Deftones - June 1st - Rialto

"In a show of resistance to the criminalization of immigrant communities and in opposition to SB1070, recently signed into Arizona legislation, Cypress Hill has elected to cancel a performance scheduled in Tucson for May 21, 2010...."

I hope this doesn't start a trend. You would think artists and performers would want to come here and speak out against the law.

[sin213]

man...

there are already a handful of shows we're not getting and its only recently that i've started to notice that trend that we are getting skipped over. we're screwed living here...not only by our gov't but by the rest of the country and world...

Maybe it's this years day of the dead Calexico show in October or something? Either way i've seen all of these bands plenty enough so it would have to be something like Jay-Z, Leonard Cohen or The National to get me really pumped lol.

Does the bass player still play that big ass balalaika? They kind of went away from that for a while, which is when I sort of lost interest, but I know this is a new incarnation.

[higgybaby23]

Yeah, still rocking the largest electric balalaika I've ever seen. The lineup was two dudes and two ladies.

[I.F.A.]

Awesome. The Red Elvises are going on my yes list.


Goddamnit. I just realized that this is the same weekend as The Pixies and The Black Keys... Argh.

[captncrzy]

Welp, I'm off to pick up Rick and heading to Tucson. Adam, I don't think you've checked your PM's, but I forgot to record your number in my phone before I left, and I can't get on Facebook at work because of the nazi regime. I have Matt's cell; I think we're meeting at Congress...maybe around 8? I'll try to log into facebook when I get to Rick's parent's house. I have Matt's number so he may contact you for me. TTYL.
