The Connells
The Connells are an American band from Raleigh, North Carolina. They play a guitar-oriented, melodic, power pop style of rock music with introspective lyrics that reflect the American South. Though mostly dormant, the band continues to play to this day. Quite popular in Europe, the band is best known for their song '74–'75 which became a Top 20 hit in the UK.
The Connells were the first band to headline a concert at Raleigh's Walnut Creek amphitheater in 1991, and on June 4, 2010, were the first band to headline the Red Hat Amphitheater in downtown Raleigh.
Early history (1984-87)
Guitarist Mike Connell formed the band in 1984 along with his brother David Connell on bass, Doug MacMillan on vocals, and future filmmaker John Schultz on drums. This initial four-person line-up was quickly supplemented by the addition of George Huntley on second guitar, keyboards, and vocals. Around the same time, former Johnny Quest drummer Peele Wimberley replaced Schultz, finalizing the "classic" line-up of the band.

Hey Wow
by: The ConellsIs the sun out,
Has the wind died,
Or is this stillness here the calm between my ears?
And I know now why they put me here.
Things were clear once
'Til the clouds came,
Now I don't know when they'll fall--
No, I couldn't say at all.
And I know now why they've kept me here.
I've been paralyzed by a choice that lies
Well inside of me--
Which world to hold me now
And I believe I'm drifting...
Hey, the mist surrounds me more and more
Hey, wow. It swirls and it rains here.
Hey wow. And I have known this all before.
Hey wow. And nothing's very...Are the stars out,
Is the sun down,
Or is the darkness here the calm between my ears?
And I know now why the've left me here.
I've been mesmerized by a voice that cries
Well inside of me
Too loud to hold it down.
And I believe I'm drifting...
Hey, the mist surrounds me more and more.
Hey, wow. It swirls and it rains here.
Hey wow. And I have known this all before.
Hey wow. And nothing's very clear.
