bitchin’ sideburns (sweet). Here’s another one from their darker period. He’s the one 2nd from the left with the schmata on his head (double sweet). Really, that’s him.
Never mind. I'm off to see if I can find anyone associated with Del Amitri.

how are the boys from school of fish doing these days?
I don’t pay much attention to what goes on with bands after the needle drops . . . according to Sari, School of Fish disbanded in 1994. Singer Josh Clayton-Felt died in 2000 from testicular cancer. Guitarist Michael Ward is a member of The Wallflowers. Again, that’s her random knowledge. Take it for what it's worth.
