Defunct Hall Of Fame
A list of bands that once were, but are no more. In order to get on this list, your band needs to have played Athens frequently, then broken up or fallen apart. Why keep a list of dead bands? They don't always stay dead and sometimes dead bands are more popular than live ones.

Band Name Description

4x4 Eyes If musical genres could duke it out, 4x4 Eyes would be the instigator. Although he may be most famous for his proficiency with drum and bass, do not fall into the trap of classifying this DJ too narrowly. His often lengthy, always entertaining sets flawlessly flow from intelligent techno to classical to science fiction soundtrack to music you never knew existed.

And The Sun Went Out Operating on the assumption that fear is the natural lead-in to rage And the Sun went Out (bass, 2 guitars, beats, vocals) offers a rock aesthetic which begins with fear (of inequality, of injustice, of violence, of prejudice) and develops into the inevitable rage created by the feeling of helplessness. We split up but most of the members are still playing in other bands. Alex, Ben, and Sam are in a band called SIX GALLERY (www.myspace.com/sixgallery) and Beau is singing in a band called BELMONT. Check'm out!!!

Billy and the Cloneasaurus Billy and the Cloneasaurus are the pioneers of random normal rock. Rather than lick the envelope, they tend to push it with their incredibly diverse sound. This sound is constantly growing, improving, and twirling towards freedom. With an infinite list of influences that includes The Beta Band, Phish, Ben Lee, They Might Be Giants, and The Flaming Lips, it is not surprising to hear Billy and the Cloneasaurus turn on a musical dime.

Douchifer Douchifer is a collective of local musicians and non-musicians rejecting the notion that audiences need to be entertained conventionally. Using audio terror tactics, lack of or abandonment of competency and self-restraint, and every excess available to them, Douchifer is setting out to chase people out of bars everywhere. Surprisingly, people continue to come see them. Apparently spectacle is popular these days.

Fine Dining Fine Dining plays loud guitar-based rock and roll music, but it's pop music at its core. Indie rock darlings like Pavement, the Shins and Pixies show a major influence, as does the classic Beatles style. We hope for a diversity of style wide enough that we can play the Union and the Donkey with equal facility — that is, to have an ability to fit on just about any bill. Lots of people compliment the riffs, but we'd rather be known for writing great songs.

The band also makes regular stops in Mexico proving their brand of bluesy punknroll can get a crowd moving regardless of native language.

The Free Range Pickers perfrom songs about chickens, cows, and love with music that is upbeat and humorous, that may be described as something between bovine boogie and cowboy jazz. Hot Club of the Chicken Pen is a hopeful description suggested by Chris Ridgway, guitarist and vocalist for the band.
