Im befuzzled. You did what now?

edit: and bloc party

Absolutely fabulous. Bloc Party are excellent. I didn't realise they were playing in the States already.

I think I'm going nuts but I don't even dislike Bloc Party (can't say I'm like, into them or anything though.) I'm afraid for my sanity, next thing you know I'm going to be wearing girl pants and a white belt.

Anyway, how much are the tickets? And is it just them, or do you have to see them opening for some shit band? Last I heard Eisley was going on tour with Newfound Glory, and I don't want to have anything to do with that.

Seriously though dude... you're smart enough to post this in the music forum, aren't you? ;D

April 1st I'm seeing Bloc Party, and April 4th I'm seeing Eisley.

Yeah Eisley is playing at a New Found Glory concert which kind of blows, the tickets were about $19.

I'm stoked about Bloc Party though; I fucking love them at the moment. I was surprised that they were coming to my town, and they're performing at a shit run down concert hall place. It�ll probably get crazy. I want to hug Kele.

I didn't think a FAO belonged in the music section. : /

Tight girly pants feel retro. Get the stretchy type.

im seeing eisley when they come to covington. and i get to pass out shit since im on their street team. (points points points)

crystal sword or whatever is into eisley as well.

i remember this one guy i went to school with dressed up as fred from scooby once and those bright blue pants were so tight they cut into his flesh. **drool**

I don't know why they would tour with NFG though. :(

edit: Alice you're a trend starter, imo.

Yeah, the NFG thing makes no sense whatsoever. I'd probably consider seeing them if not for that, but also I am strongly opposed to paying more than $10 for a show. Though I have been known to make exceptions for shows I REALLY want to go to.

Maybe if they do another tour with a more reasonable band I'll go. I can't stomach the thought of actually going to an NFG-headlined show. You should let us know how the show is, anyway. I'm curious as to whether they would stick around and talk to the fans afterwards.

And Bloc Party played at a place I go to in Philli semi-frequently, and I thought about going, because what I've heard of them so far has been pretty catchy, but I don't think it would've been worth it.


Also, it is really nice to finally have a thread in here where people are saying more than "lol metallica rox"

Tegan and Sara and The Killers are going to be playing on my birthday at the nearest venue. I need to find someone to go with. That would be pretty amazingly nifty to go to though.

Pull a TK and go by yourself if you have to. =\

aw. i wish i could go to that snazzy concert hogan! orgasmic, imho.

i dont know why eisley is touring with nfg either. o well!

relestial: trend starter, eh? well... ... ...maybe. Maybe.

bloc party is gr8 <3

Take me!

i got an email from tegan and sara and they arent coming anywhere near me =(

Figured I'd give this Eisley band a listen on their website player thinger; see what all the fuss is about. I really liked 'Golly Sandra' - reminded me of the country-leaning Weakerthans songs, plus it has a really cool vocal melody. 'Lost at Sea' was okay. 'Telescope Eyes' was meh, but also okay by the 2nd listen.

So yeah, they're not bad!


(Also, GreyMenace, I like your sig. One of my favourite songs.)

You gotta listen to Marvelous Things.

That's the song that always hooks everybody. There's a video for it on the site.

crystal sword or whatever is into eisley as well.
:( Anyways I like Eisley too. First link in my sig is Eisley and the second one is Tegan and Sara.

i forget peoples nicks!

I hate going to concerts alone it's just weird and I can't get comfortable unless I'm hopped up on something. If I'm forced to go alone, I'll invite a female. (pay for her ticket) ;)

if you pay for her ticket, its a date!

I'm just nice like that.

Shameless flirt, i'd say ;)

i know why they are touring with nfg glory now!


Graham: So how did you all end up on a tour with New Found Glory and Reggie and the Full Effect? I mean they don�t strike me as obvious tour mates for you all.

Sherri: Yeah, they don�t really strike me as that either, but I don�t know�their band [note: New Found Glory]�we haven�t even met them actually yet, I guess we�ll meet them next week when we start the tour. They just are like big big supporters of our band, and I guess they begged our label to let us go on tour with them. They�ve been really pushing us. They sent an email out to all their fans, really pushing our album. So they have been really behind us, so we thought it would be cool. It�s going to be a lot of shows and a lot of kids�

I wish I could go with you. I would if it wasn't a 32 hour busride away.

