To quote tommydski from a different thread:
tommydski wrote: i have this system whereby i never have to listen to music at all. it's astounding how successful it is. try it for yourself guys, seriously. all you do when someone recommends a band is put their name into google image search and from the first couple of pictures you have to decide if you like them. the weird thing is the system is 100% accurate.

Well here we have it:

The guy wearing the baseball hat in the middle was the bass player. Total arrogant prick who was playing barefoot on a filthy,sticky stage. Smart move. The formally trained singer is in the foreground wearing the gray sweat shirt. Just look at the way he is looking into the camera. It's the, "I don't have to ever prove myself, and I never have, because I'm that good" look.

Picture that asshole playing his shitty music and saying, "I would like to thank the opening bands for making us look so good." Holy jesus, if it wasn't so absurd the appropriate response is to punch him in the face, kick the bass played in the nuts, then point at the drummer and laugh.

I am 110% sure that this would have been the only sensibly way to remedy the situation.

you are telling me those guys don't fuck each other?
Come on, look at that shit.
I bet there's all kinds of drama within the band, the singer fucks both of the other dudes and nobody ever talks about it but there's that tension...
Maybe that's what makes them so powerful live

I know what you mean but it was fun and better than the usuall practice at our space. Trust me if we could get bookings at better places we be there in a heartbeat. I'm looking at you Empty Bottle and Hideout.



I agree. If it wasn't for these bars (Elbo Room, etc), it would be difficult as shit to get a gig in chicago due to the occasional douchebaggery at the hipster venues. I think the problem this particular night lies with Orion's location (Arlington Heights, IL) rather than the Elbo Room. Not that I have anything agaist Arlington Heights.

YES!!!!!!


I honestly thought maybe you guys made this up? I mean they only have 12 friends and 1 comment on their myspace page.


Wait. Did you make this up?

If you did. Then your a fucking genius!!


Like we played our set, then dashed off and changed into elaborate costumes and played a set as Christian Frat Boys?
Including learning a Radiohead song?
There's no way I would put any effort whatsoever into learning a Radiohead song, no way.
