very seriously considering it! might swing by the club and pick up tickets tonight, if not i'll try my luck at the door.
-
95% certain.

just figured out that it's Tussle (http://www.tussle.org/) from San Fran not Tussie who is opening the show
-
Kosmo - you have the set times? I know it's a FAQ question, but since you're discussing it here...
Also, you DJing?
-
azaghal, julian - two gents i'd love to meet. please let me know fi you'd be up for grabbing a beer before or after the show, or at a minumum between acts...
-
Yes to being the DJ and no to having the schedule

One of the people I'm going with is 20 so he can't get into DC9 or Duffy's (my usual hangouts). If you wanted to do a between bands basement meetup, I'd be game.

turns out ill be in DC this weekend, but not even sure ill arrive in time. have to go to a volunteer orientation in nyc before i head out, so if im there in time, ill probably show up, assuming theres still tix at the door.

i'll try to swing down to the backbar at some point during Tussle...
-
I'm there...and I cant wait.
"Shake a Fist" is gonna KICK MY ASS live!!!

I'm game for this, but I don't know what any of you look like.

how's this for a plan: i'll be wearing an orange t-shirt with the atari logo on it, it's pretty un-missable. kosmo and i are familiar, if he's downstairs in the backbar we'll be chatting (i'm sure he'll try running away from me, but i'll eventually end up cornering him :) ).
i've listened to the mp3s that tussle have on thier website, and while decent my heart definitely isn't set on catching them. so my plan is to get to the club around 6:45-7:00 and head straight down to the backbar, and later go upstairs and catch the end (second half?) of tussle's set. if you get there before tussle go on then come on down and join me. kosmo, please come down whenever you can. i'm completely open to any other suggestions, should anyone have one.
please come down and say hi, would love to meet a few of you.
edit: further suggestion - after the show, we could head over to ben's chili bowl :)

What FUN! those Hot Chip lads are several electronica groups rolled into one, with a bits and pieces of the Beautiful South, New Order, Underworld, and DEVO among others.
No actual DJ setlist from me as Hot Chip brought along their own, will probably post a pretend one for giggles and grins.

that was indeed a frickin' hoot. i'll add ultravox and even depech mode to the list that kosmo suggested, indeed a lot of different sounds going on in that set (although there was more than one moment when i was asking myself "does it really take 5 guys to make this sound?").
tussle didn't work for me. not horrible, but not particularly interesting either. definitely have potential if they were to run a slightly tighter ship. it's a bad sign that "pick of destiny", which was playing in the backbar, was a bigger attraction for me :eek:
always nice to hang with kosmo. julian, azaghal - you're fired.
-
Solid, fun, high-energy show. The newer stuff had even more of an electro-pop sound than their older material. I was kind of hoping to hear "Keep Fallin'" or "Colors" or "Careful." Ahh well...Maybe next time. I thought Tussle were ok; they could've used more melody and less percussion.
-
I wish they also played "Playboy" and a cover of "Sexual Healing", which they played in NYC. The Baltimore show last year was better because of the live drummer (LCD Soundsystem's drummer) but it was great to hear the new songs this time around!
-
Interesting... I was wondering what they would have sounded like with a live drummer...
