Hi Tone Cafe Doors at 8pmWith your hosts, Eric & Zac and DJ Vile & DJ Hoppe

9:00 SPIDER BAGS (Chapel Hill, NC)"openhearted, empty-bottled country rock fueled by bitterness and scalding wit." - CHICAGO READER

9:45 USELESS EATERS (Memphis, TN / Toronto, Canada)"Useless Eaters are a great combination of hy-per minimalist Germs-esque punk, and young attitude crass." - BlogTO (Toronto)

10:30 MISSING MONUMENTS (New Orleans, LA)"The inimitable 'King Louie' Bankston and his band, the Missing Monuments, make flippant, high-energy power-pop disguised as garage punk insanity. Their songs are winding, head-banging chargers, as loose and catchy as they are teeming with hooks and swampy irreverence." - CREATIVE LOAFING (Atlanta)

11:15 VERMILLION SANDS (Treviso, Italy)"Large as Southwestern skies and brimming with heat-sick melancholy , the group's pleasant femme fronted approach is proving that its not just great cold-wave and post-punk that's flowing from Italian shores." - RAVEN SINGS THE BLUES

Midnight MSR. JEFFREY EVANS (Memphis, TN)"I started rock and roll in 1892, now just me and Jerry Lee are the only ones left" - JEFF EVANS

Hi Tone Cafe Doors at 8pm

Music from GET DOWN DJs (Memphis) And your emcee for the evening BRACE BELDEN (SF)

9:OO THE LIMES (Memphis, TN)"Molasses-soaked, shambling, pig-doctor distorto death-folk with a godless 'No Tomorrow' vibe that makes you want to crap standing up. A house favorite." - NEW YORK NIGHT TRAIN

9:45 SUPER WILD HORSES (Melbourne, Australia)"Guitar rock couldn't sound more certifiably vintage Faith Healers britgaze if it were actually performed by a UK four-piece instead of two cute Australian girls." - IMPOSE

10:30 DESTRUCTION UNIT (Tempe, AZ)

Featuring Gonerfest veteran Ryan Rousseau, formerly with

Reatards, Digital Leather, Earthmen & Strangers. "If you

thought Black Flag's 'Damaged' could've been better with a

synth, check out these guys." - UTTER TRASH

11:15 SO COW (Tuam, Ireland)"Like Television Personalities or the Clean at their most en-gaging, So Cow main man Brian Kelly plays rickety guitar-pop that sounds homemade without feeling insular." - PITCHFORK

12:00 HAUNTED GEORGE (Los Angeles, CA)"A paranoid, nightmarish and altogether disturbed aural hal-lucination; each drum thud the lockstep of a weary fella who's lost himself in the twilight of the uninhabited des-ert; every space between beats a sparse landscape devoid of humanity, yet rife with fear and exaggerated panic. Y'know, a BAD TRIP." - TERMINAL BOREDOM

l:OO TY SEGALL (San Francisco, CA)"You're not going to hear many rock records that'll kick you square in the pants quite like this one this year; the kid's got heart, brains, and quite an ear for a hook, and he throws himself body and soul into these tunes. Segall makes quite an impression in half an hour's time.... Melted could charm the sweat out of anybody." - PITCHFORK

FRIED-DAY, SEPTEMBER 24Day Three . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Afternoon Show at the Buccaneer... 1368 Monroe - $5 Beer Bust Grill will be going with cheap eats! 2pm The grill is on! (was that BB King?)

2:30 DATADRUMS (Memphis, TN) "Oscars axe-man Chuck Vicious takes a break from bartend-ing at the Lamplighter to play technological punk rock with Alicja Trout and friends." - GONER RECORDS 3:15 LEGENDARY WINGS (Kalamazoo, MI)"Ex-Throbbing Urges go Husker Du style linear pop and win!" - GONER RECORDS

4:00 GOLDEN BOYS (Austin, TX)"The Golden Boys are real Texas punk rock. There's no pre-tention, no etiquette, and there, on the faces of all six nonboys, are huge, stretched-out smiles. Remember when rock & roll used to be fun? Pass the bottle." - AUSTIN CHRONICLE

5:00 LOVE COLLECTOR (Austin, TX) With Shawn Carpetbagger, Goner hero Rob Yazzie (ex-Fells), and Robin Retox (Shitty Beach Boys). "It sounds like Love Collec-tor has spent their time listening to both some of the grimy Texas trash like the Motards (or hell even going back farther Huns and Bobby Soxx) AND 60's Brit RnB merchants the Downliner Sect."- SMASHIN' TRANSISTORS - PITCHFORK

