I dont think this has been done before.
Introduce us to a local band or two that you think we should check out. It cant be yours, or any TBer's band.
The band should have music posted online, otherwise its pointless to introduce us to them.
Well here are the two I would like to submit:
Pygmy (Miami, FL): Punk-Jazz?, Indie?, I think the right label is "cool." http://www.i-am-pygmy.org/ I just noticed that it looks like the must have recently broken up. I'll have to check that out but I recommend checking them out anyways.
Escape Grace (Gainesville, FL): Hardcore metal I think decribes them best. Not really rough though, very rifined, clear sound with distinct melodies. http://www.escapegrace.com
They kickoff their tour on Friday.
So those are my two contributions. Lets see yours.
Peace

Dont let my name make you think that im in it. I just love that band. The bassist posts on this board. His name is jean baudin. He is the single greatest bass player I have ever seen. I cannot wait to hear his solo cd. I will be buying it the first day.
well anyway Nuclearrabbit.com is the website. click on the media tab |

Now (like, as of Sunday before last) defunct band that managed to mix a doom metal (think My Dying Bride) outlook with a bluegrass sensibility with extremely (to the point where I went to just about every show I could get out for) good results. The band's calling it quits after recording their second album because the singer decided he wanted to go to law school near D.C. Anyway, they were cool. Downtempo bluegrass with rock banjo, a mix of pizzicato and arco upright playing, and fiddle work that sounds like it's straight out of a gypsy caravan. These guys can groove, too.

If the venue was a pirate ship, they'd be the house band. You can read more about them and get sound clips and whatnot on the website.

Note that this the only link to them and it is through one of their labels, "Smooch Records", which will be distributing their new release internationally this fall. Jello Biafra will be distributing domestically on his label.
A good friend of mine plays upright bass (pluck as well as bowed) for the band. They have received a great deal of praise of late, recently being named the #6 band to watch on the Denver scene. In fact, one local paper cited them as being representative of the new "Denver Sound", to which my friend replied, "whatever the hell THAT is".
Anyway, check 'em out. Sort of a low-key alt-country feel.

| | | this band used to be local (just a few blocks from my house), but recently they moved to ferndale, just outside of Detroit (michigan).
The Brian Schram Band web site
the rhythm guitar player, joe, was my bass teacher for about a year, and guitar teacher for a few months. the bass players mom is a good family friend, so i got to get into some concerts for free, even though i was underage, and i got to sit in on a practise session.
but brian is the best local guitar player ive ever heard, the band makes some pretty good rock music, but if you can catch them in a blues bar, you will get their best. if you live in southern michigan you should check 'em out

Ephraim Zenh is from Ankeny, IA. They're kinda a mix of Led Zep and Soundgarden. Their bassist is one of my favorites in the area and he's always got me GASing for his Azureglo Ric 4003.

He's a singer-songwriter so he plays most gigs w/o a band. I like his lyrics. http://www.corybranan.com/

I used to play with against Chew (the bassist) in high school basketball and with him in summer league baseball. He is one helluva nice guy, and deserves recognition as a great groove bassist. Nothing flashy, but he lays it down.

Occasionally I kick myself in the ass for that when I remember to.
