Anyone else going to see the band who "had me at hello"?
I'd like to, but its a Monday, the house is a mess etc etc
-
I may be there, but being it's a Monday, being that I over estimated by tolerance for alcohol this weekend, and being that I'm not too psyched about their new album, I may wind up skipping it.
-
I'll be there.
Anyone know if the Buddyhead gossip about the Perfect Circle dude playing second guitar for this tour is true?
-
I thought for sure I would be going, but I won't be.
-
They're playing at Fletcher's on September 4, which is a Saturday, for those who want to skip a Monday show.
-
Same here. I had fully planned on going, but I've got too much to do at home.

Jeordie = Perfect Circle dude

The Burning Brides tore it up at the legendary Troubadour nightclub in West Hollywood last night, where they were joined midway through their set by Jeordie rocking out on guitar for two songs. To try to keep everyone up to date on this (and as an addendum to yesterday's report), the bottom line regarding Jeordie's plans to appear with the Brides on tour is that work on his album with Chris Goss is his first priority. As such, it's hard to commit to any specific dates/cities. It is possible he could show up at another one of the West Coast dates, and performing for a week or two in August towards the end of the tour is another possibility. Nothing, however, is set in stone. My advice? If the Brides are coming to your neck of the woods, just go! They're energetic and fun to watch and overall put on a great performance. The venues are mostly of the small/intimate variety and tickets are very affordable (roughly in the $10-15 range). If anything changes to where I do have some definite dates, I will immediately post that information here.

Hmmm, I was gonna go, but it's up in the air. I'd love to though...albums has ups and downs (some of it is awfully old school metal sounding), but I think it would be a good show.
-
i'm leaning towards yes... wasn't flawd going to this one? and is it sold out or anything...

Nope, according to the Black Cat's website. Honestly, I'd be surprised if they sold out the Black Cat. There will probably be a decent crowd, though.

You say that as if it were a bad thing.

Sounds like the Brides have been jilted by their fans.
-
Well it was their fans' loss.
It was a smokin' show. Best of the four times I've seen them. The new material (which made up the bulk of the show) was fantastic live. The old stuff sounded great as always.
The crowd was definitely small, but the band didn't seem to care. They rocked hard.
The metalphobes may not have been as overwhelmingly pleased, as the show definitely had a heavy, guitar solo-laden edge. But for those in touch with their inner Dio, it was great.

wow wow wow. just got back from the show. great way to end the day as i was suffering from a case of the "mondays." i was there primarily to see the explosion, who rocked my ass off and wasn't really expecting much from burning brides. boy was i wrong. they fucking shredded. borderline metal band at times as the headbanging in the audience of 100 or so indicated. i gotta pick up their cd tomorrow.
-
I thought the Explosion phoned it in a bit last night (compared to other times I've seen them.) The Brides were astoudingly good. Third time I've seen them, easily the best. The new stuff is much better appreciated live. Here's hoping their next visit to town isn't on a Monday. If you skipped it last night, you really did miss something special. And yes I'm rubbing it in.

The Rolling Blackouts did their very best for a group of what appeared to be a mostly uninterested crowd of about 30 onlookers, but their material wasn't bad, and they seemed to be having fun. Unimpressed be the explosion, their singer came off like a jerk and their music was played about a step and a half too fast for me to take note of any real talent lying undermeath the ranting of a Heineken-swilling lunkhead. About 10 people in the front seemed to know the words to most of the songs, made amply clear by the mic being passed to members of the audience numerous times. Uncharming. Burning brides sounded great, and maybe it's just because I haven't seen them before, and the album sounds so slick, but I'm surprised that I enjoyed a show as thoroughly as I did as close to Pantera as they sound live. They rocked. :D

did Twiggy show up?

At the Black Cat, Here Come the Burning Brides
Wednesday, August 25, 2004; Page C08

Dimitri Coats looks a bit like a young Ted Nugent, but the shaggy Burning Brides frontman is a more refined breed of rock animal. His guitar sound is muscular, but it doesn't drip with testosterone, and his songs are smartly raucous, not blissfully stupid.
On Monday night at the Black Cat, Coats and his band mates -- drummer Mike Ambs and bassist Melanie Campbell -- proved that their punk-metal hybrid is far from turning stale.
The songs from the Philadelphia band's second disc, this year's "Leave No Ashes," borrow liberally from the hard-rock canon: AC/DC, Black Sabbath and perhaps most important, Nirvana. Although almost every one of Coats's riffs was huge, he showed Kurt Cobain's knack for avoiding the cartoonish.
One high point came early: The midtempo "Come Alive" put the Burning Brides in a proper groove, with Ambs and Campbell laying back and Coats letting the riffs roll. Afterward, most of "Leave No Ashes" was represented, from the amped-up Brit-pop hooks of "Dance With the Devil" to the stoner stomp of "To Kill a Swan" and "King of the Demimonde."
Two songs from 2001's "Fall of the Plastic Empire" also stood out: "Glass Slipper" smoked and "Arctic Snow" made the most of its Cobain influence.
From the crowd there was goodwill all around, especially considering that it was a Monday night. Campbell in particular seemed to grin the entire show, slapping hands occasionally with the dudes ogling her from the front row. The Nuge would've approved.

Now, I wasn't here, but isn't Mike Ambs the original drummer, and isn't Jason Kourkounis (from the Hot Snakes) their new permanent drummer?

Yeah, Jason is now permanent, which is why he's not touring with Hot Snakes this fall.
-
Granted I know all of this just because I'm a fan of both bands, but this information is found easily on Allmusic.com. Is it that hard to do a little research? Or read the album's liner notes?

I hear a lot of things in the Burning Brides -- the aforementioned AC/DC and Sabbath, as well as a little Zeppelin and even a little Animals. Nirvana is not one I've ever found. Do all bands have to be somehow related to Nirvana?

duh... the center of the universe is planet cobain

No.
They could be related to Radiohead.

Definitly heard strains of Nirvana on Monday. Mostly from Bleach.
