Title: it's my party
Post by: Seth Hurwitz on March 03, 2002, 09:41:00 am: OK, OK, I'm back.I guess enough people misinterpreted my comments in the Post that I need to sort out who I shouldn't have pissed off from who I should have.I can't promise I'll get here as often as I used to, but I thought I'd give it a try.so start throwing those curveballs.

And we understand if you can't pop in every five minutes, its not like you get paid to do this. Well, I guess, since you are "the boss," you DO get paid to post if you want...

I have often been asked about opening clubs in other cities, but I don't think it's some formula I can duplicate elsewhere. the 930 is unique, because it's unique. and, I believe that's what people appreciate about it. at least I do.

Post by: noFAN on March 04, 2002, 12:29:00 pm: i strongly recommend you to have a look over at your bouncers. maybe going over some conduct. definitely explaining to them where the law stops, as it certainly is not in their own hands.could get pretty messy if what i witnessed continues at your club, sir.

Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on March 04, 2002, 02:25:00 pm: Cornershop and Bob Mould should be most excellent... I read where the Old 97's were thinking of playing some Northeast dates in the Spring. Any chance of them doing a show at the 9:30 Club in the next few months?
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: situtu on March 04, 2002, 04:31:00 pm: c'mon Sethhow could you not be jazzed up about the surprise radiohead gig this summer?! you know, the one they're giving us to make up for the two cancelled dates last summer. i trust thom and the lads enjoyed themselves the last time they surprised us at the club. Do you care to enlighten us as to how that all came about by the way? Solo Stipe, Pulp-groove, and then the head,. i still get chills thinking of that nite.if, and when, this happens again, a contest would be in order.

Post by: teledano on March 04, 2002, 04:46:00 pm: WTF - radiohead ? in the 9:30 bwaahaahaa
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: situtu on March 05, 2002, 06:21:00 pm: seth, your silence has me wondering if there is indeed a radiohead show in the works. or, perhaps, you have simply decided not to encourage wicked rumors.
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: markie on March 05, 2002, 06:25:00 pm: Hi Seth,Well I have been moaned at for posting too much and subverting threads, so here goes (again)I liked your interview in the post it appears you have asense of humour, unlike a number of other people.... Did you stand in for Robbie Williams drummer at his second gig?
Title: Re: it's my party

Did you stand in for Robbie Williams drummer at his second gig? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>thanks - it was nice to hear I didn't piss off EVERYBODY. I just get so bored with the same old questions from people trying to get to the bottom of why a ticket costs what it costs. everyone should just look at the total price and decide whether they want to go. can you imagine if people dissected every purchase like that? how much the farmer, the dairy, the distrubutor, & 7-Eleven get for a gallon of milk? jeez!yes that was me with Robbie.[This message has been edited by Seth Hurwitz (edited 03-05-2002).]
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: markie on March 05, 2002, 06:38:00 pm: Actually I am a kiss ass. I think tickets are overly cheap. Jeez it costs nearly $9 to see a film, more if you want to go to Mazza gallery. That makes a live show performed by real people seem pretty good.As for Robbies drummer. I think you did a pretty good stand in. Did you get puke on you? What was wrong with the guy?
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: Seth Hurwitz on March 05, 2002, 06:40:00 pm: there is no Radiohead show. they are not touring this year.the surprise Radiohead gig, which was absolutely one of the most exciting things in my career, is a rather long story that I will sit down and bang out when I have the time if everyone is really that interested. but wouldn't you rather just leave those memories intact?[This message has been edited by Seth Hurwitz (edited 03-05-2002).]
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: situtu on March 05, 2002, 06:48:00 pm: fair enough Seth,presumably, we all have other things to do. however, so that my memories are correct, wasn't there an early show that nite? I've always been curious to know if you had to ask someone to end early. Now that you have me thinking again.... compromise, please share as much or as little as you would like. just know that there are many people (OK, my wife, two friends, and I at least) who are VERY interested in knowing how that magic went down.rumor has it that thom and the lads are on the west coast. if i heard correctly, thom at least joined some others in a performance recently. was it anti-grammy perhaps? or a musicians' rights rally? something like that.
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: stpmattb on March 05, 2002, 07:59:00 pm: On the topic of Radiohead, I came across this today...Radiohead are planning to hit the studio to begin work on new material for their next effort in April. No release date has been set as of yet however. At present, the band plan to follow up the studio stint with a European trek in the summer.As for Thom, he joined Beck last week (the 26th) for a cover of Velvet Underground's "I'm Set Free" at the Wiltern Theatre Recording Artists' Coalition's Concert for Artists' Rights in Los Angeles.

Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: Seth Hurwitz on March 06, 2002, 09:35:00 am: Twas The Night O'Radioheadso here's how I remember it...while I generally hate going to shows that aren't mine (think of being in your house, but you're not allowed to touch anything) I decided to suck it up and go to the Tibetan RFK show for the sole purpose of seeing Kraftwerk. that was too much to resist.of course, lightning struck and all hell broke loose, which I heard about on the way there and turned around.being that the previous night we had a Red Hot Chili Peppers warmup show at the club, and there were all sorts of luminaries from the oncoming Tibet weekend hanging about, I had had an unavoidable all-nighter (I was younger then) and was actually relieved to just get some carry out and go home and recuperate.on the way to Rocklands for that comfort food fix, the cell phone rang.to be continued...[This message has been edited by Seth Hurwitz (edited 03-06-2002).]
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: teledano on March 06, 2002, 10:41:00 am: I think it's cool Seth is writing in here! If only all business owners could connect. This Radiohead shiat is from years ago, not last summer.
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: Chip Chanko on March 06, 2002, 11:15:00 am: Sitting around bummed with friends after taking the metro home from rfk.Listening to HFS as all hopes went away.Driving up to Baltimore to see the dismemberment plan play...but still tuned in to hfs with small hopes.the announcement.TURNING THE CAR AROUND AND RACING TOWARDS 9:30 WITH TICKET STUB IN HAND.Stipe, Pulp, Radiohead. Yes.At least they played an extended soundcheck last summer...
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: vickSka241 on March 06, 2002, 12:13:00 pm: my friends and i were also heading home that night, then turned the car around once HFS announced Radiohead. then they announced when we were 5 minutes from the city that you had to be 21 to get in. i was very sad (i was 18 at the time), especially since i missed michael stipe. some people say you didn't have to be 21 but oh well. i was just glad to see the Tibet show both days. got a great spot for R.E.M. the next day (http://www.930.com/ubb/smile.gif)

Post by: kosmo vinyl on March 06, 2002, 12:22:00 pm: <kiss ass mode on>welcome back seth! the forum lost a little of its magic when you left. with all the sepculation that goes on about the concert promotion biz, its nice to have an authoritative voice posting once in awhile. kinda like the belle & sebstain manager posting on the matador records board about ticket prices. your milk analogy is priceless btw[This message has been edited by kosmo (edited 03-06-2002).]

Post by: Seth Hurwitz on March 06, 2002, 06:21:00 pm: goddamn I am digging this new Cornershop disc
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: situtu on March 06, 2002, 06:28:00 pm: i'm glad to hear some positive impressions of cornershop's latest. personally, i was bored with their last album, i've heard tjinder singh has been involved in a few amazing collaborations so i had him going off on his own. glad to hear their sticking together because their live energy is special.
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: situtu on March 06, 2002, 06:32:00 pm: seth, come join us over at the lambchop thread and give us your thoughts on mars volta who should be booking for the summer soon - i hope.
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: markie on March 06, 2002, 06:36:00 pm: You again situtu,someone said that Cornershop at 9.30 was one of the worst gigs they had seen and the lead SInger would not make eye contact or acknowledge the audience at all...Still I liked the first album.
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: situtu on March 06, 2002, 06:47:00 pm: c'mongive the guy a break. stagefright is quite common. even clarence (Citizen Cope) battled it for quite some time. special translated as transcending - not engaging.
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: Jaguar on March 06, 2002, 06:47:00 pm: I like their new (I think) single. Can't remember the name exactly but it has Rocky in the title.
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: situtu on March 06, 2002, 06:51:00 pm: first a right, and now an uppercuttricky doesn't exactly make eye contact. still, his tour in support of maxinquaye was amazing. isn't it cool of seth that he let tricky smoke up on stage? no need to discuss what tricky's done lately though.

Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: situtu on March 06, 2002, 06:56:00 pm: one thing i will not do and that's put down (anymore than i may have already) someone's taste or music. i'm not sure who said it, but they said it best... it's all good if someone feels something when they hear it. i have blowback and can tolerate a few tracks. but if someone says it's their "grace," i can respect that.

Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: Jaguar on March 06, 2002, 07:03:00 pm: Situtu said he was a Teacher, Markie. Just give him or her a couple more years. No doubt s/he'll change his/her tune! That is, unless s/he works in some Utopian system...which I doubt! Before you know it, s/he (?) will be joining Rhett and I at slinging something or other! (Probably students, Principals and politicians.) BTW Situtu, are you a male or a female? Just want to know so we can make this typing easier.
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: markie on March 06, 2002, 07:05:00 pm: Perhaps gender is an offensive question,perhaps Kline-Felter is in the house?Actually I cant remember how to spell it, just think Jamie Lee Curtis...
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: Jaguar on March 06, 2002, 07:11:00 pm: Okay, you lost me there Markie. Apparently, I didn't see that movie. Or are you talking about that Jamie Lee Curtis gender question? [This message has been edited by Jaguar (edited 03-06-2002).]
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: situtu on March 06, 2002, 07:12:00 pm: you're on to me. there's no way i can go on posting without getting caught up in some wholesome humor. that's certainly not my nature - especially since my special ed students don't get sarcasm, i'll need this board as another outlet.sorry, for causing gender/sex confusion - male. situtu was my peace corps namibia name and i've kept it. it's been a few years, probably time to let it go - although, the meaning in silozi (my host language) is pretty classic: "naked transient lover" as a newlywed, perhaps i should consider a new screen name.
Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: markie on March 06, 2002, 07:15:00 pm: its a genetic disease where you have too many of the sex-chromosomes. So instead of XY there are people with XXX and XYX. I believe that Jamie Lee Curtis is XYX and that is Kline-Felter. Silencing of the extra chromosome means that people are normal, but get messed up genitalia.

Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: nkotb on March 07, 2002, 10:58:00 am: I think it was Thirsty that said it, but I'd have to agree. It seemed more than stage fright to me. It was more like lack of caring. The show was being taped, so that might have had somethign to do with it, but it was bad enough that it actually got me completely disinterested in them as a band. Their second album is still pretty great though...

The Trans-Atlantic contingent here is great for taking over parties when the life seems to be leaving them. Some of us are NOT party-poopers. But like Poorlulu said, we'll be good when you continue.

I know I would have enjoyed it. I'm sort of in between jobs now....just not...officially. (Don't ask. I can't tell yet. lol) Yes, I will be at the South/Elbow show on Monday.

Just don't leave me alone in the corner of the Café in Amsterdam and leave without me. May not know it until it's too late.

I'm thinking of all these various deals and such that I could swap them and then I decide to just call them and explain the situation. what do you know, maybe they'll say "jeez, you can't pass up an oppurtunity like that - we'll get out of your way".and then they said "jeez, you can't pass up an oppurtunity like that - we'll get out of your way"to be continued...

Post by: Medic on March 09, 2002, 02:06:00 am: So I'm at Sandra Bernhard's party tonight, where I ran into none other than Mr. Seth Hurwitz. We regaled each other with tales, and perspectives of the night of the surprise Radiohead show (Twas the Night O' Radiohead). Seth encouraged to me offer my- the humble security officer's point of view of that evening here, on the message board to all of you wonderful people. Yes it was a rainy Saturday night. I believe it was somewhere between 9, and 10. I was out in the alley chatting with a fellow security mate about the previous night's Chilli Pepper performance- and about the upcoming Millennium event later that night. I was summoned by radio to the office by my Crew Chief Rafael. It was at this time I was informed of the change of plans for the night. We were currently hosting a private party for the Washington City Paper (as I so vividly recall), and were way understaffed (hence ill prepared) for the event which was now heading our way. Long story short (too late)... We completely changed speeds in a heartbeat! Stages were moved, barricades erected, lighting tresses adjusted- I was even impressed how the entire Staph of the club pushed together to cram from one type of event to something else entirely. The most difficult part was informing the 200-300 people who showed up for Millennium that there was no such event on that night- and grooves would have to be gotten on elsewhere. All in all the fortitude of the club Staph was challenged, and met with the greatest of ease (seemingly); and the least amount of bellyaching ever recorded by staph at the club.Hopefully this will quench your desires for the Night O' Radiohead until Seth delivers his next installment.

