I totally wish I was at Comfest right now. Someone needs to take video of at least TJSA.

[Doug]

There will be video. Probably from multiple people. I'll try and get a few songs....

[t---]

I'm headin down there in about 10 minutes.  I'd video TJSA but my video camera is in NY.

Me too, but then I'll get there and be like "FUCKING DIRTY HIPPIES!!  GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

I'm counting on TJSA and a funnel cake to make this worth my while.

Too bad the late great Col. band Stupid Fucking Hippie isn't playing Comfest. I believe their fab Stooges tribute song "River" from early '90s is still  up at Static Party. Look in the comments and you'll find "Bladder Nut" too. I'm not kidding they did this shit fi metal as well as anyone. They have cuts on some of those Col. comps too Shave the Baby, etc.

who was in that band?  the name doesn't sound at all familiar, which is weird cuz I feel like I've heard tons of Columbus comps and I think I'd remember if I'd run across Stupid FUcking Hippie.

Yes, you caught me. I made it up. My post was merely a cry for help. NO WAIT!!!

Ted Hatteymeyer bass, Wayne Lin drums, Steve Heink Vocal, Dave Sturges original guitar replaced by a guy named Ben who seemed to be an actual hippie!

Stupid Fuckin' Hippie "River"/"Meadow" (MindWalk Music/Eardrop)
Maybe it's just because of the title, but these tunes kinda remind me of Joe Walsh's "Meadows" - 'ceptin' I kinda like Joe's thing. Then they kinda swing into 70's hard rock territory with buried acid rock vocals and breaks. If I didn't know better, I'd think they were doin' the beginning of "Iron Man" (IIII aaammmm I-ron Man) in "River." The vocals on "Meadow" are a bit off and out there. The sound's better than most lo-fi though. - Joel (from Cringe, Col. webzine;  I don't have to tell you the staff do I?)

There's allegedly a video of TJSA's comfest performance at http://www.donewaiting.com/ but I'll be fucked if I can find it.

That was a kick ass show.

Bob Petric has some serious guns.

I agree, on both counts.  They played all the hits--"Bottle Island" "Cheater's Heaven" "Rump Government" "Turn it Up" etc. etc.  One of the highlights of TJSA's set was Bob's brother John's (well-known local record store owner/music writer/crank/asshole) swan dive into the crowd from the stage.  No one caught him.

[t---]

No one caught him.

That was funny.  It inspired me to tell my Iggy Pop story to few people. When I saw him he did the same thing and ended up breaking his collar bone or something. Had to end the show after the second song.

they were no blood family

[brocktune]

this is the most fucking amazing band i've ever heard.  thank you red wine. 

[brocktune]

there are moments in life that make you just laugh your ass off with an absurd edge, and this band is facilitating that for me tonight.

I'm fucking bored, man, so I'm bumping this thread, because I started it, man...
