The Daily Universe in Provo Utah recently wrote and article on the ten best local bands of the Decade. It was an honor to be on the list.
Provo’s music scene has always been very unique. There are not a lot of bars hence not a lot of venues the bands are all intertwined and you really do have to make your own way. This article brought back a lot of memories. I thought of playing house parties, battle of the bands, Littering BYU housing with fliers, trips to Boise, getting shut down by the cops…a lot. Makeshift stages, and eating at the hospital after shows, until i was permanently eighty-sixed from the premises for getting in a fight with the security guard.
Thanks Corey Fox for including us in the list. There have been a lot of great bands come through this town, so many of them finish school and move on, It would be easy for the scene to fall apart but Corey has kept the seen alive and unique always moving forward. Velour is our CBGS.
