Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition

the new album does kinda blow (haven't listened to the whole thing, but what I've heard is lame)
they do play 6-7 of them a night
but they play like 28 songs a night...so I think it's a good deal still

I've never even heard the new album and like you said, 25 songs that are classics is good enough for me. I ALMOST bought an extra ticket yesterday but was concerned I'd get stuck with it. Good luck Sidehatch!

sold out now!

Exactly, 6-7 new songs isn't going to change that much the show. It all depends how much you need to see them again (if you're a fan) and if you can afford to see larger bands.

I really don't think the songs are that bad. It's so difficult to live up to that pressure and expectation. Even "Trompe Le Monde" was a BRILLIANT record that people sorta pan because it wasn't "Doolittle" or "Surfer Rosa". "Bossanova" got some crummy reviews...it's a fantastic LP. Black Francis is a genius. I saw him do two solo shows in San Francisco about 5 or 6 years ago and they were polar opposites. But both nights he had Eric Drew Feldman join him on stage and it was some of the best live music I've ever seen. It'll be a fun time if you want it to be.

Oh yeah brother, they are bad.

They definitely aren't Swans or Swervedriver.  It's cool, at least they have some classic albums.

[hutch]

gotta admit i have not heard new album....

did kim deal participate in it?

[killsaly]

No, not at all.  Paz from a Perfect Circle plays bass on it.

[hutch]

No, not at all.  Paz from a Perfect Circle plays bass on it.

oh ok..thanks
well then its not a Pixies album.....its a Frank Black album..

[shemptiness]

Does anybody have any info on the Church / Furs show?  It doesn't appear on the FSS or Church sites.

[bearman🐻]

No, not at all.  Paz from a Perfect Circle plays bass on it.

oh ok..thanks

Hey Hutch, have you ever listened to "Teenager of the Year"? It's got a bit of filler on it, but about 90% of it is pretty much perfect in my book. It's a stunning LP and one of the most rewarding things Black Francis/Frank Black ever did. I love the Pixies probably more than anyone but I will still sing the praises of the Man. That LP has held up for 21 years.

Beruit 11/3 Lincoln

How much are tickets? I'm guessing $175.

I bought every Frank Black album for a good while.. I feel like its been going downhill but I have a friend who swears by Frank Black and the Catholics...

I read a book bout the Pixies..an oral history... what I learned was that most of the Pixies songs were written by the first album....I think Frank Black/Black Francis/Charles Sumner/DJ Kooko just ran out of inspiration or something.......

Anyways, the Pixies stuff is more than enough greatness for one lifetime

Dean Ween Group (Ween minus Gene version) - 8/27

Yeah looks like the rest of the band is going to be there
pretty big step up from the otto bar
Freeman couldn't even fill the blowtel

I hope it does well, but thankfully won't sell out
 
$25...was kinda thinking this would be a $15 show

looks like no Guy either....which is probably a good thing
He was good, but IMO he couldn't carry the whole night?

[ye-ole-hatch ıll|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

yo la tengo at linc- 9/25

man looks like September is going to be a busy month for this board
surprised they upgraded to the Lincoln
seemed like their star was fading
