1. I would be surprised if the Thermals ever play Sasquatch. Too punk. 2. Those who continue to use out of spite are similar to those who wear a fanny pack because it is convenient. 3. This contest needs rules, bad. Since JustinW owns the first post, you now own the rules. This would be my free advice, you get what you pay for. 3a. Set a limit of bands you predict (I can pick 458 bands, and beat one who picks 12) 3b. Set a date when the contest ends (a month before the lineup is announced would be about right, since we're talking about it now, and all the confirmations rolling in a month prior to the lineup will dilute the actual predictions. 3c. Everyone can delete their initial guesses, or edit them up until the deadline. 3d. is pretty cool, so I hear. 3f. Possibly a point scale, three for the ten bands you are most certain will attend, two for the next ten, and one for the next ten? Might be too complicated though. 4. Have fun.

wa wa we wa. king in the castle king in the castle.
uhhh. well i think those rules look pretty good. very nice outline. I'm just going to say 50 bands max. and yeah being able to change them would be good, considering I feel pretty stupid picking the marleys. blah blah blah

Despite the fact that The Thermals haven't been "punk" for about 4 years, Sasquatch had Cymbals Eat Guitars, Japandroids, and No Age last year, Gaslight, Murder City Devils, and Gogol Bordello in 09. While not all punk bands, all of them are more abrasive and punkish than what the thermals are now.

Also Mars Volta... While not a punk band, they really really suck.

Or some Dethklok dude. I can't really even listen to that kind of music but I love to hear Brendon Small shred.

this is laughable. but i admit, they have some shitty shows.
however, if the volta grabs deantoni parks it would be worth it just to see him drum. this is an omar work in progress and the drumming should make you wet.

You are right, I'm probably overestimating how "punk" the Thermals are. If I had to choose which genre they belong in, I would say Post-Punk. I wouldn't apply the punk label to any of the other bands you mentioned, outside of Gogol, who are 90% Gypsy, and festival whores. Punk to me has as much to do with the style of the lead singer as the style of the backing band. Difference of opinion.

Are you saying you just like their old stuff better? I mean, it's always basically been Hutch & Kathy. Or are you saying their new drummer sucks?

How did we all forget so quickly about Bad Brains? That's seminal punk. Punk is not out in anyway. I think there will always be at least one punk bank in the lineup.

I'm saying the self-titled album they released as Hutch & Kathy is a million times better than anything the Thermals have done. Also that genre classifications with hyphens are ass-tastic.
And I'm definitely saying that the Mars Volta can eat goat shit. That is hands down the worst performance I've ever seen in my entire life.

Okay, I was just saying that their music has always been Hutch & Kathy, and their new drummer sucks. I've met a handful of musicians in my day, and it's never been as a starstruck autograph seeker, but virtually all of them have been the nicest people. Granted none of them are pretentious superstars (yet), so it behooves them to be nice.
The new drummer for the Thermals on the other hand was a total prick. Shoot, Kathy almost ran me over at a local show recently, and she was as sweet as can be (I'm convinced there is not a negative bone in her body). It makes no sense for an extra to have their head in the clouds.

How was he a prick? (Just curious.) I feel like I said something and he was pretty nice. Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly though.

I agree with gramma. I almost respected mars volta, until they went and proved me completely otherwise. definetely top ten worst shows of my life. and I've seen my fair share of reeeeealllly shitty shows.
