*ROLL CALL* THURS NOV 19th The Jesus Lizard @ 9:30

Any chance of a sellout?

would not miss this for anything.  i think the baltimore show probably prevents this from selling out. 

I can't imagine there won't be a healthy turnout. The reissues seem to have sold out of most record stores in the area, Crooked Beat hasn't had any for weeks. Last time I saw them was in 1993 at the old 9:30 Club when Mr. Yow spent nearly the entire show crowd-surfing.

Wouldn't miss this for anything either.


I'll be pleasantly surprised if it sells out.

Don't sleep on Noveller. Although, I'm not sure how well she'll go over with this crowd.

I'll be there acting like I'm 16 again.

leaving soon… 8)

They were fucking great!  Looking forward to the show tomorrow.

Holy crap this fucking ruled hard.  They nailed every song.  David Yow is officially in my top 5 greatest/craziest/best frontmen I've ever seen live with Henry Rollins, Iggy, Lux Interior, and Zach de la rocha.   

Yow:  So I got a joke for you guys.  A woman at a restaurant ordered some soup and rice but told the waitress she'll just have the soup.  The waitress brought the rice.  ;D

I actually kinda liked the opening act Noveller. 

Fantastic show although the crowd was lame. And this is coming from the most stand-right-there-do-nothing concertgoer ever.

did yow pull out his ballsack?

Best. Live. Band. Ever.

Great show, but Yow was definitely a bit restrained compared to the old days.  You can tell he has aged some.  We didn't get any ballsac, but a little penis action in the encores.

Dude's 50!  I hope I can still act like that when I'm his age.  On second thought, no I don't :)

For all of Yow's zaniest, I still find Sims the most off-putting guy on stage.  It's easy to just focus on Yow's antics, but jesus christ, Sims actually makes me afraid.  He looks like he wants to murder someone, and that horrifying glare of his hasn't lost a bit over the years.  Shiver.

Also, nothing cracked me up more than seeing him get carried to the very back of the club, then all the way forward with a Hershey bar in his hand.  And he didn't miss a word.

I was impressed by how respectful the crowd was to Yow when he was surfing.  I've seen all his clothes get ripped off of him before when he was out in the crowd and him ending up crowd surfing naked.  People were very nice to him last night.

Definitely agree about Sims.  Very disturbing.  You can completely understand how he used to play in a band called Rapeman.

Best. Reunion. Ever.  Pavement can suck it.

I was always amazed at Sims as he was doing some interesting bass lines without once looking down. I always felt he was the "cop" on stage, staring down the audience, kicking people off stage, and holding down the fort as Yow went crazy. Great show, even had a bloke get thrown out early on. The band still has it and puts a lot of bands half their age to shame.

I was impressed with Yow's throwing arm.  I'm sure that Hershey bar nearly put some guys eye out. 

I LOVED this show. They're playing in Chicago when I'm there, sold out but I'm thinking I will have to try to go and compare. Something tells me that Chicago will be TOTAL insanity.

Agreed.  People were freaking the fuck out at Pitchfork.  It was sheer madness.  Of course, I was sore for 3 days afterwards…but it was worth it!
