actually it's four bands... the wire orchestra is playing first. alex of the wire orchestra is "promoting" the show. andy says he was that one thats been in contact with and arranged for bjm to play in balwmer. his website is
http://www.newagehillbilly.com/ (http://www.newagehillbilly.com/)
but andy confirmed that the high strung are playing
-
do you honestly think more that say 75 people will show up for bjm? hell only 30 or 40 people came out to see the cynics and less than for the woggles...
-
Thanks Kosmo...... The missus got that day off, so I guess we will hed up a bit earlier than normal.

the american visionary art museum is a real trip... it showcases art done by untrained artists, similiar to outsider art. it's interesting reading the blurbs on the artwork because almost all of the artists on display have some type of mental challendge in their life...

Thanks for the link.Their website says the Trachenburg show starts at 7:30.Any idea what time the High Strung may go on?I may try to hit both shows while I'm down that way.Is Key highway close to Mojo's at all?
-
i would say that the avam is probably 15 minutes away from the mojo... mapquest would give you a more accurate time. would depend on if there is a backup at the tunnel if you take 95 verses driving through the city.
i seriously doubt the high strung would be on before 10pm more like 11pm... like most small rock and roll clubs things start late on a friday night. my speculation is first band on at 9:30
your friend in long live death would probably know the schedule better

No,I don't know anybody in LLD.In fact,I've never even heard of them.A friend told me that LLD was playing that night,which surprised me.

long live death (http://www.longlivedeath.net/) an "avant folk" group from balwmer... they must be good the guitar player plays with his eyes closed :p

Anybody familiar with Best Inn on Frankford Ave?Expedia tells me its only a mile from Mojos,but my question is,is it a dive?I'd prefer some decent accomadations but man,that's so close.I've stayed at Best Western and it was nice and also fairly close.Any suggestions?
-
Oh, shit. You guys need me now.
1. Sparx, stay away from any of those dives on Frankfurt Ave. or Pulaski (Rt.40) Hwy. Sure it's convenient but it's not the safest place to stay. I'm telling you, go for one of the ones in Towson. You will be MUCH better off.
2. Markie, Key Hwy and the museum are much farther away than 15 minutes, with 45 mins being more like it, 35 at best. Especially when you are considering traffic lights, getting a little lost, and traffic. Especially downtown traffic and it being a Friday afternoon. Being a Friday, I95 might not be your best way up to the Mojo (unless you are going direct from DC). At least, I wouldn't bother with it on any day, but I know the streets much better. I would probably go through downtown and take Gay St. up which turns into Belair Rd. Or better yet, go (north) up either (Paca St./Charles St./Calvert St.) to North Ave, make a right (east), go almost to the end and then a left on Gay St/Belair Rd.. Keep going up Belair Road until you get on the other sie of Moravia Rd and the Mojo in just a couple doors north on the right hand side.
3. There are no advance ticket sales for this show. When I asked Andy the price, he didn't know :roll: but said that it probably would be no more than $10. He seemed to not expect a sell out so you should be fine.
4. For dinner, I think they still sell food but if not, there are a few places within walking distance. However, don't expect any fine dining.
5. Looks can be deceiving. The neighborhood use to be a very decent Blue Collar neighborhood but has changed drastically over the years. Make sure that you take your street smarts with you. With that said, you should be fine. I tend to think that any scumballs would be leery of our types and fear they would attract too much attention if they tried to mess with us. At least, when they know we are congregatting as a group at the club.

Thanks Jag,I'll take your word for it.I was just hoping for something within walking distsance for several obvious reasons.Anybody going to see Kimya Dawson and Trachenburg family earlier that day?Should be an interesting event.

Anybody know if Mojos allows recording?I know the BJM is cool with it, but don't want to offend the owners of the club.Any info appreciated.

There are no hotels within easy walking distance. The Holiday Inn is (which I had been told had closed-but not positive) but will be a nice hefty walk. That hotel gets lots of drug traffic, which is partly why it's in trouble. The neighborhood of the hotel is much, much worse than the Belair Rd area. Even the Inner Shitty people sort of fear it.
The neigborhood is mostly private homes, some apartment complexes, lots of car dealerships, small businesses up and down Belair Rd, several crap schools that I know very well :mad: , and a graveyard. It's become a shabby version of what was once a decent neighborhood but the nature of it has changed drastically for the worse. My uncle was visiting my grandparents' grave at the graveyard and when he got back to his car, there was a bullet hole in his car. I know several older people (in their 70s) who lived most of their lives there who have been robbed right in front of their own homes on residential streets. Some were car jacked. Unfortunately, a lot of crime has found it's way there, so be street smart. In between the crimes, it's actually a rather half-way decent sort of quiet residential area. But the crime is more and more common all the time. Oh, and I taught in one of the schools in the area of the Holiday Inn and I've gotten to know the true nature of what is going on there at this time as oppossed to when I grew up there. It's not good at all! I actually lived on the other side of Herring Run in a neighborhood with no name but that's gotten to be crap too. All of those areas were my old stomping grounds.

