Post by: Sweetjoy on November 19, 2004, 04:16:00 pm: I'm saving up for Two If By Sea December 18th with Big In Japan and Co-Pilot at the Ottobar!

They were awesome opening for WSC two weeks ago.

Speaking of which, did I really see WSC across the bar last night as the house band on Carson Daly? What gives?

as for Two if By Sea, my reaction was "meh." They sounded a lot like Interpol, but that's what you've got Interpol for (and of course they're pretty derivative too). I'm kinda over bands that sound like other bands.

Post by: Herr Professor Doktor Doom on November 21, 2004, 11:50:00 am: well, last night I decided to go to this show after all, and I was confronted with a band that I'd never heard of but was amazingly good... here's a decent review of them:

didn't catch Two if By Sea, I was still feeling ragged from Saccharine (curses!) and decided to hit the sack early. Nice to see you Kurosawa. :)

Post by: kurosawa-b/w on November 22, 2004, 10:58:00 pm: Good to see you too, Doomie. It was a fun night. A bunch of friends actually turned up and the bands were in fine form. Well, The Good North and Two if by Sea, that is. I wasn't crazy about The Hurt.

Post by: Herr Professor Doktor Doom on November 22, 2004, 11:18:00 pm: Doh... I'm such an idiot... I thought the Hurt were Metropolitan because someone told me that's who was playing... I was wondering why their lineup had changed... hahahahaha

Post by: bobcat1 on November 23, 2004, 03:34:00 pm: To Two If By Sea's defense/credit, when they formed/started, there was no sign of Interpol or any of those bands. But, if you really know Interpol & TIBS, there differences are clear-cut. I think TIBS are much more fun/exciting than Interpol

Post by: Herr Professor Doktor Doom on November 23, 2004, 04:17:00 pm: yeah, I should give them another chance, I was just feeling crotchety that day. You get like that sometimes when you're a Doom-Doctor.
