Shame on me for letting another weblog (no — two weblogs) beat me to posting about the Athens/Atlanta band Grand Moff Tarkin. Athens is rather famous for its theme bands (Man or Astro Man? and Servotron Robot Allegiance are two examples. And I suppose you can add The Dictatortots to the list now, too.) and for a while last year, Grand Moff Tarkin was at the top of the heap. Fronted by local legend Jim Stacy as Darth Vader, the band put on as good a show as I’ve seen here. The photos on the Tarkin site say it all.
