I listened to Simplicity last week for the first time in years.

They were a great band that, unfortunately, never seemed to gain a lot of traction. Too bad.
URBAN VERBS
Ooh ooh…Carborundum! :D

If only because it was the first and only time I was named "official band photographer."
Happy Go Licky. I really believe…dare I say it…that they were better than…Fugazi
DENALI!

ENGINE DOWN!!!!
i don't really wish they were still around, because most bands break up for a reason, but i always thought that one of the most underrated local bands was THE ROPERS. really great dreamy indie pop on teenbeat/slumberland.
Root Boy Slim & Capitol Offense
The Slickee Boys
Most Secret Method
Out Circuit (Did they break up?)
Chisel (They were much better than Leo)
Tuscadero
Raymond Brake
Burning Airlines
Q and Not U
Dusters
Mystery 7 (little known Ska band)

Nation of Ulysses

Black Eyes pre Cough…

I never liked that record
Murder Ink. Wow, someone remembers them. Do you have their CD?

I have to agree with most of these, 9353 happy to have seen them the first time through and when the briefly reformed (and played the Taste of DC). Velocity Girl IIRC broke up because of the downward trend in their CD sales. Date Bait, the Ubangis still play on occasion, and that is pretty close.
Mother May I
High Back Chairs
I just downloaded some of their stuff from emusic - good stuff….
The Press Gang
Le Musiq Sportif
Canyon. They were stunning. I know Brandon Butler does a solo thing, and some of the rest of the guys are playing as Revival, but Canyon was way better then either of those two acts.
black eyes!!!
