"Hey everyone! We just started the first leg of our crazy nine week tour (which ends in NYC on Halloween). These next few weeks we will be joined by our brothers, the Beets, on what we've named the Nightmare of Sound tour. [Tuesday] night was our kickoff show in Brooklyn at Death by Audio.According to the latest set of Vivian Girls tour dates, their Halloween show has been combined with the Crystal Stilts Halloween show for one big Halloween show.Cassie made new shirts for this tour. We have our Moped Girls 7"s, WFMU LPs, The World's Lousy comps, tote bags, pins, and soon (Sept. 8th) our new album, Everything Goes Wrong, on vinyl and CD. We played with Real Estate, Best Fwends, and the Beets." [Vivian Girls blog posting]
Real Estate play again tonight (8/27) at Brooklyn Bowl. Best Fwends played a few shows for the week they were in town from Texas. Another one was at The Studio @ Webster Hall.

Was at this show. I can safely say that history was made that night.
We are in the midsts of something great.

a bit grandiose dont you think?
cool it with the "we are the best" shit. most people dont give a fuck about the music 200 kids in the city listen to, or the fact there was an inflatable gargoyle in a half falling apart loft in some post-industrial neighborhood in a city.
lets all grow our own rice, slaughter our own goats, and get over ourselves. coolness is all relative. and when so many have so little, this show is just a drop in the bucket.
ps: brittney killed it at the garden last night.

hey 7:29, it appears you are too dense to realize that 7:13 was fucking with people - particularly fucking with people just like yourself.

I didn't really like last year's Vivian Girls album but the new album is pretty good! Its more expansive in sound, in a Sonic Youth-y way.

wow..the drummer in Vivian girls really needs to lose some weight..her skirt is hiked up all the way to her big boobs hiding her jelly belly.

Agreed. With hits like "Killer Tofu" and "I Need More Allowance," you can't go wrong.

Hey girls in the red from the best fwends pics..you might have noticed me and my friends looking at you from behind. all i got to say is, nice. nice.

The "idea" of this scene and it's significance is way cooler and more compelling as a "story" than how any of these bands actually SOUND.

Too bad Todd P was the biggest piece of shit ever that night because he ruined the show for me and my friends. That dude needs to check his ego at the door and go with the flow.

what are you even talking about 10:15?
nice vague-etude. smells like bullshit
Posted by Anonymous | August 27, 2009 10:22 PM
technically speaking, any of us could be in Vivian Girls and tour the world etc etc
i can't say the same for say Owls or Hella.
things just worked out perfectly for these three.
a lucky triad of mediocrity, and i say that warm-heartedly.

Todd P is always a piece a shit.

jez that vivian girl singer can't really sing a single note right, which would be ok, if only she wasn't trying....

Yeah Todd B is pretty annoying. My ex used to date him and said he was pretty inept at giving face, kinda like he was even afraid to stick his face down there.

Wow!. Crazy t shirts with funny stuff writtings on them, and mysterious scribblings on a Woodie Guthrie acoustic.And theres a documentary about some one who puts on these shows?
Theres some good bands who play at Death by Audio but this is just horrible all around.

who tattoos a milkshake on their arm..seriously?

Hey, nitpicking the tattoo makes you sound like an ultra mega outsider. Oh wait, using the words "ultra" and "mega" together like that means I probably am one.

Ultra Mega ok??
makes you sound like a Soundgarden fan.

the milkshake is a reference to her old band.
which is funny because that band went to shit and she should have had an awesome Darger tattoo in place of it instead. ah well.
also, whoever said they wanted to 'bang the bassist', i have a couple bra/panties shots that might you hard at the very least and you could take it from there, let your imagination run semi-wild. don't forget the lube.

which two Vivs would be in your threesome? Or would you pay $7.00 to watch the vivs have a threesome?

pic #8 in the vg section is great...the guy in the center...
a.) is from connecticut and has just seen his first nyc cockroach.
b.) dropped his limited ed. vivian girls wfmu lp and the asian guy crushed it beneath his doc's.
c.) just noticed that the girl in the tie-dye-ish dress just had a coke induced diarrhea squirt and it's running toward his new balance's
...also pic's 21, 22, and 25 in vg section look like they just finished filming a "money shot".

If Frankie is out im removing Crystal Stilts from my friends list.

Katy looks like a dirtier version of Jenny Lewis and Kate Nash rolled into one.
Posted by Anonymous | August 28, 2009 3:57 PM
That's a shame about Frankie..I was forced to sit through Crystal Shits one time and while I loathed that band for basically taking everything they know from early 80's English music and having one of the most borning frontmen ever, I thought her drumming was quite decent. Much better then Chubbs, the new drummer in Vivian Girls. She also had a pretty bitchin scissors tattoo..

No not random. Meant for these bands with the videos that are just impossible to watch. I believe Kids In the Hall did a skit poking fun at just this exact slop.

hi, i'm the girl in the red dress.
it was really fun moshing with everyone. this was a great show.
and no, i wasn't giving the dude in the sonic youth shirt a handjob.... just an impromptu prostate exam.
