Shows To Come (Little bit of Forgetters)

Shows coming up (I'll probably write about at least one of them):

-11/14: Bridge And Tunnel at Stolen Sleeves (see first post)
-11/20: Algernon Cadwallader at Purchase College (of all places!)
-11/24: PIXIES!

Not many shows recently, kind of a dry spell. I did go see Blake Schwarzenbach's new band Forgetters at a record store in Manhattan though. It was pretty cool, I guess. I mean, Blake's pretty much my hero (a musician AND an English geek), but sorry, he's not likely to top Jawbreaker. I knew a couple of songs that he took over from his old band Thorns of Life, but that was pretty much it. Plus, the show was really crowded, and everyone was crammed in the aisles between the records. There were like 30 people in front of me, and I couldn't see a goddamned thing.
The opening band was The Bomb, which was fronted by the singer of Naked Raygun (which was cool). They were alright. Forgetters was cool, since Blake was talking about Shakespeare and stuff. Oh, and this lady in the back kept yelling for people to let her son through. Everyone was mostly confused about this. We saw Jeff, our Jealous Sound show buddy, on the other side of the room, but he didn't see us. We tried to talk to him after the show, but he must have slipped out. Afterwards we bought records, but were to scared to go up and talk to Blake. Plus there was a line. At least I saw him in person, though. Fancy.