Wow,what a great idea.Hopewell is an excellent choice as well.Never heard MLL though.
-
In Anton Newcomb's words (the real one), "There were a lot of Frat boys here tonight."
The fake one had the said the same thing only minutes before. :roll:
It was only a few who made it seem that way. You know how they make their presence known. :roll:
Good show. Fuck Maryland's liquor laws that required them to end before the band was ready. I'm sure that the Black Cat show will be even better.
-
:(
I have a meeting in New York and have to go up Sun night....I have to miss the BJM & High Strung show. I was really looking forward to it.
-
Oh, too bad. You should of joined us last night.
-
Yet another fab night at the Mojo, it a shame it's not smack dab in the middle of dc because it would be great alternative to the Velvet Lounge and backstage at the Black Cat.
The first two bands were regrettable and very forgettable,but since they brought in most of the paying punters thats all I'll say on them.
The High Strung will become one of those I remember when I saw them play... This band is on the verge of much bigger things. (given the right break) The band totally cuts loose from the recorded versions of the songs, especially the drummer and bass player. Even Mojo Andy was impressed.
BJM were good to a point... Obviously a talented band and worth seeing again. I need to bone up on their material before hand. As their set worn on, and I began to fade, everything BJM did began to blur together.
See ya'll on Tuesday for Love :D
-
Well BJM could not do anything last night seeing how Anton could barely stand. What a horrible display. If this was anybody's first exposure to BJM I could understand if they never wanted to hear them again. So different from the previous 2 times (Baltimore and the Velvet Lounge).
The High Strung were good again, but not as good as they were on Friday night, the vocals were somewhat muddy and the set was shorter for some reason. Apparently they will be back in Baltimore (at the Mojo) in November.

Makes me feel better about not going last night.

He even had his sound cut as he tried to tell the story of why he was bannded from the Black Cat previously and was being a complete asshole to his band who were doing just fine. Should be glad you missed it.

great news... lets hope they get better local bands to play with them this time. or maybe let that dj spin longer :D
-
yeah,
last night was the worst performance by a headliner I think I have ever seen. Possibly worse than blur in 1991 (Damon Puked, they did one song twice).
Highlight of the BJM show was the bassist getting hassle from Anton and replying "Apparently vodka is the new water".
At least the high strung were good.
Thanks for playing cool tunes Friday night Kosmo.... I would be interested in hearing you do a proper night without the Lulu schmoozing and running off with the band distractions....
-
As usual, I have a very different opinion then the rest of the board. I loved the show last night! It was all about playing music and having a chill time. Don't expect a etiquette or guitar lesson on proper playing.
Also, how often do you see two 12-string guitars on stage at the same time?

well, last friday when they played in Baltimore, and were good, even Anton thought they were awful last night
-
Antoine could barely stand. How many times did he trip over? You couldnt hear his vocals because he had his out of tune guitar up too high.
The rest of the band were good, they did a fine job under adverse circumstances.

It was a Beautiful train wreck

That's the BJM for ya.Some times you get music that makes you wish it would never end,other times you get the above.Sounds like you all who went to the B/more and DC shows got both.Blue eyed,I didn't even have to be there to know EXACTLY of which you speak.It's a crap shoot,but when you win,it's glorious.
-
FYI: Not that this will do any of us any good, but BJM will be supporting Black Rebel Motorcycle Club on their upcoming European tour.
After reading the above, I'm so glad that I didn't bother making the long haul all the way to DC for the Black Cat show. Am even more glad that they played Baltimore! Hope they come back......to Baltimore.
And Kosmo, NO, I'm glad that The Mojo in not smack dab in the middle of DC. Christ, we need something decent in this God forsaken lame ass town. Besides, Sonic, PR-GMR-or whatever, and I are tired of always having to haul our asses almost across the state line to have to find any semblance of decent entertainment.
-
i think both bands really enjoyed playing at the mojo and hanging out in the upstairs rec room... one of the bjm guitarists was trying to get some mojo chili to go as i was leaving.

Speaking of BJM guitarists,how did Rick fit in compared to Jeff,or was there even a noticable difference?.At least with Jeff,he could throw barbs back at Anton when he got a little uppity.From what i hear,Rick is suppossed to be really good,but shy.You'd have to have pretty thick skinned to play with Anton for any extended time period,i would think.
-
I dont know the guitarists.....
But there is no keyboardist right now.... So there are five of them. The guy who stood furthest away from Anton looks a bit like Chris Martin, seemed most likely to be vulnerable to an Anton attack. Although he jumped right to Antons defence when I said Antons guiatar was too loud.
But Anton was mostly harying the bassist and Frankie. Frankie called Anton an asshole a couple of times. One time after Anton elbowed him pretty hard in the back.
The bassist seemed to be funny and big enought to fend Anton off.

Some things never change.That man has SO much talent,but if he isn't careful he's gonna run out of people willing to put up with his abuse.Perfectionist is one thing but...
