I may have to go to Baltimore for this.

Especially if anyone would give me a lift.

BDx13 - 3-17-2010 at 01:31 AM

You gonna be back out east by then, I assume?

Thorp and I are going up to Boston for the showcase.
And my wife and I might go up for the show on the boat in NYC.
Not sure about Bmore yet, though...that's my daughter's birthday.

DaveMoral - 3-17-2010 at 03:55 AM

Yeah, I'll be around. I'm flying into Philly April 8th, late.

REV.PAULIE - 3-17-2010 at 04:21 AM

Joe Coffee's doing the Brooklyn show...Always good to see my buddy,Fitzy...It will be the first time him and I shared a stage...There was supposed to be a Business/Sheer Terror/Swingin' Utters tour in '95 (I think?) of the staes,but Micky and crew pulled out due to the tour "planning"...I forget who was booking that one..Us and the Utter's did about a week(maybe more?),together,on that one.

And,Duane,if you can make the boat show - do it...It's a fun time.

clevohardcore - 3-17-2010 at 10:39 AM

Will definitely make the Cleveland show.

BDx13 - 3-18-2010 at 04:50 PM

joey - 3-20-2010 at 04:56 AM

I wish the boat trip wasn't the same night as the bnb bowl.
YUPPICIDE is playing, NO WAY IN HELL I'M MISSING THAT!!!

forsaken - 3-20-2010 at 07:48 AM

It's my fiance's birthday on Friday and we are having a bunch of people over to celebrate so there's no chance I'm getting out of that. Otherwise I would be there.

BDx13 - 4-22-2010 at 05:44 PM

sorry we won't get to meet you tomorrow, jay.
hope you can get to the providence show.

BDx13 - 4-23-2010 at 06:23 AM

anxious to hear how the first show went.
paul's FB status leads me to believe there are quality stories already.
and not necessarily good ones.

Good show...Me and Mick had a row,for about 20 minutes...It didn't take him long to realize thay I'm far too handsome to be mad at...And,you can tell him I said that!

ShawnRefuse - 4-23-2010 at 09:45 AM

Can't wait for tonight. So glad the volcano didn't fuck up the tour.

ChadBeantown - 4-23-2010 at 01:03 PM

This is going to be FUN!!! half hour left of work and then it is ON!!

ShawnRefuse - 4-24-2010 at 10:08 AM

Good times!!! Can't wait for pics.

BDx13 - 4-27-2010 at 10:52 AM

Footage from Brooklyn, first night of the tour:

JohnJohn - 4-28-2010 at 06:50 PM

My band played the Albany date. Hopefully i'll get some pics up from that. There was at least one broken nose at the show just from friendly fire of people dancing. so i can imagine the Boston show being pretty nuts.

BDx13 - 4-28-2010 at 10:02 PM

johnjohn, welcome to the thorp/sgr board.
can't wait to see the photos you got!
how was the albany turnout?

MikeResist - 4-28-2010 at 10:57 PM

Is this John from Dead Aces?? Whats up buddy?

JohnJohn - 4-28-2010 at 11:00 PM

Hey thanks. The turn out was pretty good for an albany show. I'd say between 125 to 175 turn out. Most of which went ape shit during The Business. I was pissed that not as many people watched Hollowpoints. That seemed to be when people took smoke breaks and beer breaks. It beat the last time Business were in town. Last time maybe 50 people adn those guys just not up to par like they had been before or this time around.

BDx13 - 4-29-2010 at 09:58 AM

yeah, we keep hearing from long-time business fans just how much better they think the band is sounding these days. micky's been sober for a while and that has a lot to do with it.

i thought the hollowpoints got a good reaction in boston. it took a few songs to get people's attention, but by the time they were a few songs in, people were right up front. baltimore seemed to be an even split between active listeners and people at the bar. good number of people singing along, though.

boston and baltimore also went nuts for the business. boston stage was low to the ground, so people were climbing all over one another right up against the band, myself and andy included. the overhead lights got kicked out near the end. baltimore was a high stage, but people were still going crazy on the dancefloor.

BDx13 - 4-29-2010 at 09:59 AM

here are some photos from boston compliments of Another Mass Zine...for Mass Music

JohnJohn - 4-29-2010 at 03:17 PM

Yes Mike it is i John Lee! Yeah during the Hollow points we eventually got a small group of people to start dancing and stuff. The bogies stage is about knee high but people just launched themselves on shoulders to get up to the mic.

ShawnRefuse - 4-29-2010 at 04:55 PM

I hate it when zines come in and only shoot the headliners though

BDx13 - 4-29-2010 at 05:08 PM

she may have more, dunno.
should have pics of all the bands from zac this weekend.

MikeResist - 4-29-2010 at 11:12 PM

Who took the picture of all the Thorp/Sailors Grave people? I want that picture haha!

BDx13 - 4-30-2010 at 12:01 AM

zac did. we hired him to come out and shoot every band that night. he's an awesome photographer and i can't wait to see what he came up with. especially that photo. holy hell, there were a lot of people in that picture.

MikeResist - 4-30-2010 at 12:13 AM

By the time we were all done with that photo my feet were stuck to the floor. It was great.

JohnJohn - 4-30-2010 at 05:27 PM

I should have the pictures from teh show this weekend. We had 3 shows last week and picking through all the shots. Mike and shawn i miss you guys. Can't wait till the AF show. Those are some pretty good shots he got.
