PARTICLE SUMMER TOUR

ill be taping them for the 1st time at cervante's masterpiece ballroom on 15th of friday nite....

aight, i'm pissed off. where the hell is the charleston show? no sc love at all? we've been supporting particle here in the carolinas since the VERY beginning, and have been more than gracious in accepting the band's fickle musical tastes and revolving lineups. what the hell gives?

Thats because the only good thing about SC is that you can buy fireworks at any gas station, 711, or rest-stop.
Whats with that red-neck state flag anyway? I heard Hootie Blowfish wants to take it down.

wow. I can't even respond. I'm sure that everyone who reads your post will reach the correct conclusion about your intelligence anyway. Particle People Unite!

im pissed about no sc love too. they used to never skip charleston. however, last time they came it was none too crowded(on a sunday)but every other time they came it was packed. chilla, that comment makes you look like a retard.

sweet! i bet these shows will be alot of fun!

10/29/94 is the best thing about SC...though i heard u dont have to drink your booze out of little airplane bottles anymore? As far as skipping C-ton...they will be back soon i am sure...Particle LOVES playing the southeast almost as much as they LOVE throwing a dance party! PPU!

Damn I love particle. I caught them in san fran before new years & a couple times in tempe at the beginning of the year. dope ass shows

Dunegrass looks to be pretty killer! DSO RRE Particle YMSB Keller and Greensky! To bad i have to miss out on this backyard festi, ill be truckin to BSC. PPU

No midwest love either. Ohio and St. Louis is the best you could do? What about a Chicago, Indy, or Bloomington?

where's the whole east coast??? no northeast love?? 4/20 was great in NYC! more northeast!!!

They band is touring no stop for the rest of the year. If they havent hit you this summer, good chance they will this fall.

This band is hot lunch.

I think the band is gonna hot the Northeast in late October. They are booked at Harpers Ferry in Mass on Halloween. Go Combe !

I guess I will have to do some traveling to catch Particle this summer they,re not stoppin in Virginia at all....normally they make 1-2 stops in richmond

No worries...they have spoiled us Midwesterners for years.....while it does suck they aren't coming around...i have no doubt they'll be back!

PARTICLE!!!PARTICLE!!!PARTICLE!!! Lets hope our fellow tapers get out there and share the groove cuz all I have to look forward to this tour are the recordings!!!

For all those bitching about them not coming to your area....you have no clue what goes into booking a tour - it isn't easy they're doing their best....have faith, they WILL BE BACK IN YOUR TOWN SOON I AM SURE!

at least s.c. isn't new jersey! nothing worse than yankee-necks....

Just because your jealous that you missed the JERZY PARTICLE THROWDOWN doesn't mean you need to be bitter! LOL TABERNACLE KNOWS HOW TO PARTY!

The only time I saw particle was in Orlando Florida At the Social, They put on an amazing show! The crowd totally feels them
I cant wait to check them out with three11 up in Jville next month and Ashefest in August.

Philly needs some Particle Love!!!! Thank god for the party in 'Nacle in April otherwise I'd be jonesing more then I already am. Hope to have those tapes up soon folks.

sucks that theyre playing with matisyahu and 311. otherwise i would go to the show in my town

Boooring!

blah blah. talking about diversity doesn't make you diverse. last time i saw particle (only a few months ago) it pretty much sounded all the same to me :)

Particle lost their appeal!!!

"at least s.c. isn't new jersey! nothing worse than yankee-necks"

lol...sure there is...Panic fans from SC. ;-)

GO SEE PARTICLE!! Of my 5 years of being a fan, they have not rocked harder than this year!

so happy to hear about the second album..

the sound has definently evolved since the last album

YEa STL....The Duck room is dope. Particle is amazing too.

yeah they just had a show here in chicago about a month ago... i should have gone, i haven't seen them yet. and i bet those 311/matisyahu/particle shows are going to be very very cool...

philly is looong over due!!! doooo it!!!!

I wish Scott Metzger was still with them

Who cares? Boring

wilco is boring. Particle is smokin, I saw them last year, with the new line-up Ben Combes is a better guitar player than Charlie was, I enjoyed his solos alot.
The only vocal was groove is in the heart, and it was great!
The second album Transformations is the best release from them hands down, hell its LIVE!! I can't complain!! I just don't see how some of you see them as boring, thats crazy talk!! piece.

bring back CHARLIE.they suck without him.Oh yeah someone put a pin to steves head,it`s getting rather big.

Hi Guys,

I can't wait to check out the new album....hopefully you'll manage to squeeze RVA in this time around...we miss having yall back here!

Much Love--Lindsey

Northeasterners don't worry they are doing a tour that will hit the northeast ni the fall.

