New site? Maybe some day.
|
It's only a week away! I really think this is going to be a great show, so I hope all you crazy kids can make it.
I talked to the guy who usually books shows at Coyote... he seemed pretty cool and laid back... we ended up shooting the shit for over an hour about music and gigging, etc. In any event, he doesn't have any problem booking different kinds of bands as long as there'll be a good turnout.
That means IF A LOT OF PEOPLE SHOW UP NEXT WEEK, THE DOOR WILL BE OPEN FOR MORE OF US. So, who knows, maybe this won't be the last time anybody like us plays there... but if the turnout sucks, you can bet your ass we won't get invited back. He told me there are like 200 bands that are constantly on him for gigs there. This is a cosmic stroke of luck for us... let's take advantage of it.
PS - is this flyer less-gay, Mary?
|
|
are the gunmen headlining or opening? |
|
Yes. It is "less-gay", but now it's boring. Thumbs up. |
|

Probably going on second. I believe B&R will draw better than we, so we'll let them take all the glory.
But you fucks ought to show up anyway. |
|

Madam, I'll refer you to the ample breastidges at the top of the page. |
|
make sure jeff doesnt get too excited over the girls or he may have a heart attack |
|
I'm charging up my pace-maker as we speak. |
|
good to know you're prepared |
|
fuckin a Boston, come out to this show! Imagine, a place to play shows where the staff is hot women, not ugly slobs like Obriens. |
|
Haha
I just put this on the events calendar |
|
this is gonna be a classic |
|
Old men with guns killing rats that are eating bugs. |
|
One more day until the fun begins! |
|
new lineup (sigh):
Exploding Christ
The Old Men
The Gunmen
The Gunmen doing a bunch of covers |
|
my feelings have been crushed, i'm gonna listen to the Smith's and wonder why people like them so much. |

Yeah, man, sorry... I meant to write you back last night and fell asleep...
I think you guys would be just a little too much for this place, and the guy might end up shutting the whole night down, not knowing any of us. Worry not, though, we'll play together soon.
Later,
Bob
P.S. - People like the Smiths because they're big gay homos. |

They will for the purposes of playing... not sure if they'll be able to hang around afterwards... maybe.
|
|
this show is gonna be great. i'm gonna bring a dead coyote and throw it on stage at Mark! |
|
it sucks i wont get to watch the old/gunmen, but it'll be a grand old time regardless |
|

|
BOO YEAH.
Now if we could just find Nick.... |
|
norwellbob said: Bradness said:

