Someone (August 18, 2006)

Well, I'll say it:

She Wants Revenge is fucking horrible!

greyicewater (August 18, 2006)

you stole my words!!

i do love pretty girls make graves though.

giant_robot (August 18, 2006)

She Wants Revenge is possibly the worst band ever. I can't understand why they have a following... Ugh.

mattp330 (August 18, 2006)

pgmg- sick, she wants revenge- fucking lame city

the_other_scott (August 18, 2006)

i guess with PGMG, a gun called tension, and big business now all headed out on tours its safe to say we won't be seeing a full-scale murder city devils reunion any time soon

also a friend of mine, whose taste in music i totally respect, saw she wants revenge and was apparently blown away by their live performance. i don't really get it still i think kthey suck, but maybe they just slay live

Someone (August 18, 2006)

girls + respectable taste in music?

you must live in some sort of fantasty world inwhich you can also get decent mexican food and birds don't try and shit on you every chance they get.

the_other_scott (August 18, 2006)

i'm confused. what about girls and respectable taste in music?

also my friend that dug she wants revenge is really into bands like sonic youth, big black, and burning brides.

also do i know you, or are you stalking me? because i LOVE mexican food but can't find any decent mexican food in new york city. and i HATE birds, because they shit on me and make me feel uncomfortable.

Someone (August 18, 2006)

I hate birds pigeons especially no regard for anyone, I wish I could find good mexican food in toronto (maybe haven't looked hard enough) but I can't.

and most female friends of mine listen to audio equivalent of shit, so I'm just saying if you ad the girls with good taste then you must have other wonderful things in the land you live, this new york city. However I am not stalking you, I'm just fucking weird.

the_other_scott (August 18, 2006)

oh my friend that likes she wants revenge is a dude, and most of my girl friends listen to indie type stuff althogh i have one friend who is really into ska (which i hate) and my girlfriend is into shit like fugazi and at the drive-in

Someone (August 18, 2006)

I could have sworn you typed she, BUT your girlfriend likes Fugazi & ATDI? she's a keeper.

joeg (August 18, 2006)

i really hope this is pgmg headlining and not she wants revenge.

el_matt (August 18, 2006)

They are. They follow some kind of hierarchy where the band with the most words in it's name becomes the alpha band in the tour.

ChokingVictim (August 18, 2006)

Well shit, after reading all these posts, I guess I like another band that you all can make fun of me for...

Someone (August 18, 2006)

I like them too.

Hulka (August 18, 2006)

Anyone else think it's funny that She Wants Revenge used to be a pop-punk band called The Jeff Tucker Extravaganza?

Someone (August 18, 2006)

if this is really them i can honestly say i'd rather have this stuff than hear them do interpol cover songs all night.

Someone (August 18, 2006)

Rock Kills Kid used to be Jeff Tucker Extravaganza

giant_robot (August 18, 2006)

No, I don't think it's them. The Jeff Tucker Extravaganza became Rock Kills Kid, on Fearless.

Hulka (August 18, 2006)

*wipes egg off face*

You're right. My bad.

SalsaShark (August 18, 2006)

This tour doesn't make much sense to me. She Wants Revenge are headlining at a bigger place (where LTJ or Fall Out Boy or the such might play), but then are opening for Pretty Girls in smaller places elsewhere. Really strange.

joeg (August 18, 2006)

that's what i thought too. i think this is pgmg opening for she wants revenge.

Someone (August 18, 2006)

It gets worst, Placebo is actually opening some of these shows (though they're calling it co-headlining, is it co-headlining when you're not mentioned on the ticket AT ALL?). In a perfect world it would be a Placebo, PGMG, SWR threesome playing in reverse order. SWR is decent live and worth seeing but I haven't seen an over valuation of a band since The Bravery somehow bumped ASH to the opening spot on a tour The Bravery were lucky enough to even be allowed in the venue to WATCH an ASH performance, and don't get me started on how the Killers went from opening on the Stellastarr tour to headlining sheds 6 months later....ugggggggggghhhhhhhhhh

Someone (August 18, 2006)

Yeah, She Wants, as bad as they are, headline Avalon in Boston, and sell it out. PGMG sell out the midddle east and thats like a third as big.

Someone (August 18, 2006)

Yay! the Noun+Verb+Noun tour!

Someone (August 18, 2006)

i saw she wants revenge at lollapalooza, and i can safely say that they are an atrocious live band.

i really would like to see PGMG, but even with this show being ten minutes from my house, i will not go.

Archangel (August 18, 2006)

Pretty Girls Make Graves -- what a fucking letdown that band ended up being. The New Romance kicks ass, but whatever the hell they released this year blew. Oh and they were lame at Sasquatch.

RRK (August 18, 2006)

incorrect

Archangel (August 18, 2006)

No way. I gave Elan Vital (thanks, Interpunk!) a fair chance and the only word that came to my mind throughout was: Uninspired. Where's the energy, the excitement mixed with technical ability? It sounded like they were trying to make generic indie dance-pop. I was bored.

Someone (August 19, 2006)

elan vital was pretty solid i thought, new romance was better though. either way, pgmg is sick live, and worth it. why aren't they coming to boston?

TESCOFUCKINVEE (August 25, 2006)

not sure but is that bitch in the pgmg band the same bitch from whorehouse of representives
