I used to be in a band called 'Maple Tree'. We were named after a gay, incestuous cat. The drummer's dad was a science teacher and named all of their many cats after trees. One day, Maple Tree mounted up on his brother, Sumac. We knew we had our band name.
The first gig we ever played was at the local high school. We tore that place up with covers of Green Day, Pantera, and Coal Chamber songs. Then a girl broke her arm in the mosh pit, and the school said we couldn't play there anymore.
When you're in a small farm town and you can't play at the school, your options are pretty limited. We tried to set up some outdoor shows, but the city noise ordinance wouldn't allow it. We played a couple graduation parties, and that was it.
Blog-land sucks. Come on...y'all have to have done SOMETHING in your life worth posting about.
