FRIDAY

Weedeater | Mitra | WoFat(Pastime Tavern)
Original headliners 400 Blows cancelled due to illness, but Parade of Flesh has recruited WoFat to round out a bill that now features Southern Lord's stoner rock influenced Weedeater, who will take the stage at 1130. Once you listen to these bands and picture them playing at Pastime, you'll see why it is the perfect venue for a show like this. I'm really glad POF is putting shows on at that place. Dallas' Mitra isn't exactly my bag, but they seem to hold their own within the circles they travel. This is one of those shows I kind of want to see even though I'm not sure how much I'll like it. Sometimes those are the best kind.

Keith P | Schwa | Select- Chromeo Record Release Party(Fallout Lounge)
Why have there been two of these Chromeo release parties in the past couple of weeks? Don't ask me. But this set of DJ slots will function as the latest edition of Hotflash, and it should be a good one. Keith P is one of the most tasteful and capable DJs in town these days, and it should be a treat to hear him spin everything from Burial to Simian Mobile Disco to Spank Rock to Sneaker Pimps.

MarnieStern | Fishboy | Eat Avery's Bones (Rubber Gloves)
Hey. I'm just writing to the guy that hates me for making fun of Marnie Stern: I don't mean to make you mad, bro, but this time I acually went and downloaded her album. And you know what? I hate her even more now. Sorry. The full band will probably make this better than the performance I saw at Pitchfork, as will the fact that EAB is playing... but it won't be enough to make me consider watching her again. Check the Myspace if you don't believe me.

SATURDAY

Faux Fox | Ghosthustler | The Party(Granada)
I'm curious to see what kind of crowd this show attracts. For one thing, it's free for 21 and up and only $5 for 18 and up. Second, it has received at least a little coverage in both the Observer and the Dallas Morning News, so I'm guessing some curious parties might come to check out some of the more trendy names in Dallas music. And I don't mean "trendy" as an insult, but rather as a "so hot right now" kind of thing. And the people who constantly accuse Ghosthustler of sounding too much like Faux Fox can go to this show and find out that they're wrong. I'm willing to bet that this show will be a lot of fun, and might be the first of many large crowds Ghosthustler plays to this year.

Mincemeat or Tenspeed | Cars Will Burn | Dave Smolen | Brokenizer | Dromez(House of Tinnitus)
A solid harsh noise show to add to the already impressive performance roster that HOT has accrued. I actually received an email not too long ago from a well known New York based magazine asking some questions about the place, which is pretty funny considering that some people still like to dismiss Denton DIY as "some dude's house." I've said several times on here that I'm not the Prince of Noise like some people like to think, but I honestly feel that every one of these groups is pretty interesting, and EVERYTHING I've seen at House of Tinnitus has ended up being better live than recorded.

Mom(And/Or Gallery)
Mom will be performing for free at 8pm as part of And/Or Gallery's opening of it's latest exhibit, which features the work of Lily Hanson and Jason Singleton. Click on the And/Or link for more info on the art. And/Or shows are always an entertaining and stimulating way to start out the evening.

Attractive and Popular | Stag Film(Pastime Tavern)
Another good Pastime show from Parade of Flesh. Attractive and Popular is an awesome live act, and I'm actually surprised that more people don't rave about them in the comment sections of this blog.



The Riverboat Gamblers | The Arrivals | Last of the Interceptors (Rubber Gloves)



Post Nasal Backspin | Kaboom | IKillCars (SHQ Denton)

Gutterth Festival (J&Js Pizza)
Huge free festival that gets going around 2pm and keeps going until just about closing time. To be quite honest, I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the acts playing this thing, but I can telly you that Mom, Chris Garver, New Science Projects and Sean Kirkpatrick are worth seeing for sure, especially when it's free. Click this to see the full set times, etc.

The Smoke (Art Club): Fans of the Smoke will be happy to learn that the Smoke DJs will be handing out their mix CD on Saturday night. They'll also be happy when they see what a vast improvement Art Club is over the old Avenue Arts. Now book more shows dudes!

SUNDAY



Check back wit us... doesn't look like anything is happening, but if it turns out we're wrong, we'll post something this weekend.

Also, Heather's tagline on MySpace is a quote.

Like I said... whoever you people are, have no desire at all, to recognize what I'm trying to say. You just want to continue a senseless battle, and keep repeating yourselves.

