Thrillhouse, Friday 7/11/2008
Years ago, we played a show in Brooklyn--Hallowe'en, 2003?--and we finally made it back last month for another show. It was great: lots of people, great readings, great bands, and Goodbye Blue Monday turned out to be an excellent place to have a show on a warm Sunday night. Thanks to anyone reading this who turned out for the show. We were excited and eager to play, and the show lived up to and beyond our hopes.
Probably on that same long-ago tour, we played in Bloomington, Indiana. I'm not sure when we'll get back there, but one of my favorite products of the Bloomington scene, Ghost Mice, are coming to Thrillhouse this Friday with some friends they made on a tour of Ireland, the Heathers. Also playing will be their old friends from San Francisco, Onion Flavored Rings.
This is probably going to be our last show for a while. Erick is headed off on another trip, possibly related to his book. No, definitely related: either he's promoting it, or recovering from it. And we thought putting out a record was hard!
Which reminds me, we still have newish records out: our epic 7" concept record, 5 billion years in the making, on Thrillhouse Records; and our split with Future Virgins on 1234Go Records. If you think you don't need the OFR/FV split on vinyl because there's a digital version floating around out there on the web, I beg to differ: I've heard the MP3s, and they're not only low-quality, but about 5% too fast. Fine if you're in a hurry, but not exactly what either band sounds like.
Eventually, we'll issue a proper CD version, and MP3s will be here for you. You miss out on the artwork, though. And there's nothing like colored vinyl.
