“Speaking of very good 90s college rock, Lame Drivers are an interesting band. \u00c2\u00a0No doubt, they are good. \u00c2\u00a0Their live show is tight, concise, and would make Robert Pollard smile. \u00c2\u00a0They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been around on the scene for so long, I really feel that they have not received the recognition they deserve from the Internet<\/strong> music world at large. \u00c2\u00a0It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s almost as if they came along ten years too late. \u00c2\u00a0I can only imagine that if this were 1995 they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d have a pretty big record deal and be getting interviewed by Matt Pinfield on MTV. \u00c2\u00a0But they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not. \u00c2\u00a0Did anyone watch the new Fred Armisen sketch show, Portlandia? \u00c2\u00a0It opens with a hilarious sketch about a place where the 90s are still alive: Portland. \u00c2\u00a0That sketch is EXACTLY how Lame Drivers feels to me. \u00c2\u00a0It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a subtle change in how cool is perceived since then that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s difficult to articulate, but Armisen hits the nail on the head.” (New York Rock Market)<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks for the kind words, Internet music blog<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0and more importantly thanks for documenting the show we put together at The Delancey last Thursday Jan 13th! We booked it from scratch just like last time<\/a>, so we once again got to see + hear some of our favorite music acts: Eola<\/a> (Edwin of Tonstartssbandht<\/a>), Harpoon Forever<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0(thanks for letting me borrow your guitar, Alex!), Cool World<\/a>, plus killa DJ sets by Rock N Roll James (Violet Times)<\/a> + DJ The-Glide (Friendship Bracelet)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite the fun times and free vodka… but let us NEVER FORGET<\/strong> how the show ended: with VIOLENCE<\/strong> when our gracefully moshing friend Jared was thrown out and beaten by a security guard!<\/p>\n