"Citizens" is personal vernacular, and not intended in a dehumanizing manner.

"Some people wear their heart on their sleeve. I wear mine underneath my right pant leg, strapped to my boot."

Damn, that's.....really fucked up, Heather. Do you really mean that shit? Is this love?

Look at how defensive they are! They each wrote a fucking book. And, dude, they have 2 kids. God help us all.

Citizens? Really Lars? What happened to "people" or "human beings"?

The problem with you and Heather is that you guys got no heart. Shit, look at Heathers myspace headline and you'll see what I mean.

-Citizen Pricetag

bug.

I did admit that it was a plug. I mean, that should be obvious. However, I was attempting to explain that my motivations were nothing close to an attempt at self-glorification, and that the website was planned and created by several 8CAC citizens, and is not about me at all.

I'm looking for conversation, comraderie, and friendship when I post here, and it's hard to converse with someone without an identified name. I don't mean to make blanket statements about everyone who chooses to post anonymously here... I know there are some of you with good intentions. It seems like whenever I post and share my thoughts, though, I just get further rebuttals and no acknowledgment of what I'm trying to say. For Christ's sake, I'm trying to understand and become friends with you people, not perpetuate senseless arguments. Why can't we just encourage each other? Everyone seems to feel so threatened. Me included, I guess.

Anons seem more intelligent than people who go by their real names on here. I swear to God it's a scientific fact.

And what's really funny is I have NO IDEA who Lars or his wife are, so they're just as anonymous to me.

And that shit you said at 11:02 PM was infact a shameless plug, Lars. You just don't have the guts to admit it.

post anonymously and people wont harrass you! they will talk shit about anons, but you wont be a public figure.

Man we had fun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRLuaHGVRrY

Please don't assume that because Heather and I are married, that we share the same voice or views on everything. I don't always agree with what she says or the way she says it, and she knows that.

I am most decidedly not interested in "harassing" anyone, but I sure as hell am going to have my two cents when myself or my friends are being harassed.

I have said many times before, that I do not believe in censorship and I have no problems whatsoever with anonymous posting. I believe that 90% of the pointless antagonism on this blog is the result of a lack of accountability in terms of the requirement of screen names. Talking shit anonymously to a big audience, when you can type your name in as anything you like, is an empowering and potentially destructive thing. If someone's got a name, even a fake anonymous one, you can at least have an argument/conversation with them about something.

I completely respect SR and DL's views on the issue, but at the same time I'd like to have a forum in which to have constructive conversations instead of one liner bitch fights all day long. I'm not saying I am innocent of participating in bitch fights -- but I only speak up in a negative manner when myself or people I care about, are being attacked in an unfair, uncouth manner.

I hope you understand me, I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings or argue for the "joy" of arguing -- I hate it. Perhaps you're right, perhaps I just shouldn't even respond. Part of what frustrates me so much, is that it's very rare that I've met anyone in person in this music scene who was rude to my face, or antagonistic in any way. I like and love everyone I've met. So I don't know what's going on, with all of this, but it's depressing.

I'm sure I come off a little pissed off when I post, because it's usually in defense of something, but I'm not an angry or judgmental person, and hope I never become one.

why do you and your wife continue to care about anons posting? So your wife can go beat someone up or harass them endlessly? Real polite and constructive. For someone who describes themselves as outside the mainstream or underground or whatever, surely you know that big brother Bush and censorship is a bad thing, right? Since i know you guys care I am a nobody music fan.

"And if you don't like electronic music, then get the fuck out of cyberspace and find some bongos."

"This is a music blog you cunt."

you two bug.

6:39 - I'd be mad, but you called me dorkass. And that's a really funny word.

A lot of other hardworking citizens helped make that site besides me, and we have very focused intentions. We'd rather see constructive conversation and polite criticism take place, artists actually helping each other out, than the hatred and jealousy saturated bullshit that abounds in the anonymous comment threads here. I wasn't trying to plug "my awesome website", I was being completely honest. If there were another such moderated discussion forum, I'd be glad to use it as well.

smug, that's a funny thing for you to be calling anyone.

I see. Both were good times.

Thanks for the love man!

As for the 2 parties. One was a listening party(which is held for people that want to listen to the album in full) and the other the actual release party.

Nice shameless self-promo there you fuckin' dorkass. "And i'll see YOU at the 8CAC website, which IIIII designed!"

I'm sorry dude, but that was really lame.

