Overrated with a capital OVER

Unfortunately, everytime I hear about the MCD's, I get a slight bile taste as I recall the way Kathleen Wilson used to yammer on about them in almost every column and article she used to write.

Example of a Kathleen Wilson sentence: "...so I was sitting at the Cha Cha, when in comes all of the Muder City Devils and they all ran up and gave me a hug, and we spent the rest of the night at the Cha Cha laughing and talking, then the bartender of the Cha Cha..."

Why can't Area 51 or Death Wish Kids reunite?

Where exactly is "Murder City" he posed for the millionenth zillioneth time? Kent? Sedro Woolley

I'm with Bruce on this one. They're a catchy band but they are saddled with the baggage of the turn-of-the-millenium hiptard scene that this city just now seems to be emerging from.

That's a pretty stupid reason to loathe a band, cause a eeekly's writer (whom I thought was a prety damn good one) talked about them too much? A tad petty, don't you think?

all i know is that i had fun at their shows, and i still have fun listening to their records. really, what else is there?

If I could have one band reunite from that era it would be the Kent 3. Seattle needs that type of energy/smarts/fun in its music scene right now, without the pretense or hipster-flakes.

Saying Gabe Kerbrat is just a roadie, these days, is insulting. He's tour managing those bands. No disrespect to roadies but c'mon the guys been around forever show some respect.

I agree with Marco.

Dirtytime: If you hate an overgeneralized group of people so much why do you let them have that much of an effect on what you listen to? It's pretty much exactly the same as listening to shit because it's "cool" instead of because you like it - except, you know, the opposite. But it's the same mentality and end result.

Whoever that dumb looking fat guy with the trucker hat is (and the wannabe Lemmy 'stache) needs to go. I hope he's not the singer! What a douche!

My other brother is a dick.

If you can't drink and laugh while listening to the Murder City Devils you probably are a hipster.

Darryl, your other brother IS a dick. What does Larry think about Gabes look circa 1999?

Hey who is the stupid looking fat guy in the trucker hat? He looks like, well, a stupid fat guy.

Damn this jaded city stinks sometimes.
