Mission of Burma

[Sir HC]

So, they were concidered a four piece band, 3 on stage and their sound guy who did lots of effects and manipulations to their sound. Is that what is happening on this tour?

According to Pitchfork today, in earlier shows Martin Swope was not there and Bob Weston of Shellac was doing tape loops.

all I know is, is that that band the oxes that's opening for M.O.B, is that when they opened for Isis, a friend of mine got on stage during the Oxes set and played a beer bottle with a dildo, or maybe he played a dildo with a beer bottle, either way makes for a good story. go Isis

I'm looking forward to this show. The blurb in the City Paper says Bob Weston will fill in for Swope.

*THWACK*  The sound of me kicking myself, because I'm unable to attend.

[Sir HC]

So does he just do the tapes or mix the whole band?

I thought they came out of the gate kicking with Peking Spring.  I am impressed that Roger Miller can play with all the ear protection and low sound levels he had going.

A question about Friday night for the staph -  Why were people being patted down as they entered? I can't recall ever seeing that at the club before.
