JustSchwimmer Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Had to open a PayPal case for this, I can’t believe it’s this hard to just verify my order with them, reach out through email and social media without a response. I even got left on “seen” through IG private message. I don’t need it to be delivered but some confirmation that it’s coming would be nice.

jtoth000 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I agree, I’ll still want more but I can’t miss them if they’re here. Last tour I saw they opened for Katatonia so I’m ready for a Headliner show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Heart Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I'm ready. Doing Philly, and probably Maryland as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Count me as “headline or bust”. Sick of these opening stints. It’s like they only headline Euro shows nowadays. drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Can’t do 7 hr round trip for this. MTB fans are so lucky to get Caspian and Tera Melos as openers. And since Caspian and TM love MTB, good on them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like they only headline Euro shows nowadays. To their credit, the European and Russian Fed fans show up in droves compared to us US postrock/metal heads. So it’s just a fact of life 6-7 hr round trips for Caspian Russian Circles etc. (Even Nothing is skipping Virginia with Swirlies, doing the typical RDU —>DC circuit) Any RVA show is a miracle we don’t pass. edit: it’s a sad fact to think airline fare for 6 dudes + equipment and then all the miles in Europe still nets more coin for them. Unless they’re just going for the scenery and beer. (-; Edited July 17, 2018 by drds89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsNJazz Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 It looks like Caspian is only playing on this tour through October and then Tera Melos opens on the rest of the tour, so maybe this Caspian MWY tour is also still happening? I can only hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtoth000 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Ahhh bummer! Caspian is only doing east coast shows. I’d love to go to the Carrboro show, Cats Cradle is a good time for a show. Saw Minus the bear in 2012 and have skipped most of their shows. I’ll try to catch them in SLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys all really need to get over to Dunk once and just see for yourselves. People are quiet. They pack houses. And they eat the music up. It's fucking incredible, and it's such a shame that bands that are from the USA struggle to get 10 people to a show, but will pull 100 in Europe.

And after several mails, messages on Facebook and Instagram, they tell me three months later that everything was ok and I will have the vinyl. A week later, I got a mail to tell me that the payment wasn’t completed and I wanted the vinyl, I’ll must pay a second time. I send them the proof of payment and since, complete silence. I wonder if they are kidding me or if they are simply incompetent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dugan Nash Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I finally gave up trying to contact tms and made a PayPal claim. It's a bummer, I was really looking forward to this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alwaysopenmouth Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I'm conflicted as well because when this label does things right they knock it out of the park, but when they mess up it leaves much to be desired. Thankfully I've never had any orders impacted but I can understand the frustration that others are feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endlessslog Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Based on fb posts from Joel's family, it is apparent there are some personal issues taking precedence. I won't dig for more, nor would I share it if I knew the details. I know nothing about the fate of the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Has anybody placed an order lately that DID get their record? I want this, but I do not care to deal with the nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Honestly, the PayPal claim window being 180 days I'd say just wait and see what happens. It's a great release and worth having. The lack of communication sucks but there's not really any risk in the event the records never get shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
