whatever brains fucking ruled

5/5/2010 4:57:28 AM

yes.

and yeah, total PBR fest. I'd venture that 1 in every 1.5 people there drank nothing but PBR.

I had Hoppyum and High Life.

which is why I got sick twice last night.

super fun show though.

Caught up with FI before the Berkeley Gig. They had to leave W.V. at 6:30 a.m. to make the performance slot, but they were still awesome and in high spirits. Enjoy.

Yeah we were definitely wondering if the singer/guitarist in the black shirt was a female or a very effeminate male. It was an incredible show for $8. My first time hitting that venue; perfect size for seeing those bands.


On a side note it looks like Glossary is playing there on the 19th. Anyone who gets the chance needs to go see them as well.

lulz

show was a lot of fun but i'm paying for it today

5/5/2010 11:21:00 AM

the sound was not great for whatever brains, but they ruled as per usual

lower dens were AMAZING, holy shit

and the girl (jana) paid me for an amp that william borrowed from me in 2003, totally unexpected and awesome

LW and FI killed it as expected

also i realized much later that my speech about hopscotch tickets made very little sense

5/5/2010 1:09:28 PM

there were dudes in rainbow flip flops talking shit about your shirt. it was hard to bite my tongue

also, your speech was the second best one of the night. the winner was "whoever has a green Mazda/Nissan/whatever and parked in the back, your car got broken into"

5/5/2010 1:25:58 PM

haters can hate; i got so many compliments on my shirt it was ridiculous

but second best speech of the night out of two speeches is always nice

5/5/2010 1:29:24 PM

ha, for real though, your speech was pretty rad

5/5/2010 1:41:09 PM

greenville tomorrow night, i think?

5/5/2010 5:40:10 PM

yep

I'm 50/50 on it

5/5/2010 5:47:44 PM

god dammit i'm out of town.

COULDN'T THESE WAIT ONE WEEK?

where in gville is it?

5/5/2010 5:48:40 PM

phoenix - where the attic used to be if anyone actually remembers that

[Edited on May 5, 2010 at 5:57 PM. Reason : beside the dump gas station downtown]

5/5/2010 5:57:20 PM

OMG dudes in rainbow flip flops, at my future islands show?

5/5/2010 6:01:26 PM

they could have been anywhere and I would have laughed at them, I didn't care that they were at the show

the point was, dudes in rainbows shouldn't be making fun of others for what they're wearing

5/5/2010 6:03:29 PM

What was vinylbandit's shirt?

5/5/2010 6:05:45 PM

it fucking rules

(wish I had one)

5/5/2010 6:13:03 PM

den get one http://shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=11929

5/5/2010 6:48:39 PM

The point is, dudes in Admiral Ackbar shirts (entertaining as they may be) shouldn't be making fun of others for what they're wearing.

5/5/2010 7:03:26 PM

The point is, reading comprehension.

5/5/2010 7:06:35 PM

i didn't make fun of anyone

5/5/2010 7:06:50 PM

The point is, dudes in Admiral Ackbar sandals should be making fun of others for wearing Rainbow shirts.

Wait, what?

5/5/2010 7:20:06 PM

I know, it just sounded better that way.

[Edited on May 5, 2010 at 7:35 PM. Reason : better than "dudes who admire dudes in admiral ackbar shirts"]

[Edited on May 5, 2010 at 7:36 PM. Reason : actually that kinda sounds good]

5/5/2010 7:33:59 PM

5/5/2010 7:34:39 PM

So wait... someone here plays in the first band?

i'll be the guy at tonight's future islands show at milestone club wearing rainbows. apologies in advance for not meeting dress code.

5/5/2010 8:58:58 PM

do you enjoy getting your feet stomped on?

5/5/2010 9:04:41 PM

^ that

i don't care who wears rainbows, but you gotta be nuts to wear flip flops to a show between getting stepped on, the beer/dirt mixing on the floor, and broken glass

rich is in whatever brains.

5/5/2010 9:09:36 PM

Wearing flip flops or any other flimsy foot protecting apparatus to a crowded place is a bad idea. Especially when you try to cut me in line at the bar.


Also, I'm sorry rich.

5/5/2010 9:27:10 PM

you kids sure do listen to shitty shit these days

5/5/2010 10:22:01 PM

good show tonight. the bass player (william?) is even better live. played most of the new album, "in the fall", and encored with "beach foam" and "little dreamer".

5/6/2010 12:59:32 AM

^^^^I agree, but I know many people who do it.

5/6/2010 3:02:01 AM

^^ the pitchfork review (though it's more of a weird bio than a review) compares him directly to peter hook. he's gonna flip.

5/6/2010 3:05:20 AM

that was an insanely weak review

5/6/2010 3:17:25 AM

it reads like the reviews i wrote for a shitty website in 2001

grayson's was much better, and i'm not saying that because it was more positive

there's really not a bit of criticism in that p4k review, positive or negative

5/6/2010 3:30:37 AM

it's painfully obvious that he picked a number after one listen and then completely bullshitted the review

[Edited on May 6, 2010 at 3:38 AM. Reason : repeat when drunk]

5/6/2010 3:38:10 AM

they're playing the 506 friday night.

WHO'S WITH ME?!

7/13/2010 5:30:57 PM

I would like to go, but wouldn't be able to get out there until close to 11:30. Any idea when they are going on?

7/13/2010 10:54:18 PM

theres 4 bands, and they'll undoubtedly play last. show starts at 10

7/13/2010 11:40:02 PM

TONIGHT, 10PM @ THE LOCAL 506.

SEE ME AND kiljadn (i think he's going...)

7/16/2010 4:50:03 PM

and unlike raleigh, most shows in CH kinda almost start on time.

still, FI probably won't go on until 12:30 or 1

NPP have a ton of setup time but EAR PWR have almost none, etc. etc.

7/16/2010 5:20:14 PM

Sold the fuck out

7/17/2010 12:41:58 AM

it sold out just as EAR PWR was going on, which is pretty insane

there were 160+ presales

it was immensely crowded...fire marshal showed up and i was afraid we were gonna get nixed

kudos to the 506 staff for handling the situation

great show, sorry you missed it

7/17/2010 3:28:40 AM

BOY THAT WAS FUN AND PACKED AND HOT.

Photos coming tomorrow.

Although the lighting was brutal.

2 clamp lights, 1 orange, 1 blue, mostly alternating which one was on, haha.

THANKS VINYL I LIKE THIS AMP A LOT



I was unaware of the fire marshal stuff, damn.


[Edited on July 17, 2010 at 4:23 AM. Reason : .]

7/17/2010 4:21:28 AM

I wish they'd come up here, they are a good bit awesome. I'm jamming on synth with a bass player and a drummer and FI is sort of our model. fun stuff.

7/17/2010 11:46:27 AM

HERE, I TOOK SOME PICTURES FRIDAY

7/20/2010 3:32:31 AM

nice shots

i especially like the one of just the bass

7/20/2010 4:26:53 AM

you should send those to the guys...they'd really appreciate them i think. nice work

7/20/2010 4:30:14 AM

Bweez, you're an excellent photographer. Seriously, every time you put your work on here, I'm very impressed.

Didn't you put some pictures up from Bonnaroo, too? Wasn't that you? Those were really good.

7/20/2010 1:35:10 PM
