Re: DBT Quarantine Livestreams

I requested "Great Car Dealer War" and got it! What an underrated gem.

Has that been played live yet anywhere?

Just 2 Cooley songs after 3 1/2 years?
Years ago, I talked to Cooley after a solo show and asked him why he didn't write more songs.

His response was "You got any?"

Re: Adam's House Cat- Town Burned Down RELEASED!

Just listened to it twice yesterday. A nice document of what was to come. I have the Musician Magazine Best Unsigned Bands CD from 88 where AHC were one of the winners. The song on that disc, "Smiling at Girls," is OK, but Patterson's vocals are pretty weak. He made the right choice to redo them for...

Homecoming 2019 questions

Hi all! I've never been to Homecoming, so I've decided to try and make it for next year. Can anyone offer advice on when tickets usually go on sale? Also, do they generally sell three-day tix for it and are hotel rooms offered? I've never been to Athens, so i figured it'll be a good way to see a new...

Re: DBT Fonda 4-26

Another great show with a deep setlist. I sat in the balcony rather than stand like I normally would and thought the sound up there was excellent.

The show was about 2 1/2 hours long, but it flew by far too quickly as usual.

Re: English Oceans album release show in Los Angeles

It was a great show. I realized about half way thru it that it was a warm up show for the new tour. They played a great encore with 'Play it All Night Long" and a pretty awesome drunken version of People who Died. That's what I thought too. I thought it took them a little while to warm up with...

Re: Those Five Bonus Tracks: AKA Dragon Pants EP

They picked the right songs for the proper album. But this would make a fine start for a DBT comedy record. Agree on both points. "Grandpa Rock City" is their funniest song since "The Night GG Allin Came To Town." And the title track is pretty awesome also! I want a physical cop...

Given all the total horseshit they have on 90% of each season, they could really use something REAL like our boys. Plus, it would be great expos...

They are all now posted on dbt.com.

I'm impressed with how you all have deciphered the new songs just from the recent live versions. I thought I was an obsessive fan, but this is truly astonishing.

The McCabe's show was fantastic. I was a little bummed that I didn't go to the Saturday show but after reading the posts here, I definitely picked the right show. I loved how McCabe's told everybody to turn off their phones and just enjoy the show in the present. We talked to Mike and his wife after...

My ears are still tweaked 12 hours later and I can't complain a bit about that. Booker T was a very cool surprise, but hearing "Angels & Fuselage" for the first time in my 10 years of DBT shows was unbelievable. I've always had a bit of a mixed feeling about it as the song is a truly h...

Hi all, Adult Swim has just uploaded a great album of music from Squidbillies and of course, the DBT track is one of 'em. In fact, the version differs from what aired and you even get to her Patterson "duetting" with Early on the line about fightin' whites and tribbles! It's also got Jason...

I always call the venue the day of the show to get the actual start times. Troubadour's number is 310-276-6168. You can usually talk to somebody in their box office around 12:00 noon or so.

Re: DBT on Squidbillies this weekend

I've loved this show since it first came on TV a few years ago. The thing about these Adult Swim shows is that they're mostly just bizarre, but once you get used to the characters, they become hysterically funny. It was really cool how DBT actually appeared in person, so to speak. I kept waiting to ...
