Hull, kickin ass

Hull played Gramercy Theater in NYC on 11/13, opening for their Japanese labelmates Dir En Grey (who played three nights in a row at the venue) (Goes Cube also opened one night). Playing the big stage must have been a high point for the Brooklyn band, especially after they were robbed at gunpoint in September:
Cincinnati. Robbed at gunpoint. Wallets stolen. Luckily no one got hurt. Week left of tour. If anyone could help us out and donate a little money via paypal to hullsounds@gmail.com, it would help us get home. Thank you kindly [Hull]Hull is currently "slowing down" on the shows to concentrate on new material, so hopefully we can look for that from the boys in the near future. More pictures from the show below...

Great pictures from the show. Hope they don't go off the road for too long- new material is great, but still want to see them out!

I'm all for keeping it real but I'd like to see anyone take better flicks at that place, it's pretty fucking hard.

Haaah. Fucking fags. 1) They got robbed like little bitches. 2) They proceeded to e-beg for money in the form of paypal donations.
Get the fuck out of here. Is it possible to send a pile of shit via paypal?

That's the most pathetic thing I've ever read in my life.
Life can suck sometimes. Deal with it bitches...or, take the fucking Greyhound home.

That blows. Fuck Ohio. I think the story should change to attacked by Ninjas. Dressed in black.

To further comment, being a bitch and getting tattoos doesn't make you a bad ass. It makes you a pussy with a bunch of tattoos. These pussies fully showcased the their mastery of being bitches in this instance.
I hope their fathers kick the shit out of them when they get home.

Yeah man, I love sitting at home and pretending that I tour all year round with my fucking BRILLIANT band and I'm the original gangsta who don't take shit from NOBODY because I never leave the house UNSTRAPPED!!
Seriously, shoot me an email and we'll be happy to take you out on tour with us and hold a gun to your minuscule head every day since you are all such tough ass mother fuckers. Honestly, we really need your help because we are such gaping pussies! How did we even survive this long without you all there to hold our little baby hands through all of it?
A genuine thank you to all the people who actually know what it is like being on tour and even though most who donated are broke-ass, struggling musicians just like us, you helped us out with this situation anyway. We thank you, brothers! It's not like we were crying every day and wishing we could just go home, quite the opposite: we love nothing more than being out on the road, playing music, no matter what kind of cards are being dealt to us. We will always be eternally grateful for the support from our friends and we will see you next time out on the ol' dusty trail! Thank you for being kind and stay radical!!

Seriously. Fuck these faggots. You got robbed in Ohio. Bunch of bitches. And when you come to NY, come to real Brooklyn, not gay ass Williamsburg. Hopefully you get the shit kicked out of you and robbed again.
Enjoy your day!

You guys are talking shit on the internet, man. Talk about being a FAGGOT.

I guess dudes from "Real Brooklyn" spend all day on the internet commenting on indie rock blogs. Thugs everywhere are proud.

"Real Brooklyn" WAH HAHAHA HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA
The people (ok not all of them) who comment on this site are such self-important stupid fucking hipster bitches. I don't care if you went to art school, dropped out of high school, live on a trust fund, or squat in a dumpster on a bed of 40s. Be you from Bay Ridge and the Bronx or a sub-division Indiana, you're still a little bitch. Nobody is safe from the douche disease. It is an equal opportunity affliction.

indie rock is fucking cool man. i wish i could be an "indie" kid. i guess i am not cool enough.

Hull is the real deal, one of the heaviest bands out there, and good bros. And o yea will eat your babies for talking shit anonymously. I don't see anything wrong with a struggling/touring band that no longer has any money to get home to ask for a little help from their friends.
So, everyone except Hull tours armed to the teeth with gats and 9's? I've never heard of blaming the victim for getting fucking robbed at gunpoint.

Is that an 18 string bass hes holding? I see the Marlyn Manson fans came out for this one.
I think I just puked in my mouth a little..and it was a vampire doll.

Hull is a good band.
Dir En Grey fans were camping out in front of the (Boost Mobile) Gramercy for the the *entire week* for those three shows. Now that's dedication.
@4:41, well said, sir.

hull is fucking brutal. viking funeral is killer live. seeing them open for boris was totally sick, this show combo is a bit weird but dir en grey has some rabid fans, i hope they made bank! keep rockin' dudes, smo's got yer back!

Hull are a bunch of fucking faggots. That's probably why they got robbed and had to resort to begging, then post a comment to justify/rationalize their begging. Pathetic. Hopefully they (you, since the band apparently reads the comments) get robbed and beaten in every state they enter.

Dir En Grey fans making fun of Hull? Sounds like the the wheelchair kid calling someone a retard.
Again, there seems like an awful lot of anonymous posters shit talking on the net. Drew, sorry I missed the show man, looks like you guys were killing it again.

Hull is an amazing band. Don't give them money if you don't want to.
Touring is exhausting and expensive. And as much as you snobby fucks don't want to admit it, when you're in a small band who's mainly making shit happen yourself, touring is ENTIRELY about asking people for charity: Can we sleep on your floor, can we do a show-trade, gas money, etc. It cuts both ways. I don't care if you're metal or punk or that shit that animal collective plays, when you're a small, hard-working band, you help each other out, make friends, form communities.
So when they ask for a little help, I take that to mean they're asking for some support from within their community. BrooklynVegan was good enough to re-post that. But that doesn't mean Hull is charging into the dorms, Starbucks, Razorfish offices, parents' basement, Hoboken, or wherever else you pretentious motherfuckers are commenting from, and asking YOU for money.
If you think they're whiny bitches for asking for help then, guess what: their request is not meant for you, and move along.

HULL sucked so much ass.I wanted to kill myself.
But the pain was worth it, because DIR EN GREY is worth living through anything.
