anything by saetia i would highly recommend.

"Saetia was a band from New York City that formed in early 1997. Saetia's first show was at ABC No Rio to about 30 people. 2.5 years, 17 songs, numerous tours and 4 bassplayers later, Saetia played their final show at ABC No Rio to 40 people."

pretty funny, really original band if i must say

We're in the process of

We're in the process of revisiting some older records (see Todd's In/Humanity post), and I think Saetia is a good idea. I still have their CD on Mountain around somewhere, but I haven't listened to it in years. Todd and I played in a band that was supposed to play with Saetia, but they cancelled their tour at the last minute. I can't remember why.

Where's that quote from? Their discography? It reminds me of a similar quote in the Rorschach discography.

Other bands from that area/era to be revisited (off the top of my head!):

You & I
The State Secedes
I, Robot

The funny thing...

The funny thing about the quote in the Rorschach discography was that their last show was for several people less than their first show. I felt that little blurb perfectly captured the sort of glorious futility of being in a D.I.Y. hardcore band.