Post by: thatguy on March 09, 2002, 06:11:00 am: here's my version:i worked a long, hard day at ye olde piercing shoppe, and then made my way home. i had heard on the radio that lightning had struck at rfk, so before removing my boots and curling up with a good book and some sleepy time tea, i checked my messages in case something cool was happening at the club. lo and behold, there was a frantic message telling me that radiohead was playing the club and to "get my ass down here now!" i called the club to get the details and to see if they still needed me, since it had been a little while since the message was left. some intern answered the phone and i told them i had been called in, and asked if i was still needed. "hold on, lemme check." about a millisecond later, holly picks up the line and says: "get your ass down here now!" notice a theme? so, i hopped in my truck and proceeded to speed, run red lights, and break many other laws to make the 30 minute drive from my house to the club in about 15 minutes. i screeched around the corner, saw a line of about eleventy billion people wrapping around the street, and barely let the truck stop before i jumped out, ready to work. then i stood around for at least an hour before anything happened. good thing i rushed.i then spent most of the rest of the night letting in monks, not letting in a whole lot of people (the millenium boys were very understanding), and turning down more money in bribes than i made that entire year, not to mention the sex, drugs, and other offers i refused.

SHHHHHH!!! STOP IT - YOU'RE GOING TO BLOW IT!!! I am a firm believer in not talking about things until they're real. I suppose that's mostly superstition, but I can't tell you how many great shows have gone away because I mentioned them before they were done. or football games I bet on that went down the drain because I told somebody I was about to win. so I just went on eating my barbecue and trying to think about things like sports or something, lest I get too excited (does that remind you of anything?).ahemanyway, the way we had left it with them was that they were indeed serious, and they were going to have a band meeting at 8 and get back to us. at 8:30 the phone rang."Hi, Seth, this is Brian"hi Brian. how's it going?"pretty good. they're all still pretty shook up about this whole lightning thing"uh huh. did you have your meeting?"well, actually, we're in the middle of that now"alright. and how's it looking?"well, I think the band would like to do this"and...?"they were really disappointed that they couldn't play"but...?"so let's do it"OK, now I could talk about it.to be continued...[This message has been edited by Seth Hurwitz (edited 03-09-2002).]

Post by: Seth Hurwitz on March 10, 2002, 09:30:00 am: Twas The Night O'Radiohead...I don't recall there being much discussion about it, but everyone just assumed that we would just let everyone in with ticket stubs from that day's Tibet show. we called HFS and told them to get ready to make a big announcement at 10 PM.I listened to the radio on the way down to the club. if you can believe this, I had actually started having anxiety about whether the word would get out and enough people would show up. but, of course, when I pulled up people were going nuts. just coming in from all directions, feeling incredibly fortunate that they had even heard about it but now maybe starting to panic that they might not actually get in. so near yet so far, etc. that was the fastest forming line I've ever seen. it was like one of those film clips where you see an egg breaking played backwards and everything gathers instead of scatters. the line just formed - whooosh.everything was in order, though, thanks to the staff, which I must discuss at this point.truly one of those most amazing things about owning the 930 Club is getting to see these people operate. they are unfuckingbelievable. I mean, I think I made one phone call to whoever I got a hold of first, and the rest all happens. 8:30 that night they get told they need to put a Radiohead show on, and they put a Radiohead show on. I wish everybody could see this. the Pentagon would send people to study it if they knew.so, first thing I do is walk up and down the line and the best part,as usual, is seeing how excited people are and trying to imagine how excited I'd be if I were one of them. which isn't too hard in this particular case. so this is getting really good, because people are just freaking.now, I'm thinking, well let's remember this is rock and roll and things don't always happen the way they're supposed to. I better make sure this one still is. because you never know with a band like Radiohead (although I've come to know them now as very responsible). some bands that do things like this (Prince, for example) like to get everything ready and THEN decide if they really feel like playing. Chad had told me earlier that the quipment really did show up as promised and that it looked like a real gig. but, being one of those types that would never believe in UFO's until I see one for myself, I still wasn't absolutely convinced. so I went inside.and there were road equipment cases marked Radiohead. and then I knew this was really going to happen.to be continued...

