CONAN PICS, VIDEOS, AND PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS
May 8th, 2008

Thanks to those of you who tuned in and watched or TiVoed us on Conan O’Brien on Monday night. It was an amazing experience; not only getting to play, but getting to see Conan’s rehearsals, seeing how they put together bits and the monologue, how they decide what stays and what goes, and getting to meet Conan (who was really stoked on Teppei’s Nash guitar, btw). Performing on TV is always a little scary at first, but the rush of playing and then having everything go well is really gratifying. If you missed it, you can see it on NBC.com.

The multi-talented musician, backline tech, computer wizard/programmer, and photographer, Chris Jones, took some photos during rehearsal.

In other news, the “Come All You Weary” video is done, and will be premiering on absolutepunk.net on Friday. We’re really happy with how it turned out, and I actually think it’s the quickest editing process we’ve ever been a part of. Zach (Merck), the director, did an awesome job. Hope you all enjoy it. Let us know what you think in the comments.

We’re in Philly tomorrow at the Electric Factory (one of my favorite venues). A trip to South Street, and Jim’s Steaks is in order. A hometown show for Circa. Hanging with the mewithoutYou dudes. Stoked.

The new Russian Circles album, “Stations” is out now. Go get it.

More photos, videos, and babble coming your way soon.

Be good.

  3. princexero

    can’t wait for your new video! Im so stoked!




  4. Kaila

    You guys did totally amazing on that. Although, I was kinda bummed that I waited since that February post to see it and you only played one song. I was hoping to hear a song and an interview.
    Awesome tho.

    BTW; I can’t get enough of Daedalus = Amazing




  5. Michele

    It was fun watching you guys on Conan, and congrats on finishing the CAYW video :-D Can’t wait to see it.

    Ahhh two and a half weeks until the SF show!




  6. Mike

    I had to work and don’t have TiVo, so I guess the clip on NBC.com will just have to do. I have tomorrow off though, so I’ll be first in line to see the new music video. I can’t wait to see what you guys cooked up for this one!




  7. Russell

    That was great last night. Can’t wait for the video. And i’d like to say Conan is a huge man.




  8. Gavin

    Nice job on Conan. The C&C kit is awesome. So is Jojo Mayer.




  9. Weihsin

    CAYW tommorrow!
    Can’t wait!
    Yeah and you were perfect on Conan.

    (btw I’m 9th! haha)




  10. Jorge

    Can’t wait for tomorrow now, I wanna see sum ‘o dem Buffali in the vidya!




  11. Chris

    I saw “From the Basement” on Vh1 at midnight a couple of days ago.
    I really like Bodysnatchers




  12. Vince

    please put it on in the AM
    i’d lover you forever




  13. Melissa H.

    i usually don’t get excited about music videos.. but for some reason i can’t wait for this one. on another note, i get to see Thrice in less than a week! i’m always excited about that..




  14. Parke

    14th!! yeah!!! i guess i shouldn’t really get excited about that but i am. i mean come on. it is thrice. i love you guys. you’ve changed my life about 16.354 times.




  15. holly

    ahah. i was intrigued by riley’s post. sweet. i think im just happy to be avoiding the paper i should be writing on the history of the church…hmm.mmm.




  16. Johnny

    I’ll be there! I’m excited! =]

    P.s. mewithoutYou + cheesesteaks + circa survive = reasons why Philadelphia is awesome.




  17. Neil

    i watched the video of u guys on Conan. I thought it was amazing. maybe I’ll see u guys on tour some day




  18. Megan

    K-Boobs! Look at that one of Eddie! So cute! He’s pointing to you, isn’t he??




  19. Logan

    “Teppei’s been asleep for about ten hours now… I think he’s addicted to drugs.”

    One of my favorite lines from that DVD. So priceless.




  20. chaseT

    the performance was really good, guys. but i have trouble staying up late at night so i ended up just watching it online tuesday. and i undertand that you played that song because its the new single, but i sure do wish you wouldve taken advantage of being on tv and played a bit moreof a high octane song, or something enchanting like th lion and the wolf. but man,

    is the video seriously coming out TOMORROW??!? im so excited!!! im so pumped for tht video!

    and do you REALIZE?! the world gets COME ALL YOU WEARY and SPEED RACER on the same day!!! so great!!!

    pedro’s control album is so fantastically great. but russian circles is too much like pelican for me that it just seems too unoriginal to listen to. but i havent heard much yet.




