Comment
opening for FUTURE of THE LEFT (ex-McLusky) + THE BEATINGS on 11.1 @ TTs
just found out about this AMAZING show that we're fortunate to be involved with.
FUTURE of THE LEFT is basically my favorite band right now. Former members of McLusky + Jarcrew, they are all of the following things: brutally loud, fast, catchy, funny, charming, and very very welsh. this'll be their third time in boston (previous shows were with Ted Leo, Against Me!, and The Datsuns). And now, they are at the top of the bill, deservedly so, with us opening up. this excites me to no end!
THE BEATINGS are one of boston's best bands, period. Just released a new album. All i can say is listen to their stuff and prepare to have yourself pleased with the utmost thoroughness by these fine musicians.
THE NEW DUMB are your faithful narrators, your never-failing heroes, your tender lovers, your truest of friends. this will be our best show of all time, you should definitely go to it. We're on 1st at 9pm SHARP.

yes, we’ve been busy - thanks for asking
hey there, it's been a busy few weeks in the land of the new dumb. here's what's cooking:
1. we've just completed our new record. it's called IF YOU'RE HEARING THIS, WE DIDN'T MAKE IT. I won't bore you with the tracklisting just now, but yes your favourites are on there, including APPLEJACK ANTHEM and a wondrous new song about how we got attacked by man-eating eagles.
If you'd like to hear some of the new songs, check out the myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/thenewdumb.
we have yet to plan a release date in boston for the record, but i promise you'll hear about it shortly.
2. we're nearly done with booking our little tour. right now, it'll be five shows, but there's a chance we could have a few more. we'll let you know! the new record will be released first to you folks in the touring cities. our stops as they stand are:
F 8.7 - danbury, CT
SU 8.9 - pittsburgh, PA
T 8.11 - columbus, OH
W 8.12 - washington, DC
TH 8.13 - baltimore, MD
3. we'll have some new merch, including cute new t-shirts that you can wear on your torso. again these are not ready for purchase, but you may begin salivating.
4. we're still doing the DIY packaging thing, so hope that you enjoy that as well. we'll post some photos from the process shortly. now that i mention it, all this teasing and saying things are coming shortly is kind of bullshit, huh?
5. our talented bassist is composing a short documentary about the process of making our new album. you will most likely enjoy it.
6. we still like you.

The New Dumb
Let's Get Lucky
Year Released: 2008
Format: CD
Reviewed by Alex Deller
Now here’s some fun stuff right here. Know fuck-all about these guys, but they’ve got that enjoyably ramshackle air to their music that makes me think of Radon circa their brilliant first LP (rather than their wretched 2007 comeback...) albeit with an indie rock agenda that means they're sometimes swiping Superchunk's syrupy melodies and others delving into staccato Pixies spikiness. While the lyrics leave more than a little to be desired at times (clue: one song is called ‘Buxom Vixen’) there are plenty enough funky, joint-popping bass hooks, wiry guitar lines and all-round good times to be had to ensure that this one should be a keeper for those that like their indie rock to contain a little levity.
