Let's see a pic of your city and a youtube vid from a band hailing from there

[HEyHEY]

And no big bands. If you're from LA and you post Welcome to the Jungle there's gonna be trouble.

Here's Part of Downtown Vancouver (Known as Yaletown, full of people I hate)



And we'll go with a local classic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbquA796WJQ

And a newer one, just cause they rock...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgJ5g1UrQ0g&feature=related

[PBS Poll-435]

1. Dallas Texas

The incredible "Dixie Chicks"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtqwL-ZPhAA

The band started in Dallas in '89.

[HEyHEY]

4. Is there an information booth at the top of that tower?

[PBS Poll-435]

14. Which one?

At the "Reunion Tower" there is a revolving restaurant. It is under construction at the moment. It is the big "dandelion"-looking thing in the left part of the picture.

[HEyHEY]

19. the "Sunsphere" - old simpsons gag

[PBS Poll-435]

20. ...

:banghead::banghead::banghead:

Ran right into that one....

:P

[Crabby Appleton]

34. I saw the Chicks busking on the street in the West End

way back then when I lived in Dallas.

[LeftyMom]

2. Sacramento

And here's a band from Sacramento that doesn't suck (so you know up front that it won't be Tesla or Cake) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhaIqVGdrA8

[HEyHEY]

5. I'm not joking, the video says "Not available in your country" WTF??!

[LeftyMom]

7. That's weird. Here's another copy of the same song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6Z9Wje7uzA&feature=related It's not the official post from the band's page, so it's probably not restricted by location like the first one was.

[HEyHEY]

9. ah, deftones, cool!

[LeftyMom]

11. They did a free show at a park downtown last summer.

I couldn't go because of sitter issues or something. :(

[Ava]

3. we have none

since i live in the middle of nowhere x(

[HEyHEY]

6. I'll take a local cover band... ah fuck it, just say fatboy slim is from there.. he rules

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGpkNPbSa2Q&feature=related

[jobycom]

[ccharles000]

10. Greensboro NC.

I don't know of any bands

[HEyHEY]

[taterguy]

29. The Ben Folds Five bass player was from Greensboro

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFZqwOql0XU

[blitzen]

12. Portland

And, for the music, one of my favorite bands, Richmond Fontaine:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YDnmHRPIZI

[HEyHEY]

13. There's a kickin' band from there called the outcrowd, you know em?

[blitzen]

17. no, I live in Baton Rouge now...but I'll check 'em out.

[LeftyMom]

16. I loves me some Portland.

[GReedDiamond]

89. I watched it...

[jpgray]

15. TC, MN

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1fBMtaVd9s

[HEyHEY]

18. Ah, the "Du"!

And jusst cause I added it late.... you may really dig this group, Black Mountain

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgJ5g1UrQ0g&feature=related

[ghostsofgiants]

53. Very nice.

[truedelphi]

21. Kuhl. Marking now so I can post Sausalito tomorrow

About four minutes of a Sausalito yard ripe with wild flowers and overgrown with weeds,
while a certain Siamese poses in the front door.

[HEyHEY]

24. Are there many italians in Sausalito?

[truedelphi]

38. CIty had many Portugese. And many Spanish

And English, German, Irish.

Nowadays, we live some three hours away, in a more remote and rural areea. But from time to time I miss the trumpeting of the sea lions.

And the stories circa 2002, of the one adolescent sea lion, who at a scant 1600 lbs, would take to ambling along Bridgeway Avenue in the wee hours of the morning. It is said that he was fond of poking his nose at the displays in the Art Galleries there. I always wondered if the occasional drunk coming out of the No Name Bar wasn't taken back a bit, thinking, "boy, did I ever have one too many tonight."

[HEyHEY]

62. haha... no one gets that joke when I say it

In Kerouac's On the road he stays at a friends in Sausalito and when he asks if there are many Italians there, his buddy cracks up for some reason that is never explained.

[truedelphi]

71. Kerouac would have been welcome here (Posting video)

But it was after his time

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxggfT7uAzQ

[mcctatas]

22. OK, believe it or not I found one...

Oshkosh WI


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAodewYc4xE&feature=related

[HEyHEY]

25. Ah, Wisconsin.... home of many a DUer I'm fond of.

[enigmatic]

23. Some good friends of mine from Deadmonton

"Bring Me Back"- City Vox

http://recluseshow.blogspot.com/2008/11/bring-me-back-city-vox.html

[HEyHEY]

26. How're things up there?

[HEyHEY]

27. HAHAHA, that is "Edge-like" ha!

[enigmatic]

28. The Oilers are mediocre, the Eskimos stink, and Randy Ferbey looks washed up

Other than that, fine!:D

[hobbit709]

30. I'm in Austin

and if I posted youtube links you'd be here for 3 days.

[TX Screwball]

56. Hey Neighbor!

I'm on the east side of Buda.
These guys are based in Austin, not sure who all is still living there, but I dig this vid.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=KmsOIjzQ1V8

[Forkboy]

31. Fitchburg, Ma - Lot Fifty Four

A little too metalcore for my tastes, but it's the only band from Fitchburg I know.

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=202599178

But here's one I like from the next town over.

