funny you mention wolf eyes, they are playing here in two weeks, they are playing a venue that's hosting cat power and coheed and cambria later on and has hosted stuff tones of fusion jazz and stuff. in short, it's a huge place.
that they brought wolf eyes to this venue means that they must expect to fill it. and to clarify, i have never seen a wolf eyes cd on a record store here, nor have a seen them mentioned in a national magazine or anything; in fact, i might know personally 20 people who know them, but then again, i don't know everybody who listens to sonic youth in mexico.

yes, but the noise scene in michigan is one of the worst in the world, completely insular, very much driven by ego and nepotistic as fuck...some guy drops in to a sick llama gig and smoke dope with lambsbread and all of a sudden you see his releases talked by everybody and getting glowing reviews in scenes...and why? because he is from michigan and hang out with wolf fucking eyes.
like this dude here who makes hundreds of dollars by buying every american tapes/hanson/gods of tundra/aryan asshole/fag tapes release that comes out and then waits for a couple of months to sell it on ebay to people he knows alreaady have said releases. i wish i was making stuff up.
