They used to do a pretty good job of using the opener slot to promote their peers (Mudhoney, Sonic Youth), young bands who needed a boost (MMJ, S-K, Supergrass, Idlewild), and older bands who needed to be reintroduced to a younger audience (Buzzcocks, Ramones). It was cool of Eddie to do presets to get people in the building to watch the openers. Do they even have openers anymore?bodysnatcher wrote:Sure, there are loads of bands that PJ influenced. But which bands have PJ helped along the way? Much like Neil Young did with them
There's a blurb in that Grunge is Dead book about how they've helped out Death Cab quite a bit. Not sure if that's the band side or organization side, but it's something.
