I'll be seeing some of you guys at the shows this weekend, starting with the Gilman tomorrow night (it is still Thursday night here). I'll be at all 4 shows in the Bay Area. I'm so excited and CAN'T WAIT!!!

[agrizotti]

Having trouble to registrate on that site. Is there anywhere else I can listen to it?

edit: nevermind. got it

[gone2pasalacqua]

Wowwwwwwww I haven't been on GDC in forever. Ah sheit. Frustrators at Gilman tomorrow night! well technically today. I'm goin to bed.

[Katarina.]

Have fun everyone going to their shows! I'm not able to go, but lol, if I was going to their upcoming shows, after them I'd say something like "The Frustrators broke up with me after the show, they told me it's time to let go" :lol: Loving Griller even more now that I've listened to it more. Also, I like to listen to West of Texas and Part 2 in a row, sounds great.

[Nele]

I'm just listening to West of Texas Part 2 and I love it. Ach, dammit, why do I gotta live in Germany? Have fun at their shows everyone.

[Marki.]

I'm in love with Griller, that's all I have to say...all the songs are amazing

I wish I had any chance of going to Cali now (even more than I normally do). The fact that I'm just not going to see the Frustrators makes me very sad, but have fun everyone, for all of us who can't go! =)

[ParadoxAndPlaid]

Finally got the album in the mail! It's amazing! and it smells nice!

Question though; when you guys play it on your computer; what do the tracks read as? My i-tunes seems to think it's a Driller Killer album. Wtf.

Also the warning on the back of the album is great

Gig next Sunday.

[alaniluau]

I love all the excitement the Frustrators are inspiring! I'm certainly sending buckets of love to the guys over in Cali.

[agrizotti]

Really want to hear about the gig last night!

[Bastard of 1967]

Also the warning on the back of the album is great

Better keep it away from Tre, that's all I gotta say......

[Insomniac186]

Really want to hear about the gig last night!

Here's my quick rundown of the show last night at 924 Gilman:

The band took the stage around 11:45 and played until almost 1 AM. They opened with "I Slept With Terry" and then probably played every song they ever recorded, plus covers of The Cars "My Best Friends Girl", and a Blondie cover but I don't remember which one. The last song of the night was "I Slept With Stanley" for their chicken mascot. Also during their set they brought people on stage and had them wear Frustrators tightie whitie underwear. They were great and had good energy.

The atmosphere was much different than when Pinhead Gunpowder played there, which was the last time I was at Gilman. For one, there was probably half the amount of people there. Also, the bathrooms smelled so bad the whole building reeked of urine (even the band joked about it on stage). Mike was very sociable and walked around for a while without too many people noticing him at first (Billie hid behind a van across the street the whole time when PG was there). Between bands he signed autographs and took pictures, and then stood in the crowd and watched while the other bands played. His wife Britney ran the merch booth. While waiting to approach him I heard him say that Green Day will NOT have a new studio record this year. He signed my vinyl copy of "Bored In The USA" and told me that "Bored" and "Achtung" are going out of print. He also signed my Sweet Children EP, the second pressing of course. When he saw it, he said "You know, the question wasn't even posed to me!"

^ Thanks for the recap! Sounds like loads of fun, I like the sound of I Slept With Stanley . So cool that you got to talk to Mike too. I've been really curious to hear about this show, glad to hear it was a great one.

[djrossstar]

Finally a review! Sounds great!

Awesome, thanks for posting! Sounds like it was a great show

I really wish I was there, oh well. The setlist must've been.. amazing. And lol at the last song.

[lastnightonGDA]

oh my. I'm seeing them tomorrow and didn't even realize that I will probably get to meet mike.

[Katarina.]

Ahaha, I don't know who runs the Adeline Records twitter, but I laughed about their latest tweet. :lol:

The Frustrators' "Griller" now on sale through the Adeline Store! Definitely a lot healthier than "Fryer".....

Also:

Terry from the Frustrators will be calling in to Fearless Radio on Wednesday Feb 23rd at 6pm CST, don't miss it!

[solongfromthestars]

I wish there was some way I could get to one of these shows I really do love the Frustrators even without them having a connection to Green Day.

Awesome lyrics to Stigma! I can't listen to anything because of my broken speakers though

OMG!!!
