Dillinger Four have posted a release date and cover art for their highly anticipated followup to Situationist Comedy, titled Civil War. And it’s even confirmed by Fat, so we know it’s for real this time and they can’t take it back. Civil War will be realeased October 14th on Fat Wreck Chords.
Ok, ladies and gentleman. I gotta say…I’m writing this and freaking out about what might be the greatest news of the month or year. Dillinger Four. In NYC. For two days. WITH MATT AND KIM AND THE CIRCLE JERKS!
The only problem though is that the Saturday show is the same day as Hot Water Music’s show at Terminal 5. Fear not though because there will be a Brooklyn show the next day. Is the sky falling? More info after the jump.
Frankie Stubbs of the the mysterious-and-insanely-amazing (just couldn’t think of a better way to describe them) Leatherface has posted a cover of the Dillinger Four staple “Doublewhiskeycokenoice” on his Myspace. Check out the link and click on “D4 Boat” and sing along. Thanks to the ‘Org for the tip.
Watch Against Me! watching themselves play “Stop” on the late night show hosted by the wacky Patrick Kilpatrick (aka Paddy from D4!)

Ladies and gentleman, the wait is over. It’s time now for part two of our Fest VI day-to-day coverage special feature. Onwards my bearded friends!
Saturday was the most action packed day of the weekend in terms of the large volume of bands that were scheduled to play. A full day of music was at hand, with bands playing from 1 p.m. to nearly 2 a.m. There was even an early bird gathering at DIY record shop Wayward Council at 6 a.m. Well, I wasn’t mentally or physically prepared to wake up that early even though I wanted to see just how many people would actually show up. I did, however, get up early enough to hit up the annual No Idea Records yard sale at the label’s headquarters. The event was a little bit different than last year but the hour and a half wait was well worth it. An mindblowing amount of Hot Water Music and Against Me! test pressings and various rare and out-of-print records could be purchased. I could have easily spent all of my money in no more than five minutes but after dropping eighty bucks on some wax, I was ready to see some bands.
