Are those reviews of the show with or without the backing band?

I really, really wish I could make it to M83 but that's impossible for me.   :(  
 
 BUT, I will be at the Swervedriver show. Can't wait for this!
 
 BTW, when did Snail join Swervedriver?

sorry -- been busy all day! but youll be happy to know for all of a few seconds i thought of you and what youd be missing. the presets were just brilliant. its hard to realize how just 2 guys can make music so f'ing great. the drummer is quite cool - plays some of the stuff standing up and plays keyboards on a few songs. the lead singer is just awesome. he was wearing this bright neon pink jacket with a shirt with lip prints on it (all in hot pink). under the lights it looked glowing. When he wasnt playing the keyboards he was dancing up a storm.
 
 The place felt like webster hall (as in it was the first time i felt the floor moving). everyone was dancing - Im pretty sure it was impossible not to. The new songs sound brilliant live. Ive not stopped listening to them. I met a photographer at the show and I know he got some incredible pictures. Im not sure when hes posting them - but you may wanna check out www.santiagofelipe.com (http://www.santiagofelipe.com) (if rob (sal_paradise) is reading this- the guy totally reminds me of you - even from where you are)... btw Rob - where the F were you last night??
 
 Ill post some of my pics when I can.
 
 And Walter Meego - 3 guys from Chicago were brilliant openers. they were a nice complement. i highly recommend checking them out. the only complaint i had was that their myspace page had much more dance-y tracks. they slowed it up a bit last night, but regardless they were good. The keyboardist was a bit spastic (rather like the guy in the presets), so i could see how they were together.
 
 anyway - if you can get to philly you owe it to yourself to see them. im kicking myself for not seeing them in brooklyn. i should have seen M83 earlier (ie at music hall) - then 2 nights of the presets. ah well. win some, lose some.
 
 either way - it was kinda like when i walked out of digitalism. digustingly sweaty and hotter than hell, but you couldnt wipe the smile off my face. i was going to hit the after party - but i was dead tired from being up way early for an interview (for a job i didnt even get  :(  )

The Wacos rocked the house last night, as they always do. A good career-retrospective setlist, plenty of political witticisms & hilarious commentary from Langford and some fine revved-up boozy covers for the encore. You shoulda gone.

I think they opened for Hot Chip at the club. They were bloody awful. From what I remember, it was a two piece "band" with most of the music prerecorded. It's terrible electronic music.

Alejandro will be bringing his own opening act, but we don't know who it is yet. I doubt it'll be the Wacos, but that would be a great combo!
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: snailhook on June 07, 2008, 06:10:00 am
the waco brothers were kicking it ten years ago, kicking it now, and will be kicking it in ten years. the presets will be remembered in two years only by those who scour budget used cd bins.

Julie Ocean were shafted by the soundman at Iota last night. Muddy sound, fuzzy vocals - just horrible
 
 Yell County (the headliner) were a pleasant surprise, balls to the wall rock and roll - echoes of Sabbath and  Wolfmother with a little Black Keys-ish blues thrown in and a light dusting of southern rock.....topped off with the most amazing and entertaining drummers I have seen in manys the year!

Jamie Lidell's show last night will be one of the best this year AND one of the best I've seen at the club. He was just sooooooooo amazing.
 
 Jennifer O'Connor opened. Great set as well. She's way underrated and underappreciated.

Yes. One of my favorite shows this year as well. Even better than the black cat show in '06. Right up there with Carla Bozulich but for different reasons, obviously. I thought Jennifer O'Connor was bland and slightly boring, though

Battles were alright. They kinda bored me, except for the song Atlas. It's good to know who I can skip at Lolla.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: azaghal1981 on June 15, 2008, 11:40:00 am
Battles were exactly what I expected since they played the exact same set I saw at the Ottobar a little less than a year ago.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: friarfunk on June 15, 2008, 01:25:00 pm
"All right" is a pretty spot-on assessment of Battles.  The interstitials as they transitioned between songs were pretty bland, though they killed a few of their heavier pieces.  Could have done a lot more with lighting; Boredoms and Animal Collective set pretty high standards for visuals + music at the club, and this was a disappointingly plain presentation.

Leave it to fratboys to combine crowd-surfing groping with extreme sports. Maybe the CCRG should hire that guy.

