Stone Temple Pilots, Cage The Elephant, and Fang Island at The Rave/Eagles Ballroom
Despite making two of the most arguably durable grunge-era albums (1994’s Purple and 1996’s Tiny Music… Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop), Stone Temple Pilots are not yet recognized as one of the best mainstream rock bands of their era. They were an easy target during one of the most annoyingly cred-conscious periods in the history of mainstream rock, and eventually broke up in 2003. A notoriously troubled 2008 reunion tour didn’t help STP’s reputation, but against all odds the band has stuck together and made a new album (though it doesn't bring anything new to the table), this year’s Stone Temple Pilots.
