Rolling Stones: Where are they now issueIn 2001 "The Dropouts" took the music scene by storm playing huge venues Woodville wide. If there was a Meneses family event you could expect to hear the shredding guitar of Chris "The Buzzsaw" Craven and the screatching vocals of Scott "Two Tones" Grimsley. But, as bright, explosive, and lightning fast as....well, lightning these guys faded out of the music scene that they so violently burst onto. So Rolling Stones Magazine dares to ask......."WHERE ARE THEY NOW?"

Not as bad as a Weiner photograph, but this still illustrates the fact that you should never do...anything, I guess.
Not as bad as a Brett Farve photograph either but at least Farve as a much better name for someone sending dirty pictures than Weiner!
I don't want to know where they are NOW, I want to know where they were THEN? and When was THEN. I mean they both look really young. But they are actually both very old.
The dropouts weren't so much a band, but an experience. The live performance sounded exactly like the cd's.. I gotta chance to see them play their guts out at the woodville weenie roast, and all I have to say is, "I was there man.... I was there!!!!"
I think i played with those vatos once. It was in front of some taco truck.
I spent 13 years of my life as an official "dropout head." my friends and I followed the band all over Woodvilles Wild venues and road trips! I have blurry memories of the wild after show Woodville parties. This band was nuts and they really knew how to throw The crazy, typical alcohol laced rockstar parties where men were men and so were the women! Except one time when the Woodville Venue was at the infamous Woodville pipes that ended more like where men are men and the sheep are nervous! I blame this band for my hearing loss, brain cell loss, blurry vision, warped sense of reality, dancing with the van monkey with my boxers on my head but most of all I blame this band for some of the rockingest times of my life man!!!!!!
All the memories.... I remember the first time I threw a walnut at the neighbor kids all the while humming that famous dropout tune, 'bent cements never been so straight.' Or rocking the head phones and lip sinking to, 'guts on fire.' or the nights of nintendo while singing along to, 'gonna cry like a girl til I beat up your guy.' Then ofcourse my all time favorite, ' I'll smack your face with chicken mole.' Next to Pervis Lake, No one can rock out like a dropout!!!!!
Ah yes... Remember the power ballad, 'syphoned gas to t.p. your house.' Or when they went reggea and sang, 'mouth full of goat cheeze.' Or the electronica version of, 'spilled some soda in your row-a-boata.' And the woodvile unplugged session when they surprised the crowd and played cacti memorindi.' Or how easily they could shift to punk country and come up with songs like, 'traded my tears for tecmo bowl.' or, 'my little woodville warrior..' Man Ima miss that band.. To the droupouts!!!
That band had the stuff. I gotta demo bootleg of , 'crushed velvet chanklas', 'no you never been to tablas', 'all my exes live at the U', and 'sun beat down on a boy named fignerous' all existing on the same reel!!! Stuff is priclesss man.... Flash your lighter and say goodnight to the droupouts!!!
They only got better with age too. I love, 'fists full of masa.' 'burn down nagis' is a classic. 'chicken fight sunday' is under-rated, and every house party still plays, 'my tortillas got a hole in it.' There's just to many that cryout dropout...
Remember that infamous night when they played The Cabanya Azul.. And the audience busted out, 'No beans for beto' accapela.. Then they did the instramental jam version of, 'good horse, take my boots off' and then finished the encore off with, 'loves gonna snake my last peso.' Then they played all night, backstage bringing out hits from the pappas and eggs sessions... What a band..
