Ok, it's really the 302 Acid/Fatales/Jakuta and Carl roll call, but I figure there might be one or two of you going cause you want to support the site. So, who's up for insane amounts of laptop fun?
-
Well, this went well. Hopefully the bands have some fans on other boards.
-
is this tonight? i am out of das loop.
-
Well...between the High Dials, the 9:30 Anniversary show, Kraftwerk (some people going both nights), WSC/Exit Clov, Spoon and the Erasure shows, it's a pretty busy 7-10 days. We gotta rest sometime.
Or maybe everyone's going to see Travis Morrison instead.

Yeah, for real, dude, you're one of my favorite posters on here, but still that's almost too easy not to make a joke...

Oh Christ, that was a mess....all the worse because of that big crush I had on Markie (according to Rhett) so I went in for a kiss from your girl... :cool: Hey, it was my birthday -- cut me some slack!

Sorry, i should reiterate, Thursday night @ DC9. And sonic, the problem wasn't that Bags was mistaking your gfriend for Markie, it was that you were mistaking your gfriend for Markie.

And it WAS my birthday! :) yes, and my girlfriend was quite "tipsy" and tends to get a little excitable (for no good reason) when shes had a few.

One last shot to the music lovers out there. And if you can't make it to this one, please go to the Exit Clov/WSC show tomorrow night.
but why not do both!!

Hey chief - Pitchfork listed BJM dates in their news section today and the BigYawn at the 9 date was a notable omission.
Just envision the flood of people you'd have gotten if they'd reported it...

Well, if it's any consolation - and I'm CERTAIN it is - I'll be there. Hell, I'll even buy you a drink!
-

I am on the fence for this. Love to see 302 Acid again. But going all the way down there when I want to go biking after work...

The omission has been corrected.They have a few dates between NYC and DC as well but are not yet confirmed..... Indie rock's most lovable dysfunctional family, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, have recently announced a string of live dates poised to put your Paxil prescription to the test this summer. The band will kick off the outing with a June 11 appearance at Patti Smith's Meltdown Festival in London (which will also include sets from Television, Billy Bragg, Yoko Ono, and Eels, among others), following it up with 6-date UK tour as openers for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (2/3 of whom are former Jonestown contributors). The Massacre will then head back to North America for a 13-show trek through early August-- which includes a set at this year's Lollapalooza Festival. Bringing it all back home, again:

# with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
And while no new Brian Jonestown Massacre album is currently on the roster, the band have seen themselves suddenly thrust back into the limelight this past year, thanks to the feature length documentary Dig! which won the Grand Jury Prize for Documentary at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. Once poised as "the next big thing," the film paints a passionate, yet drug-addled portrait of the band's leader, Anton Newcombe, as he walks a fine line of complete career meltdown-- chronicling a 7-year stretch of the band's shenanigans alongside that of famously well-adjusted musical allies the Dandy Warhols.
In a 2004 post on the official Jonestown site, Newcombe aimed to distance himself from the award-winning film, writing: "I was shocked and let down when I saw the end result. Several years of our hard work was reduced at best to a series of punch-ups and mishaps taken out of context, and at worst bold faced lies and misrepresentation of fact. I accept that people will make up their own minds about this film when they see it. I just feel ripped off by the 'lowest common denominator' culture machine (something I don't cater to)."
