So, this is a Filter employee party? I work for the wrong company. I got to hang with the accountants at the Chrsitmas Buffet.

I seriously doubt it will be a two hour set; most likely the typical 90 minute set you're seeing on other dates.

It's right next to the L.A. Times and Spearmint Rhino, so possibly prostitutes.

The first thing I saw when I got of the freeway was a homeless guy walking in the middle of the street. Not crossing it, just staggering down it. It's quite a horrible area. It's going to be awesome.

I actually really like the block it's on. Seems pretty calm, but still has that raw venue feel to it. Couldn't find the actual building though. Warehouse-type district. I asked someone and he said it was right down the street, but I'm sure it will be easy to find when the show's going down.

I wouldn't doubt a two hour set. The set they played at the show I went to had to be somewhere close to two hours.

It will probably be a shorter set, but time afterwards to meet them or mingle or something. It is a party after all.

Place your bets, I say a 90 minute set. We'll see who wins soon.

You really think they're gonna hang out with the audience?

I think it'll be like any other sonic youth show; you can meet them afterwards, etc.

I hope we can get a free magazine...

i heard the free show is just a hoax and its really a giant republican party fundraiser.

Who's up for Japanese food in Little Tokyo before the show?

Do you guys think we have to have government issued ID's because my friend that's going with me only has a school ID?

No I think he'll be fine. They would have said something. They're probably just not going to let someone in if their laminate isn't registered to someone, or if it's registered to the same person. Like if they're both registered under one name, they'll only let one person in with them. Just make sure they're registered to two different people. I doubt you'll need ID unless you can/want to drink.

yes, i'm casting my lot with the typical hour and a half set, featuring the entire Rather Ripped Set plus the usuals from the nurse tour. though i'm interested to see how this new material jams live. anyone wants to smoke look for the rasta in the cut. blessings if it is in/out. if not, i'm getting kicked out for sure!

Anyone else been to their website and looked at the pictures? That place looks smokin' inside.

Its gonna be great. Its next to Rhino records? Thats cool! I've never been there.

No haha. It's next to a Spearmint Rhino, a strip club. Rhino Records is nowhere near there.

not so secret show broadcast
 

IT looks like the show is going to be broadcast on the web at www.littleradio.com
Tune in this Saturday night for a broadcast of SONIC YOUTH's "secret" LA show LIVE from Little Radio! Broadcasting 8pm-12am with Awesome Color opening and Shepard Fairey spinning records.
The show is INVITE ONLY and the list is CLOSED, sorry. Look for LOTS of photos Monday.

Ahahahahaha, that's sweet.

Haha...fuck that sucks. Still funny though.

What was the point of a "secret" show, if they were just going to give away the venue the day before to everyone?

i hope somebody makes a torrent of this show. or some type of recording. im gonna scream in the middle of one of the songs so i can say "hey thats me screaming!!"

they said doors open 830
sy plays at 10
and ends at 12

2 freakin hours!!! i dont know if i can handle that!

Ya I don't know. Probably just to keep it fun. Suspense. I dunno. I actually kind of liked wondering.

Me too. It really was 'secret' and that was fun but then they just told everyone, so it kind of took some of the fun away. But who cares? We are seeing SY tomorrow!

Um..it's going to be streamed through the intraweb. Just set up your computer to record it.

I'm so pumped.
Wooo.

anybody will record it, from radio?

I feel like I'm going to an 8th grade dance. What should I wear? Snakes on Plane shirt? Or Sonic Nurse tour shirt?

Seriously... do I be that guy and wear one of my many SY shirts, or if not, what other band t-shirt do I wear, being as how that's pretty much all I have outside of collared button-ups?

I happen to have an extra ticket for tommorows show at the forum after someone backed out on me. I'll bring it and it's first come first serve at face value for whoever wants it.

Are they going to be chill with me bringing a camera in?

I e-mailed them and they said cameras will be allowed.

They'd better be...

I'm either going to be wearing a Snakes on a Plane shirt, or a Coachella '06 shirt (both black, the latter with a pink bull's eye and a phone on it). So keep your eyes peeled.

That would be whack if they didn't let cameras in.

Wiggidy whack? I think so...

Fo sho!

What time are you guys planning on getting there?

they can't ban your cell phone.

I'm probably leaving at around 7:15, and it's a 45 minute drive, so around 8:00 I guess.

Why not?

I heard they're turning them off and holding them at the door.
