It’s sad to lose one of the only bands whose shows I could bring any friend to and guarantee them a good time but I so deeply understand not wanting to be stuck without a career, on the road at 40.

Its all about reasonable expectations. As a media entity with its head permanently up its own ass, p4k is always going to have the scoop on diarrhea related news stories.

It’s humbling to revisit this and see that I was wrong about basically all of my recollections right down to the song. But man, isnt it awesome? Everyone is just having so much god damn fun. Diarrhea Forever.

One of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Guided by Voices was playing and he told me about how big a fan he was. He then went on to tell me about a bunch Nashville bands I should check out. Seen them 5x and super sad to see them go. Wish all these guys the best.

If they’re East Nashville, the real testament to that scene seems to be JEFF the brotherhood? Or are they Memphis? Either way, can’t wait to read this whole thing.

I went by myself and ended up making friends with 4 nearby campers. Conveniently, I had five hits of some strong acid, so we all dropped together. We ended up so zonked out that we somehow managed to end up laying underneath the trees located only about 10 yards away from one of the port-a-potty areas for hours. At some point, Diarrhea Planet ended up playing the Bigfoot stage nearby and my friend just starts laughing uncontrollably a few songs into their set. With the wailing sound of guitars and stenches of shit engulfing us, I asked him what was so funny. “Dude, we got front row seats to Diarrhea Planet and we didn’t even have to move.”

(Or at least for me they were.) Riffs would fly around the room and then sometimes one riff would sync with some joyful voice in the crowd who would then rally the entire room, including the band, to a fully cheesed out 30 second cover of some song you totally forgot about but still know all the words to. AND then DP would carry that energy straight into an original and you’d go nuts all over again. Pure joy.

One of the best live bands of all time, and they get bonus points for introducing me to Hop Along, who opened for them at a Halloween show in Brooklyn, not long before the release of Painted Shut.

It really helps explain what seemed like a baffling decision at the time it was announced and makes clear that certain decisions that seem to a fan as no-brainers of rock justice like keeping the name or staying on the Infinity Cat label are much more difficult when you have to contend with the fact that these same choices may be heavily impacting your life’s course.

Sad to hear that Turn to Gold became something of a turning point in the band’s momentum, but I kind of suspected as much – it didn’t feel like it propelled them forward in the way their other records had. I for one would love to hear whatever scraps of the fourth album exist, but I can respect their decision to leave us a complete body of work.

It’s sad to think that it may be a long time, if ever, until I get to feel the energy of songs like Raft Nasty and Separations live again, but in the wake of these shows, it’s been nice to see just how many people get it. This band mattered a lot to significant group of people, and following them will be up there among the fondest memories of my youth.

They knew how to shred better than anyone else I’ve ever seen, and they went out with a bang.

Also I strongly support throwing up whatever unreleased recordings are on bandcamp in any state. I just want more Diarrhea!

1. American Vandal just made a whole season of television about poop.
2. Poop has been scientifically proven* to be the best emoji.
3. Poop is funny.

Pretty sure there’s a market here, and these awesome dudes were ahead of their time.

A great band who recognize that maybe this kind of music serves a purpose in your twenties it could never carry into old age. Like ending a TV show before it gets so indefinite one loses the arc and the plot gets convoluted (Walking Dead, Lost). Sometimes a reasonable amount of success keeps you focused on making a project exactly the kind of art you want.

Rock and Roll will never die as long as kids have these feelings and this energy. Fantastic work, gentlemen.

They’re all so stoked that Melissa Etheridge is around, and even moreso that she agrees to play with them. She comes onstage to strap on her guitar and has no idea what to do in light of the fact that there are already 4 guitarists on stage. They play anyway (come to my window iirc) and everyone has a great time. It’s just a very diarrhea planet moment, and I really like it for that.
