"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

I feel like I'm always talking about shows that I should go see but that I never actually go to them. So I was happy to get out and see New Model Army last night. I went with Guilarme and his new girlfriend, Josephine. He'd been saying she was really great, and she turned out to be.
I was kind of disappointed that the whole band wasn't there. Only the frontman, Justin Sullivan, was there with a lead guitarist/keyboardist who looked like the cartoon store guy from the Simpsons and played competently. But it turned out to be okay. They did the second-best cover of Masters of War that I've ever heard. They do their best stuff while rocking out.
The crowd was small but pretty intense, screaming out songs and singing along. It was the first night of New Model Army's first US tour in ten years, so I guess that's to be expected.
Anyway, they're worth seeing if they're only a few blocks away but I wouldn't travel across state lines to see them.
