I'm worried that they might get rusty before their long European tour. It might be a good idea if they played something local for practice. Since they'll be playing in front of strangers in Europe, it shouldn't be a rehearsal type show in front of a handful of friends. They need to get a feel for playing in front of people who paid good money to get in (or those smart enough to call ahead and ask how to sneak in).

Since I'll be gone the Fourth of July weekend and their tour starts the following week, that leaves the next three weekends.

If by local, you mean philly, I'm all for it any of those weekends.

Anything that doesn't require me to get on a plane is "local". Advanced tickets are always a good thing.

Howzabout we settle for one show someplace close by, small enough to be fun but big enough to not sell out before everyone on this board (where it will be announced first) has a chance to get a ten dollar ticket.

Again, this is a rehearsal for a headlining tour. They'll need to play every song they're planning on playing so opening for another band isn't an option.

With Death First and Whack. That'd be a killer show.

We need an NYC show this summer, we got gipped last year. I had my heart set on seeing them one more time in Toronto before several months of Inferno-less-ness, but I did the math and I just can't afford the trip.

I think part of what drew me into this little subculture is that when I was first getting into the band, there was always a show coming up. I usually couldn't turn a page on my calendar without an Inferno show being pencilled in, and I had no reason not to go. I became an Infernite without noticing or trying. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like the band's hometown popularity is waning due to their extended absences.

Now that the band only graces NYC with their presence for Hallowmas and one other date, I wonder how many potential fans aren't getting drawn in the same way. Halloween is the type of night when there's always a million things to do- unless you're definitely already into Inferno, why would you go? Your friends are probably having parties, or you've been invited to a club night, or you're going to see a band play the entirety of "Ziggy Stardust" in costume. I'd bet that's also why the Music Hall of Williamsburg show didn't sell out when it should have- older fans are losing interest due to lack of live events, and newer fans just aren't replacing them.

But yeah, in summary, I want to see this band live more often without having to hitch rides beyond the reaches of the MTA.

Hrm. I dunno. Comparing the Music Hall show with the Webster Hall show, or even Bowery last year... modest crowd vs massive crowds, Im not sure if its waning or if it just comes out at different times/places. Think the age restriction at the Music Hall affected it? Or it being a Sunday instead of a Friday?

Theories aside... definately make this happen. I'll criticize the shit out of it, make sure they're in top form for Europe.

Make a fast deal with the local elite, then substitute cash-crops where once grew wheat. Build a cycle of dependence on a starvation-diet. With food as a weapon, workers stay quiet. And multinational names have blood on their brands from taking an interest in misused lands.

someone let me know if this happens, I'm doubting they'll play around here until Hallowmas though.

also, if a show does occur, there better be stage dives, headwalks, fake blood and lots of mischief.

I fucking hate the fake blood. I wear the same clothes to shows as I wear, day in day out, to work, and my parents aren't going to buy me new clothing if you boys get your period blood all over it. And if I have to spend money replacing my clothing, that means less money for drugs and alcohol. Which means I'll be sober and angry, and more likely to give you indian burns for wrecking my clothes the next time.

All in all, it's a vicious cycle that will only result in real blood being spilt.

Up the fake blood.

Easily one of my favorite aspects of an Inferno show.
