hello 1995.

in case you wanna go back a decade but stay local in DC:

Everclear W/Jonny Lives and Big City Rock
Santa Fe Cafe, College Park, MD
Fri, 10/13/06

and speaking of old:

Veruca Salt
Jaxx Nightclub, Springfield, VA
Fri, 10/06/06

Doesn't Veruca Salt still have enough indie cred to play inside the city limits? Velvet Lounge, DC9, Red & The Black, Warehouse, hell even Talking Head or Sonar in Baltimore but don't banish them to the burbs just yet

No, they don't. The new band is quite horrible, and only has one of the original members. Needless to say, not nina gordon. Exit Clov opened for them in Pittsburg last year and while we didn't stay for their set the soundcheck was horrendous.

Of all people, since when does having fans in the suburbs connote "less indie".

Though you're right, they never had indie cred, I'm sure most of the folks at JAXX will be the same who hit the American Idol tour….

I wasn't implying that; I believe the other guy was.

I don't think I know a single song of there's, but I'm willing to wager many of their fans are people like me who are now 30+, and perhaps have moved to the burbs.

pittsburg, kansas, or pittsburgH pa? :D

Much as I loathe to ever do so, I agree with Rhett. I think Veruca Salt's audience consists largely of mid-90s college grads who live in Fairfax/Centreville and work for AOL out at Dulles.


Not that there's anything wrong with that….

Uh, hey. I'm a Veruca Salt fan too.

But I didn't even know they were playing. Nina Gordon's solo stuff was pretty much crap, and I stopped following it from that point on…how can the band even progress without her? No wonder they are playing Jaxx.

Panic! at The Disco
w/Bloc Party and Jack's Mannequin
11/11 Patriot Center

Not that I really give a shit, but isn't Good Charlotte really big now? Why are they an opener? Hell, I'd think just the chance to see Hillary Duff would be a big draw for the tweens.

I'll bet you've heard "Seether", but may not have known it was V.S.

New album coming out Sept 16 – one song's on myspace. I like it…

Perhaps not. I tuned out anything "alternative rock" after about 1993. Unless you count stuff like Uncle Tupelo and the Bottle Rockets as alternative rock.

I haven't heard them on KEXP, or any classic rock stations that I sometimes listen to.

and dupek has never heard a Radiohead song (i know, much less likely, but still)

its funny how some people on here claim to be so discerning and musically knowledgable and tasteful, yet they claim to have never heard songs from many bands.

so i suppose rhett hasnt ever heard any songs by Candlebox, Silverchair or Seven Mary Three either?

i dont think so. sure, maybe their music sounds a bit different, but Bloc party and Panic! are the two biggest mega-hyped Indie bands of the last year or two. and they are mostly the same audience i'd say.

in fact, I like Panic! better than bloc party. :eek:

I have never heard songs by Candlebox, Silverchair or Seven Mary Three, to the best of my knowledge.

I do have recollections of some crappy music. For example, I once saw Soundgarden and Living Colour together at a tiny upstate New York in 1988. I was there to see Living Colour, and actually liked them at the time. Never liked Soundgarden.

I actually have heard Radiohead songs though. I even liked the Bends and Ok Computer (a friend made me copies on cassette way back then), and what I've heard off of his solo album I've liked. And that Creep song, Yorke is making millions off of it selling it to the Rock Star INXS and Supernova shows.

I wasn't trying to start a burbs vs city shit storm, and my definition of "indie cred" at least in this instance was that they'd be playing a smaller venue, slighter more discriminating crowd, kinda in the same vein if Nada Surf, or the Posies came through town. Not that there's a similarity to those two bands. Though sans Nina G. the last time I saw them (Black Cat 2000/2001?) wasn't THAT bad, and I'd go see them if they played at a metro accessible venue, I just don't want to drive somewhere, where there's essentially nothing else to do other than drive back.

i wonder how long the list of bands rhett has never heard songs by really is? for a guy who talks constantly about how "discerning" his taste in music is, it seems like you havent really even heard a lot of bands.

perhaps you have some other generalizations of bands you've never heard's fans?

or some more reviews of live shows you didnt go to? i am starting to think you talk out of your ass 100% of the time, instead of the previously assumed 60-70%.

do you think aging and moving to the suburbs is like some natural progession of life and maturity or something? or does the city kinda just kick you people out after a while?

As I said, I pretty much tuned out "alternative music" after about 1993, and listened mostly to country and old jazz.

I just hated all that angsty overwrought 90's grunge music. I've heard Alice in Chains, STP and Pearl Jam. The rest of the bands are going to sound simliar to a non-fan…just at the Bottle Rockets and Uncle Tupelo are going to sound similiar to you.
