I am also DOWN WIT THE CLOWN

thats frightining....

Nothing has made my day more than this news. The Gories and the Oblivians playing on their own is amazing enough, but both together is total mind fuckery. 30 hour drive to Memphis here I come. I will feel such relief when I know that I have tickets to the show of the year. Soon I hope.

Big news. Any updates? Sorry to say that this would/could ruin any plans for me to go to gonerfest this year. I can only drive to Memphis from LA once a year. You could really kill some birds with a stone Greg..

You could really kill some birds with a stone

or an airplane!

zing!

we thought about this... might be a weird year.

For real...that was one of my first posts on this...some of us can only afford one trip...Gonerfest could be it..

Why not?

if i had money and i could at least go to one, i'd pick gonerfest.

of course there's probably gonna be a grip of periferal shows and parties around o's and g's.

any firm dates on this? planning my vacation around it...

Getting close to a firm routing for Europe. Stay tuned- Greg

Europe is all well and good, but what are the goddamn US dates?!?

can't wait for the Europe dates!
US dates includes Gonerfest???

US dates includes Gonerfest???
no the Goner Fest date is in Russia.

Getttin close to announce US dates guys?

can't wait for the dates that G and O will play in Europe; and for the Balls that don't understand: when G and O play in the US, will they also play at the Gonerfest; do the US dates of G and O also include Gonerfest 6?

Gonerfest is at the end of September. The GO's tour has been pushed back into July it looks like... but by then the economy will have turned around and all of us will be able to afford trips to Memphis every couple of weeks!

When will the revival tour hit Las Vegas?

Iiiiiiii haad a Dreeeeam

When will the revival tour hit Las Vegas?

Creedence Gorblivian Revial

One English date seems to be happening at some festival in Nottingham: www.myspace.com/blastofffest

Shame, it's about 5 minutes from my house but the rest of that line-up looks pretty weak to say the least.

pretty weak to say the least.
never heard of any of those bands.
aside from the top 2.

i think they will also be playing a festival in belgium (the one the sonics headlined last year)

bummer, since i don't like dresscodes & beer in plastic

Pretty weak was the polite way of saying shite.

I think I'd rather play this one in Helsinki: http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL2110/10182454/18302013/341105255.jpg

i'll bring the mushrooms!

Spain?

I think I'd rather play this one

you need any roadies to come along?

One English date seems to be happening

As it's the only UK date there's no way it can be missed. The rest of the bands look shit, with the exception of the always great Coyote Men.

Oblivians have to dress as Robin Hood and his merry men if they play in Nottingham! And play lutes!

I hear This solo act is opening all the shows:

i don't like dresscodes

didn't notice a dresscode last year.
Beer in plastic indeed sucks tho

Gary / Shaun, if you're heading down / up, let me know.

Lee

Dress code? What?

Kind of a shame they're playing England as it means I probably won't bother going to Europe now. Los Chicos and Coyotemen are great though. The rest looks like generic garage that I can take or leave, but it's not like it'll be painfully bad or anything. I think I can deal with it for the sake of two of my favourite bands...

Iiiiiiii haad a Dreeeeam

Awesome! Thanks for posting this.

Lee! I'll be heading up for that, so be sure to save me a space on your floor/patio/yacht. Thanks!

That is a great job on the "I Had A Dream" cover!

Lee. I think I'm gonna go. If you had any space that'd be really cool! I hope I dont get too wasted to remember seeing the Oblivians this time

Definently no psychadelics.

Shaun - we need to start a wild and crazy ass-shakin' rock and roll band. That way we can get on the bill!

You might even get to headline one of the nights.

Better start saving for my teardop Vox and some tremendous paisley shirts.

i think they will also be playing a festival in belgium (the one the sonics headlined last year)

99% sure - which means that i'll be surrounded by nashville pussy & meteors fans in a meadow- yùk!

Not if you go to the world famous Vera club!

NEED DATES FOR U.S. , i gotta ask for the time off at work.

Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Or get their old bands back together against better judgement. People, there's a big world out there. You don't have to go back. Think a head!

You're right. forget the dates .I'm making other plans.

i might consider although i have good live memories of both bands and i am not really a nostalgic kinda guy...

there's absolutely no logic in my last sentence - can i skip it?

Memphis will be the weekend of June 19 and Detroit show will be June 27. European dates are still being booked.

Awesome! I do believe I'll go to BOTH shows...

