I am a greenhouse manager at Purdue and currently not invited into any bands for reasons of facial hair, melancholy, and poor taste in music. Listen to a broad range of music not worth digressing into here. As for rock, I am father to 3 pre-teens, so am into the FIRST albums of Drake Bell, Hillary Duff and Avril Lavigne. The first High School Musical soundtrack as well. The Jonas Brothers suck, but you have to admit that the kid from the Naked Brothers Band really has a set of pipes.
What bands are you or have you been in?
U.S. Steel
Freddie & the Fruitloops
The Sound/East of Eden
West of Lafayette
Uncle Bob & the Fear
Without Annette
What city are you from?
West Lafayette

Friend of Robert Brian Smith: (former bandmate, actually) - Pulled my 2 copies of the East of Eden vinyl out last weekend... still holds up. Viva Purdue U. circa 85-86!!!
Trust me, I understand the struggles with memory...there are a lot of names I wouldn't have remembered if it wasn't for seeing all of the pictures on this site. Plus, the Spyrographs were a forgettable band. We were Robert Smith (guitar), Adrianne Ambrose (drums) and me on bass. Basically we just goofing around and riding on Girls Can Touch's coat tails for a year.
We need to start a period rock band... since the Decemberists grabbed the Civil War Era for Yankee Bayonet.. I think we should go Great Gasby-ish. Whaddya think?

Steve: yes I thought about adding it, but couldn't remember if it was U.S. Steel or Nemesis I played with. Thanks. That was the band (Joe Steiner III, Matt Wukasch, Jamie Short) that I played with the night Leslie Sharp introduced me to Danny Thomas which led to Freddie & the Fruitloops. It was the Side Door gig at Federated Church. You were there with Stain Class and Robert with Lunatic Fringe, although may be compressing history. I recall being impressed you guys could play Rush and who could forget Lunatic Fringe in their hazmat suits.
I still have a vinyl copy (or two maybe) of the East of Eden LP that Robert (Girls Can Touch/Singles/Snake,Baby!) Smith gave me... Good to see you here sir! -Mike "suade" Newell, former The Singles (muncie) / currently UberScenester (mpls)

I don't know how to embed the dang thing, and it doesn't really have any connection to Indiana, except that it's, well, my son. Maybe some of you will enjoy it. My wife and I paid for his band to make a video for his birthday, this is the result. I…

Do they use weed-whackers in "academic" horticulture?
