if you search through the punknews articles about paint it black, there should be one about them winning some fest award. there's a link to a site there with a video from the house show.

Chewy_Almighty (December 5, 2007)

have you looked for it yet? it's definitely on the internet...go to google and type in 'paint it black house show Fest 6' or whatever.

I'm a huge fan, but the last two times I've seen Smoke or Fire there's only been like 40 other people there, and of that small crowd only like 15 of us have been singing along and such. Do they really not have a lot of fans or have I just been going to bad shows?

wagner1979 (December 5, 2007)

agreed.
i was at the last Toronto Show, i think Spring (April 2007) and it was just a couple dozen people.
And Smoke or Fire kicked a lot of ass....
get out and support these guys, they are awesome live.

telegraphrocks (December 5, 2007)

I saw them at a bar in Chicago last March, and there were about 25-35 people there.

Same thing, only a handful were singing along while the rest sat there with a blank look.

I love this band, so it sucks to see them have so little people out there for 'em.

i wonder what room they are playing at the knitting factory

J4M35 (December 5, 2007)

Awesome

MisFit4Me (December 5, 2007)

They all need to come to St. Louis, but they won't. Nobody likes St. Louis when it comes to punk shows.

This reminds me... my college is screening Surf Ninjas sometime next quarter. That's right. Be jealous.

lintsay (December 5, 2007)

goddamn you and your swift wit. i was going to ask the very same.

chunks (December 5, 2007)

I want to suck on your toes.

...

Wait.

lintsay (December 5, 2007)

YOU SUCK ON EVERYTHING. try and go ONE DAY without having a mouth full of some body part, dude. just one.

chunks (December 5, 2007)

Impossible.

lintsay (December 6, 2007)

I thought you were bitching about the age of enlistment. Would've brought a tear to every beleaguered recruiters eye..

fallingupwards84 (December 5, 2007)

was anyone else disappointed with This Sinking Ship?

Dante3000 (rich) (December 5, 2007)

I get the vibe some people were and I can see why for sure, but I really liked the album. I've heard most of the complaints are on the production end but on a purely song level I really really enjoy it.
-Dante

J4M35 (December 5, 2007)

eh, there were some really anthemic songs on it

CogsInTheMachine (December 5, 2007)

I didn't like it at first, but it really really grew on me.

HOISTDATRAG (December 5, 2007)

For sure, Workers Union was just so incredible. Yet although a disappointment, I'd still see them live.

victim (December 5, 2007)

I don't think it was a disappointment unless you wanted a repeat of Above The City. Unconsciously I kinda did but once I let go of that, I really got into This Sinking Ship.

When The Battery Dies is still my favorite of theirs though

telegraphrocks (December 5, 2007)

Nope... love it.

Edia_Ave (December 5, 2007)

Come back to lansing dammit! Fake Problems killed last time they came through here, and i really want to see them again along with Smoke or Fire.

What's the deal w/ the AWS show at Mac's? I can't find tickets. Please tell me it didn't sell out while I was waiting for a paycheck to buy tickets.

Anyone on here going to be at that show?

LooseKanonYankee (December 5, 2007)

I dont know about Mac's but I do know there are no presale tickets for the show they are doing in LA (I asked the band directly) so you might not have missed the boat, just send the band a message, they'll respond

Edia_Ave (December 5, 2007)

uh i dunno about that one. i'm gonna be out of town for it anyway so i didn't really bother to look into it.

ExtraCheesePizza (December 5, 2007)

Crossing my fingers they get a Philly show and that no one gets their shit stolen here.

HOISTDATRAG (December 5, 2007)

Anyone else think that the end of 50 Cent Hearts played live is the best thing they've ever heard?

JohnnyZ77 (December 5, 2007)

doubt it. The best thing i ever heard is the reaction by kermit the from on the 2 girls in a cup video on youtube . that thing cracks me up everytime.

northdakotaKILLS (December 5, 2007)

seriously. bands skip over North Dakota so much, they'd be surprised if they came up here.

god smoke or fire needs to play ND

talk* to fp and set up the show yourself, there really easy to work with.

chunks (December 5, 2007)

I'm not completely convinced that North Dakota even exists.

lintsay (December 6, 2007)

wikipedia begs to differ. but bb we can pretend.

manincognito (December 5, 2007)

i need a toronto date. i caught smoke or fire with tim barry, fifth hour hero and crimson mire last march or whatever..and that show was amazing..and i want to see fake problems. i missed them at the AM! / Riverboat Gamblers / Fake Problems tour...

Dudley_Shale (December 5, 2007)

That was such a kick ass tour.

But when they came to Tucson, it was right after Riverboat got jacked so they wound up not playing that night.

Dordon (December 6, 2007)

yeah that tour was sick.

i saw all 3 bands in vermont.

first time i saw FP and the gamblers but i immediately got hooked to both

lintsay (December 5, 2007)

this will not come near me, im sure, as nothing ever does. way to suck failure, west coast of canada. oh well. i guess it gives me an excuse to travel. make with the dates.

cameronfits (December 5, 2007)

we played with these dudes when they came through houston, shitty crowd, maybe 25 people, but the coolest fuckin dudes in the world, both of their albums are solid

thinkerthought (December 5, 2007)

Awesome.

thatsyouth (December 5, 2007)

songs 1-7 were good. and so was 11. but i really didn't see what all the hype was about

Rozcoemission (December 6, 2007)
