Thursday is hitting the road for most of June, playing a few warmup shows [one with labelmates Autopilot Off] before the Field Day Festival in New York. The band is then taking to the streets at the end of June for a fortnight of shows, some with labelmates Rival Schools, as well as with This Day Forward, Murder By Death, Every Time I Die, and Black Widows.

Man, these are Rival Schools' first shows in god knows how long. It's nice to know they're still alive, they're a great band. I just hope their new guitarist can do all that Ian Love did live, cause that guy was a wizard. -Scott

travis (June 2, 2003)

i was just wondering where they went. itd be nice to see them again.

Someone (June 2, 2003)

gay

travis (June 2, 2003)

yup. i love the cock.

Someone (June 2, 2003)

just remember...Helmet and Bush...lol, allhe needs to add to his resume now is Anal Cunt

Someone (June 2, 2003)

i'm just sad there is no atlanta date. i just might have to take a trip up to SC. i must see rival schools and thursday. -greyicewater

Someone (June 2, 2003)

what the fuck no nj date... fAt mAn

_911 (June 2, 2003)

there are more dates tba for this tour..

Someone (June 2, 2003)

really?? i hope so. -greyicewater

lackofsleep (June 2, 2003)

All I keep asking myself is "Why Grand Rapids?" Not that I can complain, because its cheaper to make the hour trek to GR than to make the 2 hour trek to Chicago for shows.

Timis (June 2, 2003)

hey..dont freakin bitch.......better yet...why not kalamazoo. at least kzoo is halfway from chi to detriot.

lackofsleep (June 2, 2003)

Yeah, but its extremely rare that a band stops in Kalamazoo. But tomorrow night is one of those rarities when Q and Not U comes into town. I'll be there.

Someone (June 3, 2003)

yeah, exactly, give us mid michigan kids a break here. you dont hear us complaining when every other band in the freaking world plays in chicago and not grand rapids. let us have our moment. ~Zäk

lackofsleep (June 3, 2003)

I live in the middle of nowhere, and there are never shows in Kalamazoo so I'm stuck always driving at least an hour when I wanna go to a show, I wasnt really complaining, I just found that odd that Thursday would play in GR. Same with Hot Hot Heat.

blaubs21 (June 2, 2003)

where the fuck is that WI date?

Someone (June 2, 2003)

its between Janesville and Madison...(Edgerton, not Edrgrerton)

Someone (June 2, 2003)

TINY place too

sloppyblake (June 2, 2003)

that cello player in little joe gould sure is hot. i'd do sara. oh wait, i did. :)

Someone (June 2, 2003)

snap!

Someone (June 2, 2003)

Taking Back Thursday

Someone (June 2, 2003)

Wow thats really clever considering they sound nothing alike and Thursday's been around a lot longer than TBS.

Someone (June 2, 2003)

not clever

Someone (June 2, 2003)

taking back sunday doesn't sound anything like thursday. you must be confused because they were both on victory. taking back sunday sounds more like brand new. and thursday sounds more like old deftones.

ElVaquero (June 2, 2003)

uhhhhh, old deftones? uhhhhhh... i have no idea what you are talking about, they sound like nothing off of Adrenaline or the Like Linus era demos. Deftones would have slain Thursday back in the day, but now they're pretty comparable. Tear...

Someone (June 3, 2003)

you wha!?! deftones have just got better and better as a band as they have aged, they were good @ the Adreneline era but white pony and self titled are uncomparable to any other band. The only reason these bands can be put together in a similar group is because they have both created there own unique sound that many other bands are trying to mimic. So if your following that argument, Glassjaw are also really similar, as are mogwai etc, etc.

ElVaquero (June 2, 2003)

Wow, i like both of those bands. I always swore I'd never become an emo kid.... aw, fuck that, I'm listening to Curl Up And Die.

Evil_ash_2600 (June 2, 2003)

Taking back sunday doesnt sound like Thursday or brand new (tho better), they are alot more whinier (is that even a word?!?!?) They should change their name to "Taking Back Retards"

lackofsleep (June 3, 2003)

it would matter if they werent basically over with as a band

Someone (June 3, 2003)

I hope you wake up and your covered with PORKLOAF!!

Someone (June 3, 2003)

What are you all talking about? TBS definitely has a Thursday complex. Look at how Adam presents himself, starting with the short bleached hair to his long flopping black mop. And if you go to a TBS show and shout out anything Thursday related, he'll get really really pissed off. He's really touchy with it, because he lusts Thursday and relaizes that he's silly and inadequate.

ElVaquero (June 2, 2003)

I love the band name "Murder By Death" it's pretty funny... in that way that it makes no sense

FortyMinutesWest (June 3, 2003)

They're named after a movie.

Someone (June 3, 2003)

Peter Sellers and Peter Falk satire of the cliched "murder mystery at the big mansion" circa 1970s. It's actually pretty funny.

sloppyblake (June 3, 2003)

they use to be called little joe gould.

Someone (June 4, 2003)

what does that mean? is it like mighty joe young?

sincerelyme (June 3, 2003)

When the fuck are thursday coming back to england?

Someone (June 3, 2003)

Thursday = pretty good music... pretty bad vocals.... I know that will piss a lot of people of but it's so true. Listen to the new song on the new little live disc and the song starts out really fucking good and then the singer comes in and it's ass ass ass.

Someone (June 4, 2003)

Holy shit! Thursday's coming to my culture-less redneck small town (Edgerton, pop. 4,500). On the same stage my band played no less.

Someone (June 5, 2003)

I must agree. But, it is fucking cool I only have to drive 5 min to get there. Hell Yes.

greyicewater (June 5, 2003)

not to start any rumors but i'm wondering if thursday will still be doing this tour. according to those cool kids over at absolutepunk.net geoff got sick at the Poughkeepsie show and apparently stopped the set and a few minutes later an ambulance showed up. i tried going to their message board to see anything about it but it isn't working for me. maybe something official will be posted soon if it's serious. i should be driving up for the SC show. if thursday doesn't show up at least i'll see rival schools. i hope geoff is ok though.

greyicewater (June 5, 2003)

now their message board works. it was said on there geoff is ok. so yea. i wish it had worked before i posted. ah well.
