Back in 'the day' when I was going to concerts every single weekend (and every other weekday) my very favorite band was an unsigned regional group of amazing guys that called themselves Still Rain.
A singer - Donnie Hamby - that even though he was a skinny little dude had the biggest and best voice that I still have ever heard. He went on to play in doubleDrive with one of the guitar players.
One of the guitarist - Troy Mclawhorn - He also went on to play in doubleDrive and then Dark New Day.
Clint Lowery - The 2nd guitarist and brother to Corey. Played in Sevendust and Dark New Day.
Corey Lowery - the badass bass player - seriously, just watch him - went to Stuck Mojo, Stereo Mud and also Dark New Day.
and Bevan Davies - drummer extraordinaire played with Comes with the Fall and Danzig.
These are still all very talented guys and their later bands were good too, but nothing as tight as Still Rain. The harmonies most bands today would kill for, with the bombastic in your face rock that just blew away every body who saw them play. Sometimes I really do miss the 'old days'.
But, my friends, that is where the technological wonder of youtube comes in. It is by far the best invention of the last 5 years because now I can not only blather on about how great a band Still Rain was, I can also say - watch and see for yourself.
