I pretty much can't name any of these bands or any songs they have. A couple bands that were popular in the grunge-ish era of the early 90's like candlebox and gin blossoms. Surprised there is no violent femmes as per 06 and 07.

Whatever I'll still be there any sunny thursday drinking beers then walking to chippewa. The problem with music acts is casinos are able to pay better bands more money in smaller venues because of the gambling money they make up for the loss of paying bigger acts. This obviously hurts outfits like TATS. Oh well, but never really gets good bands any way. And when they do, Tokyo Police Club, it sells out before I can even get in. Damn Soundlab mother fuckers. Whatever, as long as the canadians come and spend their loot err loonie