Then get lost you smug fuck.

1:37 -- Yeah, I agree. I shouldn't even be here. I'll be over on the 8CAC forums, where kids won't have masks to talk shit behind.

Because shit talking and whining makes for better entertainment. Duh. What, are you retarded?

Does anyone ever actually talk about music around here. It seems more like pissing match for who can be the bigger jerk. Why don't you all shut and just listen to some music instead of acting like 1st graders.

What the fuck?

Name one time I've seriously attempted to 'raise the dead' and I'll kiss your ass.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Jason... good Summer ahead.

to your face?
oh yeah, because you aren't anonymous.

Lars just lied to my face and he knows it. And you're just defending a liar, so FUCK HIM AND FUCK YOU.

I'm hungry. :p

oh yeah, and after you spend weeks planning and designing a fully functional website along with putting together and AWESOME release calendar for YOUR record label and play regularly in a hard working band all while working your hardest to build community, then ONLY THEN, can you talk shit about lars and not be COMPLETELY BENEATH HIM.

I must say that I am surprised that tired quips on religion constituted the first in what promises to be a long series of shitstorms.

you guys can really do better.

now please, call me gay.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I've never attempted to raise the dead.

You're so full of shit, Lars. Why don't you go have another fake seance. Go pointlessly raise the dead to please your childish, morbid fascinations.

you bet, ifn it's an electronic triange. ill be playing the electronic bongos from your earlier link. btw, Im a serious adult.

http://www.miniorgan.com/lib/view.php?miniorgan=106

can i be in morbid angle? i'll play the triangle.

im not kyle, but morbid angle is gonna rock balls. It will most probably be confused with faux fox im sure.

Historically, the reversed cross is a symbol of humility -- Peter was crucified upside down because he felt unworthy to die in the same manner as Jesus. Naivete on this point is shared equally among Christians and wannabe Satanists.

The pentacle/pentagram is NOT Satanic, far from it. Anton LaVey established the inverted pentacle as the basis for his black mass rituals in the latter half of the 20th century, using it and the head of the goat/Baphomet as a symbol for freedom of the self. Pentacles have been a huge part of religious symbology across many cultures globally; Mayans, Babylonians, Greeks, Egyptians and Chinese. Christian kabbalists were obsessed with it. There's a pentacle on the dollar bill. The White House is in the center of a giant pentacle. The pentacle was worn by early Christians to symbolize the five wounds of Christ.

The pentacle is symbolic geometry inferring a concentration/cone of power... it's NOT "Satanic".

The pentacle in Chief Death Rage's CD artwork (which I designed -- Jonah did the cover) is not in an inverse configuration.

All of the 8CAC iconography is constructed with specific purpose and sacrilege does not enter into it.

Next time, check your facts. Running your mouth about shit you obviously know nothing about is juvenile. As is this overly bitchy, pointlessly didactic response. All the same, fuck off please.

um, hi kyle!

Morbid Angle? I'm stealing that band name fyi. HANDS OFF!

also why must you use the word retarded as a negative, oh holy one.. doesnt god love the retards too?

do you want a little of the lord inside you? i will give you my upside down cross "T" extra hard..

Do you even know what a metaphor is, Floppers?

That's funny, Flappers. You just bitched me out and then you complemented me on my "whip crackage". You don't really care who the hatred is aimed at as long as it's still hatred, huh?

And by the way, By sacrilige I was talking about Christian Teenage Runaway's retarded upside down cross "T" and Chief Death Rage's super pretentious pentagram. Seems like all of the bands on your roster are all about satanism. Or are they just using the images to "look cool"?

ungargleable nancyboy

really i'm tired of you denton / dallas i'm too cool for anything kids. all this talk about to groups they most be doing something right. go back to stocking shelves at 3am at tom thumb. seriously. the show was great enjoy it. indie/hipster kids oh no...maybe the end of the world. go listen to ..ummmmm...morbid angle or something and wear all black. The party played a varity of tunes...ghosthuslter.. faux fox. .and lots of kids dancing...at least they weren't at purgatory or some smu house party..go out have fun but talk shit to peoples faces. not on a message board...

Did we used to date?

Your name is choked liar. Your screen name is a bit more than a metaphor, isn't it? In reality you're probably a liar who chokes on every word that comes out of your mouth.

