I will buy at the show and have every intention of taking a permanent sharpie to a white shirt and making a DEATH GRAPES tee to wear there

finally got a chance to listen through the new one, it's banging in a diff way than ex-military but their vibe def comes thru. plus I dig a cool sample as much as the next guy but it's nice to listen to them without getting "rumble" ruined for all time.

yeah, they cancelled ny now too. this is that bullshit
― (Name Withheld to Avoid Hassle) (forksclovetofu), Monday, 7 May 2012 17:02 (twelve years ago) link
kinda bummed cuz it woulda been cool to see them in a small room like TT, next time they come through they'll prolly be at some 1000 capacity venue
― diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Monday, 7 May 2012 17:05 (twelve years ago) link
kinda wanna say fuck these guys. they've been talking up this two albums in 2012 thing long enough to know before they booked the tour that they weren't going to have enough time, should've just never booked it in the first place.

kinda bullshit if it was just a way to get out a small club tour and re-book it in bigger venues...
around the time that her big song was breaking adele cancelled a gig at First Avenue because of a "sore throat", which just happened to be re-booked 2 months later at the 20,000 capacity target center
― l0u1s j0rdan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 7 May 2012 17:24 (twelve years ago) link
it could very well be a result of a label dispute re: contractual touring obligations
― sarahell, Monday, 7 May 2012 17:25 (twelve years ago) link
do you know those guys or something?
― l0u1s j0rdan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 7 May 2012 17:31 (twelve years ago) link
lol. no.
― sarahell, Monday, 7 May 2012 17:32 (twelve years ago) link
fwiw, i thought the whole Adele sore throat thing was a legit medical thing, which is why she's been talking about retiring.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 7 May 2012 17:38 (twelve years ago) link
that's the problem when you book and then cancel a tour for weird reasons, ppl start distrusting yr motivations
xps
― diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Monday, 7 May 2012 18:25 (twelve years ago) link
well, its one thing when its like Guns N Roses/Adele whatever when the venues need the artists more than the artists need the venue.
Like, dude has been touring 10 years and knows the importance of like making sure the dude from TT The Bear's isnt pissed at you, which is why i think there's probably something bigger going on
― suidavyvan eht nioj (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 7 May 2012 19:00 (twelve years ago) link
Not to be confused with bullshit Beirut/Wavves/xx crybaby tantrums of having never toured a day in your life and then bailing because it;'s actually hard work
― suidavyvan eht nioj (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 7 May 2012 19:01 (twelve years ago) link
Really curious what the actual story is here and bummed that I won't be seeing them (again).

death grips vs animal collective: who will suffer more backlash on their next album?
(ps after having seen death grips in a very small diy venue, I will say you probably want them to reschedule to a bigger place. unless you like punk kids bo)
