Anyone else going? I'm getting there late, but excited about seeing them again.
-
I shall be there.
-
what time you think they will go on stage?
-
i'm planning on it, but we'll see if the weather dissuades me. i'd be surprised if they hit the stage before 11, RNRH usually runs a half hour or so later than what they shoot for.
-
Assuming the roads are reasonably clear, I'll be there.
-
And, as an aside, I'm glad there was a rollcall bearman. There haven't been too many of those lately, I miss seeing who is going to what (I'm a stalker, yes)
-
ya know missy, i was thinking the same thing.
i wanted to start a rollcall for blond redhead, but didn't because i was afraid that i had missed the "no more rollcalls" memo.
stalkers, unite.
-
hell yeah! I'll probably be wearing a Social D shirt. Feel free to come up and say hi.

this is (a small part of) why we are friends.
-
p.s. i'll be in a black dress with bright fushia tights.
-
Wow. Anyone catch Carol Bui's set? Fucking awesome!!
-
I was surprised to see you at Blonde Redhead. Are you really that hip or you pretend to be?
i kid...

was mostly there to see drug rug, who were pretty fun. that first song they played, "day i die," is just absurdly catchy. right? (http://www.myspace.com/drugrugdude) i could be wrong but i thought i saw bnyce0d or whatever his name is rocking out to them up front. hadn't seen the rosebuds in a few years, very solid. they don't have that drummer who makes horrible drummer faces anymore, unfortunately. he was an absolute riot.

that was my third time seeing blond redhead this year. as i wrote in my review of the LCD/AF show on randalls island, BR have become a not-to-be-missed band for me. the first 15 minutes of the show were absolutely sublime, and the last 10 + the encore were pretty solid too. the middle half of the show was more hit-or-miss, becoming a little too abstract for me at times. the drummer was incredible, and what's-her-name did this sexy little dance while playing the keyboards that totally worked for me.
DC is truly blessed for having the 930 club. IMO, the club is one of the best places anywhere to see a live show. BR was my first time back in almost five months... i felt like i was home. gawd i love the 930.
-
So they didn't end up doing an enore did they? I waited around for a few minutes and then left...
-
Sadly no...I would have loved to hear more off the first record. Do they have yet another drummer? I thought they had a different guy when they opened for the National. My first time to the Rock'n'Roll Hotel and I have to say that it was pretty cool. Nice space (especially upstairs), decent sound, but I'm glad that it wasn't sold out or else it might have been uncomfortable.

I really wanted to hear Bluebird and Warm Where you Lay... but alas, no.
And yes, its a different drummer than last time they headlined the RNR. I had a good time, but I think the last show was better and longer...and there was an 3-song encore. Either way...I'm writing up a review and there will be photos on BYT sometime today.
-
i left after "big heartbreak," i had my fill by then. i don't need to hear more then 35 minutes from most bands. it always sounds like ivan is saying "going back to ballston" instead of "boston" so when he mentioned galaxy hut before playing that one i chuckled a bit.
i think that was the first on-stage marriage proposal i've seen.
-
The only other onstage marriage proposal I've seen was during Travis in 2001 and they dedicated "Flowers In the Window" to the happy couple.

Yeah I was hoping for 'Warm Where You Lay' or '4-Track Love Song' as a result of the proposal... 'Shake Our Tree' was def. not what I expected to hear though. Ha.

the 9:30 b/r show might have been great, but the real question is did paul banks make an appearance playing with them? if not - well then the terminal 5 show was insanely better! plus we got the ravonettes playing with them.
