I'm trying to remember some of the bands that played at Mulligan's in the early 90's. Pretty sure The Windows were from that time frame weren't they?

I remember seeing the Windows a couple times. Once in some dance club in a warehouse off of Lynn Rd and once in a bar by the Kroger off of I-55 in north Jackson.

4 am was a heavier cover band. Curiosity Shoppe was awesome.

Zoso was fantastic. Got them to play the kappa sig house one time.
Good Paper, Patrick Smith Band, 17th Floor

Well, Mack did cover that strawberry blonde!

The Windows were playing somewhere on Fraternity Row every home football weekend in the late 80's.

How about Sidewinder though?

Sidewinder, from Raleigh, North Carolina, they were awesome

I came here to insert Tyrone Smith Revue. They were fun.

People saying Spunkmonkees and Spank the Monkey, I am pretty sure that one or both have played at Shuckers within the past year or two.

My wife and I were trying to remember all the cover bands that played when were in school. Only bands I could remember were U.S. and the Mailmen. She’s younger than me and brought up The Breakfast Club.

Do y’all remember cover bands who played around Starkville in the 80’s and 90’s?

From the early 90's:

4AM
Tyrone Smith and the Review
The Mailmen ("What do the Mailmen do? The Mailmen do deliver!")

There was an acoustic guitar duo that would play afternoon crawfish boils and the like. Jeff and Jeff maybe?

Del and the rumdrunks were probably my favorite cover band ever, was glad they were local!

Spank the Monkey has been semi regular around JXN since The Dock closed. Pretty sure they are at Shuckers every year. I know they still play very regularly around Lafayette. Just hope their opening song is still Dead & Bloated.

Eli. There was a band that played some frat houses called The Late Show that was pretty good.

U.S., 17th Floor, and Splendid Chaos are the ones that I always remember

This post just transported me back 25 years

Off the top of my head, Jet Set was the only one I could remember until I read through.

I once unintentionally saw U.S. three times in the span of about ten days at La Vela, then Hal & Mal's, then Ricks.
