Against Me! Band • Page 9

She’s also teasing an upcoming tour being announced next week, so I think it’s time to get excited

 

Baroness & Against Me! Reportedly Planning Spring Tour | Theprp.com

 

that would whip

 

I want that. Badly.

Call it the BAM! Tour.

 

do a white crosses 10 year tour imo

 

bamboo bones best song of all time

 

This was overhyped lol

 

against me overhyping something? no way

 

That is a good lineup. Don't know the opener but the other three are all super solid.

 

Kind of want to go to Milwaukee but not sure I really want to commit to that drive on a sunday night

 

I know nothing about Baroness. It's a metal band??

 

Ish. They're more of a rock band now. They're very good but the last release probably isn't their best to be honest.

 

Laura was pumping up this tour as something special. I was hoping for some really great openers that I know and love. No judgment on a band I've never heard of, but I was disappointed it wasn't bringing out Titus Andronicus or Dave Hause or White Reaper or something.

Expectations are a motherfucker.

 

maybe she really likes baroness

 

I recommend their purple album. I feel they’re 1000% better live than on record.

 

I finally started reading Tranny! I’ve had it on my shelf for what like 5 years?

I’ve always been a casual fan (except Transgender Dysphoria Blues ... got super into that album), but it encouraged me to dive back into their earlier discography.

Holy hell did I sleep on White Crosses all these years lol.

 

White Crosses is way better than New Wave

 

It really is. And New Wave is great!

 

Saw them the other night and they were incredible as always. New songs sounded awesome!

 

How's the book?

 

Im about 80 pages in and really enjoying this. Obviously a really easy, fast read.

So far heavily talks about her drug use as a teenager, how she got into it, why she did it, her punk roots, growing up in Florida and the shitty ass jocks who bullied her, starting the band and touring, while also beginning to dive into her dysphoria as a young child and how drugs became her substitute for her dysphoria.

I haven’t read many autobiography’s from musicians but very into this. Any Against Me fan should read.

 

This conversation reminded me that I recorded some of Laura reading from Tranny when she was on her book tour for it in 2016. I uploaded it but never got around to making it public so hopefully 4 years later it's ok to share.

 

Nice, yeah I don't read a lot of music biographies either, but AM!'s one of my favorite bands so I've been meaning to read it at some point but haven't gotten around to it yet. Will try to pick up a used copy if I can find one in stores.

 

It is a very good book. I read it once or twice a year when I get on an AM kick
