TONIGHT’S RECESSION THURSDAY SHOW CANCELLED

August 21st, 2008 · 4 Comments

We just got a note on the DL that tonight’s Free Press Recession Thursday Show at Numbers has been canceled due to “one band calling in sick and another one breaking up.”  Bummer.  Double bummer because Something Fierce was going to play their set in the tiny upstairs room, which is MAYHEM like MILES.  We don’t know which is which as far as bands who got sick, but we do know that Television Skies split like bananas (the other bands on the lineup were Generation Landslide and Alkari).  So, if you were going out there tonight to catch one of Alkari’s fairly rare shows, you’ll have to wait until October 10th when they share the stage with Hearts of Animals and Orents Striner at Rudyards.  Barring further Illness (ATTN PAOULA: time for an Illness reunion show) or breakups, Recession Thursday’s will continue next week.  Peep the poster:

    The Illnesses reunion? Step 1: Locate Bob. Err.. Matthew. He’s changed his name and fallen off the face of the earth. A little ADR fact, He got in a shoving match with the lead singer of the Illnesses (bob) at a Rapture show about 6 years ago. What a great night!

    Judging by the thunder and lightning on the SW side, it may have been a tough sell tonight anyway. Thanks for the plug regarding our October show. Yes, that will do it for us in 2008 unless we nail down a Halloween gig (anyone???).
