Help an AltGrass band beat out Rap and Pop on MTV contest?

[MudPies]

Winner gets play on MTV or something like that. TLDR. Just watch the videos and vote honestly. OR, vote for Trampled By Turtles many many times while watching the vid and other related TBT youtube vids.

Why use the asterisk for the abbreviation if you could've just typed out what it means in the first place, thus saving time?

Since when is TGP about saving time?

And to be OT: didn't like the song, and do people still watch MTV? And if so, I don't think AltGrass caters to the MTV audience.

A free bump for your thread.

and the real thing...

Sam is a beast indeed. Since TBT isn't quite as grassy as the bluegrass/newgrass title would imply so that's why I call them AltGrass.

Here's a much better representation of them. IMO the single used in the contest isn't their best work, but just trying to help friends.

Hmm quite a dilemma.....Bluegrass/jamgrass whatever is quite popular here in Boulder and also quite annoying.

Not as annoying as rich white kids playing f-bomb rap (which is not hip-hop).

I dont know who to vote for.

I think YMSB kind of wrecked the CO bluegrass scene for a while.

I think most of those guys in that scene are really talented players.....just too happy a sound for me....also playing in minor keys once in a while would help also

As for bands wrecking scenes...its usually the fans that do that.

Indeed. In my bluegrass days Dm and Am were my fave keys to write in. CreepyGrass.

Nothing ever wrong with helping anyone. I was just picking at you in regards to one of the original "Altgrassers."
