Nomeansno : C/D/S/D

fyi::

Sun Dec. 11 Nomeansno, Carpenter The Boot Pub,whistler,bc 9pm $5

Is this a one-off? Any Vancouver or Victoria show?

And and and and and I've never been to Whistler before!

I think a plan is in order. *grinning hard*

My concern is.. could weather affect one's ability to get from Vancouver to Whistler? Are there public transport options available? I can't imagine there aren't.

Now i just need to call Ditch Records and get the 411 on where the Victoria show is.

There was also a rumor (and I stress rumor) that the next album will be 50 one-minute songs... or was that 51 minute songs? Anyway.. there's a new album in the works, and these will be debuted at these shows.

Some changes to the NoMeansNo dates.. none of which affect you but do affect me. The Victoria date on the 9th has been postponed, and now they're playing Tofino on the 9th, and Cumberland on the 10th, neither of which I can get to without having to take the following Monday off.. and while Tofino is, from what I hear, gorgeous, I'd rather go there in the context of relaxing, as opposed to chasing down a band to see live.

If I was able to make it to Vancouver by the afternoon at the latest on the 8th, would it possible to get a ride to the Langley show?

If you don't want to, by all means, it's no problem. I'm just trying to plan things out here. Why do my favorite bands mess with my life like this by playing out of the way places? it's like that all-Wisconsin tour that Shellac did.

...as of right now i doubt i will be able to attend due to work commitments. if anything changes i will let you know as giving you a ride there/back would have been no problem.

I'd imagine Translink has bus service from Vancouver to Langley. Also, it's no problem if I have to take a cab back. It will be much cheaper than the entire Tofino plan would have been (*if* that's happening... talking to the Tofino Legion booker, he wasn't sure what the deal was.)

I'll be in Vancouver until the afternoon of the 10th though, so there is Fri. Dec 9th.. Don't know what's happening that day, but if you're up for a FAP, I'm for it. I should go sexually harrass contact Shmuel and LeCoq.

(I'm also in town for another Thurs-Sat deal, Nov 24-26, ..seeing Super Furry Animals/Caribou at Dick's on Dicks on U.S. T-day i.e. my escape thereof.)

I could see the vox being sorta grating to some people, but if you just lay back and accept it, this is fucking amazing music.

They mainly did new songs.. the new ones are the best ones I've heard in a decade.. back to 3-4 minute ones.. they're like the best elements of Worldhood, No One, and My Game combined.. new album to be recorded in Feb., slated release of album in June.. to be release on an Ipecac related record label. Can't wait!

"When I say No means ya'll say NO"

good news about them recording again too.

Good: They will be playing the northwest soon.. a bunch of shows in Washington State starting with Seattle on April 1st. They will also be playing more U.S./Canadian dates include those in the east part of North America next September.

Bad: I will be on a plane missing April 1st while I fly to Australia and New Zealand the day before they play that Seattle show.

Maybe: Hopefully they'll decide to do a home show right before.. either in Vancouver or Victoria.. which would be great for both of us!

OMG!

Okay, I've been liking this NOMEANSNO disc from the start..but now I'm starting to REALLY like it! Even the vox that I thought were kinda annoying at first are now starting to resonate w/me in some wierd way.....I'm starting to get the sinking feeling that these guys are some sort of Zappa/Ween thing for people that like Sweep the Leg Johnny and Shellac....I'm doomed! (in a good way!)

hahahahaha, yes, you're doomed. Just buy all their records now.

they also list the hanson bros. there on april 29th

But I'll be back in time to catch the Hanson Brothers.. during the EMP Pop Conference even!!

Three BC shows in February:
2/16 @ Queens - Nanaimo BC
2/17 @ Sugar - Victoria BC
2/18 @ hall show (all ages) - Chilliwack BC

and now MySpace Is Wrong-ed

29th June Vancouver Commodore (CD release party with Italian friends ZU) Canada
30th June Tofino The Legion (with ZU) Canada
1st July Lund The gazebo! Outdoor (with Zu) Canada
2nd July Denman Island Town Hall [overnight camping required]

It would be great to do a Blowfly / NMN gig sometime and totally annoy both groups of fans.

i'm still about that. I never came close to completing my Nomeansno collection
