that was great, have they always played several songs from Axl Rose? really happy that the 2nd guitar dude nailed all the backing vox in the bridge to "Unconditional Love"

― Mordy, Monday, 8 September 2014 20:32 (nine years ago) link
for 9:30 club they were $40, and they sold out fast--a great show to be sure, but the steep price put me off of being interested.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 8 September 2014 21:07 (nine years ago) link
i would even have winced and paid 35 but 40 for a non-arena big rock club show is ridiculous to me

HOOS, how big is the venue? Against Me play a small club west of Ft Lauderdale at least twice a year and never charge more than $25.

Definitely the best rock record to come out this year. Like White Crosses and New Wave.

there was a nice piece i thought at noisey the other day that was like "how i learned to stop worrying and love against me! (again)" about how this fan had gotten off the bandwagon after axl rose but came back into the fold with TDB, really thoughtful read on like "being a AM fan" i thought

I don't really know Against Me! that well, but I wanted to share this local story that I thought was a really nice thing the band did.
on their last tour they took Venus De Mars as an opening act. Venus is a local Minneapolis legend of sorts, she's 55 now, the article says didn't come out as transgender until her 30s, but was known for years locally as the frontwomen for All The Pretty Horses, a sort of punk/glam/metal band that played locally here for many years. Anyway the state audited her for filing as a musician and came after her for back taxes, resulting in a lengthy legal battle (which she eventually won but after a lot of expenses)
anyway i guess Against Me! took her out as an opening act recently which i dunno struck me as a really nice gesture, certainly bigger shows & presumably bigger paydays than Venus has ever seen in doing music for a few decades.

here's the story:
http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/music/298162101.html?page=1&c=y
The auditors essentially said that the $20,000 or so that Venus averaged per year in her music career — her only source of income — was not enough for her to call herself a professional musician.
(raises middle finger)
― sleeve, Tuesday, 7 April 2015 15:17 (nine years ago) link
yeah a couple years ago the state auditors really seemed to go after the arts community, a recording studio a friend worked at was forced out of business because they suddenly reclassified the type of service that recording studios were and went after them for back sales taxes. of course, faced with fighting it legally...or losing and having to pay the back taxes...given the small tough margins that studios are under these days anyway they just folded :(

Update, now that I've seen the whole thing: only the first couple of minutes are about Orlando. The rest is about trans issues, the N. Carolina bathroom idiocy, etc but still a really good interview.
