TWoL 95: Chicken Waaaaangs!

Listen to Episode 95

We have Steve, Nick, and Emilie this week. Emilie is back on the carnivore side and has kicked the veggie lifestyle to the curb, hence our episode title for the week. Chicken waaangs are an amazing thing in everyday life but after you haven’t had them for a year? You better believe they are amazing.

But I digress, on to this weeks news. Let’s start with Trey news as there was a few things this week. Trey has announced an Orchestra Tour with three dates in Feb and one in March spread across the country. He’s also  recording a new solo album with the members of TAB and has noted he will be “taking a whole new direction” for this album, whatever that means. The TWoL crew is divided on whether or not this will be a good album. Personally I think it will work out in the end but only time will tell.

Moving along to Phish news, Watkins Glen track official Ryan Lake has announced that the venue will focus on racing events for 2012 so no return for a festival this year. While not shocking that Phish is not playing there again so soon, it doesn’t mean they won’t return in the future. The majority of TWoL attend Superball so we’re really hoping for a return sometime in the future. In our last bit of Phish news we would like to point out the many after-shows for each night of the MSG run. If you managed not to wook-out at the main event we hope to see you late night!

Even though it’s nearly winter there is still some festival news this week. All Good has announced they will move from their WV location to Legend Valley in Ohio. Legend Valley (formerly Buckeye Lake) has hosted many amazing bands, festivals, and concerts over the years. In a period where most festivals only last a short time TWoL gives kudos to All Good for 16 years of jamband love.

As of right now Jam Cruise 10 takes off in 39 days and if you don’t have your tickets well you’re pretty screwed cause it’s sold out. But…not to fret! Jam Cruise 11 prebooking starts Dec 1st so you can always go next time!

We received a few voicemails this week, thanks to all who took the time to leave one. Don’t forget the number is 419-NO-WOOKS program it in your phone!

Thank you to everyone that supports us and we’ll see you next week on lot!

Listen to Episode 92

This week, Steve, Emilie and Katie tackled the big news of the day:  YEMSG lottery emails have arrived!!  Of course we were all big losers.  But someone out there must have gotten tickets right?  Congrats to the winners and please share the wealth!  And don’t forget about public on sale Saturday October 29th at noon.

If you were a winner or a loser in the lottery you should still check out the great after shows happening NYE weekend.  Bisco announced that they are playing December 28th late night so that they wouldn’t conflict with Phish.  Check out the details for that and the rest of their NYE run here.  Also for all you late night folks, Wyllys will be bringing his NY Hustler Ensemble (featuring the lovely and talented Jennifer Hartswick and Natalie Cressman) to Sullivan Hall for an after show on the 31st.  We also discussed a rumor about a possible Marco Benevento after show on December 29th.  Keep your eyes peeled for an official announcement kids!

Next, Steve filled us in on TAB’s October 12th show at the Wellmont.  He found it to be a great show for a $20 ticket with straightforward Trey rock.  And in the Ticket Check we learned that you can still see them at the Tabernacle on November 11th for cheap!  Also in Ticket Check, scalpers and crazy people are already posting YEMSG tickets for sale despite the fact that lottery announcements just started rolling in.  At least wait for public onsale people…  And finally, Jamcruise is sold out, sorry folks!  But give a shout out to Steve and Noob Laura on the boat!

Looking ahead we checked out Mr. Miner’s long awaited book release.  Railroad Earth is also doing a sweet Thanksgiving weekend in Stroudsburg, PA full of bluegrass, art, poetry and food.

Emilie has been a busy girl up in Boston and gave us recaps on Little Dragon at the Royale and The Low Anthem at the Somerville Theater.  She’s looking forward to Blizten Trapper, Dawes, and Dark Star Orchestra.  Steve and Katie will be hitting up the Lawn Boys this weekend in NYC for some epic Halloween show action.

That’s all she wrote this week.  Go catch some shows and leave us lot reports:  419-NO-WOOKS.  ‘Til next time, peace!

