Members Futuresman Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 I was thinking about this last night, was listening to a some tunes via shuffle play and a Freddy Jones Band song came on. For those who don't know, Freddy Jones was a local Chicago area band that had minor success nationwide, but most people wouldn't know them from adam. Anyway, they are from my neighborhood, went to high school with some of them, and ran in some of the same circles. I figure everyone has a band like that. A band from the area that almost made it big. I figured a good way to get introduced to some new music would be to have forumites post some links, vids etc. Freddy Jones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keRmOs3PqK0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Futuresman Posted February 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 57GDLP- I love that song as well and it was one of the only youtubes i found. I really like their album Lucid, much better than their others. Check it out if you havenn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BG76 Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 I went to school with a guy called Rick Wes. He was discovered by Maurice Starr and opened for NKOTB. He was a nice kid but his father and uncle burned down my church. We played baseball together for years. His record was called North, South, East and Wes and he was supposed to be the next big thing. Another guy who I played with a couple times was the bass player in the Funky Bunch and now is with Justin Timberlake. Great kid, great player. I think Rick Wes works for the gas company.

Members dwreck Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 The Why Store is the Freddy Jones Band of Indianapolis. Had many good times at the shows and really thought they would make it. Played on Conan and had a video with a little airplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hellion_213 Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 I guess around here, the Freddy Jones band would be Omega Tribe. Been around a long time, almost made it several times. http://www.myspace.com/omegatribe Horns of Moses would be in there as well. Signed a one album deal. http://www.myspace.com/hornsofmoses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
