That's an amazing picture, but he really is the worst hardcore artist ever, isn't he? Is that really an old man sweater? Really, Iero?
eta: I lie, it's a button-down, but my original point stands.
'The Girl in Question'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

It's a button down. But I think its from KMart.
Hey, his hardcore is TOTALLY legit. Why, just this summer he was rolling around and spitting and screaming about murdering hookers, gettin' his primal on, all curled up fetal "NO ARREST NO ARREST NO ARREST NO FUCKING ARREST!!!!"...
And then when the song was over looked up at the screaming crowd, went all hearteyes and said, "Thank you so much for coming, guys," ::CLUTCHED HIS CHEST:: "you guys are so great."
He's hardcore, alright. He's as hardcore as my Great Aunt Mimi.
That's you, isn't it, Trudy? Singing along like a mofo?
You should contact the photographer and try to get a print, Trudy.
That is indeed me, mofoing away.
He had been going around with the mic but at that point he stayed put for about half a verse. We were there for a while. I looked for pictures for a few days but then gave up.
Tom, you are brillant! I will absolutely do that.
Or you could just download it yourself.
Hmm...
I will probably download and THEN contact her about prints.
There is one other in that set of a good friend of mine getting lifted out. If its not too pricey I'd love to give it to her framed for Christmas.
The band that opened the Leathermouth/MSI show was called Tub Ring. And the blew. the. place. a. way.
I have never seen a crowd (especially one as hyped to see "their" band as Mindless fans get) take to an opening act like that before. And as far as I could tell even though they've toured with Mindless in the past nobody seemed to know who they were.
So, if you get the chance, go see Tub Ring. [link]
They're not just spectacle, they're pretty impressive musicans as well as being maniacs.
They have a few shows coming up:
Dec 16 2008 8:00P Al’s Bar Lexington, Kentucky
Dec 17 2008 8:00P The Keswick Democratic Club Louisville, Kentucky
Dec 18 2008 8:00P Southgate House Newport, Kentucky
Dec 19 2008 8:00P Skelletone’s Grand Rapids, Michigan
Dec 20 2008 8:00P Rhino’s Bloomington, Indiana
Also, they were touring with an extra guitarist, Curtis RX, who's in a band called Creature Feature [link]
They have just one show coming up at the end of the month in Seattle.
Dec 28 2008 7:00P Home For The Horrordays@ El Corazon w/ Schoolyard Heroes Seattle, Washington
Curtis is pretty amazing (even if he does drink "whisky and diet". and I am forced to tell the bartender, "that drink is not mine, it's for this pussy") and I can't wait to see his main band.
I never was much of a horror movie fan, but I'll give them a shot.
Creature Feature
Oh! I loves Creature Feature!
I was hoping you did, Jilli!
I'll email you about the Curtis Rx conversation. He's adorable.
Totally totally totally go!!!!
