Rules For The Band Lists

Kalamazoo Area Band List 1960-1999. Rules are made to keep me from going crazy nuts with piss in my pants. The rules are as follows:

1. the band must be from the Kalamazoo area.
2. the Kalamazoo area is defined by me as 30 minutes from Kalamazoo. Areas 30 minutes from Kalamazoo include, but are not limited to, the following burgs, cities, townships and hamlets: Alamo, Allegan, Almena, Augusta, Bangor, Battle Creek, Bedford, Benton Harbor, Bloomingdale, Climax, Coloma, Colon, Comstock, Constantine, Cooper, Delton, Dowagiac, Fort Custer Recreation Area, Galesburg, Gobles, Hartford, Hickory Corners, Kalamazoo, Lawrence, Lawton, Marcellus, Marshall, Martin, Mattawan, Mendon, Oshtemo, Otsego, Parchment, Pavillion, Paw Paw, Plainwell, Portage, Richland, Ross, Schoolcraft, Scotts, South Haven, Sturgis, Tea Pot Dome, Texas Corners, Three Rivers, Vandalia, Vicksburg, and Wayland.
3. Kalamazoo is not Ann Arbor, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Muskegon, Sault Saint Marie or Tahquamenon Falls.
4. the band had at least one living member.
5. the band had at least one living member that played at least one musical instrument. A Certron C-30 tape of your farts is not a band. A prank phone call tape of you calling The Black Swan racist, not a band.
6. joke bands are fine but not dream bands.
7. the band played at least one show with or without practicing.
8. a show is defined as the band performing live in front of more than the band's parents, or people that the band has held hands with, in a bandshell, bar, basement, brewpub, club, guitar store, park, strip club, or VFW hall.
9. the band did not perform too much Christmas music. Too much to be defined by me.
10. the band existed in the Kalamazoo area from the dates of January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1999.

Michigan Punk Rock - Hardcore - New Wave Band List 1970-1999. Rules for inclusion are pretty much the same as above, excuse the repeated parts:

1. the band must be from the state of Michigan.
2. the band played punk, punk rock, hardcore, new wave, or experimental noise type stuff.
3. the band had at least one living member.
4. the band had at least one living member that played at least one musical instrument. A Certron C-30 tape of your farts is not a band. A prank phone call tape of you calling The Black Swan racist, not a band.
5. joke bands are fine but not dream bands.
6. the band played at least one show with or without practicing.
7. a show is defined as the band performing live in front of more than the band's parents, or people that the band has held hands with, in a bandshell, bar, basement, brewpub, club, guitar store, park, strip club, or VFW hall.
8. the band did not perform too much Christmas music. Too much to be defined by me.
9. the band existed in the state of Michigan from the dates of January 1, 1970 to December 31, 1999.
10. the band was not a Christian punk/hardcore band which is an oxymoron.
