Long Beach’s Magic Lantern have finally gone and released a new sonic document after what seemed like an eternity of waiting. Eagerly anticipated by those who have been biding their time waiting for the band to get on with their uber limited cassette only and CD-R releases (their Self-Titled CD-R was limited to 30), “High Beams”, the band’s latest opus [...]

OK, so I found out about this show (The Jesus and Mary Chain @ The Glasshouse on Thursday, April 26th) a week or so ago (met the guy who will be doing sound for the band when they are in the states) and up until today thought the show was going to be a secret show, similar to the one The Pixies played a couple years ago at The Glasshouse, the night prior to their first reunion show at Coachella. Apparently I was wrong because The Glasshouse has opened the show up to the public, with tickets going on sale this Saturday at 10am. Really I don’t know why I’m telling everyone. Ya’ll better save me a pair.
Having The Jesus and Mary Chain play at The Glasshouse is really making my day since they are the only act at Coachella that I would really like to see, and the thought of braving a 100,000 people in the desert heat, with only a one lane road in and out of the polo grounds, really just doesn’t appeal to me. Sorry, I guess I just ain’ that hip.
Performing with William and Jim Reid will be former Ride drummer, Laurence Colbert, and I can’t remember who else will be joining them, but I’m pretty sure it is someone important. See, I can’t remember because there was booze involved in my conversation with their sound guy. and Mark Crozer will be joining them on guitar.
Anyways, here is a fitting download for this post, it is The Pixies covering The Jesus and Mary Chain’s song, Head On, at the Leysin Festival in Switzerland on November 7, 1991.
If you are unfamiliar with The Jesus and Mary Chain’s music, you better head over to Buddyhead’s Medication mp3 blog to pick up a couple of tracks.

If I get tickets to this.. I will sell my Coachella tickets. It was the only reason I was/am going.

Same here. I would LOVE to see them at the Glass House. I hate festivals!