  21. Mo

    yeah i checked you guys out on Conan right before i saw you guys in bmore, kinda crazy how that worked out. i didn’t even know you guys were playing on conan that day. i just happen to be in town from college and caught it on Tv. keep it real. i’m out.




  22. Hugo

    YEAH JOJO MAYER!
    He’s such an inspiration, isn’t he?
    I wish I was good enough to really learn stuff from him. Got his DVD for starters.

    And Solace is just the kind of record that will never leave my life.

    As usual will check out the other bands named. Out of the 4 dudes you’re the one I end up with the most new music I like. Teppei’s more old school stuff and I also enjoy Dustin’s stuff, and Ed hasn’t posted anything since forever (The Mercury Program? although I’m sure I saw those from you too.)

    Playing on (and especially meeting him and the people) Conan is one of those things that if I were a true musician I’d dream of. Kudos all the way. And see if you can get those last two Sonnets on thrice.net on, if it ain’t too much trouble, please.




  23. Joe

    you guys.
    are great.

    was this post necessary?
    ABSOLUTELY.




  24. omair

    that was a great performance! im sincerely very happy for you guys




  25. jon

    haha i definitely set my alarm for 1:00 monday evening/tuesday morning so i wouldnt miss conan…which worked out cuz i fell asleep around 12




  26. Denise

    Seeing you guys on Conan was awesome. I stayed up with my mom watching it. xD She was like, “So who are these guys? Rice?” (She’s Portuguese, sooo she has this thick accent. It’s funny sometimes.) Haha. I was all, “No mom. THRICE.” She just had a problem pronouncing the ‘Th’. ANYwho. [/life story]

    Sounded good. ^_^




  27. sam

    at the drive-in on guitar hero.
    sweet.
    like that guy said, deadbolt would be even sweeter.
    new video.
    sweet.
    tomorrow.
    even sweeter.




  28. ed

    Don’t eat Jims!!
    Giannas on 6th inbetween South and Lombard has the BEST vegan cheesesteaks, and almost anything you can imagine. So much better than any other pizza shop in the city.




  29. Denise

    Megan: “K-Boobs! Look at that one of Eddie! So cute! He’s pointing to you, isn’t he??”

    Haha, I just realized Megan was talking to me. And I reply with: Yes. Yes he was. xD And yes, he’s rather dashing.

    A.K.A; K-boobs/K-mountains. Yessiree.




  30. SeanLang

    “P.s. mewithoutYou + cheesesteaks + circa survive = reasons why Philadelphia is awesome.”

    You forgot the Fresh Prince.

    Russian Circles new cd is finally out. Time to search for that bad mother of a disc.




  31. israel

    So, Conan loved the Nash guitar huh….did he ask or try to play it? Oh and how was it seeing his hair up close? Did it try to attack you or say anything? The performance was perfect.




  32. Hugo

    The new vid is beardtastic guys.

    The beards now have their place in history!

    Nicely done video. Very pleasant to the eyes.

    Denise: Portuguese plus Thrice- equals TRICE at best lol. You got that right.




  33. Joe

    AWESOME VID
    GO CHECK IT OUT FOLKS




  34. Katie

    i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you

    the video has such an amazingly warm feeling.

    & riley: finally a playlist i can really appreciate ;-) pedro rules, stoked to hear the new russian circles and radiohead is just a “duh.”

    ONE WEEK TIL CHICAGO!




  35. Weihsin

    ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh CAYW is just perfectly awesome.




  36. elaine

    great video, nice job. i really like the lighting inside the barn–i know that’s a weird compliment, but i’m a film nerd. the video had this “o brother where are thou” feel.




  37. JM

    so, is that a Bible on the wooden chair? lol

    absolutely loved the stripped down and hopeful feeling of this video!




  38. Vince

    So the Come All You Weary Video is without a doubt your best video yet. Whereas Digital Sea had a very artistic feel to it–poetic in terms of design–Come All You Weary delivers in poetry as well as feeling. The cuts to the weary, the laboring, the young and old–they’re perfect, and the switch between all four to just Dustin and Teppei outside the barn was awesome. This was one of, if not the best, music video I’ve ever seen.

    The player’s still on, and “Broken Lungs” has just come on. Is it horrible that I’d like to see a music video for that? It’d be something else…that’s for sure.

