THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN ENJOY LOBSTER, WANT YOU TO NAME THEIR NEW ALBUM

lobsterTwitter is the new Facebook is the new MySpace is the new black. At least in this nascent state of the Twitter explosion, we can be fairly certain the actual band members are behind their Twitter walls, happily tweeting away as they see fit and ignoring the rest. Take The Dillinger Escape Plan’s (@dillingerescpln) latest update:

Collins Pub in Morris plains, every Monday night Lobster for $11.95. Be there if you want to eat giant sea creatures with me and Billy.

Sounds fun. Gotta be Ben Weinman, right? Every good Jew loves lobster. If I lived in Jersey I’d totally hit that shit up! Mmmm, lobster. Interesting fact: the lobster pictured at left is 50 pounds and was named “Lemmy” by the man who caught it.

But more importantly (and really, very few things are more important than lobster), DEP solicited fan suggestions for naming their next album on a Tweet posted last week:

what should we call our next album?

I’m gunning for Lake Bukkake, and I told them such. If ever there was a fitting tribute to this legendary but mysterious NYC grindcore unit, a DEP album title would be it. Follow Dillinger Escape Plan on Twitter, and vote Lake Bukkake 2009! I’m completely serious. And if you haven’t already, follow us on Twitter too.

    My vote?

    “Guitars, Pussy, and Guitars.”

    Nice name/summary.

    Lobster isn’t kosher, so wouldn’t it be every bad Jew loves lobster?

    Name it: Use Your Illusion III

  • ZapBranigan

    I thought DEP were bigtime PETA freaks?
    I still dig their music though.

  • Dave

    ‘More jazz solos, general dissonance, and only 3 good songs’

  • Nigel

    Man Lake Bukkake is the greatest band ever I swear to god fuck they make me cum, I know you are with me on that Vince

    But how about : “Shotgun To The Sack”

  • uglymicrowave

    the new DEP album should be called “not waving, but drowning”
    And I know billy rhymer and all his buddies and he’s one of the nastiest drummers ever to come outta long island….He’s been around the LI scene and this is by far the best thing to happen to the kid I wish him all the best

    does anyone know where i can hear some lake bukkake? ive heard about this band for years, have scoured the internet for some trace of them, and keep reading about them on this site. if there truly is a sweet grindcore band named lak bukkake, its certainly the best kept secret ive come across

  • Johnny Death

    da tr00f – i heard you can here them outside your local gay bar, in the back alley. Just look for the group of guys hanging out and ask to see Lake Bukkake. They will be glad to help you out.

    My Bad, i just couldn’t help myself

  • dan wolfson

    Call it Dillinger Escape Plan II and make a special edition with a live song for 5 more bucks, sell it on itunes for twice as much, and laugh.
