Our friends in The Measure [SA] are embarking on a two week tour. The tour, which starts today, will see the band going to Minnesota and back. Along the way, they will play with some awesome bands including Off With Their Heads, the Fuck Yeahs!, Defect Defect, among others.

The band is celebrating the release of their brand spankin’ new 7-inch split with the Modern Machines, which is available from Salinas Records. The band will also be releasing their “Old Crow” 7-inch through Los Diaper Records very soon.

Go buy some records, show them some support, get them drunk and fed and say hi to Walter for us.

The night started off with a bang. Well, more like with a chill, as I stood outside of Europa in the cold for maybe an hour, waiting for the doors to open. What can I say; I had nothing to do and decided to get there early to catch the whole show, which besides World/Inferno and Paint It Black also included The Vicious and The Measure (SA). Eventually they started to let kids in, which brought a wave of relief from the amassed kids standing outside. For April, it was pretty friggin’ cold. I’ll never understand Mother Nature’s eternal need to fuck with me, but whatever. I wasn’t planning on letting that bother me.

 I’d been anticipating this show for a while, so after work I got some Chinese food for dinner and took my time strolling downtown to Lit Lounge to check it out. Literally the heart and soul of pop-punk, this lineup was probably one of the heights of the NY punk social season. Despite advertising, the show didn’t start until about 9, which was fine and gave Matt P. and I plenty of time to start pouring liquid courage down our necks. Keep this in mind as it’s a prevalent theme throughout the night.

Downstairs, Short Attention begin to play. Composed of (from what I could tell) Mike Erg and one of the members of the Steinways, among others, Short Attention kicked the night off with a bang. I never really thought that an ode to cabbage could kick so much ass. Their short songs are just bursts of awesome and incredibly funny. The crowd at the front of the stage had already started hardcore singing along. If you get a chance, check them out.

Quite an odd mix of people turned out for the V-Day benefit show at the Delancey on Saturday. After two painfully uncomfortable bands that made Evanescence look like pioneers and an unexpected apperance from the keytar, The Measure [Sa] stepped up and got the crowd moving. Good times were had by all; dude rock dances were rocked by some.