    Anyways, incredible job. I loved it.




  39. Robyn

    The Conan performance was quite awesome! I wasn’t able to stay up and watch it, but did record it the old school way! Watched it in the A-M the the next day as I was eating my breakfast, before work… “Come All You Weary,” is starting to be one of my favs! I loved the feel of the video too! You dudes are always wowing me… no matter what you do! Keep rockin’! I get to see ya in a week! Gotta love Chicago!




  40. Tyler

    http://www.absolutepunk.net/thrice_video.php

    amazing!!! the best cinematography i have seen from a thrice video




  41. Kyle

    k-boobs haha




  42. Melissa H.

    aw, i love the video! how cute was that little girl on the swing? thanks for the awesome video!




  43. Johnny

    I forgot the Fresh Prince AND Bill Cosby!
    How silly of me. =/




  44. Trask

    Wow, I love the CAYW video. A lot. It’s very reassuring.




  45. Ryan

    That’s the first video I’ve seen of Dustin in a long time in which he hasn’t been wearing a plaid shirt.




  46. kate

    haha so observant, ryan.




  47. adam?

    my girlfriend makes fun of my extensive collection of plaid shirts/boxers/bedding.




  48. JS

    So i go on these and see people say “OH I”M FIRST”…but um, thats all you say. It’s not a comment so don’t count it as one.

    on the other hand, i like the new video. *snaps*




  49. israel

    Loved the video. Perfect location for the song, and the intro to the song was nice; it gave it a personal feel seeing you guys all come in and take your places. Thanks for the enjoyment and inspiration.




  50. Dan the man

    Amazing job on conan, even though dustins voice seemed a little sore/tired but i’m sure mine would sound similar after several nights of touring. CAYW video was amazing. I demand another DVD sometime soon. please?




  51. sam

    new video is sick.




  52. Denise

    Hugo - Haha. I love being Portuguese.

    Kyle - It’s because my username on Thricescene.com is Kezia. ;] And, well, we won’t get into why my nicknamed turned into K-Mountains. I don’t want the embaressment. XD

    I watched the CAYW video last night and I really liked it. ^^ Though, I think I’ve listened to it too much. I think I shouldn’t, I might get tired of it.




  53. sam

    hey dustin, could you tell me how you do your hair?
    it’s pretty rad.




  54. Kyle

    Tomorrow night, Worcester Palladium, its gonna be ill!




  55. Kyle

    k-boobs:
    this is Heaven_Sent_Reply from thricescene forums lol. just seeing k-boobs again made me laugh




  56. Denise

    o hai der kyle! xD
    Lovely seeing you here. ;] And glad I could make you laugh. ^^




  57. Collin

    Great Show tonight in Philly go enjoy your cheesesteaks you guys earned them
    -limpranger




  58. Reno

    Yea the show in Philly was Godly. So amazing and ill try to post the setlist later on.




  59. Andrew

    Nice music video for CAYW, I liked the colors and shades.
    It would make my year if you guys played Image of the Invisible May 27…




  60. Jess

    you were amazing. please hurry to aus!




  61. Hugo

    Red Sky is still my favorite vid, especially because of the water drums,
    although CAYW is very likely your best yet.
    The one thing I’d change about Red Sky is that I’d… make the sky, well, turn red. Right at the end of the empire part perhaps, sort of alternating between colors maybe. Gotta have that awesome blue it has.




  62. Jeff

    CAYW is simply amazing! Fantastic job guys! (but really…when do you guys not amaze us?)

    NEVER!!!

    10 days until awesomeness!!! See you there!~




  63. kate

    um anyone here aware that scarlett johansson did a tom waits cover album??

    WEIRD.




  64. Denise

    I’d also like to say plaid is a Canadian thing. :P It has been for a long time.. what with our lumberjacks and all. I have a few plaid shirts.

    kate - Scarlett Johansson sings? O_O




  65. Kyle

    Today is probably the worst day of my life, I have 2 tickets to the show at the Palladium but the person I was supposed to go with bailed and no one else can go with me. I pray that Thrice comes back to MA, somewhere close to Mansfield, soon or this summer, because this really sucks.




  66. kate

    kyle-

    i’ll be there via fed ex in approx 2 hrs.




  67. kate

    oh and yes Denise, apparantly Scarlett Johansson sings.




