Whatevs Hot Dudes Like These Bands
Posted by Ashley Spurgeon on Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 11:54 AM
Seth Graves, a.k.a. The Casio Casanova, a.k.a. Pretty Girls Hate Graves, is little more than a dirty old man. Once upon a time, he told me he was making a list of bands that have the hottest girl fans, but after mature, adult deliberation, we decided it was sexist.
The only way to make it unsexist was for me to make a list of the bands that bring out the dudes.
So, here they are:
The Features
I'll admit it: The last few times I've gone to see The Features, I've felt like An Old. This band consistently manages to bring out men, but I've noticed more and more of those men are skewing towards boy, Scarlet-Lettered with giant X's on their hands. Part of me sees that X as a sign of hidden treasure, but more of me understands it just means trouble. I'd always considered myself a relative rookie as far as Features fans go, having been in it for only about 6 years. But the band's dedication to making actual good music and putting on a rocking good show is clearly winning new and younger fans.
Younger fans I want to devour.
Almost any show at The 5 Spot, Ever
Sweet baby Christ, I love a beard. Plus they're likely to be smokers. Le swoon!
The Privates
It's a fact. Hot dudes love The Privates. They are, in my humble opinion, possibly the best band Nashville--no, the world--has ever given us. I'm inclined to fancy any boy at a Privates show because I know, based on the sheer fact of his being there, he has very good taste and is probably drunk enough for me to take advantage of.
Two Haas-drummed bands on this list so far: Is Rollum the key? Does his expert banging of taut skins bring out men who are not only fans of good music, but curious about how a male, and a good-looking one at that, can make them feel all tingly deep down inside? I say yes. And curiosity is a good thing.
The Protomen
Ha ha, just kidding.
The Holly House Coterie
The ever-popular collective of popsters who love music and drinking bring out dudes who enjoy the same. The boys in the crowd may go a-swoonin' over Caitlin Rose and Tristen, but those women are TAKEN which means more mens for me!
Well, who am I leaving out? Where am I wrong? Hit up the comments to discuss how shallow and useless this is!

I concur on the five spot. it's my favorite place in town and that's for more than the music...

Patrick, I only talk about Mr.Mom like three times a day.
Is my Michael Keaton obsession really that obvious?
I ran across this interesting article. Lacking gender balance, I know, but the editors promise to correct that soon. Plus, it satisfied my daily need to ogle Jenny Lewis and Neko Case.
