Probably the wrong place to put this thread (feel free to tell me where to put it!). I'm playing a show next Friday night in Pittsburgh at Schenley Plaza. It's free, it's all ages, and if your thing is well-crafted pop songs (a la Posies, Matthew Sweet, REM, Fountains of Wayne) this show is for YOU. The band is called Winterpills. It's one of the best bands out of Massachusetts. I know you hate the Pats, but give this band a chance: amazing vocals, a tight band, and a bassist who has great equipment Hope someone sees this and says hi!
there's a thread called the Pittsburgh bassists club, a lot more locals are in that thread http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f28/pittsburgh-bassist-club-404105/ ....and I would check your gig out, but I'm playing at RPM's next Friday.
