I'm new to this board and the hilarity is just amazing!

Any non ironic/sarcastic replies to the original question would be appreciated.

Gwar opening all east coast shows.

It's actually a GWAR tribute-band performing Psychic Hearts

I'd be down for a little Ono Soul while taking a shot of space-blood to the face!

Mary Timony has a new band called Pow Wow. Would love to see them open...

Don't forget the space jizz.

what about the show on the 28th in chicago...same band I suppose? or 3 hours of y00f.

not sure, and not sure what other bands could be playing, check the venue site

Man, this opening band sucks.

^Yes. What is this psychedelic shit?

I love the Entrance band!! And they'e opening in toronto, which I am missing!! UGH! I love Paz :(

I don't want to see anything within six degrees of A Perfect Circle.

hahaha

I always thought Ill Nino were kinda cool ahaha.

The Entrance Band features Paz, who was in A Perfect Circle --> A Perfect Circle currently features James Iha, who was also in the Smashing Pumpkins--> Smashing Pumpkins also featured Melissa Auf der Mar, who was in Hole--> Hole featured Courtney Love, who was married to Kurt Cobain of Nirvana(whom she performed with on 'It's Closing Soon') --> Nirvana was an opening act for Sonic Youth...

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKKK

^ Neat

Oh no! Please tell me that they are not ending on the 13th....I am going to the Tulsa/Cain's show on the 16th, and too have had a very LONG-standing crush on Paz. Even though I am not too into this Entrance Band stuff...I would love to see her on the stage before SY. And to be honest...it does sound like it might be decent live music at least.

*edit...well, looks like Awesome Color is opening the Cain's show...so that should still be cool.*

GHEY!!!!!!!!! I would've enjoyed them at teh show.

Awesome Color is opening the Denver show, too. I would have preferred the Entrance Band, but whatever.

whatabout a reformed-but-shouldn't-have classic rock band: grateful dead, yes, led zep as openers?

I would have much preferred Awesome Color as the opener for the Toronto date.

Don't know Awesome Color - but Entrance Band don't sound too bad... my only complaint is that I'd rather SY had just played longer... but they may yet do a long set, right? [smirk]

I'm really really tired of seeing Awesome Color. I saw them when they opened up for SY during the Rather Ripped tour. I saw them when they opened up for Dinosaur Jr a year later. And you know what? They're really BORING. Why SY, why?