  68. JM

    she’s actually pretty good. i’ve heard one of her own songs. i think its a tom waits cover album with 2 songs totally written by her.




  69. Ryan

    If anyone from the band reads this. Can you try to play for miles and the whaler Tuesday….I have heard them both live before. i just think it would be cool.




  70. Scott

    Kyle, why didn’t you just go by yourself? I think Im doing that for one of the shows in Anaheim. I don’t even care.




  71. Joe

    I think thrice should have a dedicated post on LOST and their takes and theories :)




  72. Kyle

    Scott, I would have gone by myself for sure, but since I’m still 17
    my parents wouldn’t let me drive out there alone, which is a pretty
    far drive and I wouldn’t just leave my house,because sunday is
    mothers day and I wouldn’t do that to my mom. It gave me the worst
    feeling not being able to see them after I spent $50 and
    won’t be able to see both Thrice and Circa Survive together touring
    for a while. The same thing happened to me on their tour with
    Brand New too, where my friends screwed me over.




  73. Trask

    Kyle: that sucks, a lot. I hope it’ll work out for you next time they tour.




  74. Scott

    That sucks man. Ah to be in high school. So glad that part of my life is done. I would have asked my parents to go. Hahaha. Man, i can’t even contemplate how much that sucks. Sorry man.




  75. adam?

    omgz! no wai! play “the next day” @ tuesday sho plz!




  76. Kyle

    k-boobs.
    good laugh is always fun.




  77. dswish

    jojo is outstannnnndddiiinnnggg. good choice.




  78. Moony

    http://frodus.com/content_acalltoarms.html

    seriously, read that.




  79. Melissa H.

    hello there Thrice.
    my best friend and i are attending the Pittsburgh show (so yay for that!)
    i promised myself i wouldn’t ask for any songs to be played.. but what could it hurt? now, i’ve got the whole song pool thing down, meaning i know better to ask for any songs not on it (for instance, it would be silly for me to ask for Blood Clots and Black Holes, even if i really wanted it ;) ) so anyways.. my friend would love it if you guys played The Whaler. and i would be so grateful if you just happened to be feeling like playing Hoods on Peregrine on Wednesday. that being said.. i’m just excited to be seeing you guys again, no matter what you decide to play (obviously.. ) and for a fun little note.. this will be the 3rd state we’ve seen you in over the past few years.. ha.
    see you on Wednesday!

    (this comment was also posted on their myspace page.. i haven’t decided yet if i’m embarrassed about that or not.. ha. )




  80. kate

    melissa-

    you’re cool.




  81. adam?

    i’ll have a setlist for buffalo’s tuesday show. someone should update the song pool thing so i can see how many times they’ve played each song.




  82. Chris

    Mooney.

    That was the most relevant thing I have read in a long time.




  83. Chase

    So last night I was hanging out with a friend and an awesome thing happened. He was getting ready to leave so we decided to listen to a song. (We always skip through the Ipod to find an appropriate song to end on when we hang out) We were standing outside and it was a windy night. You could hear the wind blowing through the trees. (I live out in the country where trees arn’t in sidewalks) Anyway he turned on his truck and the first song that came on his Ipod(which was on random) was a Song for Milly Michelson… It was a great song before but with the enhanced element of wind blowing it was awesome!! It made the song like 20 times better… Then I got to thinking.. I am going to go dig some holes and listen to earth… Go burn something and listen to fire, and chill in a pool and listen to water… It makes the CD’s way better….




  84. Andrew

    @Moony
    Thanks for the interesting read, whoever wrote that has his head on straight.
    I assume the author used the name Demosthenes as an allusion to Ender’s game…




  85. Chris

    @Chase…

    It’s always windy where I live so I’ll have to check it out.




  86. Denise

    Melissa H - I’m embaressed with about 80% of what I say on here. xD So you shouldn’t worry about it, really. ;]




  87. Trask

    Moony: that’s the next-generation punk manifesto right there. It’s probably the most fulfilling thing I’ve read in a while.

    Chase: now I want to do that, haha.




  88. Jay

    Can anyone direct me to some drawings/paintings of icarus besides those that are on google image search? I’m trying to design a half-sleeve tattoo for myself and have always wanted some kind of reference to icarus and the story to be part of it. Any help would be appreciated…Thanks.




