Favorite Local Bands
pistachio:
well.. before they got all label sign-y and everything, Idiot Pilot... went to a lot of their local coffee-shop gigs and what-not... different, but good, they were just on MTV news today too... I was like, thats not right but what are you gonna do?
mookers:
Elktones, (upside-down !)El Toro!
La Creme:
Anyone outside of LA who likes delicious indy, I pine for you. The Sugarplastic are a pretty much solely LA band and they rock immensely (immensly?). They're like this ca-razy combination of The Beatles, The Pixies, a lil' bit of Eelsy / Wilco-ey softer rock, The Talking Heads, and (just a wee-tiny smidgeon) Elvis Costello. The singer is anyways.
I highly recomend getting any CDs of theirs you possibly can, as they are one of the best bands i know of. I've never had the oppurtunity to see them live (they pretty much just play the Derby and Spaceland which I think are both 21+).
Also, if you're into ska, i highly recommend seeing The Shennanigans. Although I've heard from the trombonist (who is the man) that they have moved away from their orignal fun, peppy ska and now play noise-rock-ska-fusion crap. And he's the most reliable guy in the band. So poo.
BrittanyMarie:
I consider any band from North Dakota local, and also some Minnesota ones. Only the gooduns though :)
This one, Snakehandler, is from Lisbon, ND. Lisbon has a streetlight so it's considered a big town! Their myspace is located right here.
Shirts Vs Skins is a guy with some friends who play with him. He had three other songs up earlier that were tons better, but I think that these are neat as well.
Cut and Run is also pretty good too, I think. They're touring, and you should see them!
Last, but not least(!) June Panic is kind of famous. Did you know that his debut was Secretly Canadian Records first ever release[/u]? Well it was! Another interesting fact is that he is married to the lead singer of Snakehandler's sister (she sings backup on the first Snakehandler song on their myspace, as well!)
Revenge_Therapist:
These guys are from Chicago but close enough
