Local Bands

Oooh, Local bands:

Relik - We played with them and KITTIE, and I gotta say I -loved- them. Wow.

Razorkasket

Others Not Equal (Now called None Other)

Soldiers of Scrape

Self Infliction

The Power Source (Of Course)

Yankeyville (I do like some country now and again, even though my ex is boning the whoel band. Er... I mean, engaged to the sax player... APPARENTLY NOW YOU CAN HAVE BOTH!!! Ain't love grand?)

Seigemachine (And not just cause it's my brotha's band)

My gripe... Detroit metal bands in general, forget how to sing. They catch a dominant squat, and grumble out line after line of incoherent poetry in Grover voice. I'm not saying all of them, I mean RSP, and Relik, for instance have awesome vox, but from what I've seen, playing shows it's kind of a rarity.

In anycase, I -love- detroit music.

Quick trivia: What now-famous Detroit rocker did a spell on the Drummer's stool for Goober & the Peas?

Answer: Jack White of the White Stripes

(Similiarly to Spinal Tap, Goober went through a host of drummers for a while...)

first off, Cix...it's not fair to Kiss Red's ass like that...you know damn well that, with Misconcieved being the highest drawing local at Harpos, and getting invited back to Ritz...that you will soon be able to pick any show you guys want.

and yes brother...I hear your gripe..and I agree.....the field is littered with growling, egotistical bands that don't know how to sing...which is why bands like Misconcieved, Chaos Theory, Relik, and other come up and Dominate...because they show ppl that metal isn't clearing your throat for 30 minutes over a mike.

800Beloved (simply beautiful stunning post-punk, they remain mind blowing with every listen)

are they still doing anything? I saw them at last year's DallyInTheAlley, and they went down a storm...but there were (at least to the best of my knowledge) no follow-up gigs. :(

still love the Twistin' Tarantulas, and I've heard that the Twilight Babies might crank it up again. I'll believe that when I see it, though. I wish Bird Plus Magic hadn't (seemingly) packed it in when their bass player left.

    • So I just got back from Happy Endings and I saw @DJ Saintthere.  He told me that after I got kicked out of High Dive that later on Mike also attacked him, and Mike and his crew were also kicked out.  Then we talked about the scene and possible upcoming gigs.  I hope something comes his way soon, as well as mine too.  With the current economy I think more club owners will be hungry to try more things like goth/industrial/other alternative nights.  I've also heard that GenZ isn't online dating and is actually going out into the world to meet people which may also help business owners, though they aren't drinking which doesn't really help much.  I think more places are going to need to start serving food and mocktails to make up the difference. Then Mike showed up at Happy Endings which I thought was highly likely because I hadn't seen him there in a while, and @DJ Aaron Hingst,@elektrosonik, and his husband Tim were all there too.  He did something else I wasn't expecting...  Which was he actually shook my hand and said it was good to see me, which caught me a little off guard.  He didn't apologize for anything but it's a start I think.  I told him I was sorry to hear about @djpleasurekitten's passing (which I was/am.  Despite the rift that ended up existing between us we were friends at one point.) So maybe he's moving on finally?  If so then I'm glad.  I'm still not sure if I'll ever go back, but it is at least a start, and it's nice to actually see he's trying to bury the hatchet in something other than my skull.
    • Stargate Universe, which everyone said sucked but I'm actually enjoying it? Like there are less jokes, but lots of dark humor, and people might actually die rather than have 10ft thick plot armor?  Yes please more of this!
    • Failbook is blocked so I can't see any of the info. "Oh you don't need to login to view!" No, you don't understand...  This is my /etc/hosts file:   # Block Meta IPv6 fe80::1%lo0 facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 login.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 www.login.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 www.fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 fbcdn.com fe80::1%lo0 www.fbcdn.com fe80::1%lo0 static.ak.fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 static.ak.connect.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 connect.facebook.net fe80::1%lo0 www.connect.facebook.net fe80::1%lo0 apps.facebook.com12 # Block Meta IPv4 0.0.0.0 facebook.com ~~~~~ A METRIC FUCKTON OF OTHER FB DOMAINS ~~~~~ 0.0.0.0 zh-tw.facebook.com I had to edit it and cut off many lines because it's 2171 lines long and the overwhelming majority is just Facebook domains. Those IPs for v4 and v6 mean they lead to the HTTP equivalent of /dev/null X/Twitter is blocked too.  I need to block Alphabet/Google and Microsoft as well, but they're actually useful for certain things (damn you YouTube and GitHub!)
