who should we ask to headline at our Dec 28th gig in Boston?

[FuSoYa]

We have already asked and gotten either no response or negatives from:

Khanate
Cerberus Shoal
Today is the Day
Lightning Bolt
Isis
Carla Kihlstedt
Black Eyes
Orthrelm


please don't limit your suggestions to metal or heavy music. Also no joke suggestions please, that shit is tired. Thanks

 

[deadair]

why did Cerberus Shoal say no?

and Lightning Bolt? you're into Lightning Bolt... i wouldn't have guessed that.

 

[FuSoYa]

Cerberus Shoal did not respond and their website also implies they're not gigging during the winter.

Re: lightning bolt - not my idea but others in the band thought it would be cool.

 

[FuSoYa]

Oh yeah I have also asked Infidel?/Castro!

 

[deadair]

i don't know of many bands up in your area... but i'll look through my shit tonight to see if anything clicks.

 

[avi]

already suggested via IM, but boston's finest band, UPPER CRUST!

 

[FuSoYa]

well also we could ask a band who'll be on tour and kind of in the area at that time

 

[avi]

check show listings and steal a band from a different venue on the same night

i was going to suggest Rasputina, but they're playing downstairs (opening, i think) like a week before that.

 

[goatschool]

i wish i was up on current (relevant) music.

december wolves.

 

[FuSoYa]

remember: does not have to be a rock show


also performing will be avant trumpter Greg Kelley

 

[xfer]

yeah, but the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players are performing the week before that, too.

 

[FuSoYa]

December Wolves would be awesome! But why do I feel like that'd be asking for trouble?

 

[xfer]

how about a DC band? there's a lot to wade through--and i know you already mentioned Black Eyes--but there's plenty of wheat among the chaff. not necessarily Dischord bands like Q and not U and BE, either.

 

[xfer]

this is a little presumptuous, but i don't see the downstairs booked for 12/28 yet. i wonder if you could snag mike patton or something and get the show moved down there.

 

[avi]

27 is from around there, right?

 

[xfer]

i suggested 27, actually. i think they're okay (i own "animal life") and i appreciate what they're trying to do maybe a little more than i appreciate what they actually succeed in doing.

 

[Veils_of_Cerpintaxt]

I think 27 is based on the west coast now. I could be wrong though.

 

[xfer]

i saw the singer girl at a show a few months ago. did they move recently?

looking at their "shows played" list, they have all east coast shows recently, then european ones...
