LOAG detonated copious tears on April 30 for Uncle Joe's!
(which closed unexpectedly a week after our show)
and for Sick Passengers (their last show).
Actually we weren't crying at the show for Uncle Joe's because its demise was so sudden.
But still, the weird karma was evident.
And financially lucrative for LOAG!
LOAG gleefully recombined forces w/Dave the Spazz and The Collisions (sounding even hotter!)
at Magnetic Field on March 26.
This show featured a new setlist by LOAG which almost burned out all working excitatory synapses.
That's a good thing.
LOAG heeded the call to rock out last minute at Opaline
with DENTISTDENTISTA (formerly Nimbus) on January 24.
This show was our first with Ted on DD's drums and Erin and Emily on their backup vocals.
We also traded spit when we used DD's equipment.
But they don't know, so don't tell them.
LOAG clicked with El Jezel at Siberia on January 13.
We liked them.
Especially when they covered The Cure's 'Disintegration' with so much panache.
LOAG opened up its presents with extra sexy xmas Nimbus at Magnetic Field.
Eggnogging kabobing, indeed.
December 18 was a giddy time.
Bobby Cocktail spread the cheer and Liz had her last show with Nimbus.
LOAG went ga-ga at Magnetic Field w/Dave the Spazz and Boston's The Collisions.
This October 16 show was our virgin gig with this combination
and we all felt quite attached to each other afterwards.
In 2005 this same selection of A-list headliners supported our humble act.
LOAG escaped Siberia entact with Nimbus, The Sw!ms, and Okay Paddy.
Eventually the night ended. But not before the basement was engulfed in a rock firestorm
the likes of which ye had not yet seen until September 25.
We love our PA sister bands!
LOAG was Wild, Wild, Wild! on the stage of Sin-e back on August 3.
Other bands had both nipple rings and their parents in the audience.
We had neither. But we still tore it all up with our newest song "Gene Autry Deathmask."
It was a Tuesday night, so we weren't even looking for that much.
LOAG rained down the wet and cold rock to a meager but hearty hollerin' crowd
back there on June 17 at Trash (formerly Luxx).
The Sick Passengers sold their newest record afterwards
and throroughly whupped Paul and Chris at a pool game hustle.
LOAG premiered its mug at CBGB's on June 10
in the downstairs next-door venue called CBGB's Lounge.
Nice place, comfy sofas, wow sound. You should come along next time.
Restrooms are down there. )))>
LOAG and Nimbus wrought a fine dust of Chaotic Good charm
over the rabid folks in the crowd of Magnetic Field on May 22
LOAG eats potatoes at Luna Lounge on May 7.
Remember this one? Well, it was a Friday night. And LOAG opened up
and got very tender and charming. Solos got wicked hott and sweaty.
LOAG found a gorgeous new soundhall at The Hook in Brooklyn on Thursday, April 8.
Also in attendance on stage and in the audience:
Hopewell and The Caulfield Sisters.
If music were apples these would be infused with veins of carmel and feverishly devoured.
Thursday, April 8th came off like bottlerockets cooked in Balsamic Vinegar.
More food metaphors available at our next show.
LOAG loafed on the sofas at Luna Lounge with Pete Shelly for an hour.
Or was it just an incredibly delicious fantasy?
Also: the Thursday, March 25th crowd enlisted Icy Hot Stuntaz.
Green light: GO! ...Red light: Shh! ...Green light: GO! ...Red light...
you get the point.
But honestly: Freddy's is like playing at your favorite uncle's back deck in Brooklyn, PA.
Saturday, March 13th was our first show with Erin on bass!
LOAG rises phoenix-like from the rock ashes to smote the fans of Magnetic Field yet again!
Nimbus tore it up for a night of debauchery and mayhem
celebrating MF's 1st year birthday.
LOAG vs. Nimbus vs. Chowtime
vs. Big-game hunting video games meant only one thing:
Magnetic Field Day!
Remember June 7th? First, it rained. Then: it didn't matter.
The boom-boom-boom? Ted's last show? Andy wigging out the tunetables?
