Still getting stronger and tighter and louder and faster.. tomorrow the tour lands in Houston at Number's.. and what a show it is going to be. I (and all the bands) just want to say thank you to everyone who has contributed to making this tour the best ever. These guys are obviously (from your posts/reviews) rocking out hard and will continue to do so. Martin once again, going at it vigourously at the drums, fell off the drum riser, this time hurting his arm. But of course he's back at it. Soooo... I just had the pleasure of being invited to join them on the remainder of the tour out on the beautiful west coast ending in Chicago at the Metro on the 20th. That show is going to kick some hard ass!! So please come up and say hello, we'd all love to meet you guys who are working hard for us.

Stressed and Exxxcited,
Candyxxx

I think Martin rocks too hard to be careful. He was definitely the hardest working on stage in Atlanta... although the roadies trying to fix the lights might have been second. the stilts-walker...third. Or something.

"You are bidding on or buying a FIELD REP pass to the Pigface/Thrill Kill Kult/Zeromancer/Bile show going on _NOW_ across the country! I went to the show in Rochester and it ROCKED!!! Now I don't need this pass anymore, and it's about $20 to get into the show. So this one's at half-off if you get it now and I'll have it shipped ASAP, just email me with the details and I'll hop right on it! More information on the tour itself can be found here. There is a listing of every show here in the STATES, they're currently in Texas and heading west, then north and then back east. The sooner you get this the cheaper it'll be to get in!
Paypal is preferred as I can have it shipped out the next day (overnight is possible too - again, simply email me with the way you want to do this and I'll bend over backwards to accomidate you) but I also accept Money Orders - NO PERSONAL CHECKS!!!! If you bid on this and win and try to send me a personal check, I'll leave you negative feedback, toss the check in the shredder and relist."

yeah, there were a few cool ppl @ the front with us, but some half-nekkid asshole kept spilling his beer on us and the dickhead behind us pulled Michelle's top down @ the end of Suck...but i agree with you....the show was fuckin great;)

i was up against the front rail, but over on levi's side of the stage. i didn't see her top get pulled down, but i saw immediately after that when she backhanded someone in the audience, and i figured someone had grabbed her. it looked like she tagged whoever it was. THAT is my kind of woman. if you read this, michelle, way to fucking go.

actually, she swatted my boyfriend and thought he'd done it and had a screaming fit at us after the show...i know it wasn't him...his hands were around my waist to keep me from falling over..so *shrug* i didnt know what to say to her...she was being a really big bitch about it...i completely sympathize with her for being pissed off, but we didnt appreciate getting shrieked at and threatened for something we didnt do.....

Michelle from Voodou here....it's really cute, defending your boyfriend and all but the bottom line is that SOMEONE tried to pull my top off, failed, and a few people got hit or "squawked at". There was a guy who came up to me after the show (whom I apparently hit) that swore to me he didn't do it and informed me that I broke his tooth...that I kinda feel bad for and my sincere apologies go out to him. He and 3 other people pointed out your "boyfriend". So I would say he got off lightly considering. Anyways, here is the (insert valiant trumpeting music & big commercial voice here) ((OFFICIAL APOLOGY)) .....sorry.....

Tour Details... *excitiement*
[info]jett_black
2003-04-07 09:40 pm UTC (link)
Reading through the details ... it's all so very rich in detail and exciting. Everything that I've imagined and more about the grit and the glory... and yet, for me, it's all imaginary... wonderful, and yet.. this wil be my first PIGFACE live experience... soon, in Portland, OR.

I'm planning on scheduling interviews with any of the artists who might have a few minutes between details to plop down and chat. Arrangements for an interview with Zeromancer have been established... and I am looking forward to this... I'm reviewing the album this evening, plus, I've reviewed a couple of times already a DVD compilation that includes a video by Zeromancer... the Beauty in Darkness dvd, vol. 6. All the same, I'd like to hear more feedback about what to expect, or maybe, if that's a trade secret, then non-stage details... what can we be privey to right away? I want to have a feel for what to ask, and what's interesting just to chat about with Zeromancer, with whom I may be the least familiar, thus far. There's the polish of the full-length album, Clone Your Lover... which, thanks, I have. What is the feel of the live show? that's what I care about most? what's the story? what's it like bumping and sweating and crying with joy, or serious pain? Feeling hungry? Feeling tired? having wonderful conversations? Making new friends? Planning future music collaborations? Gig swapping network? Clothing swapping network? Body paint? fire-works? or is that strictly off-limits these days?

What's the crowd appreciation feel like? the best thing to happen to the local music scene, show after show? How does this grass roots / street team movement compare domestically as to perhaps in europe?

What's frustrating about touring? Does it feel like battle scars in a punk rock glorioyus way? or is it just aggravating? or is that the farthest thing from an applicable description at all?

This live tour-journal thing is excellent, really. more than anything, i believe that the fans in the local underground, from town to town, will appreciate the indie support nature and turn this into a fantastic celebration of what it means to be "cool" in the underground, which from my perspective has nothing to do with pre-packaged displays of perfection. But, instead, has to do with that "we did this!" enthusiasm. To me, THAT is cool. To me, THAT is pretty much the only thing in the music underground that IS cool. That often entirely tacit understanding that the mainstream would never approve. The mainstream would never uplift the grass roots underground music scene to the level of popularity with all the backing of in-store props and promos and gigis, and billboard ads, and canned radio spots, and limos and big hair and searchlights and helicopters, and local radio personalities exploiting the opportunity to stamp their monikors on the event.

Maybe that will happen. Maybe it is happening already... but if it is happening now.. then the cheer in the underground remains the chant: "We Did This!"

and... that's cool!

23 years... I've been linked and enjoying all of this, and watching it grow within the technological advancements that make so many things so much easier... this window of communication a decade ago... unavailable.. 2 decades hardly even a consideration. it was live, or nothing else. and with all we have around us now, I believe that it's all drawing us back into the live show somehow... live and breathe and do whatever it takes to get back to this point locally, and when ever and where ever such opportunities become available...

Underground Inc must be applauded for making this tour and these opportunities so prolific now.. and i just hope to hell that the local fans in towns all acroos America get out and show appreciation for these live moments.


I'll kick back and be looking for your responses about how the live show and the personal flavour and communications associated with The UNITED tour overall is happening and bringing you closer together.



Cheers!

I know that you guys are insanely busy on the tour, but I still keep
checking the journal to see how things are going daily.Hopefully, one of you will get a free moment soon and send us all an update :)
I just wanted to tell you guys that I had a blast helping out those 3 days in Texas and I hope our paths all cross again sometime.
The pics turned out amazing and I will forward them later this week when I can. I am still recuperating from my weekend adventures. I honestly don't know how you guys work your asses off all day and evening behind the scenes, and still put on such an amazing show each and every night.Keep it up!

Come Back to Texas and see me soon!

Peace,
April Dawn
