the republik (note spelling, hip communist-era/80s reference for ya) is
located in calgary, alberta. it's ok, cool bands that have played there
include the posies, inbreds, pavement, seam, yo la tengo, sloan, pond,
six finger satellite (ok, they're sort of cool...), jale, eric's trip,
super friendz, and the hardship post (both incarnations).
james covey has a republik toque. does that make him cool? damn straight.

i've only seen two episodes of "from the hip" and was so flabbergasted to
see all the cool hangouts from calgary on national television i can't
really objectively say whether it completely sucks or only partially sucks.
one of my best pals jason said "sloan" on the galapagos raygun episode
just for all you sloannetters. nice huh?
