I've been thinking about this lately since we have such a wealth of musical talent in the area. If you could have any combination of local acts to play a show at a venue of your choosing, which acts would you pick and where would they play? And, if you could make a band consisting of individuals from local bands, who would be in your ideal band? The Privates are kind of ahead of this idea.

show...De Novo Dahl, The Mattoid, and The Privates at the Sutler in Nashville. Yeah, no Features. The Sutler is too small. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this show.

fantasy band...Derek from DND on vocals and guitar, Ben Patton on bass, William Tyler - guitar, Joey from DND on the drumset (I guess...), and Loney Hutchins on synth. I honestly think that the Privates are the best concoction that I could come up with.

Great topic, RD!! I was totally thinking along these lines just the other day. Here's one of many scenarios:

Venue: The Red Rose (before "the man" took over)
Lineup: Imaginary Baseball League, Forget Cassettes, and Slack

IBL starts off the show with a lite 30 minute set on the porch, giving Doni sufficient time to set up his drums inside. Forget Cassettes kick it up a notch with an interruption-free set (also 30 minutes), including a Black Sabbath cover. Slack shows us how its done for about 45 minutes with a set that starts with This Had Better Be Good and ends with All Along.

Of course, I'm on the guestlist and there's only about 30 of my closest friends there plus about 10 hot single legal chicks that all want to do me. After the show, there's a party at Ben*Slack's house where he and I end up watching anime... and maybe making out just a little bit.

Venue: Exit/In
Lineup: Popular Genius, De Novo Dahl, The Features.

Popular Genius could bring about super poppy pop. De Novo Dahl is a nice bridge between them and the features. Plus i havent had the oppurtunity to see DND in ages, sadly.

Oh, I like Superflks's show! Of course my ideal local show would be one where The Features and De Novo Dahl play together (Have they ever? It would be awesome!), and I was trying to think of who would be a good opener. And Popular Genius would fit that slot perfectly.

I guess I'd prefer Blue Sky Court, but it probably wouldn't be big enough for that show.

De Novo Dahl opened for the Features on Friday, December 13, 2002. It was the same night as my graduation. And yes, it was awesome. I snagged a GIANT poster advertising that show, and it is awesome as well

thanks! you are totally invited to my show.
have you ever come out and seen popular genius before? they are one of nashville's best secrets definately.

Blue Sky Court would probably be a little small yeah...but i think the sound at the Exit/In is pretty much identical to Blue Sky.

the first time i ever saw de novo dahl was with the features, character, and my tyger at exit/in last april (a year and a half ago)! i was like, "who are those crazy people up on stage??"..... never thought i'd be seeing them over and over and over from then on! i don't remember what their costumes were, but mark says serai was dressed up like a man or something... i'm not sure...

Good call; I had forgotten about that show. I think it was in April of 2002. That was my first time to see DND too.

yeah that probably wouldve been a great show if it werent for some asshole dude in the middle of his midlife crisis trying to impress some skanks. The fucker walked up to me and pushes a beer in my hand and told me to hold this a second and as soon as he handed it to me i put it down.
The asshat bouncer at the exit/in came up to me and asked me to leave and i tried explaining it to him and he just forced me out, all the while the fucking dude was laughing it up at the bar. i was only 20 at the time so i guess you arent even allowed to hold a beer for 2.5 seconds.

Moral of the story: the bouncer at the Exit/In sucks.

Thats an excellent thread to go back and re-read......always some fight or drama on every thread.

i just cant believe that someones member name was actually "gottaluvrollum."

The ideal show would be to have Seth Timbs, Ben Patton, Sam Baker, and some guitar guy play at YaDaDaDa's apartment.

i'd say the privates have it perfect.... a group of 4 of the most humble guys you'll ever meet, who are all rock gods

i wish jamiecarroll played tambourine.

Except that Rollum and Keith guy... what beligerant asses.

(Edited by Peace Frog at 1:37 pm on Nov. 21, 2003)

true, true. substitute jamiecarroll for keith then.

keith gets tambourine duty.

Yeah, that explains the feelings of deja vu I've been feeling lately

I've seen them a couple of times, and really liked them.

