i've never met grayson, sure we have mutual friends but i've definitely never met him let alone bought a drink for the dude. but two bands i've been in now have always gotten decent attention from the Indy.

@E: Of course, I refer to what we think is interesting/worthwhile, which is subjective, but has nothing to do with who buys Grayson drinks. I do have a hard time imagining that people who spend their time stalking Grayson in bars and making bitter, anonymous posts here are interesting musicians, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong, should they care to reveal their identities!

i don't think there's any magic or conspiracy or required amount of drinks to buy grayson to get listed here. but what do i know, i've lucked out in getting my gigs covered by the indy, but i could never booked at troika, batting .000 on that front in my ten years of living in durham.

I'd like to mention that both Carnavalito and The Latin Project are going to be playing at the Latino Festival in Raleigh this weekend.

And as far as being noteworthy is concerned, I have heard a couple of the bands on this page, and if we are speaking in relatives, than yes Carnavalito and The Latin Project are both "worthy" of a mentioning.

Grayson, in the future, if the Indy is ever going to promote a show in which I perform, please ALWAYS use a picture of my band with a second picture of just me in at least one of the corners. I appreciate that you mentioned my name regarding the Kinksmen show, but this is not enough.

Wait, you're upset that we used a photo of the opener rather than one of the headliner? Are you sure you're not misplacing your anger regarding the sluggish pinto market?

It bears mentioning that merely having a band in the Triangle does not automatically warrant coverage in the Indy--we highlight what's interesting and worthwhile. Y'all sure it's our fault your music's not getting covered?

That's funny, I thought Tres Chicas was headlining the Goathouse cat refuge benefit. Why is the Luego guy's picture up there?

I'm not sure that anyone in the Triangle has publicly beefed with Grayson as loudly or as often as I have, and even I think a couple of you are dunderheads at best! I whine about Grayson missing events that I think deserve column-inches, but I never thought it was about knowing him or hanging with him or anything.

Grayson said very kind things about my band right here on this very web page, and I don't know him from Adam. So there.

I've "hung out" with Caltrop exactly once. And that was an interview for a story in a magazine.

It doesn't matter because if you ask around, you'll find that most local musicians feel the same way.

So what disgruntled/frustrated local band that is not getting any press do you play in?

Ah, looks like Grayson is at it again, promoting his friends, their friends, and the people he's known all these years and their friends.

If you don't know someone who knows Grayson, good luck getting covered by the "Indypendent."
