eh most of those bands always tour, too much of a hastle to me

the dead c would be cool to see

but all those noise/pych folk bands always tour and play baltimore mostly

baltimore is seems to attract more of those bands which is a good thing

i hear ya. i was already planning on spending a couple of weeks in europe either december or next spring, but i'd be mainly going for the stooges(who i still havent seen), negative approach (!), and the dead c. assuming they'd be playing next to eachother, the stooges, NA and wolf eyes is like a dream bill for me. i imagine thurston will be wise enough to have the michigan boys play consecutively…

yeah i'd be totally stoked to see the stooges

i heard new wolf eyes live is ZzZz

aaron dilloway aint in it anymore

his solo stuff slays though

untrue. well i never did get to see them with dilloway (missed the halloween show at warehouse in 04!) so i'm lacking that reference point, but the 1st time i saw them at dc9 was still pretty incredible and the set opening for whitehouse earlier this year was rushed and not to their potential but still better than most stuff ive seen this year. what solo dilloway stuff have you heard? a lot of it aint that great. live is where he shines. id suggest catching the wolfs when they come back to dc october 8th.

the new one on truniks/pacrec is really really good

i'd go to ATP in england if i could afford it.

best wolf eyes set i've seen is halloween 2004 with dilloway. they're still good without him (mike connelly of hair police does an admirable job as his "replacement"). i do prefer dilloway over connelly. dilloway solo at no fun was pretty damn cool.

Big Black has been confirmed!

who's sponsoring it?

That would be awesome! And it's the day before my last 20 something birthday.

let's hear some reports…

there are some on stonerrock.com (live reviwes section) and board.crewcial.org (touch & go 25th thread).. probably some on the electrical board too

but, basically -

sat was best. it rained all day sunday. sat had pegboy,killdozer,sally timms,sratch acid,man astro man(other stage),big black started with firecrackers did 3-4 songs and ended with shellac. was supposed to end at 10pm. shellac went until 10:30pm. the venue was kind of weird. it was across the street from the announcer tim tuten's bar the hideout. it was a lot where the city usually parks trash trucks. not a tree or a blade of grass to be seen. they supposidly had 7000 people on saturday. by the time sa played it was packed. touch and go's cory rusk was front and center for most sets. i wondered why the most famous t+g act was not there (butthole surfers). apparently they sued and won rights to all their catalog on t+g. t+g mo is a handshack 50-50 split with bands. apparently this does not hold up in court. this might have been the best festival this summer. bands that i never heard of that were real good were the shipping news and uzeda.

On August 18(my birthday) 2006, Gibby announced a new Butthole Surfers record is in the making.
