Unusual Gig in Pittsburgh last week - Arch Hall Jr & the Archers



If you're familiar with the 'B movies Eegah, Wild Guitar, The Choppers and 
The Sadist, you know who Arch Hall Jr is. These are films made in the 60's 
and some of them featured Arch Hall Jr. as a prospective "Teen Idol". He 
performed with his band (no looping to my knowledge) and made a couple of 
personal appearances at a showing of The Sadist (which is actually quite a 
good film) and at a meet & greet.

Apparently Arch Hall Jr & the Archers have a few more gigs planned around 
the US. One in Memphis in May for example. It was amazing seeing a film 
star 
from these strange (but good in their own way) movies 40 years later, 
since 
the films were originally made, in the flesh. I heard that he had only 
made 
one other personal appearance in the last 40 years!
