the WFMU FREE MUSIC SERIES continues at da Southpaw, Sat night 10/13

do these things typically fill up?

The first one was never packed-to-the-gills, but it was pretty crowded between 10:30-12:30. And Oneida has a higher profile than that show's bands, I think.

that is an interesting bill!

shit that looks great

another case where I almost wish it WASN'T free

also does anyone like Black Mountain, they're playing Southpaw next Thurs (not free), might try to go to that

who is simply saucer

I would be all over this. Alan Vega's first solo album has been on heavy rotation in my car. Ice Drummer!

Simply Saucer=awesome Canadian psych punk! At least, that album Cyborgs Revisited. Not as into the more straightforward stuff.

another case where I almost wish it WASN'T free

srsly

Simply Saucer is one of those acts that never released an album and hence became legends!

(oh ppl, no one in NYC goes to shit early, get there by 9 and you'll be fine)

10 even

haha that is we we all said about 77 drum!

less Insufferable Snob appeal here and NO RSVP

(if the NY Times Arts sec runs a piece on Simply Saucer this Sun, all bets are off obv)

Hm it's in my hood, too bad I do not like Oneida. :/

don't say that on ilx

well, the other bands sound nothing like oneida, laurel!

Cope has a long writeup on his website abt Simply Saucer in an old Album Of The Month column.

I had no idea they were reactivated...!

If any of the bands don't suit ya, retire to the DJ lounge downstairs.

let's hit this up early

xp You mean the bathroom?

I gotta "leave my schedule open" Sat nite as my friend might/might not have a +1 for Melvins/Big Business.

xp

not the john! The room where the FMU johns and janes will be spinning.

fuck the bathrooms at southpaw and fuck the bouncers there too.

do they have bathroom attendants with a tip jar? i forget

jon lewis, i thought the melvins show was THIS saturday

no, the sinks are outside the pissoir there!

Vic, no way! Southpaw is not fancy in no way.

never released an album

^^^untrue.

simply saucer are awesome, and i think rrrobyn saw their montreal reunion and said it was good?

hey, the album came out in '89 long after they (initially) disbanded, no?

xpost Er... Indeed it is, Bell! I saw "Sat." and didn't register "10/13".

But THAT saturday I will be in Bethesda Maryland for the Small Press Expo, drinking myself blind with nerdz.

jon lewis, pick up a copy of "maggots" while yer there.
got it the other day--mindboggling.

The Maggot-- I think I have that-- that's the one with a cover of "Green Manalishi" on it right? Really good album.

i meant the new brian chippendale book, but i like the melvins too.

bump

This will also be a book release party for Dave the Spazz's new book entitled The Best of LCD: The Art and Writing of WFMU, copies of which will be available at the show. There will also be two floors of WFMU DJs trading sets all night long, so come early and stay late! There are no advanced tickets for this show, admission is first come, first served.

Are you a VIP douchebag?

i'm going to a birthday dinner at 8 but then going to try to head over to this and see if i can get it.

no, i'm a cut 'n paste douchebag, and you [SELF-CENSORED TO AVOID ANOTHER BORING BAN]

If only I could ban you from being boring!

simply saucer is so awesome and reason enough to go, fules.

I should be dere from 9pm on, talking to my OLDER friends before they go home to resume child-rearing and home maintenance.

i can't make it til 10-11 morbs but if i can still get in i'll see you there!

we're gonna go up at 9 I think

i'll be there and may be doing merch for one of the bands.

(that's my vip douchebag hook-up.)

I'll be there, and probably early, since my friend's DJ slot is at 9:30.

kool!

i might show up to this.

All right, cool. Put me down for 9-9.30.

laurel, i'll text you when we're in the area. i think we might get a few drinks at o'connor's first...

hi i don't understand dates

i showed up to this.

oneida were sooooooooooo great.

how was simply saucer?

they were good! the beginning of the set most of their songs were short and poppy/garagey but toward the end they did a couple longer space jamz with the theremin.

hell everything was good. not that many four-band bills I'm willing to sit through nowadays but I liked everything. did go downstairs during part of alan vega but the song he did w/ oneida to end the set was cool.

said hi to a lotta people, fun night. I bought a Enemy Hogs from Lauren.

ol' south p

rocket usa with oneida backing was pretty amazing.

I liked SS bcz they were more straight-ahead psych than I expected.

Alan Vega was kind of, um, the ranting exhumed corpse of Roy Orbison. (If Oneida had backed him throughout it mighta saved the spectacle.)

sanskrit, you calendar-challenged knave!

THIS SOUND IS ILLEGAL

i'm sad i missed this! my friend's birthday dinner did not end until 10:45ish and i heard they were at capacity so i just went home.

The place was at cap for Simply Saucer but had cleared out a fair bit by the middle of Oneida's set. Pretty sure there was no line after SS.

was oneida the last band to play? when i drove by at 11 there seemed to be a line (but maybe just people standing around outside?)

yes, Oneida probably went on close to 12:30.
