I think you will be ok because they are going through and playing their show tonight. They're just salvaging whatever gear they can but J is really gonna miss his custom made pedal box, hopefully he can find some good pedals before the show but this must really suck for them

that was a damn nice Rickenbacker Lou has. I want one of those!

holy-reverb!! 08.30.2006 05:02 PM

I saw J playing one of stolen jazzmasters two months ago and now its gone. thats so sad.

Danny Himself 08.30.2006 05:03 PM

Well, I checked eBay. Nuthin.

drrrtyboots 08.30.2006 11:23 PM

It was stolen from outside the hotel while they slept. The moral of the story is that a) you don't stay in shitty neighborhoods and/or b) you get a bigger fucking lock.

The show tonight in New Haven was still very good. Lou played his giant sled-like Fender Thunderbird bass, which his friend Zeke brought down from his parents' place in Westfield. It definitely had a different sound to it (or so I thought) -- a lot less distortion & sustain, not as much of a high-end. Lou wasn't all that broken up about it, actually. J was mostly OK ("stoic" -- imagine that ;) ). His wife Louisa was there when it happened so she helped him deal. They drove back to Amherst to get more gear. You could tell he didn't have his usual arsenal of effects but he was still as God-like as ever.

Pax Americana 08.31.2006 01:21 PM

I just heard about this! That sucks soooo bad! I'm going to see them tonight in Buffalo. I just hope that the lack of their usual gear doesn't effect their performance too much. Man, I hate hearing about shit like this, people that do this really piss me off.

baby bulldog 08.31.2006 03:08 PM

Don't worry in Buffalo.Be prepared to have your head ripped off by this band.Last night in New Haven was immense soundage.They've never sounded better.

Pax Americana 09.01.2006 12:41 AM

Wow. That was a totally amazing show. They fucking tore the roof off, borrowed gear be damned, they were still just awesome.

cosmokramer 09.01.2006 03:04 AM

fullchromelogic 09.01.2006 01:47 PM

Your Living All Over Me and probably Bug to start off

baby bulldog 09.01.2006 06:48 PM

The first 3 is all you need for starters...

_tunic_ 09.02.2006 07:22 AM

Track 6 on Hand It Over on repeat mode. That's all you need ...

Am I the only one that likes the later albums better?

Yes.

The Lung 09.02.2006 12:51 PM

I second that

Fantinfind 09.05.2006 08:50 AM

Saw them last week; only played the Wagon from non-first three albums. I always liked Bug. Must see live if you get a chance.
Marshall stacks!
