I became a regular at the Patio in 1973. At that time it was owned by Gordon Etchesen (now deceased). The first band I ever listened to there was NERO. Nero was a two man band consisting of Albert Bearman and Greg Gorogiani. Albert played 12 strin...

Awesome! Thanks so much Matt for getting these bands on the site, really filled some big holes from the 1990s Indy scene.

not to be a naysayer but this album has yet to impact me the way Ropechain did. I think once I get it on vinyl and live with it for a while it may grow on me.

Mike, did you see my post on blog.smallboxweb.com "What Happened to Ning?" Gina from Ning responded.

I agree with you on that Finn. Whenever I visit Chicago I leave at least 2-300 lighter in the wallet! I've been really impressed with the stores in Hyde Park on recent visits. Scored some rare Camper Van Beethoven records for very fair prices. Als...

I think the Record Store is making a real comeback. Visit Luna or Indy CD Vinyl here in Indy or TDs LPs and CDs and Landlocked in Bton and I think you see that the old school record store is alive and well!

Bill- I worked at the Karma above Dagwoods in Bton for about a year c.1995. I have to say by the time I got there the owner and manager had completely removed any trace of the early blues of post hard core stuff. Too bad but the store had pretty m...

a quick shout out to the guys at Landlocked in Bton. They have done an incredible job stocking an incredible selection of indie releases (meaning independent) from around the country and even the world. On top of that their prices are really reaso...

Hi Jeb, I am still in almost disbelief about Caleb. Can't believe it happen in April and I am just now discovering it!!!!!! I knew him from when he first moved into the playhouse and Victor was handling it.... I have some digital copies of some of his paintings. Thanks for blogging about him. I miss him. I missed him before I knew what happened... now I'll never get to see him again. Damnin!! Well, I am glad to meet you, wish it was different, but Caleb had his way about him. Jody

Thanks Jeb - I felt like stirring some shit.

I really want to see this site be vital . . . I think it's a pretty big deal. And when I read stuff like Vess's Les Paul appreciation, I know it is a big deal.

I'll do what I can.