  89. JS

    Tonight in Clifton Park was amazing. Great crowd and the setlist was AMAZING. I’m trying to piece it together right now but i’m sure it’ll be up eventually…i’ll tell you now though they played FOR MILES for the encore. Amazing.




  90. JS

    Alright gets a little fuzzy towards the end but a majority of the setlist i was able to remember..you get the picture!!!!

  91. Tyler

    i dont think anyone could judge a setlist from thrice.
    they are good live no matter what they play.
    all their songs are good!!!!!




  92. Melissa H.

    Kate and Denise: thanks :)

    Jay: try searching for “Icare” instead of Icarus. it’s a different spelling and brings up lots of different pictures and paintings. and i really love that idea.




  93. Katie

    man. i really want to bump into the guys before the chicago shows on friday & saturday and go grab pizza or something with them.

    i have so many questions for them and so much to tell them. haha




  94. John A

    Amazing show at Clifton Park last night. Definitely worth the extra wait from the canceled show in Albany in December




  95. adam?

    hmm, they didn’t play “the whaler” last night… that means a better chance i get to see it tonight woo.




  96. holly

    CAYW VIDEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. geeze, i havent posted for a while….a sunny day in california. I am so glad.




  97. Ryan

    I hope the crowd is good tonight.




  98. Craig

    CLIFTON PARK SHOW = AMAZING!!!!! The set list was soo great and it seemed like everyone in Thrice was at their best. The crowd was pretty awesome too. very respectful,Except for one drunk guy Dustin had to kick out but there has to be that jerk. It was probably the best Thrice show I’ve been too if not the best SHOW I’ve been to period.




  99. JS

    Mmmm yes, drunk guy was ridiculous and had to take attention away from the band. i was standing a foot away from him when the whole thing happened. Everyone wanted to jump the guy, but it was handled well and Dustin was very cool about it and talked right to the guy and told him to “Just go outside and chill”…after all that b.s. they went into Daedalus to calm everyone down. Good timing?!




  100. Logan

    JS or Craig… so, what exactly happened?




  101. alex

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAkv9NYApgw
    the clifton park episode, dustin can handle anything




  102. Trask

    Dustin’s the man. I’m glad all the drunk people in Hartford stayed in the back near the bar. (Though the “DEADBOLT!”s did get annoying.)




  103. Katie

    oh mannnnn.

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=4Gz9mEZX0yM

    the breckenbros don’t know their 90s.

    and riley needs to imitate James Hetfield more often.

    bwhahaah




  104. Mitch

    I saw the show on NBC.com! You guys did great, like always. Wish I could have been there, but I’m glad I got to see yall at the Masquerade in ATL. It’s more personal being able to walk up and be right at the front.




  105. Chase

    SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I had the weirdest dream the other night… It started out after the Thrice show in San Fran (which hasn’t happened yet) All of a sudden I was in the motel walking down this hall… I think the rooms were in the 60’s… All of a sudden Dustin walked around the corner with his big bushy beard.. I was like WOAH!!! But I didn’t freak out I was totally cool.. I caught up to him and was like, great show man, I really admire your work. And then he was like “Thanks man, do you wanna come hang out?” HELL YEAH I WANNA HANG OUT!! So anyway we walk down the hall to Thrice’s room (curiously it was a room at the end of a hall… Motels don’t really put rooms at the end of halls like that..) I don’t know for certain but the room might have been # 69… Anyway the dream kind of jumps around a little bit.. All of a sudden we are in the room and Dustin is just kind of sitting on a queen size bed.. There is only one bed in the room so the 4 have to see who is sleeping on the bed and who is sleeping on the ground… For some Teppei wasn’t around… Anyway, Teppei and Dustin were going to share the bed. Ed was laying next to the wall reading some philosphy book, still wearing his hoodie. Riley’s bed was two chairs that came in the room.. You know like when your a kid and you pull to chairs together to make a bed? That is where he was sleeping… Anyway… Riley and I started talking and he pulled out a guitar and started busting some major riffs… Weird thing was there was no amp… The music just came out of nowhere… It turned out that he had the same guitar as I do! And LTD EC1000.. SWEET!!! We talked for awhile about music and different bands we liked… I don’t know why I was only talking to Riley.. Ed was just reading.. Teppei was MIA and Dustin was just chillin on the bed… In my dream I found out that Riley likes Tool and Lamb of God, who knew? And he is also pretty much the most amazing guitar player in the world… Anywho.. At that point I was conscience of my dream, so I tried to malipulate it… (It works sometimes..) But sadly this time in the process of trying to get a jam session going, I woke up… :( But anyway it was a pretty cool dream… I think it will culminate into DEJAVU… So if you wan’t to hang out with Thrice in a hotel room go to the holiday in, rooms 60ish..

