Here's a nifty Q&A with Televandals for those of you interested. You all should have been there last night at the 'dise because they put on an inspired performance!! It is standard for them to put on a pretty tight set as it is but they really stepped it up last night for the Emergenza competition.linky
"DISSENT is a new, rotating electro/synth rock party in New York City occurring roughly once a month at different venues and on different nights. Presented and hosted by Televandals, it features a mixture of DJs, live bands, hybrid acts and everything in between. This night is about bringing the electronic and live music scenes together under one roof and promoting the wizards of hybrid ear candy that already do it."
I have not done a good job to update this but here goes.....So Wednesday I went to Lowell with Annie and Phil to see Jimmy Eat World and Paramore. The crowd was stupidly ridiculous and distracting but of the parts of JEW's set that I did see, it was fantastic.Last night I went to Hartford with Annie to see MxPx (who rocked) play in between Drop Dead, Gorgeous and Chiodos (who both fucking sucked). The Webster Theater has a side stage for local/small bands to play so we caught this band--Tiny Machines--play and they sounded so much better than the main bands (less MxPx, who still rocked).And for the big finale, this weekend I am going with Annie and my sister Kara to Bamboozle in New Jersey for a weekend of music! Here is the list of bands I hope to see, et al.....Saturday May 3rd3:15 - 3:45 MAYLENE & THE SONS OF DISASTER 4:00 - 4:30 LESS THAN JAKE5:30 - 6:00 MXPX 6:15 - 6:45 A DAY TO REMEMBER7:30 - 8:00 ZOX 8:45 - 9:30 JIMMY EAT WORLD Sunday May 4th12:10 - 12:40 FINCH 1:10 - 1:40 ALL TIME LOW 2:30 - 3:00 FOUR YEAR STRONG 3:40 - 4:10 ANTI-FLAG 4:40 - 5:10 THE BOUNCING SOULS 5:15 - 5:45 STREET DOGS 6:00 - 6:30 THE RECEIVING END OF SIRENS 6:15 - 6:50 THRICE7:25 - 8:00 THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES8:15 - 8:45 INSPECTER 7