- Katie

TWoL 90: and Nick’s at furthur…. so… there’s that.

Listen to Episode 90

Steve, Katie and Steve discussed the brah who got beat down on lot in Colorado for simply selling his wares.  The Denver Westword wrote a long piece detailing the facts, laws, etc. Do you have a good Phish lot confiscation story?  Leave us a voicemail: 419-NO-WOOKS.

Next up:  All Trey all the time!  TAB tour began this week with a benefit at Higher Ground for Hurricane Irene victims.  They debuted two new songs and the show is available on LivePhish for all those who can’t wait for AUDs.  This week Trey hits the Carolinas and Maryland.  Check out the Ticket Rundown for prices near you.

Jam Cruise announced its Theme Nights:  Mothership Masquerade, Go Green and Yacht Club.  Get your creative costume juices flowing!  And for those of you still on the fence, only 35 cabins left.

Next up TWoL’s shows for the week.  Toonces hit WSP, with an unsurprisingly questionable crowd.  Of course, he fit right in.   He also hit PGroove with listener @RickRoth3.  And finally, Dayglow – body paint, neon lights and DJs.  What else could you ask for?

In the meantime, Steve and Katie hit Conspirator at Brooklyn Bowl.  Steve says it was his favorite Conspirator show – The Wall/Shakedown mash-up was a highlight!  Katie followed that up the next night by a show by the London Souls at Brooklyn Bowl, a NYC band who has a modern take on the 70’s – if you like Hendrix or Zeppelin, check them out.

And finally, just ‘cause the Phish isn’t touring doesn’t mean there isn’t fall music.  Check out Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Railroad Earth and the Cactus himself.

That’s it for this TWoL.  Looking forward to Emily’s return next week and hoping that Nick doesn’t get seduced by Wooks with crystals and promises of free heady grilled cheese for life…

Peace!

Katie

 

 

TWoL 76: Why aren’t you watching the Stream?

Listen to Episode 76

(Note: please excuse the low end hum that is present on the audio. I apologize in advance, and will work on fixing for next week. Thanks - Steve)
 

What’s shaking, kids?  TWoL comes at you this week as summer tour is in full swing, and we waste no time getting down to the nitty gritty.  While we were bringing you the goods last night, Noob Laura was on the scene in Great Woods with her Noob Mom.  And speaking of moms, Steve fills us in on the PNC shows, where UnoMom got her phirst taste of the band on night 2.  She was impressed by the Chuck Norris look-alike on guitar and was quite the trooper.  You go UnoMom!
 
We got a sultry dose of Emilie this week as she gave us her thoughts on the Bethel run.  Magical sums it up nicely.  She waxed poetic on the benefits of being a Bethel Woods member, the lush lawn, friendly staff, and tidy bathrooms.  Basically, don’t sleep on tour openers, especially if their in Bethel!
 
Moving forward, we’ve got Camden and MPP up this weekend, where all of TWoL East will be in attendance.  There won’t be a mobile studio, but you can rest assured that we’ll be keeping you updated through the social media tronz and have a full recap for you next week.  A quick ticket check shows prices holding steady, and fairly low for some of the southern shows.  That might change soon, however.  Pro tip: always check the box office if you strike out in lot.  Also, we’ve discovered that if you already have tickets and there’s a re-release, you have a good chance at getting an upgrade via the box office or via phone.
 
There was a slew of voicemails this week.  Thanks for all the calls!  We’ll hear from a Rodney Dangerfield sound-alike, Mountain Jam, and the weekends shows.  Keep those lot reports coming!
 
Lastly, we got so caught up talking about the Phish that we just about ran out of time for other news:  
 
Long short, Camp Bisco VIP tickets are selling fast so don’t sleep on them.  Steve and Nobb Laura will there on the scene providing complete coverage. Be sure to say hi.
 
 Hidden Track is giving away two general admission tickets to Governor’s Ball in their “Everybody Wins When We Plug Something And In Return They Offer Us Free Shit To Give Away” program.  You can enter twice by leaving one comment on their webpage and another comment on their Facebook.  The contest ends on Monday, June 13th at 11:59am.  
 