Nimbus cranking out a new song and wrestling that gooseneck mikestand thingee?
Even the ghosts kick up a dance storm system.
LOAG freed up a big FREE big gig at Knitting Factory. Free.
We did the vinyl 7-inch split "single" record release show with La Pieta.
Saturday night. May 24th. Punks got in fleas.
Even the neighbors asked us to turn up the volume.
LOAG showed jumbo-flavored affection for sister band Nimbus
at Magnetic Field in Brooklyn on May 10th
for what turned out to be the first of a late Spring 2003 double-headed LOAGNIMBUS beast.
Those who attended brightly were rewarded with the Icy Hott.
LOAG looked sinister indeed at Southpaw in Park Slope, Brooklyn
on Friday, April 25th with
fellow sound wave throwers: the vouchable Hula,
the Village-Voiced Elk City and the unmasked She Sus.
LOAG played nice with The Sick Passengers and Bisexual Wrestling
on Friday night, March 14th
at The Local Bar (Rock Star Bar) on Kent St in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
LOAG formed like a Minuteman Voltron at the drop of a bowler.
Lakeside Lounge had a nice, cozy, ringing feel to it.
We were there Tuesday, February 4th for an intimate Tinnitus show.
So close you can smell it.
Freddy's, was pleased to meet the LOAG audience.
on Saturday, January 25, 2003.
Even though we missed Greg due to the evil terror of Vomitting Sickness
We still hogtied the patrons of Freddy's
And left most everyone's ears cleaner than ever before.
Southpaw, in Park Slope, Brooklyn, lumped some 'rock tea' with LOAG.
Kudos to Low-Beam for opening this Thursday show.
For helping us trash our first 'Green Room.'
January 7, 2003 (Tuesday) found our heroes at
Knitting Factory (in the very downstairs, other Alterknit Theatre)
This was LOAG's premiere at The Knitting Factory.
A Big-Rock-Thanks-Again to Hula and The Sems.
(Sorry about the snowball in the face after the show)
Meow Mix made Lungs of a Giant growl on November 23rd (Saturday), 2002.
With La Pieta, The Parting Gift, and Nurse and Soldier.
La Pieta and LOAG equal a whole lotta lovin'.
Pray to the gods of Christmas Past for a new split 7" single
which we recorded with the very winsome La Pieta.
Sell your stun clocks on eBay:
November 14th, Thursday, found LOAG at Luna Lounge
at a sweet-spot time for listening to the new classics.
Video taken by Dan Blank has really helped LOAG stay in the game.
Hula opened for us, and we plan on returning the favor in January.
Shirts ahoy!
What's this?
A t-shirt designed by James Kochalka Superstar,
...and... WORN by the same James Kochalka Superstar?
At a big fancy Comic Book Convention!?
In front of hundreds of folks with cash in their hands!?
Only in Ed's wildest erotic dreams was this ever conceived.
Shhhh!
LOAG made sense of the Galapagos back-room stage
on Wednesday August 28th at 12am, midnight.
Also performing that evening:
The Styrenes at 8:30pm and The Blam at 11pm.
This place has swell digs too.
Pools of water, tropical plants, maybe some pirates.
Maybe a Giant Tortoise.
A big huzzah to Jersey City's Uncle's Joe's for the August 16th show.
And an even bigger kablammo! to The Mometers,
for their gracious invite, many talents, and infinite kindness.
NJ also digs Joss.
Man, it was a dark, strange and sweaty night,
full of blasts-from-past at

"Rock 'n' roll like you've never heard it.

Concert footage for the 2nd Acme Underground show
used to be available at MusicTV.com.
Looks like they didn't have a viable business plan.
Here is what MusicTV.com critics had to say about LOAG:
"Extra fine modern rock ensemble that has lively spirit and very cool songs.
With that ultimate alternative rock sound,
the group blends the exotic and experimental keyboards
with alternative rhythms and delightful vocals."
In February we
played
Brownies during a sudden snowstorm
which dropped a foot of snow on the NYC area in 12 hours.
We were pleased with how well it all turned out.