I was there as well, the new ruleset seemed to change the game quite a bit.  Would having a roller girl fall in your lap really bad all that bad though?? (the grabbing bit would be creepy, I agree)

uh, having 150 lbs of anything land on top of you at that speed will probably have you thinking about things other than groping... i could be wrong tho.

im a volunteer at summerstage. no lines for me. as of 1pm the line was already to 66th. a good chunk of the line never got into the show. once the rain came and people started leaving - more people were allowed in for Vampire Weekend.
 
 and i also knew if i went to see them, to be in line way early. ive been to enough summerstage shows. 3:30... now thats a laugh.
 
 it was beyond wet there. lightning/thunder killed a chunk of the born ruffians set. i met the guy that heads up the central park conservancy (including summerstage) -- way cool. i was dry most the time as I worked the VIP area until i found some friends of mine and got soaked.
 
 it was just a mess and seeing people beyond soaking wet - while most of us were relatively dry was somewhat f-ed up. i guess thats what you get when you pay lots of money -- a place to stay dry  :)

i actually did announce it in the just announced thread a few months ago when it was, y'know, just announced. but it was probably quickly buried by something more important, like xneverwherex announcing a show by some band that nobody will care about in 3 weeks at some random venue in new york.

you, my friend, are a fucking genius. obviously - The Faint (which I posted about in May) which clearly had a DC date - and mention of Rob Dickinson (of the Catherine Wheel) specifically for bearman - is listing bands that are f'ing unknown.
 
 im sorry that the faint is some hugely popular band from nebraska that missed your radar. if you ever properly read the thread/posts - you would notice that our dear friend sweetcell posts a bunch of shows in nyc.
 
 on the otherhand, you are right. in threads titled 'this week rollcall' which you are posting in - but you probably didnt take the time to read it - i post what i am seeing. yes - i see a lot of british bands that prob will never make it in the states at some small clubs. and yes, i announce occasional shows that i think some people here might like so theyre aware of whats going on up here. (ive announced 2 shows on the just announced thread in over a month... so please get your facts straight - i HATE liars and more importantly assholes!)
 
 and in general - i DO NOT post shows that only play NYC. I see no point unless i know some folks here might be interested in it.
 
 sorry to take up precious space on a board by posting shows in the correct thread and contributing!
 
 and thanks julian for calling me a bitch!

Well, I thank you for bringing your concern to my attention. If there's anything we pride ourselves on here at Certified WEBLEBRITY, LLC, it's sensitivity to our constituents feelings. Allow me to assure you, our use of the colloquialism "bitch" was not intended as an insult to the women of this board, as xneverwherex is not a female to the best of my knowledge. Rather, we were using "bitch" in the way Tina Fey used it to designated a "smart, sassy woman who gets things done." And, again, while xneverwherex is not a female (to the best of my knowledge), their insipid posting of out-of-town shows virtually no one cares about encapsulates that zeitgeist of bitchy insouciance   that defines the modern "bitch."
 
 So again to clarify, and in summation, I am pro-women and anyone who wants to classify being likened to a woman as a negative comparison is the real sexist. And we have no place for such small-minded hate speech on this board.

and again - please point out ON THE CORRECT THREAD - about my insipid posting of out of town shows. as i said again - the correct thread. the thread we are in now is NOT the correct thread. this is called 'this week rollcall'. this is what I AM SEEING this week! what do you care about who/what i see. last i checked most people see bands in places other than DC.
 
 and please - do not point out things like the faint - this included DC dates. ill start you out 'rob dickinson of the catherine wheel' at mercury lounge. now you show me all the other ones, because honestly, id like to see them all. i dont have time for this - but apparently all of you have way too much time on your hands. or you do not know how to read and have not yet figured out this is not titled 'just announced'!  
 
 and for the record - I AM A FEMALE! and i take offense to being called a bitch.

Then for the record I apologize. I did not know you were a female, and I was not intending the word to be used as a slur for women, but rather the more generalized watered-down insult most people use the word as at current. (Similarly, if someone calls another person a "bastard," 99% of the time, they are not making implications about the person's parent's marital status at the time of conception.) Had I known you were female, I would not have used it.
 
