Yo La Tengo: unless James McNew gets a little too noisy. I love their chemistry, professionalism, and experimentalism (when it's good).
DeVotchKa: This group is more than just the soundtrack to Little Miss Sunshine. Talented musicians who exibit real passion with a touch of humor.
Hot IQs: 3-piece band with huge appeal, big energy, and the sexiest female drummer I've ever seen (plus she rocks). If there's justice, this band will be huge.
Luna: Unfortunately they've disbanded, but probably the best live band I've ever seen.
John Vanderslice: It is immediately apparent that John and his band have an incredible work ethic and are devoted to the practice room.
Rules for going to see bands: 1)never expect a good show in an arena, stadium, or other venue that holds more than a few hundred peopple. 2)go with friends who like the band or live music in general. Never drag along someone who's not interested. You'll just feel uncomfortable. 3)Drink. It's rock n' roll for god's sake.
