ima post a review the day i pick it up
i know its supposed to just be re-recordings of Keasbey Nights so Catch 22 doesnt make any money... but they would lose royalties if they didn't put at least one new song on it...

o dam,n
nevermind, they just updated the release date
there now is none!
it reminds me of their first album
3 months post-poned
rediculous!

has anyone been to SID2 yet?

[QUOTE=skankin'sophr]has anyone been to SID2 yet?[/QUOTE]

nope

I love this band soooo much. Here's To life is one of the greatest songs ever made.

have you heard the BOTAR version?

ive seen them live twice, I saw them when they played in grand rapids last year and when they played in toledo. Though they don't put on any great stage show and stick to just playing their music, they do an incredible fing job at it. I am seeing them.... today I guess it would be.

Also, Here's To Life by SLM is a cover of BOTAR. BOTAR covers Hey Sergio from keasby nights.

Last time I saw them live, they added "hey ska" onto their set by the suicide machines, since I've seen the suicide machines live many times (and seen them horribly try to play the song live w/o horns lol) it was really exciting.

Also, if you are going to their show, expect to hear one or two botar songs, notably "They provide the paint for the picture-perfect masterpiece that you paint inside your eyelids" and "It's a wonderful life." (also here's to life, but that's to be expected)

Streetlight
 

I have to say, SM are (is??) amazing, Tomas Kalnoky=3yrs in prison for armed robbery. Just amazing people. It sucks with the leaving of James Egan and Josh Ansley. Im seeing them live the 6th, awesome show. BOTAR is also really cool. They're so offbeat that it's just amazing. Some relative of Tomas' is in BOTAR, his name is Achilles Kalnoky. How Eastern European. He lives in Prague. Rock on Czech Republic.

**If you're into anarcho-ska/crusty stuff, listen to Leftover Crack. What a fine group of young entrepreneurs.**

i love em, can't wait for the new cd, whenever that will be

I <3 Botar

ya, i didnt realize BOTAR had like 15 members... i just figured it was SM guys playing alternate instruments or something.

I think its 12 members

ya, i didnt bother to count, but its alot.

i went to the ska is dead tour and public access told everybody to come on stage and sing linoleum. it was awesome. except their saxifonist broke his sax... all the other bands were amazing to especailly streetlight manifesto

[QUOTE=skankin'sophr]has anyone been to SID2 yet?[/QUOTE]


I went lastngiht. amazing show. Streetlight was so good.

The best part of their set was when they started counterpoint, played half of it and went right in to keasby nights, then they finished up counterpoint. it was f'ucking amazing.

Naw bosstones and less than jake

I wish they came at least to my state so I could've seen that.:upset:


That Point/Counterpoint+Keasbey Nights sounds F'uckin amazing.

[QUOTE=SlappedByTheClash]That Point/Counterpoint+Keasbey Nights sounds F'uckin amazing.[/QUOTE]

Where's that?

Oh, I didn't see it. I'd love to see SLM live.

they are an awesome band. i love that type of ska. its not too pop punky but its not too street punky its just right. and seeing as i havent actually been to a live gig before (noob*embarassed*) i would definitely want to go see them if i ever had the chance.

Streetlight Manifesto owns, their horns are so much better than any other ska bands.

Reccomended Songs:
-Everything Goes Numb
-Flailing Flailing
-Point Counterpoint
-A Better Place a Better Time

they covered keasby nights? wut?

They play a lot of old C22 stuff. At their first show they played a songs off C22's demo.

What's the connection with Catch 22? I've always wanted to know that.

they need to play a well known bands songs

But really, there are some members of Catch 22 in SLM or it's just a paranoid?

Paranoid?

No, there's ex-members of Catch 22 in Streetlight. I know the singer is the same, I don't know who else.

Didn't it used to be like half C22 and half One Cool Guy before some of the guys left?

The connection is Tomas Kalnoky on guitar/vocals, Josh Ansley on bass and Jamie Egan on Trombone but he just recently left.

The rest of them were from OCG. Since they formed there has been a few lineup changes. But for the most part it's the same.

I went to the "Ska is dead" last night. It was so great. That was my first live show and streetlight was deifnitly the best.Them and our local band Bad Larry

dude my music teacher is in Streetlight!... he plays trombone. he used to be in catch 22 too

You f'ucking liar, shut up.


The trombonist quit Streetlight anyway.


if he's in a band like SM, why would he f'uck his life away teaching pre-pubescent children how to play wanky classical music?

You like using the words pre-pubescent don't you?
Anyway.....
Streetlight Rules!

Their CD can be phrased in one word: AMAZING!
I got it a week ago and I've been listening to it everyday since I got it (I am even listening to it right now!) Easily a must get. God, they rule...

[QUOTE=Sk8SkaNJ]The connection is Tomas Kalnoky on guitar/vocals, Josh Ansley on bass and Jamie Egan on Trombone but he just recently left.[/QUOTE]

I supposed the singer was the same but the bassist is awesome and he didn't use to write so **** good basslines in Catch 22. That surprised me.

You forgot, A Moment of Silence, I love that song. :)

Anyone know if Streetlight's coming to Canada any time soon?