 Also, further for the record, I have been completely taking the piss in this thread today, and nothing I've said -- with the exception of this post, and the second half of my last post -- was at all intended to be taken as anything more then internet jocularity.

i'm not typically called a 'pink taco' on the board except by like one person and its a joke that stemmed from a username I MADE FOR MYSELF.
 
 well jaron, it is different because YOU CALLED A WOMAN A BITCH IN  DEROGATORY MANNER. and someone who is very obviously a woman on this board. how you can say you didn't know is unknown to me. you weren't saying someone was being 'bitchy'... you actually called a woman a bitch. which is wherein i find the problem.
 
 but if you stand by the fact that you did not know she was a woman, whatever.

How am I supposed to know who are male and female on a messageboard? Unless someone has "Miss" in their username, or I know them personally, or their username has their actual name in it, I have no clue what gender people are. I guess I missed the day we all posted headshots on here. Of the regulars, I can only think of yourself, Bags, Celeste, and Jaguar who I know are female off the top of my head. I honestly always thought xneverwherex was a guy. I have no real reason for believing that, except I guess I assume most people on internet messageboards are male, right or wrong.
 
 Additionally, I have no problem with their posting NYC shows. I can't say I ever noticed. I just thought it was hilarious someone went out of their way to call someone else out on it, when it was clearly going to start drama. Additionally additionally, my line was stolen from Family Guy, and if I remember the episode correctly, the baby said it to the dog, who was male.
 
 I was clearly joking to begin with, and I apologized when I found offense was taken because they are, in fact, female. What more do you want? I think you've been around long enough to know if I actually had a problem with xneverwherex and meant it to be offensive that I'm not the type of person to do an about face because it ruffled 2-3 people's feathers.

Yes, as I said, anyone with their name as their username is obvious. Sorry I do not have a photographic memory of every regular poster on here so I can recap who I think is male and who I think is female.
 
 My point remains: it's an internet messageboard. Some people have ambiguous names. There is nothing about the moniker xneverwherex that lets me know male or female. I don't see why it's so hard to believe that I could be mistaken on someone's gender who I've never talked to personally, met, nor seen a picture of.

I just don't understand this sudden, raging hostility towards me over an innocent mistake. It's like someone asked if you all "wanted a pound of flesh with that shake" and you all said yes.    :(
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: vansmack on June 17, 2008, 01:35:00 pm
Let's see.
 
 First you were rude to a female member of our board.  We defend the ladies here.  Sure, you made an innocent mistake (how you made this, I'm still not sure), but even then, your first attempt at an apology was weak at best.
 
 Then you used someone's real name.  MAJOR faux paux.
 
 Then, you insulted one of my cherished nicknames for a member of this board.  A nickname that I only use in the most endearing moments.
 
 I think people are done being upset with you (well, maybe everybody but xneverwherex), but if you think we're just going to forget about this, well, that's not really what this board is all about.  
 
 So take your poison for a few more hours and suck it up.  Plus, and I'm not speaking for everyone else, but I am really bored today and find this quite entertaining.

So you're saying I should ban MissP and xneverwherex for being insolent and hack both of their email accounts? I don't really have the authority to do that on here and I think it would only exacerbate the situation, but you're digging deep in the Julian playbook and I like that, and always appreciate any suggestions.

I'm a little late to the party, but here's my three cents.
 
 It aint derogatory if it can be proven to be true.
 
 Can we prove or disprove the assertion?

But "bitch", which is so watered down in this day and age, and rarely, if ever, used for the objectification of your gender at this point, is offensive to you. How do you rectify those two positions? [/b]
i'm not typically called a 'pink taco' on the board except by like one person and its a joke that stemmed from a username I MADE FOR MYSELF.
 
 well jaron, it is different because YOU CALLED A WOMAN A BITCH IN  DEROGATORY MANNER. and someone who is very obviously a woman on this board. how you can say you didn't know is unknown to me. you weren't saying someone was being 'bitchy'... you actually called a woman a bitch. which is wherein i find the problem.
 
 but if you stand by the fact that you did not know she was a woman, whatever. [/b]

I'm going to go with the fact that it was written with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not seeing as how Julian didn't even know what gender xneverwherex was.
 
 However, having met xneverwherex on more than one occassion, it is false.

there is also Greer Zeller, or whatever weird nick El Tee is using these days (where is that girl?).  occasional poster "sister" is female too... although all this outing of females is a bad idea, it can only limit future blow-ups associated with the inadvertent use of the term "bitch"   :D
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface on June 17, 2008, 04:47:00 pm
I was also unaware Kurosawa or Greer Zeller were female either. Perhaps, in retrospect, my true downfall is in being so non-sexist -- so gender-blind, if you will -- that I am unable to determine the gender of people I am talking to. And that is one shortcoming I will make no apologies for.

damn i should have showed up there to see if there were extra tix. tried to get tix to see them tonight at the MOMA but that didnt pan out either. but since my order went through (but then somehow was denied getting tix) i did end up with free passes to the moma.

fyi, there weren't any.  there were, however, several dozen people standing outside the venue asking for tickets - on top of the scalpers asking for extras.  chances of getting an extra at cost were very very low.

