isn't Pagoda from New York?

[snailhook]

there are two pagodas, and the one in dc has been around longer. adrian from shortstack is in the dc pagoda. while i wouldn't call them "great", they are quite good and sound like the clean and yo la tengo and galaxie 500.

 Okay, Snailhook, well I've seen ONE of the Pagoda's and whichever one it was I liked them.  And which is the Pagoda with the singer who was in the Gus Van Sant movie?

What are the odds of someone having the time to create a webpage that lists all these local bands, has a short description of their music (especially a  "RIYL"-type tag) and links to their webpages?
 
 I'd love to support local music and something like that would go along way to making it easier.
 
 Yes, I'm f**king lazy...but it's hard to keep up on all this stuff.

I have to do a technological project for my IT class at school for the betterment of the community. . I'm wondering if I could justify this haha.

dcist.com does a good job covering local indie rock bands...

Hands down, the Rhodes Tavern Troubadours are the best local band. They've got the WAMMIES to prove it.
