So, about five months ago, we expertly delivered the sensational news to our loyal readership that those fuzzy, feedbacky, scuzzy, bubblegum motherfuckers The Jesus and Mary Chain were doing a bunch of, you know, touring-rock-band stuff to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their seminal Psychocandy. That “stuff” included shows in various North American cities, including Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Austin, and so on. We thought it was a dynamite news scoop, to be honest! Only… well, turns out you guys didn’t care at all! We only got like 29,000 Facebook likes, which is WAY below our usual standard. “What gives?” we asked ourselves.
Then it hit us. All those cities are fucking LAME. I mean, in hindsight, I don’t know why we didn’t notice it before? Denver?? Seattle??? BOOOOOOORING! No wonder we didn’t break any news readership records on that one. But I’m happy to let you all know that, along with our good friends in JAMC, we have officially RESOLVED THE ISSUE: there’s gonna be Psychocandy shows in NYC and Philly. Oh, and L.A. too (as part of FYF Fest). Boom. Sensation!!! Those cities are way more popular. I think it’s safe to say that both the band’s legacy AND our website’s credibility are officially secure now.
According to the press release, these shows “will be the continuation of a year of activity not only celebrating the 30th anniversary of Psychocandy but also looking firmly ahead to the future.” But really, who cares about that? We just want more web traffic. #New York #Philadelphia #AwesomeJobNobodaddy!
