Posted 17 years ago #O they're going to get something fresh - that argument that "they already played here" wont work because they don't even have a video of PUTS performance on their website.
Its brand new and heavy as a chevy and in fact
The P is coming and I know they're not wack
At this point theres no turning back
Dialing! -

that instore was two and a half years ago- dude needs to get it straight.
they don't won't me puttin this up on myspuce
Yo I hit them up again today.
I asked if I could have a list of this months instores. They asked me who I was looking for and I told them People Under the Stairs. She said there was nothing listed but I could check the website to stay posted. I asked her about other locations and she said theres 1 in Berkley and 1 in San Fran. I asked if she knew if they might be playing there and she started geting short with me and referred me to the website again. So I made up some bullshizzle and told her Im from the L.A. area ( witch isnt bs) and that Im with a group of about 40 people at a local college that sets up free shows for students and was wondering who I need to talk to, to set up an in store with Ameoba because I think the turnout would be good and it might make you guys some money. She told me it doesnt work like that and that the only time groups have instores is when they have an album coming out. I then had to bitchslap her upside the head with the Sept 30th release of FUN DMC. and again she referred me to the website
I got the san fran # from her and called it. Some girl answered and I asked her the same thing. She put me on hold and then some dude picked up and asked "hi are you calling about the P.U.T.S. instore?" I told him "you bet your damn ass I am!" na..I just said yes..lol and he told me that there was an instore recently booked at the (*fingers crossed*, please be L.A) "Berkley location." Dang...I gave him the same BS story about the college thing and he told me to try and get ahold of the group on "thier MySpace or something." Hehe. So it looks like the instore was booked for OCT 1ST at the Berkley Amoeba. If we keep buggin', I think we can convince them to do the L.A show. Lets keep it goin yall! -
Posted 17 years ago #holy sh!t is that for real thes? i already got tickets to your independent show later that night of oct 1st, and would be more than down to trek across the bridge to see an instore, in fact i was just buyin some records in berkeley yesterday.

Posted 17 years ago #Yeah, I just called, and the conversation went something like this.
Me: Hi I was wondering when the date for the PUTS in store show is for the release of Fun DMC
Ameba: OMG, another one? Alot of people have been calling asking about that.
Me: Yeah, everyones been talking abou it
Ameba: Really?Well, I have the monthly in-store roster right here, and it dosn't say anything about PUTS this month, but maybe in october. So sorry, im not really sure
Me: Its all good, thanks for the help
Ameba:Your welcome, try checking back in a couple of weeks
I dont know man. It sounded like everyone working there knows people want PUTS to do a show. Im hopefull, but she said it is pretty much impossuble that it will be this month.
wtf? -
Posted 17 years ago #Thanks again to everyone who has been diligent and genuine about this.
I def. won't be this month now but we are hoping this public pressure will turn a NO into a maybe into a ok fine.
If not we gonna get a flatbed truck and park this sh!t across the street at Jack in the box and do an "outstore" -
Posted 17 years ago #Yo thes if you do that you better bring out the cameras
and make it a video for one of the tracks!!
i like the truck bed idea though.. takin' a page out of tribe's boook. -
Posted 17 years ago #Ha! Im not scared of that! funny...
Yo, all this amoeba talk is bringin flashbacks of the Question LP instore. Good times -
Posted 17 years ago #c'mon yall! Givin up already? We gotta make this happen...keep it goin!
-
Posted 17 years ago #Thes if you do an outstore I will fly out to see the show. You will be in Salt Lake soon and I will catch you out here.
-
Posted 17 years ago #I just called and they told me to check the website for next month.
I will forward this information to my other 10+ friends who would love to help out the P.
I suggest you do that Jack In The Box show. Tell everyone that purchasing a #2 with Curly Fries will gurantee you a section in the first 5 rows. It's a win-win situation.
As long as we have a show in LA I'm a happy person (Even though I'm already driving out to the San Clemente Show).
Peace
