SAN FRANCISCO WEEKLY
Monday, September 27, 2004
Geoff Ellsworth, who's also known as the rock band the Towne Dandies ("I used to have more people in the band, but they got married and had kids and stuff"), is the star of a new "one-man football musical." Seriously: Football Town's plot revolves around several characters preparing for the last big game of the year. "It's kind of a Pee-wee Herman thing, but also Devo-influenced," Ellsworth tells us. Songs like "Gotta Stop the Run," "Can't Score Points Without an Offensive Line," and "Man in Motion (You've Gotta Believe)" drive the narrative -- and almost made us choke on our lunch from laughing so hard. The performer says he played ball in school but "did a lot of running out of bounds, because I didn't like getting hit." Further prodding fails to bring out any bitterness in Ellsworth toward organized sports, and he promises that if he's going to criticize, "I try to veil it under layers and layers of silly stuff."

One truly has not experienced all the complete and multi-faceted wonders life has to offer until one has seen a performance by The Towne Dandies.
