Scott Harrell is the music critic at Weekly Planet (Tampa) and the singer for Nessie, a band with a new CD ("Drunk with a Gun") being shopped to major labels. In a preview of an upcoming show, Wade Tatangelo of The Bradenton Herald describes Nessie's music as having "that Pixies, stop 'n' go, urgency." The 34-year-old Harrell is a veteran of the Tampa music scene; "There's always been a whole lot of talent surrounded by a whole lot of garbage," he says.
