You know, I saw them open for RBF and the English Beat and I was really blown away. They kick a lot of rear end, especially live.

If that was a month ago I was totally there.


Are you going to BTMI/Andrew Jackson Jihad on the 2nd?

I'm late to the Big D party, but I just gave it a listen. Its not terrible but not what I like.

I'm all about more horns and fun, but Big D horns are not Streetlight horns.

I saw a band on somebody's website once, called Tyrannosaurus Sex

That is probably the best band name I've ever heard

I dunno if they're frmo Boston but if they are you should look them up just based on the name

Tyrannosaurus Sex used to be The Ransom. They're pretty awesome but I haven't talked to them in ages I don't know if they're still around. We played a ton of shows with them and they're good guys but they get drunk real fast.

I'd have to check and see who's not poo poo like my band, but definitely go with the Jolly Pirates and Void Union, if anything.

I am in in Skally Cap Mafia, which was pretty much a run of the mill straight out of high school ska band. Lead singer can't sing, or write lyrics and the non horns didn't really like writing decipherable lyrics anyawys. I like it, but we need to condense and practice a ton more.


On the other hand, nobody seems to like my idea of some kind of dancepunk ska band, somewhere between Cobra Starship (who are douchebags), and Streetlight. Ska with a drum machine basically. It sounds ridiculous but I think it has potential. Just nobody interested.

Re: New England

I don't know if you guys have have heard the original, but I've liked Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers for a while, even before I heard the Big D version, because my aunt used to have a ton of his stuff and made us listen to it when I was a kid.

original

I mean its pretty much a straight cover plus horns, and that's totally fine, not to mention all Boston-based bands have to do an obligatory few (or in the case of Dropkick Murphys, all) songs about being from Boston, so there you go.

I mean a bigger Grath fan than me doesn't exist, I give Missed the Boat credit for getting me into pop punk, but goddamn House Boat blows the Steinways out of the water. Are You Into Metal has my favorite line ever.

Have you heard his Barrakuda McMurder stuff?
