Us Again? But We Weren’t Invited!

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

Your SAK correspondent saw that this was moved today (in fact, he was alerted by the variety of oracles that keep him abreast of all matters Awesome Vistas related) but even his mid-notch reporting couldn’t bring this to you faster than an on-the-ball commenter simply known as Thomas. And now it’s called the Us Again Festival. Fine, whatever. Can Thee Oh Sees please play now?

Awesome Vistas Festival Info Revealed

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Your SAK correspondent, after some serious private investigatory sleuthing (he sent a MySpace message to Flower Of Flesh And Blood, just like Sam Spade would have) has totally blown the lid off this Awesome Vistas Festival deal:

It goes down this Saturday, the 27th, at The Yard (even though they don’t list it on their site, this has been confirmed by multiple sources) in Brooklyn’s Gowanus ‘hood, goes from approximately 3pm to 10pm, and is, like, totally fucking FREE!

Sean from FOFAB further had this to say: “The bands are Thee Oh Sees, The Enablers, Flower of Flesh and Blood, The Sic Alps, Lone Wolf, and three others I can’t remember (sorry).”

There is currently a 90% chance of rain for Saturday. Goddamnit.

Team Robespierre (Predictably) Book Another Show With Ninjasonik

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

You SAK Correspondent uses “spazz” as a hyphenate adjective pretty regularly, as there seems to be an entire indie subgenre (see Matt and Kim) that it accurately describes. And so: Team Robespierre have a show this Sunday, the 31st, with sonikfuckingnihilists Ninjasonik on the roof of OfficeOps. Bikes In The Kitchen (who else?) says it’s happening at 3 PM, whereas no one else cares enough to list what is, presumably, the right time, and there’s no word as to whether or not it is free.

The Team also list a hometown Brooklyn gig on September 27th as the “best show of all time with 8 bands,” which may or may not be the already-mentioned Awesome Vistas Festival (although your SAK correspondent somewhat hopes it isn’t, so he can enjoy Thee Oh Sees in [relative] peace).

What The Fuck Is The Awesome Vistas Festival?

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Throw quotation marks around the multi-word noun in question, like your SAK Correspondent did, and plug it in to Google, and, as of this writing, you’ll see exactly nine search results. What is known is that said festival will be bringing the San Francisco one-two-crunch of Thee Oh Sees and Sic Alps to New York City on Saturday, September 27th. What isn’t known: where it is, or, what it is exactly. It’s a pretty serious bet that it will rock, though.
