Beulah announces new tour dates....

[Swish]

and they'll be near me in June! I really want to seem them again, so barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll be at the North Star Bar on June 2nd. I hate going to Philly on a weeknight, but it will be worth the effort.

Thanks for the Beulah heads up - I love their studio material - how are they live?
Is it a not to be missed event?

So the whole breaking up thing was just a publicity stunt? Rat bastards.

BTW, what's up with the whole Yoko thing? I thought the title was a reference to You're Only King Once, but then I read this:

Yoko Ono has asked us, as well as Yo La Tengo among others, to remix one of her old songs for an upcoming ep. Fu<a>ck yeah. Also, you can go here to see what Yoko has to say about us. Double fuc</a>k yeah.

"Here" says this in an interview with Yoko Ono:

Beulah singer Miles Kurosky said, "Yoko had to be the title since the record is about love, my growth as an artist, and the changes I've been going through as a human being. I wanted to make a more mature, confident and daring artistic statement. The word 'Yoko' says it all: change, progress and risk."

He's very eloquent. I really blessed Beulah, because they're going back to being real. Beulah are starting to do something on a different level. It's very close to the kind of writing that was done in the Sixties. It's good, and it's coming back.

Anyone have any insight into this?

Anyway, I wrote a review on the old board and mentioned how much I loved the show.The Khyber is a very small venue and it was SRO in the area they have live music. This was the tour following "The Coast Is Never Clear" and they did a bunch off that and a bunch from "When Your Hearstrings Break", and I was happier than a pig in slop. They were tight and loose and the same time, and I had a blast. I would highly recommend seeing them live and hope you enjoy them as much as I did. I know Darius saw them shortly after in NYC and said it was "pure pop pleasure" as I recall.
