Rolling Totes PWNING Awesome Shows in Twin Cities Thread!

they are super great.

how are FAGGOT??

and where do you look this stuff up? i'm always lamely browsing the a-list the day i want to go out.

Other possible cool things:

Foundation Nightclub:

1/20 - Afrika Bambaataa

1/25 - Funkdoobiest (!!), Thirsten Howl III, Evil E

Turf Club:

2/9 - The Hidden Hand (ex St Vitus SST dudes), Kylesa

he board on modern radio is good for twin cities centric stuff. do you post there matt?

haha yeah i'm m@gm@90210 on that board i hang out there a lot.

wrt Faggot:

I, personally, find them to be more interesting to read about than actually listen to/see live. It's pretty much just sloppyish punk/metal to me, I understand there's a lot of "interesting" personal politics/sexual identity type stuff that was cool to read abt in the City Pages thing on them, but it doesn't do much for me musically....but I know people that love them...

foundation is a really nice place, and it sounds great.

yeah it's sort of strange in that almost everyone knows each other in "real life"

foundation is a really nice place, and it sounds great.

yeah i'm so skittish about putting down big $$ on hip hop shows though, my friends were just complaining abt. paying $25 at escape ultra lounge to see 3 hrs of local rap dudes then 30 minutes of Clipse (who didn't even go on until 1:30)

whole music club, old school art rock like WOAH

FUUUUCK I think i'm going to be out of town for this...but you don't have to be! there's still hope for you...fucking todd rittman from Maple, ug this is gonna be great...ONLY $5!!!!

Rhys Chatham's Guitar Trio with special guests: Fog
Written in 1977, "Guitar Trio" is Rhys Chatham's signature composition, and with good reason. The word "seminal" was invented to describe it. With a single, repeated chord, Chatham permanently altered the DNA of rock by splicing the gritty, overtone-drenched minimalism of John Cale and Tony Conrad with the elemental fury of The Ramones. The amalgamation was inspired. It energized the downtown New York scene throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, and made Chatham a founding father of the notorious No Wave movement. The influence of "Guitar Trio" spread even farther as former students and ensemble members carried its shimmering swagger into the rock mainstream. When Sonic Youth are inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame (in, yes, Cleveland -- and you know it's gonna happen), listen for some G3. It's there.

In 2007 Chatham returns (he expatriated to Paris in 1987) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of "Guitar Trio" by performing it on tour throughout the US and Canada. And we don't mean it's on the set list; it is the set list. These will be no ordinary concerts, and the ensemble -- pumped up to a formidable six guitars at most shows -- will be no ordinary ensemble. Chatham will lead a band of all-stars at the Whole. The concerts will also feature the original visual projections created for the piece in 1977 by famed visual artist and feature-film director Robert Longo.

Together, Rhys Chatham and company will demonstrate to a new generation of fans the amazing feats that can be accomplished with one chord, six guitars, a rollicking rhythm section and amplifiers set to "Liquefy." The show will also be recorded, to be released on a G3-only CD. The title? It's obvious: Guitar Trio Is My Life.

Rhys will perform with:
Guitar: Erik Fratzke, (HAPPY APPLE, ZEBULON PIKE)
Guitar: Andrew Broder, (FOG)
Guitar: Todd Rittman, (US MAPLE)
Guitar: Ben Vida, (BIRDSHOW, TOWN AND COUNTRY)
Guitar: Rob Lowe, (90 DAY MEN, LICHENS)
Guitar: DAVID DANIELL (JONATHAN KANE, SAN AGUSTIN)
Bass: Greg Norton, (ex-HUSKER DÜ, GANGFONT FEATURING INTERLOPER)
Drums: Tim Glenn, (FOG, BATLORD)

A new, slim, trim, and vigorous Fog opens the show.

Get here early to see this once-in-a-lifetime event!

Coffman Memorial Union, The Whole.
Feb 10: 9pm - 11:30pm.
Free for U of M Students/Staff/Faculty, $5.00 for general public.

My brass band is playing at the Nomad on Saturday night (Jan 5th). Should be fun, we'll have free food and be giving away copies of our new ep.

tomorrow:

Dan Deacon/Gay Beast/Vampire Hands

First Ave

yeah we're in bold motherfuckers~!@~!@

bold cuz we are wicked awesome, yo

Sorry I missed your show Jordan

woah this is like the Internet in HD

i went to vamp handz on sunday night at the entry cuz the drummer in the band i'm in is playing with to kill a petty bourgeoise now too and i hadn't seen him yet...

heatdeth -- yet another andrew broder project -- opened up, they were pretty good, formless noise like cluster or something.

hey wow, in my browser this thread has no bottom menu bar. THREAD OF MYSTERY.

How do people feel about Gay Witch Abortion? My current TC <3<3<3

for out of town peeps, i am asking about Gay Witch Abortion the band, not the political stance, which i am 100% behind.

I saw a bit of them, thought it was good...I'm pretty much pro-anything w/Shaun Walker on drums, he's great....although..i would say that more members wouldn't hurt, i'm getting a little tired of the 2 man thing.

(jon did you ever get the yoleus record? i haven't yet but i know it's out)

i just remembered that i ordered a cd from fratzke's band, like, months ago and never got it.

i played at the nomad a few weeks ago and it was totes awesome.

no, i've been really lazy w/new stuff lately, outside of emusic. also, i just got my vinyl back from the dude who had it on loan, so i've been sifting through that, which is taking up much listening time.

yeah sorry i didn't go jordan. nomad is nice. you guys seem to be doing okay in mpls though, at least enough to make it worth the trip?

jordan, i have no idea what yer bands name is.

bold

boooold

yeah, there was some good press (city pages and onion picks, and a radio thing) so we got a great crowd. also we provided free food, which never hurts.

john, this is my band.

you should try to play with dreamland faces next time you are here, could be a kinda cool mix (they don't have myspace for some reason)i'm a sucker for musical saw:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmR03OGqOsM&feature=related

dreamland faces are cool (maybe a bit schticky vocally). saw them open for jason webley @ turf, and then saw them in a basement. nice people.

thinking about going to heroine sheiks 2nite but i probably shouldn't cuz we start a 4-day spate of recording tomorrow...

still too sick for shows, but urrrgghhh where is heroine sheiks show?

triple rock - w/blind shake and the dynamiters (dave g. from selby tigers/die electric and nate from monarques)

my brass band is playing at the Nomad on Saturday Aug. 23rd

we're going to play in bold

i will attend this show

IN BOLD

this thread got OUTTA CONTROL!

nomo in the entry thursday is gonna be dope (although my band had to cancel cuz of a drummer softball knee injury)

ha my leet mod skills makes us all look crazy now

dammit why couldn't you wait a week, I could have possibly gone, too

NO JUSTICE NO PEACE BRING BACK BOLD

aww.