    I just thought I would share that amazing story with everyone… If you have any other Thrice related dreams bust them out…

    Also at this time I would like to say: Thrice, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE play “Like Moth to Flames” on the 25th in San Fran… Don’t you know me? I could never be ashamed of you!!!!




  106. Ryan

    If anyone from the band is reading this. I just wanna give you a huge THANK YOU for the show in buffalo(williamsville) Great performance, i was like in the second or third row, between teppei and dustin for most of the night. Set was incredible…
    thank you

    I wanted to hang out, or see if i could meet one of you/or just say hi after the show, but i was with like 5 people, and they wanted to leave, so i was out voted…maybe next time

    thanks a lot

    katie: thanks for sharing that, that was fantastic..

    i think dustin and ed had to break up a fight in cleveland last time i saw them.. it was pretty funny actually.




  109. matt

    guys! (and gals!)
    great news! i think i’ve decided on a design for my tattoo!!

    im looking at getting a heart (with tears and rips in it) that has a black cloud moving out of it (and up my arm) with the line “remove the cancer, take back your souls” wrapped around it.

    not sure if that made sense… kinda hard to explain in writing.

    i think that sounds pretty cool matt.




  111. Ryan

    hey adam is that the right order, it seems a little off.




  112. kate

    Matt!!

    That sounds pretty cool. Post it a pic up when you get it done so we can seeeeeeeeeee. Anybody else wanna post their thrice tatts up? I would love to see them. I think I saw Katie’s chest piece and it was awesome.




  113. Hugo

    GRRAGH that is such and awesome setlist from Buffalo.
    It has just the water songs I want (cept Atlantic but hey lol), Dust and Nations and so many great ones I’d love to hear. bah
    If I’d caught them that would’ve been where and I’m pissed off.
    grumble.




  114. Melissa H.

  115. Sean

    VINYL NEWS YET????????? >.




  116. Chris

    Hey everyone, I’m not the typical person to plug something in here, but some really good friends of mine made a podcast, and have been for about the past 4 weeks, I really enjoy listening to it, and maybe you would too, they talk about current events, music, do some movie reviews sometimes, and talk about some things they saw on Youtube.

    You may not like it either…I don’t know any of you.

    Check it out at myepicast.org




  117. Chris

    oops…

    sorry, it didn’t work.

    www.myepicast.org




  118. adam?

    i’m pretty sure that’s exactly how the setlist went. though i didn’t write it down until i got home after a 1.5 hour drive.




  119. Joe

    not really a deathcab fan, but have been listening to the first two tracks, and i’m really liking what im hearing.

    any other stuff people into at the moment?




  120. Logan

    I really like that Jakob band Riley mentioned in this post. also, I checked out the mercury program and they’re pretty cool. and pelican. weird, they’re all instrumental bands.




  121. JM

    yes, i highly recommend and am currently listening to:

    between the buried and me - colours
    &
    protest the hero - fortress




  122. Ben

    I’ve been really into Jakob - Solace since it came out. I should check out their older stuff, actually. The formula is always the same (phase + crescendo), but it always rules.




  123. Katie

    man i am dying here
    no thricescene.com for a whole day?!?

    uhhhhhhhhh friday is the big day! and saturday.. haha

  124. Ryan

    I wouldnt of mind if they would of played digital sea and moving mountains in buffalo, but oh well….amazing show….

    they played the whaler one of my favorite thrice songs, there was a tear…;)




  125. tim

    I was in Barnes and Noble today and they had Dustin’s solo album playing in the store. I thought it was pretty cool.




  126. tim

    And…

    On the note of music that we’ve been listening to:

    As of late, I’ve been listening to Panda Bear’s new album “Person Pitch” non-stop. It’s pretty weird, but I’m really digging it. If you guys get a chance, you should check it out.




  127. holly

  131. travis

    listen to this…
    i was sitting at a red light today and had “lion and the wolf” playing with my windows down, and this older lady (60’s maybe) said “excuse me sir, but are you sick?” and i turned the music down and said “umm no why?” and she replied “because people your age don’t listen to good music like that”. hey THRICE you hear that?! you’re making MUSIC. not garbage.. keep it up :)




  132. Hugo

    You should have asked the lady to wait a sec and listen to another of the band’s nice peaceful tunes, the Messenger.




