The Privates are playing at the End on this Wednesday, November 19th. The Bubblegum Complex is playing with them and there's another act, too. I've been meaning to see the Bubblegum Complex for a year or so now, because they were at Vol State the same time as myself, last year. I don't know if they suck or not. Regardless, I'm going to see the Privates because they kick ass.

Yay for the Bubblegum Complex. They're the band whose album my record label's releasing later this month. (Around the 26th) If you want more details feel free to check out my label's site that I made. heatstrokerecords.com

Yes, the design sucks, I know. I'm going to buy a professional one soon enough though, and then everything shall be squared away. And in all honesty, I do recommend that you check out the BGC these days. They recently got rid of their troublesome drummer and added a far more talented one as well as a second guitarist. From what I hear, it's more of a band whereas previously it was mostly just Caldwell. (Their frontman) Also, from what others have told me, their new material is definitely their best yet, so yeah, check 'em out.

By the way, that other act is Velcro Stars. They're an excellent, talented band and a split album with them and the BGC will probably be HS Records' second release.

(Edited by Jakob Dorof at 4:49 pm on Nov. 16, 2003)

I haven't heard BGC, only of them, but I am really interested in seeing a show. While I was out this weekend, several people told me that they were very good...

i'm so excited about seeing the privates again!

that sounds funny....

I would recommend that you take a picture of the privates so you can enjoy them whenever you like. Just don't post the pictures on the Internet.

first three people who send me a PM get a copy......

THE PRIVATES? HAHA FUNNY NAME

Classic

the privates rule. i will be there on wed. the other acts sound like they may make the night an all around good one. i can't wait.

I'll be there as well. Really looking forward to it, and the curry I'll be cooking up 1 block away that night. yum yum!

Count me in... I think.

for a second i thought about not going. do i really want to be out late when i have to get up for work early the next morning? then i realized, wait, it's the privates, i'd be stupid to miss this show. after all, i'm 5 for 5. and 'chococat' has been in my head for one week straight.

What's the cover for this show?

Pretty sure it's $5.

$5 cover for The Privates? Victoria's Secret must be having a sale.

the privates are my favorite nashville band, hands down.

i want to be a groupie

me too....

the privates are so damn awesome.

I had everything in place to record this show and my dumb ass left the recorder on pause the whole time. I hope that they play sometime soon, because I think that I'm addicted. And, they played an Eno cover. It was fucking great.

If they ever decide to tackle another cover, they should play "My Mind Ain't So Open" by Magazine. That song fits their sound so well. Neuboy could play the horn parts with his keyboard, but he'd have play guitar the rest of the time. It would blow my mind.

(Edited by richarddawson at 2:25 am on Nov. 20, 2003)

GOD DAMNIT!!! which eno song did they do? if it was "needle in the camel's eye" then i will be very upset.

It was a great show. But I wouldn't go that far.

it was. they also played it at their springwater show last month.

Suck it, loser.

Damn, sorry I couldn't go . I was mucho sickly and could barely speak ... another time perhaps:)

i'll get you one day, dawson. you and your little minidisc recorder too....

Don't forget that I invited you to go with me.

hey man, i cant help it that i had homework to do. it just seems that i need to stop putting off schoolwork and make time to go see the privates again. they were wonderful the first time i saw them, and i would love to see them again. im a jealous bastard, that's all.



(Edited by ray davies at 8:54 pm on Nov. 20, 2003)

No, just leave it at bastard.

Yeah, remember this is the Features' board. you have to say you love the Features, and then their side projects.

did anyone else notice how the privates all have really good hair?

The bass player definitely needs a hair cut.

No he doesn't. It looks good.

He needs to stop sucking so many dicks

i can't stop laughing.... whew.

no, it looks good! don't cut it! rollum already cut his

So, i saw the Privates last week and they were amazing! They have a ton of energy! They are now on my list of fav nashville bands alongside the Features and De Novo Dahl.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone. Im obviously new here. I am totally looking forward to seeing the Features in the boro on the 5th. I was just wondering who all else is going, I love meeting new people

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

I'll be there. You should come say hello. I've got long hair and I look like Tom Cruise. (with an ugly mask on)

I'll be there. Most likely talking to strangers that I want to meet.

