Hi!
I haven't seen it yet. I'm in L.A., so its not on for another hour and a half here!
How I got into them is kinda cool actually...
I moved to San Diego after college and moved in with a friend of a friend's girlfriend (who is to this day one of my best friends, but that's another story) and this was in the early 90's... she had just graduated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville and kept talking about this AMAZING local band she always saw a Trax on Tuesday's for $1 at at frat parties...
Then several years later I moved back to L.A. and my brother comes over and hands me a CD -- "Under the Table..." and says "You NEED to own this."
So I was digging it, for sure, but not quite rabid.
So "Crash" comes out, and again, my brother comes and gives it to me. Clearly trying to suck me into his deep hole of groupie-ness.
Well it worked. I was hooked. And hooked even more once I saw them live. And then, and only then, did my friend from UVA tell me that DMB was that local band she was so into in college.
Now my brother and I have deep, philosophical all Dave all the time discussions. Drives our friends and family NUTS.
Check out my napster collection of EARLY DMB from like 91-93.
Napster id is amylamare. I'll be online from about 930am to 7pm California time.
How bout you prospectiverushee? How'd you get into DMB?
Amy
