DeadSplinter Up! All Night: Slouching Towards Bethlehem

Conor Oberst’s most well known project has returned. After an official Instagram account was started last month with various cryptic posts, Bright Eyes announced a world tour this year starting in Tokyo on March 23rd, a North American leg this spring and summer, and finishing in Europe this September in the UK. A few years ago, a friend once said that I would most likely never get the chance see a Bright Eyes show. Now that I have a ticket to one of their shows, I’m happy to say that possibility has been avoided. Thank you for your continued support of DeadSplinter.

  1. Seven Days of Motorhead, pt.7

    In 2015 the band released their 22nd studio album, exactly four months before Lemmy’s death on December 28. The vocals are slightly softer, and a little more slurred, but still decidedly “Lemmy.” Not bad for a hard-living, chronically ill 69-year-old with undiagnosed prostate cancer.

  2. Have a lovely time at the show!
    The son of a coworker worked at Saddle Creek in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Here is another band from that time.

  3. Shadow Show

      • Ellie, I was a little kid when this Trammps song was big. One night my dad took me to a Philadelphia Phillies game, and I was so excited because The Trammps (who were from Philly) were going to do a little mini-concert before the game. They were so cool and I was star struck! When we were walking through the parking lot after the game, we walked pass an old, beat-up yellow school bus with “The Trammps” badly painted across it. Devastated would only begin to describe my disappointment. I was rolling to school everyday in a yellow bus that was cooler than The Trammps touring bus 🚌

        • I bet they were excited to play there. It never fails to make me want to dance. As I dance with enthusiasm but sans rhythm, it speaks to the power of this infectious happy tune.

  4. …disco has its adherents…& rightly so…but when I used to have better reasons for not being asleep as the small hours got big enough for breakfast the fast wasn’t the only thing with a break going for it?

    …so if you’ll excuse a different sort of nostalgia
