["Glenn Boothe / Local 506" <gboothe2 AT earthlink.net>]

there's plenty.  all of the bands playing our habitat benefit
apparently are (saunter, mowgli, the naturals with aforementioned
Sweater Weather.)  100 Yorktown and The Verdict have UNC members in
their bands.  I don't check IDs of the bands, (or at the door if i can
help it) but these seem to draw a younger crowd: Starting Tuesday,
Nathan Asher, American Aquarium, Big Pretty and the Red Rockets,
Dirty5thirty, etc.  There was a really good band that played the last
electric jam that seemed younger...i think they were called Tripp (but
i might be confusing their name with another band...there were a lot
that night.) Not all are so-called indie-rock, but it younger people
are willing to come see them at 506, then they must be somewhat
open-minded about music in general.

 This is all of the top of my head...if a list were requested, i'd be
willing to dig it up.  Of course, just book a couple of these bands and
you'll get inundated by their friends...trust me, i know...

in fact, maybe beth should get a student to help book the place...she
book the older band, they book the younger band.  Heck, maybe I need to
do that...glenn
