I was thinking The Bowmans The Like two cool girl bands! u want a girl band Mere?hmm Carmen Townsend & the Shakey Deals please everyone check out www.myspace.com/carmecita SHES a huge BM fan, and is from around here. almost posted a song for the tribute, but tragedy struck and she missed the deadline.

I have found more cool bands on there than anywhere else. Here is a link to The Bowmans, they are very folky twin sisters....they rock. www.myspace.com/thebowmans I thought they would fit in! I was thinking a "fun" band as an opener because everyone will be so pumped for melon that its going to be hard to distract us !

12 Daze opening for Melon... Now there`s a show for us!.. Btw is it up for the bands themselves to decide their opening act or is it the record company or someone else that makes that call?

Just to clear up a few things:
Candlebox only reunitied for 1 summer. It wasn't a full time gig.
The Sound I Saw is no more. Shinn picked up a new bass player and now is being billed as "Everything is Energy: A Band by Chris Shinn". Chris has been approved to do three tours this year...20 major cities, 1 month at a time. Chris is also tying the last knot on creating his own record company "Nest Records". He'll be able to release anything he wants (August Annd, Celia Green, Move as a Verb...etc). He's got a handful of business partners. One of which is the singer of the band Gravity Kills. So, who knows if the two bands will be in the same city on the same night.
But, back to the topic... I wouldn't doubt it if American Minor opens for a few dates. If you look back at Unified Theory, the band basically gigged with friends (ie. Live). So maybe the boys from Melon will do something similar? I really have no idea. Lopez? American Minor? Under the Influence of Giants?
From past experience, some bands used local acts as openers... It draws in the local crowd and the Blind Melon fans as well...

The local act thing is a good idea...

Absolutely... Great for the main act, and great exposure for the local act.

Chris Shinn changes bands more than I change my underwear, oh yeah, I don't wear any. Whatever band he is by the time of the tour, still would be cool to see him live. Rene lopez would kickass also. Actually there are some many bands that would be a good compliment to Melon. As for chick bands , there's one chick I would give my left testicle to see in concert, Polly Jean Harvey, I LOVE YOU P.J.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
