Fri 3/18 at The Guru Room In Plymouth: SUICIDE DREAM, Obsidian Tongue, Sauriel, Clever Titles Have Parentheses[views:12753][posts:96][show listing] __________________________________ [Mar 6,2011 11:32am - ShadowSD ""] Friday, March 18 at The Guru Room in Plymouth, MA SUICIDE DREAM Obsidian Tongue Sauriel Clever Titles Have Parentheses 21+, 9 pm, $5 First Suicide Dream show of 2011, and our first time playing in Plymouth. Set times to be determined, but right now I'm guessing that we're on at about 10 pm or so, I'll update below when I know all the set times. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 6,2011 12:27pm - ShadowSD ""] Should be a pretty heavy show, Sauriel is the new project of Jon Helme from The Accursed. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 6,2011 12:47pm - bloblovesmusic ""] awesome lineup here! however I'll ask it, Clever Titles Have Parentheses? what a bizarre name |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 6,2011 1:16pm - the_reverend ""] I believe that they are saying that their name isn't clever. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 6,2011 1:16pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] I've yet to see a show at the goooooooroooooo, and it's 3 minutes from where I live. Usually with the lineups, my money is better spent the next morning across the street at Percy's, but maybe if I'm free I'll stop in for this one. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 6,2011 1:17pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] How much does it cost, by the way? I so wish that place still sold homebrew beer instead of being an indian restaurant or whatever now. Clothing store/Beer brewery/indian food/mosh palace. What a weird fucking history that place has. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 6,2011 2:38pm - ShadowSD ""] Not sure what the cover will be, working on finding this out right now, will update shortly. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 6,2011 3:05pm - the_reverend ""] Thought you lived in NH. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 6,2011 3:59pm - dreadkill ""] Clever titles have parentheses is the goofiest band name I've heard in a while. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 6,2011 7:45pm - ShadowSD ""] Maybe they have a song called (dickbro) |
| _________________________________ [Mar 7,2011 8:47am - ShadowSD ""] Although I wonder sometimes if bands with very long names just have a sadistic urge to force others to type. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 7,2011 2:38pm - ShadowSD ""] ArrowHeadNLI said:How much does it cost, by the way? Finally got in touch with someone down there who had an answer on this, they said it's $5. (Top post edited to reflect this) |
| _________________________________ [Mar 8,2011 2:43pm - ShadowSD ""] Suicide Dream Official Website Obsidian Tongue, Sauriel, and CTHP can be found on myspace. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 8,2011 2:59pm - burnsy ""] Damn, OR would've fit nicely on this bill. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 8,2011 11:08pm - ShadowSD ""] burnsy said:Damn, OR would've fit nicely on this bill. I think Hollywood East Promotions(?) is who's in charge of booking metal shows at this venue, although in our case we happened to jump on this just by talking to one of the other bands on the show. But yeah, we'd definitely be down for playing with you guys in the future. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 8,2011 11:44pm - burnsy ""] I think that's accurate regarding who books there. Sounds cool about playing in the future. See ya there. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 9,2011 9:34am - atthehauntedNLI ""] It's a nice place to play. It's in the back of an Indian restaurant, kinda weird but once you get back there it has a legit stage, bar and sound system. Plus the people who run it are cool. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 10,2011 8:06am - ShadowSD ""] Sounds good, looking forward to this. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 10,2011 6:26pm - ShadowSD ""] Funny thing is I've never tried Indian food, never had the opportunity really as there's nothing like that around where I live, but I've always wanted to. Here's hoping I won't get TOO adventurous on portions before we play and get stuck with an onstage assfire. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 4:37pm - ShadowSD ""] Anyone who's had Indian food before have suggestions as to what to try? |
| ________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 4:46pm - burnsy ""] Hit up Brendan from Obsidian Tongue. He'll tell ya what's up. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 12,2011 11:28am - ShadowSD ""] Cool, will do. Leave it to the band with Tongue in their name to give good advice on taste. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 15,2011 3:13pm - ShadowSD ""] Bump for this Friday. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 12:36pm - ShadowSD ""] A fifth band has been added, I'll update when I know more, but sets are now 30 mins long and the first band starts at 9 pm sharp. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 1:24pm - ShadowSD ""] Also, to correct the top post, we (Suicide Dream) are on from 9:45 - 10:15 pm, not sure of the rest of the order yet. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 1:31pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] I may go to this still. I have some other things to do that day. We'll see. Burnsy, are you going? |
| ________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 1:33pm - burnsy ""] I do believe I shall be attending this momentous occasion. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 1:51pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] Sweet. If I make it we should burn one. Burning with Burnsy. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 2:05pm - burnsy ""] Burns burns? Yes... He does. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 2:36pm - ShadowSD ""] ITT: Names are best taken literally. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 2:41pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] Who is the fifth band? this booking company sucks pee pee. 5 bands is too many, I don't want to spend as much time watching breakdown/setup/line checks as I do watching bands. Glad to see local promoters haven't gotten any better since I stopped playing out. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 3:09pm - ShadowSD ""] We usually don't work with local promoters nine times out of ten (instead booking venues ourselves directly whenever possible), but getting on this show has been different than our usual approach because instead of me talking to a real person to get the gig, just about the only communication has involved our singer getting messages from Sauriel's singer through Facebook, and thus the flow of information has been very one-way and slow to get to me. I hate not just having a name and number and being able to call and talk to a real person to get answers on something, but I guess Face-booking shows is the wave of the future (ugh). But yeah, I agree that the promotion company would probably have been wise to go with four bands instead, certainly in our case my drummer and I have a four hour plus round trip and our band only gets to play 30 minutes - but hey, roll with the punches, right? :duffbeer: |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 3:28pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] While I'm compassionate to your own side of things - 30 minute sets are GAY, I'm more concerned with the audience. Most bands SUCK DICK when it comes to breakdown and setup times. Which means for every 30 min of music we get, we get to watch 15-20 minutes of boob-tards dancing around with drumkits and microphones. The more times that happens, the more people that say "hey, you wanna stay here bored and wait for the next band we've never heard of to play, or you wanna go across the street to Sam Diegos and pick up drunken sluts?" Point being that by the time you get your 30 minutes of rock-star time, me and burnsy are off in the woods somewhere getting high and you're stuck playing to 5 other band members and two random fat chicks that turn out to be those 5 guys girlfriends. 5 band bills always annoy the shit out of me. It's really only worth it if the linup is literally 5 of my favorite bands. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 3:30pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] Only smoking drugs at Burial Hill cemetary is real. Getting high with the fore-fathers. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 3:41pm - ShadowSD ""] Well, I certainly hope it's not one of those play for the other band members type deals (and I'm optimistic it won't be anything close to that since I've been pushing this pretty hard) - but yeah, I see your point that there's always a risk in losing the audience during a break down, kind of sucks. To that end, I actually have someone riding up with us at this show to help me set up quickly since I have both the guitar and keyboard to get running, should really speed things up. In any case, I hope the existence of a fifth band doesn't sour you on coming out. Oh, and in regards what you guys mentioned earlier, I will be happy to throw some killer stuff in if I run into you guys before or after our set, just come say high. |

| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 3:53pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] And if you're on at 9:45 I'll likely show up a little before you play, check you out, and run away after. Unless you guys TRULY recommend any of these other bands. |

Hey, aint you a lefty? Yup, indeed I am sinister. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 4:24pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] I wanna play your guitar. Whatcha got? |

Unless you guys TRULY recommend any of these other bands. Glad you'll be able to make it. I can say nothing but good things about Jon's old band (The Accursed) but I have yet to hear his new band or the others playing, so I will have to rely on some of the forum members here who are from MA and have caught these bands live to give first-hand recommendations. Everything I have heard second-hand in regards to them has been positive. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 4:31pm - ShadowSD ""] ArrowHeadNLI said:I wanna play your guitar. Whatcha got? A black Aria Pro II with a Seymour Duncan Distortion humbucker. (I also have a Washburn with a Seymour Duncan Dimebag Darrell humbucker and a Fender Acoustic, but they won't be with me at the show) Always good talking to another lefty... and one who plays lefty, too. So many lefty guitarists learn right-handed. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 4:34pm - burnsy ""] I can vouch for obsidian tongue and sauriel. Sauriel is a blend of black metal with that amon amarth/viking metal feel. Obsidian tongue is one of my favorite NE bands. Really trippy black metal. The first time I got baked before seeing them, I decided I never wanted to see them not baked again haha. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 4:35pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] The worst is I met some right handed tard that bought a lefty guitar to play upside down so he could be like hendrix. It's like, there's only one friggin guitar in the store that's left handed, and some idiot righty buys it to mod it as right handed. |

Damn, that's as offensive as seeing a girl with natural double DDs and telling her to get a boob job. Like it's not hard enough for us to find lefty guitars in a store? I have to say, access to guitars is probably the hardest part of playing left-handed, but on the plus side there is at least the visual symmetry onstage when you have a lefty on one side and a righty on the other. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 6:55pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] As for access to guitars, I'm up to 16 now. thank goodness for Rondo and Ebay. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 6:56pm - ShadowSD ""] What do you have? |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 7:03pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] hmm, going left to right - Dean Hollywood Starfire warrior copy Lawson "Goth" (esp f-series copy) Starfire Rhodes V Ibanez Pro-Line (1985 style) Ravenwest RG5200nt Agile PS900 (PRS copy) Jackson Dk2 Douglas Fulcrum (king V copy) Agile Al-2000 w/ floyd (gibson axcess style) Gibson Les Paul Deluxe (1976) Douglas something - I forget the model. Think offset V with Paddle style headstock, like a BC Rich or something. Epiphone SG Douglas WRL 590nt (like an ibanez S series, but neck through with natural finish) Brice HXB 5 string bass Honor 4 string bass Fender San Miguel acoustic and my beater Celebrity acoustic. I think that's everything. Sometimes I leave a guitar in the other room/bathroom and forget I have it. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 16,2011 7:31pm - ShadowSD ""] Nice. It's rare for there to be collection of left-handed guitars, well... anywhere. In fact, even including Guitar Center down here I don't think I've seen more than five in one place at once. Apparently, it does not disrupt the space-time continuum after all. |