BONUS! 3:30 - 5:30 (Inside the Buc) ERIC DAVIDSONEric will be reading from his gunk-punk book We Never Learn, accompanied by il-lustrative videos, photos, and anectodal evidence, rumors, and out and out slan-

8pm Doors at the Hi Tone

style punk rock GENIUS"

-BLIP

11:15 DAVE CLOUD (Nashville, TN)"like Mick Jagger trapped inside a dog" -PLAN B"the last genuine lost ge-nius" -THE SUNDAY TIMES

12:00 STRAPPING FIELDHANDS (Philadelphia, PA)"The Strapping Fieldhands started out in the early '90s play-ing 'Appalachian inbred squonk' on junk shop instruments. They sound like denizens of some stunningly pretty British backwater where people fiddle with radio antennae to pick up faint broadcasts of skiffle, traditional English folk and '60s psychedelic rock. They're equally adept at shambolic, Syd Barrett-style balladry and barnburning freak rock reminiscent of Pere Ubu or the Godz; usually they strike a balance be-tween the two and end up with music that is self-conscious-ly strange but unpretentious, and beautiful but more than a

little unsettling." -SPLENDID

1:00 OBLIVIANS (Memphis, TN)"The Oblivians, inspired by that pure, powerful music, took what began as a joke band, and started a Rock & Roll re-ligion exalting drugs, sex, violence, and yes, the Lord. The Oblivians rip with a baseness and honesty that is truly a

thing to behold." -BUDDYHEAD

2:30 WILD THING (San Francisco, CA)"Wild Thing have tapped into a very specific dilemma for the posturing nerds of our time." -FADER

3:30 THE LAMPS (Los Angeles, CA)"Monty recently told me he wanted their new record to sound like 'someone has thrown a grenade in the room.' I think that's a perfect way to describe their sound" -LARRY HARDY

4:30 RED MASS (Montreal, Canada)"weird interesting music that sounds like it was made in either the 1960s or 2160s" -ROCTOBER

5:30 TOTAL CONTROL(Melbourne, Australia)"Eschewing guitars for a pounding pulse, echoed vocals and a hive of small synths, the type of thing Rough Trade would’ve been clamoring to put out amongst their first dozen releases..." -YELLOW GREEN RED Featuring Mikey from Eddy Current Sup-pression Ring!

OUTSIDE STAGE

2:00 MENTHOLS (Kalamazoo , MI )"A beach party being crashed by the Stooges but Iggy doesn't feeling like singing cuz he out dancing by clambake pit with all the girls so a couple of drunk wrestlers pass the mic between

each other." -SMASHIN TRANSISTORS

3:00 TOUCH-ME-NOTS (Oakland, CA)"Primitive, soulful rock 'n' roll rooted in

the sounds of mid 20th Century American

South: blues, r & b, and good old country

& western." -NOW WAVE

4:00 BURNING SANDS (Memphis, TN)"Memphis pop/garage up-and-comers featur-

ing Jeremy Scott (Reigning Sound) and

Quinn Powers (Final Solutions). I'd call it

mod in the rave-ups if everyone didn't

think mod music sucked now. How about

freakbeat? Anyway, they rock!"

-GONER RECORDS 5:00 GOLDEN TRIANGLE (Brooklyn, NY) With Goner vet Alix Brown (Angry Angles) "Like a more psy-

chotic B-52's.... these fuzzy, frenetic songs

are ones you want to hear in a crowded

club, bouncing along as you spill half

your drink on the guy next to you." -

PITCHFORK

6:00 JAMES ARTHUR'S MANHUNT

(Austin, TX / Memphis, TN)"The weird punk western within hints

at elements of lost Morricone scores,

surfin" Smegma, late-era Savage Republic,

and even some subdued Caroliner Rainbow

thanks to a banjo sproutin' up."

-TERMINAL BOREDOM

9:00 JOHN WESLEY COLEMAN (Austin, TX)"Drinking his Schlitz & shots of whiskey he was unpretentious, funny and not afraid to speak gibberish as if he was channeling the long lost native language of the spirit of Rock 'n' Roll." -PARADE OF FLESH

9:45 GIRLS AT DAWN (Brooklyn, NY)"Pop music at its most bare bones and rudimen-tary, sounding not just like a first take, but possibly the first time they've picked up these instruments. But the amateurishness gives it an irresistible charm, especially when it's stifled it with noxious levels of reverb." -MUCH MUSIC

SATURDAY NIGHT8pm Doors at the Hi Tone

Music from DJ UFO DICTATOR (Kalamazoo, MI)

with your hosts DJ Terre T (WFMU's Cherry Blos-

som Clinic) & Tom Scharpling (Best Show On WFMU)

10:30 UV RACE (Melbourne, Australia)

"A combination of rugged Aussie simplicity and

dunderheaded DIY UK punk. So simple it hurts,

really." -TERMINAL BOREDOM

11:15 ARMITAGE SHANKS (Medway, United Kingdom)

"The Shanks really bring the goods to the ta-

ble, firing out the finest in white shirt/black

tie Brit-garage like a faulty sten gun, all the

while serving up bountiful portions of threat-

ening pub-crawler rock hooliganism but infusing

it with enough humor that you knew they were

just good blokes having a good larf."

