shentov! You lucky lucky bad-ass you! How have you been? I have been curious as to what you have been up to lately!
I was lucky lucky lucky enough to be graced with a shellac show at a club literally 30 steps from my front door last year. They played Houston for the first time ever. Don;t know why, but they did. It was AMAZING. Fuck was it amazing. I took like 5 people with me o hear their ears get blasted out their assholes. It was so fucking good so HEAVY so loud so tight. Watch Todd Trainer on drums, he is a fucking MONSTER. amazing amazing drummer. your balls will quiver. Steve Albini and Bob Weston wear their guitars on belts around their waist. Albini has been doing this since the Big Black days, I think to take strain off his back. They will fucking blow you away. they do not say much between songs but ussually Bob Weston will ask questions of the crowd or take questions from the crowd. My friend at the Houston show asked "Why did you come to Houston?" and Albini laughed and Bob said "we just heard about it" o r something to that effect, which was very funny. steve will ussually be selling shellac t-shirts (the one I bought was like an old gym class style shirt.) after the show and you can talk to him. he is a very nice guy, but he does not like the stupid shit. Oh man I am so jealous. I never ever thought I would get to see shellac live and when it happened it was amazing. brutal. best of luck my sonic friend.

boy, was that one of the most amazing show i've ever witnessed?! hell, yeah!
( i was thinking of whole another thread to spread the word about that experiense, but i thought it'd be a lame thing to do, so i'd just post here ) so, it was a couple of days since they played in Sofia (12 may) but my ears are still ringing (well, not literally, but still). generally this show counts to my top 5 best ever shows i've been to ( SY. Mudhoney. Nomeansno. Logh. Buzzcocks. ) they played a great playlist. played both of my favorite songs- prayer to god, squirrel song. that says enough (for me). steve checked the gear wearing a one-piece working suit (i dont know the word... DEVO has those suits for example- get it?!), then he got it off and played the show in torn jeans and a super ordinary t-shirt, after the last song he got back in it while selling t-shirts and chatting with the audience. they did the question thing between the songs. steve and bob were awesome and kind, i asked them q's for the travis bean guitars, and they answered just like friends, great feeling! near the end of the show they said "three more songs" and played exactly three more songs- i liked that, most of the time i really hate the "c'mon, play some moooore!" moments on gigs. in the end of the last song they dropped their guitars really fast and started dismantling (sp?) tod's drums until he stood there only with his sticks in his hands. then he dropped them in the audience (and gave away the rest of his drumsticks right after that) note: he beats really monstrous- his drumsticks were f**kin' torn from beating the drums! after the show they were selling tees on the stage, talked with the people really friendly, took pictures with everybody w/o saying anything... before they could pick a drink or take a piss... you know... and many people wanted to take pictures. i wanted to get my ticket signed and asked steve to "do the rock star thing" (get my ticket autographed)- he lauged really sincere, seems he enjoyed the joke ![]() here are some pictures from the show. i'm lost for words anyway... that was really a dream came true for me. SHELLAC rocked my ass off! some pics with me and the band: http://koeficient.blogspot.com/2008/05/shellac.html and a few more from the show on myspace too- www.myspace.com/shentov

^ dog and pony song. and bob doesn't wear belt straps.
i saw them a week ago on a boat. i bought a t-shirt from steve and was standing like 10 inches away from him (stage was really low) while they played. it was the best show i went to hands down. they didnt even have their normal shellac amps but some other ones and they still blew everyone away. |

i see that answer pretty late, but... anyway, do you notice how dull i do look while posing w/ Steve and my pal Alex? it always happens to me when i reach some of my fav bands/players and have the chance to take a pic w/ them. comes out i look like someone put 220 volts up my butt while taking the shot. i love them photos anyway ![]() the show of the year, period. (i could be seeing bjork, but it really couldn't compete, nevertheless i love the lady so much...) peace to all PS this place is becoming more and more a total mess every time i come back online from a month like absence (sp?) shentov

awesome, buddy. i want to see dublin as well (someday). heard nice things about the place from friends who've been there last month.
mostly beer stories and pissing on the streets though, but they bet they've had a glorious times. peace attack
