Pullin’ ‘Tubes: Graveyard Double Dip

Our look into the Jamband Graveyard wraps up this afternoon with a double-shot. Today, we’re going to feature a couple of bands whose names were routinely seen on bills at The Wetlands – and for all I know played there on the same night. First up is the highly underrated Albany, NY act the Ominous Seapods. Along with moe., GSW and Yolk they were at the forefront of the Upstate New York jam scene in the early to mid ’90s. Sure, they had a song called Bong Hits & Porn, but don’t let that distract you from the fact that these guys could flat melt some faces with their playing.

The classic Seapods line up with guitarists Max Verna and Dana Monteith were a force to be reckoned with, check out this live version of Cary’s Suite set to a photo montage of the band…

Our final band of the week added some much needed sexiness into the male dominated scene, mostly in part to the fact that they the had a woman lead singer. Fronted by Jen Durkin, Deep Banana Blackout played a blend of classic funk, soul and groove that turned their shows into monster dance parties. Let’s head back to the year 1999 for this version of Pakaloa Blues from the Gathering Of Vibes, that also features Michael Ray…
