I was actually just listening to some Tragically Hip which is a Canadian band and I got to thinking...
What Band did you grow up next to? I tend to hear where bands are from and am quite surprised how close I was to them in location. For instance when I was younger we used to go watch Creed in basically garage shows. Usually they were in backyards but "garage band" is the more common term. When I lived in Canada the Barenaked Ladies were on a local kids morning TV show. I never got to meet them or anything but its still cool they lived so close. My brother did get to meet his favorite band Our Lady Peace who was also a local band for us growing up.
Any good stories of knowing a band before they were popular or growing up in the same area as a popular band did?
