WOW (pun intended), that’s like empty. Must have felt like you were back in 1985 or something

"deepsludge " wrote:You mean Dinosaur Jr. is not playing in Seattle? That is stranger than them never going to Canada.This tour they seemed to hit a lot of places they hadn’t been to last summer, so no Chicago, NYC, Seattle, Minneapolis, Milwaukee etc.. There are some repeats, but it’s mostly new venues.
"duane " wrote:Seriously, that’s the first time I’ve ever seen a band of any weight set up their own equipment (and later help Dinosaur). Weird….In clubs, I think it’s pretty common. I’ve seen Stereolab, Sonic Youth, the Shins, Tortoise and even geezers like Wire and the Fall (and all way ‘bigger’ than Priestess) set up their own gear. In fact, one of my most disgusted feelings at any show was watching like 3 roadies do everything for Interpol when they played the Empty Bottle in Chicago (like 200 people, tops) like 3 yrs ago. They brought them towels onstage, fetched them water bottles, gave backstage passes to the hot chicks
. It was all too Rockstar for me to handle I don’t think they’ll play it but I can see how they’d be getting antsy w/ the limited setlists. Years ago when Lou was on 120 Minutes with Bob Mould he asked him something about touring w/ Dino and he said something like "yeah ….. same set every night …. <big>".
"Slope1988 " wrote:Is it the Kevin Sweeney in hayride? I went to school with him and lived in Athens, GA while he was out there. I occasionally would say hello to him at a hayride show. He’s a cool dude.I’m pretty sure he’s from or lives in Athens (iirc, his wife teaches there ?) so it’s probably the same guy. Kyle Spence also plays/played drums in The Fog.
"traininvain159 " wrote:It seems to me that J’s never really matured. I just feel bad for the rest of the band who signed up for this reunion tour. He might be a musical genius but I wish everyone would stop standing up for his character.wow … WTF do you know about his ‘character’ ?
Maybe he wanted to see if his tooth was chipped or something ? He sings very close to the mic so it’s entirely possible.sometimes if you go in with an adult they’ll let you in, like at an R-Rated movie. spring for a ticket for your dad, have him go in and then he can just leave. don’t sweat looking uncool.
Forgot to ask … what does the "AX" mean in Japanese, if anything ? The reason I ask is that there was a very famous club in Chicago called Lounge Ax and I never knew why they named it that.
anyone ?
