Justin, Lars, & Goo @ J.C. Dobbs 1995 --------------------------------------------------------- Lars & Justin @ Talking Doghouse 15.07.93 (thanks Jay!)
this thundering blast of indie-rock with transcendent female vocals
lived in Philadelphia (when they weren't away at school/overseas,
living in Washington D.C., San Francisco, etc.). they
were, from left to right:
Lars:
electric bass & vocals. (now in SFU-MA-TO et al)
Goo: vocal ecstacy, electric & acoustic guitar. (now goes by Catherine FEENY & plays in COME GATHER ROUND US)
Mike, then Scott, then Kyle: drums.
Justin: e. guitar.
LAMPshADe; formed during the summer of 1993. due to our academic careers, we only came together during the summer. click here for an account, a chart, an expression of their geographic meanderings. many passed through our ranks, including our first 2 drummers, Mike (later of MANTA RAY) and Scott (now of CARBON LEAF), and Jay on vocals. the last man overboard was Kyle, drummer extraordinaire, who left for greyer pastures, wreaking havoc on this very web in N.Y.C. thanks also go out to Eric BAJTELSMIT (vocals, chords, & jack daniels vomit, also of MANTA RAY), Rob VIOLA (drums), Mark POWELL of NICK L' NIP (drums), Casey JONES (e. guitar, of KAM FONG), and Pcarolyn (cello).

(we played as far North as Boston, as far South as Chapel Hill, as far East as Princeton, and as far West as Harrisburg).
the best comparison that i ever heard was to slint.