Funny that you should say that. Brad is getting sick again. So you've lost your drummer for the night.
|
|
wait, really?
that would suck ballsack |
|
Nah, she jests.
She likes to fuck with me because she secretly loves the Gunmen. |
|
i think i just shit myself, who's got Charmin ! |
|
oh ok.
not that i'm gonna be able to watch your guys' set anyway, there's just been so many setbacks with this show already that bradness falling ill is the last thing we need. |
|
I think he might actually be getting sick, but he's a trooper.
I wasn't kidding about having to find Nick though. |
|
oh i believe the nick thing
good luck with that. |
|
so, who's going to get lucky tonight and hook up with one of the UGLY CHICS? |
|
My money's on the first guy to piss his pants.
It's happening.
|
|
THIS WILL BE A NIGHT TO REMEMBER. |
|
I would like to attend this but fate is working against me right now
|
|
going to this show, everyone must attend |
|
I need to rock out and get wasted |
|
then this is the perfect outlet for you. |
|
I'm gonna attempt to make it
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh |
|
What time is exploding christ going on? |
|
DOORS AT 8:30, SO I WOULD GUESS AROUND 9 |
|
i will actually be on time for this show... looking for beer, sex, and disrupt covers... fuckin right....
i know for a fact ill get beer, hopefully covers, but doubtfully sex.. haha |
|
know what i was just thinkin on the ride home...
most of those type of places (college preppy shit bars) have dress codes and stuf, imagine if they tried to say that tonight...
hilarity |
|
I went on their web site and didn't see anything about dress codes or anything like that, |
|
if there was, youd see a fight at the door before the show even started |
|
Brad is taking a nap. He seriously feels like shit. And Nick is still M.I.A. |
|
adios amigos, see you all tonight. |
|
we found Nick. He took a quick 3 day vaca in Spain, did some bullfighting. I coughed up something yellow,green and gooey with brown spots, i feel pretty! |
|
all the cool kids were there.... WHERE WERE YOU!!???!?!?!?!?!/11/1/?!?!?!
|
|
That was an awesome time, kudos to norwell bob and the hot bartendar with the black top and big hat. |
|
Last night was the balls, the old men had a hell of a time. I feel really old this morning, or that could just be my hangover talking. Thanks to gunman bob for hooking up the show. I got free drinks all night, I actually only paid for one. A message for all you kiddies, always take care of your bartender!!! Exploding Christ was great, as were the GunMen, I thought the 3 bands were a good fit for the show. I guess I should start working, so I will shut the fuck up. Penguin boxing!!!!! |
|
she's the one who gave me free drinks.
all night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
SuperFly said: she's the one who gave me free drinks.
all night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
same here, though it was coke, the other lady and those guys charged me 2 bucks per soda, but Melissa (i am on a first name basis with her now) kept hooking me up. |
|
Great show guys! I have to say, the place was different than I thought it would be. It was funny to watch people walk in, then get scared and leave. |
|
If those people got scared by a rock show, imagine if there was a metal show going on. |
|
'lil joe and 'lil melissa, has a nice ring to it. the other chic was a bitch, she's the one who had the NERVE to charge me for 1 drink. |
|
SuperFly said: 'lil joe and 'lil melissa, has a nice ring to it. the other chic was a bitch, she's the one who had the NERVE to charge me for 1 drink. |
I am only known as 'lil joe where it counts |
|
thats more than I need to know. |
|
SuperFly said: thats more than I need to know. |
You seemed to care alot the other night when you were trying on those dresses |
|
I emailed the place about doing a metal show, just to see what happens. |
|
Joe/NotCommon said: I emailed the place about doing a metal show, just to see what happens. |
If they could slap you via email, that's what would happen.
I'm still shaking the cobwebs off... I'll post later about what I remember, highlights, etc.
Bob |
|
Didn't you tell me that they said they were open to nearly anything as long as it there was no problems? |
|
Yeah... however, as we were breaking down last night, I jokingly said to that kid Russ, "So, should we start making arrangements for our next gig here?" and he replied, "They would KILL me."
I dunno, got a lot of conflicting information about the place, depending on who I talked to. Oh, and he was completely and utterly skeeved about the urinal cake.
Now that I think about it, so am I. *shudder* It..... touched me... |
|
Well, I will see what happens. |
|
urinal cake? is that anything like coffee cake? |
|
SuperFly said: urinal cake? is that anything like coffee cake? |
Try some and find out. |
|
id like to state for the record, both the bar tenders were ugly, and i didnt get hooked up for shit. |
|
isnt that gunmen song, did anyone ever tell you how 40 you are? about you? |
|
thats a fucking cheap shot! |
|
there was nothing cheap about the shots last night... |
|
I think Melissa was hot, not too keen on the other one. |
|
she was the better of the females... in the bar in general.. but i still wasnt diggin her |
|
you guys must enjoy the company of men |
|
I am on your side with that one joe, its just that ass keith got his in before me. |
|
hey, i have a nice ass, thank you |
|
oh okay, well it's good to know keith is the only raging homosexual in the 'scene' |
|
i saw way hotter chicks at the model after, and got 2 free zippos by dooping the girls there. |
|
Mark Kevorkian doesn't count as a hot girl, no matter how drunk you get. |
|
I got a free zippo last night too, it was from my drummer though. |
|
haha that scumbag, he thought some girl gave it to him cuz she liked him and then i told him some dude was giving them out for free and that broad probably got it from that zippo guy. he was devastated |
|
HAHAHAHA, at least when i got mine it was from 2 chicks, not some dude, i dont remember if they were cute, or i was drunk |
|
poor rick, you had to burst his bubble. |
|
I want to know how the other bands managed to play their whole sets and not knock those monitors over.
Monitors belong on floors, not stands. |
|
I'm too old to knock stuff over |
|
i had a great time, and i got to stay inside.
the old men were bad ass. sorry we stole your mosquito hating song, and tell rick i said thanks for letting me use his kit.
the gunmen fuckin ruled for the 20 minutes i saw of their set before having to leave and catch the last train back to lowell. thank you bob for getting us on at the last second and what not. |
|
no problem 'lil ben, you guys were great. reminded me of a lot of the old shit I used to listen to. |
|
sweet. and thanks for the use of the halfstack as well, sir. |
|
Yeah, I just realized I really didn't talk to the guys from Exploding Christ... sorry, wasn't being snobby or anything, I was still trying to put names to faces (I suck at that, sometimes I'll have to meet you 3 or 4 times before I recognize you)... and kinda running around dealing with shit at the place.
Also drinking.
Exploding Christ was really great, it's amazing what just two guys can do! Thanks for doing the show on such short notice, and hopefully we can do it again sometime. |
|
Also, the Old Men were fucking awesome. Really looking forward to playing with you guys again next month.
Word.
|
|
thank you sir, and dont worry about not talking to us.
we get that a lot. |
|

shut up and get back in your cage |
|
Yes, why, do you need him for something? |
|
haha no, keep him in his cage |
|
its fun getting him mad when you poke him with a stick through the bars |
|
I am officially dead on my feet. |
|
OK, may as well give a little review of the show...
The crowd was a little underwhelming considering the number of people who told me they were "definitely going"... you'd think I would have learned by now. I kept hoping to see more people come in as the show wore on, but to my disappointment, not many did.
So much for us getting another gig there, I guess. Oh well.
Exploding Christ was great... I really enjoyed their set a lot. Even the guy who works the board (Russ) was getting a kick out of it, and from my phone conversations with him he struck me as a little on the more-PC side. They did a great job paving the road for the rest of the night. Good job guys, let's do it again sometime.
The Old Men were excellent... this is the first I'd heard them, and I'm looking forward to playing with them again next month. Straight-forward rock, great leads, great vocals, there is a lot to like there. For the record, Jeff don't look that "old". *shrug* You guys need to commit some of your stuff to tape so I can have a copy. Maybe we could do a split? The "Men" split.
I thought our own set started off OK but I could sense my own playing deteriorate quickly... also knocking shit over. Yay alcohol. FWIW, a few people said, "no, you guys all sounded great", so hopefully that's true. I really am not in love with that stage; felt very cramped and I was standing on a shitload of wires and cables. Also, those monitors are not for me... give me a good (or even shitty) floor monitor over those things any day. Something I can put my foot on and look like the cock-rocker I am. Cock. We rolled through our set and, for some reason, were asked to play Homicide again. I love that song, but wasn't aware it was a crowd favorite. Then we did a bunch of covers... Yakuza/Samurai, which we usually do, then I think we tried to do Bite It You Scum... did we get all the way through that? Then some Misfits... Blitzkrieg... then we got shut off or something. It all gets foggy.
It was cool meeting some of you guys and putting faces to the names, hope you guys enjoy your demos, and had a good time. It wasn't quite the bash I was hoping for... it was more like any of our other gigs we've done in the past, but it was a nice change of venue, and now I can say, "yeah, I played Coyote Ugly".
Anybody who wants to check out some pics from last night can see them here:
