Best Rock Band: The Lee Harvey Keitel Band. You could say the Lee Harvey Keitel Band has taken this troubled title through sheer persistence, and you might have something there. Like a band possessed, this foursome has gigged and gigged and gigged and gigged and gigged and gigged-at one point, as part of the group's summer "Balti-tour," it attempted to play a different local venue each night for two weeks (and, for the most part, it succeeded). If you've missed LHKBND it wasn't because the band wasn't playing somewhere nearby. While you have to admire the group's attempts at omnipresence, that isn't what won it the final nod as Best Rock Band. We don't pretend to know what Lee Harvey Keitel and his cohorts are on about, but there is a strange power to their music (and their need to play it for people) that has made the group one of the most perplexingly passionate bands around.
