Should be a cool show. It was originally supposed to happen last March but there were some scheduling issues. I just got the call that it was confirmed yesterday.

In other Riviera/Wilco-stalking news, we're opening for John and Laurie Stirratt in Lansing, Michigan on April 1. The band hasn't yet filed for a restraining order.

Now now, you know you can't use phrases like that around me...;) Anyway, I'm really very proud of you guys. PA Pilots, last year, opened for the Wrens, and now, you guys, are opening for Wilco. It just doesn't get any better than that.

And now we're combining our forces for a huge blow-out at Schubas on April 2. That's right, Riviera and Paper Airplane Pilots together!


It's also our CD release...

And you guys opened for Jay Fararr in Iowa, and that dude from Golden Smog at Schubas.

So really you guys just keep playing with all musicians Tweedy related. Funky.

Yeah this is great. I'm sooo excited.

Is that at the Temple Club? Or Mac's, maybe? Either is cool, but the Temple is a really pretty old church that's been converted into a multi-floor nightlife spot (DJs on the lower 2, bands up top). Mac's was where I spent far too many college nights, seeing all manner of ska, punk, indie and country-ish bands. I'd recommend going next door to Theio's diner after the gig for some ass-kicking grub, except it's under new ownership now and it's not the same.

I'd probably come check out the show, except my friend is visiting from London then and we've made plans to go see Bloc Party in Detroit that night. Have a great time, though. Sounds like you guys are doing alright for yourselves.

Timmy,
This is a new account. I forgot my old login and just created a new one. I actually have over 12,000 posts on this board. Don't you ever read them?

And the Stirratt show is at the Temple Club. I've never been there but hear it's a great venue.

Renovated churches make great buildings. I've seen a few around the city that are condos now. Uber-cool.

I demand that Riviera and PA Pilots play a show together in New York, and I won't take NO for an answer. I also demand that Ryan get naked on stage. I would demand the same of Josh but Jen would have my head for it...:D

The only time Josh gets naked for the public is when he forgets the bedroom door is open after he gets out of the shower and the people across the way have a great view in.

Otherwise he keeps his clothes on. :wink:

ahh..sorry i've either been sleeping or playing a very aggravating game of Zelda on Gamecube with my son(we're stuck on this musical wand part for the past half hour, it's pissing me off). We've now given up because I threatened to kill the dragon that was supposed to be helping us, much to my son's giggles.

Anyways, last night rocked in all senses of the word.

It was a sold out show and the Vic Theatre is pretty damn big so you can only imagine all the people there. What was cool was the place was completely filled for their opening set(which you don't always see a place filled for an opener, but they've been getting some local press on online mags and such so word of mouth is spreading).

And they played the best set ever. The sound there is amazing and the energy they displayed was unbelievable. And I was watching with Derek's wife and our friends Jake, Jolie and Denise. Denise and I kept turning around during the set to see people's reactions and it was awesome to see so many people totally getting into them. And after each song they were met with total applause from the sold out audience. It was unbelievable!! But they sounded sooooo damn good. Best ever.

Afterwards I overheard this couple behind us talking about how incredible they were and struck up a conversation with them and talked them into coming to the record release show.


Tweedy of course was wonderful. Very stoic. It was a benefit show for the Kawasaki Disease Research foundation(a very scary kids disease that their oldest son had problems with when he was younger, hence the benefit). He seemed very reserved the first half of the show but then became chattier as the show went on(as did parts of the audience, some people in front of us propelled a couple of us to confront them of their annoying behaviour- Jeff even made mention of how he prefers the audience singing along rather then all the conversations going around-ha). It was a two something hour set and if I tried to recall all the songs it would take me days. At one point he took requests from the audience and then promptly kept shooting down all the requests he did get. lol

We never got to meet Jeff, though I believe Derek did beforehand if I overheard him correctly. And Jeff did hang out and watch the guys during their Soundcheck. I think Josh met Sue his wife and their youngest son.

I had to gone to eat with our friends while the guys got their stuff together after tweedy ended and when they met us at the restaurant we were told of how as they were making their way to the backstage area Josh and Derek were accosted by a group of giggling 15 yr old girls who proclaimed their adoration of them and asked them for autographs which they(or just josh, don't know if derek did) complied. That and they kept geting told by people on their way out how great they did. Which rocks.

So it was a kickass and most wonderful night. I couldn't be prouder and happier for them.

And their album officially drops April 5th through Glorious Noise records and then with their distrib deal with Carrot Top, hopefully in many record stores too.