Gender blind you're calling it now?
 
 Even though your first defense for calling her a bitch was "what's the big deal, xneverwherex is not a female"?
 
 That's not gender blind.  You assumed they were all male, not asexual.  That's pretty sexist if you ask me.  Why didn't you assume they were all female?

I think most people would agree that on the average internet messageboard, there are more males then females, particularly among those who would qualify as "regular" posters of a messageboard. That being the case, if one assumes every unknown user is a male, they mathematically would be more accurate then taking the opposite approach. It's statistical.

It's a very nice venue, although I warn you, the sound is MUCH better in the balcony or mezzanine then the orchestra pit, particularly the vocals.

I assume every new poster is a female that wants to sleep with me until I hear/read differently.

You know this isn't a viable argument. For every S&TC or feminist messageboard there are 800 Battlestar Nerdtacula messageboards.
 
 And I have every season of S&TC on DVD.

I don't know.  When I was walking out of Indiana Jones on the opening weekend of Sex and the City, I was thinking to myself, maybe I missed the boat on not pretending I was interested in Sex and the City.  There were quite a few attractive and desperate groups  of females there that might have found my act of pretending to be interested in what's bothering them rather charming.  I'm sure someone else has been capitalizing on this for some time now.

You see.  The same gross generalizations.  Where does it end with you?
 
 There are hundreds of thousands of unique ladies on those S&TC message boards.
 
 But there's 100 Battlestar Nerdtacula's users on 800 different message boards with 14 different user names each so the conversation never ends...

Yes, I am female (go figure!), and I find nothing insulting about the word "bitch."  It's...a word.  And it was used as a joke.  Yeah...failing to see how that upset people.
 
 I am, however, offended by the term "Battlestar Nerdtacula."

I AM turning into a huge baby.  I have no problem going to the BC or 9:30 alone, but I've been to both places many times.  Going somewhere alone for the first time is a different story, let alone a place I've been warned about.  I've been to a lot of shady places by myself but I'm trying to be better with that, as I've had some bad experiences this year, soooo...I am turning into a bit of a tiny wussy girl.
 
 Plus deciding between which show I want to see.  The last time I saw the Warlocks, years and years ago, I walked out cause I thought they sucked.  However I saw Bella Morte recently and though I'm not crazy about the music, they RAWKED.

I was just thinking to myself at the Times New Viking show that there are plenty more white folks in that area now than when it first opened.  Plus, that article in last week's Post about how happening the area is will probably make it much safer.  
 
 Really, it's no better or worse than the 9:30's neighborhood, although there's more people on the street which I equate with "safer."

I saw the Brides at the Black Cat.  Great band and you're right, every time I've seen them, they've always put on a fantastic show.  New songs sound good too.

It's called Orb Fest and The Orb aren't playing? That's a little misleading.

Im now seeing this show on Saturday night and cant wait to see Mr Albarn again.
 
 Damon Albarn & The Honest Jons Revue at Avery Fisher Hall
 Featuring Tony Allen, Afel Bocoum, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Kokanko Sata, Candi Staton, Lobi Traore, Simone White, Victoria Williams and Damon Albarn.
 
 The hippest world-music label going. Entertainment Weekly on Honest Jons
 
 These wonderfully diverse artists have one thing in common: theyve all recorded for the independent London-based label Honest Jons. Damon Albarn, best known from his days as Blurs frontman and the wildly successful virtual band Gorillaz, co-founded the Honest Jons label with the landmark record shop. Since its first release, Mali Music, featuring Albarn and Ali Farka Toure sideman Afel Bocoum, Honest Jons has specialized in music that breathes a similar attitude no matter how disparate it may seem from the magical Malian blues of Lobi Traore to the blazing brass of the Hypnotics.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: azaghal1981 on July 13, 2008, 02:34:00 pm
How was the Albarn thing?
 
