Mission of Burma has announced two gigs at the Bowery Ballroom in June. Awesome, regardless, BUT they will also being playing two of their classic releases in full. June 14th will see the band playing Signals, Calls, and Marches and on June 15th, Vs. will be spotlighted. Man, I’m pumped. Tickets go on sale this Friday. Check out the info here and here.
The date and initial lineup for the 2008 edition of the Superbowl of Hardcore has been announced. The show will take place on April 5th at Brooklyn’s Studio B. The lineup so far is packed to the gills with hardcore heavyweights, including Agnostic Front, Madball, Terror, a reunited Breakdown, Bloodclot, among many others. Be on the lookout for a few more additions and a surprise guest.
Starting today, tickets will be available at Generation Records for $26 (cash only and no phone transactions).
Check Black N Blue Productions for more details updates and check the lineup after the jump.
If you are like me than you were one of the many who missed out on the Boredoms’ almost-legendary Boredrums77 over the summer in New York City (editorial note: cry). Good news though because the Japanese psych-noise-ambient-what-have-you rockers have announced a decent sized spring tour. Several of the dates (including New York City) will be played “in the round,” heightening the already dangerous levels of ridiculousness. Check the dates after the jump!
As somewhat expected, Hot Water Music have announced a few more shows on their reunion tour. Along with the already confirmed Orlando, Sayreville, and Chicago dates, the ‘org is reporting that the boys have announced a Gainesville show (I mean, how could they NOT play there?!), a SXSW apperance and a few TBA’s along the way.
Staff writer Bill had this to say about the news (we were writing about this at the same time, haha) : Those who were at SXSW in Austin last year may have heard the rumors that Hot Water Music was playing a surprise reunion. (I had even received a wristband from someone for this supposed show!) It seemed possible, The Draft and Chuck were in town, but alas they did not perform.
Well, no rumors this year. Check the dates out below.
By the beard of Zeus, I freaking love Bridge and Tunnel! So much so that I ventured out into the cold, face-freezing weather to Greenpoint’s Lost and Found Bar to catch them. What amazes me about the band is that even though they have only been around for a short period of time, they already pack more intensity in a three minute song than most current bands do with an entire full-length. And hey, any band that can nail a cover of Rumbleseat’s “Cursing Concrete” deserves a ten in my book.
Do yourself a favor and pick up their self-titled debut 7-inch from No Idea Records. The band, which is made up of former members of Slingshot Dakota and Latterman, are currently hashing out their debut full-length. They are aiming to have the record out early on in 2008, so be on the lookout for that. And of course, we have a Bridge and Tunnel song in our Late Nix Mix player on the right, so check it out.
