Dallas-ish (Reuterz) - Super secret mystery band booked for event; millions
puzzled
"How does Hime do it?" they ask.
Andrew Hime announced today that he has booked a super-secret mystery band
for the Sunday night of his cosuardstockapaloozathon 2002
fest event, held annually in late May. People around the world are fraught
with tension and indecision about whether to be excited or remain
indifferent. Those few who have opted for excitement are wondering how Hime,
25 and currently living in Denton, manages to book so many great bands every
year.
Josh Baish offers one possibility - "It's just whichever band's ass he has
his head up this week." Baish, owner of Denton indie rock venue Rubber
Gloves, has never himself had a head up anyone's ass, though many will admit
to getting screwed by him.
Hime offers another theory - "I think some bands like an opportunity to play
to a different crowd at a low cost and give something back to their loyal
fans at the same time. It's an opportunity for a band like Chomsky to play
to a smaller crowd, and opportunity for acts like Mac IX vs the Carbon
Community, Prescott Curlywolf, and Deadman to play to a crowd who is not
familiar with their music."
Indie rockers far and wide were alarmed at the mention of a "techno" act
playing such an event and guaranteed they would crap their pants, especially
if the act were good.
Hime is mum on who the super secret mystery band is - "I signed a contract
swearing to not reveal the name of the band or person. All I can say is it's
not Creed, and they're coming from Europe."
