It’s a tiny picture below, so here are the relevant details…
THE DIRTBOMBS (Motor City)
THEE LEXINGTON ARROWS (Charm City)
FOUL SWOOPS (South Arlington!!)

Rock & Roll Hotel, $14
Truly awesome show. I mean, motherfucking Dirtbombs? Come on!
“Shot In the Dark” by Foul Swoops
Live at Comet Ping Pong on May 7, 2011
This is the jam.
Recorded on my phone, so, y’know.
Coming soon on the new Foul Swoops record.
“Soon”
Love that spin move by Sean at 1:48.
Slick.
Busy day tomorrow. First up is Punk Rock Flea Market II: Spring Cleaning and Skill Sharing at St. Stephen’s Church. This is where you can: 1) Buy stuff (last time there was everything from vegan cookies to vibrators), 2) share a skill (potentially, but not certainly, involving those two things) and 3) enjoy live music from both Foul Swoops and America Hearts, as well as the most-excellent Deleted Scenes. Doors open at 12:30 p.m.; music starts with Foul Swoops at 2 p.m. If Swoops don’t have a cover “Others Way” up their sleeves for this show on the 7th of May, I’ll be disappointed. It costs just $3.
Then later in the evening Foul Swoops will be bringing the rock again, this time at Comet Ping Pong. They will be opening for Apache Dropout, who remind me of Dancing Cigarettes, that kind of weirdo-damaged Indiana post-whatever. Learn more about them in this interview with Marc Masters on Pitchfork. That starts at 10:30, and costs just $10.
And even more news coming soon because America Hearts are going on tour … stay tuned!
(Is it cool or lame that I know the image in the bottom right is Beck on the cover of Rolling Stone from 1997?)
Foul Swoops - “Not That Funny”
Live last night at Velvet Lounge. Thanks to Nate for the video.
I think Jacky from Thee Lolitas summed up the show nicely:
“The best point of last night’s show was when devin took ten minutes to tune his guitar while facing his (rather large) ass at the audience with his underwear peeking, when he started playing the guitar was STILL OUT OF TUNE!
PUNK ROCK!”
Hey look, I made a Yeah Gates Bandcamp. You can listen to all four songs by America Hearts and Foul Swoops over there. And some other stuff, once I figure out how to work the damn thing.
