TUESDAY OCTOBER 19//BRUAR FALLS//6:00PM DOORS//7:30PM SHOW//$8
THAT'S RIGHT -- it's on. Six days from now the gentlemen from Rose Quartz and Friendship Bracelet present a night of rock n roll, weirdos and rad kids. It would mean so much to us three dudes if we saw you out there, sluggin back Rolling Rock cans and goin wild. We have incurred some slight lineup changes and will also be starting EARLY, first band at 7:30PM. In addition, we've shaved the price down a bit, from $10 to a cool $8! Two more bucks towards booze/merch. Here's the lineup with set times:
7:30 - WOODSMAN
8:15 - TONSTARTSSBANDHT
9:00 - GREATEST HITS
9:45 - TOTAL SLACKER
10:30 - BIG TROUBLES
11:15 - GARY WAR
I've also taken a minute to collect a bunch of videos/music for you all to suck on between now and Tuesday. So PLEASE spread the FBUS X RQ gospel -- we'll see you there.

GARY WAR
Gary War has been at it a few years, churning out the New Raytheonport LP (originally released on SHDWPLY, soon to be reissued by Sacred Bones), Horribles Parade LP (Sacred Bones) and a bunch of other records, including the Reality Protest 7" and the soon-to-be-released Police Water 12" EP, featuring synth morsel "Born of Light." The track made its rounds towards the end of Summer, Fader claiming it was "significantly more cosmic" than the "goth mumbling" of yore.
Gary War - Born of Light (via Fader)
Gary War - See Right Thru
Gary War - Costumes (both via Rose Quartz)
Gary War - Using (via NME/Pinglewood)
Gary War - Everynight (via Pinglewood)

BIG TROUBLES
Big Troubles has been one of my favorite current rock n roll bands for over a year now. They have released 7" records on Blackburn Recordings and Olde English Spelling Bee, and their Worry LP recently dropped, also on OESB, a massive blast of shoegaze fuzz scuzz, drum machine heartbeats and synthesizer flourishes. Their live set ends up slightly different from the Worry recordings, as Alex Craig and Ian Drennan drop the synthetic low-end in favor of Samuel Franklin (Fluffy Lumbers) on drums and Luka Usmiani (No Demons Here) on bass. These dudes rip hard. Bring your earplugs... or don't.

TOTAL SLACKER
Total Slacker is Tucker, Emily and Ross from Brooklyn, consistently staying true to their name by rocking out slowed pop songs about parties and creepos and 40s and Doritos. Their first 7" record, "Crystal Necklace"/"Video Store Rental Guy", is now available on Impose Records. Also Tucker usually ends up playing a guitar solo behind his head so check these dudes OUT.
Total Slacker - Creepos
Total Slacker - Crystal Necklace (7" version)
Total Slacker - Crystal Necklace (Demo)
Total Slacker - Stuck in 93
Total Slacker - Hangin' Tough (New Kids On the Block cover)

GREATEST HITS
Greatest Hits (Tyler Thacker + Zak Mering a.k.a. Raw Thrills) will perform live with Luke Perry a.k.a. Axl a.k.a. Screech and the Medium Fries, bringing their jubilant dance-y pop jams to life. "Danse Pop" is some serious dancefloor grinding material, which isn't to discount the other three tracks on their OESB 7" cos they're all serious, radical slices of euphoria. Watch out for a guest mix from these dudes sometime before the end of the week and if you seriously can't wait, check out the one they made for Rose Quartz RIGHT HERE.

TONSTARTSSBANDHT
Tonstartssbandht is two brothers, Edwin + Andy, who throttled out some raging psych mess when I caught em playing this past Sunday at Glasslands. Maybe it was the pentagram carved into Andy's back. Maybe it was the end of a long weekend of playing shows with the forever-rad Cool World. Maybe it was all the Four Loko. Either way, the dudes churn out some heavy meshing of pop music on their tapes/CDRs and burn through sweaty riffs in their live sets. Check out these videos below from Denton last Summer of the dudes playing with Mike from Run DMT. Killer shit. They also have a label called DŒS ARE. Check it OUT.

WOODSMAN
Woodsman had played with two drummers every time I saw them until last Saturday, and while the double pounding really was special, it didn't really take away from the show when they were backed by a single kit. The dudes still ripped two huge stretches of psychedelic guitar, which I assume is what they'll do in their opening slot Tuesday. P.C. Worship couldn't make it, so we asked Woodsman to jump on last minute and they were kind enough to do so EVEN THOUGH they're playing another show later that night. Sweet dudes.

Woodsman - Chants
