Like a flood, middle school make out, or amateur adult film, it all began in the basement. The now-famed Yacht Rock Revue was once a band called Y-O-U, pursuing dreams of indie rock fame, when they were given free reign over Thursday nights at 10 High. In the Virginia-Highland's subterranean music lair, they did everything from original tunes to theme sets like Led Zeppelin vs. The Who to comedy (which bombed). But it was the impulse idea to smoothly croon '70s light rock (Hall & Oates, Michael McDonald, Lina Ronstadt, etc.) whilst wearing polyester, aviators, and captain's hats that captured the people's hearts.
