Hello losers, music stops by 1030....which means plenty of time to go home and rest up, or go see Q and Not U. Can't do much about the Canada trip though.

sorry, the bands stop at 10:30... DJ spins the best in new music till dawn, or there abouts. And it gives you some time to sober up, since apparently one drink is enough for you, and it is a long drive back to Charm city. :D

well, here is the link to the page they list their music:
http://www.dcnine.com/index.php?page=music (http://www.dcnine.com/index.php?page=music)
(http://www.dcnine.com/index.php?page=music)
And you can listen to previous sets in their entirety on that page as well. No HFS to be found.

Hey Kurowsawa, sorry i missed you at Metric last night, I owuld have passed along some flyers for you ;-)
But I was happy to hear you are thinking of coming. Adding verbal commits from Lulu, Markie and GGW (he thinks), it is shaping up to be quite the Board party.

I come bearing gifts. (More to be distributed at a later date.) Even a special one for Bags. Someone double-park so I don't have to trek far (I'm arriving late).
Good outlook - I'll remember that when I use my new t-shirt to sop everything up. KIDDING. I hate floods it's my second one.

Well, I just want to thank all who showed up last night. While not as jam-packed as I was hoping, it turned out to really be an awesome night. The Frauds might just be as good as sonick told me they were, and The Bigger Lovers, well, those guys are just flat out great. Two nicer groups of guys would be hard to find (though I'm sure the High Strung are great Lulu).
Anyway, look for another BigYawn night coming to you soon, or not so soon, but still coming.
-
Had a good time while I was there. Wish I could have hung around longer. Nice to meet some more folks from the board.
How was the birthday, Bags?
-
Oy, very very good. Yup, it was a good birthday. Love DC9, my non-music fan friends enjoyed the back room lounge (with a supply of condoms, no less) and had a great time with the band and friends. Yippee. Weekend birthdays really rule. ;)

Yup, I did that, though I don't know what the high level of stress was over -- I got two names confused. Actually, even more, as everyone on the board has TWO names. My fault, and I'm sorry sonick. From now on I just say, "hey you..." I called Thirsty by Sonick's name once...can't believe it hasn't happened more.

It's been awile since seeing the Bigger Lovers live, they barely toured when the second CD came out, so i t was real treat to see them in action again.
the drummer remains the bands secret weapon, being able to power the band when need be and lay back for the slower stuff. my fav Bigger Lover CD still remains the first and they played a couple tracks of that which made me happy. The new one is growing one me and the second was too laid back for me.
the band has most excellent tastes in covers... Wreckless Eric, The Pretty Things and the Soft Boys. The last being appropriate since I often described their first cd as Robyn Hitchcock backed by Keith Moon.
The Frauds started and ended strong IMHO... Their up tempo stuff is catchy fun to listen to, and "The Church of Seduction & The Republic of Business" has hit single written all over it. The bass player even admitted to says its the bands "radio song". Not a real fan of the slacker stuff, it's a bit painful to listen to. The first show I saw them was better because it was a shorter set with less of the songs that don't float my boat. With a good manager and producer on board to focus the band they go farther then Baltimore.

Bags, or someone, can you post the review on The Bigger Lovers' cd from The Washington Post here? Thanks. BigYawn tells me to lie on the sign-up form for the online Post, but that takes way to long as errors occur when doing so.

THE BIGGER LOVERS "This Affair Never Happened . . . and Here Are Eleven Songs About It" Yep Roc
Friday, May 14, 2004; Page WE07
THE BIGGER LOVERS "This Affair Never Happened . . . and Here Are Eleven Songs About It"Yep Roc
Three years ago, the Bigger Lovers debuted with an album that paid sly homage to the Everly Brothers, the forefathers of pop-rock harmonizing. On the group's latest release, "This Affair Never Happened . . . and Here Are Eleven Songs About It," the Philadelphia quartet covers a tune by the Only Ones, a British punk-era band that didn't follow the lead of the Pistols or the Clash. Maybe the album's rendition of the Ones' wittily fatalistic "You've Got to Pay" doesn't mark a major shift, but the Lovers do sound more like fighters this time.
Songwriters Bret Tobias and Scott Jefferson haven't forsaken melody, and such numbers as "Slice of Life" feature effervescent harmonies. That affair must have been brutal, though. From the cover's photo of a praying mantis -- notorious for its lethal mating habits -- to the snarling resignation of "Blowtorch," the Lovers are bristling. "Put a flower on my tombstone / Have a chuckle when I'm gone," commands the latter song. Yet the slower tempos that characterize many of the songs don't make them funeral marches. "This Affair" may be a little short on joy, but it's full of life.