Memphis will be the weekend of June 19 and Detroit show will be June 27. European dates are still being booked.

next obvious question...
any idea when/where tix will go on sale?

Which clubs?

thanks for the dates!

GAAAHHHH!!!!

my stupid fucking friend is having his stupid fucking wedding on june 27th.

Shaun - we need to start a wild and crazy ass-shakin' rock and roll band. That way we can get on the bill!

Guy, find some demo of some unknown and defunct 'wild and crazy ass-shakin' rock and roll band', attach photos of another, also unknown and defunct 'wild and crazy ass-shakin' rock and roll band' and attach our names. Then we show up and play a set of Pastels covers for epic lulz

GORIES + OBLIVIANS + UNTAMED YOUTH = PARTY!!!!!
GOUY = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouy_balance (contender for greatest achievement of human kind, but came last in the qualifying heats)

Not confirmed yet, but Black Time, Hipshakes and Beast with a Gun should be playing a day show in Nottingham on the Saturday of that festival.

As it looks right now, I probably will be able to see the Gorivians 3 times in Europe!! Great!! Wish I could also see them in the US though.

i won't be in berlin anymore in july. classic that i'd miss this whole shebang.

Memphis will be the weekend of June 19 and Detroit show will be June 27.

Cesar, I am not booking this. I'm just your on the scene reporter. All offers have now been fielded by Ankie and if you made her a decent offer I'm sure it has been considered. There are other considerations though. Time, distance...Sorry we didn't get a show in Italy though.

Can a Spaniard let me know if I can buy tickets for the El Sol show in Madrid?

Can a Spaniard let me know the Spanish for 'D'you know where the Oblivians show is tonight? Where's Eric, he said he'd buy me a Sangria?'

Any word on when tickets go on sale for the DEEEtroit show????

greg O thanks for the information, I appreciate it

Peg & Greg are you guys doing any press for this?
if you can, please shoot me an e-mail and let me know either way.
And I'll do it up real proppa like.

richtupica@hotmail.com

Peg & Greg are you guys doing any press for this?
oh, and Eric, duh

3rd page?!

drat!

nquiring minds wanna know... if I can get a ride with Bill to Detroit?! C'mon!

@peg we are trying to book in italy right now also! When and where in italy? We are form Bologna

probably way early to be asking this, but what's the best way to get tickets for the european shows for someone in the states? online through the venue websites?

nquiring minds wanna know... if I can get a ride with Bill to Detroit?! C'mon!


get in line pal!

probably way early to be asking this, but what's the best way to get tickets for the european shows for someone in the states? online through the venue websites?

Depends on the venue. For the Vera show people outside Groningen, or the Netherlands for that matter, can reserve exactly three weeks in advance on their website.
For the show at Paradiso, Amsterdam, you can buy tickets at the Dutch Ticketmaster website. I can notify you in advance when pre-sale starts if you want me to.
For the Sjock Fest show you can probably also buy tickets at their website, like last year when the Sonics played.
And don't worry, all these sites are in English!!!
If you're interested in other shows, let me know and I will find out for you.

Thanks for the info Jasper! I'm interested in Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin prospectively.

For Berlin, tix are already for sale but the website is in German.
Maybe you can arrange something with that Wowsville dude who lives in the neighborhood of that festsaal??
Tix for the Paris show can be bought at this website (in English!) and printed at home. It looks like pre-sale has started on this one too.
And if I were you I would go to the Vera show instead of the Amsterdam show, trust me on that one!!!

Good to know! Thanks. Groningen is accessible by rail yeah? Everything in Holland seems to be.

Yes, Holland is small so you're almost always close to railways.
Groningen is very easy to get to.

Why not going to Groningen and to Amsterdam, like I do!! It is worth it, I am sure.

updates?

For the Münster (or Munster for the americans) show on July the 14th you can already reserve tickets online. Just send an e-mail to tickets@gleis22.de and you got further informations. Münster is in the north-west of Germany and pretty close to the dutch border. The Gleis22
is a venue for max 300 people. Of course Münster (280 000 inhabitants) aint as interesting as Paris or Berlin but you can have a good time here, too! And for the Gories/Oblivians show the venue is perfect, and there will be a Punk/R&R/Garage/Soul aftershowparty. So best plan might be to go to Münster first
and than visit Berlin (4-5 hours away) and see the fantastic double a second time!

