Gotta start somewhere. I was introduced to the P-Funk from the movie PCU and Ice Cube's "Bop Gun." |

So I heard the rumor on the internet is the tour this fall is going to be Say Anything, Saves the Day, Eisley, Motion City Soundtrack and Limbeck? Might just be a load of crap... no idea. Not even sure if I should be posting this in case it's true. And if it's true... *disappointed sigh* _________________ |

Well if it's true, at least I know I won't have to convince someone to go with me to this one. My one friend loves two of those bands and her boyfriend loves another. The only one we don't have covered is Limbeck (I don't know them). Interesting, very interesting! If nothing else, that means that they will maybe come on early in the set! |

Fight started, fight resolved, everyone loves everyone else, all before I even read this thread.  Funny stuff. And yes, Hannah is one of my favorites at the LC. She sometimes tells it like it is, but sometimes that is what is called for.
As for the thread, I sincerely hope they stop touring with the punk bands (man, punk sure sucks compared to 20 years ago), and try touring with a more complimentary band. But of course, they gotta do what they gotta do. As for Say Anything, I don't know enough about them to say ... anything... |

^20 years ago Eisely on a punk tour would be even more surreal On the other hand this new record might just be more punk, I mean how many twitpics of Max playing guitar at their sessions after all???
Most comparable acts are probably afraid to tour with them cause they don't want to get blown out by their opening act and come off weak. They are a hard act to follow after all! _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB

That's a lot of bands ... Regardless of whatever proves to be true, unless the tickets are too pricey, I'm there. (Actually, I'd still probably be there, anyway.) _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

Aww Limbeck. I haven't seen them in years.
Though, with that many bands I probably wouldn't stay 'till the end... _________________

Although I would love Eisley to tour with another awesome band (like they have in the past (Mute Math, Vedera)) so the show is even more of a bargain at $20, $25, whatever I pay for my ticket, I will go if Eisley is opening for Hannah-freaking-Montana. I am there to see Eisley, after all. Basically I'm just trying to say that I don't really care who they tour with, but if it's another band I like than it's a bonus. But if that above mentioned tour is true than I hope the venue allows re-entry because I'd only watch Eisley and Say Anything (solely because of the Eisley connection and to see what their live shows are like). Is this next tour for sure not going to be a headlining tour? |
