NYC 7/5 at Asterisk: Psychedelic Horseshit, Fabulous Diamonds, Rot Shit +

[vint]

I cant believe Rot Shit has played east and west of their own neighborhood, you dongs still going to California or what?

They have still not done shit for this tour. They don't have plane tickets and have not rented a vehicle. They did blow money on coke and strippers though before coming to NY. Hopefully they get their shit together, or the next time I see them they will feel my wrath.

In my defense.
I agreed to do the tour when i was assured that all I needed to do was have some drum stuff and a plane ticket.

Both of which I can still get at any time.

What happened with the van? Was there someone that was supposed to drive us before?

[andy...]

Oh man, this is gonna turn into "Drugula Arrested?" part II in no time, cant wait!

You better take the word THEY out of that one.

Shit Reason west coast tour....                                 DEAD!

[vint]

This tour is officially canceled. I'm currently in the process of contacting venues and promoters and letting them know that we're backing out. Hopefully I can get some of my shifts back at work since I took off of work for almost two weeks for this. Plane ticket is non-refundable.

[Count Drugula]

I'm still confused about the story of this tour.
Did Vinnie agree to it when everything was planned out and solid and it just fell apart, or was this stuff never figured out to begin with?

[vint]

Agree to it? I was asked to go on tour with you guys, and then I was asked to book it, which I did. Booking a tour is not easy, and I had to go through people who are not going to be happy about having their venues booked up and then flaked out on, because they're going to lose money. The SF Bay Guardian called me and did an interview to promote the show, they're not going to be happy about paying a freelancer to write an article that now can't be published. Booking in LA always sucks for me and I basically had to push people around to get us a show there, which will make it much more difficult for me to book in the future, especially considering you guys ended up flaking in the end.

I was ASKED to do this and I did it as a favor and because I thought it'd be fun, but now I'm out a plane ticket, I'm out two weeks of work and I fucked over my show contacts there which will make it much more difficult for me to book shows on the west coast in the future.

You guys were complete dicks to everyone when you came up to NY. You think it's all a cute joke, but it's not a cute joke to fuck over people who go out of their way to help you out. We are not glamorous hipsters. We don't have money falling from the sky or from our labels, or from MTV or Vice. We work hard for this shit and make a whole lot of sacrifices to earn the modest respect and success that we've gotten.

What's worse is you guys know me. You think me having a real evil hard ass streak is a joke? Just wait to see what happens to people who fuck me over. You will never laugh again in your pathetic little lives, I promise.

[Vinnie]

The reason we did not buy tickets yet is because I have yet to even see dates and we have no way to get around once in LA. I will buy my place ticket tonight if I can be garunteed that we will have a way to get to LA to the next city. I tried to find someone with a van or tried to find a way to rent a car. I am not 25 years old, so I cannot rent a car. If someone wants to I am still in to go. This was going to be the highlight of my summer and probably year. Was really looking forward to going.

Kevin, I recall saying I would help book it but I didn't know anyone on the West Coast and it would be hard for me to do anything, I said I'd ask Andy for help then you just took charge. To this day I have yet to see dates of this tour.

I still would LOVE to go, but if we don't have a way to get around on tour what is the point of any of us going?

I don't know who was being a dick to anyone in NYC, I certainly don't recall. I can only speak for myself and I know I didn't do anything that would make you or anyone that helped us out be mad at me. Oh well. Kevin, if you want to talk this through give me a call, I don't want you to be pissed at me or my friends yer a great dude, lot of mis communications just fucked this one up.

[Count Drugula]

Sorry, I meant when Vinnie told me about the tour. He said we're going to CA with Pink reason.
"I said, is this for real? Like gonna happen? I said I'll do it as long as everything's taken care of, because I'm too busy right now with moving, working, recording and everything to do any booking or anything".

So as I understand there's no van or car?

As it stands I'll still buy a ticket and go as long as something is figured out about that.

And as for NYC, I have no idea what you're talking about.
We were all having a blast and were super nice and thankful for everything.
I just kept hugging everyone and talking about a cat.

oh man you guys are DEAD

[WYZARD ASSASSIN]

That night was pretty epic to say the least.

That night Rot Shit turned into OBNOXIOUS THE MOVIE and were un-stoppable. Blues Control was ONE unique melting drone all the way thru and almost stole the show. Fab Dimes were pretty sick. Better than the Death By Audio show. Or maybe more like Beat Happening white dub and less harsh and steely i guess. And Nisa was truly mesmerizing. Psy Horse were the best act for sure. Unlike the first show you could hear everything, especially that trashcan turned into a killer kick drum. That, plus a whole different playlist than their first show made people realize - again - that they could turn turd, trash, crass, hiss and/or heat into liquid gold at any given time. Total bliss.

Steve kept being an international babeside dude all night long and wanted to help everyone getting high all the time. Many of his quotes that night were the shit and would need to be written down for young termbros in need of inspiration...

The whole place turned into a giant dub-ey ice cream wizard weasel sweatbox...We landed in Todd P's illegal shitty van and drove thru a hidden shortcut from BK to QB via a giant toxic wasteland owned by italian people. Tina then silently freaked out at that point and spent the rest of the night thinking about the validity of Todd Patrick in the real world and how she could make his kingdom collapse. That was until she thought she was Jesus on the cross but thats another story. Mirrors and sushis...

i guess that sweet acid eventually made some of us pretty paranoid in the morning but nothing too dramatic.

BOGANS.

I have lots of pictures from this weekend.  I will post the flickr once I upload them, if yinz want.  some of them are wayyy incriminating.  and some of them are totally absurd because  I was tripping on acid and just enjoying being in a dark room and watching people's reactions to the flashes.  I'm sure that was annoying, whoops!

kevin, I think I have pictures of you and "drugula" being cats together.

lastly, fabulous diamonds fucking killed it.  I am curious to listen to them without tripping -- is it possible, even?

it's funny posting on this thing -- I feel like I'm crashing some weird party that I wasn't invited to despite knowing many of the people here.  hayy.

[kong]

oh, and psychedelic horseshit sounded just as good as their recordings.  so great.

My friend who lives in ny and stopped by to visit me -- she saw the  rotshit set though she doesn't normally go to these kinds of things.  her reaction to rotshit was, "oh, they were so cute!"

pretty funny considering it was fag this, retard that -
