WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Do The Standing Still

Posted over 2 years ago
Ooh, two Dismemberment Plan posts in a row! For anyone who never caught a live show when they were still together (ME!), the near-missed opportunity of a lifetime was announced today [Stereogum, Pitchfork]: The Dismemberment Plan are reuniting for one night only as part of a benefit for Callum Robbins, the infant son of Jawbox's J. Robbins, who's suffering from a rare disease called spinal muscular atrophy.The party explodes on Sat. April 28 at the Black Cat in Washington, DC. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 5 p.m., and a 100-foot land-walking giant squid with all of its tentacles on fire couldn't keep me away. I've been waiting for this announcement ever since the unfortunate day that I found out the D-Plan had broken up roughly TWO WEEKS before I first heard and subsequently fell in love with Emergency & I. AND it's for a fantastic cause!!! Everybody wins!

  1. iodapril says Oh man. I am so sad. Practically crying over here. I too am a huge gynormous fan and love them with all my heart and soul but alas. I live in CA. And will be at Coachella. But perhaps there is hope yet that they will have so much fun and decided to do a tour. I would be at every show imaginable wearing bells and streamers. You better go. For all the fans out there that can't, you definitely should!

  2. prolixrush says YES! I got my tickets right at 5 p.m. Good thing, too, because apparently it sold out in less than five minutes. I am so ecstatic ... and I will throw my hands in the air (and wave 'em like I just don't care) for you, I swear!!

  3. iodapril says I am beyond excited for you! Congrats on the tickets!!!!! 5 minutes?!? That's incredible. Honestly, incredible. And yes, please do wave those hands around. Dance and sing along with all your heart and I will have to be happy with knowing that another awesome fan is enjoying something I hope to do myself one day. I'm going to expect an entry about it! Yay! :)
