Death From Above 1979

[HAMMERHEAD]

i'm in this

same, i thought the crowd in that area was particularly energetic and into it with the exception of a few mystified kanye fans.

I wanted to run up to the sound booth and punch whoever was behind the deck in the mouth for the lack of general volume but all in all it was a great set

seriously where was the fucking bass. i heard louder sets at the fucking gobi, that should've been one of the loudest sets of the weekend.

I wanted that shirt at Coachella but not enough to buy it. Now, when I have less money, I want it. Wtf. I think it's because I never realized it said "from the grave to the desert". It's just so clever.

It was totally fun to watch some hipsters in the pit. It was like an epiphany for some of them I swear!

[PapaDill]

Here's a video I shot with the pit breaking up right in front of me...
Turn It Out...

I'm in this. I'm the big guy wearing a teal shirt and a lime green bandana. I wanted to rage harder at dfa, but by Sunday I was a little tuckered out.

[frijolesx]

CHAOS

dead center, front row, red hat. i loved the hell out of this set, loved all the kanye fans bitching about it being too loud, loved the girls next to me complaining about the pit being too close, loved the crowd surfers kicking me in the head, loved the looks jfk and sebastian were throwing each other, even loved walking through all the old heads complaining that kids listen to 'shit music' as they waited arms folded for duran duran. all in all it was glorious.

(oh and these)

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Wow that is an awesome shirt

[ElBlueblazer]

awesomely shitty!

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

awesomely shitty!

Why?

[ElBlueblazer]

I guess it's cool if you're into the tapout/affliction look.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

it feels like it's making fun of it to me.

[thetello]

drinkey drinkey drunkey?

edit: after a few re-reads of what you said, my mistake on that one, your wording was throwing me off.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

woops one extra "it" did make that confusing ahaha. I was still at work at the time. I still haven't had a single drop of alcohol today...

[getbetter]

I guess it's cool if you're into the tapout/affliction look.

I don't see how it has that look.

[TallGuyCM]

I don't see how it has that look.

You live in the 909. You're immune to that look at this point.

Sounds about right,we have tons of douches wearing those type of shirts.I'm guessing the skull and bird wings what make it like tapout/affliction shirt.

[thetello]

I guess it's cool if you're into the tapout/affliction look.

i took it as them making fun of that look/continuing with the 'coming back from the dead' theme they've got going on now.

[getbetter]

I didn't notice til today that the skulls are conjoined.

They released this today. New songs and a new tour.

Almost exactly eleven years ago to the day, Jesse picked up a bass and wrote three songs. He recorded them to his 8-track recorder (far too many tracks as it turns out) then played them for me in his car and said, “We should start a band.”
I said, “Ok.”
So we wrote a couple more songs.
Nine months later Jesse said, “We should go play some shows.”
I said, “Ok.”
We got into Jesse’s car (‘93 Honda) and drove to Cleveland to play a show in a wrestling gym. After sitting around the parking lot for a couple of hours while a modest crowd of angular-groomed kids gathered, a wrestler with a bleached blond mullet-mohawk drove up in his pick-up truck and said that there would be a no show tonight.
We said, “Ok.”
So we drove through the night across the I-80, counting splattered deer carcasses all the way to New York City, absolutely out of our minds on tall can energy drinks and Ephedrine pills (which were, at the time, still legal).
After arriving Jesse admitted to me that he’d been hallucinating old men walking onto the interstate.
I said: “Ok…”
This was my first trip to NYC, and to say I was happy to be alive would be an understatement.
I may have been really living for the very first time.
We spent that day walking around Manhattan smoking cigarettes, going to record shops and loitering. That evening, still with no sleep, we drove to Long Island and played our first show on a rooftop at someone’s house whom I have no recollection of. We played our five songs as fast and as hard as we could, and within eleven minutes we were done, both of us drenched in sweat and ready to die.
I said: “That was Ok.”
Jesse agreed and we continued in this way, never stopping to think for the next few years. Our way of always moving forward took us from that living room in Long Island, to hockey arenas and around the world a handful of times.

What next? Want to do it all again?
“Ok.”
So here we go. Jesse and I have been writing new songs and the only way we feel like we can make them any good is to go out and play them for people. We’re going to throw our little muscle bound babies to the lions and see who survives. We tried just jumping into the studio, but the songs lacked spirit. They lacked life.
So this tour is song CPR.
There’s no way for us to do it anonymously anymore, so we’re inviting you to come along with us. Watch us Do It. The way we used to. The way everyone used to. We’re a band, and bands just work it out together.

See you soon.
