I used to live about 5 minutes walk from that location in Vermont's armpit: Winooski. When it opened I fantasized that SY would play there.

That show is gonna be mental!

(((( ))))
 

Higher Ground is now in S. Burlington in a converted 4 screen movie theatre that got gutted and made into what it is now. The Winooski version of the club closed in '04 and was bulldozed down for redevelopment.

It's new and improved.

------------------------------
and according to the facts, SY have never performed in the state of Vermont

No kidding! I think I know the movie theater you talk about. I guess its walkable from campus and Handy Court. I sort of recall them talking about ripping down that strip mall and putting up some cheap housing? There was a really groovy park behind there along the river I used to cross country ski thru.

The Venue's on Williston Road....are you talking about UVM? I think it's a couple miles from that campus. Not sure if that the theatre ur talkn' bout... but it's not ornate think a more modern Irving Plaza without the balcony. Better sound, better green room(s) (one is red and has a oil painting of 2PAC Shakur) and the staff there is pro...

But yeah Winooski that shopping center is no more. The new space is really great. Two venue's in one. Two big bars in the main room, the sound design solid, its a free standing venue with huge parking lot and across the parking lot is a store that sells local honey.

What is the Chinese New Year's Day in Year 2007?
February 18, 2007 is the first day of the Chinese new year.

Quite the tempting road trip.

Close to sold out?
 

Close to sold out?
How close?

Woohoo! Ticket is got!

By the way, if the show sells out and some unlucky SY fan is denied, I have bought an extra ticket that I'd be happy to turn over for the purchase price ($25). I'll be checking this thread regularly. Noise idols forever. Peace.

New York, Webster Hall is soldout and the HigherGround maxes out at 750 and its about 2hrs away from Montreal so i'm surprised its not already soldout. monday night at higher ground is a comedy open mic which could easily be bumped to add a second night> > >

why?

is this an eco thing? or is there a planned snow ball fight planned in the empty lot?

oh, and afterparty?

eco thing? maybe...no really to out hippie the hippies that frequent Higher Ground, to draw attention to an actual good show being booked there, but mostly for FUN.

afterparty is the walk back downtown.

Aaaaaaggghhhhh!

I'm freaking out!

I need a strong dose of... noise!!!

Sonic Youth in Burlington tonight!

Bang your fucking head!

good luck vermont
 

Breathe. Calm down. I did some polling last night around Church and Main and the results are shocking. The freak out level of Vermont is dangerously low. The chances that there will be mass hysteria and pass outs-a-plenty midset tonight are a given.

afforemention walk to sonic youth party cancelled due to lots of snow. hopefully we would have created some sort of freaking out and excitement, but i think we will experience freaking out nontheless, i for one am REALLY EXCITED. my hearts been racing all day and i cant sit down. i feel like a lot of people i have talked to are EXTREMELY AMPED
pray they do World Looks Red!

some mohawks, some dreads, some baldies

At both of the other SY shows I attended the band cleared off the stage one-by-one or in pairs, leaving only Jim and Thurston and then Lee, Jim, and Thurston at the other one.

This feels closer to the spirit of jazz improv. For example, when Matthew Shipp came in early 2005, he and William Parker eventually stopped during the encore leaving only Guillermo E. Brown playing (by throwing his drumsticks at the kit) for ten minutes or so to close the show.

Oh yeah, Sunday came and Sunday went, and Rather Ripped sounds even better live!

Thurston: "Beer-pot?"
