The B List: Top 10 Reasons We’ll Miss SCI

Written by HT Staff on 08.02.2007 | SCI, The B List

The String Cheese Incident will head to Red Rocks on August 12th to play its last show for the foreseeable future, ending a 14-year career of inconsistency, tepid jamming, sunshine and rainbows. We’d like to bid a fond farewell to the band with this list of the Top 10 Things We’ll Miss About String Cheese Incident, though we have a hunch they’ll be back in a year when Zilla draws shit crowds and Keller Williams finally agrees to front the band. ‘Til then, we’ll surely miss the following…

10. Looking forward to Hepatitis A outbreaks and Group Hoots

9. Hearing a concert referred to as an “Incident” without even a hint of irony

8. Tinyguitar player Michael Kang’s keen fashion sense:

Read on for the remaining seven things we’ll miss most about SCI…

7. Smelling guitarist Bill Nershi‘s bare feet when we ride the rail, brah

6. The phrases they’ve added to our vocabulary: Kangfirmed and Nersh’d

5. The headiest jam names in the scene — where will we go to see Inspiration Jam, Initiation Jam, Expression Jam, Evolution Jam and Synergy Jam?

4. Hula Hoops, motherfuckers!

3. Who else is gonna be a punching bag for an entire scene?

2. Did we mention Kang’s fashion sense?

1. And as our friend BG points out: Being reminded that we should thank God every single fucking day that we’ve never seen the gay porno that undoubtedly spawned the name String Cheese Incident

Thanks to the good people over at Team HLA for their help with this one. Thankfully we won’t have to wait long for these guys to throw out more mediocre music and horrible band names: Honkytonk Homeslice, Zilla, Eoto, and Elastic Mystic will keep the dream alive. We’ll see ya when you run out of money…

   I can’t believe how stupid and ignorant this article and some of you people are.

   I am a musician, and from a musicianship standpoint, firstly, SCI is phenomenal. Their chemistry is through the roof, they love what they do and the energy at their shows is indescribable. Those that are hating/have hated on SCI are reacting to the music strictly from an egotistical mind state. They aren’t willing to give it a chance because of how upbeat and positive the message is, I mean let’s face it there is light and dark in the world. Keep building walls around yourself, and you’ll keep missing amazing experiences such as an “Incident”. Some of the purest moments of my human existence happened in front of that band.

   Phish can keep the garbage scene of haters.

   this is an awful article, but free speech is free speech. You can keep your negativity and I’ll keep all of the memories and times cheese has given me. In the end I know which of us will come out ahead. Cheeseheads do not be discouraged! 2010 tour? kangfirmed ;)
