--- Quote from: thought.bubble.says ---Doris Henson is an amazing KC area band. Think Bowie, GVB, Talking Heads, and Neutral Milk Hotel. I have a feeling i'm going to say "i've seen them play to about 15 people in a dive bar, and now i can't get a ticket" They are about to tour too, check 'em out.

Their sound must be a bit punk if their playing Scolari's Office and that place most certainly is still a dive bar so it looks like their dive bar days aren't behind them yet. ;) Still, they don't charge cover so I think I'll head down to check them out on Thursday night.

--- Quote from: Spencer ---I'm not as well versed on my local scene as I was in the 90's. I just don't live in the clubs anymore :( However, this is my current favorite San Diego band
Goodbye Blue Monday
And I guess I'll say Pinback too, cause I just started getting way into them.
And while I'm at it, I'm gonna put Scarlet Symphony on the list too. I've only ever heard 2 of their songs, and I'm just way behind the bandwagon on this, but this is one of those bands you know you're gonna love. In fact, it looks like their cd is now orderable on their site, so I shall purchase one post haste.
Hey Yipjump, like I said, Im a bit past my SD Music prime. What other SD bands are you digging right now? Im fairly sure I saw Bunky on Fox Rox but I cant remember if I liked what I heard.

I'll have to check out Bunky and Goodbye Blue Monday but I believe I saw Scarlet Symphony play at the 2003 SD music awards at Humphrey's By the Bay though I could be mistaken.
As for my local selections... Rocket from the Crypt has been around for ages and they're a bit to heavy metal to be my favorite but they're not bad and they're a local music institution. Switchfoot has a real early 90's alternative type sound which I dig but sometimes they let that whole Christian thing seep into there music to much; still they're a very talented band. Satisfaction & Reeve Oliver are about as EMO as a band can get but I like their Beatles-eque sounds. I read an article about the lead guitarist formerly was in Dogwood and decided to give Satisfaction & Reeve Oliver a try because I liked Dogwood before they broke up. There worth the money to go see.

There's four awesome perth bands! (perth aus) they all rock live, btw. much, much better live!!
oh, and check out the "polyphonic spree" they're not local, but i love 'em anyway!
Mockery:
Grace, I saw Little Birdy and Eskimo Joe, both live at Melville Youth Festival last year (or was is the year before?) and yes, they are very good, and better live, definitely.
My opinion is that Eskimo Joe sounded more betterer (is that a word) than Little Birdy do, but then, I like their music better anyway.
Did you say in another post somewhere that you're in a band yourself?
Oh, and my $0.02: halogen, another perth band, quite nice.
_grace_:
nah, not in a band mahself, but play bass. go bass.
i was at that yac it up! very good, so was this years with jebediah! gotta love it. i can't really think of any other truly great local bands.... Exit to Arcade are pretty good...
Edit: ooooh! i forgot The Waifs. i love them, can't believe i forgot them!!
