Seriously, why don't people tell me when good bands reform? I couldn't give a monkeys about Pixies or Pumpkins or, um, 5ive... but The Dismemberment Plan?! Come on, kids - keep me in the loop.
The DC-based indie-rockers broke up in 2003, but are getting together for a benefit show for producer J Robbins' unwell son, Callum (click). The four-piece will play The Black Cat, in Washington DC, on April 27 and 28.
Tickets to the show that was announced first - April 28 - sold out in three minutes according to Pitchfork.
Newcomers: The D-Plan are/were Travis Morrison, Eric Axelson, Jason Caddell and Joseph Easley. You should seek out soemthing. I'd recommend Change, released in 2001. But only because I'm playing it now.
More details HERE.
The Dismemberment Plan
.
Emergency & I is a really, really good album.
Even though I really, really loved some of their albums
I'm not too bothered about this
why would you?
unless you live in the district?
great band
saw them play in front of 10 people at the Milton Keynes Pitz !!
well
they might really enjoy it and decide to do a world tour!
Or they might not :(
......
they didnt bother with the UK when they did a Farewell tour, why start now? Eric and Joe have started a new band
!
Change is a genius of an album.
I'm hoping this will lead to full come back age.
play here, damnit!
...Is Terrified is worth a fairly large look-in too. in fact, they were consistently and thoroughly fantastic. buy it all.
I have
Emergency & I. It's quite nice and all but I can't see what the fuss is about with this band. They sound like a collection of session musos playing expensive equipment in not very interesting songs.
god yes!
i've been waiting for this for a long time, goddd.
this just made my day.
news is still news to those who haven't heard it.
now run along.
!
I only discovered the fact the day before so it's not too late in my books...
dismememberment rules!
They were great, tight&inventive pop songs!
I recommend change and emergency&i too.
pity no uk shows.
I remember them!
Saw them play at Zak's, in Milton Keynes.
Much fun.
thats it !
not the Pitz like i said before, it was Zaks, probaly the only time i've ever ventured into Milton Keynes. I can remember the support band 75% Lip cuz of the foxy bassist
FUCK YES
THIS HAS MADE ME SO HAPPY.
Listening
to 'Emergency & I' for the first time in ages, I forgot how ridiculously stunning some of the songs are...especially 'The City', 'Gyroscope' and '8 1/2 Minutes'
MK gig
Stumbled on this old, OLD thread through some Googling and it was nice to find, since I put on that D-Plan gig at Zaks! I recently found an old tape of it which has been uploaded here:

There were about 140-150 people there though, not 10! And it was the day after "Change" came out. Good times, great band.
