FRIDAY, uh and thanks for last night.

Wow, still bleary eyed from last night's show. Thanks to everyone who showed up and supported us, The Gentle Suit and The Side. It was really heart warming to have some warm bodies there for Steve's first show in town. Now then, ahem...

This is gonna be hella fun as 1) it's the World Famous Milestone; and 2)We're playing with 'thank you, spaceman' and they are all going to be dressed like killer bees. (ok I lied about the killer bee thing). There are also rumors that gogoPilot is performing only with chainsaws and egg-beaters(of course I started that rumor...so you know...).

pardon the construction

On Elizabeth Avenue.

If you are coming out to Saturday night's show @ the SK Net, be aware that they've REALLY torn up most of Elzabeth. You might have an easier time parking by coming in from Independence at the Double Door and just driving around back. I feel for those businesses in the area. They have had that street torn up for months down on the CPCC end.

MEAT PUPPETS (still awesome)

Yayyyy. I finally got to see the Meat Puppets. It is so good to see (albeit grizzled) Chris Kirkwood out of the slammer/rehab etc... He was quite the energetic bass playinz last night. The only shortcoming was the fact that they were opening for some band called Built to Spill who I guess are some kind of big deal. But you know, they weren't the fucking Meat Puppets. And Meat Puppets rocked...in a southwestern~countrified~punk rock sort of way. I'd gotten to see Kurt Kirkwood with Eyes Adrift (twice) and thought I'd never see both brother playing together again. In any event, it was a good show. I could have stood more Puppets and less Spill but they were fine. I just couldn't really get into what their songs were about.
The Meat Puppets : The Meat Puppets are an American rock band formed in January 1980, in Paradise Valley, Arizona. The group's classic lineup was Curt Kirkwood (guitar/vocals), his brother Cris Kirkwood (bass guitar), and Derrick Bostrom (drums). One of the more notable groups on the roster of SST Records (who released most of their early albums), the Meat Puppets could be broadly classified as punk rock, but like most of their SST peers, the Meat Puppets established their own unique style, blending punk with country and psychedelic rock, and featuring Curt's warbling vocals.