They're not playing any dates out here. :(

Eisley and Bloc Party are the new hip bands to like. Give it a month or two and everyone'll forget about them.

Tegan and Sara are sold out. :(

Weird. None of the Eisley videos run on my computer, except for 'Tree Tops' which loads really slowly. :(

There isn't some other place where they might be up for streaming?

Where are you streaming them from?

@mmm: no one i know knows (<--what a funny thing to say) who eisley is unless i have told them. i dont see how they are the new trend.

@hogan: scalpers!

Try using the link in my sig. I think it works. (But there are only four songs. Telescope eyes, I wasn't prepared, Lost at Sea, and Golly Sandra).

Ah, the links in both Alice and crystal swords sigs worked. I was just going to the videos through eisley.com before.

But yeah, I got to see/hear 'Marvellous Things', the one TK said hooked everybody. I thought it was okay, probably one of their better songs I've heard, but 'Golly Sandra' is still the only one I really like.

http://www.orangegoldandgreen.com/ has a lot of their songs too. my personal faves are they all surrounded me and blackened crown. you can try that site too.

I just listened to "Marvelous Things" and it wasn't bad at all.

Not necessarily what I would normally listen to, but I'm always open to new things.

Eisley reminds me a lot of some other band. I'll probably never figure out who, I listen to too many girl singers/bands.

But yeah. They're alright. There's nothing that I disliked about them, but nothing that really grabbed me.

I listen to music like this a lot though, so maybe they'll grow on me if I sneak a few songs onto my playlist.

I thought some of the other songs on their site were better then Marvelous Things though, personally. :)

At first listen, they actually reminded me a little of the Cranberries. At least vocally.

The more I compare both bands, though, the more I realize that they don't really sound alike at all.

mrmonkeyman: Eisley and Bloc Party are the new hip bands to like. Give it a month or two and everyone'll forget about them.

Thanks for your contribution mrmonkeyman.

Not really. Bloc Party has actually been around for a couple of years, and it's just now that their music is being heard. So they're not new. And I would consider myself very lucky if I found someone who knew Bloc Party in a 10 mile radius, especially here in the states. As for Eisley, I myself didn't know who they were until Alice introduced me to them a while back. I don't see how these two bands are the "It" bands at the moment. I can't account for the UK, but I know that they're underrated, and under exposed here in the states. I highly doubt these bands will die out within the next couple of months. Most likely the opposite will happen, because they are in fact very talented, and original.

Also out of curiosity have you even listened to any of their songs? Or are you just making a clich� statement toured this, because a few of us enjoy this music?

I would say he is doing the latter of the two. Just a hunch. In my back. Like Quasimodo. "Sanctuary!"

Clearly, liking Eisley is just a bandwagon that a bunch of folks are hopping onto. I mean, just look at the overwhelming response in this thread.

Dunno about Eisley, but I heard Bloc Party are "the next big thing". Needless to say BP are a very good band.

4-5 people with decent taste in music, discover an "indy" band through a FF Forum, then become fans. You seem to use that term (bandwagon) lightly.

I'm pretty positive TK was being sarcastic.

His impression and mood on the subject was clearly made, ridiculing it or not.

I am quite certain you are the only person who took it that way.

Have you actually read the thread or what? The majority of the people who've posted in it about checking out the band have said stuff like "they're okay but I wouldn't make a habit of listening to them or anything." Direct your venom at MMM, not me. I'm on your side. Yeesh.

I�m going to start putting hearts at the end of my posts, because they come off as so hostile to you people.

<3

;_;

'kay, I don't get it, but it's all good.

It sucks my Windows Media Player crapped out on me so I can't listen to any other new songs by Eisley on the Internet. :(

I think I am going to try to go to the not sold out Tegan and Sara/Killers concert in Milwaukee since I have a good in excuse in going to Milwaukee for that very weekend. UW-Milwaukee is having a big special vist day so I can check out one of the colleges high on my list and go see Tegan and Sara.

lucky bastard.

