And I can't remember then name of the band, but this guy, Steve, who I used to move furniture with about 15 years ago had the most righteous band with this other guy I moved furniture with (his name escapes me too…was it Doug?)

I heard that guy's a dick. :D

I second Velocity Girl. I still listen to those albums. The reunion shows they did a couple years ago at the Black Cat were great…glad I was able to attend.
Velocity Girl absolutely – I fell in love with them after they broke up (or whatever happened to them)
Beauty Pill doesnt exist anymore?

I would second Smart Went Crazy
Dismemberment Plan

Ditto on Smart Went Crazy and Jawbox
Beauty Pill is putting out a new album in May called "on not knowing"

Random if by "dick" you mean "really sexy and in real life much taller than he appears on the internet" I have heard the same thing. This Steve guy must really be something else!!! :)

Chaz, I think you mean the seminal and totally awesome rock band called Too Small Children. They totally paved the way for so many other bands that never did anything and no one ever heard of. Who hasn't heard of the unforgettable night of rock they performed at Galluadet University?

Chaz and I used to work with a guy named Scrupmtious Al. It was quite a job.

Thanks for that info. I just assumed they had quietly dissipated, since they lost more band members, haven't played a gig in god knows how long (late 2004?) and haven't updated their website in a year.

I can't believe no one has mentioned either Phaser or Q and Not U. I was able to see Q and Not U perform several times, but I'm still pissed that I never got to see Phaser live, so I wish they were still around the most.
Q and not U
Candy Machine
Dismemberment Plan
Jawbox
oh yeah, how could I forget

Shudder to Think
Capitol City Dusters

Didn't Q & Not U just break up last year? That's probably why they aren't on the tips of everyone's tongues. Need more time to miss them than a few months.
