great title
― mizzell, Thursday, 7 July 2011 15:02 (twelve years ago) link
already "this is the best" is the perfect distillation of what these guys do. 14 minutes of unrelenting awesomeness.
― tylerw, Thursday, 7 July 2011 15:03 (twelve years ago) link
Think they are planning to go to Australia next year. I'm surprise there are already promos for the new one, don't think it's coming out til the fall?
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 7 July 2011 15:51 (twelve years ago) link

― tylerw, Thursday, 7 July 2011 15:55 (twelve years ago) link

my little review of the new one here: http://ow.ly/6bToa really loving it, annoyed that they seem to have tour dates scheduled in every US city except mine.

Try living in Mid Missouri (oh, but they are def playing here)Their last show in town was in the basement DIY space and it fucking COOKED.
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
Oh and your writeup is sweet. OTM.
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 19:53 (twelve years ago) link
Their last show in town was in the basement DIY space and it fucking COOKED.is this their thing, playing nontraditional venues? the denver show they played was a totally random head shop/record store/art space that i'd never heard of before and haven't heard of since. god, it was so good.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 19:55 (twelve years ago) link
It is sometimes their thing, not always. They've all got a lot of experience with touring and playing rock shows. Sometimes a non-traditional space is just more attractive.Sometimes, getting paid is.
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 19:58 (twelve years ago) link
they may have been paid in weed at the show i saw.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 19:59 (twelve years ago) link
This is awesomehttp://vimeo.com/29128356
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 22 September 2011 18:44 (twelve years ago) link
sweet!

lol, the record release show for the new albumw as played on a flatbed truck driving down Milwaukee Avenue here in Chicago. Really wanted to go, but wasn't able to do so.

Check that link I just posted
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 22 September 2011 19:25 (twelve years ago) link
ah, didn't click the link, most videos on vimeo won't play at work
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 22 September 2011 19:26 (twelve years ago) link
this makes me want to drive up to baltimore to see them.
― skip, Thursday, 22 September 2011 19:33 (twelve years ago) link
as noted upthread, they were pretty godlike for me when i saw 'em last year.
― tylerw, Thursday, 22 September 2011 19:36 (twelve years ago) link
that video is great -- there are lots of recognizable places, but the parts i like best are the anonymous intersections.
― some lady (La Lechera), Thursday, 22 September 2011 20:50 (twelve years ago) link
saw these dudes last night they were pretty cool
― flopson, Thursday, 22 September 2011 23:27 (twelve years ago) link
they hit up the local npr station today apparentlyhttp://www.wbez.org/episode-segments/2011-10-14/grooving-some-caves-neverendless-jams-93151

