Rolling Totes PWNING Awesome Shows in Twin Cities Thread!

That Damo Suzuki show *was* awesome, as are Faggott, though M@tt's description of them is pretty much otm.

Did that Jerry Jeff Walker at the zoo show already happen? rats.

Faggott are better to read about than see live because you only have to READ about that dude's butthole rather than SEE it.

Just kidding, I only saw his balls.

btw, the show at the Nomad is with this NYC band, sounds intrsting.

they are opening

maps of norway CD release show october 10th at the turf club!!!!

BUMP for reminder that Jordan show is tonight

Zebulon Pike CD release at triple rock this Saturday, first show with Tommy from self-evident (M@tt knows him, right?)

I GO TO THIS NOW

duuuuude i had to go to this party of my sis and bro in law's way out in the burbs...they had an "80s" party and we went to see the coverband hairball

but anyway yeah i love zeb pike and tom is a fuckin' bro beyond belief and an awesome bass player so pls report back on the show and the new zep pike CD if you bought it!!!!!

i ordered zebulon pike cd from their website a long time ago and never got it :(

I can bug tommy about that if you want jordan. Are you talking about the new one?

New record is great, show was fantastic. The second track (of three) on the new one is my favorite.

Hairball!

Anway, so going to this Dead Moon shit tonight.

Er I mean Pierced Arrows. Man, does a drummer change really necessitate a name change?

Everyone was dancing and I got really sweaty and sprayed with booze and Toody Cole is so nice and then we went to our pal KG's place in St. Paul and drank vodka and had to chase it with cookies because there was nothing else WOOT and then we drove all the way back to Mankato HI DERE GOOD MORNING the end

(driver was sober! though apparently I wasn't quite yet when I posted this)

Pierced Arrows shows are Rad Times

Belphegor, Amon Amarth, Ensiferum, the Absence tomorrow at Station 4 in STPL just in case i am not alone in my TC metal love.

It's looking likely that I'll be at this.

awesome. if you are, find me, we'll drink beers.

If I'm done with my papers, I'll be there.

Eh, unfortunately stuck in Kato. Oh well.

Legendary Pink Dots at the Varsity on Thursday! I've never seen them.

Zebulon Pike opening for Boris on Friday at the Triple Rock!

probably can't go :( might cancel plans and piss people off in order to do so though.

M@tt, have you seen Zeb Pike since Tommy (from self evident) started playing bass for them?

bump for the good of the people

this saturday, mama digd0wn's brass band @ the nomad. we're making jambalaya and serving it up (for free) at set break!

what time are you going on?

9ish, and probably playing 3 sets

awesome. will be there.

also i promise not to talk about RE5 at your show

haha awesome.

on an unrelated note, Torche will be at the (ugh) Varsity theater on April 10th w/DREDG (?)

?! haha weird bill. the varsity isn't that bad IMO. only been there a couple times for the fall, do make say think, and when we opened for futureheads.

on a progged out flute tip: Ghost..Entry May 4th

on a street real noisepunk elders tip: Urinals (!) & Killdozer (!!) Sept 26th...Turf Club

JJ is Dredg like the new H.I.M. basically? like guitar center dude music thing?

god i hope not

the wiki says they have some prog thing going on, but its one of those misspelled names that always makes me nervous

During the L.D. 50 era, the band was famous for wearing extravagant make-up, seen in both their music videos and live concerts, and using unusual stage names such as Kud, Gurrg, RyKnow, and sPaG.[

yeah i don't know why i think this, but my gut is that they are "prog" in that sorta what if dream theater liked radiohead kinda way...but this is strictly a gut feeling.

oh man i am going to be so irritated if that is the case, really want to see Torche, but will not sit through crapnoodle for any band, i spend too much time around that shit as it is.

by the way i claim trademark on the Crapnoodle genre tag as of right now.

john a couple youtube videos seem like trouble for dredg. my gut was not quite right...now i'm thinking '80s rush but the emo/nu-metal version.

ugggggghhhhhhhh nooooooooo

a fake version of my band is going to be on KFAI in a few minutes (not me, i'm still at work)

don't listen

nice to meet you, matt. i had fun (although i was super exhausted) and i got to get my corn pancakes fix at maria's the next morning.

nice to meet you as well.

really enjoyed the set, i left after the second set to go to the turf to see the danforths CD release show...but yeah you guys definitely bring the party, really liked when you would do a big rhythmic breakdown, also the part time lover cover was cool....definitely seems like a perfect dance/party type vibe.

"feet don't fail me now" was my favorite, and also that ballad you opened with dedicated to someone's uncle or grandpa or something.

everyone is great players, i could almost do with more soloing personally

it was funny going to an early Milo Fine/Davu Seru/Paul Metzger free jazz thing then to your show I felt like I traveled the entire spectrum of jazz.

thanks. yeah, the tuba player's grandpa had passed the day before, so it was a little weird when he dedicated the song to him and everyone was like "whooo!". he didn't mention that he had died, maybe so as not to bum everyone out, but what we played ("just a closer walk with thee") was the traditional new orleans send-off.

oh jeez yeah that didn't come across at all, i don't think the crowd was trying be insensitive. sorry to hear that.

yeah, it wasn't anybody's fault and i don't think he was offended. that song was really for his/our benefit anyway.

btw i think i misspoke, in addition to the tuba player, both trombone players and that snare drummer are all local minneapolis dudes.

Yeah I find it really hard to get info on local shows these days, esp since I'm not on FB, of course I can't really go to any shows but still

would've been neat to see skoal kodiak

They were a blast.
