Everyone keep their ears open for any additional shows, especially in the LA area.

If you haven't seen these guys live yet, now is your time.

Fuck, none near me. I'll have to go to a different state.

Yeah, definitely see them if you can. They played in the basement of a church near me last summer, I think, and it was fucking awesome.

I've seen them 3 or 4 times. Always worth it. They play a lot of unannounced warehouse shows and stuff. I think they are pretty hard to get wind of. I always hear from a friend who somehow knows, day of.

If you guys hear of those, those are the ones to post.

The best time I saw em was in an indoor parking garage. Fuckin class.

Saw them at Islington Mill in the UK, a dingy little cellar type place and was so glad I got the chance they are definitely worth experiencing once. Twisted my knee as well, still totally worth it.

One of the times I saw them, they ended up setting their gear up next to me in the audience, while the other band was still playing. As soon as the other band stopped, they started and the whole crowd surged toward us. I had to link arms wit someone I didn't know to create a human chain around the drums so that he wouldn't get knocked over. The usual show for them, right?

At some point, Brian's floor tom fell, mid-song and I held it up as he hit it. That guy is amazing.
