saw them today at an instore and the album is supposed to come out in the fall.
had a front row seat right at sumara's feet. got to talk to steve for a few minutes after the show. i talked to thurston for a bit at a sxsw ten years ago, so i really wanted to meet steve this time. he was really nice of course. we talked about this forum a little bit and their next album. mostly tried to pump him for information about that and he said they didnt know what they were going to do for a label with it.
mike watt was there too with joe baiza and i resisted the urge to ask thurston to imitate mike eating nachos. in a quiet moment i shouldve just said "if i go to a booze joint they better have squid."
the kid from bully and hedwig was in the audience too and he was really excited to meet them. i was surprised there werent more people there. only about 50 or so. thurston actually ended up playing five separate times at this sxsw.
