The van blew up...sort of. We are stuck in NJ until Monday (hopefully) good thing I brought Stardust Memories along with me.

This is Why Your Band is AMAZING!

Some ~~Publicists~~ people are stupid. They will accuse you of being things you aren't... like an asshole or a trust fund baby(?) Yeah, payola is really paying off for Netherfriends, especially since you can now use EBT to get radio play and blog write ups. With the This is Why Your Band Sucks column a handful of people aren't getting through the title and getting the wrong idea (pretension.) Please, read the following (if you can) and replace band with ________:

…Because you think your band is special or different from the rest

You are not special. I am not special. We will never will be. Be modest and respectful. We play music because we love to or because this is all we know. There is no need to be a pompous asshole. I hope these columns actually helps someone out. It really hurts to see some bands get their dreams crushed, because of how oblivious they are.

Here are a few bands that I was blown away by on tour and you should seriously check out because I do in fact love seeing new bands.

Tungs
Octopus Jones
Braids
Feeding Frenzy
The Back Pockets
Chad Lore
The Zoo Keepers

Sorry if I forgot your band... it's been kind of a blur these past 3 months.

TOUR is almost done (for a few weeks)

I have been on the road for almost 3 months and I am returning to Chicago for a few weeks!!!! Anyone have a couch/bed/floor I can crash on? Plus I want to hang with some new people in Chicago. I will be finishing up a 7inch/EP for Lateral records that will contain the first 5 songs from the 50 songs 50 states project!!

Exciting shows coming up in November in CHICAGO!:

Empty Bottle: Record Release show- November 8th
The Whister- November 16th
Saki Records In-store- November 20th
Schubas November 26th

It will be nice to be back.

Again, Barry and Sherry will be out on vinyl November 9th, but you can pre-order a copy HERE
or pick one up at a show!
