This is our first official gig. I promise you won't be disappointed if you like big, dumb, really loud music.

1. Awesome! I wish I could go.

2. Hey!

Sounds good. Can't wait to meet some DUers in person...

My band, MegaSuperUltra, should start playing shows pretty soon, too. Can you believe it? I found a band long before I found a job. Four weeks since I moved to Chicago, and we're already looking to book some shows....Go figgah!

Plus, we sound like early XTC.....(drool, drool.....) And I know you like XTC!

[XNASA]

3. Wow. I wish we sounded more like XTC.

We're still kind of searching for our sound. But we're making progress.

4. Actually, we're a little closer to "Setting Sons"-era Jam, but...

Still got a little "Drums and Wires" in our sound. I joined my dream band!

So, what DO you guys sound like? You said "big loud rock music" before, right? Well, shit, I like that too....Just as long as it's not electronica or country, I'm okay with it....

5. Checkout our website...

There's 3 songs you can listen to.

I wish we were more steeped in English-style rock. To be in a band that sounds like "Setting Sons" era Jam sounds great.

We're more greasy. More like Cheap Trick on a bad night.

We're a little hard to pin down, at least for me. We don't really play like anybody I've heard. We're pretty bombastic. And quite loud.

9. When I moved to Chicago 5 years ago

I was in a band months before I found a job, too. Just goes to show where my priorities lie sometimes!

My main band (Knife of Simpson) sounds like Black Sabbath, if they came from Birmingham AL instead of England. Southern-fried boogie, but with Jello-type lyrics.

Cool, I didn't know there were any musicians moving here anymore! Let me know when you get some shows, I'll definitely be there.

P.S. Nice Bob avatar, too.

[XNASA]