-TERMINAL BOREDOM

12

12:00 NEW BOMB TURKS

(Columbus, OH)

"The Turks exhibit

an innate mastery of

rock 'n' roll's truly

important gestures,

the flipped bird, the

dropped trou, the

beer-stein hoist, not

to mention a devotion

to the hallowed three-

chords-and-a-cloud-of-

phlegm formulation

that dates back to

the '50s."

-TROUSER PRESS

1:00 GUITAR WOLF

(Tokyo, Japan)

"Decked out in head

to toe black leather,

shades, greased up

hair and delivering

a devastating cherry

bomb guitar attack,

Tokyo’s Guitar Wolf

are cooler than you

are. Like the Ramones

- an obvious influ-

ence along with Link

Wray, Johnny Thunders,

MC5, and The Stooges

- Guitar Wolf suc-

cessfully pull off the

balancing act between

high art concept and

gut-driven punk rock,

throwing in an un-

healthy (or healthy,

depending on how you

look at it) obsession

with sex, alcohol, and

UFOs for good mea-

sure." -NIPPOP

Things To Do In Memphis (besides Gonerfest!)Current listings of events can be found in both the weekly Memphis Flyer and in the Playbook section of the Commercial Appeal daily paper.

Sun Studio 706 Union Ave (901) 521-0664The room where Sam Phillips, Elvis, Scotty & Bill changed the world, where Howlin' Wolf moaned at Midnight, where Jerry Lee Lewis debated about mak-ing the devil's music, where Carl Perkins put down "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Her Love Rubbed Off," where Billy Lee Riley commanded his Little Green Men to play "Flyin' Saucer Rock n Roll," where Ike Turner pounded piano behind Jackie Brenston on "Rocket 88."

Stax Studio Museum 926 E McLemore Ave (901) 942-7685Rebuilt from languishing as a vacant lot for years, now there's a music school on one side and a Smithsonian-quality museum on the other. If you can come out of this tour without being a Rufus Thomas fan I don't want to know you. The hall of records will bring most Gonerfest visitors to their knees. See the Sir Isaac & The Doo Dads 45! Check out Isaac Hayes' gold Cadillac! Awesome!

The Mississippi RiverSee the river! You can drive across either bridge into Arkansas and get a great view, or just go down to the banks and check it out. Follow River-side Drive to Channel 3 drive to go to the Yellow Fever memorial & National Ornamental Metal Museum (very cool in its own right) for a great view of the barges plowing along & the constantly-churning water. The Mississippi is the whole reason Memphis exists. Don't miss it.

Peabody Ducks Peabody Hotel Union & 2nd StSure, go ahead and be a tourist. A tuxedoed Duck Master leads the ducks into a fountain in the middle of the Peabody Hotel lobby at 11am each morning and back up to their penthouse digs at 5pm. Ridiculous? Yeah! Gorgeous hotel lobby & bar. Expensive drinks.

Piggly Wiggly 1620 Madison Ave Memphis-born first modern supermarket. They finally sell t-shirts after years of being bootlegged by Art School kids with silkscreens in Williamsburg. Open 24 hours.

Beale Street.Despite being a Disneyland for the blues, there’s decent food and some good bands. Try Dyer's greaseburger if you dare! A lot of the Beale St. musicians have been around and have played at Stax, Royal, and many other Memphis stu-dios. Ride, Sally, ride!

National Civil Rights MuseumA tribute to the Civil Rights Movement at the motel where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. A dark moment in Memphis history.

Graceland Elvis is king. His house is a perfect 1970s time capsule. Pricey, but, if you're in the right mood, cool. Hall of jumpsuits & other costumes is great! Jungle Room rules. We keep getting older, Graceland stays the same age. (For more hilarity, find Graceland, Too in Holly Springs, MS!)

21

Drinking & NightclubsLamplighter 1702 Madison (901) 726-9916 Our favorite beer joint ever. You can BYOBooze if you pay for set-ups. All the beat up 50s pop and country 45s (and Lou Reed's "Vicious!") sound great on the jukebox. The best burger in Memphis?

