remix0r - I downloaded the Cheat's stuff ... it's pretty darn good. I love the 'local band' sound. I like when bands sound the way they want to sound rather than the way the record labels tell them to sound.
There is a band I love (in Michigan) called The Killer Flamingos. They have some orginal stuff (they do have a CD out) but their live shows is mostly 80's covers. I had a HUGE crush on Michelle (the lead singer). Man can that chick sing!! She's got a great voice!
Whirling Road (another Michigan band) was awesome. But they broke up because the lead singer was a jerk that nobody could get along with. I wish their site was still up 'cause these guys were awesome. I've got two of their songs available for dl if you're at all interested:
Whirling Road - Whispering the Words
Whirling Road - Die
Abruzi Drive was also awesome but, like Whirling Road, couldn't get along and broke up.
I still listen to their music on a very regular basis!
Also, funny story, I travel alot and one time (I can't for the life of me remember where I was (I think Boston)) but I saw Jason M'raz in some small venue. Just look at him now. I remember thinking (when I saw him) that he would make it someday. Same with Nora Jones, and the band Live.
