Read The List! Shows of note as of 8/15/96 All content copyright 1996 Andy Lester. Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATES/CORRECTIONS ------------------- Boy, am I glad I don't like Slayer. Their show at Metro has been moved to the Riv, meaning additional tickets are now available. What sounded like a charming little intimate evening with Slayer now sounds positively pointless. GRIFTERS' SECRET SHOW --------------------- A couple of people have asked about a secret Grifters' show at Empty Bottle. Here are the pieces that I see: This week's Reader has a Tower Records ad for the latest Grifters album, and it says "Appearing at the Empty Bottle Aug 16 & 17", and I sure as heck haven't heard of "The Pump Action Retards", listed as playing the Empty Bottle Prom on the 17th. Sounds to me like Grifters fans who show up on Saturday won't be disappointed. Empty Bottle says that this year's theme for prom is "The Love Boat. Dress accordingly." NEW INNOVATIONS AT THE READER ----------------------------- Look at the Reader's Early Warnings column this week. It's like a little Shows List, and to be fair, I use it as one of my sources. This week, they have little symbols before each listing! One is for "new listing", and the other is for "updated or revised listing". Kinda like "*" and "+" here, eh? If they have "Guess The Lyrics" next week, I'm callin' a lawyer. GUESS THE REFERENCE (last week) ------------------------------- The "we like the punk and the metal bands" is from "Walk Like An Egyptian" by The Bangles. Best entry was from Chris Korose: while i was still in college, there was this big guy named Russ who lived down the hall-- a professional kickboxer, he was, when not in school. i was never quite sure what he studied-- i'm sure it wasn't anything particularly earth-shattering, though he was known to throw knives at his dorm room walls on occaision... so i vaguely remember Russ telling me a story one time, about how he was 12 years old and had the opportunity to meet the lead singer of the Bangles, who sing that "walk like an egyptian" song and whatnot... according to Russ, all he could do was stare at her bare naked leg, strategically perched up on a chair, just below his eye-level. "you have nice legs," said the young Russ. "you can touch it if you want," replied the singer, whose name eludes me, in a round-about-way referring to the aforementioned, perched leg... Her name is Susanna Hoffs, of course. Random winner (out of 9) this week is the Shows List's own Liz Clayton. Woo-woo! Winners, mail me your snail-mail addresses. GUESS THE REFERENCE (this week) ------------------------------- This one is a curveball. I hope it doesn't stump everyone, but you guys have come up with answers to stuff I thought was obscure before. Nobody ever said the references had to be sung. You all know the rules: Mail your guess for song & artist to <shows@tezcat.com>. Put "GUESS" in the subject line. Two prizes of a Shows List Dollar will be awarded: one for best entry, and one randomly picked from all correct entries. CONTACT INFORMATION ------------------- Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>. For subscriptions, tell me where you found out about us, and whether you'd like date or venue order.
