drunk asian neighbor posted:They announce them around a month before the festival AFAIK. I believe you can buy tickets to them, but if you have a VIP ticket you can get into any of them for free. I dunno why I keep calling them secret shows, the website refers to them as after parties. I'm in Baltimore and we had the first Shindig here last year, including the Murphys and the Bosstones and it was on loving Yom Kippur.  Lineup this year isn't nearly as good.

I thought it was then tongue-in-cheek saying they were gonna send out the actual CD burnt onto a CD-R.

Riot Fest: It's an outdoor festival all three days. Friday usually starts late afternoon like 4PM, Saturday and Sunday will start at like 12:30 or 1. If it's the same as last year, they will have five stages, one of these being a small stage for smaller acts, which I generally like seeing more than the big stuff. The secret shows can be extremely difficult to get a ticket to. I have never actually gone to one because they sell out so quickly, but if you stay on it, you should be able to get something. I'm not even sure if VIP tickets get you into those shows anymore, something to look in to. VIP tickets do give you a lot of beer tickets, and your own special section to get said beer, although I rarely had trouble getting a beer from the regular lines. Edit: I can't go this year because I already planned a vacation and will be out of town. Also, they just announced this as well. http://riotfest.org/2014/05/10-years-10-essential-albums/ That's 10 bands playing their biggest albums in their entirety.

I've never been to a big festival, but bought tickets to this and just cant believe everything that is happening there. Granted, this fest is WAY more in line with my tastes (esp. high school me) than Cochella.

There's a lot more people in black? I've never been to Coachella so I have no clue what that is like. The stages are pretty well spread apart, so you don't get a lot of cross chatter between stages. There's also a carnival, with a ferris wheel, some spinny rides, a midway, all that jazz. You have to buy tickets inside for those, like $1 a ride or something. Beer is reasonably priced, I think $5 or $6 for something like Magic Hat. This takes place in a large park on the NW side of Chicago. Public transportation to/from there kind of sucks because it's a good mile or more to the nearest El station, so the buses get crazy packed. If you can, ride a bike, that is the lowest hassle way to get there, otherwise plan to walk a long ways.

The idea is that they legally can't send the actual CD, but they CAN send a blank CD with the album art, in a case with the album title and all of the album lyrics and the names of the songs on the album on the back. What you do with that CD is, of course, entirely up to you.

Usually I can't be bothered to go to Silver Spring, but man, Streetlight. Never actually been to the Fillmore. Speaking of the Fillmore, Rx Bandits are playing there soon. Complete tour dates: http://www.rxbanditsofficial.com/

You're a stupid baby who can't appreciate the fact that this is literally them thumbing their nose at Victory for not just giving them the CD.

So while having my entire library on random, I heard a song that was vaguely familiar but sounded pretty good! I looked and holy poo poo it was Catch 22, from their Permanent Revolution album that I had completely forgot existed. I remembered not liking this album very much, but maybe I was wrong? Nope, most of the songs still aren't very good, but there were a couple that were better than I remembered. At any rate, what the gently caress happened to Catch 22? They haven't released anything since Permanent Revolution, and that was eight goddamn years ago. Their website is currently just a giant flier and hotlink to buy tickets to a concert from two years ago.  The most I can find from them is their facebook, which has only had "hey go support our musician friend at this show" and "woo, 500 likes!" posts through the past two years as well.I mean I know Streetlight basically stole the show from them, but I didn't think they'd just up and vanish like this. I would've guessed they'd at least announce they were splitting up or something.

Outside of Prologue, On the Black Sea, and maybe Epiloue I don't care much for it honestly, but maybe the rest of it will grow on me a bit after listening to it more after having forgotten about it! At any rate, does anyone know where they vanished to?

Ryan Eldred was on the Ska Goes Solo tour. That's the closest I've seen to seeing Catch-22 billed in years.

I forgot the Planet Smashers put out a new album last month. If you also forgot it, you can buy it for $5 right now at Amazon MP3: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._rd_i=163856011 Their $5 sales change monthly, I think, so if you want it snap it up soon.

I was at both but left after IV4K on Saturday. The Cake Shop is a horrible venue and seemed especially bad for a ska show. Sunday was good though. I skipped most of Jiker's set because I wanted to watch hockey, but everyone else was really great. Slow Gherkin had Jeff Rosenstock and Dan Potthast playing with them for a little bit, and just seemed really happy to be on stage. MU330 (really just Dan singing their songs with people from other bands playing with him) was the secret guest.

lessthankyle posted:Did anyone make it to the Apple Stomp make up shows this weekend? I had to miss out on Sunday, the only one I was planning on seeing. The secret headliner for Friday night's pre-show (or whatever) was some amalgam of the Pietasters with Vic Ruggiero and Jeremy Kay. Their set was about two hours worth of sloppy/drunken performances with a lot of sudden stops, forgotten lyrics, and random insertions of popular songs. It was kind of entertaining, but dragged on a bit too long. I think I walked out of Cake Shop at 2:30 a.m. or so.
