johnrambo (August 13, 2009)

i need a drink

ChadReligion (August 13, 2009)

these are all horrible bands, and should make for a crappy tour
Set Your Goals is maybe the only band I am partial to

telegraphrocks (August 13, 2009)

Bunch of Shitty Bands Announce Shitty Tour for Shitty Magazine!

Stoked!

colin (August 13, 2009)

but the real question is will scoot heisel be there, and will he be trying to seduce underage girls with backstage passes and boxes of velveeta?

Dusticles (August 13, 2009)

And telling people how he has advanced copies of some awful band the said underage girls like.

Banal242 (August 13, 2009)

He'll show up here to defend the publication.

"We put Gaslight Anthem on the cover once!!!"

14theroad (August 13, 2009)

He's already been here today. I imagine he's sleeping off the seven helpings of Turkey he had at Cracker Barrel.

Dusticles (August 13, 2009)

I'm going to make a positive comment that at least a bunch of shitty bands are touring together. This means instead of six bad shows in each city it's just one. Or something.

red_eye_inc (August 13, 2009)

Ok, so this tour's going to suck, blah blah blah but I saw it in the HOB website and tickets are $13. I haven't been to a show that cheap here in years. Even the Lawrence Arms 10th Anniversary show is more expensive than that and it's not part of a tour and it's at a slightly smaller place. So, kudos to AP or whoever put up the money to make this tour so cheap.

wonton (August 13, 2009)

Each show is def. Gonna sell out though.

ChadReligion (August 13, 2009)

AP has enough money to make this cheap, to where the Larry Arms gotta hold on to every bit of money they make

red_eye_inc (August 13, 2009)

Nope, they sell out that place every time they play there and none of them have to travel. It's not like they're a full time band really anymore and it's their only source of income.

ChadReligion (August 13, 2009)

yeah, but they have a good guarantee every night, not to mention, mad royalties from everything
yeah, of course, he co runs that label with that other dipshit

Tom1022 (August 13, 2009)

hold on to, or spend on coke?

miniblindbandit (August 13, 2009)

this would freak me the fuck out if i was in that mall.

thatsyouth (August 13, 2009)

People freak me out sometimes.

14theroad (August 13, 2009)

The future freaks me out?

thatsyouth (August 13, 2009)

I actually thought of that as I was typing it. What a terrible song by a band that only managed to write one decent one. Chances are it's directly from a song but idk what. Sounds familiar.

14theroad (August 13, 2009)

Also, "Hairdresser On Fire" just came on as I read this.

ChadReligion (August 13, 2009)

that's pretty awesome....
too bad the video isn't on youtube

damn, what some people do for attention

14theroad (August 13, 2009)

If you're going to do something like this you should at least go out of your way to have someone film it ala Clint Eastwood's "Dead Pool".

baldy_shale (August 13, 2009)

Fire sale!

ibitchslappedyourmama (August 13, 2009)

noooo

Cheesetits (August 13, 2009)

This tour should be sponsored by Alt Press.

David5345 (August 13, 2009)

More like the Sucks Balls Tour. Amiright?

johnnycarnage (August 14, 2009)

well, i actually do very much hate the academy is and mayday parade, but set your goals? really? that bad?

to each their own (and i forget that i'm not as angry or as much of an elitist as 99.9% of punknews.org members.)

GO LOWER CASE J'S! YEAH! HARDCORE AND EX-FUCKING-TREME! who knows about them, HUH?!?!

Salvador (August 14, 2009)

does anyone care about this tour besides little kids with tight pants and expensive phones? no.
SET your goals opened for LTJ a while back and they just plain sucked. they shoved the mics into their mouths the WHOLE fucking set.
