Ft Reno

Lord, it looks gorgeous outside. Looks like perfect Ft. Reno weather, but I'm not familiar with the lineup:
CANYON, GARLAND OF HOURS,
THE FATALES

Any thoughts?

Dude, but LOOK AT THAT HAIR – so supple, so shiny, so full, so New Jersey mob wife!
Hey, we're not being helpful at all! I know a couple folks mentioned Canyon as a possible opener for Idlewild, so someone must know about them. Alas, I can give no guidance, though I may head out just because it's so nice today.
Oh no, Bags, Michael Bolton was VERY helpful. He reminded me I need to condition tonight. But I'm with you–it's so nice out, I might risk an evening of no-talent ass clowns.
i like canyon…alt-coutryish/rock stuff. ive seen them a couple time and they put on a good show. i might head out for the show myself.
it is a nice day, but man. those bands are baaad.
why do you think canyon is so baaad?

every band has to start somewhere. Fort Reno is a showcase for local talent and is free. What are you going to do, ask for a refund.

I can understand being disparaging after seeing a show, "here is 25 cents go and phone your mum and tell her you will never be a rock star" And I can understand slagging off a band if you paid good money to see them and they were bad.

I dont see the point on ragging on inexperienced local bands playing Fort Reno, that is what its all about. And for what its worth from what I remembr I think canyon are Ok.
except most Jersey mob wives have more hair on their chests…

In my opinion….

Canyon kind of suck.

They aren't that bad but not worth a walk across the street.

I'll stay home and file my nails and play some good CDs.
I say go. It'll be a beautiful evening and you may end up liking one of the bands.

For a band that allegedly sucks, Canyon sure seems to get a lot of gigs. I'm tempted to see them some time just to see why they suck.
Go for it. Maybe you'll turn into a big Alt-Country/Canyon fan.

And as you say, it is a very nice evening. Much, much closer for you too to take a chance.
Fatales were alright. Walked out during Canyon, pissed on my elementary school with the boys. Paige was there, she left during Canyon too. I thought the slide guitar would be enthralling, but no dice.
In my opinion, the only band that I liked was the Fatales. I'm sorry, but the Garland of Hours or whatever's female singer had the most flat, horrible voice. Sure she could play the piano and the cello - which was cool, but I mean I could have sung better than she did! Canyon didn't interest me as much as I had hoped, but I tried to give them a fair shot. However, I was just let down, bought a cremesicle and went on home.
nobody listens to turtle.

you say that based on who you saw at the show last night? are your black rimmed glasses out of focus? when i hear "emo" i think of the kids who wear beaded bracelets, tight dickies, hair in their eyes and care bears t-shirts all while accessorizing themselves with a bad attitude and arrogance….

i didn't see many of those people last night.
more a crowd of older (by no means old though) more low key people.. i did see a few grandmas too. ;)

agreed. Fort Reno tends to be the awesome people capital of the east coast, in my humble opinion. There's definitely no better scene in DC.
