Hey Bradley,

Are you from the lawrence / kansas city area? I noticed you mentioned some kansas bands.

b

1. The Sugar Hill Gang

2. The Grateful Dead

3. The Dizzy-Gillespie-era Cab Calloway Band

4. The MC5

5. The Smashing Pumpkins (playing their early stuff-- I've seen and heard some recordings of their later shows and they sucked.)

*sorry for wasting space in the "most retarded shit ever" area; I didn't realize this was a separate thread.

bradley,

i guess you missed this one, Hum DID reform for one last show since they broke up in a wretchedly unpredictable way. they played new year's eve at the metro, when 2000 turned into 2001.

you'll have to come up with one more band, i guess.

regards,
jet.

They played even more recently than that! They played a few months ago in Birmingham, Alabama. Some guy put on a music festival (the Furnace Fest he called it). And he knew someone from HUM. He begged and begged and they agreed to play that one last show. I missed it, but i've seen links, and confirmations for the date and the festival. I'm glad I got to see those guys at least once though. Great show... unbelievable!
