Bands you miss

The Toadies
Keep your eyes peeled, while I don't think they'll ever reform and record new material (at least not while Todd is still pimping Burden Brothers), they're not above doing "reunion" shows if they're getting paid, they've done 2 in Texas this year.
Jawbox (just heard them on KEXP…they were great).
Winter Hours. Just found out a couple of days ago that singer Joseph Marques died three years ago. The only info on cause of death I could find said that he had a heart attack.

I saw them a few times at 930 F St. NW. One time, when Stanley Demeski was temping on drums, a friend of mine did the board. I went up to the booth to check out what he was doing just before the set and he said "Do the lights." Having had zero experience I protested but he showed me the little slider box anyway. So with 5 seconds of training I did the lights for a then-hot "college rock" band. Good times.
for some reason i've been missing blind melon a lot. Unified theory never did it for me. i think shannon could have made that band put out so many other good albums.