Well, I happen to think that you type as well as you speak, if not better. It was solely the spelling that i was mocking. And your concept of True Satanists. But the topic of being paddled....

And leave Kyle alone.

I'm sorry? Kyle? That's a bit presumptuous, isn't it?

Ooooh! I spelled sacrilege wrong! Someone get my 1st grade teacher over here to paddle me. You knew I was trying to use the word sacrilege, yes? Then what's the problem? Sorry I haven't learned to type as well as I speak yet.(Thank God)

hi kyle

wtf is a "sacrelidge"? With any luck, a "True Satanist" would be able to spell sacrilege.

What a sad life you live, stonedranger. You are behind a computer arguing your life away 24/7. All that hate is going to burn you up. Don't you know that? I recommend stopping now while you still have half of your life left. What a shame it would be to waste it all on being a cynical, hypercritical, pseudointellectual creep for a living.

What's that? You don't even get paid for this? Oh man.

we are not acquainted with this gay gayerson of whom you speak.

gay gayerson speaketh.

we have dizcofered on the info-webs a proofs of your point, anonymous otherlander.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tNKACwJe7c

we are not acquainted with this satanist or jesus of whom you speak. perhaps you are mistaking these for other mans. we speak only to avatars arch eye and fist.

sheesh.

8CAC.net seems to be all about sacrelidge. What's with all of the pentagrams and upsidedown crosses? "Hey everybody! Let's all hate Jesus cuz it's the cool thing to do! Yaaaay! Pass me the goblet of blood! Let's have another fake seance! Fuck yeah!"

Even a true Satanist would look at all of you as disrespectful children.

That was really nice. So much love on here!

You all make me so proud to be a part of this generation.(tear) :_)

Well at least I know who NOT to hang out with on here. Whew.

The excessive use of quotes is uwarranted and unfounded. Please stop.

you 8cac.net now

Who gives a fuck? It's called "a show"! It doesn't take a psychologist to figure out that they enjoy entertaining people. Laughter, tears, lust, betrayal, conquest, failure. Solid fucking gold lyrics. Intricate, thoughtful melodies and a rhythm section that makes people move. Pretty decent package if you ask me.

if faux fox is dead serious about what they do....then thats just sad.

9:08 - Seriously, 'The Gap Band' and 'Flock of Seagulls' are the best you can come up with, to compare either of these bands to?

This conversation is like Bon Jovi trying to convince Prince that he sounds like Stacey Q who in turn sounds like Kraftwerk and Donna Summer. The similarities end 1 second after you jump in the pudding where the proof is nowhere to be found. This is what it sounds like when seagulls cry.

Damn it, it's 1999, get a grip! Bongo time!

Now i'm not saying that Faux Fox is unoriginal though. They did it first, and SUV and Kate is a Fascist are killer songs....early 80's sounding? Definitely. Danceable as fuck? Hell yes!

I'm just saying that Ghosthustler is stealing their fire. The proof is mainly in the vocals/synth sound/clothes/well....I guess pretty much every facet of the music.

Please tell me what Faux Fox and Ghosthustler DON'T have in common.

Both of those bands sound like The Gap Band jamming with Flock of Seagulls. And I could definitely do without both. Their lead singers are practically identical(Brian Campbell from Faux Fox should seriously think about suing the singer from Ghosthustler). They both heavily use that bendy synth shit(The Gap Band claim to fame, see: "You Dropped a Bomb on Me".

Yeah, people will of course keep using the same instruments that were used in the last 200 years, but they don't have to write the same music as what was strictly being made in 1980-81. It's getting old.

What's the deal with performers and their dire need for fame?

Numan/Tubeway, yes, but I always hear more Ultravox for some reason.

6:09 - Despite Bon Jovi's stellar Billboard ranking, I'm pretty sure he's not having much luck affecting mankind's evolution. (There's another good visual for you, 5:40.)

Also, Spark Notes.

http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/timemachine/section3.rhtml

Also, white pants.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ase9skyUpcQ

Also, white pants.

http://www.spuggy.co.uk/images/white.jpg

6:09. old people nostalgic for the 80's are the only ones who can't figure out how to work a bitTorrent client. that's why Bon Jovi is number 1.

If you can't tell that Faux Fox is deadly serious and coming for your children you better recognize before they slit your throat in your sleep.

The guy from Ghosthustler was so HOOOT!!!! I forgot to pay attention to the music which was much better before I knew he was HOOOOOT!!!! (did their guitarist used to play with Huey Lewis???)

