Well damn, hard to believe it but the almighty Lost Cross house began 25 years ago this weekend, and is still running strong. We'd have to say, some of the best shows we have ever seen period were at Lost Cross, and we sure are happy to have it be a part of our community. So it's time to celebrate, with 4 amazing shows going down in the next 5 days! Hopefully she'll make it through the whole party.. Thank you Lost Cross and everyone who has made it possible over the years!
Here's all the deetz, straight from the unicorn's mouth:
FRIDAY - 10/21 - 8 PM
The Copyrights
Fighting 407
Big Eyes (NYC)
Peer Precious (MN)
Hard Feelings (MN)
(This show will start at 8 (real time, not punk time), with the out of town bands opening to get people in the basement and warmed up. sets will be short and to the point, so come on time, or YOU WILL miss out. )SATURDAY - 10/22 - 9 PMDiet Christ
The Hangarounds
The Hateful Dead
(Again, this show will start at 9 real time. people are travelling for this, and if you want to be fashionably late be prepared to be fashionably disappointed. )SUNDAY - 10/23 - 9 PM
It Burns
Planets (TX)
(Two bands, two bucks. its gonna be a long weekend, so this ones gonna be short and sweet.)
TUESDAY - 10/25 - 6 PM BBQ/SHOW - THE 25th ANNIVERSARY OF THE 1st LC SHOW! FREE!!!
Autonomy
The Shakes
Staring Problem
(This show MUST be over by 10 PM. we want to get people out of the house and over to the Hangar for the Screaming Females/Underground Railroad to Candyland/Parlor show. its gonna be fun and casual, and the bands dont care if they play to no one. wouldnt be the first time. so try to come out. and dont forget to grill out!)---
The house will be asking for $3-5 donations for the shows unless noted otherwise. While some of the money will go to out of town bands, it will also be going towards a new P.A./microphones/mic stands/cables for the house. No one will be turned away, and this is a true donation. More is cool, but if you don't want to pay, you don't have to. but you'd be cooler if you did. We ain't yer parents or bill collectors, so we ain't gonna hound ya.
DISCOUNT NOTICE! if you have ever lived at Lost Cross you get $1 off! if you have a Lost Cross tattoo (yes, a 407 counts!), you get $1 off! and yes, if youve ruined yourself enough to have done both, you will get $2 off.
All show lineups subject to change depending on mood, level of sobriety.
Remember the Rob Jacobs Ensemble that existed from summer 2010 til summer 2011? They were one of the best bands to see live, and we were always wishing that they had recorded versions like they played them live, in addition to the studio versions of the songs that Rob did solo. Well, they popped into the studio recently and laid down 10 tracks, with everything done completely live, to document their time together. We're sad this band is around anymore, and we're so stoked to finally hear these recordings! Rob Jacobs has a lot of new stuff happening now, with both Wei Zhongle and Freedom Ride, and it is all pretty amazing. Rumor is he has more tricks up his sleeve that we will be hearing soon.. we hope that is true!
