"those of you who were at the last flaming tsunamis show know the deal.
those who weren't, obviously don't.
you're supposed to dress up either as a zombie, or a robot.
and when the flaming tsunamis play, the room splits, and they battle.
its fun to be part of, and f*ck hilarious to watch."




You go to NJ a lot, don't you Danny?
I WISH I was going to this show.
Holy crap.

On another note, to SkaDanny this time.. (well, kind of to everyone else too)
I know the chick that booked this show.
Apparently she has an in with Long Shot Hero, they're good friends or something.
Would we ever be interested in having them up?

I recall some positive rumbles in one of the "suggest a band to book" threads.

Mike hates them, of course.

oooo the flaming tsunamis. i hear theyre awesome. and their name kicks.

I like the Flaming Tsunamis.

I hate Long Shot Hero.

the funny thing is i actually have a robot suit. it kicks

So would we be intersted in trying something out like this some time? I ____ vs. ____ whatever themed show? Have the bands dress up too! It'd be great!

What do you kids say?

I'd rather just go to the show and have a good time. No gimmicks necessary.

I think we defo should have these themed shows.
It would make the show a lot more intresting.
Dressing up for shows and having battles, IMO makes the show 5x more awesome.
TFT are one of my favorite ska bands. I'd love to see them!!

YES. Long Shot Hero are awesome.

i agree, LSH is awesome.

I adore LSH as well, but I hear that their new guitarist is a dick. It's actually why Shady, their old trombone player and the girl who booked the show, quit.

They were auditioning for a while, and Mr. Hero was gonna go play for them, but they decided to go with the dude they have playing guitar now like a week before he was supposed to go to one of their practices. We were both very disappointed.

At any rate, I know Shady, and she's still cool with them, so ...

Yeah, I really honestly do just love going to shows and dancing my tush off and singing my voice away, but I think that a fun little thing like this every once and a while would be awesome. Just something to spice things up, ya know?

I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've gone to a show with a gimmick like that. Even as something as simple as Punk vs Ska shows.

For me, at least, it creates a really weird vibe.

Now, it'd be totally different if, say, you were doing a house show/party. Then it could be really fun to do some sort of gimmic.




Generally, though, I just find gimmics for shows really tired and played out.

Yup. That just distracts from the music. LAME.

See, I've never been to a show with a "gimmick" like that.





I feel so young..