Finally, we got an email from our friend M@ about a new program he was hoping to test at Great Woods, called Crowd Lights.  Basically you can download the app for Droid or Iphone, and you become the light show.  Theoretically, if everyone opens the app and faces their phones to the band, they get a light show from us.  Sounds pretty cool.  If you were in Mansfield, let us know if you saw the test and what you thought.  Neat.
 
See you on lot!

TWoL 65: Lousy Smarch Weather

Listen to Episode 65

This week TWoL is coming at you with a jam packed, 40 minute episode full of news, reviews and opinions skewed.

We start off with a review of Furthur at the Best Buy Theater from 3/13/11. I was in attendance for this show, and left pleasantly surprised. Moving to this more intimate venue from the monsterous MSG was definitely a good call. With emotions running high after the passing of Stanley “Bear” Owsley earlier in the day, the band definitely brought their “A” game. And adding Warren Haynes to almost all of the second set was welcomed by fans in the house that night.

Next we hit the standard Phish “Ticket Check”and discuss our views on the recent on-sale activities. With only 2 shows sold out, it looks like everyone who wants to get in this summer should be able to, and this is a good thing. Quite the 180 from last summer, but we feel a variety of factors contributed to this, which of course we discuss in detail.

Then we hit your Lot Reports, and there are some good ones this week. We always appreciate you guys calling, so keep hitting us up. 419-NO-WOOKS / 419-669-6657.

We did another venue review this week, tackling PNC Bank Arts Center, the 2 Steve’s home turf. Next week we will keep it moving with DTE Energy Music Theater.

Lastly, we run through some news of the week. GOTV added some artists we like to the lineup. At least 1 of us will be there, and hopefully we can provide a live show for you guys.  All Good has also released another round of artists. Finally, Mayan Holidaze goes on sale this week, and this guy just might finally pull the trigger.

Thanks for tuning in, we will catch you guys next Tuesday.

-Steve

Listen to Episode 55

Going live after midnight on the east coast, we thought it was only appropriate to title this episode “TWoL After Dark”. But we wanted to get in one last “normal” show of 2010, so we all grabbed a few drinks, and made it happen. Big ups to everyone in the chat room who stayed up late with us.

No big news this week on the jamband scene, so we hit you with all the standards; lot reports, ticket checks and whimsical banter. Don’t be hesitant on downloading this one however, it’s pure classic TWoL. Emilie saw a ton of music, Nick discusses the tap water situation in Vegas, and I play a lot of inappropriate sound bytes throughout. Some final advice before the Phish holiday run starts is given, and we fill everyone in on our plans for the same. Spoiler alert: WINE BAR!!!

Without a doubt, thanks to everyone who has been listening, whether from episode 1 or episode 54. We appreciate the support. We hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday, and we will see you guys on lot in Worcester.

Be good,

Steve

PS: Special thanks to friend of the show “fishinole1″ for a h3tty donation which we will put towards some stickers to hand out during this upcoming run.

Listen to Episode 53

Thanks to everyone who stuck around for the live stream we apologize for the late start. The TWoL networks’ other podcast typeII started a little late and caused a domino effect.

For anyone reading this after the live broadcast you can stream the recorded version above or subscribe in iTunes. However, make a note if you want to listen to the live show tune into this link at 6:30 pm EST for typeII and 9:30 pm for TWoL.

This week was a little slow so we spent sometime reviewing our Thanksgiving holidays and talking about upcoming shows we plan to attend. Nick is planning on attending the DSO show and Emilie is finally going to see Boombox.

We also introduce a new segment where we try and figure out what people were actually trying to find when they stumbled on our site. This weeks episode title was actually inspired by one of these searches!

Last but not least we run through your voicemails. Thank you to everyone who left us a voicemail, we can’t be everywhere all the time! Remember if you’re going to be on lot hit us up at 419-NO-WOOKS and give us a report.

Thank you again to all of our listeners, we’ll see you next week on lot!

