Seriously?
I’ve seen A LOT of local, all-original acts in the last several years in town. I can maybe agree with 3 or 4 of these on your list.
Get out more.
May 13th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
Care to name names, Oleander?

That comment is classic Mit.
May 13th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
If you were hanging out in Gulf Gate on Wednesday nights between 8-10 you would know some of the good bands in town.
May 13th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
These bands must be so good they don’t need names.
May 13th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
I am shocked–SHOCKED–that none of you comment-jockeys have mentioned Jesus Chrysler Supercar, Cats in the Basement, Harper Sublette, Maid Mosephine and the Equines or Tiny Ensemble!!
HAVE YOU EVER EVEN BEEN TO A SHOW IN SARASOTA, PEOPLE?!