I'll most likely be with foldsfan for some of the night. I have medium-length hair and I look like Tom Cruise too, but minus the ugly mask.

(Edited by richarddawson at 5:32 pm on Nov. 27, 2003)

awesome, ill be on the lookout for two Tom Cruise look-a-likes and someone talking to strangers... this'll be fun! It's a good thing that I'm a Tom Cruise fan.

OHMIGOD

stopforme, are you going to the show?!?!?!?! what are you going to wear? call me tomorrow so we can get together and plan out what we'll wear together, k??? can i borrow your black dress from express?!?!

oh and guys... i'll be the one with the badass hair looking all sexy and shit. if you see me come talk to me, ok?!?!?! i loooooove meeting new people!

Piece of advice: wear a cup, helmet, and raingear.

OKAY! heres the shit. i got the HOTTEST/CUTEST neon pink sequin halter top from RAVE [the store] and i was thinking about wearing it with my neon green hot pants. and you know what i thought would be the cutest? is if you wore your neon green top with your hot pink hot pants! we would be like the olsen twinkies! if you dont want to do that though, i say we wear our matching over-all shorts outfits. god, i really need to get to the tanning bed before friday because im peeling so badly and my skin is all white where the peeling happened. UGH! dont you hate that, sina? okay, idea. how about you and i stick together the entire night and sip sweet pink cosmos in the corner and give our sexiest [glamor shots] scowls at the metrosexual boys with tans that rival ours!

p.s. do you think you could bring the virginia slim menthols?
p.s.s. do any of you tom cruise look-alikes like blow jobs?

I can't decide if I like them or not.

I was told on two separate occasions, once by the aunt of a female friend and another by the mother of a female friend, that I look like Hugh Grant. Of course, that was during the Divine Brown scandal. No joke.

What does that get me?

Score!

And, yes I do! How'd you know? (that other Tom Cruise look-alike doesn't though, unless theyre from boys. just a heads up [...and down and up])

(Edited by richarddawson at 6:10 pm on Dec. 1, 2003)

the privates are playing again next monday, opening for dressy bessy. i think it's at the end.

Nice.

i bet the privates like blowjobs.

stopforme, it looks like we have a date next monday!!!!!

Well, I know mine do.

(Edited by carligula at 2:04 pm on Dec. 2, 2003)

hah!

Perhaps I should look into becoming one of these "metrosexuals" you speak of...

With The Privates or with blowjobs...or both???

I LIKE BLOWJOBS

why didnt you say so?

(Edited by Snatch_Cootchiesex at 3:25 pm on Dec. 2, 2003)

OMG- I like totally need to go to the tanning bed too, stopforme! I haven't been for like a whole hour and im starting to look all pasty and gross!

But now i dont have anything to wear. i was sooo going to wear my neon pink sequin halter top with my neon green hot pants. I have a killer electric blue eyeshadow that goes perfectly with it. ooo maybe i could get a tan and buy a super cute outfit at the Gap all in the same day. Wouldn't that be super fun!!

sorry- dont know what came over me -- must be the NyQuil

P.S. I'm not a 'vixen' like my name implies. So im not giving any Tom Cruise look-alikes blow jobs but if someone else were to, far be it from me to judge. Hugh Grant on the other hand...

where's poohbear's girl when you need her?

Boo-yah!!

Wait, when you say you're not a Vixen, do you mean you're not a lovely lady, or just that you're not a slut?

I think she meant she's not a fox. Literally.

(Edited by MissSeptember at 9:59 pm on Dec. 2, 2003)

word. maybe you could give sadie a few tips.

anything to distract someone from your absolutely horrible hair. it looked better when you bleached that shit, and even then you looked like a fauxasian mongoloid.

Well, if she were a Mongoloid, she wouldn't be a fauxasian would she?

Bleaching is overrated.

Sorry, I am not giving blowjobs out today. Try again later.

interesting. do go on.

or an urban outfitters catalogue, Lord knows that's original.



(Edited by DigsySlattery at 6:16 pm on Dec. 3, 2003)

you wanna talk clothes, digsy? lets talk clothes.
and originality. lets talk about that too.

