 Post subject: Five Decent Bands Named After Star Wars TerminologyPosted: Thu Oct 22, 2009 7:39 am 
HoustonPress has a cool article which mentions Eisley: http://blogs.houstonpress.com/rocks/2009/10/five_decent_bands_named_af ter.php Quote: Eisley: These indie-swooners from Tyler are named after the space port in A New Hope where Luke and Obi-Wan first encounter that "wretched hive of scum and villainy" at Chalmun's Cantina. Formed in 1997, the family band of siblings and cousins first hit national ears with 2003's Laughing City EP.
Currently touring behind the recently released Fire Kite EP, Eisley actually hits Houston November 16, opening for Say Anything at Warehouse Live. We know a guy named Irwin who knows way more about Eisley than is humanly possible, and can also name every single Transformer that ever existed. Does "Irwin" hang out here?  _________________ |

Ha ha, that's a weird shout-out to include in an article! Where you at, Irwin? _________________ http://www.twitter.com/drstrangeblog http://www.last.fm/user/getinline I can't find the time to write my mind the way I want it to read. |

Ba Wa Weep Grana Weep Nini Bon??? Needless to say, Eisley knowledge is one thing, but Every Transformer... That is truly Impressive. Counting comics and cartoons, and all the hotwheel sized cheapies that list has some obscure names on it. I can barely scratch the surface of the list, and as a kid I celebrated the anniversary of the release of the TTM (86'). _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB           
 = personal fave  = Eisley fans should dig it

I remember a funny playbill for either Nerf Herder or a band called Dagobah that showed Yoda with a joint in his hand. That would explain the droopy eyes. _________________ http://www.twitter.com/drstrangeblog http://www.last.fm/user/getinline I can't find the time to write my mind the way I want it to read. |
