http://www.singers.com/juke/ Listen to the NYC group "Rockapella" do Shambala (by three dog night), and get a load of the vocal percussion. Also listen to the group "Bob's". I can't imagine an all vocal arrangement of Helter Skelter, or Purple Haze is the easiest to write. |

WOW....that was insane, I didn't think it could possibly be a human voice doing the percussion at first. I bet they would have a tough time pulling that off live...haha.... |

Yep, What get's me is the sophistication of some of these arrangements. I started my college glee club, directed it, wrote a few arrangements, and with the exception of the standard Barbershop stuff, like "Nagasaki" "Bring the Wagon Home John", "I had a dream dear".... A few of the easier arrangements were no piece of cake.... Like I'd mentioned, after the Yale Alleycat's performed their rendition of "Never my Love" by the association, I realized I best not be writing arrangements either ..
Some of these writers have ALOT of talent ! To fill in on a few of these slow songs, they need to do alot of stunt-type vocal work... I enjoy this stuff however...  When I grow up, I'm going to sing like these guys

Nathan, under the "New Stuff" section, Rockapella does a rendition of "House of the Rising Sun", where the "Percussion vocalist" (as they call him) does quite a job of the percussion vocalwork on the song |

Hey! I remember that too! I wondered why the name sounded familiar. I remember an acapella group named The Bobs when my roommate was a DJ on college radio in the late 80's. They were good. Down in southern Illlinois where I used to live they had an annual apple festival and invited an acapella group from Chicago called ACROCK (which, they pointed out, could be either ac-rock or "a crock"). I liked them too, and they handed out free CDs at their performances. |

Yep, These groups have appeared on TV specials, and shows. These are the top known groups. Listen to Exboyfriends sing Led Zep's "Ramble on". |

OK, Now I'm tempted to write an arrangement of "The Rain Song" for A Cappella. |

This is a recently ('03) discovered fave of mine out of the Seattle area... http://www.thecoats.net/ They were singing outside the Tacoma Dome before a concert I went to there with my ex-wife. Especially as cold as it was, I was REALLY impressed with their live delivery. And in talking to them after their performance, I wasn't anywhere near surprised when they said one of their influences is my favorite group of all time (I still own more of their albums than any other artist)...The Nylons! http://www.thenylons.com The Nylons put out the '87 covers of "Kiss Him Goodbye" and "Happy Together" that were all over the radio that summer. When I figured out that the only instruments they used (at that time) were percussion, I was hooked! Edit: Just realized the Coats are on the site linked in the OP in three places at least. "The Trenchcoats" is the same group...they changed their name after Columbine, IIRC |

Alanis Morrisette did an acappella version of You Oughta Know with an vocal ensemble backing group from the University of Pennslyvania. The male voices sound just like a an actual acoustic upright bass. It has a really COOL sound to the entire song. I dont know if it was ever released on a cd or not. But it may have been perfromed on an MTV Unplugged show. You can probably find it out on Napster or Sharebear. |
