Dizzy Storm Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 New York's fantastic MDM return to Europe this spring and will be including Dr Drakes in their tour schedule! yay! some of you may have seen them last year with Casiotone For The Painfully Alone....here's a bit of info anyway...The Martha Dumptruck Massacre. A group of bored, suburban, sensitive, slighty off kids who like loud music and annoying tones. The name comes from the 80's motion picture 'Heathers' (Wynonna Rider, Christian Slater). Martha Dumptruck(Dunnstock) was the outcast, fat girl. That's somewhat of an insight into the bands mind. The band draws alot of influence from films and literature. Not the usual suspects though. No Shakespear. They lean more towards Bukowski or children's books.Sonicly, the band draws from the likes of The Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth and various strange noises they hear in their heads. But underneath the harsh feedback, distortion and noise lies....Pop songs!! Truly catchy songs that will get stuck in your head. From 50's bubblegum to early 90's alterna-pop and all stops inbetween. The Martha Dumptruck Massacre, MDM for short, is not your standard Modern rock band, yet at the same time they are not your average noise-rock band. They sit in the beautiful valley that rests between the two extremes. MDM is pushing the envelope of the not yet exploited noise-pop genre www.themarthadumptruckmassacre.com tonight will also be the return of the mighty mighty MASAMUNE!!! woop! cant wait...also the brilliant XS RELOCAT...complete with new singer...DOORS 8PM4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 If you like the drums louder than John Bonham, and faster than a stoat at a picnic, XS RELOCAT are the band for you,if you like NAMBY PAMBY SHITE you had better give us a miss,or at least wear ear defenders.Masamune are a wee bit like Trail of Dead,he he he can't wait.

Lawy Lawson:Attorney Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I'm REALLY looking forward to this gig...but...look, I'm an English lit. student, so forgive me, but there is an "e" on the end of "Shakespear", Dr. Drake.(feels sheepish, prepares for beating on Friday) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plato the Greek Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 More correctly Lawy Lawson: 'Shakespeare' is only the modern, accepted scholarly spelling of the name. Although this appears to be the most common way of spelling the playwright's name in surviving contemporaneous documentation, the spelling of even proper names in the Elizabethan and Jacobean period was not subject to hard and fast inflexible rules as it is nowadays. Thus spellings such as 'Shakespear', 'Shakespere' and even 'Shaxspere' were used to signify the Bard in different texts and should not be discounted. Drakes were clearly just challenging the existing scholarly canon, those crazy goddam motherfuckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do plan on attending this gig. It looks very interesting and I've never seen any of the bands on the bill. As to Shakespeare: I had to do a uni presentation on names and spelling in early modern literature and this caught my eye, hence the cut n' paste action and the ridiculously inflated register of essay-speak.

Dizzy Storm Posted May 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 just to let everyone know, MDM, this time, will just consist of Joel doing an acoustic show. it turns out that the other 2 members are 'finishing school' over in the states and weren't able to come to the UK. he tried to get a band together with his friends over here but to no avail.....he promises to put on a good show anyway - and im sure it'll be a top night all roundentry 3.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
