[May 26,2004 12:04pm - the_reverend ""]
the weirdest part of this show is how it fails to show up on the events page.
[May 26,2004 12:07pm - Joe/NotCommon ""]
It's there now aaron
[May 26,2004 12:08pm - succubus ""]

[May 26,2004 12:17pm - succubus ""]
well i'll let it slide this time...since you said all your shows are usually on the events page

[May 26,2004 12:19pm - Joe/NotCommon ""]

[May 26,2004 3:00pm - succubus ""]

[May 26,2004 3:01pm - Joe/NotCommon ""]
Oh, sorry then. I thought you didnt know anything about willowtip.
[May 27,2004 1:45pm - attendmyrequiem ""]
can someone give me directions from the red line on how to get to this place?
[May 27,2004 4:03pm - assuck ""]
do you know how to get to the middle east?
[May 27,2004 6:47pm - Joe/NotCommon ""]
Take the red line to central square, when you emerge from the underground lair (station) walk away from the huge intersection in front of you. You will need to cross the street, the all asia is about 1 block from the middle east (which you cannot miss)

[May 27,2004 8:56pm - Joe/NotCommon ""]
I am going to build a statue of myself from all the money I make at this show.
[May 27,2004 8:59pm - Joe/NotCommon ""]
Remember everyone, the order for this show will be decided during load in, so if you really want to see a band there is a 25% chance they could be opening.

[May 28,2004 12:31am - The_ExhumeD ""]
who wants to chill out and get hammered after the show at my jam space... its like 20 minutes away
[May 31,2004 1:04am - the_reverend ""]
I just got this e-mail from ion dissonance:
unfortunetly not, we did not cross the borders, check our website for more
details on that one, but we wont be able to make it...
[May 31,2004 9:35am - Joe/NotCommon ""]
does that mean misery index is taking their place?
[May 31,2004 9:39am - the_reverend ""]
who's the one putting on this show?
not me... so I don't know
[May 31,2004 9:44am - Joe/NotCommon ""]
I am putting it on and I heard a rumor about this last night but nobody sent me anything about it.
[May 31,2004 10:39am - Joe/NotCommon ""]
I hope Rudra doesn't have any trouble getting into the US, if they aren't letting Canadians in then what chance does a band from Singapore have?
Rudra won't have any merch either, but told the US customs people in their country they are going to play a couple of non-paying gigs. Maybe I should have Stone Cutter set up a fake receipt saying they are also recording. Does anyone know about this sort of thing?
[May 31,2004 10:57am - intricateprocess ""]
wait, so ion dissonance? yay or nay?
[May 31,2004 11:06am - Joe/NotCommon ""]
nay
[May 31,2004 11:12am - attendmyrequiem ""]
$8 for what is now three bands? BOOO!
[May 31,2004 11:16am - Joe/NotCommon ""]
There still might be 4 bands. It will stay at 8 bucks unless I am told to drop it, I want to make sure Leng Tche gets some decent cash since they came from Belgium. Misery Index might be headlining now.
[May 31,2004 11:29am - attendmyrequiem ""]
YES!!!! Misery Index.
[May 31,2004 12:53pm - pessimist ""]
attendmyrequiem said:$8 for what is now three bands? BOOO!
oh no, $8...how will i ever afford that?
you're not serious, are you?
[May 31,2004 2:13pm - attendmyrequiem ""]
pessimist said:attendmyrequiem said:$8 for what is now three bands? BOOO!
oh no, $8...how will i ever afford that?
you're not serious, are you?
considering im in school and have $500 (that includes buying my books) for the whole semester, yes i am.
oh and don't give me the whole get a job thing either cuz i have a shitload of other stuff going on as well. A job just isn't able to fit into my schedule.
but, i'm glad other people are down with making smartass comments like me.
and when the promoter posts comments such as
"Come and help make me rich!!!!"
Even though I'm pretty sure Joe's not being serious it makes me think where the extra money that would have been going to one of the bands is going to go. I'm not saying the promoter doesn't deserve money for helping out boston with some good shows, but i think this will have a pretty big turn out and it's cool that Joe is helping Leng T'che out instead of pocketing the difference.
[May 31,2004 2:33pm - the_reverend ""]
I remember one of the cb shows were joe made a lot of $$ from and he used it to pay for 1/2 an ad in some magazine and then paid for denny's or something like that.
all the $$ I make on this site I would put on my and roll around in naked, but all the minus signs would hurt like a bitch and get up in my ass.
[Jun 1,2004 9:36am - pessimist ""]
finally! watchmaker at the all asia...everyone should go because that place will be destroyed tonight
[Jun 1,2004 10:42am - the_reverend ""]
the best part of the all asia is the backdrop to the stage.
well, that and the fact that there is light coming in from the huge windows.
[Jun 1,2004 3:51pm - blue ""]
i really hope youre serious that misery index might be playing this. that would very well make up for ion dissonance. but does that mean neuraxis might have trouble as well? theyre also from canada.

