I heard the weather in Chicago is sub par for December. How about spring in Vancouver? No one shovels rain, except maybe when the squigee kids want to diversify.
All rambling aside and before Magnum comes back from commercial, are there any plans for Canada especially western Canada any time in the future? We have great cuisine, and a stunning back drop for the city.

Out of pure curiosity- were openers chosen by you guys or by promoters?

We always choose the opening bands.

Tight Phantomz!

I wonder if Tight Phantomz are going be doing their Fall cover? TPz and Shellac is a pretty toight line-up as Lust would say

Glad to see you guys are organising some warmup shows before you make the trip to Ireland.

Any hope at all for those under the age of 21? My friends and I were planning on coming out from Ohio, but all of us are underage. Please?

In that case, I would like to suggest you choose Complete. I'm sure there's some amount of cajoling that would convince them to reunite and come to Chicago. How awesome would it be for them to play to a crowd of people who like them? Well, there's a few of us anyway.
