Tight Bro`s From Way Back When (USA)

Hitch (Belgium)

World AIDS Day

Tight Bro`s From Way Back When:
Jared Warren: voice
Dave: guitar, harmonica, voice
Quitty: guitar, voice
Sean Kelly: bass, voice
Justin Olsen: drums

Tight Bro's been around the block--Jared sang and played bass for Karp and is still Fashio; Quitty was in Brent's TV, Mukilteo Fairies, and Behead the Prophet; Dave was in Suckerpunch, Han Shan, and Behead the Prophet; Justin was in the Skip Kennels and the Black Eyes; Sean is a band virgin but is old and knows a few tricks. The Tight Bro's do indeed enjoy AC/DC, to whom they are often compared, but feel the resemblance is accidental and the comparison lazy! For true inspiration is derived from the other obvious inspirations: the MC5, Little Richard, Slade, the Stooges, Black Flag. The Tight Bro's hate assumptions that they play Ironic Butt-Rock, retro-metal, or some-such- they realize that rock'n roll seems dated and funny to people and that their music in particular seems comically macho especially when played by a bunch of nerds, but in their way are completely sincere. In the face of a northwest wave "Issa not punk, issa rockaroll, baby!," the Tight Bro's don't care who knows they're punk rock. Cuz they are. No one else seems to think so.

The Tight Bro's like the shows to be cheap and full of excitable kids. They have, in their two-years plus existence, played two bar shows but were able to justify it in their petty little minds. They are often asked to play bars, as their music seems to appeal to cranky older punkers, but they'd really rather not. Ditto for shows costing over 7 bux or so.

Quitty got tired of winding up in punk bands just cuz no one wanted to play the rock'n roll, and became determined to have a rock'n roll band. Dave wanted to play the rock'n roll. Their first drummer moved away. The second drummer got behind it in a big way and then Jared joined on bass. Dave and Quitty foolishly attempted to sing. Two shows were played. The drummer split. Justin joined on drums, Jared moved to 1st chair microphone and Sean joined on bass. First Karp and then Behead the Prophet went on tour and upon everyone's return the Tight Bro's got to be top prioritee. Excelsior! The Tight Bro's can't make up their mind about whether "Bro's" should be spelled with an apostrophe or not (an apostrophe seems to connote the possessive form, but not apostrophe causes people to call them the "Tight Brothers," which they are NOT. They are the Tight BROZE.

Hitch from Belgium also introduced themselves.
