6/02/2007 Chicago, IL @ The AbbeyHOLY CRAP. They are gonna blow the roof of that place.
I don’t think I’ve been there yet, or mebbe I have and don’t remember. Well we’ll find out won’t we? Is this a good place for Dino? Small, Medium?? I imagine small from your response. Hmmm mebbe I’ll finally eat those shrooms in my fridge.
The Abbey Pub is pretty small. Maybe a few hundred, tops. The sound is good as well. Lou has played there a couple times w/ the Folk Implosion and w/ Jason back in 2004 and likes it a lot. Nice people. Some of the same crew as the old Lounge Ax (Julia Adams, Dan the Doorman).
I remember Lounge Ax, I saw alot of great shows there. The most memorable though has to be a Brainiac show, perhaps you were there and remember that?
looks like theres a possible Boston date–no confirmation yet– but Dinosaur Jr is listed as playing June 11, part of a Free Yr Radio Campaign, apparently invite only but you can print out an invite on freeyrradio.com, not sure it’s all up and running though.
Quote:Top Indie Bands to Perform at Urban Outfitters Locations as Part of Yaris/Urban Outfitters Free Yr Radio CampaignLOS ANGELES-(Business Wire)-April 10, 2007 –
After launching a brand partnership to support non-commercial radio at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (TMS) and Urban Outfitters (URBN) announced some of the 13 bands who will make the upcoming "Free Yr Radio" Tour. "Free Yr Radio" is a series of free, in-store performances by some of the biggest indie music names at Urban Outfitters locations across the country. The tour, part of the multi-phased "Free Yr Radio" campaign that will channel much-needed funding to participating independent radio stations, kicks off April 15th at the Chicago Urban Outfitters with a performance by British psychedelic-progressive-pop trio, Klaxons, who will perform songs from their U.S. debut Myths of the Near Future.
The tour will hit 12 additional markets through July 21 with a stellar lineup including: The Ponys (Lawrence, KS), Voxtrot (Houston, TX), Long Winters (Seattle, WA), The Rapture (Philadelphia, PA), Rogue Wave (Santa Cruz, CA), Tapes ‘N Tapes (Minneapolis, MN), Dinosaur Jr. (Boston, MA), Annuals (Raleigh/Durham, NC), along with others to be announced soon.
Each performance will be co-presented by a local non-commercial radio station that will benefit from the campaign’s fundraising. Participating stations will be able to award one of their listeners with a brand new Toyota Yaris, presented with a check which can be used towards modifications suggested by the station’s Free Yr Radio band. Stations will also receive proceeds from a "Free Yr Radio" compilation CD that will be released at the end of the year-long program.
Participating stations include: WLUW (Chicago), KTRU (Houston), KEXP (Seattle), Y-Rock On XPN (Philadelphia), KZSC (Santa Cruz), 89.3 The Current (Minneapolis), WERS (Boston), WKNC (Raleigh/Durham), WBWC (Cleveland) and KGNU (Boulder).
"We are thrilled to be partnered with Yaris and Urban Outfitters to create this unique and innovative campaign that will help expose our station to new listeners, generate revenue for us to operate, and enable us to continue to discover new music and serve our communities," says Jim McGuinn, Program Director for Philadelphia’s Y-Rock On XPN. "The bands that are playing represent the cutting edge of independent music and Y-Rock On XPN is proud to be among the stations taking part in Free Yr Radio."
