Funclub would shame this band.

Side Cho Records?

Wow.

It makes our ex-local superstar Charlemagne seem even less important.

Mueller goes on to describe their mission as one that is “Empowering people to live the life they choose, to accept the reasons of who and why we are. We want to affect the people in the Midwest, fill the void where anything and everything is possible.”

wow they are like Jesus

Except this version of jesus(Mueller) just bought Pachyderm in Minnesota. I shit you not.

I have heard someone say he likes to call himself the poorest rich man because of his debt. Add to Pachyderm The Cardinal Bar in Madison and a bunch of bloated super houses.

When is Funclub's next show?

don't even get me started

Can someone please change the title of this thread to something like "We played with the King Hen and were subjected to these douchebags"? We're supposed to be playing with KH in SF in a few weeks (we've played with them before), and the event will be saddled with these douchebags:

I feel really sorry for KH at this point, because it seems like they're getting to play with some real shitsticks on this tour. But I'm also really embarrassed for the bay area. This is what we have to offer? Some generic 80s band fronted by a halfwit ripping off Peter Murphy ripping off David Bowie? Are there no ideas left? Is that the problem? Or is it that these guys are so far up their own asses that their complete and total irrelevance isn't obvious to them? It takes time to make this crap, time which they could instead spend watching Will & Grace reruns.

There. Marsup was whining about nobody stepping up to the plate and saying mean things about bands, and I have not only done that, I've done it for an upcoming show in an open forum.

(of course we may back out of the show since we don't actually have a bass player at the moment...)

But really, who amongst us can't throw out an endless list of crap bands we've played with.

I had successfully avoided playing at Elbo Room since 1999, but they were the best club who'd have us for our CD release show back in March. Thankfully, I convinced them to let me book the supporting bands that evening, so we had a full slate of decent, friendly acts. The most pleasant surprise of the evening was how talented the sound guy was. He seemed to be flat-lining the entire evening and his attire consisted of matching grey sweat pants and hoodie, but damn if he didn't make the bands sound really great in that room. We even made a few bucks.

I can never get anyone to call me back from Hideout or Empty Bottle either. We must suck.

Oh, and that Onion Packer band is terrible. If that lead singer has a degree in vocal performance, he ought to request a refund.

Read the article, it's a scream. Here's the photo from it if you need convincing:

Please note that they all have MUST tattooed on their goddamn arms for the rest of their lives. Also note: the chick was not in the band when we played with them. Either she wasn't ready to play out yet, was unavailable that weekend, or had already left the band because one of the guys tried to fuck her; i'm not sure.

I should also note that they all were Very Nice Guys and i think they liked us, so i feel a little bad mentioning this. I sort of feel like i'm picking on a Special Olympian because he can't play baseball.

Is that Frankie Howerd in the back there?

A friend of mine leaned over to me and said it sounded like "a polyphonic queef."

Another said they would rather take a shot of their own diarrhea than hear this band again.

Enjoy the aural shitstorm. The blog entries are lovely examples of douchebagery.

I have seen this band at the 40 Watt.

I would rather hear the death rattle of my only child than sit through them again. David Cross would probably eat this shit up.

Douche-y on a whole 'nother level.

According to their band members listing, John Fernades is in the band. Is this the same guy from the Olivia Tremor Control? They sound like bad Mothers of Invention.

In a way, I'm kinda sad I never saw these guys when they were around....but then again I'm not.

I can't immediately recall any overt douchebags that we've played with. There've been bad bands, and bands that've played too long, etc, but nothing that can top most of these stories.

Dr, I'm glad I didn't make the list after injuring your snare drum.
