Would have liked to see “Scissors for Lefty” performing once again in Miami.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m fairly excited about seeing Fountains of Wayne in Boston and Blues Traveler in Chicago.

What kind of genre are they, DB?

Sorry I am a Jazz head and live mostly under that musical rock.

FoW are a rock band. Blues Traveler do blues for the most part, but fairly upbeat-safe-for-the-radio stuff. And John Popper, the lead guy of BT, plays a mean mouth harp!

Vertical Who? I’ve heard of the rest of these bands but, meaning no disrespect, who the heck is Vertical Horizon? I would have expected them to have nailed a bigger-named act for LA, especially considering their music scene!

BTW, thanks for the Scissors For Lefty plug, I’m friends with Steve and Brian and I know they absolutely love the fan support they’ve been getting!

Oh my. These look like the sort of bands that would play at the 4th of July festival the suburb I live in puts on each year. Actually, these bands have played at my suburb’s 4th of July festival. You’d think BMW would have the clout to get acts not so … irrelevant.

Funny, I was just thinking that I wish Chicago got Vertical Horizon. Seems the age differences are showing underneath our MINI armors.

Yeah… what Shamus said…

Total let down. Personally, I know at 10 bands that could rock MTTS-LA harder. I mean, appeal to a widespread demographic (Yes, I’m still going anyway, but with my iPod and headphones).

Shamus, please send Brian and Steve and the rest of those guys my regards. I saw them on stage in Miami and then in Orlando last year when they were the opening band for Erasure.

Scissors for Lefty is a band that plays with an incredible amount of energy… a total class act!

Look forward to see them again in the future.
