    "I'll do whatever the song dictates - if it doesn't need a real lead, then I won't do one. But if it does, then I'll fuckin' go off." - Mike

    "Japan is awesome; the fans there knew all the words to all the songs...at least phonetically." - Stone

    "I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version." - EV

    bumping my own thread from 7 years ago :rolleyes:

    anyway, I grew up in Ohio....some good music came out of there.

    then, I lived a looooooong time in vegas. I think the only NV band of any note is/are the Killers.

    now, I'm in Salt Lake....there's nothing...unless you consider Neon Trees a band. :angry:
    If I had known then what I know now...

    If I remember correctly, Charlie had a cameo in the movie "Boyhood." Beyond that, I don't know what he's doing.

    He's still in Austin. He plays locally and he does a lot of session work. He also produces other people's recordings. For years he's been playing lead in Dylan's backup band.

    Very influential band! Roky Ericson recovered after years of psychiatric care and still performs. I saw him at ACL fest several years ago. I think there's supposed to be a reunion show of surviving members sometime soon.

    A friend of mine in Cali actually has a Fever Tree album! I gotta remind him to burn me a copy of it.

    Charlie Sexton? I wasn't aware but I'm not surprised. He performs with other artists regularly, just doesn't seem to tour with his own band.
