Similar to that faced in mid-April, it's an onslaught of shows. Luckily I've spent nearly two weeks away from any music venues, so I should be well rested.
I think I'm skipping Clinic, Destroyer, Mission of Burma and Neko Case due to conflicts...the MUST SEEs are Metric, Sloan, Bigger Lovers and WSC/Carlsonics.
What are you going to? Am I missing something I shuoldn't miss?

i would, but i'm leaving for chicago on friday morning.

Yay to all of you coming to BigYawn night. And for those of you planning on going to Q and Not U, the Bigger Lover should be done by 1030 or 11, so you will still have time to wander over to the Cat to catch them.
Personally, I never know my schedule, but obviously i'll be at the Yawn party. And also at the WSC show. We actually have an interview coming up with the Hold Steady. and I may also end up at the 50 Foot wave show. You guys should check out The Standard, really cool band.

That's what I'm gonna try to do, although I still may leave a little early so I can catch Decahedron at the BC. I definitely want to stop by though.
-
I'll definitely be at 50'~
and hopefully will be able to stop by at some stage on friday

Walkie, do you know the details about this place? I'd love to make it out, but I'm a little leary since it seems like it's gonna run real late.

After hearing about their Black Cat gig, I'll try and make it out to this as well.

Wasn't the Standard the first band for the Hives/Mooney Suzuki gig 2 summers ago @ the Black Cat?
Crazy, crazy show.

Uninspired. Trite. Overdone. Bleh.
Saw them at Iota and was super-underwhelmed. Canned sounding. Overplaying British stereotypes. "We're the fu*king Thrills."

It's the end of their tour and Sitek's homecoming gig, so it should be a good one...if they play half as well as they did at the black cat, it'll be worth it.
the details:
the show is in a private duplex in Baltimore owned by a couple of good looking indie types that moonlight in a band called the Hush.
more info on their site (http://www.thehush.net/supreme.htm)
doors at 8, and there are a bunch of bands so my best guess is TVOTR at about midnight.
-
i'll shed a little more light on this show, as it should be a damn good one.
the supreme imperial is run by george france and his soon-to-be wife (this show is a going-away celebration for their honeymoon or something). france was the drummer in the convocation of, and an awesome one at that. these two are also in the hush, who are the obvious de facto house band for the supreme imperial. also in the hush is tonie joy, the legendary post-punk singer/guitarist who has formed and fronted many a fantastic band in baltimore, including moss icon, the universal order of armageddon, the great unraveling, and the convocation of.
there are three other opening bands, apparently: birdland, apollo heights, and the six parts seven. birdland is a duo of katrina ford and sean antanaitis, formerly the singer and guitarist of love life, who were one of the best birthday party-influenced bands of the last decade. i saw birdland open for tv on the radio and firewater in december and they were great. i know nothing of apollo heights, and i think that the six parts seven are a band on suicide squeeze records (764-hero, red stars theory, hella, etc).
anyway, this should be a fun night with lots of solid, diverse music, and i will most likely be there.
-
just to complete the info -
Apollo Heights is the new project of the Chavis brothers who formed the Chapel Hill soul/shoegaze band the Veldt. Don't know what the new stuff sounds like, but it's probably good.
The 6 Parts 7 are indeed on suicide squeeze records, and play instrumental music... like Explosions in the Sky with an americana fetish. I like their sound quite a bit.
Don't know Birdland from experience, but I hear good things about them.

that was pretty crazy...I don't remember if the Standard opened, but then again, I don't remember that night particularly clearly, period.
-
we are total nerds, hahaha.
the veldt were good and very unique, so apollo heights should be interesting.
i am never steered wrong with suicide squeeze, and explosions in the sky-like instrumentals with a dash of americana sounds real cool to me. kind of like scenic perhaps? or rex? (remember them?)
walkie, you wil like birdland if you like the birthday party, love life, the get hustle, shannon wright, etc.
yeah, i'll be going to this for sure now.

I'm hoping to be at TV on the Radio show in Baltimore. Depends on what time I get off of work and if I feel up to the drive.
I'll also be at Ani DiFranco tomorrow, Q and Not U on Friday, and 50 Foot Wave on Sunday. I'm considering Mission of Burma on Saturday, but I'm not that familiar with their stuff. With all the other concerts this week, I think I'll probably pass on them.

Nope. That was The Pattern.

It is worth mentioning that 50 Ft. Wave are playing an in-store at Revolution Records this sunday, from 4-5. Not sure why this is so unpublicized, but it should make many of you happy. Makes you wonder how you can run a record store if you don't know that much about music. Just a thought.
-
Awesome -- thanks for the info redsock...
-
I don't see any mid-May shows that I want to see.
Next show of interest is May 27. BR549 in Richmond.

Wait, i thoguht you were a Bigger Lovers fan? Why aren't you coming to the BY night?
-
is this some kind of slam on Revolution? How can you make the leap from a not very publicized in-store to them not knowing much about music? FWIW, Revolution was probably the only store in DC to even carry the 50'~ EP
Why not post some info on bigyawn about their various instores?

Well, my leap comes from a variety of things i have noticed. I'm not trying to slam Revolution. Nayan is a nice guy, and kudos to them for snagging the 50 Ft. in-store. Let's just leave it at that.

Talk about not knowing much about music...rumor has it that somebody on this board didn't even hear of Snow Patrol until 2004.