 
 This week:
 
 
 Maybe Kohoutek tuesday
 Whartscape thursday
 611 farewell (?) show friday
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: xneverwherex on July 13, 2008, 04:56:00 pm
Damon Albarn and The Honest Jon's Revue was absolutely incredible. The sound at Avery Fisher Hall is one more places need to emulate (granted this is Lincoln Center and the Philharmonic does play here). Damon was more in the background for most of the songs - sometimes adding on keys, singing in the background, dancing, jumping around and all around supporting the artists (which is now clear its like one huge family). Simon Tong was playing as well along with Tony Allen. Tony was amazing (I never saw TGTBTQ play) and really skilled (understatement of the year).
 
 Damon sang on the final song and his voice has held up, sounding more beautiful than ever before (I believe a song from Mali Music was played). All I can say is - Oxfam might have been the best thing he ever decided to do by having them get him down to Mali). The Honest Jon label has such a diverse talent. The real stand out was The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. Family members were sitting behind me - so our area was incredibly loud and people were really into - but my god these guys are talented. Candi Staton had an amazing voice and she got the crowd clapping and singing along with her.
 
 But most importantly, the artists from Mali and the African artists really made this show what it was. Im just glad I had a chance to see it. As someone noted, hes becoming London's answer to David Byrne.  
 
 And I dont know if its just me and people Im meeting lately, but it seems Afrobeat is so popular these days. Summerstage had a day full of Afrobeat artists, now this and countless other things. Perhaps its really my awareness of it all that has changed (and i guarantee its for the better). theres only so many indie/hipster bands one can take  ;)

If I have wireless reception, I can work. Therefore, I can travel and see all the fucking shows I want.
 
 Anyway, wow, there were definitely some changes I made to what I posted a week ago. I missed St. Vincent and the Brazilian Girls, went to Beth Orton instead of Bon Jovi, and apparently I made the right decision, cause Bon Jovi suuuuuuucked. Also, the Breeders/Whip/Matt and Kim show today at McCarren Pool was one of my favorite shows of the year. Top ten, definitely.

you should have gone to bowery to catch back door slam. was one of the best shows ive seen in a long time. leaving the club i overhead some older men talking (crowd was relatively older) saying something like 'i love blues music, and i swear that this kid is the best thing ive ever seen in my entire life' - in reference to davy's vocals and guitars. played covers from CSNY, Robert Cray and the list goes on.
 
 cant make the boris yeltsins tonight. its ok as i caught them a month or so ago at mercury.
 
 a hawk and a hacksaw were good. le poisson rouge is quite the nice, new club. lots of dancing going on as they played and i felt like i was in some eastern european country. lots of dialogue about new mexico. after about 45 minutes tho the music blended together and I found myself a bit bored. It seems on their myspace page they had a bit more vocals in their music (i could be wrong, just what i thought i remembered), which didnt happen live. Regardless, thanks to wordless music series i got into the show for free.
 
 it was fun and entertaining tho. id highly recommend going to le poisson rouge for shows. the sound is great! besides the heart of the village is never a bad place to be.

betty - did you make the show? it was pretty good albeit the boris yeltsins set seemed very short at 40 mins. Really liked Ha Ha Tonka. The first band - well hopefully I wont be seeing them anytime soon. I was close to falling asleep.
 
 And best yet, drink specials till 9pm will def be getting there early. $3 for my drinks was a sweet deal!

yeah, i did!  but i was up front shooting.  i was going to go look for you but i didn't end up getting to the club till like 9:40 ish...Ha Ha Tonka were really fun, and SSLYBY were great but their set was way too short.  everyone was dancing up a storm so it was super fun.  
 check out photos + interview on brightest young things some time tomorrow...
 
 also went to ted leo tonight, which kicked ass.

i had a feeling it might be you, but i wasnt sure and as i had said - someone tried to take your spot and then i couldnt remember whose spot i was watching. the whole thing was weird and i must have seemed pretty ditzy. anyway - was cool meeting you if even for a second and not really knowing who the other was.
 
 im usually near the front (if not very front) so if youre ever alone and see me up there and need someone to watch your space - just ask  :)

black crowes at wolfie on sunday.  my last show for a long time.  might even just skip it, give my fifth row seat to a luck of the draw parking lot scowler and go eat at amphora in vienna.  god i love that restaurant, and i've seen the crowes so many times, they might be all boring now.  especially since i gave my drugged filled soul back to the devil.