Though I never thought you'd get popped,Prince William, you gotta learn nobody is hate-free on weshotjr. Except for Wanz and Farah, right?

FF and GH are two unique and creative performance driven art-dance bands that are not for everyone.

If they had beards and guitars instead of white pants(we're pretty obsessed with those dude's pants,aren't we, baby?) and keyboards, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Wait, we would. There's still the fact that they're young, cute, and getting attention that chaps so many hides. Denton, get over yourself already.

Lars-
The human race is evolving? Then how do you explain the fact that Bon Jovi has the #1 album on the Billboard charts this week?

i think gary numan needs to be included in that list, even though FF's press material says they hate being compared to him.

"serious adult"

you're quite welcome.

http://www.miniorgan.com/lib/view.php?miniorgan=106

I just pictured someone pawning their laptop for a set of bongos. thanks lars, funny.

Faux Fox is very coldwave/Ultravox/1980 sounding to me. Ghosthustler is like Yello meets new European house stuff with postpunk revival sounding vocals.

Two totally different sounds.

If you can't hear the difference, it's because you don't listen to electronic music. And if you don't like electronic music, then get the fuck out of cyberspace and find some bongos. The human race is evolving, and electronic music is a reflection of that.

jus playin

Somebody on we shot J.R. hates me!!!!!!

sorry, i think i hate you.

HA!

Didn't you hear? I AM the Ghosthustler PR team.

maybe the ghosthustler PR group wants you guys to argue about this. Seems like a pretty strange thing to get all worked up about. Vague similarities? c'mon. Someone is pulling yalls chain here.

I'm curious.... what exactly is the musical correlation between Ghosthustler and Faux Fox? I know they're both influenced by 70's and 80's electro in general, but other than that, I really can't figure it out.

oh yeah... because STYLE > SUBSTANCE.
no wonder.. I get it, you haven't even listened to them.

Oh, one last thing! Was that choad lead singer from Ghosthustler wearing those Brian Campbell tight white pants again at the show? Oh my God I bet he was. Was he wearing more eyeliner than Zsa Zsa Gabor too? Why does he do that? It looks really stupid.

If you see no correlation between Faux Fox and Ghosthustler then you are either blind or wearing vintage glasses just to look cool, which in turn is making you blind.

Will is a spoiled, stuck up jerk.

we shot jr likes to rave till dawn.

oooh, jc. EXACTLY.

i think i thought marnie stern was pretty okay. at least waay the fuck better than 5pc hella.

i was surprised that zh was in the band. then i was surprised that they were playing the same million notes tappy drums/guitar shit that hella used to do all the time.

then i was surprised when someone woke me up and i realized that i totally fell asleep halfway thru the set. huh.

GODBLESS

A$P ruled. and they are playing ind enton and fw in the next week or so.

I saw Stag Film on Saturday night at Pastime and it was one of the greatest live shows I have seen this year. They are a force to be reckoned with. Mark my words...In 6 months, Stag Film will be the best band in the metroplex. Well, second best after The Dutch Treats....BOO YA!

aaahhh! ghosthustler was really good last night. there's a rare occasion when you hear something, and you know right away that they have good things coming to them. this is a case.

and ps, who got totally smoked out by that freaking smoke machine last night? fa-reaky.

i hear no correlation between faux fox and ghosthustler.

Yay bongos!

Play us some music that is devoid of any influence of yesterdays and it's problably from outerspace.

Some of us actually remember the 80s. Do you expect people to go out and throw their keyboards and drum machines in the garbage because those days are over? You can't stop evolution and you can't stop technology so just move to a cave and beat on your bongos "soul man".

PS: bongos rule!

I believe it is quite obvious that Ghosthustler completely rips off Faux Fox. Why the hell should I go to this show is what i'm asking. You people are really into some gay ass music. Just soulless played out 80's fashion music for stuck up children.

You actually still like Flock of Seagulls. And Berlin. You probably even like Yello. Jesus.

Who gives a fuck about what kind of a crowd is at a show? I just want to hear good music.

yes, 11:01 wins.

yeah they shouldn't

"faux fox should stop ripping off bands that don't exist yet. they should also be either serious or ironic and either stop changing or stop doing the same thing every time so that they can achieve staying power by quitting after all the years."

