Hmmm...we don't know what we're doing. But we think you'll like it. We play rock for the kids. We are thirsty. Can you send beer?


"The Thirsties bring the real deal in indie rock--powerful guitar-driven quality with subtle brilliance musically and lyrically..."—Eric Ward, Free Times

"...Sweltering and fantastic"—Otis Taylor, The State Newspaper

Ugly is the New Handsome Review
"Another band with veritable “Who’s Who in Columbia” lineup...The Thirsties hearken back to the days when college radio was dominated by R.E.M. and the Replacements. Ugly is the New Handsome is a flat-out rock record...there aren’t any ballads or dance numbers to distract from the tasty guitar licks and outstanding vocals."—Patrick Wall, Free Times

"These five Columbia, SC indie-rock scene vets write songs that showcase their love for vintage tones and multi- instrumentation. The band’s sound has been described as drawing on influences ranging from Guided by Voices, R.E.M. and The Replacements to Swervedriver and Archers of Loaf"—Flagpole, Athens, Ga.

Fake EP Review
"The Thirsties debut, Ugly is the New Handsome, found them doing what they do best: Churning out terse, melodic college-rock anthems that recalled the heydays of The Replacements, R.E.M. and Guided by Voices. So you’ll forgive The Thirsties if they step out of their comfort zone—if only slightly—on the Fake EP. 'Gasoline' harkens back to Ugly with its insistent, stop-start guitar patterns and singalong chorus, but it’s when The Thirsties branch out into spacier territory, as on 'Fake' and 'Loud', that the Fake EP shines. Here’s to hoping The Thirsties follow this trend on their upcoming, to-be-released-later-this-year follow-up EP."—Patrick Wall, Free Times

You know my new hobby of the month is collecting old German WWII crap.  Damn.  I could have been the bad Nazi for the vid.  Have an original M35 helmet and 4 orig. armbands.  Have a U-boat flag too but don't see how that would fit in....

Damn, you and Mel both giving me shit.  You guys are making me feel like shit for not coming down.  Atleast I was missed which is an ODD feeling for me.  We went to see the Jesus Lizard TH and felt like shit Fri.  So when Sat came around I had done nothing "family wise" or anything that involved 1) FIRES  2) FIREWORKS  3) FIREARMS  4) Putting out someone from being ON FIRE....so we stayed in C'field.  I'm a horrible planner.  Next time I will bring my guitar and amp and maybe something can happen.  Those 5 days vacations (2 of those days DRIVING) don't really give you time to do shit.

Hey Will mentioned it once again to Ken last week, not much more I can do than that.  He told me he would call you but I guess that didn't happen?  I think you have his #, why don't you call him?

Your former member was an old message board buddy of mine, we used to chat about music a lot. I used to live in ATL and he and some of his cohorts came through on the way to some Big Star pilgrimage they were doing in Memphis and we all went out for an evening of heavy drinking and frivolity. At that time (around 2001 or so) he told me that he was needing a name for his band and so since they all drank so much I told him maybe you should all call yourselves " The Thirsties" and so he did. True story. Tell him I said hi if you see him around.
