sun city girls
played Louisville for the 1st time about 1yr 1/2 ago loved them
there films are pretty interesting as well
not crap!

One of my biggest regrets in leaving Seattle for Chicago was the Sun City Girls. I loved being able to see them once or twice a year. They played in Chicago not long ago, and they played a real straight-forward set - lots of hits, and the eerily middle-aged-men crowd was all into it, singing along. It was a great show. But in Seattle they would play with shadow puppets, and play Pink Floyd songs, and Eyvind Kang played violin on Space Prophet Dogon, and all these crazy things happened. I always felt blessed because they'd moved to the town I lived in, and I wish they would move to Chicago.

I lived in Arizona during a time when, had one been so inclined, one could have seen them play about 75 times a year.

I was almost so inclined.

The most influential band on me of all bands.

My three ghost uncles. My friends.

I will carry them with me every single day that I spend above ground.

Anyone check out any them weird ass Carnival Folklore Resurrection records?

Some of them are the best records I own.

Some just don't do it for me.

I love me those Bishop boys.

I really, really wanted to come up for that show, but I just couldn't do it. I'd really like to see that band now that I am (somewhat) equipped to appreciate them. I saw them open for JFA at the Jockey Club in 1984, and I had no idea what I was seeing. Still, I liked how badly they fucked with the hardcore orthodoxy in attendance--even if I myself, at the time, fell closer to the latter than the former.

SCG are touring the U.S. this year. [EDIT- They aren't.]

tell them to play marquette, michigan for me please.

Spoot and I were brothers. I just realized this.
