Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition

Oh yeah brother, they are bad.

They definitely aren't Swans or Swervedriver.  It's cool, at least they have some classic albums.

gotta admit i have not heard new album….

did kim deal participate in it?

No, not at all.  Paz from a Perfect Circle plays bass on it.

Hey Hutch, have you ever listened to "Teenager of the Year"? It's got a bit of filler on it, but about 90% of it is pretty much perfect in my book. It's a stunning LP and one of the most rewarding things Black Francis/Frank Black ever did. I love the Pixies probably more than anyone but I will still sing the praises of the Man. That LP has held up for 21 years.

How much are tickets? I'm guessing $175.

I bought every Frank Black album for a good while.. I feel like its been going downhill but I have a friend who swears by Frank Black and the Catholics…

I read a book bout the Pixies..an oral history… what I learned was that most of the Pixies songs were written by the first album….I think Frank Black/Black Francis/Charles Sumner/DJ Kooko just ran out of inspiration or something…….

Anyways, the Pixies stuff is more than enough greatness for one lifetime

Dean Ween Group (Ween minus Gene version) - 8/27

Yeah looks like the rest of the band is going to be there
pretty big step up from the otto bar
Freeman couldn't even fill the blowtel

I hope it does well, but thankfully won't sell out

$25…was kinda thinking this would be a $15 show

looks like no Guy either….which is probably a good thing
He was good, but IMO he couldn't carry the whole night?

yo la tengo at linc- 9/25

man looks like September is going to be a busy month for this board
surprised they upgraded to the Lincoln
seemed like their star was fading

­¿ellos lo tenían?

Is it considered an upgrade to go from the 930 Club to The Lincoln?

I believe both have a stated capacity in the 1200s.

Guy adds no value in my opinion, not a fan of his voice or antics to be honest. But yeah… DWG is either Ween Minus Gene or DWG with Guy. Looking forward to a 75% capacity show!

If I had to pick my personal holy trinity of "acts 930.com seems to thing is awesome but I think are terrible" it would have to be Ween, New Pornos, and Frank Turner.

I agree with 2/3rds of that list…

LOL…there are some bands that I just don't "get". Arcade Fire is in my "I like some of their songs, I've seen them put on an awesome show and I've seen them put on a fairly crummy show…" category and then I realize that I just never have the desire to listen to them and if they went away I wouldn't really care. I feel that way about New Pornos too. But some people love them. I can see why Frank Turner would be grating to some. I've never gotten Ween. I've also never gotten Pavement, TV on the Radio, and Gogol Bordello. I can see why some people don't get Queens of the Stone Age, but that's one band I obsess over.

Courtney Barnett, Diarrhea Planet, and Foo Fighters are my three.

The Smiths/Morrissey
