Review: The Damnit Jims - 'Never Die'

Come see what's going on with us tonight!

Doors are at 7pm!

DC FALLOUT JENN FIORENTINO

Hey look! We still have a Tumblr account! Wondering what we've been up to? Well, we've been hard at work relaxing, partying and keeping up our every-two-months-posting-an-update habits. We've also been preparing new material for a couple releases coming up in the Spring and Summer, one of which is a split with our pallies DC Fallout on Felony Records and one that's all by our lonesomes. We played a fun-as-fuck show with Unwritten Law in Palm Desert, CA last month, and we have an equally fun-as-fuck show coming up in March with A Wilhelm Scream, the Flatliners, Vultures United and Lowbrow at Slidebar in Fullerton, CA. We're stoked to be playing with all these bands again, because they make us multiple-eargasm.

I give up on trying to be regular about this blog shit. I'm always either too hungover, too busy, on the road with no internet, have too little time, or I'm too hungover. So instead of saying we'll get better about it, I'll promise we won't get worse about it. Meaning every once in a while we'll throw something up here. Like now.

I'm sitting at Starbucks (naturally) in our hotel in Reno, NV getting some work done and watching some gross-ass dude clip his fingernails 5 feet away from me. Disgusting. We're biding our time until we play tonight at Shea's Tavern here in Reno. We had a few days off and turns out Reno hotels are cheap so we've actually been in town since Monday, doing nothing much. Turns out there's not too much to do here in Reno except get wasted. Turns out that works for us.

Lots has happened since the last blog. If you've been following on Facebook, or Instagram or Twitter then you have some sort of idea. We had a helluva run with our brothers in DC Fallout. Played some of the best shows of the tour with those guys, starting in Chicago with Counterpunch, Stay Golden, August Premier and Gunner's Daughter and  culminating in Denver also with Allout Helter, the Repercussions and No More Excuses at the Marquis Theater. We also got to go to the Blasting Room again courtesy of Jason Allen, one of the nicest dudes in music. Only this time, Bill and Alkaline Trio were there putting the final touches on the new record. Everyone was really cool and the 10 seconds of the record my ears pirated sounded pretty fucking rocking! So that was neat. We also had an EPIC BBQ with the DC boys courtesy of a few of you generous people. We stuffed our faces with all kinds of meat, had a homeless fire in a trash bin, drank countless beers and partied the night away all 20 feet from the Kansas National Guard station.

We also had an amazing show with our buds the Bastard Suns in Atlanta at the Masquerade. I tried to stage dive during the Suns, failed, fucked up my knee and looked really stupid. So par for the course, really.

New York was as fun as always, and we're lucky to have had our 10 day stretch there end right before the hurricane or else the rest of this tour would've been canceled! Our thoughts are with all our family and friends there. We also played with a slew of rad bands in New York too.

Hey! So we've been bad about updating this here tumblr but we're going to get batter about that. Just not in this post, because I'm tired. Tonight we are playing with the Queers in Fort Walton Beach, FL at Coasters. Pretty stoked on that! And acouple days ago we played with Fishbone in Houma, LA. We met some awesome people that fed and drank us and showed us what that southern hospitality is all about!

But the real important thing I need to mention here is our open hands in front of you just waiting to be filled with riches. We meet up with DC Fallout in like a month and it's of the utmost importance that we have an EPIC BBQ. Fancy outfits, tasty burgers, beans, beano...you get it. And we need to have fun activities to do while we BBQ. All this requires exactly $500. No more no less. Now while my tone is obviously (hopefully) somewhat mocking, some of you nutso people have actually donated. Greed being what it is, we now have a bloodthirst for more money and will stop at nothing to get it out of your wallet or you cold, dead hands. Whatever. So just remember that when making your decision on how much and how fast to give us free money to have a BBQ in these difficult economic times. There are starving kids in Africa yes, but there are starving punk bands RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA!

Much more to come in the next couple days, use that time to ease your way back into our good graces by giving us free money.
