gories/oblivians reunion shows

They're doing one show in Memphis & one in Detroit + some European shows. anyone seen the Oblivians reunion shows? I love em, but it would be the Gories I'd be most curious about.

Gories must play "Hey Hey, We're the Gories"!

man I would see the hell outta some Gories.

Splendid news! No details on the European shows that I can find yet, be great if people can pass on info here.

I dearly hope Mick and co. can bring this thing down to the Tote in Melbourne.

holy shit

i guess there's no europe info yet

at least nothing that i could see here -

They're playing a festival in the UK:

whoa

would i pay 60 pounds to see the gories?

i think i would

I haven't decided yet, but I'm erring towards no. Would love to see the Gories & the Oblivians but don't know any of the other bands and it's in Nottingham.

I'm guessing that's not The Others with the guerilla gigs and the deeply dislikable fanbase there. Very odd festival that, frankly...

Got my tickets for Detroit! sweeeeeet.....

anybody go to Memphis last weekend? anyone going to Detroit ?

lolz didn't know the Gories were named after a Gidget episode

saw the Sat show in Memphis. A++

my buddy arturo just told me that because greg oblivian was adopted he doesn't know his exact age.

Detroit was incredible. INCREDIBLE.

Mick's noise shredding during "Ghost Rider" was just nuts

Gories playing here in a few months, but are the Oblivians playing anymore?

Still LOVE both of these bands, btw

man I would see the hell outta some Gories.

I think they have/just had a show in Brooklyn? (Oblivians)

amped for the gories show

yeah

FUCKING WEST COAST SHOWS FUCK

Play a non-festival show in the UK and I am there. Just sayin'

Where? Not on their myspace yet, I need to know. Willl travel.

Will be getting off a transatlantic flight only hours before their LA show. Hope I can keep it together.

i saw them saturday, it's pretty good. gories to me are one of the coolest looking bands of all time so seeing them older and less cool was not going to blow my mind obv. but they sound real good, dan doesn't sing quite as much and his voice isn't as smooth and deep. the dirtbombs dude picks up the slack, & sings lead on most tunes which is an ok compromise

How much "older" are we talking here

er, "smooth and deep"? are we talking about the same dan??

Anybody seen Danny and The Dar-leans play yet? Gories/Demolition Doll Rods dude Danny Kroha's new band. looks fun, pretty basic good time detroit rock n roll. He's also got a solo acoustic blues record coming out on Third Man that looks amazing.

The Gories finally made it to London last night. Mick's guitar was ear-splittingly loud, I actually wished I had earplugs at some points. Not ringing too bad today though.

Now we just need to get the Oblivians over here.

Heads up, the Oblivians playing Tufnell Park Dome July 27th!
