Title: Good music from cities with an NFL team
Post by: CSW on February 22, 2011, 11:07:35 AM
Perhaps you can help me....

I co-present a weekly 1 hour speech only NFL radio show over here in the UK during the season. We have a couple weeks left in our schedule and are re-capping/reviewing highlights for each team.

During the summer schedule for my station, I will be putting together a monthly 2 hour show to take in the draft, CBA and other off season news etc. Mixed in with that we will also be trying to play at least 1 band form each of the 32 teams home cities.

So my question is, if you live in one of these cities, who would you nominate? We're willing to take in most styles of music so genre is not a problem. I have a few personal favourites marked in for a couple of places but otherwise it's wide open. if you have an opinion please let me know. Also, if you're from somewhere else but have ideas for other towns let me know, some of the places aren't jumping off the page at me.

Any help, much appreciated.

Thanks

THANKS GUYS!

I can confirm that the Replacements were already inked for the Vikings slot.

And thanks to mackro for further muddying the already muddied waters of Seattle. So many to choose from!

Anybody have any ideas for:

Kansas City
Buffalo
Denver
Jacksonville
Tampa
Green Bay
St Louis

Also - is it acceptable to spin a Jersey band/act for the Jets or Giants, what with New Meadowlands being in NJ and all. (If so, which team?)

It goes without saying that you should play New Jersey bands for both the Jets and the Giants, since both of those teams are based in New Jersey.

The question is whether you need to find East Rutherford and Florham Park bands.  If the false "New York" in the team names refers to New York state, I think you can go Jersey-wide, but if it refers to the city it might be cheating to then have an entire state to choose from.  I don't think you can jump from city to state.

Similarly, the Patriots have all of New England to choose from, not just Foxborough, because of how they bill themselves.  But because the team is the *Washington* Redskins but they really don't play in Washington, for consistency, if you go with New Jersey bands for the Jets and Giants you need to find a band from Landover, MD.  Maybe some Dischord band is from there, or, since every Dead show is unique, you could stretch a point and play something from Dick's Picks Vol. 20.

(Note:  If they were called the "District of Columbia Redskins" you'd be justified in going Maryland-wide, since historically though not today, the District of Columbia was a larger unit and the city of Washington was just part of it.  Georgetown, the County of Washington, the City of Washington, Alexandria County (today Arlington county, now in Virginia), and the City of Alexandria (now part of Virginia, and since grown past its historic boundaries to include territory that was never part of DC) are all historic sub-divisions of the District of Columbia.)

For Denver, you could go with DeVotchKa instead of Dressy Bessy.

I'm gonna take that as a yes, NJ bands are fine. Ideally I'd like to have an NY act and a NJ act. I know that goes against what you typed above. I'm not applying any strictness to it but thanks for the tips nonetheless.

Don't do Super Bowl Shuffle, though. Go for one of the deep cuts.

Denver: The Apples in Stereo

Green Bay: Timbuk3 (apparently their lead singer was from Green Bay; that this is the best option I can find says something, I guess)

Apples in Stereo are more Boulder. I'm a stickler.

Buffalo MUST  be Cannibal Corpse. Circle headbanging 4 life.

Plus, the title of the amazing double-C documentary, Centuries of Torment, certainly fits in with Buffalo's Super Bowl flubjobs.

I'd also accept a Vincent Gallo tune for Buffalo.
