The band that made me see my first local show was the Zen Lunatics, of their set I remember their best songs to be "Mack Truck Tracy" (my sister's name and an amazing 3 chord song), and a great Walrus beatle's cover. Both Chris Orf and Terry what's iz nose sang leads and Ric and Gil fed the groove. They were massive, they could get any show they wanted, they still show up at shows mostly at Yucca randomly, just to see if they like what's going on. BTW, what's going on?

Steph and JRC are preparing to set this up for a summer art showing at the trunk space. Not sure the details.
People don't give a shit, unless it affects them personally, this affects me personally!
Message board?
This is The Shizz.
Chromelodeon manages to get all the furniture from their hotel into the lake a few years back...and people are worried about shizzies?

-trunkspaceAll the time when I tell people what I do they say, "Oh I don't understand art, I can't even draw." (or worse, "I only like art I can understand.") Well, ya know what, I don't know how to make a car, but I sure appreciate being able to drive one.

Oh gawd I would so love to set it up like that.
awesome.
I think the next step is to get some of the interested "designers" together at TS, and sort of organize the look and data.
Come to agreement on what elements to include from the get-go, and how to handle all the additions that we'll want to add over the course of the 2 months its all up.
We could get together some time early April, after First Friday some time, that week?
What wants to "wrestle this octopi?!

I scanned but saw no mention of a few bands I thought I'd add because they sorta begat yours truly. I'm 26 and have lived in Tempe all my life, so maybe I can fill a couple unique gaps.
Back in the mid-late 90's there was Dozer and Rondo Vega, both of which featured Ryan Richardson and Spencer Heck. Ryan Richardson went on to play in a band that performed in my dorm my freshman year of college at ASU, hahaha. Spencer ended up in a band with my brother, Drew Henschen in the late 90's, early 00's called Fatal Blowout. They played a number of shows at places like Modified (thus my first time there) and Nita's Hideaway.
I can remember them playing with the Apologies (from Tempe) because the Apologies had a female in the band and I thought that was cool.
Both bands also lived on the same street: 10th place near Casey Moore's. I know that Fatal Blowout also played with Swearing At Motorists (not from AZ) at some point as well as an early Brodie Foster Hubbard who turned out to be a mutual friend of my friend from college, Steven Reker (who I'm sure you know from Reindeer Tiger Team and, most recently, dancing for David Byrne).
Fatal Blowout changed their name to the Crucials, then split up when Ben and Spencer moved. Ben and Spencer currently reside in Chicago and are in a band called Busted Canoe.
I tracked unstable keyboard melodies with my brother in the Fatal Blowout house from time to time, which is when I came up with the name Jumbo Jr., which I would later use from 2005-2008 when I started actually playing music in front of an audience.
