Oh the places that you'll go to find someone that you know;
First off, I am preparing to embark on what could be a landmark for me. On Thursday after work, I'm planning to go check out my friends The New Dress, along with Attica Attica (ex-Marathon), Jena Berlin, and Polar Bear Club. It'll be my 6th time seeing The New Dress.
Before them, the most time I've seen any band was 3, 4 at the most. However, I have discovered my mission in life, and it is to see this blatant-but-proud Billy Bragg-copying duo as much as humanly possible and pimp them out whenever possible, to whatever chump will listen. Are you a chump? If so, look up and listen to The New Dress. They're not a loose collective of art-school dropouts who all sleep with each other and make "music" with some salvaged Fisher-Price keyboards, but nor are they muscle-bound 80's washouts who were down with someone who was down with a cousin of the original bassist for Born Against.
In a somewhat related side-story, I'm very close to perfecting my formula of alcohol consumption to singing abilities. Once I got that down, I'll be distributing the basic aspects of the formula for all to see. After all, when the PA dies, you don't want your voice to be the shitty cracked one sticking out from amongst the sweaty man-masses up front, right? GOTTA HAVE SOME TONE, YO!
