Ive seen mega city four 36 times. sad but true.
Is this sad or are you the same.
I dont mean if you are supporting someone and see them every night.
It has to be going to a gig to see them.

Jesus Lizard maybe 4 times, Fugazi about the same, The Mission about the same. That's right, I said 'The Mission'.

in 1998/99 i must have seen "Victory at sea" about 8 times.
Those guys just opened for everybody. It was pleasantly unintentional.

I can also name about 5 or so Chicago area Shellac shows I -didn't- go to... and people always bitch that they "never play" in Chicago... pfft.
I think the only other bands I've seen more than 5 times are Dis, Dianogah, Silkworm and Six Finger Satellite...
Why the fuck am I not in fucking Chicago?

I have seen local bands countless times. For a while The Gilroy's would play at the local coffee shop every other Thursday. After a few months of this I asked the guitar player for "exponential". The Gilroy's became Pilot Round the Sun and Wise and Foolish Builders and the sax player joined a reggae band. This started in 1998(?) and still goes on today.
Traveling to Philly I've never seen aband more than three times. Included in this group is:
Mercury Rev
Flaming lips
New Bomb turks
Rev. Horton heat
Bardo Pond
Magnapop
Supersuckers
Didgits
Dickies
Melt Banana
Falling in the middle are the bands I "carried stuff for":
Gerrymander Bob & The Bigger Lovers--The Diane Linkletter experience--The common Bass player in all these bands was Scott Jefferson. I never helped out once they started releasing stuff for Yep Roc
