Moved back to NW in 1989- bad year if you don't like grunge (yeah, burn me at the stake, I am the one person in Seattle who doesn't give a shit about nirvana or pearl jam). But there was sooo much 60's inspired garage go go music, punk, and rockabilly going on that I went out 4-5 nights a week. I guess I hoped it would always stay that way, but it hasn't. I'm glad GIRL TROUBLE is still around, that the SONICS reunited, and that I had a tiny bit in this video dancing my ass off.
maaaaaan...there for awhile, there were TONS of bands like this coming thru Houston TX...now, we just get shit, SHIT! They tore down all our cool places and now it's a Douche Convention...BRING BACK ROCK DAMMIT!...I miss the early 90's, not the smell, but definately the sound
@TheRedHedCEO2011 -good rock is still around, you just need to go to a local club or record store to find it. It isn't on MTV/Vh1 anymore, and that's a damn good thing.
-Grew up in T-town...now in P-town, but I'll never forget the show girl trouble put on for my friend electra's birthday at the old central on 6th ave. good times! - ingrid
Living in Seattle, I heard everyone put down Tacoma. I later moved halfway between the two cities and after multiple trips I found downtown Tacoma and a lot of the older surrounding neighborhoods (not new suburbs) were far cooler than most of what Seattle has going on.
Ye gads. How many times have I seen the mighty GT? Well, over 25 years, that's for sure more than once. Who remembers Jimmy May and the 56th St. House? Who was at the Boxing Club show in '88? Northshore Surf Club, '91? Every other awesome set before or since? Who rocks harder than Tacoma's Finest?
Ah yes, lovely vintage footage of T-Town. Really have to live here to get this rotten place. Everyone I talk to that ain't from here says how shitty it is driving through, but they've never stopped, lol.
I lived in the Tacoma area for most of my life, and I still don't get it. It's not only shitty driving through it. It used to just be the smell from the paper mill... well that's pretty much gone now; the new problem is all the apartments and strip malls (and the crackheads/tweakers)... yuk!
haaaaaaaaay
