[ THE BEETS ]
The Beets hail from Queens, New York. They formed after Juan and Jose had an argument about whether Corey Haim copied Corey Feldman or whether Corey Feldman copied Corey Haim. After their friendship ended and they didn’t speak for two and a half years, Juan called Jose out of the blue and asked, “Wanna start a band?” Jose responded with an indifferent, “Yea…” They were originally a Sugar Ray cover band, but then decided to write and perform their own songs. They acquired the drumming skills of Anna, who was personally taught percussion by Louis Armstrong’s niece’s roommate’s drug dealer. Juan, Jose, and Anna meshed so well together that Jose’s mother said, “These guys should play Jose’s grandmother’s 85th birthday.” They played to an astounding reception and gave Jose’s grandmother a birthday to remember. After their first show was an instant success, they decided to play more shows for people like you reading this right now. Bask in the music of The Beets. Your parents will like them, too. Listen to their songs and feel free to see them when they play a show at your house.
[ THE HATE MOMS ]
Hey, so we’re The Hate Moms. It’s just me, Kyle and Mr. Steven (my pet rat). We just wanna write fun songs about fun stuff. It’s cool stuff you can dance and rock out to. We don’t care too much about talent or writing good songs. As long as it’s not annoying, we’re happy - many people assume our name “The Hate Moms” comes from our hatred for our moms. In actuality, we really love our moms - just to let you know, Mr. Steven is a girl - so why would I name my pet rat “Mr. Steven” if it’s a girl? Well, I had been wanting to get a pet rat and call it Mr. Steven for a while. So while in the processess of selecting a rat at the pet store, I was kind of disturbed by all of the male rat’s giant nuts and I really didn’t want their nuts rubbing on me. But the moment i saw Mr. Steven I had to have her, and the name stuck. Mr. Steven now fronts our band and plays the theremin - yeah, so we’re a pretty simple band. Keyboard. Drums. Vocals. Rat theremin. RAT ROCK!!!!!
Nick and Justin went to high school together really close to where the World Trade Center exploded. I forget why, but they decided they were Pall Mall and Jetpack like 6 months before it became a band. I think it was supposed to be like super hero alter egos. Or are Nick and Justin the alter egos? So, this one time, Nick did a shotgun, and said some stuff, then Justin started playing guitar and they were like “We should start a band!” A couple days later Matt heard about it and said “Yeah! I got a drum set why not?” About a year later Nick and Alex got pretty drunk and then Alex became the bass player even though he doesn’t own a bass. Now those totally cool dudes write songs and learn how to play them in Nicks basement. Sometimes they even play them for other people!
[ THE BUOYANT SEA ]

In the meantime, look out for FrðstTopp. A local music collective organized by The Buoyant Sea.
“Meet me in New York,” Dylan said, and hung up the phone. Always pointing her bow and arrow at adventure, the Saggitarius threw a few pretty dresses in a backpack, put on her sunglasses, and left Denver in a mostly empty boxcar populated by bottles and wayfaring hobos. On the other end of the line, Patty, a Pisces willing to go with the flow, packed a suitcase, went to Union Station, and left Chicago on an air-conditioned AmTrak.
The rest - is history.
See you tonight!
Peas,
The Rats Of NiMH
