I like The Sheila Divine. I own two of their albums and they both bring me to my knees, they're that good.

Heard both. Only scattered songs from Sheila Divine, but all good stuff. Saw Dear Leader back at their TT's residence in January and I wasn't very impressed.

hmm, so it's not looking too good for DL in this thread.

i like aaron a lot, he's a really decent guy, but i haven't latched onto DL yet.

i can't remember if i ever saw the sheila divine live.

a couple of my buddies said that the DL album seemed to be the same as TSD's albums in that there were a few great songs and the rest was rather mediocre.

The best TSD stuff was New Parade era stuff - I think Aaron damaged his vocal cords before recording Countrymen and thus everything after that kind of lacked the raw edge that New Parade had for me.....having said that I really liked all of their stuff....I haven't been able to get into DL unfortunately...but am still trying. Aaron is a great guy.

Hilarious moment - we drove from Seattle to PDX just to see them play at NXNW - they were playing at an old strip club, where they still had girls basically go-go dancing in pasties....weird stuff....At any rate, TSD did this fun cover of "The Thong Song" - Never has it been more appropriate :)

BTW, I concur with OPA.....when TSD was on their music would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up......in a good way :)

Kev this is random, but I saw you guys featured on the largeheartedboy site a few weeks ago and I can't help but wonder if he found that on his own or at your suggestion... either way that's awesome since I always check that site and find great songs waiting for me...

Cotton - ha, that is random! I wonder how we ended up in his queue...my friends the Information are also on there. Crazy!

That's a great story about TSD! Jim Gilbert, the bass player, is our de facto manager right now, so I always love hearing these kinds of things...

My friend in Boston LOVES Dear Leader. He played a bit for me when I was out there, and they seemed decent enough.

I saw The Sheila Divine when they opened for the Manics here at the Troubadour. Weird bill. Great band.
