You took the words right out of my mouth when you said "Cool people are lame."<br /><br />Anyway, The Inactivists are the greatest band you may never see. If there is such a thing as "crime" in today's world, it would be The Inactivists never getting signed and/or acvieving national/international recognition. The second you think they're just a novelty act, you, after careful observation and listening, realize they are a tour-de-force! See, all the serious points have already been made. Profundity has been accentuated in every imaginable way. So all the bands out there going for that have already failed, in my opinion. Or at the very least, they've just been long since beaten to the punch. The Inactivists have an angle. And while there may be nothing new under the sun, The Inactivists put a fresh twist on pain, heartbreak, and alienation. And this twist is not dark and morose, but rather, upbeat, funky, powerful, and teeming with energy. To play any one genre of music would be too easy for them. These are seasoned musicians. They are the pioneers. And they have nothing to lose.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425759068536355718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971946094611774090.post-27150722051143160662009-12-18T16:32:31.742-08:002009-12-18T16:32:31.742-08:00Of course, "nerd" is meant as a complime...Of course, "nerd" is meant as a compliment.
