went to see Jay Reatard tonight in Toronto, he punched some poor kid in the face for landing on stage after crowd surfing and then walked off stage never to return after 2 songs because somebody threw a plastic jug onstage. Turd.
On the plus side the support band CPC Gangbangs were fucking immense, check them out.
i'd have punched him back
and been all "SEVEN INCH VINLOL!"
IF YOU CANT TAKE THE HEAT
GET OUT THE PIT
OR SOMETHING
haha
rock and roll!!!
i really, really want to see him live more than ever now after hearing about how mental he is.
Wow
he's playing Music is My Boyfriend next month. EXCITED.
no shit? what date?
16th
ATP :(
NOOOO
yeh he's playing about 7 times in london and i'm going to miss just about all of them due to work.

ticket bought :D
oh ffs
night before my last exam. i hate May.
dude
if you're not revised up by then you never will be! bands finish by 10:30 and jay is supporting so you wont get home too late. it'll be a good tension reliever. unless he punches your face.
hahaha
or kicks me in the chest...you're right actually. i want to see a place to bury strangers too though really, but yes i'm putting it in my diary RIGHT NOW.
^bad influence
he is pretty awesome live though, hmmm.
shit
that's my only gigless day between May 7th - 17th! Oh well. 10 in a row it is.

Is this guy any good?
*toddles off to listen*
I'll probs be at the 17th.
I'd like to see the CPC Gangbangs
I have the 7" they did on Die Slaughterhaus which is so so, but I imagine they'd kill it live.
I'd quite like to see him
Anyone advise on the best place on his above dates?
go for the white heat date
its with a place to bury strangers and its £5. and the instore, cos its free.
Bardens Boudoir
on the 14th. He is playing with Times New Vyking.
Being in the front row at atp should be interesting
his violence, black lips' urination then hopefully be finished off with some molestation from Tim Harrington.
Bring it on!!!
it was simelar to this

except less kicking and more punching
Best Laid Plans
He's playing free at Proud Galleries on Sunday 18th + loads of other bands and Justin Robertson djing too, check it out www.myspace.com/bestlaidplanslondon
Gonna check out the in-store
Fits in perfectly with Iron and Wine and Bon Iver at the Forum.
This guy is
without a doubt, very savvy - he's making a habit of this violence-at-shows-unpredictability thing lately which just makes people even more curious to see him live and check him out. It's been happening with such regularity lately that you can't help but be a bit suspicious - he must know threads like this crop up on messageboards and blogs after it's happened.
the punch in toronto you speak of?

retard
hmm
i know of two events. toronto and one more. he's been around for years, it's not like he's just started being violent for press. he's just getting more attention due to the music and so that stuff gets reported.
He's good and everything
but there's been way more incidents than just those two over the past couple of years. I really doubt he's oblivious to all the fuss it makes online when he throws a wobbly and kicks someone in the face/whatever.
to be honest
i doubt he's that bothered.
you dont seem to consider the fact that
he might just be an angry person/cunt.