The rhythmic orchestration of the rock band Cave typically unwinds slowly but steadily over lengthy songs. They are often called "roller-rinkin’ rock for the next generation."
Confused about what that phrase means? The band sat down with Eight Forty-Eight to explain what exactly roller-rinkin' rock is and why they are not your typical jammers
― Art Arfons (La Lechera), Friday, 14 October 2011 18:42 (twelve years ago) link
Gonna see them tonight. So stoked.Cooper insists that they are a funk band now. Hafta laugh.
― Trip Maker, Friday, 14 October 2011 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
I'm going tomorrow night, will report back on level of funk.
― Art Arfons (La Lechera), Friday, 14 October 2011 21:43 (twelve years ago) link
annoyed that they seem to have tour dates scheduled in every US city except mine.this, still. jealous you guys are seeing them.
― tylerw, Friday, 14 October 2011 21:59 (twelve years ago) link
Not to rub it in, but I'm gonna get to see them twice on this tour!Which is cool and all, but the fact that I can't you know BE IN THE BAND and actually go on tour still kind of stings.
― Trip Maker, Friday, 14 October 2011 22:04 (twelve years ago) link
crash the stage! "i'm back in the band!!"
― tylerw, Friday, 14 October 2011 22:11 (twelve years ago) link
I get to every now and again. It's the long hours in the van with the dudes that I really crave though.
― Trip Maker, Friday, 14 October 2011 22:13 (twelve years ago) link
And they are playing tonight and tomorrow with ANOTHER band that I used to be in.It's going to be really great to be in the same room with so many good friends.
― Trip Maker, Friday, 14 October 2011 22:15 (twelve years ago) link
so psyched, they're playing in Denver next week! at the very same mysterious head shop as last year.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 17:47 (twelve years ago) link
Hey, all right.
― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 17:49 (twelve years ago) link
Playing in my town on Friday night!
― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 17:50 (twelve years ago) link
they played for free on monday but i didn't go because i saw that show a few weeks ago
― Yasmine Teeth (La Lechera), Tuesday, 8 November 2011 18:13 (twelve years ago) link
lol, well that was a bummer. drove an hour down to denver for this show, sat through two opening acts. then, they announce that THREE more bands are going to play at the club next door, and everyone should go watch those. Wait around, wait around, wait around, and it's 1:15am on a Sunday night and i'm literally falling asleep on my feet. last opening act still going strong. i guess i'm getting old or something, but i can't wait until 2am for a band to play! yeesh.
― tylerw, Monday, 14 November 2011 15:40 (twelve years ago) link
jeez, is that a regular mysterious head shop procedure? driving back home in a few minutes, gonna blast the album once more.
― willem, Monday, 14 November 2011 15:46 (twelve years ago) link
ha i don't know, they played at a reasonable hour the last time! i'm all for playing alternative venues and whatever, but this just got kind of silly.
― tylerw, Monday, 14 November 2011 15:53 (twelve years ago) link
Bummer city. Sorry to hear that.They did a cover of DJ Funk's "XTC" on Friday night, it was amazing.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 14 November 2011 15:58 (twelve years ago) link
Sorry to hear that tyler, but that would have been annoying to me too. I'm not sure I'd have even made it as late as you did on a Sunday night.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 14 November 2011 17:00 (twelve years ago) link
just got word that my friend stuck it out. they went on 1:45-ish. "it was awesome," he said.
― tylerw, Monday, 14 November 2011 17:03 (twelve years ago) link
That is way too late. I'm sure it wasn't the band's decision.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 14 November 2011 17:05 (twelve years ago) link
yeah we talked to one of the dudes who put the show together and he was like "i don't think cave will ever play here again."
― tylerw, Monday, 14 November 2011 17:06 (twelve years ago) link
Hah, as they shouldn't. Shitty shitty thing to do to a band and the audience.
― grandavis, Monday, 14 November 2011 20:59 (twelve years ago) link
i do think they got a lot of free weed though, so ...
― tylerw, Monday, 14 November 2011 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
They described the place to me as less a head shop, more a speak easy. It sounded a lot like this "record store" that operated in my town called "K3v1n's World" that really seemed like a front for the proprietor to get underage kids drunk. Did you get some BBQ, at least?
― Trip Maker, Monday, 14 November 2011 21:31 (twelve years ago) link
i missed the bbq! it must be more of a clubhouse kinda place than an actual place of business. though there is a sign out front now! they actually had a pretty awesome cooler full of microbrews.night wasn't a total loss, got to hang out w/ some friends, drink a few beers. just hope cave plays somewhere slightly better organized next time!
― tylerw, Monday, 14 November 2011 21:34 (twelve years ago) link
Cooper says there will be a Bitchin Bajas sounds and visuals event happening at the Music Box in Chicago "in weeks." Didn't see anything on their website, don't know the exact date. New LP+DVD later in the year.
― Trip Maker, Friday, 6 January 2012 02:27 (twelve years ago) link
in TWO weeks jesus
― Trip Maker, Friday, 6 January 2012 02:28 (twelve years ago) link
OoooOoooo!! Thanks for posting, will read the emails from the music box now. Last one announced an appearance by Crispin Glover.
