aren't you always?

Washington Social Club is opening, try and get there in time to see them.
-
oh they are? I was thinking of going to this to see a friend, but I've heard good things about WSC so that's another reason to go...
I may or may not go depending on how tired I am & how much friend wants me to come.
would my innocent 16 year old sister enjoy them? she wants to go to the 930 and I don't know what show to take her to.
-
ok, looks like I'm definitely going, with the little sis. I hope I don't regret it.

This should be a good show for her. It looks to be a lot of fun.

You will both have a blast. It is impossible to go to a Washington Social Club show and not have a blast. Just impossible. Get on your dancing shoes...

Two Questions;
How old is your sister?
Is Smackie still in town?
-
she's 16, and Smackie's gone so I'm letting her out.
she randomly told me a couple weeks ago that she wanted to go to the 930 club, and this was the best I could come up with...and this way I don't have to buy her a ticket :p
it's a monumental occasion! her first 9:30 show! WHOO!
maybe I'll pin a sign on her back or something.

You do realize you'll be the coolest big sis ever.
I took my daughter with a couple of her school pals to the 930 when she was 16. Overnight I became the coolest dad on the planet - well at MAGRUDER high school anyway, but I'll take that. When she was younger I sat through a Backstreet Boys concert (twice), Hanson and some skateboarding thing at MCI. I got 10 minutes of Social D at the skateboarding wham-jam-I'm yer man or whatever the hell they called it, and all I could think about was what the hell was Social D thinking getting involved with this crap?

I thought it was an excellent show. Unfortuantly I had class and could not check out WSC, but the Klaxons more than made up for a missed opener. I didnt write down the set list, but it seems like they played all of the tunes on their cd, and a couple more (I didnt recognize on song during the set, and the encore song.) I was suprised at how much of their music was played on just guitar, bass, drums, and keyboard. From their cds, I imagined a ton of gear, but they kept it simple. The crowd was really getting into it, especially around the stage, where most of the people danced/jumped around the whole time. They also felt the need to name drop dc at least a dozen times. Also, the onstage banter was unintelligible, and I couldnt tell if it was due to accents or not talking directly into the mic.
All in all, they rocked the shit out of the 930 club, and I hoep to catch them there again before they move onto bigger venues.
-
I was impressed, actually! WSC was disappointing since I'd heard so many good things and they turned out to be sort of frightening, but the Klaxons put on a good show, even though it wasn't really my sort of thing. Quality entertainment. My sister really enjoyed it, she's a fan now. She got a set list so maybe I can post that for you when I get home, if you'd like.
I didn't understand anything they were saying either! But I think they were excited to be in DC because apparently the crowd was especially good here, and because their tour manager (my ex) is from here. He'd been totally hyping it, and one of the only parts of the banter I understood was when they said something about their tour manager Simon being from DC. They went "sightseeing" after the show, I wonder how that went...I hope they weren't disappointed, after how excited they were, HA!

Frightening? How so? I'm just curious because I can think of a lot words both positive and negative that might be used to describe WSC and "frightening" has nver crossed my mind, haha.

I was about to say the same thing. WSC was fine last night. It's a very different vibe to see them as an opener in front of a fairly apathetic crowd. Their headlining shows are better, but I thought they were still a lot of fun. Frightening????

yes. the frontman looked like he was going to attack someone.
-
i felt klaxons attacked everyone with their opening music -- it was an energetic introduction!
does the lead singer of the wsc not play any instruments but for the avocad
-
it was! really good vibe. like I said, it's not even my sort of thing, I wouldn't listen to an album or anything...but I really enjoyed the show!

-
BRILLIANT SHOW! I had a BLAST at the Klaxons gig last night! The energy around the stage was almost Muse-like.
Hope they come back to DC in the near future. . .
