Nashville's Dead

Wait, October ends this week? Didn’t it just start? Guess that’s just proof as to how many good shows have gone down this month, otherwise time wouldn’t have passed so quickly. How’s abouts this though… Let’s blow October up and finish it in the biggest way possible. Cool? Cool.

So those JEFF babes are sure getting loads of attention these days [and that’s just from BV] Even a lot of the local nay-sayers are starting to come around [We know it’s about being cool, but we’re just glad that you guys are capable of realizing when you’re wrong about something and willing to make a change.] The attention is much deserved though. I mean, show us a harder working band right now. The babies just played like one million shows at CMJ this year, and are cranking out video after video. Here’s their latest for “U Got The Look” which was directed by Brad Holland

We caught a sneak peak at their next video, and we’ll just say that it makes us want to cry when we watch it. Fuck, babes, it makes us want to cry when we hear it. If you haven’t already…. here.

Oh Arnold, you might be the only one who can sympathize with how I’m feeling right now. Check back tomorrow for lots of new posts and newsy tidbits. And for corrected posts/posts with more pictures [How anyone could think that KISS is playing on Oct. 21 is beyond me. And did someone seriously post a video of that crab-core bologna?? I mean, I know they did it as a joke, but that’s the last joke I want to see] Anyways, here’s to a loooong night of editing!

The world’s first annual Heavy Day was a blast: Cy was raw, The Looking Glass left us trippin’, and Grooms made us wish we could make sounds like that. JEFF really took the cake though, with their 42 minutes and 28 seconds of pure unadulturated HEAVY DAYS from start to finish. Here are photos from Bekah Cope documenting the celebration of the release of this year’s best album [Yeah, we said it. You know what else we’ll say? The decade’s best album. Eat it, Animal Collective]

If that’s not enough photos for you, you can head over to BrooklynVegan where our buddy Paul Birman put up some of his photos. They rule. Heavy Days rules.

Isn’t this a great picture of Peter Criss? Listen rockers, we have some news for you: KISS is coming to town! They were my first concert, I remember my stepmother driving me to the Starwood when I was the tender age of last year. ZO2 opened, followed by pre-Rock of Love Poison. KISS was amazing, and the drunk dude sitting next to me kept on showing me his new pilot’s liscense. He said he didn’t have to drive anymore, so he gave me his Florida learner’s permit so I could buy beer when I turn fourteen. Anyways, KISS is awesome, they’re playing the Sommet Center this Wednesday. Come, and join the KISS Army.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28

One time I was in Brooklyn and I saw Monotonix at the Siren Music Festival and it was probably one of the more crazy shows I’ve been too, but the whole time I thought how much better they would be in a club. Sure, it’s great for bands and festivals make for great photo-ops, but big crowds like the one at Siren kinda kill the concert experience for me. Especially when we saw them a couple years ago at Springwater and they blew our guts out. Plus their guitarist kept on elbowing me in the face at Siren. The last time they rolled through our fair city was no exception to the havoc their known for causing. They split a bill with hometown heros Silver Jews [Dave Berman, if you read this, please know that you mean more to me than you’ll ever know. Never know.] You remember that show. Go see them and welcome back Turbo Fruits from a hearty tour.
