I just saw them at the Echoplex on 6/23. Planning on seeing them in Baltimore and in West Hollywood this tour (because I'm the most irresponsible adult ever).

Speaking of 6/23: Dragonslayer? Best record of 2009 thus far? y/y?

When I found this group, I was insanely excited. Then I was like, "well, it hasn't been updated for a million years or something? ... eeh, whatever." And I was still excited. Because you guys know. Yeah.

I'm sure you also know about the tour, etc.:

I'm seeing them in DC tomorrow. Um, yay! Going to try to refrain from being completely intolerable. Am not off to a very good start.

Anyone else going to a show? Anyone else alive?

And now, from the Mercury Lounge (a TON of pics)

Brooklyn Vegan (better quality)

A LOT of pics, including some from all three acts and a disturbing one meant to imply that Mike Doerksen was a crossdresser. Yeah.

Because they aren't allowed in Canada, Sunset Rubdown and Frog Eyes will play the Beachland Ballroom tonight for $5. If you are in the area...

GO!

Everyones Favorite song of Shut Up I'm Dreaming?

Mines Shut Up I'm Dreaming of Places Where Lovers Have Wings.

Pitchfork has gone and confirmed what we all have known:
Shut Up I Am Dreaming is very good.

It earned an 8.6 and got a spot for Best New Music.

The (actually lengthy) review: Here!

Or just go to pitchforkmedia.com; it is the headliner.

Said The Gramophone's Dan Beirne created a video for the song "Us Ones in Between".


The post is here.

It consists of cars in reverse followed by a credit sequence that achieves more feeling than any picture would. I love it and am curious to know others' opinions.
