okay, so I know I'm about a week early, but my goal is to get everybody on these boards who doesn't listen to them yet out to their show at the Cat. who's with me?
-
Wuju talkin' bout, Willis?
-
come to the Black Cat on December 3rd and see for yourself.
-
What's in it for me?
-
A REALLY GOOD BAND!
are you into the Shins at all?
-
the shins totally changed my life!!!!!!!!!11
-
I do like the Shins!
-
well, fan-fuckin'-tastic.
i personally think that Rogue Wave sound like a better/slightly more electro-y version of The Shins. i mean, they both have got the same thing goin', but Rogue Wave are doin' their own thing. both bands write intelligent, witty lyrics. though Rogue Wave, while reminding me of The Shins, are NOT a carbon copy. they are another Sub Pop band. but they just rule. this show will be fairly uncrowded, too. i haven't seen 'em live yet but they are totally awesome on recording.
oh, my brother did, and said they ruled.
i am surprised that nobody else on these boards has chimed in yet...
-
Well, basically unless it's Oasis, Interpol, or Hootie you're not gonna get much of a stir here. ;)
-
I'll chime in. I think the Shins are far superior to Rogue Wave.
I also think it sucks that Rogue Wave is going to be opening on the Nada Surf tour. That's going to make what promised to be a crowded small venue even more crowded.

oh man! though, as much as i hate to say it, that sounds like one hell of a good lineup. so the Shins are better than Rogue Wave; but you still are a fan, correct? are you coming to the show?
i just think i'm going to be really disappointed if there are, like, four people there. i think this band is really great. and yes, i did just say it. great. and i meant it, too.
-
When is this show again? It's a busy week next week, but I've heard from a few folks R.W. are worth checking out.
-
Yeah, perhaps I'll pop by. Will you buy me my ticket?
-
i would (suckah!!!), except i'm already paying for my brother for his birthday/he loves rogue wave and is pretty broke right now...
the only person i ever let pimp crac--TICKETS off of me is the one i love most dearly, of blood relation.
its next Saturday night
-
I was thinking of popping by the Wag that night anyway, so perhaps I'll do both, if I can kick this damn flu :(
-
good boy!
feel better...
-
The band opening for Rogue Wave, Mazarin, is UTTERLY FANTASTIC. If I decide to go to the show, it'll be 70% just for me to see Mazarin. Someone said the Shins most totally changed their vida. (Spanlish en la casa.) Well, let me just say that Mazarin certainly enriched mine for the better as well. If you're debating whether not to go to the show, just go and say you did it for Mazarin!

As the resident porn connosieur, I have to applaud and commend your efforts to date the resident 15 year old girl. That sort of thing - right up my alley. But, my friend, to try and get her to pay... bold, dear Doctor, bold. Hats off to you!
And by "hats off," I mean ride her bare-back.
-
i'm definitely going to be there for mazarin, saw them two weeks ago in austin, they're worth it on their own (tho I really dig Rogue Wave too)
-
OK, I'm sold on it. Think it will sell out? I'd rather not have to pay TicketMaster fees to purchase it in advance and I won't be near the club before the show.

i'm not buying in advance. i doubt it will sell out...and if it does, we can cry outside the club together. i'm very tight on cash right now (hint: Moschino gloves may be a nice gift for your best bud for christmas, but they leave your wallet dead), so anywhere i can save i am doing so. i guess we'll just get to the club as early as i can drag our asses out of the house, and pray it won't sell out. all i know is that, rogue wave was here about two months ago and they played BACKSTAGE at the cat and i'm pretty sure that did not sell out. but it might have.

Yeah, but my Kung-Fu (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6739710473912337648) is way better than yours.

Anyone think this one is selling out? We won't get to the club until 11:30ish...
-
I don't think it will sell out.
I went to the RW/Fruit Bats show at the Back Bar a couple months ago and I am pretty sure that it didn't sell out. Additionally, I was under the impression that most of the crowd was there to see the Fruit Bats as the room was only half full by the end of RW's set.
They were great live and I love the new album...wish I could go.
-
To get back to the original topic of this post, I've been listening to Rogue Wave without even knowing it... one of their songs, "Publish My Love," has been on my Itunes rotation thanks to a Sub-Pop podcast... I just happened to notice who it was yesterday. It's a good song...
-
I unfortunately can't go to this one, either. Wish I could. Bags, I would call/email the club. Rogue Wave has been getting a lot of buzz lately and it's a Saturday night. You never know...
-
haha, and a triple bill at the cat on a saturday night? i'm going to be home laaate.
yeah, mom won't be too pleased about that... :roll:

This was a very good show from start to finish. I was pleasantly surprised by (The Sounds of) Kaleidoscope. They started very strong. After a while, their sound wore a little thin, but, overall, very good. Their songs could use a few more hooks, I think. I might have liked Kaleidoscope more than Mazarin even. Mazarin played exceptionally well, but I didn't care for the lead singer's vocals much. They finished their set really strong though. I was getting kind of tired during Mazarin, but Rogue Wave woke me up immediately. Excellent vocals, nice sound, played very well, and they looked like they were having fun. I'm their newest fan.
-
i'm glad you had a good time!
at approximately 7:35 last night, at the chance of freezing rain, my parents decided that i couldn't go. i just got straight a's, and i'm kind of pissed that i work so hard and they still don't let me do the one thing that i like to do. whatever. i'll be at the black cat in two weeks, whether they like it or not. this is starting to get ridiculous.
-
k'scope was very good, as always. this was an especially noisy set. most of their songs do have hooks, they just decided to focus on the noise for whatever reason last nite.
i was a bit disappointed w/mazarin. i really like their most recent record, but it just seemed a bit flat last nite. i know they had to cancel their previous two performances due to a death, so that could be a pretty good explanation. before their last couple songs the lead singer said something along the lines of "here's the part where we get noisier" and those sounded pretty good. but i thought that sounds of did the same sort of thing, just a bit better.
i didn't stick around for rogue wave. saw them open for ac "alfred e." newman (good one, rhett) last summer and felt that seeing them once was enough. i mean, they're ok, it's pleasant and inoffensive and mildly sentimental. i thought the city paper did a pretty good job with them in its review this week. lord knows there are plenty worse bands, but i wanted to watch the end of the clippers/cavs game.

