In the interest of not boring every non-San Franciscan on ILM with our SF show chatter, should we start a thread dedicately solely to SF show chatter?

DD: My Corny Opera FUx0r coworker went last night and said it was "The WORST... EVAH!!!" and went on and on and on. It must have been really great. I haven't been since "Cunning Little Fox" (I think that's what it was called, it was cute.)

American Analog Set to Break Up After Tour

Timothy Najmolhoda reports:
Sometimes it's hard to be the messenger, but as professional (albeit barely) reporters, it's our duty to inform you that in a mere six days, American Analog Set will begin their last tour ever. And once that finishes this December, the band will be officially "broken up", as they say in the business. Sucks, don't it?

Naturally our first question was "On good terms or bad terms?" Frontman Andrew Kenny says, "We're still friends and we still like making music together but we've all got other projects that we'd like to concentrate on for a while." Fair enough, but what exactly does he mean by projects? Well, guitarist Sean Ripple has a book coming out in 2006, Craig McCaffrey is working on some music of his own and focusing on some design work, and drummer Mark Smith plans to perfect his game at FIFA Soccer for the PS2. Meanwhile, Kenny himself is going to continue writing songs for a new project, and finish work on the next AmAnSet rarities compilation. But there is a silver lining to all of this. The band is bringing former Furry Thing Chris Michaels with them on the road to manage the boards. Michaels owns the Laboratory, where American Analog Set recorded their final album, so he's no stranger to working with these guys. As sad as saying goodbye can be, the band seems pretty geeked to get to work with this gentleman one last time.

Here are the dates - What's that, we've already posted most of these? Well, Mr. Smart Ass, it's their last friggin tour ever, so can the cynicism and just read them again. Jesus, would it kill you to show a little sensitivity?

American Analog Not Breaking Up After All

Amy Phillips reports:
Though it may seem hard to believe, the Pitchfork staff is human. And humans make mistakes. Sometimes we report things that are only half-true, and then we have to apologize and hang our heads in shame.

Right now is one of those times. Remember on Monday when we told you that American Analog Set will break up after their current tour? Well, they're not. They're only quitting touring for now. Here's the full statement from the band, as posted to the AmAnSet website:

"Is this the end of the American Analog Set?

No ... probably not. We're still friends and we still like making music together, but we've all got other projects that we'd like to concentrate on for a while. Sean's book comes out in early 2006. Lee has been busy with Parts & Labour in Austin. Craig has his own music and more design work than he can do right now. Kenny is working on songs for a new project and also putting songs together for the next AmAnSet singles/unreleased compilation. Mark has a grip of cigarettes to smoke and FIFA 2006 just came out for PS2 so...

But this is the last tour? Will we ever see the American Analog Set again?

[shaking magic 8-ball] ... It's possible. We may play again here and there, but this is the last time we will get INTO a van in August and get OUT of the van in December. This is the last full-on tour in support of an album. Coast to coast ... Europe ... Japan ... etc... So you should get out to the rock show.

Did you have a fight?

What? No. This? This is nothing ... I ... I fell down the stairs."

Quite a bunch of jokers, that American Analog Set.

Once again, we're sorry about the mix-up. Their tour kicks off tonight in Chicago; go see ‘em for what may be the last time for awhile:

anyone know where this is?

Both times I've seen Cerberus Shoal have been fairly annoying, so I'm probably going to avoid that on Wednesday the 9th. I am however tempted by Animal Collective @ Great American Music Hall come Monday, Nov. 21. $18 isn't so bad, guess I should reserve tickets soon.
