The NYC show on 10/1/99 has been moved from Tramps (which is being shut down) to the Westbeth Theatre. This might be an 18+ show, but I know DHC is trying to keep it like Tramps, so hopefully it’ll be all ages.

Hey,
My name is Doug Sakmann. I do a NY zine called “i am an evil carrot”.
Yesterday, after talking to Gavin through AOL, I was able to interview them
after they did the sound check. During the sound check, they played 6 songs,
all of which were new and all equally kicked much ass. During the interview I
was able to find out that next week after they get back to California they are going in the studio to begin recording a new album. During the actual show, they only played like 3-4 new songs, but they still rocked the house. Tramps’ world renouned “trampoline floor” as I like to call it was in full effect. I call it this because when you are in the basement right under the dance floor the celing goes up and down like a trampoline, and when you stand still on the
dance floor when everyone else is jumping you get slightly bounced around. I
always fear that the floor will collapse one of these days. I have to say the
band was very friendly and I had a great time. Some guys from H20, Pilfers,
and Bouncing Souls showed up backstage too. Also for anyone in the NY area,
right after I did the interview, Jason Dean from 92.7 LIR’s Ska show “One Step
Beyond” Did an interview with the girls as well and said it should be on the
air in the next few weeks. The ska show is on sunday nights at 8:30-9:00. I
guess that is all except I LOVE DHC!
if you want a copy of the “i am an evil carrot” zine when it comes out with
DHC , or any other issue, send $2 or $1 and 2 stamps tooo….

hey everyone,
i saw dhc last night and it was the best concert i’ve ever been to.
HERS MY STORY:
I was driving down the street on the way to the club and i saw two girls
walking down the street and i said to myself, “Wow they look alot like elyse
and karina, but it cant be , why would they be walking down the street?” It
turns out that it was them. When i got to the club i couldn’t get in yet but
where did i end up parking? right behind dhc’s bus. I got out to go buy
tickets and right as i was passing the bus door, elyse came out of the club on
the other side and walked right by me and said hi. I was so stunned that all i
said was hey and she got on the bus. How stupid am i. I had the perfect chance
to talk to her but of course i didn’t. When i finally went into the club some
guy bumped into me and said sorry. When he turned around it was mikey so i i
got a picture taken with him. i never realized how cute he is. It was so
weird. Elyse and Karina were just walking around the club casually and it
seemed like nobody cared. i would’ve thought that they would surrounded by
people but they were just standing by the pool table watching the gadjits.
Anyways, their show was awesome and i got to go on stage and sing He wants me
back. It was so cool. I actually got to sing with Karina. Well thats my story.
Later,
mary.

The Bay Area Music magazine (BAM) quoted Elyse in their Valentine’s Day special:
“Dance Hall Crashers singer Elyse Rogers considers herself a connoisseur of the anti-love song. Most love songs are ’sappy and lame,’ she says, but NOFX’s tragic ‘Falling in Love’ surprised her. ‘Nothing could have prepared me for my reaction to that song, which was me sitting completely stiff, staring at my speakers, not breathing, with tears streaming down my face, listening to [of all people] Fat Mike screaming about him and his wife Erin dying in a plane crash. It’s horrible and beautiful and conjures up great imagery.’”

Every DHC song on a CD is included with lyrics - except one. That song was written by Operation Ivy boy Tim Armstrong and the lyrics were never included on the Lockjaw jacket. Check it out here.
