For a while it was Most Secret Method, but then they broke up.  Anyone remember them?  For now Trans Am and The Apes will do.

I kind of like Weird War after seeing them open for the Walkmen.  Of course, that could just be in comparison to their TERRIBLE set...

they are all in other bands, local bands, but still, I imagine it is hard to schedule shows

jeeze, how's that for bifurcated tastes?
 
 my local faves in no order:
 hidden hand
 canyon before brandan butler left the group
 carrion would make the list if they played around here more often
Title: Re: favorite local band
Post by: snailhook on June 17, 2004, 09:15:00 pm
i'm in agreement with ikarus here. the hidden hand are awesome, and canyon was really onto something (but now that brandon butler's out of the band, it ain't gonna be the same).
 
 carrion kicked ass, but they broke up a couple of months ago.
 
 dead meadow are probably my favorite local band, followed by:
 
 thee snuff project
 (sounds of) kaleidoscope
 fugazi
 wooly mammoth
 the apes
 mikroknytes
 orthrelm
Title: Re: favorite local band

Title: Re: favorite local band
Post by: nonmenthol on June 17, 2004, 09:19:00 pm
orthrelm is a definite yes
 
 oh lordy
 
 orthrelm + me =  :)
 
 they fucking rule but i wonder if the guitarist knows any chords at all?
 
 ponder on that while i stick it in you

I once saw a band called Speedwell at the Blackcat. They seemed pretty solid.
Title: Re: favorite local band
Post by: mkabza on June 17, 2004, 09:55:00 pm
If you're counting bands that are no longer, I'd have to say Dismemberment Plan.  Otherwise it would be Tone, Phaser, Trans Am, and Washington Social Club.
Title: Re: favorite local band
Post by: ratioci nation on June 17, 2004, 11:53:00 pm
i guess i would say wsc but have only seen them once so maybe they were really good that show, I think have seen Dead Meadow more than any other band, local or not, so I could go with them as well
 
 and I really like the carlsonics' album, but have only seen them once as well and it was not as good as the album

Post by: Facey8 on June 21, 2004, 08:27:00 am
Fugazi goes without saying, except for the fact that I just said it...
 
 
 Jimmie's Chicken Shack is still a rockin' bunch of righteous musicians so I'd have to say them - I'm surprised no one else has.  I wish they'd play 9:30 this summer before I go back to school.
 
 - Are Ted Leo & the Pharmacists still considered local?  They're pretty sweet live. BOOK 'EM 9:30!
 
 - And yeah, it's real trendy right now to rip Good Charlotte, man.  They work hard and I'ma put a vote in for them if no one else think's it's 'cool' to do so.  They certainly beat out shitty bands like 'Greenleo'

Title: Re: favorite local band
Post by: Bags on June 21, 2004, 03:36:00 pm
Washington Social Club, by far.
 The Carlsonics
 The Nighties (R.I.P.)
 
 But I need to get out and listen to more local stuff...for one, looks like I need to give Beauty Pill a second chance.  Saw the at Fort Reno and I was uninspired...

Oh, yeah! I loved them.
 
 And how can we forget from back in the day, The Talking Heads!? But it's really only their earlier works that I really like, specifically, the 1st album.
 
 Phaser (of course) except the new demo clips on their site kinda suck. They seem to have taken the worst parts of their worst new songs to upload.        :roll:      The new songs they've played the last couple times are much better than those.
 
 The Slickee Boys
 
 The Wanktones
 
 Skywave
 
 Can we claim Lilys? They would be on my list too. That guy moves so much that I'm not sure who gets them.
 
 (I know I'm missing some as we are lucky enough to have so many.)
