BLue Cheer date in New Haven, CT with Witch- CANCELLED

[lethrneck4]

so Blue Cheer has up on thier myspace that they are playing BAR Nightclub in New Haven, CT on Jun 21 2006. although it doesnt say it on thier page, i hear Witch will be opening for them. can anyone confirm if Witch is playing this date with them?

[King Tubby]

That would be totally badass if Witch were opening for them at CBs, as I’ll be at that show.

[lethrneck4]

wow, is Leigh Stephens back with them???? i heard they had a falling out a long time ago and werent on speaking terms. some people on the sonic youth boards were saying it was a weak Blue Cheer lineup with only peterson left in the band….can you link me to that article or link me to a site that confirms leigh stephens is back with them?

THANKS! man, if leigh is back, my expectations just went waaaaay up!

[King Tubby]

No Stephens, just Peterson and Paul Whaley, who were, really, the heart of the band, since they had such a revolving door of guitarists from ’69-on. Blue Cheer without Whaley would be no good, but with him and Peterson laying down the rhythm, it’s sure to kick ass.

As per the Witch myspace site & Teepee records they are doing three dates with Dungen, hopefully they update their sites to add any more Witch dates thru the summer…

im def gonna try to catch Witch at pearl street too, i hear that Dungen is pretty cool too

[lethrneck4]

ok, im hearing that Witch has now pulled out of the show in new haven. can anyone confirm this?

Witch…..dont screw the people in CT twice…please

[lethrneck4]

well, Witch has pulled out of the new haven show…..second CT date theyve cancelled in the past few months. i would have gone to both the iron horse and pearl street shows if i knew they were gonna back out of the CT dates. now ive missed 2 northampton shows i easily could have and should have gone to…WTF??

well, can anyone give an explanation for this?? i know Witch wont….im sure they really dont care, thats the impression i got from the booking guy at Bar, where they just cancelled

i guess when you reach the status of J, or heck even sonic youth who also has cancelled 2 CT dates in the past few years and never made them up, alll you see is dollar signs and not your fans who really want to see you. well, since SY cancelled those 2 shows. i havent gone to see them again or bought any of thier new stuff….im DL it now…fuck them, i rather steal it than give them money. maybe Witch deserves the same treatment now

yeah, i know, i live in CT, and J and Sonic Youth play in MA and NYC all the time, but when i specifically dont go to those shows because im led to beleive they are playing in my state, i feel screwed

so sad…

Dave of Witch asked me to post this so here goes

Quote:

there seems to be some confusion about witch playing in new haven and our constant show canceling. the first show that was booked, at middletown in march, was cancelled due to the fact that the school ended up backing out at the last minute. the most recent cancellation with blue cheer was never confirmed by the band in the first place. we were asked to play this show, but the "check and see" was miscontrued as a "yes". there will be a new haven show as soon as we can fit one in. sorry for the hassle

I had never even heard of that place anyway… maybe they can play Toads on their tour??
