Endless Possibilities of Repitition

The goal of this proposal is to investigate the resurgence of popularity of fun music that is played with guitars. There are more than a few bands in San Diego playing music suitable for parties, and more than a few times I have found the conversation turning to seminal or criminally underrated or exciting new things.

Here, the story goes something like this. This dude got older and left behind his tendencies for edgier rock/pop/punk to chase that authentic 60s sound with increased veracity. A club is dedicated to this cause. The kids have bands that accidentally play the rawest garage possible. The kids will never stop having bands like this. I enjoy it and catch a set by the exceedingly popular King Khan. I remember a few things fondly, mainly poutine related. I also recall the November 14th, 1997, possibly 1996 at the Gary Oak Sea Scout Hall and the band that follows. This was during a golden era of Vancouver music. A band had actually moved FROM Montreal TO Vancouver for some to be a part of it. I never saw them play, but I did later uncover this gem in the vaults of CiTR's Live at Radio Thunderbird Hell: The Spaceshits playing The Real Kids and inspiring stage banter for many years to come.


The Spaceshits - All Kindsa Girls

p.s.
Thanks to all those who bought 'Baseball in China' T shirts and helped with bills. Everyone start a band.
