It'll be like watching a circle jerk with your pants down.

Liars, Interpol and Deerhunter are doing a joint thing on Thursday. Not just Liars. Not just Interpol. And not just Deerhunter. Think of it as The Lying Deerpols in concert, this Thursday, at the Empty Bottle for 10 measly dollars (12 if you buy on Ticketweb). If you hate this idea, don't come. If you find it mildly interesting, it might be worth it. If you like at least 2 of these bands, it would probably be worth it.

Waitaminute, are you trying to insinuate that I like Interpol or something?

Oooh Oooooh I got dibs on the guy on the left.

He looks the funniest.

Well, call me olde fashioned - but I think it's just bad manners if you don't drop your pants while watching a circle jerk.

tonight is the night to go, I swear...

If you guys are just ok with going and supporting the band of the man who killed Lincoln then by all means have fun

they were ok.

however, the purpose of this story is to point out that the Prodigal Son had an amazing assortment of Grilled Cheese sandwiches, and i miss it very much.

Second guy in from the left. Thats how I dress for work. Minus the jacket.

There's being a generally unpleasant cockbag, and there's knowingly putting people's lives in danger because you want to make a little bit more money. JHC, I'm from the other side of the world and I can say fuck the Empty Bottle.

Justify it to yourself any way you want, but there are lots of nice venues to see bands in Chicago, right? I don't see any reason to patronise this shithead's "joint."

Then again, if you're the kind of person who desperately wants to see Interpol and Liars, I suppose you're fucked anyway. Enjoy the gig! And the beer! Give that guy ten dollars on your way out for good measure.

Deerhunter got a request to open up for Yo La Tengo tomorrow night, so it's just going to be Liars and Interpol at the Bottle.

Apparently, Bradford is doing the Yo La Tengo show solo with no plan or any songs in mind. I wonder if he can pull it off.
