    Great to see the love for the DBT here. One of the best live bands out there, and a group that I think would be a killer opener for PJ.

    Looking into get tickets for DBT and Widespread Panic in Nashville for October.

    he's pretty known.

    Was Ben Kweller in a band called "Raddish" several years back? Like in his late teens or early twenties?

    That'd be Jason Isbell. Shonna (The Bass Player) is the cousin of a guy I work with here in San Diego. He hadn't heard the DBT until I loaned him Dirty South. He took a look at the liner notes and realized who she was.

    Great to see the love for the DBT here. One of the best live bands out there, and a group that I think would be a killer opener for PJ.
    That would be awesome......on-stage jamming between the bands would bring the house down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey PBM, the girlfriend said come to B'ham in November....see them sing "Birmingham" in Birmingham!

    Gov't Mule is another one, although I think they're fairly well known. They're absolutely amazing, Warren Haynes Is God, and is one of the most talented guitarists of the past few decades.

    I've listened to very little of the John Butler Trio, and they fucking rock - I can't believe I put them off so long.

    Faith No More is another one, although I think they're fairly well known, too.

    I think i hardly know anyone who's heard of faith no more because I'm in year 10 and almost everyone I talk to even huge music fans haven't heard of them... And yes Mike Patton is a vocal God:D

  • A british band called Delays they are amazing live and their album is pretty much faultless. They have a new album on the way too.
    Lost Dog: if you like Keane you should check out a band called Thirteen Senses, kinda similar style (except they have a guitarist).

  • Crack The Sky is a very underrated band that has been around since the mid 70's and are still cranking out great music. Hailing from OH,and having gone thru many lineup changes, the latest lineup has been together now for the most part of 10 years and they have a HUGE following in the Baltimore area and still sell out shows everyplace they play. Check out the website at http://www.crackthesky.com They have a FREE BOOTS section where you can sample some tunes. I reccomend ICE, HOLD ON/SURF CITY,SHE'S A DANCER,NUCLEAR APATHY....oh hell, LISTEN TO EM ALL!!!!

  • A few years ago, I was going through some best of the nineties lists, and started checking out some bands that I didn't hear about. The two that blew me away when I heard them were Walt Mink, and the Magnetic Fields. The other band from the nineties that seems to get little mention was Sixteen Horsepower.

    What would be a good first Government Mule album for the beginner?

    http://www.brianjonestownmassacre.com/

    go to this website right now and download their music. they have all their albums available as OGG files (easily converted to mp3s). this band has been around for about 10 years yet have remained relatively unknown until just recently, when an independent documentary premiered at sundance. the film was called Dig! and it compared the careers of two bands: the dandy warhols and the brian jonestown massacre.

    thanks to this film, the brian jonestown massacre are starting to reach a wider audience (for better or worse). i had the opportunity to see them at lollapalooza (where i also got the chance to see arcade fire and drive by truckers). they rocked. the best part about them is that you can download their albums right from the website to see if you like them or not.

    i recommend starting with take it from the man! or give it back.
