2 questions:
What is the thunderdome, and who the hell is Lit?

I love Lit...though I bet I couldn't find anyone to go with me if they were at the 9:30. I wish they were coming to D.C.
Lit was one of the big HFS bands about 3, 4 years ago. Their videos can't be distinguised from Blink 182, Third Eye Blind, Eve 6. Lots of tats, a couple guys in the band have stupid hair....but, they had some great songs on their 1999 album "A Place in the Sun."
I agree totally with this blurb from Amazon.com:
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Power pop is a catch-all term used to describe the music made by any band that knows a minimum of three chords and plays them loudly through electric guitars. Because of this, power pop is often frustratingly dim. Lit are the exception. On A Place in the Sun, Lit sound like Nirvana minus the angst, replacing it with Cheap Trick's melodic sensibility. Their slice-of-Gen-X-life lyrics are comprehensible, wryly personal musings of love, lust, alcohol, and the abuses of each. "My car is in the front yard / And I'm sleeping with my clothes on / Came in through the window last night / And you're gone," frontman A. Jay Popoff relates in "My Own Worst Enemy." Popoff sings in a from-the-gut, pure rock & roll voice that never needs to scream to be powerful or emotional. The hooks, played by brother Jeremy Popoff, are bigger than a cruise-ship anchor. There is absolutely nothing unfamiliar about any of these songs, but A Place in the Sun is one of the meatiest albums of its ilk, leaving its counterparts in the dark. --Beth Massa

I have a better question.
What is John Water's X-mas thing going to be like. All I know so far is that Mary P. will be play.

They were the house band at Gallaghers in Huntington Beach,CA back in the mid/late 90's. They probably should have stayed there.

Check out the FAQ section (http://www.930.com/cgi-bin/ubb-cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=001644) on the board. Someone asked the very same question yesterday and Eddie responded.

yeah i was wondering that too...i love lit...wish it was at 9:30 :( oh well...they always put on a fun show. maybe they didn't plan far enough in advance to book at 9:30...one of their email updates said some places have to be booked 3 months ahead of time, but i didn't think 9:30 was that way...not that i know they book shows.
