And not just a cover band, though I know a guy who’s in three. The problem is Cincinnati is what one former coworker called “a wedding band town.” I would call it a bar band town, but it’s a far cry from what I grew up with. When I was a teen, WMMS in Cleveland would regularly play bands like Beau Coup, Jonah Koslen, and, of course, the Michael Stanley Band. This last was the best known act to come out of Cleveland before Trent Reznor recorded his first Nine Inch Nails project.
There are TONS of great orginal bands in Cincinnati right now. The best places to see them are MOTR, the Northside Tavern, the Comet and the Southgate House Revival, but there are other venues featuring killer acts as well (Radio Artifact, etc.).
