Imagine all of the best bands ever: NIRVANA, DEFTONES, HUM, Sunny Day Realistate, FAR, Foo Fighters, KoRn, Primus, Smashing Pumpkins, Silverchair, Tool, Helmet, Melvins, Failure, Led Zepplin, Metallica, Incubus, Beatles, ect. and put them all together with a new twist and with that spirit that died years ago known by the media as the 'Grunge' scene. Almost forced, we have to listen to whats left in ROCK today....with all of that crap they play on the radio and Mtv all day. Don't get me wrong..some bands are still kickn' it today and some of the newer stuff is great, but it's rarely seen or recognized. Were here as BLIS to bring this back...even if it's just to a few thousand who happen to catch a show around this area....it's better than nothing. Even though we are only 16-17, there's still hope in our eyes for the future and this site can maybe help that along...SO PLEASE keep an open mind and visit this site often because it should change weekly with concert info, pics, links, BLIS sound and album info, and anything else that I feel necesary.
*LOTS OF UPDATES:
-BLIS played two shows at the Anacortes Teen Center in the last month. One
on Nov. 7 and one on Nov. 13 with acts such as: ELY&JEREMY and Matt&Cassady. Nov. 13th
show went down with great reviews. They played a really full set and had an Awsome jam
at the end with a lot of trashing...it was High energy at it's best. Even though the venue is a little small, Blis is trying to make it a cool place like it once was. BLIS has decided (after NOV.13th's show) that they will try and play the smaller venues to increase concert goers.
-BLIS had a show at mercer Island set-up for the 13th of NOV., but that was gladly moved to
the end of FEB. of 1999, and it will be a really good show with larger bands to appear also!!!
-KNIGHTS of COLUMBUS SHOW!..... blis is playing a show on DEC. 4. Blis has spent so much time playing in other places that they decided to book a show in their home town for a change. Blis has asked personally for these acts to appear: BARGAIN TUESDAY,
LACTOSE INTOLERANT and special geusts PROZACK STAPLE. Tapes of Prazack Staple will be sold! Expect a big cool show. Admision is only $3, or $2 and a can of food for the help house. Please come to support a good cause and have a blast at the same time.
*Update* the show went alright. The turn-out was moderate, but could of been a lot better. Even still; BLIS raised enough to donate over $70 and over 2 boxes of canned food to the help house. Prozack Staple was a highlight of the show. Lactose had some diffucultys, but still managed to play well. Craig showed near the middle and played for the last time (It brought back memories).
