	Shafted! History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Conscious rock n' roll dangling over a razor blade of punk and funk, the tale of the Geek Rock Revolution is the waking, kicking exclamation of the ancient adage that the journey is greater than the destination and what a long, strange trip it has been.
		Honed from years of preaching the virtues of Geek Rock on street corners and smoky honkytonks of the Biblebelt, the Revolution went national sowing the grapes of wrath from hell to breakfast until finally finding a new home for the increasingly bigger sounds in the smallest state of a nation begging to be rocked.
		Ever the journey over the destination, the ranks of the Geek Rock Army change over time but at the heart of every fumbled chord and broken melody, the ever present need to be counted among the few, the proud, and the geek keeps this unstoppable machine moving and growing.

		I knew that rock and roll need not be insipid to inspire last night, when I saw 6,000 valley farm boys pounding the air in perfect 7/8 time.
		Lucky says all arena shows are Spinal Tap in one form or another-- yet 6,000 valley farm boys rocked out for almost three hours, and would have taken as much as the trio wanted to have their way with nary a scantily clad babe.
		Wanna know the reason their new album sucks because it always sucked to begin with.These old worthless men are dried up, crispidee and crunchadee, you can only play the same three chords over again for so long and then it just sounds like the same old crap, they have become part of their own chatter.

	November 23, 1999 \| Chicago Tribune \| Geek Rock Is Not Afraid Of A Ballad (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Deep behind the thrift-store shirts and the thick-rimmed glasses, the sugar-sweet sentiments and the punchy power chords, the Get Up Kids and their peers in the burgeoning indie rock subgenre known as emo have a secret to share: It wasn't Nirvana who awoke the empty feeling in Generation X; it was Weezer.
		Their geek rock is back, the Get Up Kids are their loving children, and the 1,100 lovelorn boys in attendance Sunday at the Metro couldn't get enough of it.
		Half Jawbox, half Gang of Four, all the stage presence of the great Detroit garage rockers of yesteryear, the El Paso quintet's jerky, angular rock was as riveting as it was freaky, a nod to the earlier spirit of the emo movement.

		References to the Cars, Cure and New Order abound--Dave even sings like a Ric Ocasek eternally stuck at 16--and it could easily be an alternate soundtrack to an early John Hughes film.
		At times he makes Weezer seem like the cool kids, and he has more of heart than the other geek rockers could hope for.
		This is music that screams, "Hey, look at me! I'm a dork and I couldn't be happier!" And it couldn't have been done any better.

		Rivers Cuomo may be the most unlikely rock star on the planet.
		Then Cuomo pushed up his thick glasses and tore into the first chords of "Island in the Sun." The pleasures of geek rock filled the arena.
		Next came the loner anthem "In the Garage." While he was hiding out in the garage, Cuomo must have been studying the last 50 years of pop music.

	GUSTO: In praise of geek rock: music for the socially inept
		What follows is far from exhaustive; even defining "Geek Rock" is problematic, since the definition applies to both a band and its fans.
		How's this for a Geek band: a bunch of country yokels from the south of England ride the New Wave almost to the brink of success - then abruptly stop touring (lead singer Andy Partridge has debilitating stage fright) and devote the next twenty years to making some of the most brilliant pop music ever.
		TMBG are touring with a full band now, but back in the days of "Flood" and "Apollo 18," it was just two guys and a roomful of synthesizers, and we were all much better for it.

		And still, what Miller calls the "cross-cultural cross-pollination" of music in his life continued, as when he saw Ray Campi and the Rockabilly Rebels open for The Clash on the latter group's first U.S. tour.
		And though Southern Culture on the Skids was born on the UNC-CH campus, Miller says he's never felt that SCOTS was defined by the regional music scene.
		From the very beginning, his band wore its Southern-fried influences openly in a scene then dominated by fratty bands like The Connells and Dillon Fence – and now known as one of the epicenters of indie rock "college" music.

		One example given deals with Yes, the prog rock group which has been making music (and changing members) since the late '60s.
		By getting its music on a video game, Yes can be heard by an audience that would normally not ever hear it, since Yes isn't a big MTV staple (though Owner of a Lonely Heart used to be) and doesn't feature any nubile young blonde girl singer gyrating around a stage or a rapper.

		Ryen and I both went to UCLA together for a while and I was in like Theory & Composition classes so I was getting into these composers that I had never heard about before, like Schostakovich and Provokiev and Tchaikovsky, all these really great Russian composers.
		As innovative as they are daring Ozma are a band that feeds on far too many divergent influences to be pigeonholed into a neat little scene.
		However, those with a love for Weezer-esque 'geek rock' melodies curtailed with keyboard effects and crunching guitars will definitely find a place in their heart for them.
