  Yay to all of you coming to BigYawn night. And for those of you planning on going to Q and Not U, the Bigger Lover should be done by 1030 or 11, so you will still have time to wander over to the Cat to catch them.
 

That's what I'm gonna try to do, although I still may leave a little early so I can catch Decahedron at the BC.  I definitely want to stop by though.

[brennser]

I'll definitely be at 50'~
 
 and hopefully will be able to stop by at some stage on friday

Walkie, do you know the details about this place?  I'd love to make it out, but I'm a little leary since it seems like it's gonna run real late.

After hearing about their Black Cat gig, I'll try and make it out to this as well.

Wasn't the Standard the first band for the Hives/Mooney Suzuki gig 2 summers ago @ the Black Cat?
 
 Crazy, crazy show.

Uninspired.  Trite.  Overdone.  Bleh.
 
 Saw them at Iota and was super-underwhelmed.  Canned sounding.  Overplaying British stereotypes.  "We're the fu*king Thrills."

nicely put - I can't understand the fuss over these guys

It's the end of their tour and Sitek's homecoming gig, so it should be a good one...if they play half as well as they did at the black cat, it'll be worth it.
 
 the details:
 the show is in a private duplex in Baltimore owned by a couple of good looking indie types that moonlight in a band called the Hush.  
 more info  on their site
 doors at 8, and there are a bunch of bands so my best guess is TVOTR at about midnight.

i'll shed a little more light on this show, as it should be a damn good one.
 
 the supreme imperial is run by george france and his soon-to-be wife (this show is a going-away celebration for their honeymoon or something). france was the drummer in the convocation of, and an awesome one at that. these two are also in the hush, who are the obvious de facto house band for the supreme imperial. also in the hush is tonie joy, the legendary post-punk singer/guitarist who has formed and fronted many a fantastic band in baltimore, including moss icon, the universal order of armageddon, the great unraveling, and the convocation of.
 
 there are three other opening bands, apparently: birdland, apollo heights, and the six parts seven. birdland is a duo of katrina ford and sean antanaitis, formerly the singer and guitarist of love life, who were one of the best birthday party-influenced bands of the last decade. i saw birdland open for tv on the radio and firewater in december and they were great. i know nothing of apollo heights, and i think that the six parts seven are a band on suicide squeeze records (764-hero, red stars theory, hella, etc).
 
 anyway, this should be a fun night with lots of solid, diverse music, and i will most likely be there.

[walkman]

just to complete the info -
 
 Apollo Heights is the new project of the Chavis brothers who formed the Chapel Hill soul/shoegaze band the Veldt.  Don't know what the new stuff sounds like, but it's probably good.
 
 The 6 Parts 7 are indeed on suicide squeeze records, and play instrumental music... like Explosions in the Sky with an americana fetish.  I like their sound quite a bit.
 
 Don't know Birdland from experience, but I hear good things about them.

that was pretty crazy...I don't remember if the Standard opened, but then again, I don't remember that night particularly clearly, period.

[snailhook]

we are total nerds, hahaha.
 
 the veldt were good and very unique, so apollo heights should be interesting.
 
 i am never steered wrong with suicide squeeze, and explosions in the sky-like instrumentals with a dash of americana sounds real cool to me. kind of like scenic perhaps? or rex? (remember them?)
 
 walkie, you wil like birdland if you like the birthday party, love life, the get hustle, shannon wright, etc.
 
 yeah, i'll be going to this for sure now.