Thanks for the info Markus!

that Wowsville dude

Alberto rules! I'd rather see him than the Oblivians/Gories revival any day.

People, don't give up on the future!

Ha Ha, nothing against Alberto (great guy!) but in my eyes thats a little to much honour for him, and maybe you'll met him on the Berlin show (in case he is not perse against reunions like Rich). Dont see the problem; you can see all the fresh new upcoming bands and also see a promising reunion once in a while. Why do i have to decide!? And nearly nobody here in europe had the chance to see the Gories before. From the 35 - 50shows i see per year, maybe 2 are reunions. From the 24 shows i book 1 is a reunion, just to get some perspective. And for most people here, who are busy concert visitors it will also be the only reunion show this year.
Hope the future wont give up on us!

Hearing Alberto say Ijjy Pop is far more entertaining than anything The Oblivians or Gories ever did.

Or when he claims the best colored vinyl is "jello". (attempting to say yellow).

Classic!

...oh didnt know Alberto is the new rising comedy star...someone
should give him a tv show! Maybe make him support the
Gories/Oblivians...mmhh no good idea, he would probably steal the show!

Tickets for Memphis shows will go up this weekend.

Tickets for Memphis shows will go up this weekend.

High Tone?

Yep, the Hi-Tone. It doesn't say anything now but I think they'll be available Sat.

at 10am via Ticketmaster I assume?

that usually seems to be the way it works…

STOKED.

bill, i just checked the hitone website and the links to upcoming shows all point to something called ticketbiscuit. not sure if these shows will be different but you may want to log onto hitonememphis.com saturday morning.

i will not be going out friday night.

word.

very nice! Is the detroit show gonna be at Magic Stick??

Majestic Theatre
(isn't that the bigger venue attached to the Magic Stick?)

Saw a MySpace bulletin that said tix go on sale 4/4 at 10am via Ticketmastah…

is the detroit date still june 28th?

and the memphis date?

and when tix go on sale, is the time listed EST?

Where's the best place for out of towners to stay near The Hi-Tone?

Don't try stealing Alberto from us "Ed." He's MC'ing the Real Wrong Numbers NYC/Thing With 2 Heads revival reunion.

Memphis shows will be on sale Saturday at noon.
www.hitonememphis.com

Call the Artisan Hotel at 901-278-4100. Home of out of towners for Gonerfest. We haven't set up a room deal with them this time, but if you tell them you're coming here for the weekend at The Hi-Tone, they should take care of you. It's right around the corner, they have a pool and don't seem to mind excessive behavior.

how much will tickets be?

We haven't decided yet, Bill. We have to book the tour first.

sweet - keep me in the loop.

wait - are we speaking again?

Yes. We're gonna need somewhere to stay in Chicago. Oh wait, I'll stay at Norahs.

Norah lives in Berwyn, not Chicago.

Whatever. We'll play Berwyn then. Wherever that is.

an intimate evening at cigars & stripes...

$20

Sorry Hi Tone you're gonna have to offer us more than that!

an intimate evening at cigars & stripes...


See, I was thinking a blowout at Fitzgerald's with Tributosaurus Rex (as Steely Dan) getting the opening slot.

So what's the drive like from Memphis to New Orleans? I am due in New Orleans for a wedding on the 20th. Google maps gives me like a 6 hour drive. Anything out of the ordinary with the drive? Seems like a straight shot to me. Leave Memphis early in the morning puts me in New Orleans by noon, right?

wait, so both bands are playing both nights?!

Look King Khan, hang loose. We haven't decided anything yet. Of course you can open for us. We'll let you know when everything's planned.

I haven't made that drive since pre-Katrina. It used to be a 7 hour drive. You might be able to make it in 6 if you were really hualin ass. Nimereht, both bands are playing both shows.

that is sweet

Wait, where are they playing any Detroit? Looks like TWO shows in Memphis. I'll be at all three! Anyone else?

Wait, where are they playing any Detroit? Looks like TWO shows in Memphis. I'll be at all three! Anyone else?

check 20 posts above your post - Majestic Theater in Detroit…

I will most likely be at all 3 shows.

just sayin'.

Sorry, I think I skimmed over it in my excitement. This is big news for me.

I completely understand.

great. of course everyting has to break on my van this weekend and now i don't have any extra money for these tickets. i hate the universe.

time to sell some plasma at the blood bank!

