Tonight at Springwater: RTX w/Imaad Wasif
RTX W/IMAAD WASIF After dissolving Royal Trux, frontwoman Jennifer Herrema eventually formed RTX—a heavy, Camaro-rock version of the Trux. Grittier than her former band, RTX possess all the swagger and snarl of rock ’n’ roll excess but deliver straightforward bar-room jams. Opening is Los Angeles-based Imaad Wasif, formerly the touring second guitarist for Yeah Yeah Yeahs. His plaintive psychedelic-tinged folk serves as a nice counterpoint to RTX’s adrenaline-drenched joyride. 9 p.m. at Springwater —MATT SULLIVAN

This show is gonna rule.
Posted 06/30/2008 at 04:48:01 PMKinda lame that Wassif seems to be only known for touring with a band he was never in. Alaska! was fucking awesome. The New Folk Implosion not so much, but his solo stuff is good regardless.
Posted 06/30/2008 at 06:50:27 PMI never actually heard Alaska! Heard of them. I'm not trying to not be lame.
Posted 06/30/2008 at 07:00:54 PMhaha. wasn't trying to single you out, sir. all the posters at springwater say "ex yeah yeah yeah's", as does all the other press i've seen for this tour.
but yeah. maybe all that heat i've taken today was just reflecting off me.
see you at the show.

Posted 07/01/2008 at 12:40:50 AMWho gives a shit! You know they all have to suck if they have to mention their former bands all the time!
Posted 07/01/2008 at 08:31:06 AMI cannot be the only drunken soul who witnessed an arm sling wearing Chris Crofton tussling with Jennifer Herrema of RTX on the mightily unclean floor of the Shitwater last night. Most of the evening had next to nothing to do with music, but was somehow worth my 8 bucks. Actually, it all kinda sucked.
Posted 07/01/2008 at 12:39:55 PMCrofton getting jumped by that crazy woman and the melee that ensued was definitely worth the price of admission.
Posted 07/01/2008 at 01:10:26 PMyeah f that nonsense! that was totally psychotic and ridiculous for that girl to drag him by his broken shoulder off the stage. i mean a rock and roll baiting where you jump onstage and show your ass is one thing but that was a straight psycho move. and then they sucked onstage. chris crofton shoulder surgery benefit show where? ;)
Posted 07/01/2008 at 01:28:58 PMI've heard 3 pretty different accounts of this. I hope Chris is ok.
Posted 07/01/2008 at 02:05:13 PMfuck chris... he played to long... he should have gotten off stage for the real show... fuck his weirdo guitar players to
Posted 07/01/2008 at 03:15:14 PMChris played too long? They had only finished the 4th song! And what kind of crackhead jumps an injured musician anyway? She needs to take her spoiled, drunken ass back to Cali! Alcohol Stuntband may have weirdo guitar players, but they can rock ten times better than that has-been bitch!
Posted 07/01/2008 at 04:05:58 PMWas this her response to his radio show earlier in the day where he called her a drunken human waste product? Because if so...uhhh, way to prove him wrong, champ.
Posted 07/01/2008 at 08:45:25 PM"Chris played too long?"
Posted 07/02/2008 at 09:37:49 AMAnytime this no talent dick plays he plays too long.If he only played one song it would be too long.I'm so glad this happened,someone finally did what so many people want to do and don't while sitting through his opening sets.Chris should take his stupid dick jokes and get a job at the local Autozone.My only regret is that I didn't have my camcorder with me!
fuck em if they can't take a joke