That sucks. I was actually looking forward to hearing about the show from you, since you were so psyched, even though I'm not a Rogue Wave fan (have listened, don't really enjoy them). But in reading this thread throughout the week, I had really hoped you would have a good time.
On the big picture bright side - which sucks to think about in the moment, but is true - you have many more years ahead of you to see shows. When you're old and ragged like many of us, these times you're experiencing now will just be cocktail party chatter ("When I was 15, my parents wouldn't even let me....").

For anyone who occasionally feels nostalgic about their teenage years, this sentence is something to reflect upon!

You're 15. I think it's kind of ridiculous that you apparently strive for straight A's simply as a bargaining tactic with your parents. Sorry, I know that's preachy, but I find your rants about what you have a 'right' to do, like staying out after 1:00 a.m. on a Saturday night, a bit too much. I know I've said it before -- I can empathize, I've always been a huge music fan, but you have YEARS and YEARS and HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of shows to see.
The straight A's, hopefully, will be most useful in allowing you to get in to the college of your choice.

i'm not striving for the straight a's as a bargaining tactic...that happened ONCE (at my parents request :cool: ). i strive to get the best grades possible, because i kind of want to go to Brown. additionally, it makes my mom really, really happy when i get straight A's. overall, i try so hard in school to please my parents, and i'm not a bad kid. what bothers me is the fact that i am doing, for them, what they want me to do; yet they won't just let me go to shows. make sense? i know it's not the end of the world, and i realize that RW will be back...i just sometimes feel like i bust my butt for no reason whatsoever. i really wasn't trying to rant...

I understand where you're coming from, but doing well in school is not reason enough for parents to let a 'good kid' do things which may be unsafe or not age appropriate.

yay! well let's hope it's on a friday or saturday night, then.
haven't we already established, also, that it is not unsafe?

Safe in terms of being shot outside the 9:30 Club or Black Cat is one thing. Wanting my 15-year old down on 14th Street at 1:30 in the morning is another...

Going to shows is neither unsafe nor age-inappropriate. Unless you're hanging out at the Ibex Club. Her parents should be thankful she wants to do something interesting with her teen years, rather than spend it in a drunken stupor passed out on various couches at suburban keggers.
Seriously, people treat their kids like babies, overgrown babies is what they'll get.

THANK YOU!
Um, I'd probably be better off hanging around a crackhouse in the area of the 9:30 club than going out with some of the typical kids at my school. I don't even smoke at shows!!

Dear Betty,
How much rent are you paying to live in that nice house in Bethesda? And how much do you contribute to the grocery bill? If the answer is none, then you are seemingly in a normal parent-child relationship. And in such a relationship, the parent is entitled to make decisions that they see are in your and their best interest and that bring them some peace of mind at 1:30 in the morning. And you, being thankful that they provide you with a nice roof over your head and nice food to eat, should be respectful of the decisions they make. Constantly calling them out for their decisions on internet chat boards is not a sign of respect. Rather than sounding grateful and gracious for all that they do for you, you end up sounding like a whiny JAP. Your insightful input regarding music and other topics is most welcome, but your continued whinyness about your parents has grown...tiresome.
Furthermore, being able to go to shows at rock clubs when you're 15 is not an entitlement. The fact that you're able to do so makes you luckier than 98% of the 15 year olds of the world...most kids that age don't live anywhere near a rock club so it's not even an option. Among those who do, I would imagine a significant percent of them have curfews that would prevent such late night activity. So feel fortunate that your parents have provided you with a life that lets you go to rock clubs at all.
Your pal,
Rhett.

true. but she is 15, that's what 15 year olds do. if they were mature and acted respectful etc at that age then adolescence would be no more or more accurately perhaps such behavior would just be shifted to younger years, only a relative difference. the change in adolesecence is the learning to challenge test ones boundaries and new found abilities. it is only normal. somehwere a kid in afghanistan, let's call him Ali-baba, is bitching to his 'rents about the new rock he found on the roadside he's not allowed to play with b/c it's evil and a symbol of the infidel, and, if he's not careful could get him/her pregnant. it's the same everywhere i would say -- just different. luckily we here in the usa/west are materially fortunate enuf to remain children til death. ours is culture of whining babies [so u can hardly blame just her]... "wahhhh i want to buy an suv or 2 or 3 cuz i hav kids and they wont fit in a Taurus wagon bc they r too fat from sitting on their ass 24/7

I guess this is why my wife will be happy to have a baby but not a teenager. :)
And a good parent won't cave in and let the children run the home.

What does this mean? Does Betty know Yoko Ono?

i do; i didn't find it very funny. i would like to ask you all to please not lump me in with every other snobbish kid in bethesda.

went to this show just to see mazarin and sounds of kaleidoscope, but was curious about rogue wave. i found them utterly, terribly boring. i guess they're just not "my thing."
