Where is AMT playing? I have one show of theirs and it's CRAZY. A friend of mine gave me that along with a few Bardo Pond shows, and the AMT show is wild. What's their deal? This guy just recorded the "low-key" Lake Trout show in Annapolis. This show was EXCELLENT and I'll offer it to anyone who wants it when I get it in .SHN.

James AMT played @ axis last night (boston). capped night 3 of terrastock, w/ kawabata pummeling his guitar a la pete townshend and then tossing the destroyed bits into the crowd (the most dangerous piece being the neck/head stock, the crowd parted like the red sea when that thing came fliying in). excellent night, great sets from lockgroove, sonic youth, barbara manning and the go-luckys, kinksi, bardo pond, etc. kinkski in particular were f**king blinding. that first song they did was the highight of the entire festival for me. i'll type more later if anyone wants me to. good weekend of music! _________________ Yuppie wrote: Flames make everything faster, stronger, and better.

I have a friend you really need to talk to. He seems to be in all the same stuff and has Mics/DAT and transfers them to SHN. He may have some stuff you'd enjoy.

He may have some stuff you'd enjoy. yeah, i am always up for trading stuff, but warn yr friend that i don't have much live stuff. a guy i know setup shop last night and taped some of the stuff, i think he left after bevis frond, or maybe bardo pond, can't recall. AMT was a lot of fun, a crazy set of guys (and one woman) and a lot of fun to watch. i hadn't seen SY in a while either, and they were really on. jim o'rourke was a nice addition to the lineup. _________________ Yuppie wrote: Flames make everything faster, stronger, and better.
