I posted this on r/ripcity and got chewed out by a few members so I hesitated about posting it here. Glad someone else posted it for me! Love this band!

Friend turned me onto them. Part of a Portland proud rock history that includes The Kingman, Poison Idea, The Wipers, Big Daddy Meat Straw, Paul Revere And The Raiders, Sweaty Nipples, Everclear etc.

And yeah, Quarterflash was decent. I like Find Another Fool.

Modest Mouse, The Dandy Warhols, The Decemberists, Blitzen Trapper and Pink Martini all say, "hi".

Not to me they don't. JK, I would have Modest Mouse in there but I wasn't sure if they formed somewhere else and then moved here after they got signed. The Shins did that.

Well, technically so did Portugal. The Man.

Modest Mouse originally formed in Issaquah, WA.