(Edited by stopforme at 6:20 pm on Dec. 3, 2003)

No, because I dress horribly and don't spend more than $25 on any outfit.

but you obviously have an opinion. so lets discuss!
oh, and 25 dollars at the thrift store is about as original as you can get these days.

Eh, just about as original as a white t-shirt and euro shoes...

i dont even know what euro shoes are. do you get them at the thrift store? i dont know cause i dont shop for clothes there.

Enough talking about No Doubt. I only want to talk about the Features.

(Edited by DigsySlattery at 6:41 pm on Dec. 3, 2003)

no really, id like to talk about no doubt more. and shoes. and originality. please. im really serious.

No no, you can't be serious...

I don't have anything to say about clothes except wear what you like.

On the other hand, I DO have something to say about Digsy's signature - Your Christmas countdown is awesome!

Thanks, I have avatars-a-plenty to help celebrate this season.

Even with finals-week-stress, I still have time to make 13 avatars...

it has been brought to my attention that there might have been a little misunderstanding here. my comment about sadie was only to suggest that she take a lesson from the vixen about how to react to criticism. nothing to do with clothes, appearance, or even hair. hope this helps.

I thought you meant it that way as well...glad you didn't!

I just like being catty. Tis the season and all...

* DRESSY BESSY. Pure and simple retro bubblegum indie pop from this Denver-based band with ties to the Apples in Stereo and The Minders. While they look like extras from an Austin Powers flick, Dressy Bessy has just as much in common sonically and stylistically with the wave of early-'90s female-fronted indie rock bands like Belly and Velocity Girl. With THE PRIVATES, Nashville's best and brightest new indie band, who take members from Character and the Features to back up one of the most energetic and gifted frontmen we've seen, plus new proto-punk band THE PINK SPIDERS, who try to marry the Ramones with newer more aggro/emo sounds like At The Drive In. 9pm, The End, $6

HO HO HO! Santa loves The Privates!

man santa, that is just what i wanted. you are so swell!

Who cares what you think, fatty? This is the FEATURES board, and we don't take kindly to people coming on this board and plugging other bands without first plugging the FEATURES! Who cares if you brought me the Legoland Monorail? Why don't you take your bowl full of jelly and go post on the Privates message board?

(Edited by YaDaDaDa at 1:17 pm on Dec. 4, 2003)

I agree, i havent seen a single post about the features yet, Santa...get off this fucking board unless you have something to say about anything that matters...or no doubt.

(God, i LOVED my Legoland Monorail)

Yeah Santa, I hear you do a lot of dick sucking. All over town, even!

This is going to be the best Christmas EVAR!

No love for Verde!! Rage can suck it.

Welcome back YaDaDaDa!! We missed you! Well, I did at least.

Santa, welcome to the board! You tha man!

(hmmm... too many exclamation points for me today...)

well... maybe they were saying KEITH is actually the frontman.... backed up by members of character and the features...... ??? yeah, that's it.

if not, then they can suck it.

As long as they spell my name right on the checks, I don't care what people write or don't write about me. It's all about tha Benjamins baby.

(Edited by Keith at 4:11 pm on Dec. 4, 2003)

Yes, welcome back, YDDD. Your avatar and member title are clever, as always.

Santa, pay no attention to all of these haters. I'm glad you're here! And thanks for the Blur box set last year - I love it!

that is a pretty slick avatar...

HO HO HO! Santa LOVES The Features! Why do you think I came here in the first place? To talk about oral sex? NO! Santa does like oral sex, and The Features, but he is here for serious business: to talk about CHRISTMAS! HO HO HO! Merry Christmas!

Santa, you're alright. I was just a little upset about the Sea Monkies. Otherwise, you've never done me wrong. My favorite thing you ever gave me was that "Duck Tales" sleeping bag....thanks. Really. I'm getting misty....

Hey Santa, remember that year you brought me Metroplex? Man, that was awesome.

(Edited by carligula at 6:30 pm on Dec. 4, 2003)

Of course I do, Carl! I'm so happy you liked it!

About the Sea Monkeys, I am deeply sorry for disappointing you. I will do my best to bring you everything you can dream of this Christmas!

Keep the Christmas spirit alive!

Fucking cool! I loved my Superman sleeping bag.