IDIOT THREAD REPOSITORY NEEDS MORE BOLD CAN YOU HELP

califone tonight!!

That Damo Suzuki show *was* awesome, as are Faggott, though M@tt's description of them is pretty much otm.

Did that Jerry Jeff Walker at the zoo show already happen? rats.

Faggott are better to read about than see live because you only have to READ about that dude's butthole rather than SEE it.

Just kidding, I only saw his balls.

btw, the show at the Nomad is with this NYC band, sounds intrsting.

they are opening

maps of norway CD release show october 10th at the turf club!!!!

BUMP for reminder that Jordan show is tonight

Zebulon Pike CD release at triple rock this Saturday, first show with Tommy from self-evident (M@tt knows him, right?)

I GO TO THIS NOW

duuuuude i had to go to this party of my sis and bro in law's way out in the burbs...they had an "80s" party and we went to see the coverband hairball

but anyway yeah i love zeb pike and tom is a fuckin' bro beyond belief and an awesome bass player so pls report back on the show and the new zep pike CD if you bought it!!!!!

i ordered zebulon pike cd from their website a long time ago and never got it :(

I can bug tommy about that if you want jordan. Are you talking about the new one?

New record is great, show was fantastic. The second track (of three) on the new one is my favorite.

Hairball!

Anway, so going to this Dead Moon shit tonight.

Er I mean Pierced Arrows. Man, does a drummer change really necessitate a name change?

Everyone was dancing and I got really sweaty and sprayed with booze and Toody Cole is so nice and then we went to our pal KG's place in St. Paul and drank vodka and had to chase it with cookies because there was nothing else WOOT and then we drove all the way back to Mankato HI DERE GOOD MORNING the end

(driver was sober! though apparently I wasn't quite yet when I posted this)

Pierced Arrows shows are Rad Times

Belphegor, Amon Amarth, Ensiferum, the Absence tomorrow at Station 4 in STPL just in case i am not alone in my TC metal love.

It's looking likely that I'll be at this.

awesome. if you are, find me, we'll drink beers.

If I'm done with my papers, I'll be there.

Eh, unfortunately stuck in Kato. Oh well.

Legendary Pink Dots at the Varsity on Thursday! I've never seen them.

Zebulon Pike opening for Boris on Friday at the Triple Rock!

probably can't go :( might cancel plans and piss people off in order to do so though.

M@tt, have you seen Zeb Pike since Tommy (from self evident) started playing bass for them?

bump for the good of the people

this saturday, mama digd0wn's brass band @ the nomad. we're making jambalaya and serving it up (for free) at set break!

what time are you going on?

9ish, and probably playing 3 sets

awesome. will be there.

also i promise not to talk about RE5 at your show

haha awesome.

on an unrelated note, Torche will be at the (ugh) Varsity theater on April 10th w/DREDG (?)

?! haha weird bill. the varsity isn't that bad IMO. only been there a couple times for the fall, do make say think, and when we opened for futureheads.

on a progged out flute tip: Ghost..Entry May 4th

on a street real noisepunk elders tip: Urinals (!) & Killdozer (!!) Sept 26th...Turf Club

JJ is Dredg like the new H.I.M. basically? like guitar center dude music thing?

god i hope not

the wiki says they have some prog thing going on, but its one of those misspelled names that always makes me nervous

During the L.D. 50 era, the band was famous for wearing extravagant make-up, seen in both their music videos and live concerts, and using unusual stage names such as Kud, Gurrg, RyKnow, and sPaG.[

yeah i don't know why i think this, but my gut is that they are "prog" in that sorta what if dream theater liked radiohead kinda way...but this is strictly a gut feeling.

oh man i am going to be so irritated if that is the case, really want to see Torche, but will not sit through crapnoodle for any band, i spend too much time around that shit as it is.

by the way i claim trademark on the Crapnoodle genre tag as of right now.

john a couple youtube videos seem like trouble for dredg. my gut was not quite right...now i'm thinking '80s rush but the emo/nu-metal version.

ugggggghhhhhhhh nooooooooo

a fake version of my band is going to be on KFAI in a few minutes (not me, i'm still at work)

don't listen

nice to meet you, matt. i had fun (although i was super exhausted) and i got to get my corn pancakes fix at maria's the next morning.

nice to meet you as well.

really enjoyed the set, i left after the second set to go to the turf to see the danforths CD release show...but yeah you guys definitely bring the party, really liked when you would do a big rhythmic breakdown, also the part time lover cover was cool....definitely seems like a perfect dance/party type vibe.

"feet don't fail me now" was my favorite, and also that ballad you opened with dedicated to someone's uncle or grandpa or something.

everyone is great players, i could almost do with more soloing personally

it was funny going to an early Milo Fine/Davu Seru/Paul Metzger free jazz thing then to your show I felt like I traveled the entire spectrum of jazz.

thanks. yeah, the tuba player's grandpa had passed the day before, so it was a little weird when he dedicated the song to him and everyone was like "whooo!". he didn't mention that he had died, maybe so as not to bum everyone out, but what we played ("just a closer walk with thee") was the traditional new orleans send-off.

oh jeez yeah that didn't come across at all, i don't think the crowd was trying be insensitive. sorry to hear that.

yeah, it wasn't anybody's fault and i don't think he was offended. that song was really for his/our benefit anyway.

btw i think i misspoke, in addition to the tuba player, both trombone players and that snare drummer are all local minneapolis dudes.

you are pretty much local! :)

wow i am totally awful at actually making it to this stuff, sorry jordan

HEY SO TONIGHT I WILL BE AT PAGANFEST AND YOU ALL SHOULD BE TOO

who's playing?..i was planning on going to d. rider at the turf, todd from u.s. maple's new band

considering mogwai on sunday

Korpiklaani, Primordial, Moonsorrow, Blackguard, and Swashbuckle plus some poor local metal band that will be roundly ignored.

or: Finland, Ireland, Finland, Canada, New Jersey pirate metal, unfortunate local band, if you want to look at it that way.

soul fans should be at the dakota tonight...chicago soul singer otis clay fronting the butanes!!!

here's an old soul train clip of his minor hit:

Wolves In The Throne Room w/Zebulon Pike @ the triple rock tonight for the awesome metal

also mike watt at the entry with the dude from slovenly in the band, watched a youtube today where they tore thru some minutement joints into "three chord rhumba" by wire...dudes were shredding

apparently we like to schedule all of our total PWNAGE on the same night ;_;

yeah no doubt this always happens then there are tons of nights with nothing going on

oh hey Black Moth Super Rainbow/School of Seven Bells @ the triple rock tonight. If anyone else is going I will drink a beer with U.

gastro non grata at triple rock tonight. 6 PM! $3! Meat Raffle! Beers! Rogue Chocolatier! Birthday Suits and Dreamland Faces and a bunch of other bands!

ok then

oh hey I was there, it was awesome.

so how did i manage to miss that the meat puppets played the entry this last sunday.

