I am going to see the smoking popes in roughly two weeks. I don't think they will get too big of a turn out here in Dallas.
I would assume that since they are playing Dallas, they are on a tour. Anyone else going to see them?

[Thrillho]

You're seeing a band called Smoking Popes? In Texas? Won't they get raped with shotguns?

[ComfortEagle]

Well now that is just a misconception about us Texans... actually, I hope they have good security.

[RobbieOC]

Nah, most of Texas is Protestant, Southern Baptists, I would wager, is the most numerous. So, these so-called Smoking Popes should be all right.

What kind of music do they play? I haven't been to a good show in a while, and wouldn't you believe it?, not a lot of good bands come through OKC that aren't like, Three Dog Night and Kansas.

[ComfortEagle]

They are a pretty good pop punk band, but if you are not into that, I can understand.
I just love the lead singer's voice.

[BlakeJustBlake]

I'm afraid i won't be around for that.

[ComfortEagle]

It happens, on the 11th, so most likely not unless you are coming into town early.

[gospel]

They've been around for awhile, as far as I can remember. They had some fairly ubiquitous singles, though. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tySYoOSDus

According to their MySpace, http://www.myspace.com/smokingpopes , they're a hometown band. Interesting. They will be having an "aftershow" for Lollapalooza on 8/2 at Congress Theater. Maybe it's worth checking out. Though, I wish I could go to the actual Lollapalooza since it has some killer bands =/.

Thanks for reminding me of their continued existence

[BlakeJustBlake]

Actually, I'll be leaving town like a couple days before that to go back home for a week and then come back.

[ComfortEagle]

gospel- I'm glad they exist too. He went on that whole whole, I am going to start making worship music kick for a while.
Blake- That is too bad. However, the Magnetic Fields will be playing in October, you should try and be around for that.

[dalconnsuch]

when i saw the shaky hands at the viera project in seattle? i'm sure 10 people not counting the people in the band were all that were there

good fuckin show though

[Internet Hate Machine]

I Wanted to go, But I have work. D:

Neil Hennessey from the Lawrence Arms hopped on as the new drummer for Smoking Popes.

And pretty much everything that him and Eli Caterer have had a hand in (Sundowner, The Falcon, Birds In The Air, Colossal) are FUCKING ACE.