Best comment ever.

two things. first, i released violent squid + forbes/young/gonzalez trio SPLIT LP today. $2 @ Recycled (2 copies) and $2 @ Strawberry Fields (2 copies) and 2 copies @ SHQ for FREE. the recording of forbes/young/gonzalez trio is a recording of their first time to play together. it sounds really awesome. i will have more copies available at our show RGRS July 8th w/ a band from ashville. they sound pretty good. cool. next thing, i'm going to play tomorrow with brokenizer @ HOT. i'm really excited to play with Mark Parker again. it's going to be sweet. Mark Parker is an amazing psych player, if you know him than you already know that he has been behind the scenes of a lot of great bands in their early stages. and has also been a part of a lot of great bands that have all been very short lived but badass none the less. this is a rare chance to see him out. i'm very excited to play with him again. a few things he's played in the past have been dokademo doa, maybe pointy shoe? not sure on that one. GUN TO SATAN'S HEAD TURN YOUR BODY!, White Deer. i don't know. he's awesome. great show tomorrow night lined up. word.

faux fox should stop ripping off bands that don't exist yet. they should also be either serious or ironic and either stop changing or stop doing the same thing every time so that they can achieve staying power by quitting after all the years.

I have never seen GH in the flesh (they have only played like 3 times out and about) but at least thier recorded songs are good as well as thier music video. GH has plenty of time to improve thier live performance.

How long has faux fox been around?
Oh yeah and I wish they would stop tring to have sex with me!!!

yours truly,
Prince William

HOUSE OF TINNITUS looks like its going to be crazy... check out cars will burn and that fucking machine!

6:36, if you think that Faux Fox's singer, aka George Quartz, "has no humor in him," then you're either stupid or not paying attention.

Well I'm assuming this show will be substantially different considering they just announced themselves as a 4 piece playing a 6 song set.

... Actually I just wanna see if they end up wearing the same pants.

has anyone else had problems connecting to oink?

completely agree, great recordings but still mediocre live show. It will come with time and I'll be ready when it does

Not sure how you can say anyone who has only played a handful of shows has staying power. I liked Ghosthustler the first time I saw them, the second time was a boring carbon copy of the first. I might check them out again once they have more songs written.

Faux Fox is a freakin' great band with tons of energy and creativity. They never fail to put on an entertaining show with loads of energy. It's music and entertainment rolled into one chocolatey tootsie roll. Get yr self some...

As i understand it faux fox started off as a silly fun thing and it was.. then somehow turned into a serious disaster that does not know when to stop! Really they need to move on..

5:05 .. I would not compare faux fox to GH because GH seems to have thier shit together and way more staying power

yours truly,
Prince Harry

i'm curious what it is about faux fox that is jokey or revivalist. what type of sound are they making fun of/bringing back? i've heard their recordings, but haven't seen them live. it sounds like lots of different electro stuff from the 70's and 80's but i didn't think it was a parody of anything. how are they live? do they wear makeup and wigs or something?

Rubber Gloves show is genius.

Gashcat has a show with Real Live Tigers on Sunday at Good Records in Dallas, and Matthew & The Arrogant Sea is playing Banter in Denton on Saturday.

yeah, I'd like to see you ask that faux fox singer if he thinks it's a joke. that guy has no humor in him at all.

Faux Fox sucks ass. That's the difference.

art is a real threat...that's why it's confined to the basement of a pizza joint. more like "art is a real treat" when you get to witness it while eating pizza.

Joel Siegel died today.

the one at jandjs is actually just my mom. not the band "mom"

thanks for the write up on our fri/sat. show.

regards
john.

mom are playing and/or AND J&J's on Saturday? just want to clarify before I drive out to see them at the wrong place...

wait! no love for the 90's? how hilarious is this? SUPERSUCKERS at CURTAIN CLUB? did they not get the memo? it's 2007. NOT 1997.

the difference between faux fox and btd is that faux fox knows theyre an ironic joke....btd takes themselves seriously.

there's no point to miss, 4:55.

the only thing faux fox ever did right was try to be like ghosthustler before ghosthustler ever existed. they were fun to watch the first time, but it's the same show over and over and over....for the last couple of years. still, I'm going to go see gh and the crowd. this should be really interesting!

Ghosthustler.. hahahahah.. oh man...

Is Faux Fox kinda like Black Tie Dynasty? you know.. one of those revivalist, "joke" bands? Or, am I just missing the point here..
