The Vinegar Sting was a great band too, I don't know what happened to those guys.

i think chad was in the unthinkables. we played with them at the mason jar, geez, maybe back in 99 when i was in a different band called "the monerans" with other dudes from springerville.

i think trent from VS is now playing guitar in haunted cologne, who are pretty awesome.

i miss the vinegar sting.

last i heard andy was playing in world class thugs. that still true?

[yami_wretch]

Trent now plays bass in Haunted Cologne.
Andy lives in Nebraska and isn't playing anything.
Chad has had some . . . troubles; been "in and out" as they say.

ahhaaha

Ok, so I was in the winners and Fatigo AND also stew played drums in life like hair, which links in Dan as well who is also in Fatigo.

somebody needs to draw a new tree.

fatigo an vin fiz might be special projects on their own, this work may need to be subcontracted to a 3rd world country.

Which brings me to the reason I started this post.
I'm looking for a fun summer installation to do at Trunk Space for July-August (or sometime around then), and thought this would be a blast, cover a whole wall with all this stuff--like the diagram Donald posted, but huge.
I figured theshizz would make a decent starting point since most everyone can trace a line back to it at one point or another.

I'm still working on the idea, but I thought we could do a donation thing, or find a sponsor, or sell merch or something to help make the site/us some funds?
I don't know 100% that it'll happen, but Steph seems open to it, but not convinced yet--I come up w/ a lot of hairbrained ideas, so don't hold it against her.

There's an artist I like who did creations like this, Mark Lombardi, and I think the music would is prime fodder for this sort of undertaking.
Also, I've never done any diagraming, I know there's rules, so expert help would be needed . . .

Does this sound like something the shizz would want to do at our place?

Lucys Fur Coat was from LA, i think. I remember seeing them with Fivespeed, before i was in the band, at Bostons, outside. I got my cock pierced earlier that day. I couldn't stand up that long...or sit much.

Scott White from Hammertoes was also in the Threads with Ryan Kennedy, and Drunken Immortals. Me was in HToes two.

There have always been a bunch of different "scenes" around here.

Further back than I would like to claim, the Mill Ave scene was overwhelmed with mostly "cover" bands. I was in a band called A Show of Hands (horrible name) that played at Edsels every Tuesday and Max's 919 every Sunday night - and Chuy's/Gibson's every once in a while. Rain Convention, Method U and a couple others all had these random players that have splintered off into everything from the Refreshments/Roger Clyne to The Chadwicks and Metalhead etc. A couple of my favorites back in those days were Lime Green and The Undertow (anyone? anyone?? ).

Last week I ran into Mike from Soulgrind (mentioned earlier). I was really flattered when he told me when he started playing in Vin Fiz, he wanted to start singing so he wouldn't have to learn those bass lines. I also ran into Nick from Roger Clyne's band the other day. Nick used to play in Gloritone and Rain Convention among some others....

When I moved back to the valley in the early 90's I played in a band called THC ( Buhler? Anyone?). My first weekend back my friends took me to see Brickchair and B Strange at the Mason Jar - Out of all of the "Tempe" bands, I really liked Dead Hot Workshop. A bit later on I thought Jesus Chrysler were really cool (before it got silly with people throwing beer on them during their sets) and Trunk Federation/ Seven Storey/ and Les Pain were all definitely the bees knees in my book.

Does anyone remember The Glory Revival, and The Beat Angels?

The On Seduction, Tres Tres Bien, Death of Marat

So many bands, I have heard mention of Tucson bands, has anyone brought up the Flagstaff bands?

[aaronburke]

the flagstaff bands chart would be a MESS!!!!!!!!!!!

i can help with the diagram thingy, at least plotting it, especially
if it's going to be time-sensitive. the only thing is, this thing could
be huge, bigger than four trunk spaces, so it really needs limits
and constraints. it needs a starting cutoff date and it needs some
limits on how far the members can branch off.

some things that could make the display interesting - small band
pics or album covers. and it should definitely be ported to the web
after or during

The Beat Angels first drummer (whose name I can't remember) sadly passed on. He was in a good band called The Telefones previously and was one of the best local drummers evah. Brian Smith (B.A. vocalist) moved to Detroit, he was previously in Gentleman After Dark but that was way before my time. Keith Jackson is in Glass Heroes circa now.
The Weird Lovemakers were awesome, they were part of the same scene as Earl's Family Bombers, The Fells & Safety Orange. If you check youtube, some thoughtful Tucsonians have posted awesome videoclips of some of those bands from back in the day. Going wayyy back The Sand Rubies are reformed and I got to see them and have a beer with them. Rich Hopkins is friggin' cool.
Flagstaff wise, I used to really like The Baskervilles, previously called Creature Feature. They're still around, I think.

[skeksis]

Hmmm... I was in some bands in Flagstaff, Tucson, and Phoenix over the past (roughly) 15 years. Mid-90's in Flag, late 90's in Tucson, and a couple projects this decade here in Phx/Tempe. SO I might be able to contribute to a comprehensive AZ chart... but I'll need help jogging my memory.

There was a rad band in Flag back-then called Degobah System... But one of my favs from that time was Black Fire (a Navajo-punk act that played basement shows downtown). Vaguely remember going to see Soul Cracker at a party in the woods where they ran the amps on a generator. That's well before they were a "san diego" band on Vh1... A guy in my band at the time helped teach the kid who became IHYWYP some guitar. Any of you with Flag ties know Josh Maust? awesome drummer beyond his years, but died before he was 20.

Anyway... this all reminds of a research methodology called social network analysis. Could draw up a heck of a 2-way graph if we could sort out this data.

[jeremy_arp]

Does anyone remember Last Option? Counterpunch?

Safehouse was rad… I think Eric had something to do with Silver Dollar/Three guys productions?

I remember seeing Chad from Vinegar Sting at the Art Cage playing in a band called the Phoenix Sons.

Here's my addition for a family tree—hope its shizz-worthy, but it was fun to write

Stymie: 1991, I played guitar for a band, with Daryl on drums (who later played/sang in Hupscratch, Daryl Scarer, The Power of Positive Thinking, Turn Back, O Man), Bryan on Bass (Chuck Taylor All Stars, Everlasting, Lemmings) and a couple other guys.

Damn, Arp... good one. Counterpunch had Jesse Everhardt, who went on to be in every single Phx band ever...among them: Blofiche (sp?), Horace Pinker, Safehouse, Seven Storey, Tickertape Parade... Don't forget about Richard Cranium in there with the Lyburnum folks, too...playing shows at the Eagle Transportation warehouse.

[donald]

some cool stuff here

I spoke with JRC and Steph lastnight and they have some cool ideas.

Great information so far!


Does anyone know if there are certain rules in how one puts this stuff together, kind of like how there is MLA and APA style formatting for text?
