[QUOTE=3qtzDrunk]Thomas writes everything, from the lyrics down to the drums and horn section parts. I guess that everyone gives input, and things are changed here and there, but he has the final say about everything.[/QUOTE]

He writes the horn line, and comes up with the basic idea of the bass line. He doesn't write drums(according to every interview I've seen, and I've seen and read and heard a lot).

I wonder how much he writes for BOTAR

I dunno, I read this interview with Chris Thatcher:

CT - I mean, he writes everything, He even writes the drum parts. And for instance, with the drum parts, if I hear something thats not right or whatever, then ill do what I think is right and then he'll be like 'yes' or 'no' and then we'll figure it out, ultimatley, hes the master planner.

Yea..seriously they will never come to canada..that pisses me off so bad

What are you talking about. They played a show in toronto in june.

Pwned.

Streetlight Manifesto is amzing live and the most talented out of them

Does anyone have info on the new SM cd, or when it will be out?

November of 2016

Its 2012 you t[color=white]wat[/color].

Where the hell are the New England shows?

They're hitting the west coast this tour. Last tour they hit northeast. I think, I don't remember. Either way, they'll never go to kentucky so it doesn't matter to me

that long. **** y cant it be sooner?

Why is James Egan Credited in the cover of washed up. Did he quit a bit later than Josh and Tomas?

There is a new news letter on their site if you guys haven't seen it:

indeed!

hey you.
smack dab right in the middle of this unusually warm summer, we're back with an update. ok, where to begin... ah, let's do a list, yeah?

1) rad little tour lined up for september and october that covers the parts of the country we didn't hit on the june tour (namely anything not in the northeast). coming out with us this time will be whole wheat bread (encore!) and bedouin soundclash, two awesome bands. a good time is guaranteed to be had by all.

2) dates for the next manifesto tour to cover the old world (yes, that means europe) will be up in the next few days. we can say, however, that the dates are from october 18th through november 23rd, starting in germany and ending in the uk. hopefully more than half the band will be able to make it this time ;-)

3) the summer is going great for us, thanks for asking. we're busy taking care of some non-sm stuff here and there, preparing for more sm-related stuff very soon. we've been going on and on about new stuff planned and planned and postponed and postponed, and we know that's become the sm way, but we want you to know that many things are indeed in the works, and that these things will see the light of day soon. scout's honor.

4) we hope you're having a pleasant summer as well.

5) also, wanted to mention a few firsts coming up on the next tour: 1) show in salt lake city (we've had a freakishly bizarre series of events that always prevented us from playing there) (and to that kid that keeps writing in, cursing us off for hating his city, calm down kid, take your ritalin, we're on the way) 2) our first show in washington dc (finally)

6) we weren't going to play jersey on this tour since we did last tour, but we couldn't resist. we're super excited to be returning to the starland ballroom in october. we tend to do a bunch of touring, then take time off to work on, uhm, "stuff", then return etc, so we couldn't leave for the winter without playing home.

that be it. later

A[B][I][/I][/B]ssholes skip out on the northeast.

[QUOTE=Skrunnch]A[B][I][/I][/B]ssholes skip out on the northeast.[/QUOTE]
We got our turn 2 months ago and the rest of the country went "You're playing favourites with the northeast!"

ok so im confused. i thought thomas was in catch-22 before streetlight. it sounds like him. what the ****?

Ummm... he was? He was with them for Keasbey Nights, then he left. Then he did BOTAR stuff, and then he formed Streetlight.

i thought so but i read somewhere that someone else was their singer. whatever.

Someone else is their singer now. I forget his name. Pat something?

Which is because Tomas left after Keasby Nights....then C22 went to ****....ok the album right after Tomas left seems okay from the few songs I've heard, but not as good as he wrote....Dinosaur Sounds, though? yuck

Alone in the Crowd (album after KN) was pretty good. But Dinosaur Sounds was crap.

Can someone post C22's discography? What albums came before Keasby Nights?

Their demo.

KN was their first full length

1998 Keasbey Nights
2000 Alone in a Crowd
2001 Washed up and Through the Ringer
2003 Dinosaur Sounds

Singles/EPs
1992 Just Asking [Cassette Single]
1992 Just Asking [Vinyl Single]
1997 I'm Falling
1999 Washed Up! [EP]

Is Alone in a Crowd worth buying?

I liked some of the songs.
