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.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

    • I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.  
    • You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.
    • Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
