no salome, i think eld02 is right. no matter what years you were at A&M, the bombardment society was the best band this town has ever seen.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Wildfyre" (I think that's how they spelled it.) God, those guys sucked.


They (or at least their lead singer David) lived in the dorm with me. Huge tool. I think it's generally a safe assumption that you are going to suck when your lead singer is wearing jorts and a polo.

Once they were playing a free concert on campus and he opened their set by screaming "WE'RE GOING TO ROCK YOUR F***ING BALLS OFF!!" and then proceeded to spare us all to death.

I saw Chris Edwards from Sly Letter at a wedding this weekend and told him his old band came up in this thread. Evan he laughed at their band getting mentioned.

I told him the talent pool was pretty shallow in College Station and not to sell himself short.

How the hell is he these days? Know what he's up to?

Slie is playing with Deep Ella full time and just had a kid.

He seems to be doing well. He lives in Houston and is married to the girl from the old Candy 95.1 Billboards if you remember those

He told me what's he's doing now, but I was a bit loaded so I don't exactlu remember the whole conversation.

FYI...telling people you haven't talked to in years that you were talking about them on an internet chat board at a wedding reception will get you some strange looks initially.

You know Jay from Reckless Panhandlers? I would like to hear his stuff again...he would solo on open mike night, forgot the pub, but I caught up with him after a few years and told him I lost my only CD of theirs. He sold me one out in the back alley. It was funny because I figured they were long gone, but he still had CDs to sell.

Steve A - Well, I used to go to Cowhop and that semi Irish pub to watch you guys on the second floor. The guitar player you guys had...I used to talk with him an the other guys after shows because I guess I didn't do anything else but watch bands. He told me he was gonna teach me how to play guitar once. It was drunk talk and I still play like ****.

As for LFE, I saw them when I returned from the desert right after OIF 1. It was a great homecoming in Austin with an old friend who I used to watch the band with. We started out watching them at the cowhop when they first started out. Eventually, last we saw them was at Antone's in Austin.

I played with Jay for a while after Floor and the Panhandlers were done. He's a pretty cool guy, and a good musician. The guitar player for Floor was always drunk. It was like his creedo...

Who mentioned Kid Fantastic? Those are some fellow North Mesquite Boys...