THIS THREAD HAS FAILED ME

oh and future of the left w/STNNNG at the turf next weds which is going to be mad dope

i think mike went to meat puppets! (remember that dude?)

The Meat Puppets played this tiny Mankato bar just after I moved away, too. Like the kinda bar that all the local whatever bands and bands that ain't shit in Mpls come and play. Would love to have seen them there.

oh hey goole if you listen to FOTL and dig them, let me know and K and I will grab a ticket for you - going to run over and get them right after i get off work tomorrow

xpost yeah apparently they are playing at the duluth pizza luce tonight? madness

Haha, awesome. I actually saw Afroman at said Mankato bar come to think of it! The end of the set, anyway. That was...a thing.

yeah i heard the meat puppets were cool, didn't go.

i would totally see FOTL but i'm gonna be in africa, sorry dudes :(

maybe The Ex will tour africa again : )?

would be so dope

very, very intrigued by the possibility of seeing music in kampala, but not sure if our schedule will allow. i actually think a film about changing musical traditions in areas recently or currently beset with conflict would be interesting. like, is there "conflict music?" are people seeking refuge in older ways or forging new shit in light of new and alarming social conditions or what?

hey now here's an idea maybe

oh hey how long are you in africa btw?

also will you do a "Rolling Totes PWNING Awesome Shows in Kampala!" thread plz

yeah ok

there for three point five weeks, leaving Sunday

man good luck, should be an amazing experience!!! bon voyage and all dat.

thanks man, i'm pretty pumped. still have a ton of shit to do, though, dang

just so this thread doesn't let JJ down again:

9:00 door | TBA

oh hey!

(psst M@tt - where?)

it's a secret ;)

oop...Turf Club!

btw the M3dus@ is a pretty cool "secret" venue

???

i know nothing about the m3dus@

im old, btw

you know where the bedlam theater is? it's behind there, across the light rail tracks. looks like it used to be a muffler shop or something, doing some cool shows, mostly free jazz/weirdo rock/improv type stuff i think

i saw milo fine and paul metzger there

but slough feg is at the turf club, not to confuse the issue

oh that sounds dope

the bedlam gets a little bit too much of my money these days, thanks to the patio and the being on the way home from campus

Man I gotta brush up on my Mpls venues if I'm gonna be living and have a life there. Especially noting this M3dus@.

when do you return to these fine united states dude?

MPLS/STPL be world travelin these days

Yeah I'm in Auckland NZ. Everyone talks trash on it and says it's boring but after about 8 years of 'Kato it's like a riot. Like I walked down the street and saw Pumice, and everything's tropical and shit. It's dope IMO.

But I'll be back around the end of Nov / early Dec.

while on a trek to buy textbooks, no less

hey, i saw debris from the tornado on lake street. it smashed a tree and parts of the tree were scattered over blocks. too bad about the electric fetus; i just went there yesterday and it was great. i presume they have insurance and will be OK. hopefully they can still operate soon and won't lose too many days of business.

Ha, it's really bizarre to be working at a media outlet and have a tornado touchdown about three blocks away and no one knows until after the fact.

Whoa um the urinals and killdozer tonight @ the turf club

did u go

no one else would go bah. should have called you dude srry.

i was in chicago!

i am posting from a bus!

oh well see there you go

guys what is happening, i need stimulation

also also:

do you guys know anyone with SPACE? like, say, for a show/party type thing? a friend of mine and i are organizing cr4nksgiving, an alleycat/food drive, and it'd be awesome to have a spot for an afterparty. failing that, we could do drink specials at the n0mad or something, but a big room with kegs and a DJ would be nice, too

in a perfect world, we'd trick awesome local bands into playing, but what are the odds of THAT

hmmm will investigate.

also yes we should prob kick it in the near future yo

brotally

weekend of 17 Oct probably, since that's when i'm done with first round of finals

:-/

say sup to hank

goin to t rock for trivia btw

bah i'd love to but i have a kickball game. playoffs!

btw tried textin u today but apparently Á gave me the wrong num

Playoffs!

Is there anything str8 bitchin' going on around the end of Nov/early December or am I asking too much too early? I wanna re-enter the States with a bang.

ok im just going to c/p this announcement but dudes srsly:

OX-OP ARTS PRESENTS:

Non Consensual Post Dada Constructivist Cerebral Warts
Art/Music/Film Festival 2009

OCTOBER 22nd- 25th • SOO Visual Arts Center

On October 22nd through 25th, SOOVAC Gallery will host a conceptual tour de force seldom seen outside the two coasts.

The large main Gallery will feature a major retrospective of two hometown Minneapolis heroes of the international flatstock design and printing world: Burlesque of North America and Aesthetic Apparatus.

The side gallery will present a bizarre opening of local artist and alternative music mogul, HAZE XXL. A multi-media onslaught, the exhibition consists of 100 individually hand-made art CD sleeves, each containing original art and individual Polaroids, along with HAZE XXL created objects d’art featured in numerous national shows including the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. The show marks the first and only release of the Halo Of Flies/Gay Witch Abortion collaboration album. Just 100 CD's produced, and that’s it forevermore but not surprising coming from the former head of Amphetamine Reptile Records who initiated his label by originating the whole “limited edition thing in music” back in the 1980's.

Each night of the four-day event, performance art takes on a literal meaning with live music sequestered in yet another gallery within the gallery. The musicians will be performing behind large screened windows facing the main gallery, harshly backlit so that the audience sees only silhouetted shadows and movement. Four security cameras inside the room will broadcast those performances live onto screens in the main gallery, playing with perceptions of time and space and lessening even further our distinctions between reality and the alternate broadcast reality which is far to often blurred.

