If You Were Me (Early Friday Edition)

so this friday is gonna be jam-packed, and i think you can make it to three (count it THREE!) amazing shows in one night, if you've had enough caffeine. First up, The Modlins at KSDT Studios on UCSD campus. we're playing a free all ages set at KSDT to support our appearance at UCSD's SunGod the following week. Why not catch us early in a far more intimate environment? that's from 8-9pm ..... after our set wraps up, don't bother helping us with our gear. there's no time! you gotta jet off (assuming you're 21+) to the Whistlestop to catch our arch-nemesis's The Frantic Romantic kick off their set, approx 9:30ish, and following them is the massive pop outfit Red Pony Clock (whom we will be playing with later in May at Chasers, don't miss it!).

"but eric, how are we going to make it to a third show if we're already at the whistlestop?"

oh well, i'm glad you asked that ... see whistlestop shows are notorious for ending pretty early. Sam's a cool guy and doesn't want to ruffle the feathers of the neighbors, so that show's gonna wrap up by midnight, maybe sooner .... on the other hand, the Ken Club is notorious for running late. the earliest i've seen a friday ken club show start is 10:30.... so i'm guessing you might only miss Thin Man (or Wild Weekend, depending on who's playing first, i've heard good things of both), but you're almost guaranteed to make it in time for part of one of their sets and the entirety of Grand Ole Party's set. there's really no need to go into detail of the musical juggernaut that Grand Ole Party has become (coachella anyone?), so we'll just hope that the room isn't too packed. worst case scenario, head to the bar side and share a drink with rosey. not sure if they'll be charging for this show (i wouldn't be surprised), but since the first two are free, it's like 3 shows for the price of one (or none, depending)

so that's right, get your beauty rest on Thursday, it's gonna be a long night.
