Local awesomeness goes national
sp2:
So, there was a "pimp your local bands" thread a while ago, but I'm too lazy to dig it out, plus, it pretty much sucked anyways.
ANYWAYS.
One of the really awesome local bands from the Denver area, DeVotchKa, are going to be touring with the Dresden Dolls for a leg of the Doll's tour in October. Dresden Dolls are worth seeing on their own, but DeVotchKa have an amazing live show (which is why they sell out large venues in Denver and Boulder) and are definitely what anyone would have to call "musically adventurous." SEE THEM.
So, any of you have some really good bands from your local scene that are going to be out and about that we should make an effort to see? I'm not talking about the "Well, I'm from Montreal, so I guess Arcade Fire is a local band!" I'm talking about bands that are really well-known in the local scene but have virtually no national recognition that damned well deserve it.
You know, so we can go to their shows and buy their CDs and spread the word.

Psh, America-centric no?
Fuzzed up Isle of Wight dwelling bastards of sanity Overlord are doing (or maybe just have done actually, meh) a tour of Scotland and the North of England sometime this summer. A far hunting ground, but necessary, they're far too extreme for the south. There are literally five people on the island who appreciate them musically. I recommend seeing them if you have a chance anyway. The idea of seeing them live with a decent PA system makes me wet, especially now they've kicked the shit members out the band and roped in crazy Mike, and can actually perform their best songs.
sp2:
Well, hey, if you know any bands touring the US, shit, let us know. But unfortunately, fewer bands cross the pond than anyone would like.
KharBevNor:
I don't know. I've seen a fucking mind-numbing number of awful American metalcore bands.
sp2:
Didn't you know? Americans can't make metal. We just sucks at it, is all.
