as I said previously in this thread, I love Basement. they're more '90s than so many bands that get tagged as '90s revivalists:

new piece on the Pinegrove situation
https://pitchfork.com/features/article/reckoning-with-pinegrove/
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Wednesday, 26 September 2018 14:18 (five years ago) link
...and Skylight is apparently being quietly released this Friday
tbh that piece mostly just made me feel very sorry for the band. The response doesn't seem commensurate with the "offense" at all even though it was completely understandable that the other bands, etc. just wanted to do the right thing by their respective fanbases. Just a mess all around.
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Wednesday, 26 September 2018 14:28 (five years ago) link
it's weird to me that they're finally putting out the album in two days but fine i guess
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Wednesday, 26 September 2018 15:53 (five years ago) link
Kind of a weird piece. I enjoyed it but the more I thought about it the more issues seemed to build. Like it really seems like she wants the band exonerated throughout a good chunk of the piece which is a weird way to approach this.
Also, say what you want about Sheridan Allen, but she got the dude some therapy and kickstarted a mediation process so it seems a little much to throw her under the bus entirely. (She definitely had some issues with how she approached this and ethics violations don't get me wrong)

if there's a better thread for this, someone point me to it, but: has anyone here been to The Fest in Gainesville? good experience or too-big shitshow (or somewhere in between)?
― alpine static, Monday, 1 October 2018 09:52 (five years ago) link
I've always wanted to go.
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Monday, 1 October 2018 14:25 (five years ago) link
i’ve gone annually for the past few years! it’s totally worth it and awesome if you’re on its wavelength of drinking pbr nonstop for three days (it’s also p awesome if you’re sober i imagine i’ve just never tried it). there are a lot of ppl and it grows every year so it can be hard to get into certain shows (mostly by popular or hyped bands) if you don’t line up early bc of venue capacity. but also if you don’t get in there’s probably another awesome show a five minute walk away. it’s also a v welcoming and not v annoying crowd; i can barely deal with punks at new york punk shows but fest punks are v chill and cool for the most part in my experience, sorta like hanging out with friends you haven’t met yet
one of the things they dialed down last year were the secret midnight-4am shows at the holiday inn which was a bummer, those were one of the best parts of fest, but all of the other hotels also usually have something going on during those hours
if you go pls treat yourself to reggae shack and boca, my two favorite restaurants
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 1 October 2018 14:55 (five years ago) link
thanks Brad ... so are all the venues w/in walking distance of each other? or most, at least?
those are my favorite kind of festivals ... so much better than "let's all go stand in a field"
― alpine static, Monday, 1 October 2018 17:15 (five years ago) link
yeah it's spread between 9-10 venues that are all in walking distance of each other (though they're a 10-20 minute walk from any nearby hotel) and agreed, it's a much better experience
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 1 October 2018 17:23 (five years ago) link
also gainesville kinda empties out that weekend so it is temporarily almost 100 percent populated by punks
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 1 October 2018 17:24 (five years ago) link
the only way in which fest feels like a "too-big shitshow" is the very very very long line for wristbands on the first day, but everyone kinda drinks their way through that line and the fest organizers always bring pizza by
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 1 October 2018 17:26 (five years ago) link
thanks. sounds rad. xpost: that reminds me of going to Psycho Las Vegas 3 years ago at the Hard Rock Casino and the population inside the place for the wknd was literally like 94% black-and-leather-clad metalheads and 6% millennial bachelorette party-goers wandering the grounds in clubwear and/or pajamas. it was amazing.
― alpine static, Monday, 1 October 2018 17:32 (five years ago) link
lmao vegas is my hometown and i think i debates going to that. metalheads still my fav kind of festival crowd, maryland death fest is all good and generous vibes

Good to read that Lifetime is still going. Hope they find the time/inspiration to record a new album, the 2007 album was great.

Is this the thread where I can talk about Drug Church? I had no idea there was a new album, & then yesterday I checked Wikipedia to see how many years it had been since their last album, and it turns out the answer was: .00274 years
― bernard snowy, Sunday, 4 November 2018 12:16 (five years ago) link
They're touring on back of a new single that they encored with
"Sorry, that's the whole set, we didn't rehearse any other songs we wrote twenty years ago"

i am no punk rock expert, but to me Drug Church feels like Fucked Up meets the Pixies

I get a Leatherface kinda vibe from them, vocally, also Wilderness which is weird/unexpected
