Great job, guys! Thank you so much for this! I don't do hero worship but I look up to Ian, and it's calming to hear him as an even-keeled presence. And a God damn national treasure!
So glad I found this, a former Santa Rosa resident here too. Fugazi is genius, and it's enthralling to hear stories from that time. And the Coriky album is really good and I wish they were touring. Saw the Evens here in Downtown Riverside a spell back, it was a great show and Amy and Ian were super cool and friendly to us and a good clap along sing along time was had by all. EDIT - you guys totally missed Ian's "tail" joke !! LOL
Hi guys. First listener. Same age and ethos. I grew up in Eastern Washington two hour south of Spokane and three east of Seattle. A midway point by way of Boise. Now I heard the Built To Spill drop and just had to lay it all out for you. I currently live in a van in the mission district but the town I grew up in is called TRI-CITIES. So for me FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK MY LIFE (it still hurts so bad) the show I missed in 1992 was Small(?), TREEPEOPLE, Fugazi. Not lying I’d give both at 44 to be able to go back and not work my shift at Little Caesar’s for $ 4.10 an hour just to go. Now I already went on a bit of a ‘91 rant today because thanks to Treepeople and Fugazi and Nate Mendel of Diddley Squat, Sunny Day Real Estate(my first show being theirs too),Foo Fighters I grew up in arguably the best less than 100,000 population scene one could ever dream of. And I would like to share some of that history with like minded individuals. I guarantee I can turn you onto the best music you’ve ever heard in your life that has five likes. Now I’m going to have to assume that you are familiar with the treepeople. But if you are not boy are you guys in for the treat of your lives I mean this band toured from both Boise to Seattle stopping in my hometown to inspire the fuck out of some 30 to 50 kids. So I hope u don’t mind too much since there’s only 15 contributors if I use the space to been a few years as my gratitude for you all bending mine. Another aspect of my hometown that made the scene so great is the Seattle bands that would come Out to play to work on chops to build confidence to be adored bye hordes of 15-year-old acid heads. As a matter fact the Foo Fighters very first show is supposed to be there but it got canceled. Now I’d like to expose you guys to some of the local scene. I’m sure you will pick up on the obvious discord influence not only in the style of music but also in the practice of our politic all tho self admittedly I’ve been a junkie my whole life and the few sober nights I ever had where Fugazi shows because I’m not your average junkie I’m fucking loyal as fuck. I’m sure you will pick up on the obvious discord influence not only in the style of music but also in the practice of our politic all those self admittedly I’ve been a junkie my whole life and the few sober nights I ever had where Fugazi’s shows because I’m not your average junkie I’m fucking loyal and sentimental as fuck. And thanks for Fugazi I believe in having a structured belief system that I don’t break it’s what has kept me alive all these years. Thank You sooooooo much. So earlier today I ran across this video and this topic (1991 Seattle influenced music Presented bye the main stream memory of Rick Beato) as you might understand especially even the fucking word that starts with a G just kind of drives me insane and having grown up through the entire experience I got to experience the real deal. For instance in my eyes the real Nirvana was a band called Unwound. On the kill Rockstars label I believe this is the band Nirvana always wanted to be like as far as talent influence and success now again if you’ve not heard of this band you must seek out. Their progress was absolute in the final album they did On the kill Rockstars label I believe this is the band Nirvana always wanted to be like as far as talent influence and success now again if you’ve not heard of this band you must seek out. Their progress was absolute in the final album they didMay be the best starting point in your case or perhaps a compilation called Rat Conspiracy. www.discogs.com/Treepeople-Guilt-Regret-Embarrassment/release/1860769 www.discogs.com/artist/65880-Unwound www.discogs.com/artist/3194784-Small-10 OMG!

I grew up on 90s bands and some how missed Treepeople. I listened to their first 7” online after reading your comment. It really is awesome gave me the same feeling I had when I first heard stuff like Lync, Evergreen, etc etc. Gonna listen to more of their tunes later, great stuff. I’m shocked I never knew about this pre Built to Spill brilliance.
