Not really 80's punk rock, but the loudest show I have ever seen. I think half of my hearing problems were caused by the handful of shows I opened for them...Dinosaur Jr, 1989, the Lung

Oh, holy mother. Talk about hero worship. The best/most famous band I ever opened for was freaking Everclear. Ha!

they were pretty damn big. I opened for them once right before they got gi-nourmous, and I never met Art. He just kind of hid out in the back till it was time for him to go on. I think this must have been when World of Noise was out. Brilliant album right there

Sometimes, I look back, and I wonder how anyone between 1989 and 1994 actually saw anything.

I've seen Dino Jr in various incarnations over the years, not including J Mascis solo shows (the one in Dallas at the Gypsy Tea Room with Watt on bass was especially memorable if for no other reason that the am for the drum monitors caught on fire, and the Black Eyed Peas, pre-megafame, were playing the ballroom next door and the power draw was causing brownouts in the smaller room, with J eventually walking off and leaving Watt to apologize and do some spoken word spiel about touring, which ended up being pretty cool regardless). Anyway, one of my favorite and proof you can have a viable second act if you still have the songs. The new records are great!

This was 3 years ago...

But yeah, all the hardcore/pre-emo kids who were in Shudder to Think and D-Plan loved World of Noise.

well before "Feel the Pain" made them big-ish. There were alot of Massachusetts bands we opened up for back in the days. Letters to Cleo, Lemonheads, Morphine, Bosstones etc

You said Chairman Kaga and I thought of this!....somehow not even close to the same thing...i don't suspect this is what you were talking about.

oh totally. Glad Murph and Lou got it all back together. Beyond is a great record from 07, Farm, all of it. J and the Fog wasnt bad at all. He just brings it. In the town I live in J actually put the banhammer down in like 92. Showed up to play a show, was told they booked a bigger band to headline so he could open up or go home. He went down the street to a random bar with a stage and played a great loud as all get out set, told the crowd to enjoy it cause he wasnt coming back. It took him 15 years to get over it

haha I read this when it was out. That really brings me back to the old school. Have you listened to MBV's new album? I keep meaning to check it out but hasnt happened yet

Chairman Kaga > 505Turbeaux 01/13/2014 at 12:56

Nope. Sad, huh? It came out right as our second baby was coming and I just never caught up. I do hear it's legitimately good. I caught them live about 3 years ago. It was like standing in a warehouse with a Saturn V launching... for two hours straight.

Hey, do you have any of your stuff on Band Camp or SoundCloud? Most of my punk rawk bands never got recorded. I need to track down my old bandmates and find some of those shows. We opened for lots of bands in the late 90s when they came thru Arkansas. Less Than Jake, Hot Water Music, even Fugazi (with about 20 other local bands). That was a solid scene. Pretty decent documentary called Towncraft about what went down. I was in a band with Chris Wilson, who is now drummer with Ted Leo + Pharmacists. Fun. Exhausting.

fun and exhausting is right. We have all of our recordings, just stopped playing as a band in like late '97, and havent had the time to go through, edit and break it out to online. I think our guitarist still has even all of our concert posters. We used to get billed with all kinds of bands, ska, punk, emo. HWM is one band that is still killing it. Go see them every time they come around

So the movie Mud was written and directed by Ben Nichols (Lucero, Red 40) brother. He used a bunch of our show flyers and zines in several of the bedroom scenes. We recognized 4 or 5 we made on the drummer's bedroom floor. Major nostalgia trip.

holy crap, I just saw Lucero a few months ago. Met my current girlfriend at that show. I went for Titus Andronicus, who killed it, and them, who I was very impressed by. I have to see it now

Whoa, whoa, what band were you in!?

505Turbeaux > JEM 01/13/2014 at 14:57

Not any band of consequence beyond regionally, more or less the Boston/NYC area. I am actually going to stick with anonymity for a bit longer around oppoland :)

Lol, ok no worries. Been seeing local shows around Worcester/Boston since like 1992 so super curious.

in that case I will figure out a way to inform you without making it public. You are the dude who lives near Polar seltzer, right?
