Title: Gomez?
Post by: Herr Professor Doktor Doom on January 21, 2004, 02:12:00 pm

Anyone going to see Gomez on 1/22?   I'm thinking of going to see them, both because I like their music, but more importantly I like their name!

I really like them. I thought their show last time was one of the best of the year. I cant wait.

Is it or will it be sold out?  I'm thinking of popping in for just Gomez...

I dont think any of their previous shows sold out, although the last on might have on the night. I dont have my tickets yet either, but I was going to get them tonight.

it doesn't seem to be...  I'm kind of a last minute person when it comes to ticket buying so I hope it won't  :D

Whats up with the alternate dimension bboard Doom? Some of the same folks from here. I should talk, I'm trying to do the same thing. It's hard to be two places at once.

Gomez was brilliant last year and I can't wait to see them again. It did sell out the night of the show.
 
 I still don't understand all of the criticism about these guys.

allmy$to930 , you have the best name on the board, in my opinion.
 
 When do we think Gomez would go on -- weekday show with one opener.  Probably 10, right?
 
 PS, the 'best' description of these guys would be cool.  I'm gonna see if I can sell it as a "pre-WSC" show.

Thanks.
 
 I would guess they go on at 10. They played a really long set last year.
 
 I think this does more justice than pitchfork:
 
 Amazon says:
 
 Since their Mercury Prize-winning 1998 debut, Bring It On, this self-produced five-piece have created their own rules. Gomez are a unique band--they have three distinctive vocalists in Ben Ottewell, Ian Ball, and Tom Gray, and an ever-fizzling chemistry where every member is made to count. The resulting emotional and musical palette is vast, encompassing epic grandeur and lucid intimacy, tenderness and anger. A quick check of their armory reveals Beefheart-ian blues, a beautifully cantankerous horn section, mariachi melodies, euphoric harmony vocals, blasting hip-hop beats, slide guitar that sounds like it's come up the Mersey via the Mississippi--and that's just for starters. --Gavin Martin