  133. matt

    travis-
    ha!! thats awesome.
    i got two people at my church (he’s 40, she’s 33) into Thrice, and she got HER MOM into Vols 3&4!

    Thrice is amazing…




  134. Oscar

    Sean-

    I just recently discovered Minus The Bear and am really digging them too!

    I’ve been listening to:

    Anything and everything of Thrice :D
    Minus The Bear- Planet of Ice
    Rodrigo Y Gabriela- Live at Manchester and Dublin
    Radiohead- Hail to the Theives
    Streetlight Manifesto- Somewhere in the Between

    I’m very random with my music




  135. Denise

    Melissa - ;)

    kate - You should try! Hell, I had the chance to talk to them, and I didn’t because I was too shy. They were getting into a car a few feet away. And I mean, they even stood there a talked for like 5 minutes. xD Then they left! And I was kicking myself cause I didn’t take the chance. I probably would have tripped over everything I was saying anyway. :P Maaaybe next time. I think it would be a nice experience just being able to talk to them.

    Wow, I totally just wrote a story. xD Sorry, guys.




  136. Melissa H.

    Matt- Secret and Whisper are quite wonderful, love them :)

    okay.. last night’s Pittsburgh show set list..

    The Lion and the Wolf
    Hold Fast Hope
    **Between the End and Where We Lie (okay.. honestly i don’t remember.. but i’m pretty sure.. )
    Motion Isn’t Meaning(!!!!!)
    Broken Lungs
    Digital Sea
    Burn the Fleet
    *Random funny noises.. it started with Ed trying to fix something.. and then Riley and Teppei were goofing around.. eventually it turned into something you may hear on a 3 Stooges episode.. it was funny.. they looked like they were having a lot of fun with it..
    The Earth Isn’t Humming
    Firebreather
    The Messenger (right after Firebreather?! awesome!)
    *The first couple lines or so of The Artist in the Ambulance.. and then Dustin stopped, apologized for something.. and started over again.. pretty funny
    Artist in the Ambulance
    Flags of Dawn
    Daeldalus
    Open Water
    (?)Like Moths to Flame (i’m maybe 85% sure it was here.. could have been right after Artist.. but i don’t think so)
    All That’s Left
    Silhouette
    Read Sky
    Deadbolt

    Stare at the Sun (Dustin solo)
    Come All You Weary
    The Earth Will Shake

    and the show was amazing.. i’m pretty sure it’s now my favorite show ever. i was right up front directly in front of Teppei.. Pelican was sweet, Circa played an amazing show and of course Thrice owned. it’s weird because there was no back of the building.. so the buses were right in front of the front door.. so that was cool. i saw Ed walking in when i was in line (getting rained on.. ) and i tried waving.. but i’m not sure if he saw :( there were about 5 people between us and they just stared.. had no clue who he was.. lol. i didn’t really want to call out and cause a commotion.. we waited afterwards for a minute or so.. but there were sooo many people waiting because the buses were right out front that we figured there was almost no point.. on a side note.. i got one of Circa’s set lists.. i was thrilled. sorry this was so long..




  137. Melissa H.

    and of course by “Read Sky” i mean Red Sky




  138. princexero

    strange and fuckin’ awesome setlist!!!!!!!!
    motion isn’t a meaning!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!




  139. Denise

    Man, I’d love to hear Motion Isn’t Meaning live. That’s one of my favourite songs.




  140. Melissa H.

    yea.. i about jumped over the barrier when Motion Isn’t Meaning came on.. i was so excited. and it was amazing live. i thought the order of the songs made it really intense.. it was cool.




  141. Trask

    They played Motion Isn’t Meaning? That is completely awesome




  142. Hugo

    When was the last time they played Between?
    Not anyone’s number one request but I love that song and that sure is a unique experience. kudos.

