they're playing again on the 26th at cakeshop funny they have the poster says TWEE AS F**CK

also other good bands from sweden is blind terry and nana grizol from athens

[readytoignite]

cause commotion are you serious? in interview is what's up in nyc, them and crystal stilts (who are admittedly off topic for this threak)

[Fookums]

^^

Yeah, I saw em again at Popfest the other week. They need more love.

I'd go to the Cakeshop one but the 21+ thing kills me.

Also, Tullycraft was awesome. Sad I wasn't able to catch 'em at Pianos, but I saw 'em at the "secret show" at Cake Shop which was pretty cool. I'm also still kicking myself for not finding a way to get to either of the Cats on Fire shows.

The international tweeXcore underground will SAVE US ALLLLLLL!!!

listen to los campesinos! Defintately my favorite band of the moment.

Just got the new Manhattan Love Suicides compilation album in the mail from Squirrel Records. Pretty excited to give it a spin soon.

[Fookums]

Nice, I just ordered it a couple of days ago, but I'm looking forward to it. Really love them.

[CBM]

ah, you're from ny. have you seen them?

also, are you going to that twee as fuck gig coming up that the pains of being pure at heart are playing at? if so, i am so jealous.

[Fookums]

Sadly, I've only begun to listen to 'em recently (past couple of months or so) so I missed out on them when they played here.

As for the pains show, it's 21+ so I don't know if I can make it. I'm going to be in the area at the time, so I might see if I can still get in somehow. I've seen 'em twice but never as a headliner, so it'd be cool to see 'em play to a crowd thats into 'em as much (and moreso) than I am.

Pains were good at popfest--were you guys at that music hall show?

[drewtetz]

i love this thread. i dig the genre as a whole, but have never really known too many bands to look for. now i've got somewhere to start, at least.

does anybody like Best Friends Forever? their song "MyHead In Front Of Your Head" got stuck in my head at seven last night and was not dispelled by sleep. soooo catchy, so adorable, so good. i guess they may actually be more indiepop than twee punk, but it's the only thing i have to contribute to the thread.

[isoform]

milky wimpshake...anyone?

another sunny day - you all should be murdered...? (a personal anthem...)

tullycraft, boyracer, beat happening, and the feelies* -- classics i loved since highschool. :]

nice thread.

[Fookums]

Mhm. I left after the Orchids show though cuz I was running around the whole day.

I also caught that Tullycraft + Cannanes show at Cakeshop earlier that day which was pretty awesome. Tullycraft <3.

yesssssss! i have been listening to 'lovers, not fighters' so much recently. MW are so awesome.

and i love another sunny day so much. especially you should all be murdered, and anorak city.

also, i am so jealous (again) Fookums. i would kill to see the cannanes. did they play 1991?

[readytoignite]

another sunny day - you all should be morrissey...? (a personal anthem...)

fixed for you... boyracer - not a great band. tullycraft - really not an ok band. at all. no matter how many twee pop bands you can namecheck in a song

[isoform]

yeahp--smiths rip off. did you want to be congratulated on pointing out the obvious?

got around to finally grabbing some early television personalities...pretty cool post-punk stuff--don't really see how it's tweepunk. six cents and natalie is next on my list.

Vivian girls, crystal stilts and some others on august 6th @ sneaks in toronto

.. please someone be going

[Fookums]

huh, do they count as twee stuffs?

Either way, they're both pretty good. I saw Vivian girls the other week, and Crystal Stilts the week before that. Have fun with the show.

[Guest]

Oh yea right, twee.. eh well lookin forward to it anyway

[bluespring]

^thats a pretty good line up vivian girls and crystal stilts ;0

sucks for me the vaselines and crystal stilts show is sold out in nyc ;/

[Fookums]

now I'm just a hypocrite but since they've already been mentioned..

Anyone checking out the Vivian Girls/Crystal Stilts/caUSE-co-MOTION/the beatz show on Saturday at the Silent Barn?

prolly gonna check it out. hit me up if you're going ;x

[bluespring]

^nice, definitely going

[readytoignite]

^^^ that show's actually on friday as per todd p's website. i'm probably not bothered tho

[Fookums]

yea, he changed it like, right after I posted it up haha.

Would've preferred it on Saturday but oh well.

[shoreman1782]

Been listening to Tullycraft--The Singles a lot lately.

Anyone in DC going to the Julie Ocean show at Fort Reno Aug 7? More power pop than twee, but good stuff and Velocity Girl heritage.

[Fookums]

yo I'm bumping this cuz I can.

Los Campesinos!'s new album is pretty good. I think I'm liking it more than their first.

I've been also listening to a lot of Boyracer and Ethnobabes lately.

Good shit all around.

I just came back from Love is All also, not exactly Twee-punk but fuck labels, they're fucking great and there's nowhere else better suited to talking about them on sufuz.

I also saw caUSE co-MOTION last week and they're great live. Definitely have to catch more of their shows. And I'm pretty sure they at least fit into this thread.

And then heading to Pants Yell! next week which should be great. Sad I missed em at popfest but I need more twee gigs in my life.

Is the new campesinos out already?? Im really excited to hear it, but ive seen like 3 differenent release dates for it. Ive listened to a few of the tracks on their myspace, but i want to wait to actually buy the album before i listen to the whole thing.