 Wednesday:
 Either Vivian Girls or The Ex (with that pretty sick horns section).

 Considering a weekend in NYC centered around either Tony Conrad/Metro Area/Kelley Polar or Battles/Black Dice/Gang Gang Dance (most likely the latter since Tony Conrad is playing in Baltimore soon).

Hold Steady were great....much better than last time at the club

I caught the last 5 songs of Thao (25 minutes). LOVED the longer version of "Fear and Convenience" as well as "Feet Asleep".
 
 Agreed about Hold Steady. "Slapped Actress" was my fave tonite.

Post by: azaghal1981 on August 24, 2008, 11:10:00 am
From the way they were playing and interacting with each other between songs, it felt like they were trying to dick around with/frustrate the crowd for the entirety of their set. Last I checked, yes they do a lot of improvisational stuff but they never came off to me as a jamband. There's a fine line between the two. This shit they played last night sounded like something you'd hear at the state theatre. There was even one moment between songs where one of them said "I was trying to explain what we sounded like to this guy earlier tonight. I made a big mistake by not telling him that we sound like a jamband...like Widespread Panic or something." It just felt like a running joke between the band the whole time they were up there. Yeah it was funny but at the same time, it was frustrating and confusing as hell. I thought maybe we'd hear a chunk of Preteen Weaponry (their new, mostly improvised but interesting album) and some older stuff but this was all unreleased material (none of it was anything I'd heard, anyway) that sounded like it was purposefully played badly.

Oof...I skipped last night because I sort of expected a full set of just Preteen Weaponry material.  Not that the new album is bad (because it's not)...I just couldn't imagine them playing any other material except maybe a short encore of older stuff.  Sounds to me like I made a wise decision.  At least the last Warehouse show (night of the ill-fated Sleater-Kinney show) killed it.  Oh well.

This shit they played last night sounded like something you'd hear at the state theatre. There was even one moment between songs where one of them said "I was trying to explain what we sounded like to this guy earlier tonight. I made a big mistake by not telling him that we sound like a jamband...like Widespread Panic or something." It just felt like a running joke between the band the whole time they were up there. Yeah it was funny but at the same time, it was frustrating and confusing as hell. I thought maybe we'd hear a chunk of Preteen Weaponry (their new, mostly improvised but interesting album) and some older stuff but this was all unreleased material (none of it was anything I'd heard, anyway) that sounded like it was purposefully played badly. It ended with this drums/keyboards duel that went absolutely nowhere for 15-20 minutes.

On second thought, it wasn't all unreleased material; I think there may have been stuff from Secret Wars and Happy New Year played but 90% of it was definitely stuff I've never heard which was steeped in jambandiness.
 
 
 I just read a review from a show that they played last week which featured Preteen Weaponry in its entirety.
 
 Now I'm even more bitter; that would've been awesome to have heard last night.

I shall be doing my best to see Rasputina tonight at the Ottobar, and then again tomorrow night at the Black Cat.  We'll see, as Tuesday is my VERY first day of college and tomorrow is my get-everything-done-before-first-day-of-school day (who's buying me a drink?).  God grant me energy, I seem so ill-fated when it comes to Rasputina.

 Saturday:
 Liam Finn/the Veils at RNR Hotel

I got robbed $14. The Veils were supposed to play for an hour, but played 30 minutes instead.
 
 Liam Finn definitely needs a full band. But ya know, some musicians want to show us that they can play more than one instrument. So here's Liam stretching his 3 minute song into 6 minutes by playing the guitar parts first, then the drum parts...it is so pretentious. I left after 4 songs. Oh, I couldn't stand the female singer either. She didn't really help...

You just saved me quite a bit of typing. Couldn't have said it better myself. My friends all agreed that the Veils blew Liam off the stage, and that the Veils should have played twice as long as they did. I left a few songs after you did.
 
 The Beatles Birthday song was especially cheesy.
 
 And I'm saying this as a big fan of Liam's cd.

My guess (hope?) is they'll do the EP plus a bunch of other stuff.  The last time they played, they did a pretty decent set.

jeez, some people are hard to please! While I went primarily for The Veils and thought they were amazing and was a little dissapointed they only played for 30 minutes I was pleasantly surprised by Liam Finn whose stuff I was not familiar with - the looping etc did not bother me, kind of struck me as Andrew Bird with attitude - for me it was great to see someone having so much fun up there and I thought his energy was infectious
 
 still think it was $14 well spent

Perhaps the fact that you were'nt familiar with Liam's material made you more open-minded to the performance you saw.
 
