Very cool Jeff! I went to law school at Western in the late 80's-early '90s and even did a bit of stuff at CHRW. I fondly remember listening to all kinds of cool stuff at the legendary "Call the Office." Does it still exist?

Yes, Call he Office is still around and still the best spot in the city for live bands.

Hey hey! Go Forest City! London is a great place to have live shows - I love going to call the office specifically for that purpose. Infact, I think I'll meander down there and see what's doin' tonight.

Has anyone heard of 'The Della Roccas' or 'The Delia Roccas' I think thats their name. I heard this band recently... I would like to check them out again in Camden (when or if they are ever there next) Anyone heard of or know them?

Yup I know these. My new fav band. Saw them first at 93 Feet East in Dec. Impresive stuff! Might see them again in Jan at the Half Moon. My iPod has all their tunes on! Viva Della Rocca!
