sonical says B-- Go see them. Period. I'm bummed I can't see them easily this tour. I'm at Jazzfest when they are at Coachella and then missing them in New Orleans the next weekend. I guess I can always celebrate the 4th of July in Poland.

Charley Rogulewski says Sonical: You can stay with my family out there (big drinkers, hope you'll be able to keep up.)

anna log says i'm bummed because they're my neighbors in nashville and i rarely see them because they work all the time and so do i... although i did see jack lawrence at the black lips show last week. i guess if i spent more time in nashville, i'd see em more. if you like the raconteurs.... i implore you to check out the greenhornes... patrick keeler & jack lawrence (the world's best rhythm section) play as the greenhornes with singer craig fox. they're like a garage rock version of cream with a touch of hendrix --- but heavy on the garage brendan benson's no slouch in the solo dept. either. well, jack white... he's a genius. and he pumps his own gas.

sonical says Charley: is that a challenge? I'm a pretty good drinker and a huge fan of sausage. Anna: a good friend saw Greenhorns in Portland a couple years back and freaked. He also said they were a lot like Cream. But the touch of Hendrix could throw me over the top. Hopefully they get go out on the road again soon.
