Tours: Lifetime West Coast shows

Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by Justin on Monday, November 14, 2005 at 8:07 PM (EST)

New Jersey's very own Lifetime are playing 3 shows out on the West Coast come January. The influential band played a few East Coast reunion shows earlier this year, after their initial reunion show was canceled along with the rest of the ill-fated Hellfest.

Currently, only the dates and locations are known for the shows, no openers or ticket prices have been announced.

January 27, 2006	Los Angeles, CA	Troubadour
January 28, 2006	Anaheim, CA	Chain Reaction

This is mildly interesting. But I think we all know the real action is in the Warped Tour thread. That's where the party's at!

I just wished I owned property in Arizona. That state is going to be the new Gold Coast when it happens.

See you down in Arizona Bay. I could care, the way this shit hole country is a goin' dying in the biggest natural disaster of all time would be pretty fucking bad ass. -Dante

IheartAdam (November 14, 2005)

Getting rich off it would probably be less bad-ass and more spectacularly awesome. It's okay though, I'll pay Adam to get Hover out of there on the Punknews Jet and everything will be well.

Thank god for the Punknews series of multi-functional billion dollar mobile transportation unit. It must be amazing to be so rich. -Dante

You'll start to get sick of it once you've been here for a few months. Arizona has no scene.

VitusTinnitus (November 15, 2005)

good luck with buying up land there. some dude named "lex" owns like, a ton of property all along the fault line.

Someone (November 14, 2005)

You seriously are one of the worst memebers here. Please stop posting.

Dante3000 (rich) (November 14, 2005)

Aww "somoene", you need to take a nap. Someone's a little cwanky...It's okay, here's your bottle. One day, when you're big and strong you'll be able to grow a thick skin and learn to ignore other people. But for now we'll just change your diepy because it looks like you made a big stink all over yourself. -Dante

housewrecker (November 15, 2005)

Actually, as an East Coaster I've seen Lifetime and KD so many times that I didn't need to get too excited about a reunion. A big Nelson Muntz style HA ha.

Dante3000 (rich) (November 15, 2005)

One day I will kill you all. Honestly, I didn't get big into punk until late 90's early 2000 (at the ripe old age of 16 through 18). So even then it would have been too late. Curse my akward years of 1987-present. -Dante

David_Arquette (November 14, 2005)

A few weeks earlier and I could have driven with friends from AZ to California and caught this over winter break. Damn.

PsychoOS231 (November 14, 2005)

I'll see ya guys at the Chain Reaction show! :)

Someone (November 14, 2005)

I suggest that they record a live album. I mean, Jade Tree haven't put out a substantial release in the past two years, and have lost a ton of great bands due to break-ups/label switches (Denali, Jets to Brazil, Strike Anywhere, Despistado), so it's not like they don't need the money. -Chinatown

Mute98 (November 14, 2005)

i agree that they lost alot of worthwhile bands but the Lords are great

musical-monkey (November 14, 2005)

um...Paint it Black!

Someone (November 14, 2005)

Whoops. Yeah, that and the Strike Anywhere collection at the beginning of 2005. The new Ester Drang should be good too. Whatever, 2-3 good releases per year isn't enough for what I used to think was the best label on the planet. -Chinatown

Someone (November 15, 2005)

the strike collection is terrible.

Kenjamin (November 14, 2005)

why do you think yourself the expert on Jade Tree's accounting?

