Title: Joseph Arthur & the Lonely Astronauts
Post by: Herr Professor Doktor Doom on May 22, 2007, 12:26:00 pm
Great show at the club last night, and a rare experience these days to enjoy really good music without being packed in like sardines.   Also nice to see [??? - I forgot your user name!  Sorry  :(  )

what's the the mic in the foreground of the second pic?  my guess would be an audience mic, for a live recording.  did the band mention this?

Yeah, they said they were taping it and selling it at the merch booth...or something like that.

He typically records all his live shows and makes them available on a cd after the show. Some of them are available on his website.
 
 My interest in this show went down due to the suckiness of his new material.

Stars of Track & Field suck, too. Belle and Sebastian should sue them for using their song title.

I'm not saying J. Arthur sucks. Mind you, when he played Jammin Java on his last tour, it was awesome. Bit odd that he went from JJ to the 9:30.
 
 Yes, SOTAF do suck.

They put on a great show when they opened for The Long Winters. I really enjoyed them and look forward to seeing them again. But I already forgot who they're playing with. Bought way too many concert tix.

I couldn't make it last night (too bad - I could have seen the Doom!). Anyhow, funny you say that Rhett...There are a few songs I like but the remaining are a little bit of a snooze.
 Too bad about SOTAF...I watched them on a SXSW show, they were all right...a little lackluster, but I dig their guitar sound in parts.

It was a very good show. I was very surprised.
 
 It's nice to have some breathing room!
 
 He is so much better with a full band.

Great photos, Doom! Glad you were able to check out JA & the Lonely Astronauts. I love that he sells the show right after it's over. The version of "Take Me Home" that was performed in Portland (May 4) is something I listen to almost daily now.

Nonetheless, still a rare sighting.
 Interesting, but no, not related. (Under another name, I'm known for providing brownies.)
