I had to leave out one band -- Jellyfishbabies -- in order to fit all
the rest on the computer screen. Chris has them located right next door
to "Registered Vote" but not connected to anyone else. His note reads:
"Chris Murphy's my name and I'm taking credit or blame for this Halifax
music scene family tree. The tree itself was actually more twisted than
this so I ended up eliminating some lines as it was getting too messy and
hard to follow. I didn't put every band I could think of either because I
couldn't connect them to anyone else or I didn't like the band. But the
lines I did draw I think are true. I was relying on others near the top
in the 'before my time' section. Sue me if I'm wrong."
He also writes a list of "Honourable Mentions": Null Set, Redd Leader,
The Nerve, Next X, The Quirk, Cooter Family, Roland Blinn, Basic English,
Phycus, Aimless, Donner Party Reunion, Merge, Tetris
That's 68 bands on Chris Murphy's chart and I can
claim to have seen 17 of them live (=25%). There
must be some longtime scenesters on this list who
have seen many more than that. Anyone?
