BRB, flailing

[asimplechord]

I had stuff to say about last night's show at the House of Blues, and how awesome (and hot) Tim Lopez growing into a bigger role on-stage is, but that was superceded by a cursory examination of the SXSW artist list.

DISCOS at SXSW. No details about day or venue yet, but.

:D :D :D :D

arielchan and I discussed this possibility a while back, and now it is happening, and OMG, GIMME THAT ALBUM AND THAT STEAMPUNK AESTHETIC AND TOUR DATES SO THE FANGIRL ROADTRIPS MAY BEGIN!



ETA: While I'm thinking about it! Help Stamps get to SXSW. If you don't know them, they are Robert Morris (formerly of the Hush Sound), Ren Patrick, and Adam James. (Also, Ian Crawford played guitar on their first EP, but has since parted ways (to tour with the Discos).)

ETA2: (17Feb2011) Discos' entry on the schedule has vanished, and the link is dead. D: D: D:

I WANT DISCOS, UGH, OMG!!!!

(lol, my phone is blowing up now, haha)

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

My face right now: :DDDDD

(If I had had my phone off for the Linkin Park show and turned it back on, I'd come back to ten bajillion tweets and be very sad I missed the flailing.)

FLAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

RIGHT? I CANNOT STOP SMILING. And wanting to tell EVERYONE. Even if they don't care about Discos, I CARE AND THEY SHOULD BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS, DAMMIT!

[catchmelike.livejournal.com]

lolol I ran in the other room to tell my parents and my dad was like JFC SHIRLEY CALM DOWN. i was like BUT DAD. DISCOS.

I KNEW IT!!! I KNEEEEEWWWWWW ITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!


It was way too close to the album release date (especially now) for them to pass up that kind of exposure. And I'm going to have a badge! \\\\\\o//////

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

RIGHT? :D :D :D

[catchmelike.livejournal.com]

lol i can't remotely afford a badge so i'll just go and hope that i can get into wherever without one. /o\

Last year the showcase that was supposed to be badge-only that included PStump and TYV? We got in w/ no problem. There was a cover, but it was $10 or $20. I'm hoping that they'll do a free show, too, though. :D

[catchmelike.livejournal.com]

yeah, that's what verdie told me. i'm hoping that it'll be the same with them. if nothing else it's finally a chance to see all of you guys again and hang.

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

Hangtimes at Shonna's on the 5th of March? Or do you have to work? :(

[catchmelike.livejournal.com]

I don't know yet! I was going to try and either get that day off or just work a mid (i'll get off by around 5?). I can talk to them tomorrow. I NEVER ask for any time off so I hope that it won't be a big deal.

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

You know how we are: we'll probably just get Chinese and hang out for hours talking and watching random DVDs, so if you can come to any of it, that'll be cool. IT'S BEEN TOO LONG!

[katieupsidedown.livejournal.com]

Yeah last year was Travie, TYV, PStump, oh and also HOLE's first show in 10 years. We got there an hour early and all got in for $20 and were on barrier.

But I might buy a wristband just in cases.

[sunn-doyouknow.livejournal.com]

d00d, there is no way I could afford a badge! They're like a thousand bucks at this point! But I'm volunteering at SXSW Interactive for the first 5 days of the festival, and in return, I get a free badge! :D

Also, IDK if this is even possible, but maybe there can be a +1 type situation? :D?

[junebug-waltz.livejournal.com]

lol not a chance in hell, bb

You going to SXSW? Cause I live in Austin! :)

Well, actually, I'm heading back to SA to see Porugal, The Man on the 15th, but a band I really love is going to be playing a showcase/a bunch of parties here in Austin from the 16th to like... I think the 18th? So once I get details about what I can go to (So sad I couldn't volunteer, but even sadder that I don't have a badge.), I'm going to stick around Austin. Maybe I'll see you!

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

That is my plan! IDK, the Discos' entry on the schedule has vanished, but I'm still planning on going. I'll also be in town in April to see Rise Against, since they are not coming to Houston on this tour. :D

[galaxyaway.livejournal.com]

OH! I'm going to the Rise Against show!

[galaxyaway.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't happen to be going to see MCR in Houston are you?
