Weekend Concert Series: The Upper Crust

Okay. Here’s an obscure one. Ever hear of the Upper Crust? I didn’t think so.

The Upper Crust was sort of a joke band. They dressed as 18th century nobleman, complete with powdered wigs, and played heavy metal songs about being the upper crust of society.

They had songs such as ‘We’re Finished with Finishing School,’ ‘Little Lord Fauntleroy,’ and ‘Let Them Eat Rock.’

Not sure that they ever made an album. They were all members of other Boston bands and did this as a mini-supergroup. They were especially popular with other musicians and industry folks.

So, peasants, enjoy what you are given. And look up more about this group if you find them funny.

    I lived through the Upper Crust era in Boston and it was funny. Also loud. The scene rocked, or should I say roqued….

    Whatever. These guys are a kick. References to ACDC are not undeserved, but they’re so much more.
