Coming Into Fall is not the new lame ass band playing at 111 this weekend, it’s what’s going on right now. I know because I spent two days in the woods last weekend with a bunch of zonked out children “celebrating” it. Morally ambiguous anarchy is the new black.
And this Saturday I have to avoid an entire four or five square blocks by my house because they’re crawling with heavily intoxicated yuppie hippies, in costumes no less, fetishising bicycles to the extent of killing any coolness in the simple, muscle and gravity powered form of transport. Give me a drinking fest celebrating GOB’s Segway on Arrested Development and you might see me there. SUV’s are crammed up and down Park and Bonito all awaiting their city-sanctioned drunken driver. I know I’m not making any drinking buddies with my super on point analysis, and I like beer as much as the next yuppie hippie but c’mon. ‘New Belgium’? I know it’s the image of some mom and pop brewery that cares about shit, but c’mon, ‘New Belgium’ just sounds like imperialism. Maybe I’m full of shit. Maybe I’m just jealous of their sweet ass flyers. Maybe their Fat Tire beer just gives me the worst hangovers of all time. Maybe, I’m just like, “Hey man, how come I can only get super loaded in the park if some big beer company says I can, man?”
Moving on.
A source tells me that Zombeast and Hour of the Wolf got paid 20$ a piece for their packed show at 111 a couple weeks ago. The opening bands got paid nothing.
Everyone is amped for this dude: Corey Deickman is in BARR and will be touring with ‘the band,’ which includes Kevin Shea, of Storm and Stress and other bands that you go “whoa, that’s a sick drummer” when listening to the album, in February/March. Coming through Flagstaff, yes. Or, we hope so.
JETOMI is opening for Melvins and Big Business on November 25th in Tucson at the Vaudeville. That’s sick.
Anomic Suicide, Landlord, and three other bands that haven’t played shows yet or have names are breaking up because all the members are addicted to ‘Magic: The Gathering,’ a card game invented in the 1990s for middle schoolers.
Movies at the Mall is closing its doors in December. Bummed.
A Baby Gecko/Soft Shoulder split 7” is under negotiation for release sometime in… Sometime.
That’s it. I think. Watch the movie with the microphone. Its funny. Expect more of those.
Congrats to Jetomi on the Melvins/Big Business show. Wish I could be there. Sickness.
The JETOMI show with Melvins in Tucson is not happening. We were told to try and get on the Phoenix show and are currently attempting such.
