with weeks like these

sd: dialed in has the massive listings for this week, but since matt called me yesterday as i was in the frozen aisle of vons (ben n jerry's Neopolitan Dynamite is like Half Baked 2.awesome), i figured i'd post the ones i had picked out, and make the claim that this is a highly Modlin-recommended week.

wed 7/9 : Exfriends CD Release @ the Belly Up w/ Escalera, Stripes and Lines
thur 7/10 : by now you should be able to be in two places at once (sidenote, not sure if that sounds more like an album name, or a shoegaze-y band) : Sayvinyl / Swedish Models (cd release) / sideproject from Apes of Wrath @ the Beauty Bar, and Calico Horse / Silverbird / Japanese Sunday / The Focus Group - fundraiser for Demetrius Antuna @ the Casbah
fri 7/11 : Vision of a Dying World / Scarlet Symphony / Thin Man @ casbah
sat 7/12 : maybe not 4 out of 4 modlin recommended, but hey, i'll be there: Stay Classy tailgate gets you into the padres game as well. gotta do what you gotta do.
sun 7/13 : Red Pony Clock / The Donkeys / Shearwater @ the casbah
mon 7/14 : Joanie Mendenhall CD Release anti monday league + The Fascination, The Feeling's Mutual, The Valley Arena @ the casbah
tues 7/15 : The Modlins @ Cafe La Maze . word.
wed 7/16 : Frantic Romantic + more @ u31 ?

grand total : 8 days, 8 concerts. as eric said last practice, maybe we can just get some sort of week-long pass for the casbah...

a hard rain's gonna fall

well ... our practice space flooded.

again.

we rent a monthly space and we've been having to move our stuff back and forth because they had to strip out bottom parts of the wall, replace carpet. lots of delays. and now it was finally all back in place after approx 1 month, and we finally got to leave our stuff in the practice space after our U31 show, and damn flooded again. so, i think it's gonna be time to relocate soon. hopefully our gear is okay.

as for news, check out the latest issue of Performer Magazine, the west coast edition. There's a review of our CD release show at the silverlake lounge with swim party, eux autres and the fresas. it's not online yet, when it is, i'll provide a link.

as for saturday night, what a party. Roman Spring and Swim Party killed it at the ken. we caught about half of the focus group's set which was good too. looking forward to this spring, that's all i have to say.

thanks ... and if you were me ...

thanks everyone for coming out last night. man, what a blast. U-31 might start to become a staple to play at (and thank you marshall for excellent sound as always) ....

if you were me .... you'd be at the ken club this saturday for Swim Party and Roman Spring. sure to be a killer show .... and if things wrap up early enough, the ken theatre next door is gonna be showing "A Hard Day's Night" at midnight .... too awesome? i know...

p.s. be on the lookout for the first modlins music video next month .....

radio play - fm 94/4

if you weren't smart enough to be listening to the best local show in SD (and probably california [okay, probably the country]), on the local 94/9 on sunday, tim played "we're not quite through" off our new record With Friends Like These.

i know, you're bummed. thankfully we're also the member of the day today on 94/9, meaning around tonight "warm up (or say goodbye)" will be hitting the airwaves. i think they should be playing it around 9pm, but we all know the time doesn't matter cuase you have your radio turned to 94/9 all the time.

we've got an upcoming show at U31 on the 30th with Anna Troy. don't miss it. it's gonna be legendary.

UPDATE: here's the flyer!!!!
