Duuuuude I'm sooo...

Fucked Up will giving a special performance tomorrow (9/12) evening in Manhattan at the ever excellent Generation Records. They'll go on at 8PM and if you wanna go you better email fuckedup@matadorrecords.com reaaaaaaaaaaaally fuckin' fast cause space is absurdly limited. It's at a record store people... I'll be there with camera in hand. Now if only my Mac was working so I could actually upload the photos... Regardless, if you live in New York and you happen to actually enjoy good music, I highly recommend you make an attempt to email that address with your name to ensure you'll get in. I ain't promising you will though (I'm all set so screw ya'll). Their next LP "The Chemistry Of Common Life" is due out next month on Matador Records.

Hot Water Music. Thursday. Paint It Black. When was the last time you could have seen these three bands together? OK maybe Paint It Black woulda been Lifetime or Kid Dynamite, but you get the idea. On July 12th these three bands will be playing together at Terminal 5 here in NYC. After being disappointed by the lack of a Hot Water reunion show back in December when they started playing again, it can safely be said that this makes up for it tenfold. Missing this show should not even be an option. It's a Saturday night. It's reasonably priced. And well, Hot Water Music is playing. That right there is reason enough for anyone with ears to attend this. If somehow you're not familiar with these bands, check out their Myspace pages below:

FU, This Is Hell

After a nice afternoon stroll down Myrtle Ave I stopped by the post office to pick up a record that somehow didn't fit in my mailbox, even though 7" records have fit before without any problem. That being said, I finally have my copy of "Cripplers" by This Is Hell. Six tracks of hardcore the way it should be played including 3 covers (The Beastie Boys, Civ and The Movielife). This is a nice little appetizer before their new LP "Misfortunes" comes out later this month. I'll be checking them out at The Music Hall Of Williamsburg (I still call it the North Six) this Friday night with Gallows and The Cancer Bats. I may or may not be taking pictures.
