alright, so manny's plugged them a couple of times, but i just feel that 
he hasn't stressed it enough:

HEY! LOOK! IT'S THE BRIDES!

and they are, indeed, coming to garfield artworks on penn avenue on 
sunday, august 1, which is a school night, but essentially this is the one 
show left in the summer that pittsburgh goths shouldn't miss. screw the 
rapture, man; the world'll be full of snotty "indie" kids anyway. plus 
it'll be cheaper.

the brides, for the sadly uninformed, are the funny and awesome 
alternative to all those other so-called "goth" bands that are 
indistinguishable from techno. even if you're not into the deathrock thing 
(and apparently few in pgh are), you will still like the brides. because, 
unlike most other "goth" "bands" (aka white men on computers, no offense 
to TFS), they are actually spooky! ha! also, they have instruments, which 
they can play deathrocky goth-punkish songs on extremely well.

and um... basically they will rock the party out (this is a new phrase i 
invented myself), and you will have so much fun, and i will be SOOO 
JEALOUS because i can't make this show unless some decides to meet me in 
new york to shuttle me to pgh.

plus they played convergence this year so you know they have this thing 
called 'goth cred'.

plus that julia ghoulia is awfully attractive. if i may say so myself.

they have songs about eating babies and other fun stuff at:
