whoever that black band is they basically look like Funkadelic

Quite a fetching open-front blouse that young lad is wearing.

Also I'm in love with the dead-straight glossy hair with bangs look. Like Bruce Dickinson in his first Iron Maiden years. Dudes should be in shampoo commmercials.

yikes! Dude is holding a decapitated head!

wow...

This thread just keeps on giving! The Riot Squad pic looks the band LEAST likely to cause rioting of any type. "8 Track tape available on this group!"

what's with the David Crosby like-a-look in Hunger

Ha, that does look like Crosby!

One of the bands way upthread, Chewawa Allstar, have a Youtube video! Wonder how many others do?

The perspective is throwing me off here.

Want to hear Gritz.

Want to hear Gritz.

A documentary about their only single!:
http://www.bayoucountrymovie.com/trailer1.html

You can hear the whole song here - http://thankscity.com/jams/taco/27_Track_27.m4a

Pretty decent!

Kind of want to see the movie based on that trailer.

Wow! Thx dudes, this is a jam.

Haha... got about 2 minutes into that song (which is kinda cool) when suddenly had one of those weird realizations that I'd somehow gone from checking airplane tickets to listening to Gritz in the span of about 5 minutes. wtf internet

Lolled hard enough at Mildstone to Google them. The three on the right are brothers.

re: tumbleweed

was it common in the 70s for bands to have both a manager and a warthole?

hmmm, I rather like the name Mildstone. They sound like they'd drop some laid back grooves.

Haghill looks like they could throw down some Crazy Horse jams.

xpost -- They would, only Mr. Shirtless would try and push his chest into your face while doing so.

lol Mildstone.

Hunt's Determination Band (postet 6 November) is a pretty great name otoh.
