Disciples of Christ (2019)

Wikipedia Genre: No Wikipedia, but gospel
Home: Houston

Poster Position: 26


Thoughts: Aw man, I got caught in the same trap again as 2015, thinking that this was going to be the sweet Christian rap group that is available on Spotify.  Here is my 2015 review, that just made me laugh out loud all over again.  But I did just get to jam "To Da Dome" again, and it still rulez.

According to the ACL bio page, the actual Disciples of Christ that we will be hearing is a Houston, Texas gospel group made up of four lovely ladies.  Searching for these folks on YouTube brings you to some interesting stuff.  Here is a band called Disciples of Christ, who I am pretty sure is not a Houston gospel group.

That kind of stuff makes me giggle.  Who really wants to hear any of that? BBBBBWWWAAAAAAAA!!!!  GGWWAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!  Gggrrr gggrgggglll  nnnrrggrggddd!!!  The band's "full set" is 13 minutes.  Killing it!  The majority of other music on YouTube for this band name is the rap group mentioned above.  But here is another band using the name, who appears to be singing in a non-English language.  French maybe?
Ah, wait, now I see.  You have to search for Disciples of Christ Houston.  They really should look into one of the other infinite names out there that have yet to be claimed by multiple other bands.
Here's a little action from the Stubb's BBQ stage - I assume this is part of the gospel brunch thing they do on Sundays.  The person shooting this video is using what I call "Puke Mode" on the camera, wiggling the hell out of it and coming in for random close ups.  Just set the phone on the table and prop it up and let her roll, man.

How about one more, blaring it out at a church in Houston.  Also filmed on puke mode.


But, regarding the tunes, they've got nice voices and can harmonize well.  I won't be there at 11:45 on Saturday to see them, but go knock yourself out.