Buccaneer 1368 Monroe (901) 278-0909 The site of the first Gonerfest, and our favorite Pirate-themed venue in the city. Great bartenders, great atmosphere. Cozy!

Old Zinnies 1688 Madison (901)726-5004If you want a nice dark place to get a drink midday, Zinnies is the place. Just get out of there by 10 pm- college kids start a-whoopin' and a-hollerin on most nights and can really bring on the migraines.

Murphy's 1589 Madison (901) 726-4193Across the street from what used to be the Well and Antenna Club, Murphy's supplied the hard alcohol to the rockers punking it up across the street. They saved the Antenna sign & now host punk rock shows that would have gone to the Antenna back in the day.

Wild Bill's 1580 Vollentine (901) 726-5473Jook joint w/ quarts & live r&b /blues in Midtown. Wild Bill passed away a few years back, but the jookin goes on.

The Beauty Shop 966 S. Cooper (901)-272-7111Around the corner from Goner on Cooper. Can set you up with any number of elegant & impressive con-coctions on which to sip.

Music Stores Go see our buddy John Lowe at Xanadu - 2200 Central (901 274-9885), Creator of the one and two-string "Lowebow" guitars. He's also got strings and effects and Orange amps and Silvertones. Tons of books, too. Paperbacks, hardbacks, sci-fi, mystery, and weirdness. Live Lowebow perfor-mances by request!

Drummers shouldn't miss Memphis Drum Shop, at 878 South Cooper (901) 276-2328 - around the corner from Goner. Tell 'em GONER sent ya. The best drum shop for hundreds of miles.

22

EatingEating is a big deal in Memphis. Barbecue and soul food (fried chicken, pork chops, etc) have been honed to a fine science. Plus it's cheap! Here are a few of our favorite places & others of note. Be sure to tell 'em you're here for Gonerfest!

Payne's BBQ 1762 Lamar (901) 272-1523Our favorite chop shoulder sandwich. Smoked Sausage, too! No booze. Housed in a converted old garage. Cool! Open for lunch until sundown. Closed Mondays. Closed Sundays & Mondays.

Gus' Fried Chicken 310 S Front (901) 527-4877World famous fried chicken, chunky crust, served with a quart of beer… YES! Fry-ing Chicken can take a while so don't be in a rush. Sides taste like they came straight from the can, unfortunately, so don't expect much there.

Uncle Lou's Fried Chicken 3633 Millbranch Rd (901) 332-2367Fantastic chicken wings like no other. Out by the airport- get some to go as you're leaving town? You will be the envy of the entire airport.

Cozy Corner 745 N Parkway (901) 527-9158Famous for their Cornish game hens, which I've never tried 'cause it would mean missing out on eating more RIBS! Saucy. Great. Frequent Jerry "The King" Lawler sightings! RIBS!

Rendezvous 52 S 2nd St (in alley) (901) 523-2746Famous Downtown Barbecue restaurant. Dry Rub ribs. Good sausage / cheese plate. Does massive business and food can be in-consistent. Plantation-style atmosphere is attractive to some, a turn-off for others.

Kwik Chek 2013 Madison (901) 274-9293Employers of many rockers through the years, cheap delicious sandwiches. Muf-faletta, pork roast, and vegetarian Bloody Valentine are good starting points. Korean dishes as well. Bi Bim Bap!

Barbecue Shop 1782 Madison (901) 272-1277Solid and spicy Midtown barbecue with the bonus of staying open later than most and serving beer.

Soul Fish 862 S Cooper (901) 725-0722Best new restaurant in Cooper-Young area around Goner Store.. Po-boys & platters of chicken & catfish. Low-key, but crowded most dinnertimes. Cuban and Memphis sand-wiches are fantastic.

Lou's Pizza Pie 2158 Young AvenueNeighbors to our east, with tasty sun-dried tomato & pesto pizzas. Pepperoni and more basic toppings, too.

Young Avenue Deli 2119 Young Avenue (901) 278-0034Known for 1/2 pound burgers, wraps, and a huge menu. Tons of different beers on tap and in bottles. Right down the street from the Goner store.

Trolley Stop 704 Madison Avenue (901) 526-1361Delicious pizzas, and sandwiches in a mini-farmer's market-. FRESH!

Déjà vu 936 Florida St (901) 942-1400.Downtown Cajun restaurant is only open during the day. Amazing New Orleans food... better than New Orleans!

24

VEGETARIANSMemphis is definitely a meat-eater's town, but there are vegetarian options around. Middle Eastern, Thai, Vietnamese, and Indian restau-rants are your best bets, but most sandwich joints have some vegetarian options, too. Beware the greens and the beans, too- they're usually cooked with pork!
