Who's the Surprise?
Maybe you noticed in the Reader that some band you've never heard of (and who didn't even have a MySpace page), Reefer Duberland, was headlining the Empty Bottle on Thursday. And you thought, "Who is that?!" Well, it appears a lot of people wondered that because rumors were thrown around all Monday and Tuesday on the identity of the special "surprise" guest. Was it someone already town, possibly even playing another show that night? Was it a one-off? What was the story? For a while, it seemed so secretive that perhaps only the cooperation of international intelligence agencies would crack it. But as more and more possibilities were eliminated, the message must've become rather clear because now the $10 show is sold out. What Transmission would really like to know is where that alias came from. Although, we suppose it's at least better than playing a show under the name of Cuddleworthy.
