Upcoming Shows

[getbetter]

I hope so

[tmac]

bahaha they are looking at MUCH bigger venues than fox/el rey

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

if it's gonna be a Coachella warm-up show they are not. It'll likely be Fox or Club Nokia or the Fonda or nothing.

[IceyHotshot]

Tmac knows things

[heart cooks brain]

yes.

all hail tmac, knower of things.

Im sure the eventual La date after Berkeley Greek is gonna end up being Staples Center. But odds are Fox Pomona. Probably Monday or Tuesday before they go to Phoenix.

[PJandBompton]

Hollywood Bowl

[suprefan]

Well you did make that deal, right.

[heart cooks brain]

the butthurt is strong with this one.

[TheRotten42]

there can be only one who is butt hurt.

[xuclarockerx]

Postal Service? Staples Center?

[cutterbutter]

butt buddies.

[Spooks]

I really would like to be there for that. Although I can't even imagine what it'll be like to see Black Flag in Los Angeles. I wonder if LAPD is over classifying them as a gang presence and a front for drug runners.

lol I'm sure they'll play in LA soon. Probably FYF? Not to derail the thread but I'm sure you would be interested in this. You should check out this guy's channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/Decontam...?feature=watch). He has an archive of full sets from hardcore/punk bands dating as far back as 80s. Everything from Black Flag, Bikini Kill, the Locust, the Smiths and etc. Pretty awesome!

Postal Service in ANY venue bigger than the Wiltern seems redic to me. They had ONE album a decade ago and is mellow as hell. Sleep inducing even. How the fuck people gonna go into an arena chill in the nosebleeds and enjoy that show at all?!?!? This and Passion Pit at MSG just makes no sense to me.

Flag will be doing FYF, so Black Flag is almost certainly a no-go. I really wonder where they'll play. I mean, Black Flag as a name should get them booked in a decently large venue, but at the same time that Flag stuff is going to detract from their pull somewhat, which is a real shame since that's a nostalgia act and it sounds like real Black Flag is already recording their second new album as a unit.

[Zafocaine]

See- The Doors after the summer of '71

[nathanfairchild]

i'm gonna try to get a ticket for the SF show.

[SlowMotionApocalypse]

Who the hell is the Postal Service and how the hell did they get so popular?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

How many threads are you going to ask that asinine question in?

I had no idea Flag was already booked for FYF. I'm definitely more interested to see Reyes than Keith. If Keith, Chuck Dukowski and Bill Stevenson are playing as Flag (w/ Stephen Egerton of Decendents on guitar), why can't Greg Ginn just suck it up and play with them?!

The answer: my dick, your mouth.

I think suprefan just came out of the closet

They're not already booked, but Keith works with FYF and has for years. And Chuck said in an interview that Dez Cadena has joined on as well, so it should be a two guitar assault, with two of the four vocalists from Black Flag.

Keith and Chuck both hate Ginn, and Ginn forced Chuck out of the band because he didn't like how he played. He said the same about Stevenson for some reason, but I think his biggest reason is that he has said he doesn't want to just be a nostalgia act and those guys all want to do their own thing and work in their own ways. Ginn is very particular about how he writes, records and plays, so he's gotta have control. I mean, he quit Black Flag because Rollins was getting too big and he couldn't get a new singer without people thinking that whatever Rollins did afterwards was the real heir to Black Flag.

I'm excited to see both for very different reasons. Flag will be fun to see them perform from all eras of the catalog, and to finally hear the My War, Slip It In and Loose Nut stuff with two guitars, but Black Flag is and always has been Greg Ginn's band. I'm more excited to see one of my favorite bands existing again.

And expect horrible reviews for the new albums, only to have that opinion change in 20 years, like they have with the post-Damaged work.
