Re: Is any "Beat Happening" happening

anyone know if they have any plans to tour?

I thought they were ancient history, with Calvin long since having moving on to Dub Narcotic Sound System and other things. False rumour?

Calvin Johnson - 2013 Tour Dates
05/21/13 Cambridge, MA Elks Lodge w/ Arrington de Dionyso's Malaikat dan Singa, Chain & The Gang
05/22/13 Brooklyn, NY Ran Tea House w/ Arrington de Dionyso's Malaikat dan Singa, Chain & The Gang, Erin Earthling
05/25/13 Cleveland, OH Survival Kit Gallery w/ Erin Earthling
05/26/13 Chicago, IL Co-Prosperity Sphere w/ Hunter & Josh
05/28/13 Minot, ND Laughterhouse United States

I am just outside of Cambridge...wish I had paid closer attention to my own thread . hadnt a clue he was playing locally the next day . Ha!

Minot? Seriously? Who did Calvin piss off to get stuck with a booking there?

Are there any big Beat Happening fans here? Indian Summer and Our Secret are pretty much all I need. Are there any other great songs in that catalog? This Band Could Be Your Life made it seem like Calvin was kind of a douchebag.

p.s. Personal clarification: My son is named after the character Calvin from the movie Barbershop, not Calvin Johnson.

And my son isn't named after any particular Elliot, although I do like both Elliott Smith (whose name was misspelled, because he took it from Elliott Street in Southeast Portland) and T.S. Eliot (whose name was misspelled, and I don't know why).
