tomorrow : cafe la maze : 103 vs 98

i wish i had some fancy flier to post, but i am swamped elsewhere, so this is it for now. maybe we can throw together a very modlins photoshoot (whatever that means) in between sets tomorrow night at cafe la maze. which is a great segue for me to talk about that : tomorrow night : modlins : cafe la maze. i don't even have time to do more than repost how solid the place is, but what i can do is give a little glimpse of what goes on in the land of daily modlin email chains...

stoph commented that he counted up our shows, and the Chasers' show was our 100th show. being the way i am, i had to go count for myself, and pointed out that, while Chasers' is indeed the 100th show posted there, The Modlins were not the 4 piece we are today until i joined up with the other 3 at the Whistlestop 05/15/05 show. so while tomorrow is the 103rd show Matt & Eric have played together, it is only our 98th show as the four Modlins, making the Casbah Anti-Monday League awesomeness at the end of July our 99th, and leaving Show #100 TBD, most likely sometime in August. maybe a birthday present to me? who knows.

Plan B!!!

friday's show has been dubbed "Plan B" by CityBeat, so unless you're seeing the French Kicks at the Casbah, you have no excuse not coming out:

PLAN B: The Apple Miner Colony, The Modlins @ Chasers. It’s never really a good idea to have 20-plus members in a band, let alone a band that plays self-described “friend rock.” But, at least in the case of AMC, it sure is entertaining.

okay, sure they have the old touring act listed (sorry Apple Miner Colony, we really want you guys to come through, we'll hook something up at the Che next time, we didn't know!!!) but Mount Righteous treks some similar musical territory as Apple Miner Colony and though they are a 20+, Mt. Righteous is a 14+, and they didn't list Red Pony Clock who is what, a 11+ peice, so we're talking a full 5+ more!!!

so come on out, for a full night of pop goodness!!! need the details? look down two posts or just click here.

Friday!!! Chaser's w/ Red Pony Clock and Mount Righteous (TX)!!!

Extra Extra!!~!

This Friday, may 23rd, the Modlins take to the Chasers stage with the great Red Pony Clock (you may have heard of them) and Mount Righteous, from Texas, who appear to be getting a bit of blog love lately as well. They remind me of Red Pony Clock if they started to head in the Polyphonic Spree direction ... it's good stuff. in short, come to this show, starts around 9pm ... goes until our hearts can beat no more.

if you were me

you'd be headed to chaser's tonight to check out Writer (who i missed last week) and Birds and Batteries (who played with Swim Party a month or so ago, and i missed also) ..... i also have yet to check out chasers (read: "the new Scolari's") so i'm interested to see how things are shaping up around there.

and of course, if you were me, you'd be heading out to the Beauty Bar tomorrow night as it's Apes of Wrath's CD release show (these guys are good) and us and music for animals are opening. we go on at 10pm. be there or be a loser. actually, even if you're a loser, you should come. we don't mind.
