File Under: Surprise.

The cat that is tonight’s DAAC show got let out of its bag on Facebook, which means if you’re reading this you’ve probably already heard.

That is, I assume we’re all sufficiently tapped into the social network network so, assuming I’m correct, you’ve already received the notification regarding us playing a GR show tonight and this is pretty unnecessary but I figure better safe than sorry so I’m covering this base and also I like writing things (particularly excessively long and grammatically shoddy sentences) and this kind of gave me an excuse to do so so deal with it.

But seriously, in not so excessive terms: our friends Xerxes from Louisville were supposed to play the DAAC tonight with our friends Native and Reptilian but had to drop, due to truly unfortunate circumstances, and we got asked to fill in for them. Having nothing to do but hang out, eat snacks, and watch hockey or whatever, we agreed.

SO! Come to the DAAC tonight. And tell all your friends. Do remember though that the DAAC is a small place and must respect capacity so please, please show up early if you’d like to get in. And don’t be mad if you show up late and get turned down, such is the nature of the beast, and I know we’ve covered this before. So…warned, I guess.

NATIVE, LA DISPUTE, THE REPTILIAN, THEY COME IN WAVES @ THE DAAC IN GRAND RAPIDS, MI

DOORS ARE AT 7:30. $6 I THINK BUT DON’T QUOTE ME. LIMITED CAPACITY.

CATCH YOU LATA.

Two Things:

First, we’re playing a cool MI show coming up. How cool, you ask? Try Will Smith smoking a cigar in the desert after out-air-dueling that alien invader in the single greatest documentary of all-time Independence Day cool, that’s how cool. Big ups to one of the coolest dudes in the Great Lakes State John Hein and all the rad Metal Frat dudes/Dire Wolf guys for letting us be a part of another great time at what has in some ways been our home away from home for the last 5 years. Go Blue. Dave Kloc forever. Flyer’d:

One of the cooler flyers our name has ever been on.

There are a few other cool Third Coast shows coming up in October. One in Kalamazoo, one in Traverse City, and one in the Furniture City (I’m just full of MI nicknames right now), come out and say hello. We’d love it. Flyers and final details to come.

In the meantime, one of our best friends wrote us up in a UK magazine called NME and they even put a picture by it. Cool to get press so far away, but even cooler to get it from a friend. We love you, Lee. Now, listen to the new Trash Talk LP “Eyes & Nines,” it’s unreal. Thanks to Ivano for sending us the picture, and Lee, of course, for the write-up. Here goes:

We look angry but we're really just uncomfortable.

Well, that’s about it. Tigers took 2 out of 3 from the White Sox in Chicago, that’s encouraging. Still, a long shot to think they’ll climb out of the hole they’ve dug. Mike Modano is a Red Wing. I’m into that. Hell, even the Lions looked decent in their first preseason game (granted, they went 4-0 prior to going 0-16 two years ago).  Listening to Titus Andronicus and then Ted Leo and then probably more Ted Leo, can’t complain about that.  

Oh, and Shark Week ruled.

That cool.
