NO NEW SHOWS!

[patrickhallahan]

ladies and gents,

i was reading the "new shows" thread, and wanted to give you official word that there are no new show dates, INCLUDING THE RYMAN IN NASHVILLE.  we have no idea how these miscommunications take place, and sincerely apologize for any inconveniences this rumor may have caused.

we love you :-*

Well, I just threw $60 bucks down the drain........That's not as bad as the realization that I won't be seeing the band at the Ryman.  Thanks for the clarification Patrick.  Sorry to all those I may have mislead but I wouldn't have posted my thoughts unless I believed them with all my heart, and I sure as fuck wouldn't have blown $60 bucks on concerts I won't be attending. Oh Well. To top it off I can't find a copy of any of the early recording cd's anywhere in the city of Knoxville and they were supposed to be out today.

Who is this Patrick fella and what does he know anyway? :)

Either way, I'm too damn broke to be able to afford to see a show right now. Too bad my city doesn't have a decent venue because I have to make a special trip out of town to see good bands which means that I have to spend extra money which means that my show-seeing is few and far between. :(
(yes, that last sentence is long and stupid.)

Thats really short compared to most of mine.  I swear I win the award for worst grammer on the board.  And Guess What.............I was an English Lit Major!!!!!! :o

But Brian it might be a really good show. Go and enjoy it  :D

yo, I concur with dr.  it's not wasted $$ if the show is any good at all.  try and get something good out of it!

no apologies necessary, my friend.  i too have been swept away by the mania that is upcoming shows (who here hasn't?) ;D

say, aren't you fairly close to Louisville?  

yo, come on up for some drinks and good times.  also, the darla site has the early recordings on sale there, why not have them shipped to you??  :)

'wiggum, it can be your town, it can be a bigger town.  Sometimes they just don't come as much as you'd like.  Sometimes you have to travel to Nashville just to see 'em.  ;)

And your sentence isn't stupid.

Maybe you should get some of the people in your town to build a good music venue?  Maybe your town could become the new excellent place to play music, the nice intimate venue in the smaller town that all the musicians want to play.  I'm sure your city council is wondering what to do with all their money, right?  :)

[corey]

That's a big issue in this town. We're known for the music that was made here in the 60s and 70s, but this place has a way of dragging people down these days. There are stupid outdated laws that prohibit alcohol in certain areas of town, which pretty much means that the bars have to be built across the river. The ones that do open over there are run by stupid people that prefer to hire cover bands the majority of the times.
It's a no-win situation. There actually is a good venue that opened recently, but it only holds 500 or so people and is very expensive to rent. I think that keeps some bands away...
:(

Hm.  I think an overhaul of some of these weird old laws needs to happen.  It was you who said that beer on tap is illegal in your neck of the woods, right?  I can't even figure out why that would be a law, for religious reasons, for any reasons.  But the US has some weird ones.  Well, so do we.  Especially in our own bible belt.

Cool, thanks for the offer John.  I WILL see MMJ in Louisville before I die and  I would love to meet up with you when that day comes around.  Actually a couple of the local bands in Knoxville that I go see (P.Jones, Plan A) are really good friends with the Louisville Band Digby and they mentioned that Digby could possibly open for MMJ at headliners this upcoming year, in which case I will without a doubt be there.  With a bunch of other fuckers from Knoxvegas.

By the way since everyone else is promoting bands on this site, here is a link to our friends "Plan A" Website.  They are really cool guys (despite that lame ass picture on the cover of the website), Matt writes some pretty cool songs and I love his voice, I also feel like he is a genuine kind of human and that translates in his songs.  Love to hear what you all think about the songs so check em out.  They worked really hard on putting this record out and I'm really proud of them.
