515 Crew

look, i know kyle and the hb and everything and i love to support it (i realize i don't go there all the time or get to hang out as much as i would like to) but remember theta beta potata? these houses can get shut down. you guys need to learn that you can 'fuck shit up' to anything. The FSU house w...

this thread, as childish as it is, really breaks my heart. grow the fuck up and go to shows to support bands, community, your scene, but do not complain unless it's constructive criticism in this case. i am not taking this personally, mind you, but jesus christ you people. we are trying to book show...

I am going to do everything I can to push forward with all ages legislation in the area, but it's this sort of divisive attitude that I can't tolerate, as I find it to be anti-DIY. I never seek to be exclusionary. I plan on working with Rock Iowa and DSM Music Coalition on this. Sound, venue, all ag...

Huh? I had fun. Great show. Totally agree with TJ. I wish it would have been earlier and all ages but we'll work on that next time. Building Better Bombs didn't even leave MPLS until 7 PM anyhow. It's a Friday night, deal with it. Time to go out for Girl Talk and do it all again, but 5 PM load in me...

oh man i was wastered this morning. note to self: have a beer or two. not that, then whiskey. thanks for braving the weather to those who came out! it actually went pretty well, or as well as i could have hoped. the shivers should be fun, too, and hopefully there'll be more good gigs this year. goin...

this shit is technically just TWO DAYS AWAY MUFFUCKAZ

printing/distributing flyers today. five days before the show. in full transparency. age of internet promotion. may joe strike me down if i am wrong, i am hoping people know about this farking show. though in all fairness, i distributed flyers to sir tj wood of 515/MPLS fame for the mews/best place ...

did this happen?

i hope you didn't die, before you go to korea and have other chances to, y'know, die.

the last tree and parplar were great recordings! she is undeniably batshit loony and i don't know if i'd let her crash at my place, but i will TOTALLY fucking be at this show, as she's a musical genius!

anybody wanna help invite/manage for this?

posting from shows = lame

2009 TIME TO SHINE. happy new year. anyhoozle, remember how i don't have any days off but still manage to have time to post on the internets? i could just explain that i work at , but actually i move into my new apartment in wdm on this day. YAY. anyhow, very cool for me. this show will destroy. me...

http://web.me.com/jbrizzi/bbb.jpg i love joe! i mean, come on, what's not to like? also, big thanks to kristy for making the flyer. i am SUPER busy. she says ISU is the best place to get flyers printed, but does anyone know the protocol or where i could get good prints in des moines? been working 1...

SUNSHINE VIPER (http://www.myspace.com/sunshineviper) is the 4th band and will play first. Show is 9:30 PM, $6.

Anybody have Kristy's contact info? I wanted to see if she'd be able to do a gig flyer, as I don't really have days off until this show!

i should have put meneguar in there. i wasn't as confident about #5-10, but i love them all. meneguar was solid. was also thinking of several friends' bands that didn't make the list that i felt crap about this morning, but i wrote that in the middle of the night. i've been finding great stuff onlin...

POST 'EM. films: 1 the spirit (frank miller/will eisner) 2 synechdoche, ny (charlie kaufman) 3 the fall (shot 2006, tarsem) 4 milk (gus van sant) 5 religulous (larry charles, bill maher) 6 mister lonely (harmony korine) 7 encounters at the end of the world (werner herzog) 8 frost/nixon (ron howard) ...

i don't think standing in another room or in the back of the house qualifies as actually seeing the band, joe. there are benefits to the show being at an actual venue, and i realize it sucks to do a show for a punk band like building better bombs that's not all ages, but the band was in on the decis...

i guess i just don't understand the interrogation. the bands are stoked, the show got too big for a house, kids who wouldn't come to the house will come to this and if the opposite is true then i feel shitty, but it seems to me that most kids coming to HB are over 21. i am being guided and assisted ...

yeah so far this is confirmed: BUILDING BETTER BOMBS THE TANKS MONSTRO and still gotta talk with dan davis regarding WEATHER IS HAPPENING or some dan davis related jawn. they are close friends of BBB and so i suspect some double d related jawn will perform, and dj richie daggers, should be a fun nig...

seriously, how many bands are on this thing?!

totally richie! bbb might be bringing one more, so we'll see how this firms up, we want a 3 band bill but we could probably do 4 and keep the party rolling, i just don't like shows that go until close this late in the winter, though it's saturday.... weather IS happening, anyway and anyhow you guys :P

for all effects and purposes, no. :( my ex breanne (really cool illustrator) moved in with her bf larrison and they are homebodies, like to be in bed by 9. i will shoot her an email sometime about doing a show, but i went to grinnell last night with james finch and thomas who just moved up there, an...

sorry joe, didn't mean to harsh your mellow. :P love you and miss you, duder. i will help iowa city too, i think i'm getting the owner of the lift/vaudeville more in touch with jacki who owns picador which is good cuz i can't imagine the house show scene in iowa city is much of your bag. :P i slept ...

sorry, was late and couldn't sleep. let me provide some context. i have booked shows since i was sixteen (did a bunch at botan/marys and mostly at the picador), but since i've returned from austin, tx, i have only done shows in ames, and since my ex moved into the practice space and she's a bit of a...

Doors at 9:30, Show at 10 hopefully Monstro plays and I just asked the Tanks, but we really wanna keep it a three band bill and fucking cheap ass Fugazi style punk rock ticket pricing. This will be awesome, dudes. I've been back for two years and I'm doing two shows in two months. I am building the ...

ahaha if this is about my post where i transcribed what i wrote as a 16 year old that's pretty funny. i still write in my lj, but twitter/facebook is sort of the new shit for promotion. i am starting to book shows in des moines again, dude, hopefully at the mews with the help of my friends and some ...

if it's fun, i'm doing it. this show is a sure thing, date to be confirmed this weekend when the band hammers out its january plans. i would love to have monstro play and will get you guys the date ASAP so you can take off for work, any other great ideas for openers who would draw kids who wouldn't ...

Who would come see this shit? Who can help me promote/flyer/street team for this and other sick upcoming shows I would like to do at HB? Who should open? I'm thinkin' Monstro, but I need help on who's gonna help flyer and draw out kids from the woodwork the best, and who's gonna bring the fucking ro...
