update, I won't tape them, Massimo told me they'd prefer not to have the new songs circulating before the new records are out (I guess he meant both "intermediate..." with its release postponed till autumn and the new one they're about to record).
Still, I'll take some pics and maybe some vids with my canon.

Going to see Swervedriver tonight in Toronto. It's the NXNE festival so there's a shitload of opening acts and Swervedriver aren't scheduled to go on until 1am so I'm a bit worried their going to be forced into an abbreviated set. Whatever though, I've been waiting half my life to see them.

I have tickets for the following but will probably cry off those in brackets in favour of sleep...

June 13th - MBV warmup, ICA
June 14th - MBV warmup, ICA
(June 15th - Sunburned Hand of the Man, Corsica Studios)
(June 16th - Melt Banana, ULU)
June 17th - Liars + Deerhunter + High Places, Koko
June 20th - MBV, Roundhouse
June 21st - MBV, Roundhouse
June 22nd - MBV, Roundhouse
June 24th - Radiohead, Victoria Park
June 25th - Radiohead, Victoria Park
June 26th... - Glastonbury Festival

Went to The Breeders at the Orange Peel last night. Great show. Kim and Kelley's voice sounded great, although I think Kim was more than a little wasted. Opening band was Magic Wands, never heard of them before, they were decent as far as opening bands go




You can see my pictures here. Not too great, wasn't using flash and the crowd was moving quite a bit.

MBV on June 22

That's about it for now. Tried to get tickets for Wooden Shjips in Brighton but they sold out super fast :(

good lord...i think MBV at the ICA may be the best gig i've ever been to in my life

I was there to. I thought it was a decent show, but I really don't dig the Breeders that much. I really wish they would have at least covered "Gigantic." Anyway here is a picture of the Deals:




Oh, and some upcoming shows:

Daniel Johnston, The Orange Peel on June 24th
Tom Waits, Knoxville Civic Auditorium on June 29th
and a long way off....The Black Keys at The Orange Peel on October 3rd.

I was disappointed with no "Gigantic" too. From that pic you must have been close to me.

Oh, Nels Cline Singers, $15, 1 & 1/2 hour drive, should I go?

No gigs planned.

This thread has reminded me to look for shows though.

i'd love to see a show for $15 dollars.

-soft fangs, july 19, again because it's a cheap show.

-pretty boy floyd, aug 2, because i want to laugh along to some hair metal.

-sons and daughter, sep 4, arab strap's backing band so perhaps.

-heavy metal circus, sep 6, featuring GORGOROTH!! entombed, marduk, cephalic carnage and nifelheim.
