Please get over yourself. Every band in Seattle gets their posters torn down by the poster mafia. It's the way of the world. And what happens when a poster gets torn down? We put it up again. Practice vigilance and persistence. Leave self-pity at the door.
played that show in the picture with them. they're alright, not my style though. they were kind of stoner-rockish. i also dislike when bands have two drummers that play the exact same beats... at least try out some polyrhythms.
Yep, that little ploy sure didn't work. You particularly didn't post it, and the band name, and photos, on a blog that gets even more hits than I, Anonymous...
That totally HOT drummer fucked that dude blowing something? Jesus christ. And I wasted all this time sucking at playing guitar when I should have practiced at sucking at playing tuba. My reality is shaken to the fucking core, man.
2 drummers in a band is stupid. What are we, grade eights who won't stop fighting over who gets to play what? I'm sorry, one of you will HAVE to suck it up and play the clarinet.
Wow, you ALL suck, one day ago SLOG commenters were blasting Ben Whatshisname for being a generic indie rocker who's band wasn't original and didn't try hard enough and now you're all "two drummers and a tuba!?! what? not on my watch! and lets talk syllables!"
This band has two drummers (ahem, pavement?) and a fucking tuba player! A fucking tuba player who cares enough to either A) put up fliers all over town, then play the tuba outside of random diners handing out fucking handbills, then check the fliers, and then go home and be all "hey internet people stop pulling down my fliers" or B) just write one I anonymous clever enough to get the attention of Savage and get seen by way more people than any filer would.
What do you want from bands you guys?
@ 44, personally I want bands to stop sucking, and gimmicks like this are real likely to be an attempt to cover suckiness. But I realize that I'm just an old man (40) who doesn't get what these kids are up to anymore, and that my judgment is probably impaired by this condition.
After reading through his submitted letter, I was certain that he left the band name out because it was completely apparent: Sic Throughout. It is three syllables, after all.
@45 You want bands to stop sucking but you're wearing a Black Flag t-shirt in you avatar? is that ironic? I loooove Black Flag but let's be honest here, they sucked, and wasn't that the whole point? They didn't play music very well but their music had a certain 'feeling' that transcended their complete inability to make "good" music?
But man were they different, they tried so hard that even though their music was horrible it was somehow good and inspired (hopefully) three generations of weirdos to get in the van and spread goodtimes around the country.
Maybe I'm naive but when I saw those pictures I immediately thought "wow, they look like some people who know how to have a good time and are at least trying something different and I'd like to see it happen"
I'm as jaded as anyone when it comes to rock but I've seen more than my share of talented musicians playing mediocre shows at amazing venues and I'd so much rather see Idaho Meth Project in a shitty basement.
hmm I have no cluuue which bandmate he fucked.... what a loser that he needs to brag about such a ridiculous thing. That dude needs to get a life. I bet his band sucks.
Mo-ther Love bone = 4 syllables
I-da-ho meth pro-ject = 6...WTF?

Thank you.

Now THAT'S what they should have called themselves.
But yes, that girl drummer = lust!

It's in the official rule book right between "the show must go on" and "don't wear your own bands t-shirt".
Duly noted.

Four, as well.
The one in the back looks like way more fun though.
Opus in Deathtöngue, aka Billy and the Boingers, circa 1986. You kids have no sense of history.
2. Quit whining.
I second the Hot Drummer Chick t-shirt idea.
What.
