About two weeks ago, Ticketmaster had the LTJ date in Philly with Oreskaband, The Swellers, and some other Japanese punk band (Bomb something or other) under the banner the Tokyo Calling Tour. Vinny posted something vague on his blog aboutu the lineup changing. I don't know what happened, because I'd much rather that tour.

If this is Cage from Defjux, that will be an odd mix but I saw him this summer in Austin and it was a sick show. Would love to see him again...and LTJ

IanIsSuperRad (October 15, 2009)

I have an unconditional love for LTJ. It's been years since I missed a show when they came near enough for me to see (usually Cleveland, I've driven to Detroit for shows though). This might be the first time I don't go see them when they're close to me.

Turnstyles (October 16, 2009)

Love or hate their music, every LTJ show I've ever been too has been an absolute blast. The band has plenty of sub-par songs, but the body of great songs is enough to overwhelm it at any time. Openers are, uh, eclectic, but Swellers are solid. At least no one will get over-ska'd like at an RBF show.

WTF people still like the casualties? oi. The Swellers should tour with Polar Bear Club or Shook Ones they book really shitty tours.

This tour reminds me of when I was 17 and hated the Casualties. Now I'm 23 and hate the Casualties. Less Than Jake is worth it, even if I do have to up tha punx.

PS, I thought they were closing the Masquerade like 4 years ago.
