ZombieCrush (February 1, 2008)

They'll miss San Diego.
and I will be pissed.

Eh, who am I kidding, I would drive to San Fran to catch taht show if need be.

Kepi is the shit!

theshred (February 1, 2008)

yeah, it's not like San Diego got the last RFTC show and the first 2 shows from the Night Marchers. Don't get me wrong, this tour is OK, but pales in comparison to the other 3 I mentioned so stop whining. LA is 3 hours away at most if you haven't heard of the gas peddle.

irish_joo (February 2, 2008)

where would they play? the che?

ChokingVictim (February 1, 2008)

that tour is fucking ridiculous.

Torgo (February 1, 2008)

Seconded.

dropkicksoul (February 1, 2008)

why is it ridiculous?

ChokingVictim (February 1, 2008)

it's a good thing.

theSALLADmeister (February 1, 2008)

holy fucking shit! This may be one of the best tours ever.

punkbytheounce (February 2, 2008)

agreed.

dropkicksoul (February 1, 2008)

AJJ, BTMI, Lemuria has my love ... others not so much

PurinaHallOfFamer (February 2, 2008)

Don't hate, all good things

xfightmenowx (February 2, 2008)

Touche.

Dante3000 (rich) (February 1, 2008)

If that is an actual tour (like 20+ stops, not 5 shows) that would be amazing. The Queers, AJJ and BTMI! all have amazing live shows. I like Lemuria, but I'm not as apeshit over them as a lot of people seem to be.
-Dante

quoteunquoterecords (Jeff Rosenstock from Bomb the Music Industry) (February 2, 2008)

i think it's like 30 shows, dante.

Dante3000 (rich) (February 2, 2008)

That is more than 20. Making this officially amazing. I'm just stoked to see Bomb the Music Industry and Andrew Jackson Jihad in one place.
-Dante

quoteunquoterecords (Jeff Rosenstock from Bomb the Music Industry) (February 2, 2008)

yeah, well you're not allowed to come. sorry.

ElVaquero (February 2, 2008)

Lemuria is definitely worth showing up early... shit the whole thing is great

GlassPipeMurder (February 1, 2008)

great idea.

theshred (February 1, 2008)

WOW!!!! Mitch Clem is friends with you?!!? That makes me wanna be friends with Owen Wilson cause he can party still even though he tellls the papers he doesn't and all Clem can do is draw BOOOORRRING!

LookBackAndLaugh (February 3, 2008)

... ok?

24HourPriapism (February 1, 2008)

andrew jackson jihad are goddamn amazing.

alpod4 (February 1, 2008)

IS gd amazing

MattRamone (February 1, 2008)

I'm surprised there's not more love for the Queers.

victim (February 1, 2008)

They needed a little more pissed-offedness in their last album IMO. Pleasant Screams was masterful..Munki Brain was love songs+an ode to George Bush

MattRamone (February 1, 2008)

Yeah, but it was awesome. Writing a really good pop song is one of the hardest things to do in music, and Joe pulled it off in spades.

24HourPriapism (February 1, 2008)

only if they promise to play rocket to russia in its entirety as part of their set.

acris (February 1, 2008)

Oh my deity!

TheOneTrueBill (February 1, 2008)

I miss the Groovie Ghoulies so much.

Sherlock_28 (February 1, 2008)

this tour is the equivalent of aural sex.

thebigtakeover (February 1, 2008)

this is gonna be so great. It had better come to Buffalo

screeching_bottlerocket (February 1, 2008)

best tour ever.

AphasiacIIC (February 2, 2008)

i would go for the queers and AJJ but no one else is really that impressive.

Earl (February 2, 2008)

The Queers and kepi? that's what's up

baldsteve (February 2, 2008)

Yeah, sounds like 1996

ryang (February 2, 2008)

If we can get Kepi to play a few songs with Matt and Dave from the Queers behind him, that will be badass

kidentropy (February 2, 2008)

Oh man, I love all of these bands and they're all touring together.

Cross-genre tours are so sweet.

superskabro (February 2, 2008)

HOLY SMOKES! Now that's a tour! Just throw Alkaline Trio and/or Lawrence Arms on that and I'll be able to die in peace.

Adlai_E_Stevenson (February 2, 2008)

I'm gonna e-mail Mike and see if I can get this to come to Evergreen. Olympia needs some good shows, damnit!

Adlai_E_Stevenson (February 2, 2008)

Oh shit. It starts on the 22nd of June. Unless it's not getting up to the Pacific Northwest until mid-September, then never mind.

manincognito (February 2, 2008)

holy shit, i am crazily envious of all who go see this tour, because it is just incredibly amazing! i wish this was coming to canada, but it wont...i was lucky enough to catch the queers when they played the kathedral a few weeks back, and that was amazing..but to see them and all these others bands who are all friggin amazing..shit..this would be awesome..and now im rambling..but that's ok, because my comments don't matter, this tour speaks for itself! go see this if you can!

ThoughtRiotAF578 (February 2, 2008)

ORGasm?

Lorraine (February 2, 2008)

I wanna go! Take me with you duuudes

lintsay (February 2, 2008)

well fuck yeah

canaandrumzz (February 2, 2008)

Post here, if you want a DC date. Maybe they'll see the interest.

AlexBLP (February 2, 2008)

no fair! *huff*

Holy_Hack_Ben (February 2, 2008)

That is an awesome tour. I really hope it somes to San Antonio or at least Austin, even though Austin sucks.

olmec (February 2, 2008)

So I was looking at my Asian Man 10th anniversary poster, and noticed they don't have Pezcore pictured as a release. I have the 5th anniversary poster at my mom's, and I can't remember if it was on there or not.

Is there bad blood there?

(and I know it was a reissue on Asian Man, but the poster has the Screeching Weasel reissues pictured)

ashtraymonument (February 2, 2008)

that's weird, its probably because Screeching Weasel pulled from Lookout and gave the rights to asian man.

I got my copy of Pezcore from Asian Man too

FresnoSka (February 2, 2008)

LTJ took it back and re-re-released it on Fueled by Ramen (First on Dill, then Asian Man, then FBR). I think I read somewhere that they pulled it from Asian Man because the label was not keeping track of their sales properly (something to the extent of LTJ receiving sales figures hand written on liner paper)....I read this story a long time ago, so I might not be precise on the details

SkolarX (February 2, 2008)

sweet. now hopefully this rolls through detroit. its been a few years since the queers have played here and i think its been almost 5 since i've seen kepi play

amateursuperhero (February 2, 2008)

I think the point of this tour is every kind of punk is really happy with at least one of the bands on the tour, it's like a unifier. Except for the air jordan/ flat brim hat hardcore kids, they are not pumped.

nothing (February 2, 2008)

I would loveee it if there was a South Carolina stop on this tour!

KlashedKi (February 2, 2008)

WHAT? NO CHINKEES?

No seriously this is the greatest tour ever and will have me hopping buses for a week. If this is anywhere near the CA central valley than I won't need to see another show for 2 years.

Here's hoping that O Pioneers does Cali too.

ashtraymonument (February 2, 2008)

I swear if i have to miss Andrew Jackson Jihad and Bomb the Music Industry again because I'm out of town, I will fucking kill someone

Bakla (February 2, 2008)

please come to Las Vegas

Bradasaurus (February 4, 2008)

since lemuria is from buffalo, they will probably come
