[QUOTE=ssteiling]I live in Hong Kong now, and I can vouch for its barreness. However, I have a buddy who lives in Southampton who makes some pretty decent music. I don't know how big either his solo show (A Lily) or his band (Yndi Halda) are there, since I normally live in the States and have never been to your fine town personally.[/QUOTE]


Can't say I've heard of either, but I'll be sure to look out for them!

[QUOTE=rubbishwithnames]I may be wrong, but I have a feeling Pink Floyd are from Cambridge...

I grew up in Hong Kong, who have absolutely no one anyone here will know... Except apart from William Hung....:lol:

I now live in Southampton, another musically barren zone...[/QUOTE]

Ohio has produced some horrible bands (Relient K, Hawthorne Heights).

:(

JonM 10-22-2005 08:56 AM

Outkast, Cee-lo, R.E.M., Ray Charles, Blind Willie McTell, Otis Redding.

I did Georgia, not Rhode Island, because Georgia may suck to live in, but it definitely [i]ROCKS[/i].

Electrocution 10-22-2005 11:02 AM

The Roots are from Pennsylvania.

Bukowski 10-22-2005 11:06 AM

Scotland: Jesus and Mary Chain, or Belle and Sebastien

Capdown are the best live band though.

HitHardDrums55 10-22-2005 11:29 AM

Scapegoat...theyre pretty sick, probably will make it pretty big soon

Cal_on_drums 10-22-2005 11:29 AM

London-
[B]Jimi Hendrix Experience.[/B]

EonBlueApcolyps 10-22-2005 11:44 AM

Pixies, Piebald, Big D and the Kids Table, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

dr._feelgood 10-22-2005 11:48 AM

Hmmm... The Ramones would have to be my favorite New York band.

Danzo 10-22-2005 11:57 AM

You can't have that, Hendrix wasn't British.

Cal_on_drums 10-22-2005 12:14 PM

[QUOTE=Danzo]You can't have that, Hendrix wasn't British.[/QUOTE]

They were a [I]band[/I] that started in London and 2 of the 3 members were British. All their first gigs were here in London and they lived here and they're managment and record labe;l was too British,

Hence The Jimi Hendrix Experience was from London.

Hmmm, I still think they're American because it IS Hendrix.

No. We have the JHE!

CarnageFairy 10-22-2005 01:47 PM

Good Charlotte 4 lyfe!

Eh. I'm not too sure of any bands that came from around here. The Dismemberment Plan started in DC, so I guess that counts.

HitHardDrums55 10-22-2005 01:50 PM

hendrix moved to london to get his band, therefore they started in london...so london gets the jimi hendrix experience, even though jimi hendrix himself was BORN in america...
