Jennifer Nettles Band - What You Signed Up For

Before Jennifer Nettles became the superstar lead singer for the band Sugarland, she was playing clubs and bars all over the Atlanta area with her own band playing her version of blues mixed with country and rock. This is a rare look at one of her early performances at the Variety Playhouse here in Atlanta. Enjoy!

The Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs were one of those bands that were always on the brink of making it big, but instead they always remained a great alternative college rock band. That's probably why their die-hard fans were and still are so loyal. Gentlemen is from their album of the same name that was released in 1993. Enjoy!

The Replacements - Bastards of Young

The Replacements are considered to be one of the greatest bands to come out of the 80's college rock scene. They were notorious for showing up for their gigs completely wasted and many times, they would play an entire show of nothing but covers songs rather than their own songs. Bastards of Young was from their first major label release called Tim. Enjoy!

Jupiter Coyote - The Real Thing

The quality of this video isn't great, but it's one of the only videos of Jupiter Coyote live. I've seen them play live more than any other band, and they always put on a great show. Back in my college days, I helped the band set up at our fraternity house. If anyone out there has any other footage of them, please forward the link to me. Thanks and enjoy this clip!

Cake - Never There

Cake is very hard to label. Some say they're a college jam band that hit the mainstream. Others label them as alternative funky rock. Still others, label them as alternative country music. Whatever you want to call them, if you've ever been a to a Cake concert, you'll understand why I label them as a college jam band. They're a blast to see live, and they thrive in smaller more intimate settings. This is their biggest hit, Never There. Enjoy!

The BoDeans - She's A Runaway

The BoDeans are one of my all-time favorite bands. They've never achieved the commercial success they deserve, but I don't think they mind. They've always done things their way. This is one of the few official music videos they released for their song, She's A Runaway. Enjoy!

10,000 Maniacs - Hey Jack Karouac and Eat for Two Live Music Videos

10,000 Maniacs formed back in 1981 in Jamestown, New York and they originally called themselves Still Life. They even lived here in Atlanta briefly in 1982 where they raked leaves and sold their blood plasma for money. They eventually moved back to New York and in 1987, they released their album, In My Tribe, which is, in my opinion, one of the best alternative rock albums of all-time. Hey Jack Karouac is from that album, and Eat For Two is from their 1989 album, Blind Man's Zoo. Enjoy the video!

Dave Matthews Band - Ants Marching

The Dave Matthews Band as they were called back in 1993 used to play the Ivory Tusk bar in Tuscaloosa, AL. The first time I saw them at the Tusk is still one of the best performances I have ever been to. They were a great college jam band to see live.

This song, Ants Marching, was the first song on their independently released album, Remember Two Things. It was later re-released in 1994 when the band hit it big with their major label release of Under the Table and Dreaming album. The first video is the official music video, and the second is a live performance of the song. Enjoy!