    Motion = damn perfect live song. hope to hear it someday (like everything else lol)




  143. jon

    CHANGES TO THE PITTSBURGH SHOW SETLIST!!!

    i actually have it in my hands right now…the one that was in front of dusting cuz thats where i was….yahhh

    instead of between the end and where we lie it was for miles
    they never played like moths to flame (although i wish they did)
    and what i though was funny is that they called all thats left “all yinz left” (some good pittsburghese for ya)

    the rest is right and quite frankly im amazed you remembered it with such detail like order and everything haha nice. but you did forget the LETS GO PENS chants haha
    oh and when dustin was doing stare at the sun acoustic me and the kid behind me did the echo for “when i understand or go blind” and dustin smiled

    my life is complete haha




  144. zach

    ATTENTION
    I have one extra ticket to the SF show, Sunday 5/25 (somebody I bought a ticket for bailed).

    PRICE: Purchase of Volumes 3&4, in exchange for ticket - I know, I haven’t bought a copy yet :(
    *Optional gratuity - a 6 pack of beer and/or a pack of cigarettes :)

    CONTACT: Send me a message via MySpace - http://myspace.com/snwbrdr4004
    I will then figure out a way to meet up with you and give you the ticket.

    **If you are poor, I will gladly waive the purchasing of Volumes 3&4. And I’ll buy you dinner, too. I’d actually rather give the ticket to somebody who can’t afford it - but don’t abuse the offer, please. :)

    lovezachary




  145. Sebastian

    Teps, Dustin, Riley, and Ed, YOU MUST ALL PLAY AT THE WARPED TOUR OR I WILL BE SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED. ;[




  146. Melissa H.

    jon: thanks for correcting me! see, i live in ohio.. it’s about a 2 our drive home.. and i stayed the night in Pitt.. so by the time i got home with all the excitement i KNEW i was messing things up.. i even listened to all the songs i thought i messed up and i SWORE i was screaming every song they’ve ever recorded.. lol.. so yea, i knew i messed a few things up.. and yes there was the “lets go pens!” chants and also Ed asked the crowd if they ever saw the movie “Roundhouse”(?) or something like that because the place reminded him of it.. it was a collective no.. ha.
    also.. if the guy who sung back up during Stare was right behind you.. you must have been practically right behind me.. that’s kind of cool :) were you there during Circa? because i thought it was cool how the guys kept coming out and hanging out right by that door and watching them perform..




  147. Andrew

    Do you guys think it’s too late for Thrice to add more songs like Image of the invisible, The sky is falling, and The Arsonist to their song pool, or do you guys think they still have some tricks up their sleeves they haven’t used yet? (I’m hoping for one of those on May 27)




  148. Katie

    did ed maybe say “Roadhouse”
    the glorious hit film with patrick swayze?!
    hahaha

    also, i didnt even realize motion isnt meaning was in the pool of songs!!! maybe they just decided to play it special at that show or something? has it been played at any others?

    GUYS! I LEAVE FOR CHICAGO TOMORROW!!! i am so so so so pumped.




  149. Colbs

    Hey guys, I’m diggin the set lists so far. But, could you guys please play motion without meaning (or isn’t meaning) in SLC? That along with The Whaler would be great.. And if it doesn’t happen, i don’t care but it would be nice.. See ya on Wednesday!!

    P.S. I promise there will be no Deadbolt chants because everyone knows you will play it eventually..




  150. Chris

    *in reference to the office*

    DAMMIT ANDY!!!




  151. Melissa H.

    katie: most likely… i didn’t really hear him all that well.. there was somebody screaming something behind me.. but that makes WAY more sense :)




  152. Katie

    CHRIS!
    AGREED!!!
    ARGHHHHHHH.
    i nearly put my fist through the tv.

    aaaand SCANDALOUS DWIGHT!!!




  153. Melissa H.

    just so everybody knows.. somebody uploaded almost the entire Thrice set from Wednesday’s show in Pitt onto youtube.




  154. jon

    melissa: i wasnt over to that side, i was in the very front center. like up against the rail front haha. and maybe the guy behind you did the echo but i know around me, me and the other kid were the only ones who did it. and yeah, i had no idea what ed said there regarding the movie…i was just like damn i missed what he said haha




  155. Melissa H.

    jon: yeah i was up front against the rail too.. but in front of Teppei. it was probably you i heard.. because who knows with the way noise floats around in places like that.. and i probably saw you or your friend.. i leaned over the rail and laughed because it was mostly girls against it - the first guys(from my point of view) were right in front of Dustin. so hello, hah.




  156. jon

    haha i was the 17 year old with the long hair who looked like he was 12 if it helps at all haha
