If good looks translated to mixtapes, well, I would’ve spotted the mug of Colin Steers, Charlottesville’s prize pup in the new season of "Make Me a Supermodel," quite a while ago. (My friend Caroline included a song called "No Are Noir" by Steers’ former band, Body for Karate, on a 2006 mix.)
Unfortunately, I never caught the group live, and the lifespan of Body for Karate was pretty brief. (It was also highly danceable and, thanks to a well-employed ukulele, downright plucky.) But, much like an elephant, the Internet never forgets. So take a gander at our lanky rocker-turned-maybe-supermodel in a few Myspace band photos, and ask yourself whether he can win host Tyson Beckford’s heart with moves like this:
Body for Karate (and, in Steers’ case, a body for Bravo’s "Make Me a Supermodel"), live at Starr Hill in 2006. Steers is on the right, playing bass guitar.
Dare I ask the audience who our sexiest local musicians are?
