Rep your hometown/where you live...

[Guest errolwest]

reading through this thread makes me real jealous. we do have great local bands, but its pretty hard for any band from here to tour, as we are right in the middle of canada, and any actual city is 6-8 hours away.

[deafmx]

All The Saints backed hard. pretty much the last Touch And Go release. more like a Sonic Youth than Nirvana but still awesome.

Mastodon* come on! shit, aren't Baroness and Kylesa also from there?

and KC! TGUK? so many great bands in KS! Kill Creek, Season To Risk, The Casket Lottery, Veda and a shout out for my friend's band TopHat! haha

I think Baroness and Kylesa are from Savanah, GA

all from Georgia, close enough. there's always OutKast too!

[diabretic]

Ok, so my hometown is just outside of Birmingham, al, so i'll use that...

Earthworm

Dolarhyde

Maylene & The Sons of Disaster

that's about all that I can think of.

I plan on being at the Coathangers show friday for sure, but probably going to the Thrashers game first. Do you have the Gentlemen Jesse live @ the earl?

Also, the ataris tuesday night and maybe constellations @ smith's on wednesday.

Have you had The Casbah Burger Stand on Mass in Lawrence? Quickly becoming one of my favorite places to eat.

[thisisahiijack]

every time i'm in lawrence i walk by it, and usually end up eating at esquina instead. it's on my list, though!

[edgefest]

Definitely worth checking out!

We just released the Bent Left LP!

Love the Riot Room too. I was in town with the Disappeared for the BL record release show a couple weekends ago. We ate at Oklahoma Joe's and I had what might have been the best ribs ever!

And the drummer from Under The Black Sails is the biggest douche I've ever met in my life.

[pastepunk]

The neighborhood I currently live in is where the guys from Fairweather lived... that's about it.

[jcamps]

oh everyone should check out trevor from wolf whistle/xfilesx/too many others to mention's label

http://croonrecordings.tumblr.com/

every album on it is free to download, they're all acoustic/lo-fi

the comp he just put out is awesome too, lots of friends on it.

[dinkle82]

This is all we have. We may not have great bands but we've influenced quite a few.

[thisisahiijack]

still? who is their drummer now, their old one was a gigantic prick, and wears a TOOL shirt every day of his life.

I don't know his name, but after what happened about 10 days ago, he might not be in the band any more.

We were at the Bent Left dudes house after the record release show and it was getting late and everyone was pretty wasted. He pinned my friend up against a wall in the hallway and left a hickey on her neck.

Then a couple hours later when everyone was passed out, he started beating the crap out of someone on a couch who was sleeping and even jammed his thumb in the sleeping persons eye. It was really messed up.

[thisisahiijack]

what the hell. alright, well the other guy i was referring to is a prick, but not a violent prick. band sucks anyway, they've been going for like six years and still sound like a shitty pennywise.

This is true. Nothing memorable about them at all.
