Description
The SRC (short for the Scot Richard Case) was an American, Detroit-based rock band, from the late 1960s. From 1966 to 1972, they were a staple at many Detroit rock venues, such as the Grande Ballroom.
Although the band was writing and performing some original material, its repertoire during shows was primarily covers of what they considered to be the best rock and roll songs. The Scot Richard Case also became known for the British-inspired Carnaby Street outfits that they wore on stage, and even drove to New York on one occasion just to buy clothes. Scott Richardson had a suit that he wore on stage that was covered with hundreds of tiny light bulbs that flashed to the beat of the music.
According to Richardson, the band was interested in reinventing its musical influences into something entirely new and different, and that their philosophy was as important as their ability to perform. The Scot Richard Case saw its original music as having a definite message and they were willing to risk everything in order to communicate it on their terms alone. This philosophy put them in almost constant conflict with Jeep Holland who was trying to exert artistic control of the band at the same time that they wanted, in Richardson’s words, “To present something that no one had ever heard before, anywhere, except in the deepest part of their mind and spirit.”
SRC was voted into Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Internet Hall of Fame in 2010. In addition, the band's recordings of "Black Sheep" (2016) and "In The Hall Of The Mountain King/Bolero" (2019) have been voted Legendary Michigan Songs.
