In case people were curious as to what The Transgressions sound like, here is their recent E.P. - "Waste My Time." If you like it, please come to this show and support the band or pick it up off their MySpace page...it's only like $5...and it rules!

The Transgressions - "Waste My Time" e.p.



Track Listing:
1. Braindead
2. Going Nowhere
3. Bored
4. Wasteoid
5. Waste My Time
6. I Wanna Be Your Christian Slater

"The six songs on The Transgressions’ first EP, Waste My Time, tend to blur together, not just because they’re all simple, melodic, and short pop-punk tunes (the longest clocks in at 1:29), but because singer-guitarist Ben Gretenhart always ends up in the same place: drunk or high, alone at home, and kinda hating himself for it, but not enough that he’d actually get off his ass to finally shave or do some laundry. The EP—all six and a half minutes of it—is a hoarse-voiced yet joyfully catchy ode to being a real crum-bum, fuckup, pain in the ass, disappointment."

Sucks that this is the same day as the English Beat.

You should come to this show. Ben from The Transgressions is a big scooter/moped rider. He has a club called Unholy Smokers in Madison. You guys could talk 'peds and shit and watch cool bands.

[jjjsXe]

I am aware of his moped interests. But when am I going to see the English Beat next?? Plus, he is friends with my friend Chad and I can always go up to Madison and hang and ride with those dudes. And I'm sure they will be back.

Just listened to this band. It's pretty much my goal now. HOWEVER, if someone from this band reads this board, I'm a real nice guy.

[Nick]

2 brand new songs were posted on Lipstick Homicide's myspace page. Both are unmastered, but still sound good. Love the harmonies. This band is gonna rule.

[Thom]

I'm gonna ruin some more options at this show.

YAKNOWWHATIMSAYIN?

This might be a late show (8-9 start time, so pretty normal). Airbag and Tyborn are playing the early show at the mews.

Word. Everyone come here after that show gets out. Tyborn should play both.

[Nick]

Lipstick Homicide's newest album for people to check out. Support the band and come to this show if you are into it at all. Come even if you aren't into it, so you can heckle Thom.

In case you don't read the general discussion forum, Boy Meets World posted their demo. Check it out. It rules.

The Transgressions just posed a brand new song off their upcoming split with The Side Project on their MySpce. It's called "Kidney Stones." It's about taking pills. It's probably their best song to date. This show is gonna rule.

that album art is precious

[Nick]

Flier. This might change some. Would still like to add one more band...

[Thom]

Wait, so is anyone striving to find another venue for this? I'll keep my eyes and ears open.

[Nick]

Anybody have any ideas on where this show might be able to be held at? I'm sorta at a loss and The Transgressions leave for tour on Friday. I'd say they could play my garage if I didn't live in a townhouse. DMSC has some wrestling thing going on the night of March 5th.

Anybody know who to contact about a show at the Beechwood? I'd prefer not to have this at a bar, as that would pretty much mean 21+, but I don't really know where else to do this at point?

Suggestions? Anybody know of any cheap community halls that are cool with hosting shows or something like that?

People have mentioned the four mile community center but I don't think anyone has tried yet.

The place on Easton Blvd?
HAHa, I remember trying to have shows there. I forget the problem we had with them but I remember loading in, being really upset about something, possibly breaking something, then leaving and having the show in Joe's basement. Then we started having shows in Joe's basement until we broke everything and they moved to Zach's house(Da Basement)...then they started having shows there until.....

Maybe they were having shows in Zach's house before..I can't remember. I just remember not liking that community center. Joe Ross, elaborate.

[jjjsXe]

They do have a skatepark built there now so it might be cool actually.

[tylerjames515]

It's worth a shot, and yeah right off Easton.

[Nick]

This is going to be at The Picador in Iowa City now.

I'll change the flier tonight.

EDIT: Flier updated with the new info.....
