Isnt their new cd absolutely great?
Who is going?
Anybody know the set times?
-
*ahem* roll call.
and although the new cd is good and i enjoy the rosebuds, i'm sitting this one out. i've seen both bands in the last 6 months. so i think i'll be ok.
-
Saw them last night in Charlottesville. Quite awesome!!! Last song they played was LOUD!!! Don't know if Rosebuds are opening up for them up there but they are good too.
-
Oops! Must have Bonde Do Role on my mind....
-
I'll be there. Anyone else crazy like me and planning on being down the front for this? I'll be wearing a flat cap and will be parked in front of the stage if any forumites would like to say hi.
-
bring earplugs for the sea power...
tis loud.
but awesome.
-
I'll be interviewing them before the show. Can't wait!
-
I think the drummer from British Sea Power is dating the girl in the Rosebuds, or so says my friend who talked to her last night at the show. Could be mistaken.
-
i have a ticket, but work is making my attendance iffy (same case as midnight juggernauts earlier this week). f*ck.
-
i'll be there. 1st time seeing the Rosebuds.
-
I should totally go but just got back from dc and in no way am I making the germantown>dc>germantown trip twice in a day.
-
i really wish i could make it, i love both of these bands and i've missed BSP the last couple of times they've been here
unfortunately just need to finish this last paper :mad:

I thought BSP were outstanding. The twenty minute feedback-drenched primal-screaming chaotic and cacophonous finale was sweet icing on the cake.

i thought they had mellowed out, are they back to their insane antics of 4-5 years ago?
-
they were great.
but the crowd was in a coma.

The sound was painfully loud even with ear plugs. I started off about three feet from the stage, but I had to retreat to the back of the room after about five songs. I just can't enjoy shows like that. The sound kept clipping, and it was muddy as hell on top of it. I couldn't understand any of the lyrics or anything the BSP guys said. It really put a negative spin on the whole performance for me. The sound guy should be drawn and quartered. And the big finale at the end just went on way too long. I was praying for it to end. I'm really disappointed. I've been wanting to see BSP since 2003; I had a ticket for their Black Cat show with Phaser back then, but I couldn't go because a family member was in the hospital. I've been trying to see them ever since, but some kind of conflict always prevented me until tonight's show. If this is representative of their live shows, I'll go back to listening to their CDs. I certainly enjoyed some of the songs they performed tonight, but I can't say I enjoyed the performance as a whole, primarily because it was too damn loud.
I loved, loved, loved The Rosebuds though. I really liked them when they opened for National at the 9:30 Club last year, and I liked them even more tonight. I ended up buying all four of their CDs. So the evening wasn't a total loss.

Wow.
Jealous.

I thought last night was definitely a return to form for BSP. I've been to every show of theirs since they opened for the Libertines in 2003, and I must say some of their shows lately have been a bit lackluster. The foliage was back with a vengence, and I was actually surprised at the energy they've managed to muster since this has been by far their longest and most grueling tour of the states yet. Wood (drummer) has severe tendonitis in his right leg (kick drum leg, not cool) and has been a trooper down the stretch. They're playing for free, today, at noon, in Philadelphia! I don't know where they find the energy.
But for the show itself, I couldn't have been happier with the setlist. I actually grabbed one but don't have it with me right now. The sound at their shows has always been extremely bad for some reason. I find that its best to be up front, for some reason it's better sound. Couldn't speak to the crowd being comatose, but I'm not surprised. Also why I like down the front for BSP, I'm surrounded by the few hardcore fans that are at least somewhat into it.

For the record - flip-flops were allowed.
