The Privates are playing a show at the Red Rose next Wednesday, May 5th, around 9.

I think that this is their first show in Murfreesboro

be there, bitches!

yay! my brother will be in town, so i can go!

Ah, every cloud does indeed have a silver lining. My long-awaited plans for next week were recently shot to shit, but this opens me up for the possibility of seeing the Privates. Awesome!

I can't think of a better way to spend Cinco De Mayo than seeing Ryan's Privates.

Unless they were playing in Nashville.

its not on the website so I was wondering what time and who else is playing


thanks

Read what you quoted in your post for the time. The opener is yet to be determined, but I should know by tomorrow. Last minute is fun.

I'm looking forward to this show.

Green Rode Shotgun

Yeah I heard that there's going to be a party after the show.....

For real??? I thought Saturday's show was their last until July.

no one can resist the privates

I guess I can take my time getting out to Murfreesboro now.

I know that you meant that in a light-hearted way and that's ok; but after getting my hands on some of their recent demos, I really like this band. They have some extremely catchy songs and (in my opinion) have come a very long way since I saw them for the first time over a year ago. I think that Don Sergio is an amazing drummer, and they have some great guitar hooks as well.

Anyway, I'd say that diss is fairly unjust, Carl. They're no Lume.

Honestly, I've just never been moved by their music. They all seem like really nice guys, though, and I wish them lots of luck.

They remind me of De Novo Dahl when I first saw them. They seem to be in a phase where it takes a few shows for a listener to get accustomed to their music.

I was bowled over by De Novo Dahl the first time I saw them as a full band.

It definitely took me three or four shows. As of late, I don't think that the same amount of time is necessary for new listeners. Their set is a lot stronger now than it was a year and a half ago. And, it was pretty good then.

The jury is still out on GRS for me. I have the demos and just bought Bang!, and I still believe they're a band I can get into. Time will tell.

I went to the Features/GRS show a while back and someone gave me a free Bang! CD and I love it. I listen to it all the time. I'm going to try and make the show. And I saw the flyers today. That's slick.

So, who all is going tonight? I'll be there but I'll be wearing a trenchcoat, sunglasses and a sticker that says "Not The Features Troll," so no one will be able to spot me.

Hopefully, I'll be able to make it. I'll be wearing a gray T-shirt, brown shorts, and black and white addidas. And tons of makeup.

Don't go too heavy on the mascara...you know how it clumps.

You're preaching to the choir, sister!

One of my sister's friends told her that the Features were playing there tonight. I'm assuming that it was a simple misunderstanding b/c rollum is in the band, but I've heard the ole "you know what happens you you assume things" addage about 80x this week and was just checking to see if maybe they weren't headlining or openening... I'm sure most of the band is prolly sick of doing shows now, but it wouldn't really SHOCK me either way.

The Features aren't playing.

Are you sure? Because I heard they were.

Quite.

See, now I don't know whether to believe you or joeywade.

ceeze! i saw you and wanted to talk to you and see how you liked the show! but you left so soon!!!!! did you have a date with a book to get to or something?

Pretty good show... I always thought RR was a weird venue though... and I still do...

It was nice finally meeting Richard Dawson...

and who let the almost 16 year old Uma in?!?!?!

i just want to say that the second new song they played (song 2) is the most badass song in the world. so badass that they should've played it twice.

The message board member I was with was feeling ill. Not to mention, the paper she had to write when she got home. If I had known your intention to speak to me, I would have told Erica to fuck off and wait. As for how I liked the show, I was very conflicted about it, even though I enjoyed the music. On one hand, I would have liked the vocals to have actually been audible, however, then I would have had to listen to Dave. It is a conundrum.

Although I couldn't enjoy the vocals, I could definitely appreciate that haircut! Looks like someone is trying to break free of being in "that band with all the pageboy haircuts".

This was a mediocre Privates show at best. I don't think the Red Rose is worthy of these guys.

I almost like them now.

When you have a week to book a show, you gotta do what you gotta do.

what a cinco de mayo! i had fun. i'm glad they played the red rose or i would have died without ever seeing the privates PLAY. i think ryan adams was there.

That was just Carl in sunglasses...

seriously! there was a guy who i spent an hour staring at and i still dont know if it was him or not.

and here I was getting creeped out you were staring at my butt.... geeeeesh

hey. i was in FRONT of you.

I saw that elaborate mirror system you had set up....

There was a dude at The Features show at MTSU that I would have sworn was the guy from Queens of the Stone Age had he been six inches taller.

I dig the new haircut, Rachel.

thank you! courtney cut it. if i had seen you i would have shouted you a holla.

Ah yes, welcome to the club. That's our very own Courtney Krampf at Salon Ya Ya, folks. Check her out (and tell her that Carligula sent ya).

Ditto. Very cute.

For someone who talks so much shit about dave, you sure seem to have a certain love for a certain Esposito song that happens to be downloaded to your computer. How bout a copy of that while I am thinking to ask?

thank you, token!

teeeheehehe.

oh carl, trying to snatch all the new people for your list-o-referrals. i think i just need to give everyone on the features message board that comes to see me a 10% discount. it's getting hard to keep up with all you kids. i really appreciate all the business and support you guys.
thank you.

and btw, rach, i saw you, but there were 49393 people between us. and then you were gone. oh well.

and i agree with my sissy...that 2nd new song was pretty much the best thing EVER. go privates go!

hell yes! it was fucking awesome.

I have one lame comment and that is all - Dave got all Rapture/Gang of Four on the guitar at the beginning of Pocari Sweat. it was badass.
