Hey Josh Wow, you know a bit about the scene. Ever hear of the Argonauts or the Gammas?

Good enough. I could always track down myspaces if I felt like it. I just ask because they're playing the Thanksgiving show with 4point0, Magic Goat, and the Furies and I've heard enough good things about Magic Goat to anticipate it a little. EDIT http://myspace.com/gammasthe Ehhh. The influences thing has me wary. Anyone who cites Leftover Crack is a terrible human being on principle. Also a lot more of a punk sound than I was expecting. Than again, Kingston Beat booked Flatfoot 56 so why am I surprised BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Nov 4, 2008 |

Yeah I really can't afford to take a night off and go to this show but how many chances am I going to get to see my friends open for the Toasters?

If they do that set tonight you won't see me posting afterwards I'll be too busy fapping because those are my two favorite songs. If everyone who says they're going on Facebook shows up, we'll have like 80 people in a room that had a hard time holding 50. Oh yeah.

They were a lot of fun, though, and the people who were there were great, super friendly. Got to hear a lot of favorites. The set opener was Two-Tone Army and the closer was Don't Let The Bastards Grind You Down.

Going to be impossible not to have fun. My friends are opening, followed by The Action, another local band, and then Flatfoot and the Toasters

We had 70 people packed into Funk 'n Waffles last night. It was loving great. Ska Danny even abandoned his post at the door for the Toasters' set. Best musically? The Toasters, of course. But best set, best performance, was Straighter Than Pete. The singer's brother came on stage with them to do one song, they played Santeria (holy poo poo it went nuts for that), and then they ended with Centerfold. After he finished singing Centerfold, the singer, a kinda fat guy, crowd-surfed from one end to the other and back again. It was loving great.

It ain't a pit unless it's you and four or five friends and nobody wants to move back, so the six of you are in a four square foot area going in a circle and trying not to die. And then you give up on that last part and start trying to take each other out "accidentally."

Also, whoever the Toasters have running their merch table on this tour is an rear end in a top hat. If you got within three feet of the table, he'd throw you back into the circle But the room was small enough that you were never more than two feet away at that point in the circle. Guy was a loving dick.

Guys...I have made a grievous error. Maybe it was just because I tried listening to them at the wrong time in my life but...I actually find myself enjoying the Aquabats. How have I lived this long without them?

Good enough for me. They're doing a show the 23rd with 4point0, RoboBuddies, and probably someone else. I pray to god it's not Native Informant. If they ever start touring, just hope you don't ever play a show with Native Informant. It's bad. Really bad. And their songs are all like ten minutes long. Hopefully they'll get The Action or Straighter Than Pete to fill the fourth spot.

To quote an earlier post in this thread, the age that Ben Carr stops dancing at is the age when you're too old for ska. I actually saw Wixson right before Halloween and he did a pretty good set. Covered Flaming Tsunami's Zombies Vs Robots which got the crowd roaring along while we set up. He did his Babylon Party Machine stuff later on but we were already out the door, it was like midnight at that point.

Decent meaning "I didn't really mind it, but I also didn't really want him to keep playing, and we bailed while he was setting up for the second set" BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Dec 19, 2008 |

Calavera posted:THANK YOU. For a while I really thought I was the only person in the world who didn't care for him. Let's put it this way: I've seen a lot worse going to every local show in the last year. I've seen first-wave jam bands that played too long, and skacore that just sucked dick. He's not THAT bad, but he's not as good as The Action or Straighter Than Pete or even some of the crappy college bands I've seen, either

Doubleposting to say holy poo poo, Razbari Sumthing is doing a reunion show Tuesday night in Syracuse. CNY goons, I demand your presence, this was/is like the best local ska band, they broke up a few years ago, and now they just play when everyone is back in town.

guppy posted:I love Al Barr and I like basically all of the Murphys' catalogue. And yes, I like Barr-era Murphys somewhat more than McColgan-era Murphys. But McColgan contributed some fine work that I like a lot and I thought it deserved recognition. There's a handful of songs that I do like McColgan's version of better. Barroom Hero and Finnegan's Wake come to mind. Barroom Hero kinda needs that rasping almost slurring voice to sound great. But the rest of that album is hard for me to sit through. Blackout on the other hand, I've done drunken sing-alongs to.

You haven't sung along with that album till you find a girl to sing Dirty Glass with you Hint it's so rad And while yes Road of the Righteous is a good song, I like Barr's version better. Also, not a fan of the acoustic pub version of Boys on the Docks. Live version is about ten times as awesome.

See I don't get the love for second wave, or even third-wave that sounds like it. It all sounds the same to me, with a few exceptions, like the Toasters. But hey, to each his own. Is it local band plug time? I believe it is! http://www.myspace.com/therobobuddies Right there, another ska/rock/something or other band.

Most of the bands I plug here, with the exception of like The Action and Endive, are local-only for now. Either it's because they're in college and only play when they're home, or if it's 4point0 it's because almost half the band is still in high school. Pretty sure they're doing an east coast tour this summer though once they get the album recorded. I know someone in most of the little bands, friend of a friend and all that, I can always ask them to set up a mailing thing or get a copy for people or something.

Well that was an interesting show. Atomic Potato's drummer quit right before the tour, and nobody wanted to tour without a drummer but their singer/guitarist, so he put all the other parts on his ipod, BTMI style, and went on stage anyway. He was still great, better than some of the bands I've seen. Oh and the headliner, Razbari Sumthing doing a reunion show, was loving amazing. Just like wow.

I was pretty let down by the cover of Talk Dirty To Me. The Regatta 69 version is so much better. The rest of it was pretty good though, Brown Eyed Girl is probably the highlight with Veronica Sawyer in second.

No, they were mad about Cheer Up, it's the one where they thought people were going to ahte them for selling out, so Aaron started the Forces Of Evil just in case. Post Cheer Up is alright, their last album was pretty bad though
