Who was your favorite Tallahassee band back in the day?
- Thread starter Nole Daddy
- Start date
Since a few current bands have been mentioned, I’ll throw out one - The Brown Goose. They are out of Tallahassee but play all over the southeast.
After reading through some of this thread this morning, this afternoon I saw on a buddy's facebook page that the guitarist passed away today after battling cancer. Ziggy Luis. RIP, shredder.
Julian started with Crosscut when he was like 15 years old. I have seen some axe men in my time and he was something.
They were pretty much the house band at Seminole Tavern.
Last I heard he was teaching at Boston University.
Okay, wasn't sure if they were actually from Tally but they certainly put on a pretty good show in the early 80s

I still remember the day my band finally got to play at Floyd's. There were two defining moments for local bands back in those days. If you were picked to be a headlining act at Bullwinkles or getting a chance to play at Floyd's. We opened up for O.A.R at Floyd's and it was pretty great. Playing a 4 hour set at Bullwinkles was one of the best concert moments of our time however. We were in our second set, and there were like 30 people out there listening to us in the beer garden. We decided to end that set with a Creed song and suddenly within minutes it went from 30 people to several hundred people who came pouring out, and for the rest of the show it stayed packed. 4 hours of playing is exhausting however, not something I'm in any hurry to do again now that I'm 40. Maybe if we started at 4:30 in the afternoon or something, lol.
Man that is pretty awesome. I am so disappointed in the music scene as of late in Tally. For whatever reason we can't even get big name bands (other than freaking country acts) to play here. In the past I have seen, Elton John, Billy Joel, The Eagles, 311, and Tool to name a few. It's been a long while since we had those kind of acts here.
I wonder if that has anything to do with FSU taking over ownership of the Civic Center?
Was happening well before the FSU purchase. I had heard the CC were asses to work with and pissed off promoters.
Floyd's and Bull's were my favorite bars during my time from '94-'98. I do rememeber the Groove Merchants playing at frat parties as well as some of the bars. A Doors cover band, The Backdoors (I think they were called), played at Floyd's a good bit and they were always a good show.
Never saw live bands at Floyd's, but had a blast drinking and dancing with friends on "Old Wave Night".
Quite by accident! It all started with me looking up something online about Tallahassee, and proceeded to go on an internet deep-dive that eventually brought me to this site and this post!
I still visit Tallahassee often, by the way. My mother actually lives there, as well as a number of old friends. Not *this* weekend, though, I try to avoid Tallahassee when there is an FSU football home game. A seething mass of humanity and the already bad traffic gets worse. I watch my Noles on the telly instead. ;-)
Cheers,

Reason: it’s Tallahassee. It’s not a major destination and it’s not really on the way to or from any major destinations that make logistical sense for a huge tour production.
The drummer from 911 was the producer on my band's recording project in 2000 or so. They changed their name after 9-11, but I don't recall what they changed it to.