How big is the Hi Tone? I'm in the process of convincing my girlfriend that it's worth the 15 hour drive but I don't want tickets to sell out before I do it. I'd rather go alone than not go at all.

just buy tix - you can always sell 'em if you can't go.

Yeah, I wasn't really grasping that this was gonna be TWO shows in Memphis. (WOO HOO!) I get it now. The Hi Tone website lists the Memphis shows as Friday, June 19 AND Saturday, June 20 with tickets for these going on sale this Saturday, March 28, 2009 at 12:00 PM. Do it.

sell some plasma
i'd rather sell records. my blood is worthless

try vegas, they love mormon blood there

Majestic Theatre
(isn't that the bigger venue attached to the Magic Stick?)
Yep

asking again --

tix today for memphis go on sale at noon. is that EST?

Yes

I checked Ticket Master around 10 am..not for sale to general public until April 4. So says Ticket Master. ( Detroit show..)

Nothing yet...

12:07 here and no tickets available for the Hi-Tone ...

umm...that's 1:00 eastern standard?

No tix on sale yet. Argh.

Ticket Biscuit is in Birmingham AL. Central time. Guessing we won't see them till 1:00 Eastern.

Oh, and we went to Daylight Savings early this year. That could be screwing it up.

Got 'em!!

Just got Friday and Saturday tix!

GOT 'EM!

Got 1 pair of tickets for Saturday and 1 pair hangin.

Got 4 tix for Friday and 2 for Saturday...hope there won't be any issues with me buying 2 Friday tix for friends on my card...

done and done

Should I enter the name of the ticketholders or do you think it won't matter?

Shouldn't matter too much.

I know with the last Oblivians show at the Hi-Tone that people either sold their extras via an online auction site or couldn't go and gave them up on the cheap to peoples on here and they were able to see the Oblivians.

I'm not going to say that I'm the bestest friend ever, but I know that Dutch is working until 3pm today and I bought an extra pair of tickets for Saturday for him because he's special to me.

got mine for both days.

YOU OL' SOFTIE!

Artisan has on reserved 75 -100 rooms for Memphis Gay
Pride on the same weekend. They have about 150 rooms total.

So, where are we all staying? I'm cool with whatever at The Artisan but we do want to be at the party hotel.

Gen-X has the plasma screens for a few dollars more. And will definitely have more pride with me and my mimosas by the pool.

Got reservations at the Artisan with no issue...tried to get reservations at Gen X, but they said they weren't booking those days yet/didn't have the rooms priced and that I should call back in 7-10 days.

Huh?

Got mine

I got mine too!

PARTY!

Try booking with the Gen-X online. I was able to get a room that way (last week).

http://www.genxinnhotel.com/

got 2 for sat nite. hoping to drive a bunch fools into town who've never been to memphis...we'll see

Curt..thanks BRA!!! how much I owe ye..? lets rebel in Memphis!! (sorry, im watchin MC5 True Testimonial..wich is fucking awesome..and im ready to get down with it!)
-Chris

got my tix! Jun 20 - many thanks to John @ the Goner who was kind enough to call me back cuz I'd happened to inquire today. bringing a small crew from ATL as well... all set at the Artisian. gonna be tough to decide whether to hit the hangout action at the pool or the Goner Sto'!

btw: is there any cosmic reasoning behind why my spell check wants to change Goner to goober?

Party of six headed up from Atlanta and booked at the Artisan! Tickets for both nights!

Memphis Pride!!!

tough to decide whether to hit the hangout action at the pool or the Goner Sto'!

Both. Bring your records to the pool!

got tix for both shows.

anyone traveling to memphis from the columbus/ohio area? mullet?

Which is closer and cheaper artisan or genxinn ?

artisan is definitely within walking distance, not sure about gen x. artisan is also within walking distance of the bucc and has a walgreens and a starbucks across the street which is key for next morning tylenol/gatorade/coffee holy trinity of hangover relief.

So what's the drive like from Memphis to New Orleans?
when we traveled from Memphis to NOLA it was a good 7 hours.

I have tickets for both shows... now I just need to get a plane ticket from Australia to US. May have done this the wrong way around....

sounds about right to me...

So what's the drive like from Memphis to New Orleans?
i make that in 5 and a half

the artisan reviews at trip advisor are pretty funny...

the gen x is like a mile and a half from the hi tone according to mapquest...

it's a sweatshirt. you ever get a titty hard on when you're wearing one of those? embarrassing.
