So, I gots a new band, and a show: 6/19/09

[LMNO]

It started as an alt-country band, but we soon realized:

1) We don't know how to write alt-country songs.

So, we went more college rock.  The band's called Frost Heaves.


Long story short, we've got a gig at the Cantab in Cambridge on June 19.

It will be a better experience than anyone who's tried to sit through an Empties show, and the beer is cold, so if you're south of T.R.O.N.E. and north of the Principality of Kaosuu, stop by.

[Richter]

Sounds fun.  I'll see how things settle out for June.

[AFK]

So it will be less Wilco and more REM?  Or maybe Frank Black and the Catholics?

Hrmmm, maybe a good time for a Discordian Meetup... I've been wanting to hit the New England side of this great Digital Cabal anyway

More Heartbreakers/Pixies/Replacements.  Tho' we do an Uncle Tupelo song, just for the hell of it.

[AFK]

Gotcha. 

[That One Guy]

Sounds fun! I will probably forget about this between now and then (only three more months!) so reminders = win.

I'm in the same boat.  Given the haze I normally live in, a future vision being limited at 2 weeks, my attendence is dependent on this thread being bumped.

This is troof

[Cramulus]

difference is, Tosk lives in a haze. Richter lives in a fine red mist.

Worst martini ever.

This is fact.

Also, the extreme proximity of the Cantab to my apartment makes me uncomfortable.

But it also makes it extra likely that I will actually be there if this thread is bumped.

ALSO ALSO... Plz play an alt-country song somewhere in the mix. Even if it's awful.

[LMNO]

We're going to do "Graveyard Shift" by Uncle Tupelo, and "I Will Dare" by the Replacements*.  And we're kicking around the idea of doing "Transmission" by Joy Division, just for the hell of it.

Incidentally DC, one of the regular bands at the Cantab are the Sharp Lads.  If you like NYC 77-type music (Heartbreakers, Dead Boys, Voidoids, Television, etc) you should check them out.  And if you do, heckle the lead singer.  He's a friend of mine.













*Not technically Alt-country, but it's got a bit of shuffle & twang.

1) We don't know how to write alt-country songs.

I can help you with this.

I am currently working on "It's Commode-Hugging Time in the Valley".
