If you think having an actual gang running around being "prime" sure, it was prime for a few blind mice.

It had its trash, but it was a very genuine scene, even though it wasn't my cup of tea.

Pretty good recall dude:
quote:

Throughout 1988, Better Than Ezra began making a name for itself. With benign trickery, Griffin booked his new band’s debut performance at a Baton Rouge nightclub where he worked, slippinga bogus band name into an open slot in the venue’s show schedule. Luckily, Better Than Ezra was received well enough by the audience so that Griffin was not fired.

Who would agree that their free concert at Bon Fete in 98(?) was their best ever?


I went to the one in 1999 or 2000. I don't remember the year exactly but it was in the parking lot where the Shaw Center is now.

I'm planing to catch their BR concert next month. They have a lot of fun on stage and it's always a good time.
And the milfs are defiantly out in force.

The music acts from that time that I always caught were (1) Dash Riprock and (2) Troy Turner and Third Gear. Freddie (Cowboy Mouth) was the Dash drummer back then.

Looks like both are still out there playing 27 years later.

Yep. They are still at it.

Barefoot Fred was sure missing no meals or second helpings when I saw him last year.

Can't remember what year it was but Fred's had Blues Traveler and Wide Spread Panic play on the same night.

I was shrooming my balls off.

remember having to write a 100 dollar deposit check everytime you got a keg from Northgate. Like that check wouldn't have bounced. I like how it was a five dollar difference between busch and the others but there was no way we were paying the extra 5.