The Opening Event will also offer an additional layer of altered perception, featuring the short films of renowned artist Chris Mars. Primarily known for his deeply surreal oil and pastel images, he has taken to animation
and film with all the intensity and incredible detail of his oil paintings.

did read, did not go..but anyway was interesting and made me want to check out aquarelle! good stuff

cedar cultural center website sez TEH GOAT.SE is:

SOLD OUT

: (

i haven't really heard FOTL, but i <3 McLusky and that is enough for me

xp aww

yeah i can't go have a family event but trust that the turf show, despite his flu was fucking AMAZING

FOTL is a lot like McLusky...maybe a little less touch & go and a little more wire...but if you like one you'll probably dig the other

i will go out on a limb here and say i think i like FOTL more than mclusky. maybe. sometimes.

so i guess i should listen to this XX band all yall kids are talking about then.

i bet the mtnrnge g-oatzen show would've been nice :(

xp yeah i just want some people to scream and make noise for a little bit and be in the same room, is the thing

well fiddle dee dee

maybe we can lobby the man for a 'fuck washing a hat' guest list spot or four

jj XX maymay notnot bebe yryr thingthing??

i dunno i guess i assume that since it is not v v shreddy that maybe it is not yr deal

oh for the gluttons for punishment crew:

PPL

ok FOTL tickets obtained (on presale at the fetus btw)
also going to mtn grouts, anyone else thats going to be at the show should give me a holler. do they serve beerz at the cedar cultural center?

The Black Heart Procession / Bellini at 400 Bar - Minneapolis, MN $12.00

there is an unclaimed ticket for FOTL for anyone that is not yet in possession of one

i am going to be a bad man and say that i saw black heart procession @ triple rock and they were sadly boring. would like to make drinking plans with folks that go to that show however, while i enjoy the dulcet tones of teh groats (i am prepared to hate the fuck out of final fantasy TBH, so i might want drinks whenever they are on as well).

oh boy oh boy

gbx you didnt see these guys the last time they were here did you?

sooooooo great.

also if peeps want to meet up for a beer downtown before the show, let me know

my momz came 2 stay with us last minute so i have to miss this!@!

anyway anyone who hasn't seen these dudes should make a point of it.

jjusten i just sent u an email!

uhh ok so ticketweb.com is saying "none available" for the XX at triple rock -- triple rock website is NOT saying it's sold out.

stub hub has them going for ~ $50

i've got mine but was going to acquire another one for a friend and slept on it until now. what does this all mean? is it doors-only now, or do y'all think there are some left at record stores? the fetus? treehouse?

hmm...i don't know if they sell triple rock tickets at record stores

i think they usually leave some tickets for the door, but not positive....

i'd just call the triple rock

if they do sell through all the local stores like first ave does, i would go to roadrunner, they tend to sell out way later than treehouse or fetus

ah good pt

afaik one of the dudes im going with still has an extra FOTL ticket btw

i am so bummed i can't go to FOTL.

btw, another great place to score "sold out" first ave tickets - the down in the valley locations in maple grove and crystal...

goole I ~may have an xtra xx ticket but I won't know for a while

hm ok, will keep in mynd

oh duh mtn goots are tonight and black heart is tomorrow, so never mind my meet up idea.

ok sorry i was a jerk about final fantasy, that shit was awesome.

matinee groats were fantastic, thx j0hn d! also, playing letter from belgium made me A+ happyface, what a fucking amazing song.

last chance for hethenfest yall - doors at 7, prob too much money, but belphegor are going to be mad awesome (eluvitie as well, but i am 90% stoked for belphegor tbh)

blackheart was good, but goddamn BELLINI is the truth, holy shit...guitar player is like Albini with mega chopz

guys sorry for not coming out :(

Hey John that Belphagor group you been mentioning lately is maybe the first thing I've heard in a long while to make me rethink my stance on metal.

My stance being "the bulk of metal I hear doesn't really hold much appeal for me" which I guess is still true so n/m, but what I heard of those dudes rocked.

Belphegor, bla, sorry, I spell better next time.

xx/friendly fires tonite

i'll be there

the xx were v good, though clearly missing something, i thought. also, maybe it was just me, but the soundguy was not doing a great job?

where was the show?

also...Unknown Prophets CD release is thursday if anyone wants to be a backpacker for the evening!

we have a LIGHT SHOW!!!!!!! i'm super stoaked about it, they hired the guy that does lights for atmosphere, he has this whole computer thing that coordinates weird LEDS and strobes and shit, kinda stoaked about that.

triple rock

where's yrs?

early mainroom 18+ jawn

$10.00 adv | $10.00 door
filed under: Mainroom

i have not actually been to the mainroom since moving back iirc!

i've never played there except for this cover band contest thing they used to do, so i'm pretty pumped.

man i used to love the cover band contest! which one were you?

we actually tied for first...it was basically unbelievable jolly machine as the smiths with local soundman extraordinaire bri@n h3rb from housebreaker as morrissey, super fun night, i think i still have the bottle of night train malt liquor that was the prize, we had to split the case with some dudes from theater company that did james bond theme songs.

Hayyyy guys how do I have an awesome time and not spend a buttload of money tonight. We had plans but may need new ones now. It's weird.

oh dude this is easy, Gay WItch Abortion is playing at the turf club tonight, and the cover is only $6!

i cant go, hosting old school dudes at my house for traditional non-traditional fakesgiving, but it will be AMAZING AWESOME

Oh bitchin. We actually almost saw them last night at um...that place like half block from there which I am blanking on.

Suggesting alternate plan. http://www.goheavy.com/forums/smilies/thumbs_up.gif

the place a half a block away is prob big v's? which used to be kind of awesome but now is (sorry dudes) kind of a bad sounding disorganized mess. better to see them at the turf

triple rock this saturday:

LEARNING CURVE RECORDS SHOWCASE X-MAS PARTY
W/
THE BLIND SHAKE
GAY WITCH ABORTION
SEAWHORES (IN THE OLD BAR!)
IN DEFENCE
THE DEAF

$6, 9 pm GOING TO BE TEH AWESOMEST

May try to go to this cuz last time I got wayyy too drunk and had to leave before Gay Witch Abortion went on.

glad to see the deaf is playing again!

yeah that was kind of a suprise to me too! might be a one off tho

yeah haven't talked to jack for a minute but i think they've had trouble finding a full time bassist...i was actually gonna sub for one show but it didn't work out...

