This is, I'll admit, a shameless plug. I usually try and avoid making these the same way one tries to avoid clipping their toenails; it's technically avoidable, but every once in a while it just has to be done.
My sister's in a band based in Salt Lake City. Now, I'd be supportive of my sister even if she was in a sucky band. As in, if she were accompanied by the chinese lady with the violin in Spiderman 2 and some random irish bum who hit some spoons against the floor, I'd probably still support her.
Point is, this is actually a good band. Not only am I plugging it out of brotherly kindness, but because, in a breach of local band etiquette, they're actually talented. People like them, and YOU might too.
They're Less People More Robots, and they're rock/alternative/punk, whatever that means. (That's just what their website says.) They started up like 4 or 5 months ago, and just won the SLAMMY (Salt Lake music award) for Best New Band. I've been listening to their demo and I went to one of their shows, and they're for real.
They have a website at
myspace where you can listen to four of their songs and look at the pictures of all the crazy people who post comments. Even if you don't like them for whatever reason, you probably know someone who might. Spreading "the word" to people who might give half a rat's bum about "the word" would be appreciated.
As a bonus for reading my shameless plug, you get to see a picture of a guy punching a shark.
