Archers of Loaf reunion?!

before, aft, 'sall good

yeah!

got tickets to both chicago shows! very psyched!

haha i thought about getting tix to both ny shows but as it is i think the one show is the most expensive ticket i've bought since seeing prince

got tix for first chicago show btw

holding out for the small (23) reunion now

using it as an excuse to go home to dc

Small 23 reunion? Ha, won't draw much of a crowd.

c'mon true zero hook rocks

chopsocky?

Strapping Fieldhands are great too but I went to their show at Cake Shop and the crowd was practically me and the opening acts.

Ok Chicago better give me some ELBOW ROOM because I forgot how ridiculous fun it is to dance to "Harnessed in Slums"
It's not the 90s anymore and I am not too cool to dance

got my chicago tix, very excited

oops i already said that but i am still excited!

preshow chicago fap? who else is going to chicago show? webmail me and we can arrange things!

that might be cool but i am hitching a ride w/someone so i'm now sure what his itenerary is and stuff

you don't have to hang out with me the whole time or anything -- don't worry ;)
no pressure, lemme know

i can see how you might be apprehensive about having anything to do with the person who just finished saying get outta my way this (making a square) is dance space haha

NYC people and those nearby can try to get in and see them play Jimmy Fallon on 6/24. I'll have to settle for watching at home.

sweet

Oh that's this Friday night

so is there a LES/Brooklyn FAP related to this show?

no?

i am going to the saturday wburg show; dunno about fappin

CAD and I no longer going to show ;_;. You can damn well were would have planned a FAP where that not the case. Hope it's great.

You can damn well were would have planned a FAP where that not the case.

I am apparently suffering from a broken brain.

I meant to say that you can be certain we would have organized something if we were still going.

bah i never did get tickets for any of these

what a bunch of bummers! i am still going to the chicago show and am still excited about it.

Guessing no one here got in for the Fallon taping. Wondering what song they'll do.

Harnessed in Slums would be my guess (Web in Front is only two minutes long). Mind would be blown if they bust out something rare.

yeah i was not invited alas

Wow they did "Wrong!"

Also, while everyone else looks about 13 years older than the last time I saw them, Matt Gentling has been preserved in amber and remains perpetually 20-something.

hahaha so cute

he's the best

They did a bonus performance of Harnessed...and it fucking smokes.

Wow, you're not kidding. That's pretty amazing on all levels.

tonight's songs (not in this order):

web in front
wrong
you and me
might
plumb line
slow worm
audiowhore
lowest part is free!
freezing point
revenge
what did you expect?
bacteria
harnessed in slums
greatest of all time
1985/fabricoh
nostalgia
smokin' pot in the hot city
scenic pastures
worst defense/attack of the killer bees
form and file
dead red eyes

opened with audiowhore/harnessed; bacteria was the last encore

some dude tried to get up on stage and dance during bacteria, but he had really poor timing and basically just got there after the first loud part ended; it was lol

matt gentling looks exactly the same and may have been wearing the same jeans from 13 years ago

eb is a v. large man, especially next to those guys

it was grebt and i am happy

fuck that fallon clip SMOKES!!!

so fucking excited for the chicago shows!!!

btw if any ilxors are at the archers of loaf show, look for me I'll be the mid-30s tall skinny bald guy with close cropped hair, dark glasses frames, wearing jeans and a plaid short sleeved collar shirt!

see you there! look for a small brunette in her mid 30s who is unable to control her enthusiasm.

aww

williamsburg set

tomorrow night in chicago y'all
see u there homies

All They Ever Wanted Was to Be Your Spine

I'm in the house

man this was so much fun, both shows were great

Listening to the Icky Mettle reissue: I guess it's been remastered? I can't tell tbh. It doesn't sound any clearer or fuller, maybe just louder. And the 2nd disc just has the AOLvsGOAT ep and a few other things that were already on The Speed of Cattle. So yeah, unless you've been hunting a copy of Icky Mettle on vinyl for a few years w/o any success, this whole thing seems kind of superfluous.

oh right. black cat next friday. lol i've had these tickets for a while.