"this bunny bites" is probably one of the best, most overlooked punk/metal/stoner/heavy type records of recent years, super pummeling and minimal

hoooboy finals on monday............

ok so, any tc peeps that are going to be at the show tonight that i havent met should say hello. i would claim that i would buy you a beer, but after christmasing the shit out of myself this week, im going to need to buy myself all the beers.

man i think i am gonna go see whitesand/badlands cuz they are prolly my fav band in the TC right now and they are with retribution gospel choir and it's free....then i gotta go catch the last baby guts show cuz they were fam w/maps of norway

John there were like 8 dudes at that show I thought may/may not be you, soooo *shrugging confused guy emoticon* GWA and the Blind Shake rocked that shit way harder than expected. Weirdest part of the night was realizing half way through In Defence's set that I knew their drummer from my 'kato days.

not totes pwning but certain a o_O lineup at Lee's Liquor!

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm249/joeholland_bucket/RGordonWEB3.jpg

MATLOCK??!? crazy talk.

hey that's my birthday

happy b-day : )!

wait

oops

I like Robert Gordon a lot but only know one record w/ Link Wray sooo....Glen Matlock huh??? What's he up to these days?

Pierced Arrows at 7th St. again, next Wednesday, just sayin.

^^that pierced arrows show was great.

Hey if anyone is looking to do anything, me and my friends are DJing classic hip hop tonight in the Clown Lounge at the Turf.

RIYL: Spice 1, Rakim, EPMD, LL Cool J, X-Clan

High On Fire/Priestess/Black Cobra/Bison b.c. tonight at the triple rock, paired delightfully w/free bacon night in the bar side. i will be there.

My friends and I are going to Acid Mothers Temple instead at 7th St. Still adjusting to living in a place where there are two totally awesome things to do in one night let alone one week.

Matt OTM about that Pierced Arrows show. I got so trampled. In a great way.

Astonished I'm not immediately dropping everything in my life for 'free bacon night' tbh.

i have to move tomorrow so no shows for me tonight :(

also missed pentagram tuesday cuzza packing.

WHAT IN THE HELL HOW DID I MISS AN AMT SHOW

well you havent yet

In fact I am on my way to it nowish. It's right over there.

i got bros coming over to drink beers in the backyard u_u

the doctor will be a heghog, by god

btw kudos to JJ for an excellent and apropos (in my life) screen name

i do it out of love

hey hey my usual really advance notice steez here but Sleepytime Gorilla Museum is playing at the triple rock tonight and if you haven't seen them, you really really should. consistently one of my favorite live shows over the past several years.

noted ilx luminary fluffy bear will also be there, and as long as you dont let him corner you behind the dumpster in the back parking lot, a good time will be had by all.

will be out of town :(

i will not be attending but i can vouch for the awesomeness of SGM live

what kinda stuff do
they play

kinda hard to describe, weirdo mutant avant metal i guess? violin, sheet metal, guitars.

ever heard art bears? thats prob the #1 influence i guess.

gbx should come out, fun will be had, also rrrabies.

well i blew it :(

Dude

Not to be a dick, but holy shit.

Hopefully they will keep up the once a year visit? Next year i will be a total pain in the ass in order to make you go to this show.

Well shit.

I was not on the internet.

But anyway, this is a ways of, but UHHH GUYS:

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii317/RabitesAngelatin/n109499822423140_7432.jpg

Oh I suck at...remembering to use bbcode at all. And spelling. But like...

:o

TBH mostly pumped for GOD BULLIES. Bcz I am a fan.

LIGHTNING BOLT

LIGHTNING BOLT!!!!!!!!

c u there foolz

oh my god guys i am trying to crawl out of hangover chasm, but i will most likely still force myself to go to this show

might be sold out :-[

ohhhhh man and it's probably too late to buy on internets??? :(

ok lol, so, my gf and i are going to go right now and and see if we can buy tickets and just come back to the show later, does anyone want me to grab them one??

if they are available??

btw if peeps can't go to the am rep thing (i don't think i can and i guess it's sold out already anyway)

hammerhead is playing another gig at the turf and the bill is about perfecto:

Hammerhead/Seawhores/Stnnng @ Turf Club - Thursday August 12th - $10

oh man sold out already. bummer. and i wasn't super huge on the hammerhead stuff i heard :\

Well sold out show makes hangover decision easier I guess :(

sorry bros

i think there is a second, smaller night of the am rep thing now though...

not sure if they have tickets held back for the door, but i got a facebook update a couple days ago saying 9 tickets were left for the main show

hey i just bought tickets for lightning bolt online? like 5 minutes ago?

http://www.ticketfly.com/tickets/event-details/?tfly_event_id=7951

and then i printed the will call thing

i hope that worked

man, apparently the Bedlam Theatre is getting pushed out of it's current location to make way for a mosque. Their rooftop patio is one of the best things about summer here.

its, not it's, goddammit

yeah that sucks :(

i wonder how this will affect the status of the other Top Secret Venue Place nearby?

omg u r fucking kidding, i love the bedlam patio :((((((((

yeah and TSVP might not last long---far too depraved

also YAY for getting ticks

my bro also told me that tickets were available online, so snap em up JJ!!!!

JJ STATUS UPDATE

Ok shit I was nowhere near this thread for the past 3 hours so I had no idea there were maybe tickets so goddamn goddamn dumb dumb me

J REATARD IMO

omg that was

~~LOUD~~

i bounced

i surfed on ppl

i had been lead to believe that my girlfriend and myself got the last ticket, and the one that overbooked it, but you made it too?

i bought my tickets like two months ago!

Glad I have seen these dudes a couple times before because otherwise i would be so goddamn angry right now.

would been cool to see yall there tho.

so, how was lightning bolt?

(sorry i didn't answer your txt jjj, it's been a busy week

)

do other peeps dig A FRAMES? they are coming to the turf in august

xxpost

no prob dude, lets get drinks this weekend/week

yeah totes

yeah i'm super excited, a-frames are like one of the best bands in the last decade imo

but who knows i'm gonna be dad so maybe i'll never go to a show again!

JJ-

if you aren't too mad at me for liking velvet underground, let me call your attention to this!

Oct 17 - Triple Rock Social Club
SUNDAY NOMEANSNO

NOMEANSNO define post-modernist hardcore. In a word (or several), they are intelligent, articulate, studied, thoughtful, violent, passionate, intense, and playful. Acclaimed by peers and adored by fans, this musically adept trio has consistently thrilled sweaty crowds around the world. The band is a punk rock success story, albeit on their own terms, well hidden beneath the radar of the music industry.

$12 ADVANCE TICKETS/ $14 AT THE DOOR
ADVANCE TICKETS AVAILABLE ONLINE, AT THE TRIPLE ROCK, RED'S SAVOY PIZZA IN UPTOWN AND NOW ALSO AT ECLIPSE RECORDS ON UNIVERSITY IN ST. PAUL!

Yes yes yes yea yes!!!!

i have always managed to miss them...this time will be different.

