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?

Ya, I hear ya. I said something a while ago when the tour listed for the first time. Shocked nothing around here. Not only do I see them here for Boston and Providence, but I've been going to the New York shows the last 3 years. So hope they post a date soon. I figure it could be because they tored turn the venues they used to play on Landsdowne St and built a huge house of Blues. Maybe HOB doesnt want them to play there or they are all booked. But the Roxy is still avalible. I dont know, but got my fingers crossed.