Yeah, so I'm seeing Eisley tonight. Yup. I'm pretty stoked.

They supposedly like to linger around the merchandise table after their set and sometimes after the other bands' sets. be on the lookout for them! they will talk to you, let you take pics with them, and sign shit!

have fun. ^__^

I'm totally going for a kiss if I do meet them.

haha. sherri (the one with the short hair) has a boyfriend just so you know and im pretty sure they are all uber-strict christians, so try not to offend them too much. =)

Do you really get the impression that they're uber-strict? I always imagined them as kinda liberal, hip Christians. But who knows.

I would like a group hug from all of them. ^________________________^

Eisley are completely unknown over here. Not really a fan, but I would hardly call them hip.

Eh, I dunno about these new indie bands. The only of them who I really liked, and liked a lot, were Franz, basically because I'm a big fan of Gang of Four anyways. I guess Bloc Party et al seems kind of trendy-ish to me, but it could be that I'm not really into them, more than anything.

Eisley was a fucking blast. I didn't meet them (oh well). But I met other people, a lot of Jesus fans were there. I loved it. Good Times. Also there were a lot of fucking weird people, and I was one of the only black kids there. : (

PM me for details.

I really don't like Bloc Party at all. =/

It seems like everyone I know is into them, and I kind of wish I did like them so that I would have something to contribute to the conversation.

I'm pretty sure Eisley is mostly unknown over here too.

I didn't mean hip as in it's hip to like them, I mean like they're hip kids. Hip in the good sense.

I can listen to Bloc Party if somebody wants to put it on, but I don't really see what's so special about them.

I can't really get into Bloc Party either. I find the vocals pretty dull in most of the songs I've heard. They aren't bad, just meh.

But in other news, Eisley seems to gradually grow on me like a HIP FUNGUS. I think they're better once you get to learn the melodies and lyrics.

Represent. \m/ \m/

i won't get to see them now. i have to work on a play that night ;_;

A lot of those kids were fags. Sorry to hear that. : (

<3

can you find yourself in that crowd?

Relestial, where do you live?

I was by the local radio station booth thingy, I don't think you can see it(far left, almost above the stage), I moved around a lot, I was on the main floor toured the end. Yo, N-d-i -- PM.

if you can find yourself you win an eisley cd and a new found glory one i think. or something like that.

I already have it. And NFG is gay. I hit u up tonight k.

Did they put the X on your hand to show that you paid or something? 'cause it looks like you're a straightedge hardcore kid, which is funny what with who you were going to see. :D

haha. i don't know, new found glory is pretty crazy sometimes!

Did they put the X on your hand to show that you paid or something? 'cause it looks like you're a straightedge hardcore kid, which is funny what with who you were going to see. :D
No, and no. I <3 Eisley, I'm not hardcore, I'm mellow. Ask Ali.

So why's the X on your hand? =O

For some reason I though you said did they mark your hand to show you're hardcore, or something. I think it's quite obvious what the mark was for.

Okay! That clears up my confusion.

haha.

Isn't straightedging just like, not drinking/smoking/doing drugs? I didn't know the hardcore bit came into it.

"Straight edge" has taken on a broader meaning, but the original sense of the term (and one that still exists quite widely) was a hardcore scene made up of people who all shunned those things, and also listened to hardcore. It was sort of inspired by the 80s hardcore band Minor Threat (incidentally, one of the best bands ever!), as the whole no drinking/smoking/getting high/fucking thing was a big theme in their music, and specifically by one of their most popular and well known songs which was actually called Straight Edge, and that's what coined the term. Ian MacKaye didn't write it with the intention of coining a term or setting off a subsubculture (and in fact he hates it when people think of him as the guy who started straight edge, he doesn't really want anything to do with it) but for better or for worse he did it. Personally I think straight edge is pretty cool, even though a lot of kids who are into it are real assholes who think anybody who smokes, drinks, gets high, or fucks is inferior.

Having Xs tatooed onto the backs of your hands is a symbol of being a straight edger. It's cool looking, but kind of silly.