Love Nomeansno

seen them twice in mpls (once at the lol foxfire) amazing both times. so excited about this

oh foxfire, how i don't miss your insane exposed brick wall acoustics

yeah dude i had to mix sound there a couple of times it was THE WORST

guys i don't even know who these dudes ARE

O_O

fucking rhythmically insano canadian ehhh kinda not really punk band that also happens to be mainly two super old dudes that are actual brothers

they are unfuckingbelievable. you will like them i am pretty much certain.

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwsbaygpGS1qzzvv4o1_400.gif

sounds really cool! love AQ too...but i'm not really at the going to shows again.

btw JJ i was gonna suggest New Labor to you...they are pretty cool, and bascially are doing the single most unfashionable thing I could think of, which is sorta channel like 1990 Alt Tentacles alice donut/nomeansno spazz punk with jazzy breakdowns and general silliness...

this is the only video i could find but they can be kinda all over the place

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUuGCHzNPXw

(former members of amish armada if you recall the world's greatest joke band)

hahaha ok i thought i recognized some of those dudes

Media Addicts

oh damn, that's the dude you were telling us about right

boo mad we're missing this

the only sensible solution to avoid such things in the future is to move back to mn obv

lol that new labor youtube. "we really thought those replacements videos could have stepped it up just a bit"

DOOOOOOOOOODS

nomeansno is tomorrow

DOOOOOOOOOODS

nomeansno is tomorrow

when/where? unlikely I can make it but its a slim poss

wait fuck what

arrrggghh 1349 is really fucking great and i havent seen them

holy shit nomeansno was FUCKING FANTASTIC

tonight! the bbq is no joke.

was already planning on checking this out, but, there's bbq??

yeah, erik started a bbq catering company in mpls (six-one-two 'cue) and they're providing food at set break. i asked if there will be anything for my veggie gf, and heard something about 'heirloom grits with white cheddar & fennel slaw'.

oh shit!!

plz fedex me some q

this was good!!

i saw only the 2nd set (friday was a long day) and had no bbq, but, good show! good crowd too.

i hope you guys got away ok

eagerly awaiting fedexed q

oh hey, thanks for coming! i had fun, and it was definitely the best crowd we've had there so far. ate too much bbq.

yeah i was not emotionally prepared for all that snow, but we chilled out on saturday, played a wedding in st paul that night, and drove back on sunday without a problem.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLg-yXbADUY

anyway, dig them

Hrrrm there seems to be a whole bunch of weather in the way if the rock and roll so idk

yeah that was kinda nail-in-coffin for me, but now i have to go back out in this shit anyway, cuz I just remembered I have zero clean laundry, because i left it all at KG's, where i had intended to do it but then didn't, and blurrgh i gotta wait in the snow and wait for the goddamn 16 fuckin bullshit

i was srsly considering that one, but i dont think its in the cards :(

these shows will be totally nutso smasho

this winter completely turned me into Only Hangs Out w/ His Girlfriend hermit guy and i must remedy this. by rocking

buh. work/not payday yet getting in way of the 14th show.

wide open for the meatmen, tho. i found a tesco vee tape at work. looking forward to this.

i've been playing with advance base, which is the new project of 0wen from c@siotone for the p@infully al0ne. they're playing at the ceder cultural center in minneapolis on june 6, and i will likely be playing at this show. it's very quiet, sad music, with lots of waltzes, and i am playing autoharp (!?!) and maybe a little omnichord. if gbx reads this, then he should know that j0dy will also be playing in this ensemble.

http://advancebasemusic.com/kirby.gif

anyways the point is if any of you want to come out to that and meet me, that would be nice. but i understand if you don't.

cool i'll try to stop by, the cedar is v charming esp the older ex hippie type granola folx that run it :)

ill try to make it out as well, but this will prob hinge on my memory which is garbage so

BIG BUSINESS
TORCHE
HELMS ALEE

― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, April 26, 2011 1:43 PM (1 month ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

just a reminder that this is this coming monday. we are playing a carter family song and a john prine song in addition to the originals.

that is tonight, btw!

apparently the cedar has recently revamped their A/C so you know that quiet tunes in a ~chill~ environment is just what u need

oh shit that is tonight! let me figure out whats going on here. goddamnit.

n/a when do you start?

730

anticipating mountain goats at the varsity tonight! i haven't gone out for music (or much else) in a shamefully long time. ~good times in irl~

disappointed that i missed n/a in town! i have not been ilxing much lately, either.

also anticipating!!! haven't gotten a ticket yet (a little steep for what i usually go to), but i'll probably pull the trigger this afternoon

oh shit i knew i was forgetting something

how was the thing last week?

couldnt make it to n/a show on time, but got to drink at the triple rock with him and it was cool. n/a ur a good dude!

so should i just preemptively post "couldn't make it to the n/a show on time" to the posts very much out of character thread or

METAL ALERT:

tuesday at station 4
Children of Bodom, Devin Townsend Project, Septicflesh, Obscura

late response but it was nice meeting jjusten and seeing my old brah gbx in the twin cities! i ate veggie dogs with sauerkraut.

sorry about all the cotton

GASTRO NON GRATA tomorrow at first ave. Zebulon Pike STNNNG some other dudes, lots of food. I'm going with pals, you should too

I agree! I am in chicago for night 2 of archers but gastro is a great event and zp and stnnng are two of the best bands in town, plus I guess the cake boss dude from ace of cakes has a prog metal band that's playing too

debating whether or not to see harvey milk/gay witch abortion 2nite at trock

me too

i'm already wiped out for the night (kickball in 100 degrees) but this does sound tasty

All 30 of us who are here are going to have a great time

8[

sorry brudda

is it hotter than a crusty's armpit in a railyard in there or what

Not that bad really! No people!

Ok spoke too soon

time for the main event, huh

you guys

O.O

that was pretty much the best show i have seen this year, i am hassling you all into going to see Harvey Milk the next time they come here

ok dudes

big business/torche/helms alee at the triple rock tomorrow

i go to this

Hey

HEY!

so tonight you mean

Yes!

reading about the new dave king trucking co. record, i suddenly remembered that i paid for a zebulon pike record from their website like five years ago and never got it :/

theyre nice dudes, i would hit them up with an email and see what they say

so, little dog on top of a big dog? yea or nay? good band? not?

i like the name.

ha, yeah, like that

"outsider folk" eehhhhhhh

lol n/m

btw duders Skoal Kodiak got signed to LOAD!

noise rock big leagues!

never heard em---worth checking I guess?

eh

ok to be fair lots of people dig them, ive just had nightmare problems doing sound for dudes old band quad muth because well he was a complete asshole.

on the bright side, you went home with honey

huh?

