the privates played their first show this past weekend at 12th and porter though i wasn't there so i have no idea what they sound like.

should be cool, though, and wouldn't be over $5 (though it may be a 21+ show... not sure, never been there).

Just when I thought that the Sutler had completely flat-lined in terms of their live music, they go and do THIS! I'm there.

yeah, i've never actually been to the sulter before tonight (to drop off some fliers) but i always thought of it as a singer/songwriter honky-tonk type place, i guess. then this girl christy called and told me she had imaginary baseball league booked and that her boyfriend wanted to book us (mercator) and that they were trying to book different types of music now (i guess before was just the singer/songwriter and metal bands (??)). so, the night after our show is IBL and i guess they're gonna try and have good bands consistently now, which is always good considering the other options out there (that don't charge $150+ for "sound") for young indie rock bands now that the slow bar has closed.

glad to hear you're coming. thanks

Ah, beat me to it on the IBL plug. I'm hoping I can make it to this after the Verde set at the Havana lounge.

I'm very excited about the prospects of the Sutler being the "new Slow Bar". Plus, it's right across the street from my favorite gay bar.

I fucking love the Sutler. I saw Clem Snide there a while back and the Urban Peasants earlier this year. It's really cool, in my opinion, and the people that work there aren't dicks.

And their chicken wings are the best!

do any of you know if the sutler is 21+? i didn't know but, if they serve food, wouldn't that make them at least 18+?

Well, I think that they are 21+, and not to rat them out, but I've never had any trouble with them about seeing shows there while under 21. They just make sure that you don't drink and I kindly oblige since they let me in. They could have changed though.

It's all ages during the day, of course. For shows, it's been 21+ for as long as I can remember.

I do not like the Slutler, and as such I will not be at the show.

kick ass. i know how you feel (but directed at other venues around town)

thanks to the others for the 21+ question answers.

upon examining your name, i have determined that you are not, in fact, ballet apes, which i previously mistook you for.

boooooooooooo

Yeah dude, you're a dick. Bad reason for not attending a show.

hey i was at that clem snide show. you, me and 2 other people. did you see they're coming to the exit/in on Oct 4 with cailfone?

also Urban Peasant is now called The Mattoid. just in case you were unaware.

Excellent, you've told me about Mattoid four or five times now, but I haven't been able to remember that name. I love that band. They're so entertaining. I just hope that they don't get rid of Sunflower.

And yeah, I did hear about Clem Snide, yet I am still pissed that they are playing the Exit/In again, instead of a smaller venue, like the End. Beulah is coming soon too...again.

4 or 5 times? sorry, my mind is slipping, i'm an old man.

Wouldn't it be cool is The Mattoid and Clem Snide played another show together?

baby jesus?

If you don't take them out, they'll go flying across the room.

That show was sooo awesome!!!

Did you stick around for the other bands? We had to sneak out to wish Lawnwrangler a happy birthday.

No, we left also. I didn't think there was anyway that I could be any more entertained than I was at the end of that set, so I thought I'd leave on the highest note.

twas your mistake. things only got better.

i just thought i'd stop by and say battletapes is fag.
