Hey y’all. I know I haven’t been on here in like literally years and this may or may not be your thing at all, but I’m playing a show in Chicago tomorrow with a bunch of other noise/experimental acts if anybody wants to come kick it. I’m jaded Evil Lambs if you don’t remember/don’t know me. Unfortunately, my buddy Ali Naeini has the flu and had to cancel, be sure to look him up on youtube, he’s phenomenal, plays the Persian Santoor (hammered dulcimer), he was definitely the odd duck out on this show, but whenever I book him with noise guys the crowd just eats him up. Ah, well. This lineup is fire, come on out.
Jaded Evil Lambs
Drew Gowran
Mykel Boyd + City of Djinn
Swim Ignorant Fire
Instinct Control
doors at 8:30 show at 9, at Tritriangle
I’ve already forgotten how to post pictures on this damn forum lol, so if you want to see the flyer:
Glad you are doing well. Last i remember your place got broken into and you lost a bunch of stuff. Maybe youll stick around again… although I don’t blame you if you didn’t this place is a ghost town lately. Good luck with yer show.
God fuckin damn son, and I check back in when you’ve already left. I would’ve went. How was it?! What do you think of lovely Chitown?
Also, will you come back? I seriously feel Tomasz should come back.
I had a great time in Chicago, but didn’t get to stay long- we pulled into town around 5 PM, dropped our gear, went to find our hostel, then grabbed some empanadas around the corner from the venue at 5411 Empanadas, played the show, crashed out, got up in the morning, tried to stop in at Andy’s Music (my Chicago ritual) but they were closed, then bounced out of town so my tour mate could take possession of his new practice space here in STL. Did take a detour to Champaign on the way home to check out a tropical fish store, lol. Drove 80 mph on country highways in thick ass zombie fog the whole day it was nuts.
I’ve been up there a few times for shows, saw Jesus Lizard on NYE '09, SWANS on the 1st reunion tour, Retrospectacle, and a Blane fonda CD release a while back. I like Chicago a lot but I couldn’t live there I don’t think. I’ll let you know when I make it back. Tritriangle is a fantastic little DIY noise apartment venue, highly recommend getting on their mailing list if you’re into that kind of thing.
I think I’m going to stick around here, but probably infrequently. I got a promotion at my day job so life is super hectic for me. Plus my wife is now disabled (suddenly developed epilepsy, looking back we think she’s had low-key symptoms her whole life but just started having the big grand mal seizures a couple years ago) so she can’t walk or drive so I also tend bar three nights a week at the Way Out Club (where I have been booking shows on and off since 2003 and have a monthly noise show for the last couple years) and have to take on more of the housework as well so I rarely have time to sleep let alone chat online.
Otherwise let’s see what’s up with me? Had another round of police shooting protests last fall, was pretty nuts and intense, but really kind of old hat after the old days in Ferguson. Um… Music stuff is going well, haven’t had much time to work on the Paradoxal Pterodactyl podcast, but hope to soon. My Jaded Evil Lambs project has been going well but I never have enough time to record like I should, have like three different releases in the works for ages now. Oh and our dog turned 18 this month, pretty damn old for a border collie/gordon setter mix. My wife is going to fall apart when he finally passes. Still have a lot of fish tanks. Same old shit really.
