Warm is such an awesome name for a 70s bar band.

God, when will the uniform thing ever come back?

We were having a meeting about a band that was really fashion-challenged, and I asked, "Is there any chance we could turn them into a uniform band?" There were literal gasps of horror.

I didnt realize Warm played at Woodstock.

yeah it's weird i looked up woodstock on wiki and the actual bill was so much different than what was depicted in the movie!

it's awesome that you also look like you could be a band from 1991, 2002, 2013...

data halls and oate (stevie), Tuesday, 18 June 2013 06:28 (ten years ago) link

haha, I was thinking that too! That could have been slipped into any press kit circa 2001-2005 and no one would have batted an eye.

Sad that Paul Rudolph's son doesn't know anything about his dad.

For a second I thought you were talking about the architect and my mind was about to be blown.

the grungy photo setting and lack of self-serious "we have come to ROCK you" posturing make it timeless

haha. the reprobate look will never die. that was outside our rehearsal space, which was the basement of a dry cleaners in a strip mall in hicksville long island.
