Dan Deacon[edit]

Dan Deacon is currently living and performing in Baltimore. Should there be something in here about him?

There's a whole lot missing considering how much is going on here at the moment. Beach House, Ponytail, Arbouretum, Oranges Band, Wzt Hearts, Dan Deacon, Death Set, Video Hippos, Ecstatic Sunshine, Celebration, Baltimore Club on the whole, Mullyman, Bossman.... I mean... there's already factual errors in this piece(Lungfish being formed in the late-90's?!?!?!, Fascist Fascist a scene mainstay!?!?!, Slot Racer? who? what?).

Heh, no much? Dan Deacon = hipster pitchfork trash. Not appropriate for Wikipedia. Real music that requires actual talent only please —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.111.63.147 (talk) 01:45, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA on hold[edit]

Ref #37 appears to be a dead link - is there another link that could replace it? Image:Sergiu Comissiona.jpg would appear to be decorative fair use and no rationale is given on the image page for its use in this article. There's some American terminology that could do with clarifying: for example "Baltimore's hardcore punk scene has been overshadowed by DC's" assumes that the reader knows you're talking about Washington DC. I also think it should be clarified earlier where and what Baltimore is, e.g. "The music of Baltimore, a US city" or something like that. naerii - talk 21:04, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The link is fixed - they changed the url, but the article is still up. I've removed the Comissiona image, and I've clarified what Baltimore is in the lead. I've fixed the hardcore punk example you mention, and will give it a more thorough edit tomorrow. Tuf-Kat (talk) 05:44, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, looks great :) I'll go promote now as all issues I can see are fixed. naerii - talk 21:35, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removals[edit]

I've removed some stuff that was uncited. Based on some casual googling, it appears to be true, but I don't see any reliable sources for it. I'll reproduce it below in case someone has a way of verifying it. Tuf-Kat (talk) 23:56, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In about 1966 the Blues Back Alley after-hours jazz club/jam session opened at 2439 N. Charles Street. This club was very different from most other clubs. They didn't serve alcohol and were only opened from 2-5AM on Friday and Saturday nights. The house trio was composed of three of the best Baltimore jazz musicians who also appeared at the Playboy Club. This included Ted Hawk, drummer, Jimmy Wells, keyboard, and Donald Bailey, acoustic bass. When the nightclubs on Pennsylvania Avenue closed the musicians and audience went to the Blues Back Alley to continue their evening of entertainment.

In the early 1960s there were a number of coffeehouses offering folk music. There was the Flambeau and Triton on Charles St. near 25th, the Blue Dog on 24th St, the Checkmate on Read St., the Sorobo Village on Park Ave. and Patches 15 Below in Timonium. Some of the artists who appeared in Baltimore then were Tom Rush, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Buffy Saint-Marie, Biff Rose, Hamilton Camp, Tom Paxton and Jesse Collin Young.

In the late 1960s, the first club in Baltimore to offer live and original hard-rock music was The Bluesette which was in operation from 1965 to the early 1970s. It was a non-alcoholic night club in central Baltimore city at 2439 North Charles Street. During those years it was THE place to hear live bands. To play at any other venue meant you had to play the commercial music of the day.

The Bluesette was more than just a music club. It was a significant part of the youth culture at that time. It was also a magnet for musicians and fans who appreciated rock and blues music. On Friday and Saturday night they offered hard rock. On Sunday evenings they offered more acoustic blues or folk music.

Hundreds of young people were a part of the Bluesette scene during the years it was open. The earliest generation of local live groups that appeared at the Bluesette included The Roadrunners, Bobby J & The Generation, The Chambermen, The Chasers, The Children, The Intruders, The Nunsuch, The Runarounds, The Savages, The Chaparales and The Take Five,

Some of the more well know local groups that played at the club in later years include Ames Oakes, Aubrey Circle, Aux, Calhoun, Crank, Emerson's Old Timey Custard Suckin' Band, Grin, Joshua, Greg Kihn, Meat, Rise, Stonebridge, Uncertain Things and Urch Perch.

Some of those band members have gone on to bigger and better things. Greg Kihn went from folk singer to rock band fame and is now an on air radio personality in San Jose, California.

Grin lead guitarist, Nils Lofgren, plays with Bruce Springsteen's band after recording a few albums of his own. Other success stories include Steuart Smith from AUX who is now the guitar player with The Eagles.