I saw particle in Detroit on 4/14 and on 4/20 in NYC, the new songs are rocking, they're tighter than ever and look like they're having fun playing. I don't know about you, but when Charlie or Scott were in the band the vibe on stage didn't seem as relaxed on stage. They're really letting Ben's guitar lines lead the direction of their jams lately. GO SEE PARTICLE.

I thought it was hilarious when Charlie was being interviewed about getting booted from the band and he mentioned Steve's annoying "stage presence" thing...I swear sometimes it looks like he's trying to shit out a baby while playing a simple melody on his keyboards. I agree...he is getting rather big-headed.

"Particle lost their appeal!!!"

Ding Ding Ding! Hit it right on the head. They lost their appeal in 2000 and 3.

Been bored with them for years. Maybe their new stuff will surprise! Will C

Steve did rip it up w/Phil and Friends, truth.

I guess Steve should just stand there like a bump on a log... God forbid he get into the music and have fun up there.

coonpath>> agreed. If a band is into it, and they show they are having fun, then the crowd will respond!!! This is common sense really. SEE YOU IN ATLANTA AT THE MASQUERADE SHOW!!!!!

rejunkulous >>> you are absolutely right on!!

I guess selling out venues like The Fox in Boulder and The Bowery in NYC this year means they have lost their edge then? The band is evolving, writing great new material, and having a blast out there. GO SEE PARTICLE!

Lets see who can get the most thumbs downs? Those are always the first posts I read.

anybody else think steve looks like richard manuel? c'mon, maybe a little?

particle is garbage. especially without metzger.

if anything Steve looks like Luke Wilson in the Royal Tennenbaums.

I've seen this band 6 times with the last being in Detroit a few months ago. Best Particle show I've seen so far. If you don't like this band then you just don't like jambands period. You have to be crazy to think this band is boring. Losing Charlie and Scott was the best thing to happen to this band. Ben more than holds his own by himself onstage, and he brings a darker sound that they were lacking with Charlie. They aren't my favorite jamband, but they are still the shit night in and night out.

touring with 311 and matisyahu doesn't make me want to see them. and molitz butchered shakedown street with phil. my two cents.

and in case no one noticed, they're playing ashefest. so before you bitch about no southeast dates you could pay $70 to go see em at a chill festi at the east coast version of Horning's.
my four cents.

your four cents make you sound like a dick. asheville is 4 or 5 hours from charleston and again the tickets cost $70. You really showed me.

i feel bad for those southeastern folk who don't get to see ben combe rip it on guitar. if you had lost faith in this ban, he will renew it! listen to SIX LONG WEEKS!! working on the album has made the chemistry between steve and ben crazy on fire...

dedhed, don't be a dick. no one likes an asshole. instead of bitching and moaning you could start planning now to save around $200 and have a great time at a festival that will probably be headlined by either new monsoon or particle. It's at the end of the summer and is gonna be fuckin great. instead you'd rather bitch online. you really showed me how much of a fucking tool you are.

such strong personal attacks. well i've made a point not to join in these things anymore. so think what you wish my friend. That being said, what's wrong with wanting to see one of my favorite bands 10 minutes from my house for 15 or 20 dollars? Why would you assume that I have $200 to spend on a festival? I am an adult who works for a living, not a kid whose parents pay for them to attend festivals. $200 is a big hunk of change when you have to pay rent, utilities, car, insurance, etc. Maybe you'll find out someday. As for now, I guess I'm not as much of a "hippie" as you because I'm not gonna jump in my v-dub and cruise to a crispy festie to check out the vibes bra. The Music Farm is the SHIT and i simply want to know why in the world particle didn't book it first. peace

and weren't you only 11 when Jerry died? I guess you grooved to him in between barney and the wiggles, right?

Less

particle is the sickness
get ready to shake that booty!

would you like some cheese to go with these whines?

"like i thought, a fucking kid. 1984's calling, it wants its stupid fucking kids back." (message sent to me by dedhed)

For your information I've been on my own for several years now, pay my own rent, own my own car which I bought and pay for, work full time, go to school, and still go see music. All by myself!!! . Don't be a hypocrite, and like I said before, don't be an asshole. No one likes em. And actually yes, I did groove to Jerry when I was 11, thanks to my parents (Charlotte 95, still got the ticket stub). And it was YOU who started the personal attacks, so before you keep talking shit like I'm sure you really want to, realize that you are "an adult who works for a living, not a kid whose parents pay for them to attend festivals." Act like one.

pistols at dawn fellas. that will solve it. :P

why does negative energy follow me wherever i go? guess I exude it and it returns karma style. whatever, I don't need advice from a 23-year-old kid on how to be hip and not be square. pistols never solve anything but life, and it ain't a problem to me.
