I've gotten a few emails asking about this and I figured it was only a matter of time before someone else posted about it so I'll let the cat outta the bag. The Gories and the Oblivians are currently working on booking some shows for next summer. One in Memphis, one in Detroit and two weeks in Europe. I'll post more when the dates become solid.

Making everyones schedule work (the dirtbombs have a pretty rigid touring schedule next year) did not allow for a full US tour and we thought it most important to do home town shows. sorry west coast.

Greg,
That is excellent news indeed. I just replied to your last message on my "SEEKING COMPULSIVE GAMBLERS / REIGNING SOUND Footage" post. Please send me another email at:
brokenstringrob@yahoo.com
I have been working on a documentary film about modern Memphis music and too many roads lead to you on this subject. I would like to arrange to film an interview with you by all means necessary (as I have filmed interviews with Eric and Jack).
Thanks,
Robert

Forget Carpet House or even Red Carpet Lounge.
Resurrect the mounds!
The mounds were crafted by Native Americans during the late Woodland period, circa A.D. 500-1300. Several dozen ancient mounds are believed to have been used as burial grounds and for decorative and ceremonial purposes in this area. The Native Americans who settled here later believed the mounds to be sacred, without knowing who built them, but most of the mounds were leveled when European settlers transformed Detroit as an agricultural town.
"There were mounds right where the Rouge River meets the Detroit River, on the Detroit side," Hocking says.
"The two largest mounds were right near the Detroit River, south of Jefferson and east of Rouge, and the one that was closest to the river was conical in shape, and estimated to be about 50 feet tall and 300 feet in diameter, but it was eroded by cattle. Now there's a giant brownfield there. Southwest Delray was heavy with native sites too, but the only evidence is on Fort Wayne. They do have a small mound they've preserved, but it's very small and fenced off and so overgrown you can't really see it anymore."

As the Chrome Cranks reunion, it's more than exciting...

It's still being booked but the gigs will start around the end of May. We're not going to England. Work permits and what not are a little stiff and the drive a little long for one, maybe two shows. Sorry, I'm sure he's a great guy and it's a great club.

Gretchen? Izzat you? We visited with y'all in Athens bout seven years ago, myself and a coupla pals, all friends of Nick Brown from Intoxica in London. Myself and Nadia were in town last year, too, and heard y'all had moved to Atlanta which, after chatting to a dude running a bar, turned out not to be true! He said that Kurt was workingat a pizza place just down the street from the bar, unfortunately, he told us that at like 11.30 at nite and we wuz leaving the next morning!

I saw the Jesus Lizard about 8 or 9 times - living in Chicago during their hey-day helped alot - and I must agree with Kevin... a show at Lounge Ax I saw (right around when 'Liar' was released) was one of the best shows I've ever seen…

How could a band possibly think "Puddle of Mudd" was a good band name?
"Ian, what should we call the band?"
"How about...Puddle of Mudd!"
"I don't know..."
"No wait. Here's the catch...We spell mudd with TWO Ds!"
"SWEET!"
"Swiggity- Sweet."

"I don't know..."
"No wait. Here's the catch...We spell Oblivians with an A!"
"SWEET!"
Swiggity- Sweet."
it works with the Gories too...
but those 2 bands rule...

Any news on East Cost dates (MA, NY, etc) ??
Would like to add a couple of Canadian gigs to the stretch if interested... I'll write the booking agent I guess but would be helpful to know what's lined up so far.
Happy New Year to all!

One in Memphis, one in Detroit and two weeks in Europe
only home town gigs. Detroit is a good option for NYC folks though.