TWoL 52: Don’t Text the Guy Streaming

Listen to Episode 52

Due to our holiday schedules this episode comes to you a day early and a host short. Yes it’s true we’re sans Emilie, but not to fear, long time TWoL correspondent Toonces fills the void. Emilie will be back next week once she gets back from her h3tty cruise.

First on the agenda this week is the review of the Trey show in Princeton. Steve and long time TWoL personality Noob Laura attended the show. Overall it was a really good show and someone how Steve managed to be seated next to one of the only wooks at the show. Even though the venue was really small there was definitely some open seats, you’ll have to listen to hear more details.

Steve also checked out Furthur in MSG on Saturday night. (Big ups to Jed Leckless for the tix.) Surprise surprise, Furthur shows have a level 10 crusty wook factor. I guess when you’ve been riding the tour train that long it’s hard to get off and take a shower. Overall the show was good, started strong but finished slow. To each their own.

Next up Toonces puts on a clinic of what types of beer are good for what types of lots. He also gives some advice on what to bring and how to sell if you’re going to try and make your gas money slanging beers on lot. There might be some fundamental changes in lot economics, this could be the death of 1 for $3 and 2 for $5 when it comes to beer. If you want the best sometimes you have to pay for it.

After that we run through a ticket check for the Phish holiday run. Looks like prices are holding steady or are rising. We also run through travel plans to and from the city for NYE. If you’re staying in Jersey we recommend using the PATH train unless you want to hang in NYC till 4:30 am. Take a listen to find out all of our travel tips.

Lastly we run through our voicemails for the week. Thank you to everyone who left a message! Remember we can’t be everywhere all the time so make sure to hit us up with your lot reports.

Thank you again everyone, we’ll see you next week on lot!

TWoL 44: It’s been a looooong night!

Welcome back everyone! No guest this week but we do have some site improvements and a new addition to the TWoL network to announce. First and foremost we added a calendar feature it’s under “The Schedule” on the right side of our page below the RSS feed. TWoL also has a new podcast going called type II cast, it’s all about music reviews and will contain a “panel of guests” on and off. Check it out it airs on Tuesday’s at 8 pm EST right before TWoL at 9:30 EST.

Tonight we broadcast on Monday as Nick has an important event tomorrow night, but hey at least you get to start your week off with an episode! First up we banter about what shows we did and didn’t see this last week. One listener who was at the same Perpetual Groove show as Steve learns a valuable lesson about wearing a raincoat if you’re going to buy nitrous. You’ll have to listen to find out the details. Steve also hit the LCD Soundsystem.

Next up we run through the exciting announcement about Phish running a 5 night New Years Run! Starting with 2 shows in Worcester, MA and finishing off in MSG with a show on 1.1.11 this run has a lot of promise. Phish is known for pulling some serious pranks/surprises, and some of us really hope the 1.1.11 brings a huge surprise.

We run a ticket check as we try to do anytime Phish or other jambands are on tour and surprisingly we find out that tickets are dropping steadily from last week. Hang tight phanners the prices are soon to be back to face or very close for the tougher shows.

The String Cheese Incident and The Disco Biscuits are performing a Halloween run at the Hampton Coliseum. Bring on the glitter, hoops, and untz! They’re dubbing it Hulaween, if you’re going to make a trip to this show make sure to leave us a lot report!

We’ve also got a tweetup scheduled for the Atlantic City Phish shows, feel free to swing by. It’s at the classiest place in AC, the Hooters Restaurant in the Tropicana Hotel. The good news is it’s close to the venue, less than a half mile walk and if you don’t like the food the scenery should be good. You can register for the tweetup here, if we get enough people signed up we will try to reserve a party room.

Last but certainly not least we run through our voicemails…err voicemail. We only receive one voicemail this week, don’t forget to let us know what’s going on people! Program our number into your phone it’s 419-NO-WOOKS or if you’re calling from a blackberry 419-669-6657.

Thanks again for everyone listening, we’ll see you next week on lot!
