They are playing in Tucson this Friday. My friend saw them in San Francisco and said they are even better live than on the new album. This is the closest they will be coming to Albuquerque.

They are an incredible live band. I've seen them twice before (also back in SF) and was blown away both times. I'd be driving to Tucson, too, if my mom weren't coming in to town this weekend. Have fun!!

I'm down Dave! the 14th, right? Are you serious? call me

Dude it's THIS Friday the 8th. I am serious, I just called gary to see if he can go too.

Fucking lame that they pussed-out on a Saturday night Launchpad show! (so did Dead Meadow for Feb 9th) Both bands had the night off between AZ/TX

dead meadow the prev. night 7 Feb in Tucson! oh shit, that's tomorrow!

I didn't even know about the Dead Meadow show. Damn......why no albuquerue?

Hey man, tell Gary to call in sick tomorrow and lets go see Dead Meadow too!!

Here's the venue for BM http://www.hotelcongress.com/

tickets are $8 and you can buy them online

i'm comin too. yay!

If you guys do go, you need to make sure to tell the band that you drove 6 hours to see them and that they shouldn't treat Albuquerque like that. The band, their publicists, their management, and their booking company have all received several emails from me, but if we actually send ambassadors (you don't have to be on good behavior to have the title) then they know we really mean business.

I'll definitely talk to them. I just wish we could get out of here to see Dead Meadow too. I can't believe both of those bands are skipping here.

That sucks. We showed dead meadow a good time last time they came through. And their show was great as I remember. I know that they're down to a 3 piece and cory isn't involved anymore. Thus no connection to new mexico. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Black mountain at club congress. Amazing.
Wish I could make it.

Zac, call in sick!

I can't! I just started a new job - no sick leave, no vacation time yet. I'd also have to convince the girlfriend. It's just not gonna happen.

2 or 3 years ago. I was still doing the Jealous Gods thing and we opened. I forget who else played? It was at the launchpad. They were touring on the Feathers record (my personal fave) so it was a great show.

Dead Meadow, Jennifer Gentle, Jealous Gods
4/20/05 @ Launchpad

The nu-psych of Washington DC’s Dead Meadow took a turn for the dirty riffage tonight, much to my surprise. There’s signposts to that on their records but I wasn’t expecting the heavy stoner flavor. The new LP Feathers has just enough brooding darkness but live there was more than I bargained for. Nonetheless it was a well-done set and much appreciated by the rockers in the audience including Alan Manhole and Black Bryan Maria who were seen head banging and tossing devil-signs in every direction while sticking out the Ozzy tongue.

Italy’s Jennifer Gentle on the other hand was mostly as expected; trippy wheeeee! carnival-calliope tunes. If they’d been around in the 1960s, they’d for sure had some longass name like Captain Wilfred’s Incredible Marching Bubblegum Serenader Funhouse Tremolo Machine Ltd. Mostly fun but a bit too playful for my tastes. I dunno, no one I ever knew back then got that nutty on drugs.

I think that sort of silliness was a media invention, like H.R. Pufnstuf : some sort of imagined innocent day-glo fun at a time when people were actually losing their sanity during bad trips from eating the brown acid.

Our own local psych-heroes Jealous Gods played not to a full house but a respectable crowd for an opening act and a larger one than their debut a few weeks ago. They were tighter than before, danceable and the sound system at the Launchpad rarely hurts anyone.