I cant think of too many big Brit sell outs... Infact the people who come to mind are people who became succesful, but then made thier music unpalletable on purpose. You might wnat to put Radiohead in that category, along with pulp and The prodigy

Actually GGW, I wasn't pissed off. I was actually making a joke...you know, making fun of Radiohead fans, who like the band itself, make them out to be a bit more important than they are. So I was the one exhibiting a sense of humour, you were the one lacking it in not getting the joke. You seem to be able to crack a good joke yourself, but maybe you don't appreciate my humour? I actually think Radiohead is pretty decent, though a bit too self-important and a bit critically overrated. But will they be revered thirty years from now? Nah. But hey, I'd rather listen to them than Sting...

Title: Re: it's my party
Post by: Seth Hurwitz on March 11, 2002, 08:28:00 am: Twas The Night O'Radioheadalright let's get this over with because I'm starting to worry that I made all this effort for just a couple of people and everybody else thinks I'm a pompous windbag for thinking that my life's adventures are this important (guess that comes under the heading of "feeling vulnerable today")...so, the doors open, people dash in like kids coming downstairs on Xmas morning and this band starts to play. now, me being a fairly new Radiohead convert - I always liked them but didn't study them - actually thought this was indeed Radiohead (Thom Yorke looks like what? him, right? the guy on stage is Thom Yorke isn't it?) for a sec and then, before completely embarrassing myself, asked somebody quietly who that was. Pulp, I was told. wow - another band that just wanted to play. getting even cooler.it was fairly late and I was fairly inebriated when Radiohead finally came on so it gets rather fuzzy at this point. I have since amended my wayward misbehaviors so this will never happen again but I was young then. I can now remember with crystal clarity just how horribly tacky Nelly Furtado turned out to be, for example.but there they were - Radiohead on stage at 2(?)AM. Ed from Live standing next to Michael Stipe looking like they were waiting to shoot their next scene in The Coneheads. Brad & Jenifer in that surreal image that got plastered over every tabloid in the world (I have a French newsstand poster of that one). Stipe getting up and singing my favorite song with the band. people in my little balcony saying over & over "can you believe this".and then they were done and the lights are up and all of a sudden this is no longer all real but something that happened.and that is really the event of it all for me: the process, the excitement, the memories. the actual perfformance was good, of course, but that's not the point. at least, for me. the fact that it is just the point for so many others is what I get off on. when we are a part of people's favorite memories in life - that's what it's all about. sounds sappy, but it's the truth.and that's my Radiohead story.now PLEASE nobody ask about Bull Run. I don't know that we're all ready to laugh about that one yet.

while I generally hate going to shows that aren't mine (think of being in your house, but you're not allowed to touch anything) I decided to suck it up and go to the Tibetan RFK show for the sole purpose of seeing Kraftwerk. that was too much to resist.

of course, lightning struck and all hell broke loose, which I heard about on the way there and turned around.

being that the previous night we had a Red Hot Chili Peppers warmup show at the club, and there were all sorts of luminaries from the oncoming Tibet weekend hanging about, I had had an unavoidable all-nighter (I was younger then) and was actually relieved to just get some carry out and go home and recuperate.

on the way to Rocklands for that comfort food fix, the cell phone rang.

to be continued...

when weasal said to stay tuned for a major concert announcement that night, we got in the car and started for the club imediately. so by the time they announced radiohead, we were almost there. one girl with us was under age. but we all got in anyway, thanks!

i just went to the last page of posts and noticed it and felt like throwing in my 2 cents. that secret radiohead show was great. after the concert me and some friends kidnaped ben lee and jake from squirt tv and got lost in dc. sean lennon was hanging out at that show too. it was an awesome night.
