So, I admit i am not always on top of some of the DC bands. What I am trying to do, is be sure we (BigYawn) have reviewed a comprehensive list of DC bands 2004 releases. I obviously know a bunch, and we have reviewed some too, but I'm trying to get the bands I just don't know enough about...
Anyone wanna help? List 'em if you got 'em.
Thanks

if you don't buy it for the music, but it for the liner notes
as for DC2004, the Q and not U is becoming one of my favorite of the year, but I know they are not exactly what you were looking for
-
You're right Pollard...but Your Pal certainly is. I know the bigger ones:
Trans Am
Decahedron
WSC
Q and not U
Apes
Beauty Pill
Engine Down
but I know I'm missing a ton. need to pay more attention to all the CD release parties around town perhaps....And check the lovitt, Teenbeat and dischord sites...but i know there are others. Plus tons of smaller local bands that send us stuff all the time :)

White Flight [/b]
I'm sure very few of you are nerdy enough to relate, but everytime I hear about White Flight I think of Alpha Flight (along with Gamma, Beta and Omega Flights). Makes me smile, as it once was one of my favorites

I know we're not indie enough to be on anyone's list. So we had to go to Germany and score a debut at #7 on the German Alternative Charts...this week #6. Prodigy's newest album is sitting at #3!

That one too...
-
technically, I believe Morrison moved to Seattle, so is he local anymore?
-
He also played Galaxy Hut... I think we can still call him local.
But the Walkmen, or the French Kicks... prolly not.
-
Is he any relation to Jim Morrison?
-
I once saw a band from Detroit play Galaxy Hut. Were they local?

Generally speaking, if you are gonna play a small hole in the wall venue, you are going to do it in your home town. He could have played at a lot of venues given his stature, assuming it wasn't a timing issue, but he instead played at the Hut. Whoever you saw from Detroit were juts looking for a gig, and that was the best they could do.

Or maybe the pitchfork rating doomed him to galaxy hut

Perhaps the PopMatters review did it:
"This is quite literally as disappointing as records get"
"There should be a new section in record stores for that god-awful Sgt. Pepper movie, Joe Pesci's Vincent Laguardia Gambini Sings Just for You, Jewel's book of poetry, and Travistan."