Someone (November 14, 2005)

I'm just assuming... I mean, they did hike up their CD prices last year, only to mysteriously bring them back down recently. A label does need to put out some important releases every once in awhile to stay afloat, methinks. -Chinatown

Someone (November 14, 2005)

prices up included shipping and handling merch now = prices down BEFORE shipping and handling

Right, I forgot. If anyone is coming way out of the area for the Bay Area show and need a place to crash, I always offer my couch (which folds out). I feel if someone really wants to see this, I should probably try and help out. Yeah I know, I'm just trying to sound like less of a douche. -Dante

Bahaha, I've just been ousted from the NUFAN forum (as both user AND moderator). That place was getting fucking dull, what with all the moronic threads that were going on. Thank Jeez-X. The Org will always be the best place for pointless conversations anyhow. -Chinatown

I've never heard anything from Background, so I guess you could take 3 songs from that one and make it a 23 track, 40-something minute live album. -Chinatown

Kenjamin (November 14, 2005)

it's not underrated. It's a cover.

Someone (November 14, 2005)

Well, it's an underrated cover then. The chorus is really great. -Chinatown

it's originally by Husker Du

Maybe Ari will wear the same outfit he wore for the three Jersey/PA dates. I still would've rather gone to the Kid Dynamite show in NY than the Lifetime one....But that first day fucking slayed.

Kid Dynamite in NYC = awesome Lifetime in NJ at the Stone Pony = amazing.

My universe just stopped. Hell or high water won't keep me from Cali.

greenerton (November 14, 2005)

This isn't fucking fair. I've lived on the west coast for the last 18 years of my life. I arrived on the east coast to go to school in NYC a week after Lifetime played those reunion shows in NJ. Now, they're playing three fucking shows in CA, I would drive down for that shit, but it's two weeks AFTER I fly back to NYC from Christmas break on the west coast. I'm never going to see Lifetime live. :(

HA. I was in California, but came to NYC for school in late August just in time or the Kid Dynamite show. Sorry, bud.

So when the fuck are they gonna play the central coast? Out east they got heat But we got mosquitoes They got a west coast scene Lemme tell ya where the grass grows Down south they get so drunk They think they're gonna piddle Ah there ain't nowhere to go When you're stuck right in the middle The Replacements got it right.

Couldn't the gulf of mexico arguably be considered the central coast?

So, how long until they just do a full scale tour? And then reunite permanently? And then put out a new album? And then give us all a million bucks?

truthfully it is sort of lame we all elft the lifetime shaws in phila saying "that was cool. they should never do it again" that weekend was important and exciting and thrown together off the cuf, wihle this is premeditated and not nearly as wild

And high five to everyone who lives on the upper East Coast or has enough money and time off work to fly there!

Kenjamin (November 14, 2005)

well they are from NJ and are a "NJ" band. I agree with the original poster.

Scruffy (November 15, 2005)

And are you from the middle of nowhere? I thought this "punk" thing was for everyone? I mean, they don't have to play for anyone but New Jersey (as you said, they're a Jersey band), but I think it's kind of stupid to get mad when they do.

Kenjamin (November 15, 2005)

Yea but there are reunion shows on the West Coast too that I can't go to (unless Drive Like Jehu got back together, which I would consider flying out to). I'm not gonna cry about it.

Scruffy (November 16, 2005)

1. I'm willing to bet you've lived somewhere other than the small town Midwest most of your life. 2. Nobody said they should have to play anywhere but Jersey, but you were complaining that they are because it makes the August reunion shows less special. I'm just saying I guess the band cares more about all their fans than making a couple hundred New Englanders feel special. Punk's supposed to be inclusive. If you lived on the West Coast, I'm sure you'd be thrilled about these dates.

Someone (November 19, 2005)

philadelphia and jersey is not new england

alright anyone wanna carpool? i'm thinking of heading down. portland to sf/la. i've got friends and family in both locations who could house.

fuck. i've got a couple of months to save up like a billion dollars for gas to get there and back. but i'm there, totally.

Dan Yemin is only 1/5 of Lifetime. I dont think he is the only one who has say.

chain is not part of clear channel. why dont you ask someone or do your research before believing the hype. trust me, noone wants our strip mall shithole. have you seen the bathrooms? you really think a corporation would BUY chain? sorry, but this lame rumour has gone on long enough. jon chain reaction talent buyer manager
