Send them an email and tell them you have X amount of days/weeks to live and that it's your dying wish to see the melvins AND boris on the same show.

Better yet, offer them drugs, lots of drugs! The Vice magazine guys like alot of drugs.

Sweet. Dutch rockers Orange Sunshine are currently playing some shows there, also with Earthless. Made me feel very jealous, as both OS and Earthless are incredibly amazing.

rant alert.  don't read

vice magazine recently gave The Residents a "middle finger" for a review. 
that magazine is pretty vile and foul and disturbingly "hisptery".  my roommate works at American Apparel and they get copies for free so i look through it now and then.  it pisses me off.
the residents review, for example:  RZ are pretty obscure, agreed?  if someone knows about the residents well enough to want to read a review, the odds are they know about them because they like them.  one doesn't find out about the residents, hate them, and then want to know all about their upcoming album.  writing a negative review for an obscure album is just a fucking dick thing to do.  someone will find out about this band they never heard of, just to see that the album "sucks"? lame.  only popular music should be reviewed badly - the type of music that someone will pick up on a whim because they have heard of the band.  that way, someone can find out about the negative aspects of an album and not bother getting it if they are so convinced.  nobody who doesn't know the residents is going to pick up "Tweedles" just because the album cover catches their eye.  and now they definitely won't because their hipster bible told them not to.
fuck vice and the community it supports/directs.

FART LIPS DIDNT MENTION THE INTERVIEW!!!!! ALERT ALERT!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!?!?  THINGS ARE CHANGING!!!

i don't know, there are a lot of shitty obscure bands out there that deserve bad reviews. as far as the residents go, they are kind of a band you can get into at any point in their time line, and if someone read a bad review and then decided to maybe check out some of their earlier stuff instead of starting with the newest one, that might be better than them hearing the newest one, going "god they suck" and never listening to their old shit. personally, i have heard a lot of residents albums and i really don't like much of it after the commercial album.

[Vcavallo]

a partial rant:

you're right, people should delve into the back catalog instead of judging the most recent work...
which is why vice should have said, "their most recent album sucks, but the stuff in the past is genius"  instead of (actual quotes here:) "i have no idea if this album is consistent with their back catalog or not and i aim never to find out." and stuff like, "this is a smug industrial rock record made in the early 90's mode by people pushing 50"  and "the residents are one of those bands everyone is aware of but no one under the age of 35 has ever heard"
okay so here's what we've learned:
1. if you're younger than 35, you're too cool to be bothered with stuff that is "before your time" or listened to people older than you
2. if you're over 50, you aren't allowed to make music that vaguely resembles anything made after (at least) 1990.
3. if you're anyone: only judge a band by their most recent album.

again.  Fuck Vice Magazine.

oh yea, and the co-founder was quoted saying, "I love being white and I think it's something to be very proud of, I don't want our culture diluted. We need to close the borders now and let everyone assimilate to a Western, white, English-speaking way of life."
ok.  now fuck vice magazine and its creators.
