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

[mindspell]

How about a Montreal band/project? Sam Shalabi, Molasses or the Unicorns?

 

[FuSoYa]

I don't know any of those.. could you describe?

 

[xfer]

cat power is setting up a Dec tour:

[ChromeLife]

Isis, or Today is the Day... That would be really cool.

 

[xfer]

dude...El Vez.

 

[FuSoYa]

haha yes El Vez is such a great idea!!

 

[avi]

I actually know El Vez's drummer. he plays in Pansy Division too.

Soft Canyon might not be a bad idea but they are starting to get some pretty decent press so it might be a little harder (former Tricky Woo members):

Does it show that I like Alien8?

 

[FuSoYa]

wow i just listened to a unicorns track and i'm hooked. i'll ask them.

 

[xfer]

toby...5ive?

 

[FuSoYa]

5uck 5ive

 

[FuSoYa]

i'm joking. they would be worth looking into

 

[xfer]

i like 5ive.

 

[xfer]

oh, weird, your last post didn't show!

 

[FuSoYa]

i can't find any contact info because that #$@^#*@ boy band keeps coming up!

 

[xfer]

search for 5ive and continuum research or hemophiliac dream.

 

[FuSoYa]

then only places to buy the album from come up, but not a band site with contact info.

 

[xfer]

contact Tortuga and see if they can put you in touch with them?

i don't know if their "early december" european tour is NOW, or last year, or if it matters.

 

[ChromeLife]

The Unicorns are totally doing me right.

 

[diabolical vengeance]

its a shame that Khanate and Isis (and all those other bands) have given you a negative response. maybe i'm being over ambitious or just plain weird but I think Neurosis or Fates Warning would be cool.
