Avail (Official Thread)

[versus_god]

Because they rule.

[versus_god]

It's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day!

[CellarGhosts]

You should have named this "An in-depth look at the intricacies of Brand New's Deja Entendu" and then have been like "I lied. this is the official Avail thread."

You'd at least have gotten more replies/views.


But anyway, I only have Front Porch Stories but it is indeed swt.

[Dre Okorley]

Don't we already have an official Avail thread?
Well, I guess there can never be too many!

Hahaha that is the unfortunate truth, isn't it? That would have upped my punx infinitely.

Front Porch Stories is totally swt, but Over The James is a near perfect record. This band can do no wrong in my eyes.

Haha, oh it is. either that or something to do with Nickelback. either way, punx would have been upped, somebody would've been stoked, someone would've gone out to get a sandwich, you get the idea.

Ah, I see. I'll try and get ahold of that one sometime then.


also, lol @ "searched to no avail!" :-D

[versus_god]

I'm pretty sure someone would've gotten a little more hard/lean.

Maaaan, I'm still kicking myself for missing them when played here with the Draft. Alexis was not stoked.

I saw them here on the Smoke or Fire, Gaslight Anthem tour. It was pretty insane. You'll catch them again, they've always come across to me as one of those bands that plays all the time.

Wow, Smoke Or Fire and TGA together? sweeet.

Haha, true ture.

damn, bummer. :-(

[Dre Okorley]

Yeah, it was pretty awesome. I'm not a big fan of Smoke or Fire, though... :shrug:

I liked one song of theirs, but havent checked up on them since. Have they released any newer stuff..and if so, does it sound better than their first stuff?

[versus_god]

That is an amazing line-up.

I'm hoping that'll happen, as I've heard so many great things about their live show. I think they're taking it easy for a while though, with Gwomper playing in Smoke Or Fire and all.

[CellarGhosts]

The only things they've released are Above the City and This Sinking Ship (see avatar)

Also, they have another album out, Worker's Union I think it's called, under the name Jericho RVA. Same dudes, just a different band name.

edit: directed @ "TurnedAgainst" because Alexis and Andrew were dum-dums and posted and ruined my laziness.

Haven't gotten into this band yet. Going to look them up.

[Dre Okorley]

[Dre Okorley]

Did I..... trip myself up again?
Did I... see more than you did?

[versus_god]

Dixie/4am Friday/Over The James was a 1-2-3 punch of bingo bango.

[shit stroll]

this band doesn't get enough love

[Genuma]

Love this band! Never seen this thread before.

[shit stroll]

their live shows are intense.

[Genuma]

I've seen videos but I don't think it's quite the same.

[shit stroll]

nah definitely not, lol.

hopefully the new album drops in 09

[Genuma]

Haha. New album's gonna be sweet. No Idea's got a Live album of theirs on 10" and CD for free.

[versus_god]

Lately I've been thiiiiinking

[shit stroll]

There's nothing second graders want to see more than two grizzled men they don't know sing to them about the dust bowl.

[versus_god]

Haha. I would have been into it. Totally.

[shit stroll]

lol would've been epic.

one time these bmx freestyle dudes came to my middle school to preach about the evils of drugs and sex.

[versus_god]

There was a woman that would come an tell us African folk tales. She had a rainstick.

[shit stroll]

you know those rainsticks don't really work, right?

[versus_god]

:-(

You know?

:-(

[shit stroll]

only three pages for avail, booooo.

[ThemChains]

The great bands from Richmond just keep getting love. I'm okay with it. Who here listens to Tim Barry's solo stuff?

[Klatzke]

Riyl?

what i've heard on his myspace page was great.

[versus_god]

I dig Tim's solo stuff. I'm fairly stoked about seeing him with Chuck in a couple months.

[Genuma]

Tim's solo stuff is cool. He's got a new one coming out soon, right?

[versus_god]

He's putting out a "Live at Munford Elementary" 7".

[Genuma]

I thought that Suburban Home had his second album coming out sometime soon or at least announced it.

[versus_god]

I don't know, man. I just don't know. Man. I'd rather have a new Avail album. It's been too long.

[Genuma]

[shit stroll]

has anyone heard the new vc tim barry podcast?

[AP_Punk]

been meaning to check it out. haven't yet. haha.

[SickOfStars]

I'm pretty down with this band, mostly "Over the James", but I feel like sometimes there's a little bit of a cheeseball factor that gets in my way.

[AP_Punk]

Tim Barry's new album, Manchester, is out today!

[TheOtherAndrew]

Just kinda realized that the only song by this band I know is that "Back to You" song from Short Music For Short People. I need to fix this.

[AP_Punk]

Try Over the James, mang.

[Justin_stacy]

sometimes i forget about how fucking amazing over the james is.

[prefix-core]

You should have named this "An in-depth look at the intricacies of Brand New's Deja Entendu" and then have been like "I lied. this is the official Avail thread."

Agreed with the aforementioned hilarity. However, I can safely say that I would most likely not have ever found this one otherwise. Haha. However late to the party I may have been, regardless...

[prefix-core]

Has anyone here been fortunate enough to see these guys live? They've been consistently awesome whenever I was able to catch them. I wish they were still touring regularly...

[TheOtherAndrew]

Tim Barry apparently is playing in New Orleans tonight, but there are no times listed, no posters that I can find, and when I call the venue to ask, their number has been disconnected. Weak.

[shit stroll]

yes, i saw them a few years ago with smoke or fire. so good.

[prefix-core]

yes, i saw them a few years ago with smoke or fire. so good.

Yeah, I saw them in 2007 with Smoke or Fire. It was a great show. On Halloween, no-less. Which meant that Beau Beau was in a full-body Winnie the Pooh outfit. Amazing.

But the best line-up I've ever seen with them on it? October of 2005 in New York City at B.B. King's Blues Club. The Bouncing Souls, Dillinger Four, Avail, Strike Anywhere, and None More Black. I have no words...

[shit stroll]

wow, what an amazing lineup.

[AP_Punk]

yowza!

[CellarGhosts]

Oh fuck. That's an amazing line up.

[prefix-core]

...God bless the College Music Journal for putting on a yearly festival with label showcases (in this case, it was Punkvoter). I completely forgot about that line-up until I started thinking about the different times I had seen Avail. Shit, that was a great night. D4 was late getting on-stage because they hadn't received their nachos yet. Haha.

[shit stroll]

rock against bush was 04

[prefix-core]

Ah yeah. My years were off. My bad.

[shit stroll]

:-p

i was going to go but the atlanta date didn't have that great of lineup.

[prefix-core]

...What was the actual line-up for that tour?

[AP_Punk]

spring cleaning sale (http://www.vinylcollective.com/2009/04/08/sale-1-lot-of-avail-records-over-the-james4am-fridaydixie/)

Agreed. That and Front Porch Stories are tied for my favorites. I not-so-secretly hope they wind up at the Fest this year. It's super lame that they don't play...

honestly, how much longer can tim keep his solo gimmick going? it's only a matter of time before they get back together.
