Did he cancel tonight?
Just wondering.
-
his name was taken off the main page
-
so, no opener? hmmm...
-
i'll do it
-
Yeah he canceled. His theramin got smashed up or something so he had to bail.
-
someone on twitter said no opener...but who knows if that is correct or not.
-
according to 930.com front page:
7pm Doors
8:30pm Shilpa Ray
9:30pm Grinderman
-
Shilpa Ray was good.
Grinderman were fantastic.
Crowd (in my and Samantha's general area) was douchy.
-
Agreed...it was super loud, super funny, and super fantastic. Warren Ellis was great to watch, wow.
tippy toe, tippy toe!
-
Warren Ellis stole the show for me. That guy is awesome to watch.
-
yeah, Warren Ellis and Nick Cave were amazing. Crowd didn't seem douchy to me - I was all the way in the back by the soundboard though (got there about 5 minutes before Grinderman took the stage) fucking great show.
in my ultimate nerd fantasy, I wished that this Warren Ellis and the Transmetropolitan writer Warren Ellis were one and the same, heh.
-
man i loved this one..
for dc standards the crowd seemed ok....nick cave seemed to think it was fine...
i pretty much watched nick cave and warren ellis exclusively all night and i think they were the show...they were both amazing and nick seemed to really feed off of warren...
while i enjoy the nick cave ballads i think its great to get a full on punked up show..
i probably preferred this one to the two times i've seen nick cave (the first one at lolla in 94 hardly counts as we got there towards the end of his set in the blistering sun..1 pmish..whoever put him on that lolla tour really did him a disservice.. he didn't return to the US for many many years../ the second the last nick cave show at the club..which was a very good show too)
nice that they let people take pictures....
-
Pretty much agree with you all. Was also near the back. Aside from the guy who thought he was at a Soul Asylum/Soundgarden show circa early 90's and would not stop swinging his hair around, it was really fun.
And actually, that guy wasn't too terrible.
-
For me the guys with the running commentary about the No Pussy Blues that made me miss a possibly funny quip from Nick (people laughed, I didn't hear).
It got progressively louder as the night went on, was a great show, the band looked to be having a great time.

If you are referring to the quip right after "No Pussy Blues" that people laughed at, it was Nick saying that the song is actually not about not getting any pussy, it is about not having a pussy.
Nick either really botched the words to "No Pussy Blues" at the 9:30 club show, he switched around the words "dandelions" and "pines" in that verse, and completely skipped the "drank a liter of cognac" verse.

I forget which song, but for one you could see on his face he f'ed it up. But he smiled and got on with it.

Awesome show! Anyone get the setlist?

This is not in order, but:
The entire second record and the first record minus Electric Alice, Depth Charge Ethel, Go Tell the Women

I expected this show to be amazing, but for some reason I didn't prepare myself for it to be as absolutely amazingly awesome as it was. I should have known better but it completely blew my mind. The opener took about 5 minutes to grow on me, but then I ADORED her voice. It drilled a hole into my head and I'll have to look her up. I just wish she played with a band, something classy. And I am DEFINITELY standing on Warren Ellis' side next time. I think I may have a new crush on him.
Azaghal & I might have been exposed to more douchiness as we were fourth-rowish. I was a bit surprised at how easily we got up front while getting in well after doors. Which made it even more ridiculous that the BIGGEST NICK CAVE FANS EVARRR had to wait until Grinderman actually came on stage before they pushed their way through everyone to get up front. A young lady (ahem) elbowed her way through at the beginning of Heathen Child and proceeded to dance on my toes, which I reamed her out for. She asked me how many Nick Cave shows I'd been to and that "this is what concerts are like." I said yes but you are being RUDE and you are HURTING me, so she justified herself by telling me "NICK CAVE IS PART OF MY LIFE!" I was so taken aback I didn't make any sassy comebacks, I'm totally kicking myself for it now. What a perfect opportunity. It was really the first time I'd been in such a blatant pissing contest. Also, someone from the balcony threw some sort of liquid down on the people around me. I'm only vaguely annoyed by that because it didn't happen to me, in which case, hell hath no fury.
That said, this was nowhere near the worst show I've experienced in that respect. But it was definitely compounded by having been at school all day which ended with an exam. I haven't been to a show in ages and just wanted to enjoy myself, and honestly that show seemed much more douchy than the last Bad Seed shows. I remember some very lovely people at those shows, so I guess it was disappointing. Afterward I mumbled to myself "stupid kids on drugs, get off my lawn." I need to get out more

douchy
(Grandpa Simpson voice): Once upon a time, one of the benefits of liking certain genres of music was that entire musical styles were relatively light on douchebag fans, and you could go to a show and know you were likely to mainly run into like-minded people you easily clicked with. Unfortunately that is no longer the case, I'd say largely thanks to the Internet making all forms of music much more accessible. There's something to say for elitism... this is why I'm becoming a hermit.

I thought you were going to say that douchey people are to be expected at a Nick Cave show.

didn't see any douches..
i got there about a minute before grinderman kicked off so i followed about 10 people down the left side bar past the taco stand and ended up about 3 back from the stage

I think that's perhaps something you were going to say! :D
