The Matches added to Plus 44 tour

Posted by aubin on Wednesday, October 4, 2006 at 10:20 PM (EDT)

Epitaph act The Matches have been tapped to provide support for Plus 44 on their upcoming inaugural tour. The pairing is apropos in light of the work that Hoppus did on the band's new record, Decomposer.

Plus 44, made up of two-thirds of pop-punk outfit Blink 182 will be releasing their full length debut, When Your Heart Stops Beating on November 14th. The band includes Blink-182 members Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker as well as guitarists Craig Fairbaugh (of Mercy Killers, ex-Lars Frederickson and the Bastards/The Forgotten) and Shane Gallagher (the Nervous Return).

Dates for the tour were posted earlier. The tour kicks off in little over a week.

randomhero323 (October 4, 2006)

yeah they suck

kingofsuck (October 4, 2006)

I don't know. I think even most hipsters are above listening to the Matches.

FuckYouOiOiOi (October 4, 2006)

no, they're not. i was at a party with a bunch of shit-eating hipsters and they were eating this shit up.

Hipster: What band is this?
Hipsteress: The Matches, they're soo good!
Hipster: Yeah, they fuckin ROCK!

NOTE: I'm just approximating what they said cause the only way i could stand to be around such shit-eating douchebags was to be wasted off my ass on their liquor.

going out with a bang and killing yourself?

Fuzzy (justin) (October 4, 2006)

Most hipsters (I mean died the wool, valencia and 17th street hipsters) wouldn't be caught dead listening to it. It's in the same vein, but is far too....not-pitchfork-worthy for them.

FuckYouOiOiOi (October 4, 2006)

oh, i don't mean art-school indie snobs. i mean post-jock pre-fraternity hipsters.

kingofsuck (October 5, 2006)

Ohhh. Then yes, I agree with you.

Someone (October 5, 2006)

the guys with big muscles that need to get in touch with their emotions, or just guys that wear polo shirts

I like the two +44 songs I heard so far a lot. Excited for the CD.

What're you talking about? That was Sparta that the Mars Volta was with for At the Drive In. The Matches arent close to that amount of talent.

kingofsuck (October 4, 2006)

Woosh...

Godfather (October 4, 2006)

and 1!

SteveJonesTheRealBones (October 4, 2006)

duh, no shit it wasnt the matches

At the drive in splits cause omar gets all artsy faggy and shit and in the aftermath, mars volta does all the faggy stuff and Plus 44 releases the more mainstream shit.

i didnt mean to imply the matches

TheNightProwler (October 4, 2006)

don't worry, I got the joke and I thought it was hilarious.

FuckYouOiOiOi (October 4, 2006)

no shit. but you didn't get the second joke, go back and re-read the thread.

LOL@anyone who said Family Guy is a better cartoon than the Simpsons ever were.

JonathonFallow (October 4, 2006)

It was okay. They've done better.

MrStylson (October 5, 2006)

this episode made me notice that Randy is the funniest character on that show, you rarely see him through a whole episode, but when you do, it's always hilarious.

NoControl (October 5, 2006)

ive thought that for a few years now. hes so dramatic about everything.

MrStylson (October 5, 2006)

him freaking out when the two guys come to the door had me laughing hysterically

kingofsuck (October 5, 2006)

His dying sounds in Best Buy did it for me.

NoControl (October 5, 2006)

lol yea, that was great.

Sirens (October 5, 2006)

hahah they were so fat.

iconoclast (October 4, 2006)

they'll just be adding to the suck.

JonathonFallow (October 4, 2006)

This is like one big, giant Beowulf cluster of suck.

SteveJonesTheRealBones (October 4, 2006)

You still need that blood spattered Atreyu guitar to fill out the roster.

Someone (October 5, 2006)

holy crap

kingofsuck (October 5, 2006)

Holy. Shit.

If they're playing "We're All Dudes" on this tour, it'd seriously be reason enough for me to go.

Someone (October 5, 2006)

They have a "wheel of songs" that they spin for about half of the set to determine what they play. it has some really old songs, some newer songs and some in between songs. we got "liquor store" in dc...but i'm pretty sure "we're all dudes" is on the wheel.

they also did "one last cigaretter" per an audience member request.

Someone (October 5, 2006)

it was funny seeing the matches a few years ago dressed like normal dudes, and then this past spring dressed all flamboyant and in makeup and shit.

oh, and they still sucked more than just about any band i've ever seen before,

DeputySlickshoes (October 5, 2006)
