let's do it again...
Kurosawa and I will be there. Sadly, Thirsty will not, as he and his girlfriend are going coal mining this weekend.

:eek: so many jokes there
I will be there tonight, anybody want to guess on set times
I wish Decahedron were 2nd, so I could skip Mary Timony without skipping them
-
Walkie, buddy, you're killing me... sigh, again I say it, ample time to catch both shows at the Black Cat and DC9 tonite. By 1030, when the Lovers get off stage, whoever the first band is at the cat (mary timony or decahaedron) will be just starting. consider it a happy hour. Alright, I've said my peace. back to the roll call.
-
if i go to anything tonight, it'll be shannon wright and enon in baltimore. not enough into either q and not u or the bigger lovers to see them.
-
I'll be there.
-
i'll be there too...i don't know much about the openers...could someone please fill me in?
-
Decahedron was formed from the remains of Frodus. Pretty loud and aggressive. I'm definitely going early to catch them.

I was there last Friday so I won't be there tonight. Gotta long drive to Ocean City tommorrow. :D
-
thanks, i'll be skipping them judging from your description. who is first, them or mary timony? they sometimes switch the openers around.

The Black Cat site lists:
FRI MAY 14- Q AND NOT U, MARY TIMONY, DECAHEDRON $9 mainstage 9:30
I'm assuming Decahedron comes on first, since they're listed last. I'm not really sure though.
-
Q & U is alright. I never really got into them heavily though.
-
I'll be there.

wait, if loud and agressive don't do it for you, why are you going to see Q and Not U?

I have a dinner to do tonight, chief...which means I probably won't be out until 9:30-10 anyway. *bows head regretfully*

good question, paige. i haven't had the opportunity to see q not u (i've learned to buy tickets in advance to avoid sellout issues of past times they've been at the black cat.) and want to try them out live. might not be my thing, but from what i've heard of decahedron, they really won't be my thing. but who knows, maybe i'll be surprised.

oh the irony

is "q and not u" worth it? i mean i really don't want to see the openers. if i skip this show, i can fight and live to see another day (or show) w/the money i'm saving.
-
did i confuse you with someone else? all these names have thrown me since i'm only the occasional poster.

Q and Not U were great last night! Mary Timony was OK. She had a couple of up-tempo songs that I liked. I missed Decahedron.

agreed. the double encore/second encore combination was killer. decahedron were alright...sort of a punk/metal thing. mary timony was better up close where the fans kept me cool, than in the back where the temp must have been 90 degrees. hey pollard, what did your friend think of our hometown heroes?

From the songs that I've heard, they aren't that loud and aggressive. Of course, maybe I've only heard the mellower ones. I like them and have been meaning to see them but keep missing them for one reason or another. But, I can see how they may have been only just alright. There is something missing yet from their music. A certain energy that gives it that spark they need. They are kind of smouldery but with lots of potential. Light it up, boys! (And that's coming from a non-hardcore type. :eek: )
-
they were pretty fired up at the show, actually...screamy, jumpy etc. can't complain about the quality of the performance...the music is just a little run of the mill.
-
I hated both opening bands, I thought Q and Not U were playing notsogood at first but made up for it at the end.

well shortly after you walked away, our all day drinking and the extreme heat meant we were both not feeling too well, and we called it a night, my second Q and not U show is proving elusive, I spent all day in the sun today, so I am thinking it is not that horrible that we left, but it does sound like it was a good show, we probably would have managed to stay had Q and not U been imminent, but Mary Timony was unbearable in those conditions

So what's drummer John Davis up to? (http://www.inform.umd.edu/News/Diamondback/archives/2004/05/11/diversions1.html)

Q and not U were great. It was heartening to see such a young crowd too.
Mary Timony was pretty lame IMO.
Missed Decahedron.

missed you, ggw...
p.s. do the politics ever get in the way of a good time for you?

I can't figure out how Mary Timony keeps getting booked with harder acts. She also opened for Sonic Youth about a year or so ago. Not a good fit at all. She's more of a let's sit down and relax with Rhett and Celeste type. Not bad but not exciting enough to keep your interest, especially while standing. Better left on record for those lazy days.
-
All I can say is, after seeing 'em at Coachella, it's so nice to be in a hometown crowd that appreciates them and sings along.
The other thing I have to say is that I hate all-ages Friday and Saturday night crowds. There was this annoying chick (21+) who kept trying to sneak beer for her boyfriend (underage). She got offensively drunk and they kept going through this fight/makeup/makeout cycle through the show that was a bit distracting.

Hmmm, and meanwhile last week a friend of mine was booted out of the club, apparently quite aggressively and rudely, for letting her 33-year old friend have a sip of her beer (33-year old friend had left I.D. at home). Literally, a sip. When the staff person took them out and answered their story with a "out you go, you're breaking the law, you know," they replied with, "Actually no, we're not."
Alas, I have sympathy for both sides (and I've never seen BC staff be rude). But it burns my craw to hear about obnoxious folks getting away with it...

Was that the chick in the multi-colored cocktail dress at Mission of Burma?

No. Being involved and being informed are good things, regardless of one's political views. So if bands want to promote those things -- more power to them.
I would also argue that the vast vast majority of those of us on the right are completely tolerant, despite how we may be portrayed these days.
The trite and empty sloganeering is sometimes annoying. Like Emily from Metric saying "Things really suck. We really need to do something." Could she have been any more ambiguous?
But Q and Not U are always active in some specific cause (often local) and voter registrations are great.
Finally, if I only went to see conservative indie-rockers, I wouldn't get out very often. I'd have to wait until Travis Morrison did a solo tour or a D-Plan reunion.
