Beer drinkin'

but I also have a soft spot for the bracelets

Funny, we shared rehearsal space with them .

Strange dichotomy in that room some nights.

I don't know. We actually have quite a healthy scene for fun bands to go see that are good. Not a whole lot of mind blowing acts but you could see 4 or five decent shows on any given weekend in the Twin Cities. It's hard to pick the best.

Please tell me we Yarrred next door to them at some point. That'd make it even better.

Very nice. Welcome!

You should PM me. We probably go to the same shows.

But where the fuck is Colony of Watts on your list? You new in town or something??

Houndrunner is up in the air...one member lives in Providence now (though come see them play on the 28th at the Corral Room).

As long as we're talking about great bands that are essentially defunct (Houndrunner, the 'dozer)...where's the Hat Party on your list? The Bracelets?

Rookie.

OTTAWA CANADA!

http://www.myspace.com/metztheband - metz - sounds like drive like jehu. just moved to toronto. great dudes.

http://www.myspace.com/buriedinside - buried inside - metal on relapse. great live shows. just about everyone from ottawa loves these dudes.

http://www.myspace.com/hilotrons - fuzzy pop from dudes who were in 230947203984 bands before this

http://www.myspace.com/kepler - went on to bands like tusks & arcade fire. great pretty slow music

weights and measures - can't find a link for them - mathy instrumental stuff

also definitely check out the spectrasonic back catalogue:

http://www.spectrasonic.com/bands/ss000.html

all those bands rule. and of course if you want to go back further shotmaker, union of uranus, doughboys, etc etc etc

also shawn has some of his pictures from the 80s/90s/etc bands at scallen.com - worth checking out!

Rookie.

I had a hard time deciding between Colony and Houndrunner for the list, But my gut went with Houndrunner for some reason. Maybe it was Chads sultry voice that got me.

(here comes the "Rookie" statement) I've only heard the Hat Party tracks on the Sector 5 comps and never saw 'em live. Like what I've heard, but couldn't put 'em on the list.

I like Bracelets too, but my tastes tend to be a little rougher around the edges. Hence....

I'm sure we've met before.
It's a small town.
