Bands that no longer exist/play shows that you would kill to see.

HaydenAsche · 08.16.2008, 02:46 PM

The majority of the bands I listen to on a regular basis aren't around anymore and even recent bands have retired from playing shows. I'd seriously risk 25-life for some of these bands.

The Unicorns
Arab on Radar
M.I.A.
At the Drive-in
Hot Hot Heat before the changed singers

You've lost me there.. I just knew he was jealous of their booming beats and thats partly why he sacked Chad Channing because he couldn't get the right sound.

Speaking of Kurt- a guy stopped me in a gig yesterday to comment on my sweet 'Kurt Cobain' t-shirt which was in fact a Daniel Johnston 'hi, how are you?' t-shirt.
