But that band is from Boston. Do they just have a stellar street team that extends across the nation?

Nope, just another mall punk/emo band.

I thought this kind of "guerilla marketing" was only done by internet companies and TV shows targeting hip teens.

They are the winners of the most unimaginitve band name ever.

Ooh! They have r.ngt.nes*! And a Street Team! And Street Team Reps! So, yes, this radical street art is brought to you by Sony.

Mind you, I don't think there's anything wrong with trashy young bands whoring themselves out to major labels. If the tunes are catchy, it's all good. I just wish they wouldn't paint my city with their ads in the process.

Hmmm, since it was in Ballard my first thought was Mars Hill Cult Church.

Durr. (strike)Cult(/strike) Church


Y'all need to allow <strike> as an HTML tag in comments, which is the bestest tag ever. Sigh.

I once saw Tom Snyder interview The Beastie Boys around '89. He was just as puzzled by Adam Horowitz's Silver Surfer tattoo.

SNYDER What does that tattoo mean?
HOROWITZ What do you mean what's it mean?
SNYDER I mean what is it? What's it represent?
HOROWITZ It's just a tattoo of The Silver Surfer, man, relax, why are you so worried about it?
SNYDER Well I just wanted to know what it means.
Horowitz jumps up on Snyder's coffee table and lears at him menacingly.

HOROWITZ It means Satan, man! It stands for Satan, OK?!
SNYDER We'll take a quick break and be right back.