the canadian border is tough. fortunately, when we went there, we knew some people there who could back up our bogus story. we went in two vans. the first van went through with 5 guys and the equipment (there were 4 bands, we shared gear) and they said that they were playing a friends wedding party. they gave the girls name and number and when customs called her, she confirmed the story. the rest of us went over the next day and said we were just going up to st. catherine street to party. it was insanely cold out, and i think that's the only reason they didn't search our van. i assume stone cutter is a studio? just give the guy a heads up that he may get a call from US customs and to say that rudra has a recording date, and everything should work out fine. as long as they can't PROVE you're lying i think they have to let you through.
i hope that any of that may help you. i don't know what overseas bands generally do to come here, but i think as long as they don't have a criminal record or haven't causeed any previous disturbance in the US they should be fine. The good pepole at Armageddon bring european bands over here pretty fequently, maybe you could call them.

Death by Metal.
[Jun 2,2004 5:20am - MarkKevorkian ""]
That fucking show killed. Any of you fucks that missed it, suck. Leng Tche was one of the best bands I have ever seen. Man did they fucking destroy. Good dudes even though I couldn't understand half of what they said.
[Jun 2,2004 8:37am - Joe/NotCommon ""]
I take back any references I made to shadows fall regarding neuraxis, what a great fucking band!
Leng Tche should move to Boston, we need more bands like that around here.
You know it's a great show when watchmaker doesn't totally upstage the other acts, and they didn't this time.
10 out of 10
[Jun 2,2004 11:24am - the_reverend ""]
watchmaker: holy crap! my first time seeing them in a year and a 1/2 where you couldn't hear anything. this night, they truly were amazing. the pictures I took do in no way, shape or form show the raw brutal onslaught that was their performance. the funny thing is that they were crazy yet hardly moved at all. Granted, I thought I was going to get clipped by that saw blade a bunch of times. their music is a weird mixture of chaotic noise, sonic space-rock bridges, and sheer screaming terror. It funny how the newest member, mark kevorkian, seems to do an aweful lot.. I wonder what they did without him.
leng tche: starting before I knew what was going on. this band scored another 10. I went over there and the singer was running into the crowd with a ninja costume on. their music was awesome too. it made it more awesome when the singer got up on the band and sang from up there. The singer kept running through the crowd and almost mashing dance, but never actually did. If the crazy asian lady wasn't sitting in the kitchen, I'm sure she would have gone crazy about the movement.
neuraxis: yeah, they sonded just like the mp3s I've heard of them. they reminded me of a more melodic version of napalm death. in the end of their set, all the members of leng'tche came out and they mashed it up. everyone pushed and rolling around every one. I just ot on a chair and snapped away.
[Jun 2,2004 1:08pm - Joe/NotCommon ""]
Patti wasnt sitting in the kitchen, she was sitting by the front door watching and laughing.

[Jun 2,2004 4:50pm - pessimist ""]
this show was fucking awesome. watchmaker fucking destroyed as usual...
i can't believe i'd never heard leng t'che before. i bought the cd and just as i suspected, more fucking brutality. Thanks joe and brian for booking this show.
[Jun 4,2004 4:08am - AUTOPSY_666 ""]
I like the 1st LENG TCH'E CD better than the 2nd, but they are both great.
And they rule live, I was lucky enough to see them twice!
[Jun 4,2004 9:09am - the_reverend ""]
damn... yes.. I do need sleep.
I get to get sleep on um.. next weekend.
