Knife] Hello. It is with a lot of grief and weariness that I announce that tonite's DMBQ and friends show @ Club Exit has been cancelled following a tragic car accident today. DMBQ's van rolled from I-95 in Delaware en route from Baltimore to Brooklyn this afternoon. All members of the band have been hospitalized, as well as Michelle Cable from Panache Magazine and booking, who has been managing their tour. Mana "China" Nishiura did not survive the accident. China was DMBQ's drummer, as well as the drummer in Shonen Knife. China will be missed. Michelle Cable is conscious following surgery for a head injury. The other members of DMBQ are stable but sedated and are expected to recover. That's all the information I have. None of the bands tonite nor I felt up to a rock show following the news. We are tentatively planning to continue with tomorrow's show @ Kingsland Tavern as a benefit to cover DMBQ's travel and medical expenses. If the bands and I decide we can't go through with the show, I'll send out a cancellation. Thank you for you support and your understanding. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Nov 2005 02:29:35 -0800 (PST) From: Capuchin Subject: Re: reap (fwd) On Fri, 4 Nov 2005, Eb wrote: > Mana "China" Nishiura did not survive the accident.

There is a band called "Examination of The", there may or may not be an ellipsis at the end of their name. I ordered their EP "Lady in the Radiator" because the last song on that EP is one of my favorite songs ever, although it is more spoken word than an actual song. There is no date anywhere on the CD, although I understand it has recently been rereleased on 12" vinyl. I have a very low tolerance for the first four songs on this CD because they sound like an intellectual version of Pantera, a genre I have heard called "screamo". I could listen to the last song all day though, it is called "Dysmorphia". There is a lovely new age piano, and a woman speaking calmly and rationally about her mental illness, sort of a poem but not a rhyming one. A man is speaking the same words in the background simultaneously. There is a lot of artificial static at the beginning, making the song sound long ago and/or far away. I expect David Lynch would approve. I meant to contrast Stickfigure's behavior with Yep Roc's...Stickfigure knew that they could mail me a pound of stuff for $1.42 media mail, so they did. I don't recall how Spooked was shipped to me, but I will always remember paying an absurd amount of postage for being on the East Coast.
