because
a) just because there are bars open doesn't mean that there will be a crowd. there will be blip attendees possibly, but people get tired after five days of non-stop partying.
b) at this point, it's less than a month from the fest. no reason to toss together a show at a low-quality spot that would sound bad just because it's open.
c) just because everyone is in town, not everyone needs to play a show.
so yeah, if bros can't be satiated by almost a week of shows (three days of which happen to be from 8-1 am, two of which appear to be free [if hexawe is not than correct me, but it's still worth it]), then i don't know what to tell you. why not just go 100%+ for everything that's happening instead of trying to extend everything? people are going to be raging all night whether or not the shows are done, so just rage proper!

yeah, solid. yeah, gonna be here. wishing starpause was on this, but i'm in no position to complain about this rad fucking bill. STOKED 4 PIGZ

fixd

okay, gonna go down the line.
first of all, there isn't a whole lot in your original post to suggest that you were joking. dry sarcasm doesn't really work on the internet.
second of all, i got in touch with luke specifically because he's the only one in st paul that i personally have spent time with and can call a friend of mine. i think you and i have exchanged words once at blip08 when i told you that your set was awesome. pretty sure that's all. we're under no obligation to get in touch with everyone in the chip scene when we go on tour; i kinda figure that people are checking these forums to see where these tours that people post about are actually coming. it's not like we're shunning the community or something like that, i just reached out to a bro because he's my bro. feel free to talk to me irl at blip and i'm sure i'll be more likely to hit you up when we come back.
FURTHERMORE, we actually had NO control over who was opening for these shows, it was all set up through peelander's booking agent. it's not like we don't want to have our friends opening for us everywhere we go, but like i said, we're not in a real position to make this our ideal tour, we're a supporting band and definitely not rock stars.
third of all, no one in guchi is disregarding that vocals comment or getting hurt over it. don't think for a second we haven't thought of it or aren't trying new stuff. we're more than open to suggestions, opinions are always valid, but like i said, sarcasm is pretty fucking weird on the internet. anything would be more appreciated or come off better when it's more than "you need a vocalist. sing, pussies." i wouldn't call you out for telling me something like that when it's not expressed in an insulting way, so yeah.
and just for the sake of argument, mogwai, explosions in the sky, battles all sell out huge places regularly. (okay, battles isn't instrumental, but they're definitely not vocal-oriented.) if it's good enough, it won't need vocals, but they sure do fucking help.
so word, no one on my end is being a child about this, dude. shouldn't have had to write something this long, but fuck it. serious internets is srs. maybe just make an effort at not sounding extremely passive-aggressive next time someone doesn't give you a call regarding a chip show in your town.

sorry, just want to clear this up. are you insulted because we came to st paul and forgot to bump the thread? if so, sorry about that. it's been a hectic few days.

also, not sure where this antagonistic stuff is coming from. we're not "rock stars"; we're five dudes in a fucking van on tour who played first of three last night. to be honest, not even sure exactly which part of this you're bitter about. if you want to talk shit on me and my band, feel free to do it thru pm from now on.

so in order to avoid this problem againMILWAUKEE SEE YOU TONIGHT
