let's be frank: big trouble took a kind of cavalier attitude towards '07. but a new year brings new things, and believe me: '08 belongs to big trouble. and barack obama.
let me just reiterate: big trouble is a place where dreams come true. we're not demanding. we're not "high maintenance." we're flexible, fun, and generally down for whatever. want to enjoy some instrumental music, including sly covers of death cab for cutie, the zombies, bjork, and angelo badalamenti, plus originals? we got you covered. need a band that can ably back any kind of artist, from singer/songwriter rob skoro to rapper p.o.s.? we got that, too. how about some original music with some original words from alexei casselle aka crescent moon of kill the vultures and roma di luna. damn, man, we've already recorded an EP like that, and it's coming out march 6 on afternoon records.
in short, we're coming to your town (if you live in minneapolis or saint paul), but we're not coming to tear it down. we'll just be over here, blowing your mind softly.
when not being in big trouble, the members of big trouble play with heiruspecs, joanna james, martin devaney, jessy greene, supreme privacy, and some other people. they've been joined onstage by robert skoro, bill caperton, annie from awesome snakes/soviettes, ben weaver, martin devaney, stook, joanna james, p.o.s. and i think that's about it. they also sometimes play basketball.
guys you like from bands you love playing songs you know without the crappy words in the bars you drink at in the cities you sleep in. the twin cities are in big trouble.
I just wanted to let you know that I just finished and posted the 2nd installment of my FreEP mixtape series for myspace. It's called the "Get Your Fix Tape". It's 6 chapters(approx. 30 min) of free music all produced(accept 3 beats this time), recorded, mixed, and mastered by me at my crib over the span of the past few weeks. Cuts by DJ Name from Rockit Science. Be sure and check out the song "Anonymous Filth" feat Sean Anonymous on Chapter 5. I made this for all my friends. Download, and enjoy!
What up CMIIBT. Show was fantastic last night. I've been waiting for this EP for about a year. Excited to be able to listen to Broken Dishes a million times. Good look on reppin' UCDC. I like your style. Peter's beard, Steve's sweaters, Sean'scarf, Josh's kicks and Alexi's rolled pants. See you at the 331? Step up my game in 2008!
Having never been to the theater portion of the BLB I asked around and word is the BLB isn't the best place for recording unless you're on stage or get there early enough to clamp to the projector (with permission). Scratching taping but I still want to see the show. If I do get lazy bastard syndrome I'm at the Turf saturday and will be trying to purchase a couple EPs from Alexei. I love all of the tracks you have posted and look forward to catching another show.
nice show sorry i didnt stick around i was very tired. i came striaght from the brother ali concert to your show. but like always you guys did great. peace out carissa.
