Also remember when they stopped touring so they could focus on releasing music faster?

It�s been three years since The Hands That Thieve, we�re on track for another Streetlight album sometime this year or next, hopefully. That was the time between each of SitB, 99SOR, and THtT

Maybe. Think it depends if they are free from Victory and the result of the law suit.

Can you blame them? It IS Philly, and they've already had their poo poo stolen (twice?)

I went to the added Thursday show at Starland when Tomas opened for his own band and covered his own songs in the ultimate troll

At this show right now. It is extremely cool. Tiny, tiny pub venue in regional Australia.

I think, "Yo Check out this ride!" and everything after has been terrible. Their live shows don't have enough horns and there are all these kids there that know all the words to the new songs that are not as good as the old songs! My friends stole my cd that had CD Repo Man on it. I'm a cranky old man who likes there music from when they were still a ska band.

The Aquabats have always been great and while the new stuff isn't my favorite it's cool that the kids love it. Yo Gabba Gabba is great and the Super Show loving ruled.

Also the time they showed up on Loveline was funny as hell.

It's music that doesn't suck that I can happily listen to with my kids. They adore Shark Fighter and Pink Pants and BFFS.

Dunno about the crowd, but the venue for that show really sucked. Also, I just really cannot get into Westbound Train.

I really dig Westbound Train, they're like all jazzy and poo poo and the singer is a fatty

I like Highline a lot, actually; it's very intimate without being super tiny, kinda like a smaller Irving Plaza but the stage is way closer. I saw K-OS/Shad/Astronautalis, Streetlight (EGN full album show), and Houston Calls there and all three shows were really good; I've never seen a bad show there. I just hate loving 20 year olds who think the pit at a ska show is the same thing as a pit at a metal show and want to jump around like idiots and hit women in the face I want to dance you dickheads I'm old and poo poo and I don't want to get knocked over

this first guy was good but I spent the whole time wishing he was Dan P. I have no idea who the middle act is

e: I'm the guy in the wu tang shirt and the checkered cap with the FIF/bosstones/bedouin soundclash pins if you want to stand next to a stranger from the internet

Apparently the opening act was Mikey Erg, who is a name I've definitely heard before but don't think I've actually listened to. He was v good

I'm sorry I missed this as my phone was off for the show. Judging by the other people it was a good one for random strangers meeting. I wonder why last night had a bunch of youngings tonight seemed to be mostly old dudes.

Also gently caress that dude for not singing Johnny Quest.

I'm mostly bitter because they didn't have bag check, didn't sell earplugs, and they kept that weird line of couches in the back. I'm old and grumpy about things.

Judging by which albums they played on each night I would have guessed the opposite :iiam:

Science of selling yourself short