Today Is The Day
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKLIVRB1rXI&feature=related

[Dystopian]

51. OMG! Fitchburg....we're neighbors : )

:hi:

My son's band is listed in their top friends...small world!
www.myspace.com/eyessewnshut666

peace~

[Forkboy]

61. I've heard of them.They've played in Fitchburg at the Compound, haven't they?

I just added them to my own Myspace page. You can tell your son that mom sent Forkboy to his page. :)

[Dystopian]

67. Yes, they did play there....

Very cool, he'll be glad he has a DUer on his friend's list:D He thought it was hilarious when I showed him this post:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=8214736&mesg_id=8214943
Good thing he has a sense of humor. He's a good kid.
I went to the Compound to see them...felt like a chaperone. They're regrouping, got rid of the singer, if you can call that singing...growling? He's doing it now, and they just got another guitarist...
Oh the life of a band mom:o

peace~

[Forkboy]

81. Those pics are cool.

Got to love having the kids involved to. And the dance looked fun. :)

It's funny that you talk about the singer. That type of vocals is one the ones I have a hard time with, though I like the music part. But if you heard the music I listen to you'd laugh tour ass off because the vocals are ten times more weird, deranged, and/or hateful. I've been listening to a band called Coffins and the singer sounds like Cookie Monster gargling glass (in Japanese, mind you), and black metal bands usually have this raspy, otherwordly screech from beyond that I could listen to on a perpetual loop. Go figure. :shrug:

Some day I'll grow up, but at 41 it hasn't happened yet, thankfully. :crazy:

And band moms rule! :D

[Dystopian]

82. Weird, deranged, and/or hateful ; )

I had to go full circle to find this band...I plugged Coffins in on YouTube, and the first page was FEMA coffins!
:scared:
You pinned it down, Cookie Monster gargling glass:rofl: I think they all sound like that.
No, you've not grown up....You kids really love that stuff:P
Thanks, I'm telling my son that band moms rule...Forkboy said so! :hug:

Enjoy! Sometimes music is all there is....a song for every moment.....

peace~

[SOteric]

32. Seattle

[mwooldri]

36. My childhood home:

Cranleigh, England's biggest village:


This one was lifted from www.cranleighvillage.net

Another link with more pictures: http://www.picturesofengland.com/England/Surrey/Cranleigh

And someone you know moved in a few years ago...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9heOFFlAcFY&feature=related

But don't write to him! He's not returning your fanmail.

As for his former band-mate Paul, he calls Surrey home - within 8 miles. Peasmarsh.

Eric Clapton lives nearby too in Ewhurst.

[JVS]

39. One stop shopping

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_Qp6amEGLo

[billyskank]

40. Bedford

Don't know of any bands from here, which doesn't mean there are none of course.

[Chorophyll]

41. White Plains, New York

Impressive, no? :eyes:

Here's the video. When he lived here he was known as Matthew Miller, apparently.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hip2i9yHZ38

[tabbycat31]

87. I miss White Plains

although I was there a week and a half ago. I definitely do not miss the nightmare that was parking in White Plains.

I'm from Pleasantville, NY.

[Chorophyll]

91. Hey! I got two parking tickets in Pleasantville.

Both times at the Jacob Burns Film Center. So it was worth it. Actually, Pleasantville is a great town!

But yes, parking in W.P. is a disaster. Gotta love our new skyscraperage, though. :eyes:

[tabbycat31]

92. that dosen't surprise me

about Pleasantville since the cops there give out parking tickets like candy at Halloween. I've never gotten one myself there though. I have in White Plains.

I have actually never been to Jacob Burns. My friend met Michael Moore there in 2004, called me right away, and I arrived about 5 minutes too late to catch him. There's someone I'd like to have a conversation with.

I'm a little bitter about Pleasantville right now though casue I was not invited to my 10 year HS reunion.

[Chorophyll]

93. Pleasantville not so pleasant to you, huh?

Wait until you get to your 20 year reunion. Then you won't be so bitter. ;)

[tabbycat31]

94. I'll probably be forgotten then too.

I guess high school reunions have a selected list. They could have tracked down my parents and sent something to their address or something. In high school, my friends did not go to my school so I could have easily been forgotten.

Oddly enough, having spied on my HS class on myspace, most of them still live in Pleasantville (or NYC or Florida). I think I'm the only one who now lives in NJ.

[FloridaJudy]

42. Okay. Gainesville, Florida

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKL4oq6IJnQ

52. Gainesville requires a mention of Hot Water Music and Against Me!

[guitar man]

43. Tulsa, Oklahoma

And the band is as local as it gets, The Salty Dogs (that's me on your left).Sorry about the rough vid quality, it was shot on a home camera sitting on the bar and lashed to a post to keep it from being knocked over by drunk bikers. :crazy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNdGiuJYkjk

Geinus:

Errand Boy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXgSZyQ950c

Kinda hard finding videos of local bands that I like.

[MorningGlow]

54. Rochester, NY

Band: The Chesterfield Kings

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjmAy8Mn6PU&feature=related

I could go with Lou Gramm/Foreigner, but I don't wanna. :P

[NashVegas]

76. Oh My Goodness

Chesterfield Kings? Didn't they used to play at the QE2 in Albany? Damn, I feel old.

[MorningGlow]

78. Tell me about it!

I don't know about Albany, but they used to play Scorgie's here in Rochester when I was too young to go to the shows; I always yearned to be a bit of a "bad girl" who would be able to get away with sneaking in. Close as I could get was hanging out at the House of Guitars, where three of the five band members worked. Greg (lead singer) used to cut us broke high school students some sweet deals when he was on register.

[greendog]

55. Since I live in an uncultured backwater...

House of Wigs is shown briefly in the Matrix 2 scene where they are tearing around to the freeway onramp. It was one of my favorite things to see on my commute at the time and when I saw it in the theatre I yelped out "House of Wigs!" This is my picture taken before it was closed. A lot of cool things about my city are disappearing.

You wouldn't believe it, but there were well over a few thousand people watching us play at this festival in Colorado but it was so hot, no one wanted to be on the black top. Jesus, listening to this now, I know why I fired the trumpet player. Anyhow, there it is.
