I have this unreasonable rationale that all touring bands should be made up of people who have either left or split up from known bands.

Like when I saw REM , they had ex Revolting cocks drummer Bill Rieflin and they had Ken Stringfellow from The Posies on keyboards , and I was happy BECAUSE i'd heard of them.

Spoken like a guy that doesn't know indie. Name one band today that is good and is not considered indie.

I can do that. Radiohead. But still, indie is where it's at for the most part.

Any more of this pointless Indie vs Mainstream argument polluting my thread gets deleted on account of it being extremely boring.
