Listen to Episode 98

And just like that, YEMSG is over.  But we still wanna talk about it.  This week, Steve, Katie and Toonces tackle some hard hitting news topics:  the ticket situation, the rainbow unicorn army, new MSG layout and security, train tacos, and other stuff that also happened.  Musically this may have not been the best run of the year, but the MSG party never disappoints.

Thanks to the listeners who called in from Phish, moe., and STS9.  We still wanna hear about all the other NYE shows across the land.  It’s never to late to call in a lot report at 419.NO.WOOKS.

In other news, Phil Lesh finally found a home for his ramble style Terrapin Crossroads.  The first performances are scheduled for March 2012.  Road trip anyone??

Led Zeppelin cover band extraordinaire Bustle in Your Hedgerow returns to Brooklyn Bowl on January 26th and 27th.  Featuring Marco Benevento, Dave Dreiwitz, Scott Metzger and Joe Russo, this is a Brooklyn tradition not to be missed!

And finally, Jam Cruise anticipation has reached fever pitch!  Steve and Noob Laura sail this Monday so stay tuned for updates and special reports from the boat.

Happy 2012 everyone!  Here’s to a ragin’ and music filled year!

Peace!

Listen to Episode 96

This week on lot Steve, Katie and Toonces learned that Phish is not the only band playing on NYE.  Who knew?  We discuss Hidden Track’s extensive run down of NYE shows across the land.  And remember, TWoL wants to hear about all of your NYE shenanigans so leave us a lot report at 419.NO.WOOKS in all of your tipsy NYE glory.  If you are in NYC for Phish, Mule or AoD don’t forget about the variety of Phish after parties going on around the city.

During ticket check we were left speechless when we learned that YEMSG tickets are going for as much as $250,000.  Since this is clearly not an option, don’t forget that you can enter to win NYE tickets from both Cash or Trade and Magic Hat.  Toonces also brought a listener question to the table about how to tell if you are being scammed in secondary market ticket sales.

Next, we discussed some 2012 festival news.  It’s never to early to start planning your summer festie season kids.  One of the earliest festivals of the year is Some Kind of Jam 7, held in late April in PA.  Wakarusa tickets went on sale last weekend.  Check out that one, scheduled for May 31-June 3 in AR.  Also, Summer Camp, returning to IL on Memorial Day weekend, will begin announcing its line up this week.

We had fantastic lot reports this week from SCI, Cornmeal, and Skydog.   And we of course talked about our recent shows:  moe., SCI, 311 and Big Gigantic.

Also, check out the Kickstarter fundraiser to get the Everyone Orchestra album made.  The album features a ton of our favorite musicians and promises to be a great example of true improvisation.

Finally, a big shout out to our our patron this week, Stuart, for his generous donation.  Always appreciated!

‘Til next time, rage on!

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!

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 87: SSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Listen to Episode 87

Rocky Mountain high, Colobrahdo.  I think it’s safe to say we’re all on a high after the weekend’s tour closers in Colorado.  This week’s show title is not only a nod to the “S” show on September 2nd, but it also stands for Steve Squared since that’s who we have on the mics this go round.  S2 share their thoughts on the streams, from quality and connectivity to how they actually enjoyed them.  Sounds like Uno had the more epic watching party.

With all the raging that went down at Dick’s this past weekend we can’t believe there was not one single voicemail.  Come on!  You guys know we sit by the phone eagerly awaiting each call.  Ok, maybe not, but we do look forward to hearing from the field.  You gotta call in the lot reports!

In the news this week, Umph is about to tear down NYC with a 4 night run at Brooklyn Bowl.  Despite its very Brooklyn crowd, BK Bowl is one of TWoL’s favorite venues.  I mean, bowling and live music?  Duh!

Earlier in the year we reported that Langerado was ready to get back on the horse, but as it turns out that horse won’t run.  With very little details actually know at this time, they have released a statement simply saying that they’ve had to cancel the fest for this year and refunds would be available.  Bummer.

In two other tidbits, a “lost” Jon Fishman interview surfaced in CO this weekend.  A freelance writer submitted it to the Denver Westword as a new interview, but it turns out it was a Relix interview from 1996.

KDTU is getting in on some musical costume action this fall, announcing an October run that will have them covering the classic Rolling Stones album “Sticky Fingers.”  The tour will feature members of Slightly Stoopid as well as a show with Rose Hill Drive where RHD will cover “Who’s Next” by The Who.  Funktacular.

Finally this week, we start a new piece titled “What I learned this summer.”  While escaping hurricane Irene at a festival, Toonces put down some thoughts to wrap up the summer season.  Look for our other hosts to share their insights in upcoming episodes.

Have a great week and GO SEE LIVE MUSIC!!!

TWoL 86: Jesus Rap!

Listen to Episode 86

This week we had one-half of the duo who are responsible for CashorTrade.org and LiveMusicMatch.com, welcome Brando! Make sure to check out Cash or Trade if you need/have a ticket for face or want to sell, that’s the place to go. If you’re interesting in meet a love interest or just making friends that are into the jamband scene then check out Live Music Match.

Big news of the week is that Ticketmaster and Facebook struck a deal. They are now offering a social experience where you can see what tickets your friends have already purchased. If the show isn’t sold out this could be kind of cool, the TWoL crew is on the fence on this one.

In untz news The Disco Biscuits are hitting up Vegas after the Identity festival. Will Nick go and get his untz on? Will he finally accept the flatbrims for who they are? Only time will tell.

moe. announced a few shows in New York near Thanksgiving. They will be throwing down with Dumpstahphunk opening up for them. Should be a great time!

To end our Phish coverage for the 3rd leg ( and maybe for the year) there will be a webcast this weekend of the Colorado shows. You can buy each night individually or a 3 night package. Kind of interesting that they are offering this webcast, it’s the first time they’ve done so for shows that aren’t sold out.

We’re a little sad here at TWoL, we didn’t receive any voicemails this week. What’s with that??? Make sure if you’re out and about this weekend at the Colorado Phish shows or any show in general you leave us a lot report.

Thanks everyone for your support, we’ll see you next week on lot!

- Nick

Want to rock some TWoL stickers or merch? That would be great, but as of now we don't have any funds or resources to hook you guys up (unless you see us on lot, then we might have some stickers).

Not to worry, there is a solution. We have no problem with anyone downloading the logo and using it however you see fit. Get some sticker paper at Walmart. Print some labels at Staples. Grab some "Iron-On" T-Shirt transfers. Upload the image to Cafepess and make a mouse pad. It's really up to you. We appreciate the free advertising and have no doubt you will look fly in that TWoL hoodie.
