Gordo Hey I've seen all of those bands and the members change with the names... I saw them at Thrusdays about a month ago and the have some bass player from the Vic Youth symphony, some metal gutiar player,and part of the horn section from SkanikBoom!

I'm gonna go out on a limb that they're getting all the gigs by sending in a demo and requesting them. Thats the general way you get a gig is it not? - Thu, 17 Oct 2002 12:12am

Kickit Prozy Luva, the Sweetgrass Grrrlz want you to know, the only time they get sticky is when rude boyz spill things on the dance floor and they have to walk through it to get to the stage. Shameless maybe but sticky.....I don't think so. - Fri, 18 Oct 2002 3:00pm
kingbong Now now no fighting kids....everybody gets an opinion..
The sweet grass girls get me sticky and.prozy I'd come to your show...if you have one......some bitter goth or Emo thing would be my guess or perhaps your a DJ....whatever there is room for all.

Gordo I saw this band last night and I tell you a couple of things. 1. This is not a ska band & 2. They are really tight.
This band is kinda a little bit of a lot of things, a little funky, a little ska, a little heavy, and really groovy...very cross over.
I had fun and the crowd (about 40) seemed to get off on it. They have a hilarious song about growing weed.
Worth the $4 bux, and Kickshaw was really cool, they are a cross between T-hip and Davde Mathews. Very groovy and folky .
Overall a very intersting night I'm looking forward to the 24th.

Kickit The Sweetgrass Girls always try to play nice but their palace guard sometimes takes his job too seriously. It seems he's been posting without proper authority. We have upped his medication and needless to say the next time we leave him at home we will hide ALL the Dr.Pepper. - Sat, 19 Oct 2002 8:46pm
sweet grace Bands evolve, names and members change. Isn't that a good thing? If you wanna shake your ass and sip on some beverages then come on down to Soundgarden and have some fun. Open up your mind and let King Bong satisfy you!!! - Mon, 21 Oct 2002 1:25pm