Idgi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWYU9lPYn3o

I am progressive and support change and everything but the new version of the mel-o honey bear shits honey out of his asshole and that upsets me.

this isn't really a show it's a

KIELBASA FESTIVAL i repeat KIELBASA FESTIVAL

http://www.kramarczuk.com/entertainment/events/

so guys apparently GAY WITCH ABORTION and STNNNG and SOME OTHER BAND are playing at....the Cabooze. And opening for.....HELMET.

wtf

still kinda tempted to pay $20 to see GWA and STNNNG though

haha yeah it's too rich for my blood but this show will be nuts

yeah it's a bit steep....also just found out that GWA is playing for free tomorrow

where?

but yeah HELMET!! crazy

i have never been to the cabooze fyi

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=128292283933772

page not found?

http://www.coexhibitions.com/

apocalyptic mongoloid exhibit, one night only

music by Sea Whores, Gay WItch Abortion, others

i wonder who is even in helmet these days, i think frank bello is back in anthrax full time

page not found?

lol

i dunno, man

says the website:

Kyle Stevenson, who joined Helmet in 2006, guitarist Dan Beeman, who’s been on board since 2008, and long-time Helmet bassist Chris Traynor.

!!! pretty sure Dan Beeman is an Mpls dude from We Invented Tornados

i meant page hamilton that time

joeks :/

whoa dan beeman was the dude from King Can right? thats crazy. i used to hang out w/him and his brother pete back in the day

yep that's him for sure, i was drawing a blank on king can

so i don't know how it went after i left but the gay witch abortion thing was apparently just bands playing in the basement of this building, videotaped, and streamed onto a projection screen in the gallery space. which was....whack, imo.

gff did you stay long enough to see gwa? did they switch it up and have them set up on stage, or was it all ~via satellite~

no, i didn't stay long at all! we'd had kind of a long day, after looking at all the art and having a beer we bailed and watched snl.

i guess i didn't 'get' that about the live streaming. from the basement.

Enslaved/Alcest/local dudes I know tonight at station 4

didn't go but reports say that helmet was really great!

my old boss tried really hard to get me into Enslaved, it didn't really take

hey guys, any suggestions for mpls venues that i could look into for booking my solo project (chants)? instrumental beat-oriented stuff, sampler & drums. my best shows have been for rock/indie/hipsterish audiences as opposed to dance clubs. i've only played there with the brass band, so i don't have many connections in other scenes.

speaking of which, i'm playing at the nomad on the 15th with mama digd0wn's brass band. as always, we'll be cooking food and serving it free at set break.

Hexagon maybe? Lemme think on it a little

331? kitty cat klub?

idk the back-of-house operations anywhere, just thinking of places where i've seen that kind of thing before.

kitty kat club would be good for something like that

thanks!

also if you strike out at regular venues, perhaps a super secret xxx venue very close to the nomad (which is apparently not to be spoken of on the internet but send me a webmail)

http://www.pagefarm.net/wiki/images/b/b7/Spies.jpg

secrets!

shared with another girl

yes I will quote Cure lyrics at any opportunity

perhaps a super secret xxx venue very close to the nomad

ilx-only living room show, yessss

I'm sure Henry will enjoy it v.v. much

it's medxxx

apparently they are really paranoid :/

not surprising, i guess, but it's not like it's ever really a secret when something's going on there ime

my showgoing this evening is looking like it will be defeated by my abject laziness

what show

enslaved/alcest/etc

what better way to start the week than weirdo french depressive black metal and enslaved right

isn't that next monday

n/m, stupid

i am going to memory lanes for a friend's b-day. her bf is playing, but i have no idea if they suck or not

isn't that next monday

n/m I m dum

what the hell

U r dum and stupid

Anything totes pwning happening between now and the 14th?

I'm in town for the indie comix festival at the Soap Factory (come visit my table this wkend!) and will have my mom's car. It's a long visit and i don't have much on my calendar after the comix event...

Saw that Cynic is playing... Meat Pups at the Turf Club is tempting...

Meat Puppets were lots o fun when I saw them at the 400 Bar, and Turf Club is far preferable.

still don't know what this super seekrut venue is! lol not cool anymore

I'd recommend checking out the shows page on the modern radio board - apparently Brute Heart are playing on the 5th w/a bunch of other all-lady bands, they're rad.

psst u want address?

sure, this webmail works iirc

yeah i was at that meat puppets show at the 400 which was amazing, despite the bad vibes of the venue...the turf is a killer rock bar

btw thx joestork :)

Sorry I missed the show, but loving Brute Heart on Spotify.

soft abuse is an amazing label, doesn't get enough attention in mpls

birthday suits/blind shake/stnnng/http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f140/doodoo2/Mr.gif tonight at the turf! $7! All killer no filler!

oh god damn it

#4 - is g4y w1tch 4bort1on

I have to watch the bbay tonight, I guess stnnng killed their ac/dc covers set at the turf on nye....they had confetti cannons for ...for those about to rock

Hey gbx u still in town?

hahahahahahahaha

Damn ur eyes u scum

i'll be there w/some bros

looks like the band i play with will likely be playing at st. olaf college in northfield on feb. 25 if anyone wants to make the trek down there for some reason.

anything worthwhile this weekend? specifically friday? need to get outta town for a night.

will be attending both guitar wolf and acid mothers temple in april btw

i'm sick but if i recover i want to go to the Total Fucking Blood CD release w/Marijuana Deathsquads and Thunderbolt Pagoda (who are heavy heavy psych that i would imagine appeal to you if you like acid mothers) at the Turf Club on Friday

Northfield was pretty fun btw. Terrible pizza though.

what is this about heavy heavy psych this friday

Heavy psych comes home to midway

That's a beauty of a poster. 9 out of 10 shows I think i want to go to I wimp out on, cuz I'm old and lame, but I really want to go to this.

I missed stnnng and marijuana deathsquads last night due to not getting my ass out the door at a reasonable hour

same story w/me except i have a baby

bumping for amt. I'm getting out, of the house, doing something.

i'm thinking of going to white denim? but i have no sense of whether it will sell out

huh

indeed.

guhhh still at the dumb hospital because my attending hasn't staffed our pts yet oh god what is the dang hold up

really want to see amt but ive got an overnight shift starting at 0700 tomorrow, medicine does not mix well with ~youth culture~

haha,well, theres a beer waitin if ya make it

"last tour in u.s. and canada 2012" says a shirt at the merch booth???!!?111

well shit

is anyone going to school of 7 bells tomorrow? i've... never heard their music tbh

ok ha the youtubes i just dialed up are familiar to me

School of 7 bells are a+++ live but thx to not knowing they were playing tomorrow I slacked tonight and prob should get actual things done tomorrow.

