Big D and the Kids Table.

[Punkbassist22]

A great Band, it just had to be said. I Saw them about a year ago and ever since then I fell in love they are a great SKA/PUNK band! What do you all think?

[El_Jeffe]

i'm not big on these guys musically but i have a lot of respect for them & their attitudes towards their music, much love

The title reflects our lives. Since Good Luck was released we have been touring non-stop, and every cent we make is put towards gas, rent and what little food we can afford. For a while, I ate by taking people’s leftovers at the restaurants where I worked. Our furniture was taken from people’s trash, we found TV’s on the streets, and I was stealing paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper, soap, pillows - just about every necessity that clubs, colleges and hotels had to offer. Then before we knew it, we didn't even have a home. Two years homeless. We found kids all around us selling out and getting rich from their bands, while we slept on friends’ couches or in our van. The whole situation was completely unbelievable to us.

In a time when Punk music is selling out faster then Pop music, or I guess, is Pop music (which goes against everything Punk stands for), it's hard to be in a band and understand how the public likes what it likes, or understand all the fucking politics these "indie" labels impose. "That's just how it goes", "That's just how life is", was the only way we could justify it. There is a formula to music now, and I when I was younger I never would have thought that so may musicians would give up experimenting in song writing just to pump out these Pepsi/Coke songs that have been written 100 times over. So, like you, we had a choice - we could sellout like everyone else and maybe make a buck, or record an album that we liked and continue to be poor.

Well, we're still poor...

These guys are absolutely incredible. I saw them open for Catch on whichever Ska Is Dead tour came around 3 years ago. They put on a fantastic live show and then actually hung out around the venue after their set. They were all super nice guys, and it makes me feel good to see a band this awesome and this down to earth.

[radjerryrad]

i've seen them 4 or 5 times and ive met them like twice super cool dudes.

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

I love How It Goes.

[allhourcymbals]

Been on a bit of a Big D kick lately. I'm surprised this is the only thread for them.

[KatieKutthroat.]

I'm going to see these guys next weekend, i'm so excited!

[CellarGhosts]

bumped, because I'm listening to How It Goes right now and lovin' it. I haven't been listening to this band enough.

oh and they were great when I saw them in March.

[versus_god]

I've missed them the last 3 times they've played here. Non-sweet.

[KatieKutthroat.]

Haha, now we have two big d threads floating around the front page. :-)

[CellarGhosts]

dang. :-(

that's no good.

I really wish I could find a video of them playing in Indy but alas, the youtubes yield nothing. oh well, it was a rad time. "Shining On" was so fun live.

[versus_god]

Big D is always a good time live. Dave is all over the place, haha. They're gonna be here in July with Less Than Jake but I'm a little apprehensive about paying $30 to see a ska-punk show.

[CellarGhosts]

I'd go. :shrug:

[versus_god]

I'm debating it.

And now that I think about it, I believe that's happening on the same day The Ergs! are passing through here. Decisions!

[CellarGhosts]

I'd go with Big D/LTJ, but that's just me. the Ergs! are really good and all, but I'd still pick the other show. though both would be a fun time for sure.

[versus_god]

I am a liar, Big D is here on the 23rd of July while The Ergs! are here on the 24th. I need sleep. Life rocks.

[CellarGhosts]

Haha, so that's two sweet shows in a row? good deal.

[versus_god]

Definitely! There's lots of good stuff coming my way this summer. I'm looking at Bomb The Music Industry, The Queers, Mad Caddies, The Ergs!, Big D, Riverboat Gamblers. Who needs Warped Tour?

Less Than Jake was kinda disappointing last time I saw them, and it looks like I'm going to have to sit through a Suburban Legends set. Hopefully these guys will make up for it.

[big mondo]

in california, less than jake rocked it pretty fucking hard last time they came through here

[versus_god]

The Less Than Jake Wheel of Fortune did not spin in our favor.

Great Scott! :jawdrop:

haha I don't think I've ever listened to Suburban Legends.

[versus_god]

They are a "ska" boy band that does choreographed dance moves and covers the occasional Disney song. It sounds great in theory, but something about them just doesn't sit well with me haha.

they were better 2 years ago. also, less than jake's wheel landed on anthem and losing streak, both of which i liked

Haha weird. I can't imagine I'd enjoy watching them either.

[CellarGhosts]

I love this band.
