Any more details on the Matt Wixson show on June 21st?

Yeah, it's about time to pin all the details down.

Supposedly a band is touring with Matt, but I have yet to hear from them. Sigh. I guess that means I have to hunt them down.

I've also had a couple of other bands express interest in playing with Matt.

Any locals interested? Any bands you'd especially like to see??

I'd really love to see Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad on a non 18/21+ show around here some time. I've heard great things about them..

And I think it's about time to get The Planet Smashers back. They were REALLY freaking awesome last time at Wa-Noa.

Umm.. I know there's others but I can't think right now. Gimme some time. I'm slow.

Pseudostrike is touring with them. Tarman Zombie is one of their AIM screen names. We wanted Matt out here but found both bands less than eager to get anything together for that tour.

I decided it was time I start participating, too. Danny comes to my crappy message board.

Pseudo Strike wimped out of the tour, and I moved quickly to replace them. On the road with me instead will be We Are The Union. They're recording their debut EP probably as I type this, but the simplest description of their sound is just to say ASOB.

As far as Rochester, it's always been in the back of my mind that we could still possibly hit that up as well. I don't know what I was thinking choosing to not play shows over playing shows while booking a tour. I just talked to Matt of WATU (everybody in the MI ska scene is a Matt, just FYI) and he said basically f*ck boston, let's play another show in NY. So... if the offer is still on the table, I'd like to apologize and formally withdraw my rejection.

Sorry about being so disorganized and what not. If you want to contact someone in WATU, send an IM to letsgetduffed. That's Matt. I'll try to come by once in a while. Deal?

P.S. - How's this for a screen name?

Who the f*ck are you?

Matt, I really want to get you in Rochester so I am goign to see what I can do to get this show setup.

//Edit: I talked to Matt from WATU and told him we wanted the date. If you want more dtails, just talk to him or give me a message at fastkrestoorange on AIM or email me at kuddlestheklown@gmail.com

I don't mean to be a problem... but if we do go ahead and put Rochester in here, would it be possible to switch the dates on the shows? Geographically, Rochester before Syracuse makes more sense. It's probably not going to be a huge problem if we backtrack... just wondering if it's too late to eliminate that.

Succinct, yet mysterious.