Some of my favorite things that Santa gave me in my younger days...
Dukes of Hazzard Shrinky-Dinks - age 3
Superman sleeping bag - age 6
Sega Genesis - age 9
Game Boy w/ Tetris and Batman video games- age 6
The Batcave playset - age 5

and plenty of others

(Edited by richarddawson at 10:15 pm on Dec. 4, 2003)

jumanji (the board game). actually, i dont know if i was truly that excited or i flipped out because i wanted to be on americas funniest home videos.
and my barbie jeep. the battery powered one. that rocked.
bikes were always good, too. mine had a freakin radio. it was awesome.

I loved my Peaches and Cream Barbie, although that was for my birthday. (Wait, you do have control of those too, don't you, Santa?)

I also loved my two Cabbage Patch Dolls (One Cornsilk, One Regular. Thanks!)

My Dusty Rose bike was awesome. Kudos.

My trampoline kicked ass. Seriously, thank you!!!

I must thank Santa for the plethora of X-Men action figures that are now prominently displayed in my room. Dude, they rock.

The GIJoe headquarters was a way cool gift as well.

As materialistic and nostalgic person as I am, I thought I could remember more...huh...

Oh yeah, I forgot about all of the X-Men figures that I got. Santa was always careful to not accidentally give me X-Force figures and for that, I will always be appreciative. Sadly, they are now boxed up in my old room in Gallatin. There were so many comic book figures...

i had that bike.
street rocker

come to think of it, santa gave it to me too.

(Edited by stopforme at 12:30 am on Dec. 5, 2003)

santa....

could you bring me the echo and the bunnymen box set for christmas?

santa really needs to start a thread of his own. maybe a wishlist thread?

just that im not a slut... but thanks missSeptember, now everyone knows Im not a fox

Oh, and I would love a thread from Santa... there are so many things i want this Christmas. hmmm, where to begin...

I meant literally. As in a four-legged creature hunted by homosexual Englishmen. I'm sure you're foxy, though.

There's a world of difference!

santa, can you go back in time and make the zombies never break up. they were the best band ever.

and thanks for the beach boys box set a few years ago, and the collected works of sylvia plath, oh yeah and the simon & garfunkel box set, but that year you got me a phil collins cd has left me confused for years. what was that all about?

Actually, the Zombies are still very much alive (and I dont mean just through their music). Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone did a US tour this past summer promoting their very sorry "Out of the Shadows" comeback album. However, they did play many of their old favorites from the Zombies days and pleased a very diverse and interesting crowd. It was a very pleasing experience for me, but I could have done without the flamboyant guitarist in the hawaiian shirt. He was a little over the top!

Merry Christmas!

Santa Rules.

I never knew Santa was such a happening fellow.

Privates are playing tonight. They're opening up for Dressy Bessy. I didn't like [Dressy Bessy]. Verde's better.

The Pink Spiders are also playing (opening). It is the singer from Silent Friction's new band, if you are into that.

And by "that", he means dodging crash cymbals.

and bad music.

It was a hi-hat.

Oh. My bad. Nevermind then.

I might go...is this 18+? I don't get out much....

Yes, 18+.

Thanks. Now it's a matter if anyone else is going, and if I decide to do my paper....right now.

So, um, who else is going?

I think I'm there... depends if I get all of my "christmas chores" done.

i did not make the show and i hate myself for it. the privates are the best. how was the show? sorry i missed, but i just got a second job, and i have been swamped with all kinds of stuff.

Yeah, I didn't make it. I ended up writing that paper.

I was there. The crowd was alright. I "accidentally" missed the Pink Spiders.

The Privates suffered from a ridiculous amount of technical problems: several spontaneous unpluggings, broken guitar strings, broken bass amp, crappy monitors, dropped picks, flying drumsticks, etc. Despite all this, it was still a pretty good show.

Most of the crowd left before/during Dressy Bessy. It was pretty sad. The band acknowledged the lack of an energetic crowd, but a few in the audience were trying to keep it together. I have to admit, I've actually liked the band less and less the 3 times I've seen them.

Wow. That sounds like a Features show from days gone by.

Twas a good show and through the miracle of electronic tweakings, the mishappens can go unnoticed on the bootleg.

I felt bad for them, but at the same time, I didn't care. I like them too much for such things to keep me from enjoying the show.
