What ended up happening


Booked a shitty band out of Jacksonville FL that migrated to Athens for "The Scene".

They billed themselves along the lines of Dead Milkmen.

But they weren't. They were typical Jacksonville douche-prog. You would have thought they were sponsored by Carvin. It was really awkward.

But not the most awkward I've been on a stage.

Probably not even top 5.

But it was unprofessional of Future Islands.. Now I know why greasy promoters always want signatures on documents and what-not. Because of people like Future Islands.

FI is a good band. Cant say i really love them. I like their sound and their song writing. never seen them but supposedly they put on a solid, high energy show. that pedo looking lead singer weirds me out though. don't care for his voice much at all. I clown him pretty hard on the music board

I cringe everytime he breaks into a screamo session. Seasons/balance/some others are good tunes though

I see they're also playing August 7th at the Fox, might have to consider doing that instead.

shite that's really tough for me

One big holiday (live)

Its definitely easier to go the album route, if you have a little time. these two are my favorites and I go back and forth on the order

Circuital

I love the flow of the entire album. Victory dance is such a great opener

Z

Just greatness beginning to end