Well shit

huh school of seven bells! i'm so out of it.

jonathan richman tonight

that was the most wonderful thing

I feel kinda weird hyping my own band as 'totes awesome,' but this was a last-minute booking, so we can use all the peeps we can get. If any Twin Citians are looking for a free thing to do tonight, I'm playing at Lee's Liquor Lounge, 9:30. (Love the place, and this is the first time I've been able to get my new band in there.)

HOLY JANDEK

I think it's just at the MSU Performing Arts Center. And yeah, rabies, the Shuffle Function folks (and maybe Dave P).

zebulon pike/hardcore crayons/self evident cd release show tonight, be there or get totes PWNED

Buuuuump

choices choices!

Kenny Millions w/ Cock ESP + Cognitive Dissonance + Brain Tumors + Tips for Twat
@ Hexagon Bar

God Damn Doo Wop Band + The Turkeltons + The Slow Death + The Blendors
@ Cause Spirits and Soundbar

i just saw tips for twat recently and they were really odd and compelling. guitars kind of in a US maple mode, but in a slow, quiet way, lots of empty space. and moaning.

haha yeah someone told me they were great but that name...man....talk about a name that does not inspire me to venture out of the house

i saw them at the turf at a not-very-well-attended show. some old goober leans over the bar and asks the bartender WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT and the bartender beams back THESE ARE MY FRIENDS IN AN AWESOME BAND

really cool if you have patience

I want to google this band so much but I know it will end in tears

Headed to Minneapolis for the first time ever in October.
Any recommendations re: venues, local artists?

I don't know about local artists these days, but two Oct. shows that look intersting are Mike Watt @ the Turf Club (St. Paul) on 10/7 and Com Truise @ the Triple Rock (Mpls) on 10/17.

october 4th - firewater w/ani cordero at the cedar cultural center.
october 19th - witch mountain w/castle at the turf club.

TURF CLUB & FREEDOM FROM PRESENT:
SIC ALPS | ROBUST WORLDS
Doors 9:00 PM | $10.00 | Main Stage

also a really great country band The Cactus Blossoms play for free every monday night at the Turf Club, RIYL: hank williams sr

btw future of the left are playing the triple rock on election night, i will be there nervously boozing

oh that could be kinda cool

though i don't really go out on election nite cuz of this one super demoralizing night when bush beat kerry

and yeah the cactus blossoms are killer killer good, hank sr with a ton of other old school country influences and everly brothers vocals

oh nice - thanks!
stoked to visit.

lol at "really cool if you have patience." I, uh, don't have sufficient patience, I guess...

guys GWA and Big Business were...fucking rad

Melvins on Wednesday??!?!??

oh shiiiiiiiiiiit how did I not know about Melvins?! I WILL DO THIS THING.

it's at grumpy's downtown, which will be a little nuts, i predict, that room is SMALL

They're gonna set up a stage in the parking lot.

ohhhhhh

but they make everyone go inside and watch through the door

Melvins did not fail to deliver.

Anyone else going to Swans & Xiu Xiu tonight?

i saw swans last time....was definitely universe pummeling! but i don't know if i can take it again

oh god that's really tempting

i read somewhere that xiu xiu is super bad on this tour, he is just purposely being as abrasive as possible, which could be cool but mostly just sounds annoying, will show up hoping i miss most of it. swans were pretty pummeling last time but not overly loud, sorta hoping they amp it up this time around, i want to be almost unbearably loud. ahahahaha i'm excited

I am on a beer/bike ride instead

friends are posting about the show on fb and i'm drinking by myself bein real jealous. it's a lot better than it sounds

Some friendly hippies from Duluth just got me stoned in the alley here, so I don't suppose I'll mind if Xiu Xiu sucks. ^_^

drinking by yourself rules

I brought ear plugs. The door guy warned me about how insanely loud it would be. I have my doubts, having seen sunn o))).

^hey are you two newerish mn ilxors or old ones w/ new names

i can't keep up w/ this place

that'd be great if they were outrageously loud, but yeah i have my doubts as well because they really weren't that loud last time. but i still have some earplugs even though i hate wearing them. also i'm an ilx newbie fyi

Man Xiu Xiu is lugubrious.

...old ilxor, I guess? I have never posted very much till just lately. I used to be ctrl-s and, before that, xero.

oh okay!

Wait, didn't you used to be "rabies"?

yes

Okay. ....I just overheard someone say "avant-garde," very seriously.

I'm not digging Xiu Xiu. Oh well.

Okay that was pretty cool.

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

yeah that fucking ruled. that one song gira said was 'in progress' was fucking ludicrous. too bad he didn't seem happy with the show. my ears are ringing pleasantly.

that fucking ruled

otm (despite aforementioned probs w/ the vocals, for which Gira apologized to the audience & had clearly been super-irritated by all thru the 2+-hour show)

I wanted to see the Blind Shake for $5 @ the Ritz tonite, but after Swans last night & Melvins Weds night I just haven't got it in me. A shame, bcz I <3 the Blind Shake so.

sad to hear michael gira wasn't his usual bubbly self

he wasn't being a prima donna or an asshole or anything, he was just justifiably upset with some of the sound and then i'm pretty sure the band missed some cues at a certain point, which has to be frustrating.

Mission of Burma foolz

(tomorrow @ 400 Bar)

dirty three on friday at the cedar

oh shit really? i completely forgot about that band

i'm still so pissed off at what they've done to ruin the sound at the 400 bar i'm not even going to see one of my favorite bands ever (MoB)....fucking dicks ugggg the archers show sound was soooo bad

what changed? i never much liked that bar but i don't remember it sounding great like ever

trans am gave me hearing damage there, so when i'm famous they'll put a plaque on the wall for that

well it used to sound "Ok"...basically they built a new wall dividing the stage part of the room from the bar part...which totally fucked up the acoustics and blocks off all the sightlines from the bar side....like just go! it's the most retarded renovation i've ever seen in my life

:(

that's crazy, i remember when they opened it up even more than it was (i think?)

i mean it's burma...i also really hate the bigger sullivan brother because of a personal interaction when we played there so i'm kinda biased.

i mean it's burma

yeah I don't even care how shitty it sounds, I sorta have to go? gonna get there earlyish so I can position myself for "optimum" acoustic reception though.