My "Nashville local" concert would be The Features opening for The Features. Set one would be an all-request set, set two would be a normal set, with encore. I know this is unoriginal, but I missed these recent shows and have fallen out with most Nashville bands (or they've fallen out with Nashville and moved away).

Will

You had great choices until the drummer...that guys is average at best, and he is an asshole...

Homophobe.

Yep. AND he knows how to use that thing. Mmm. It is so sweet.

Oh. you said...IS an asshole.....um, nevermind.

Boy it just wasn't funny at all the second time.

Double Post.

?????????????

Do I really have to spell it out?

I was saying that you only hate him because he is a homosexual (which he's not really-- I don't think).

I want to see more "dream concerts". Come on people-- it's fun!

(Edited by carligula at 1:33 am on Nov. 23, 2003)

I'd love to see another Joe Marc's Brother/Features show, this time getting full 60-80 minute sets from each.

I would like to see White Zombie get back together and open up for AC/DC at the exit in. How's that for a local dream concert? Oh, and I would like for it to cost $5, like all the exit in shows used to cost before they got new management.

The Privates
De Novo Dahl
The Features

Matt Pelham - guitar/vocals
Bobby Bare Jr. - guitar/vocals
Don Sergio - drums/vocals
Parrish Yaw - keys
Senator Pappas - bass

Covering Pink Floyds album "Animals" followed by Fleetwood Macs album "Tusk"

An all day event starting with a little punk rock from On Command, then the Lone Official, then JMB, then Lambchop, then back to the rock with Ass Chapel, then the Features. All your needs fulfilled in one late afternoon/evening. If anyone backs out de Novo Dahl would be the 1st replacement.

i would like to see the hotpipes and the features.
or the hotpipes then the privates.
those would be fun shows.

The Features
Green Rode Shotgun
IBL
De Novo Dahl (i've never seen them but this would be a good reason for me to)

Add Verde to that, and it would be my list.

Do I know you, MissSeptember?

Well, she is a Verde fan. That should narrow it down considerably.

ouch.

HAHAHAHA

ok

hotpipes
DND
the features

OR

the privates
hotpipes
features or DND (if rollum can handle it)

No, I don't think so.

And I like Verde.....

Don't worry Carl, I was setting you up for that one.

i like featuresgirl's idea of having two options (because i'm indecisive):

the privates (30 min. set)
character (45 min. set)
features

or

lucky guns (5 song set, none of the slow junk)
IBL (5 song set)
de novo dahl (45 min. set)
features

I like this one, especially the Lucky Guns criteria, but I would take a little off the top of DND's set and give it to IBL.

come on people.
glossary opener.
slack mid.
the features headline.
then and all out noise fest when everybodys tanked. even matt and parrish.

tan as fuck
the privates
dave cloud
the features

oh and
no matter what happens

forget cassettes still suck

Oh, you forgot to mention that part about last night.

February 13th, I think

That is correct.

You want it, you got it!

im not too sure about this "mattoid." i think i heard a song of theirs?/his? on vanderbilt radio and thinking it sounds so bad its laughable but hopefully that was a different band.

im looking foward to the concert nonetheless. its been too long, de novo dahl and i finally get to see the privates for the first time. excellent.

(Edited by Superflks at 11:11 am on Dec. 30, 2003)

Nope. That was it. Some people get it. Other people suck.


I remember the first time I saw the privates was in the back of my mom's Honda after the winter dance in high school.

well i guess it was laughably bad. so its not just plain bad. that would be bad.

and that privates joke just doesnt get old. ever. never ever ever. never. never ever.

Merry Christmas.

I didn't know your mom could fit in the back of a Honda.

I think it's one of those Honda Elements.

alright, heres a band...

matt field - guitar (you'll know sometime soon, if RD gets his way)
keith - bass
girl from 'on command!" - drums
norris - keys, guitar
and some girl with a nancy sinatra voice - singing

I would double-down on this one

I don't do side projects.

i want to be in smee's dad's next band venture,

peacefrog, brianW, and daigle's girl band,

and my own art shit noise band.
