So good. Thanks for always bumping with some deep cuts. I recently learned that I lived on the same street and only a couple blocks north of the 2nd Simple Machines House/HQ location in Arlington. It’s been knocked down and replaced with two hideous modern homes.
Here’s another SM band I know you like. Their first “real” gig was opening for the Meat Puppets. How fucking cool is that?
cheers
@Uh Oh ...nothing like a little mid-week Simple Machines adoration to keep us honest...and can't ever get enough Scrawl.
edit: i meant to say, that's crazy about the SM house/HQ. my friends and i got to know Jenny Toomey and Kristin Thomson pretty well, from seeing Tsunami everytime they came to or near Detroit....a great time to see shows, because they were so small and intimate. actually, a little while after the fact, i bought some clothes for one of the skateshops i helped run around Detroit, from a little clothing thing Thomson was doing, so i had a bunch of funny phone conversations with her, lurking around the shop...random, i know, but what are you gonna do...
i'm pretty sure i mentioned them before (alas, i've been repeating myself a lot lately...getting old), but The Raymond Brake is another favorite from Simple Machines, that was easily missed...
