shenanigans Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The Lawrence Arms - An Evening of Extraordinary Circumstance DVD. First 150 people to pre-order get a free coozie. http://www.fatwreck.com/news/detail/465 Chicago’s beloved LAWRENCE ARMS celebrated their 10 year anniversary at the Metro on October 24th, 2009. Recorded live with multiple cameras and professional sound, Fat is thrilled to finally release the DVD documenting the show. Out June 5th and dubbed An Evening of Extraordinary Circumstance, the DVD consists of 33 songs, pre- and post-show footage, band commentary, and five music videos! Check out what Brendan Kelly had to say about the release and watch the trailer below. Pre-order yours now! The first 150 preorders will receive a free Lawrence Arms beer coozie! That’s right! After three years, a long silence, an audit by the ever-courteous IRS and a lot of speculation, we here at Lawrence Arms HQ are pleased to announce that the long awaited 10th anniversary DVD shot live at the Metro is finally coming out, courtesy of Fat Wreck Chords and Crankstrap Productions. To answer the question on everyone’s mind: I don’t know what the fuck took so long, but it had something to do with the fact that I guess there was something weird about Neil on the undoctored footage and so we had to get a group of specialists to go in and meticulously remove his gigantic robot dong from each frame. Whatever. Shit’s here now. Buy it for your collection, buy it for your friends who were huge Lawrence Arms fans back when this was shot but have since moved on to listening to Skrillex or Mumford and Sons. Buy it for the chance to see yourself or someone you know upside down and flailing in the b-roll footage, or whatever applies to you. Consider this though: with this much anticipation, hype, prep and subsequent disappointment at the lateness of the arrival of the actual DVD, you can bet your ass you won’t be disappointed like you would have if we’d just sped through and gotten it out right away. Wait…no. Wrong message. Erm…it’s good. Just trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestigmachine Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Finally! I went to that show, and I've basically been waiting 2,5 years to re-live it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'm happy this is coming out, but there was like a 2 year period where they didn't tour where a DVD would have been great. It comes out when they start touring again. Just saw them play most of these songs a month ago. Timing could have been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 What are the 5 music videos? I know there was "porno and snuff films" and "devils taking names" but I don't remember any other videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydethejackal Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I think there's a video for An Evening of Extrordinary Circumstance. I wonder if this will have video from their first show on it too, heard that it would somewhere... BSC maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnstiles Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I cannot wait for this DVD, all of last summer I spent as a patron at a bar where Brendan Kelly worked. Malort was my drink, and my mission was details on this DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
