Who? Haha, well I bet you know some of the members or their respective bands that became popular in the coming years. Notable members include Cole Alexander, Jack Hines, and Ben Eberbaugh of the Black Lips and Spooks as well as Coline Mee of Deerhunter, amongst others. Naturally, line up changes have occured in those groups and those do not represent the current line ups for either band, but all of those dudes made notable contributions to the aforementioned classic Atlanta bands.

BOTW: Big Mess!
Hey y’all tis a beautiful day in the neighborhood because our prestigious Band of the Week is none other than Lowell’s finest, Big Mess. I’ve seen these guys a few times now and every time they have been outstanding. They are an all instrumental band (at least live), with some great guitar hooks. The drums are truly a powerhouse. All in all, an excellent sonic experience. Check them out!
Fat History Month- “Old Lady Smokers”
This might be my favorite Fat History Month song right now. Check these dudes out!

BOTW: Maine Coons
Yessir indeed, the one and only Maine Coons! Everywhere I go (music related) I drop my two favorite cum punk bands Cumstain and the Maine Coons. The Maine Coons is one man insane pop mastermind, Dave Spent. Good work Dave! MC is one of the finest bands roaming the planet right now, and I don’t toss around those words lightly. Seriously catchy jams of the Black Lips, King Khan & BBQ Show, Nobunny, Beets, Fat History Month variety. I cannot emphasize anymore how awesome this band is. Check out “My Kinda Luv,” “Hey Dickhead,” “Ghetto Queen,” ” I Am a Motherfucker,”- you know what just check out the whole Maine Coons LP from last year. Here is a mini review I did, placing the record in my top ten for twenty ten: https://klyam.com/2010/12/07/chriss-top-ten-of-twenty-ten/
Tell two friends about the Maine Coons and tell them to tell two friends and eventually the world will live as one or we will all end up killing each other and sleeping with our cousins, it could go either way. But, don’t you want to be one of those cool kids that can brag to your friends that you knew this band before it was cool!
Black Lips- “She’s Not White” (2003)
Just heard this fine diddy for the first time. Mmmm good old fashioned punk slimy youth.

Thanks to Bernie [Melody Matters] for filming this and G. Delrossi for posting this on facebook; indeed he is a G.
Music Vid of the Day: Do You Remember RNR Radio?
One of the best Ramones songs/videos. The Ramones were/are the greatest, like the halfway point in Rock and Roll- they represented and still represent the past (Early Rock and Roll pre 70s/late 60s even), the Present (the 70s, present for them anyway) and the future (today), everything that came before and would come next. Completely derivative, but also cutting edge. Fucking love it. If you don’t like it, then you are on glue! Nuff said.
Alright, alright, I’ll take it easy on my Hunx references
Concert Review: Those Darlins, Movers and Shakers, Atlantic Thrills @ Mid East Downstairs (10/15/11)
*This photo is not of the Middle East*
Artists: Those Darlins, Movers and Shakers (we missed :( ), Atlantic Thrills
Date: Saturday, October 15, 2011
Venue: Middle East Downstairs (Cambridge, MA)
Comments:
Act I: Atlantic Thrills– Atlantic Skillz is kind of like what would happen if the Black Lips were a twelve year old kid caught masturbating by their shady uncle Los Saicos and were forced to sing and dance for a half hour. I’m not sure how that makes any sense whatsover, but in more common terms you could say these guys have that nice Punk Slime flavor of garage rock found in the Lips music amongst other practicioners of said style. Just fun, rock and roll you can dance and drink along to- I mean what kind of rock and roll can you not do that to? Well, if you can, then you don’t like rock and roll and I don’t like you, but that’s another whole can o’ worms. The Thrills set some nice vibes for the evening and “Acid Rain,” everyone’s fave was a particular stand out; got me all revved up and ready to go. And when that happens, you know to move back about five feet or else*…
Act II (That KLYAM saw): Those Darlins– Those Darlins have been a favorite of mine for about two years now; a band I often recommend to those kids lurking around, asking for “new” or “good” music. Apparently, they have yet to discover the internet, but that is okay. That’s what I was put here for, to spread my love. The Darlins put on a great, rockin show per usual- well at least in my experience, they have been a fun, live band; I saw them last year at T.T the Bears. That was a cool show, but I’d say they rocked even harder this time around and the PA at the Middle East was/is superior, so that definitely amplified the greatness. The set consisted of tunes from both their studio albums, Those Darlins (2009) and Screws Get Loose (2011). I prefer the former, and “Red Light Love,” “The Whole Damn Thing,” and “Wild One,” got me real excited as they always do, definitely some of their finest songs to date. I really dug their encore (I noted this the last time I saw them) which featured some sick classics including “Night Jogger” and “Funstix Party.” FP is a Darlins fave of mine for sure, it sorta reminds me of King Khan & BBQ at their raunchiest. In any case, it was a fun show, so if Those Darlins are stopping by your town, GO AND SEE THEM!
Grade : 7/10
Here’s the relatively new music video for “Scews Get Loose”:
