OK, please tell me why SY arent touring the New England area! Are they crazy? Tennessee gets 2 shows and all of NE gets zip? First Dinosaur Jr snubbs us and now Sonic Youth. Not cool. I have to drive 200 miles to see them now. Thats fucked up. Seriously, half of the band lives in Massachusetts already.
New England, especially Boston, has supported them for a long while now and to be left out for some fucking southerners really offends me. I mean, I just dont get it. It's not like it's hard for a legendary band like Sonic Youth to get a gig in Massachusetts; Boston, Cambridge, Northampton, Easthampton, Amherst and Worcester are all big college communites and have large numbers of alt-rock fans with enough SY fans among them to warrant us even a quick one night visit. But no, we were snubbed for fuckin Royal Oak, Michigan (a town that I've never even heard of with a total population of 60k), Birmingham, Alabama (which I'm almost positive still believes that the War Betwixt the States still rages on) and Tulsa, Oklahoma, a place more associated with football and fag-drags than noise-rock.
So thank you, Sonic Youth for literally turning your backs on your OWN BACK YARD and leaving all of New England holding their dicks in their hands. You are responsible for my rock and roll blue balls.
p.s. If SY end up touring in New England just ignore this post and lets all just pretend like this never happens, see?