 For me, he took what is a very good pop album (most likely on my year end top 10 list), and turned them into a bunch of wanky guitar and drum solos. I can understand that some people appreciate the latter (I don't), but I went hoping for the former.

As my friend asked, "Would it kill him to have a band?" and "How does the drum know when to come in like that?"
 
 I'm fine with a band using little blips and bleeps from a laptop, but when the lead guitar part or the drums aren't being played by a human (and there's a second person on stage doing nothing but banging a cymbal and singing backing vocals, and two roadies sitting on the side of the stage doing nothing...can't they be in the band?), it's rather diconcerting to watch.
 
 But the Eddie Vedder crowd he won over seemed to eat it right up.

If he's more comfortable up there reproducing the music by himself and is able to do so with the help of technology, I don't see what the big deal is. He's just using the laptop/delay pedal/whatever he uses for the looping as another musical instrument. It's not like he's hitting "play" on a cd player or an Ipod and playing/singing along. If memory serves, you weren't all that crazy about Jens Lekman using a DJ to produce all the samples in his live show. I guess I can see why looping would bother you if that did.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: Relaxer on September 08, 2008, 09:03:00 am
I gotta say that looping drives me nuts in 80% of shows where I see it. A live show should be about what the band can produce together on-stage in real-time. Having canned guitar parts is cheating -- if you need another guitar, get another guitarist. Or, figure out a way to play the song without the tapes. I remember a Stereophonics show a few years ago where almost all of the most interesting guitar parts, including some of the solos, were totally canned and the singer/guitarist was just playing strum rhythms. That's weak.

Sounds like The Veils had a really great show. I saw them last week (not sure if it was before/after that show - on thursday night) and Finn was having a really bad night.
 
 He kept saying how nervous he was that he couldnt even form sentences. He was having issues with the mic the whole night and his hands were terribly shaking. I kept wondering what the hell he took before the show.
 
 He sounded better than ever and I love how emotional he gets when he sings and plays. It just shows on his face. Regardless, Lavinia and their other songs sounded great. Im quite sure we got 45 mins (perhaps more) when he was here.
 
 Didnt stay for much of Liam Finn's set, but he sounded great. Not crazy about the woman he plays with. Alberta Cross playing acoustic made for a great opener.

Caught Dead Heart Bloom at Iota tonight (9/20). Their new stuff rocks harder, but then that's not saying much after Chelsea Diaries, I guess, but they definitely rocked. Played plenty of songs off their first album, including notably "New Messiah." Boris seemed livelier and appeared to be having fun. He's shaved off the Grizzly Adams/Unabomber beard he had the last time I saw them at Iota almost exactly a year ago.
 
   http://deadheartbloom.com/ (http://deadheartbloom.com/)
 
 Was anyone else there tonight? Just curious.

Wanted to go but the 4 hour roundtrip commute and other issues nixed that idea. Glad to hear the show was good though I wouldn't have expected any less. Boris is such a good all around musician. Really wished I could have gone.
 
 On a personal level, good to hear that beard is gone. Then again, I'm just not a big facial hair enthusiast.
 
 To the others: you can legally download all of their works for free on their website. (Buying them would sure help the band.)
 
 Lately, I've been on a big Phaser kick (again) and have uploaded a couple of their tracks to my station. I sure miss Phaser!

bands doing DJ sets can indeed be boring or horrible, but they can also be pretty cool.  i think it's interesting to hear what my favorite musicians think is good music.  sometimes they'll play remixes/alt versions/etc of their own stuff.
 
 and i believe that the "some sorta oasis party thing" would be a listening party for the new oasis album (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dig_Out_Your_Soul).

Sonick, if it's any solace, The Morning After Girls just moved to NYC. Well, most of them. They recently put out a notice that they were looking for additional members to fill the holes. So, once they get all those details into place, odds are, we will see a lot more of them around these parts. At least, I sure hope so!
 
 Xneverwherex, please let me know how Darker My Love and The Upsidedown were. It's really bugging me that I'm missing all 3 of these bands but life sucks like that sometimes. All a good match for each other too.

Hayden was excellent. Too bad very few people attended (maybe 35 people max).
 
 Built to Spill is tomorrow. Too bad it is the same night as the Points CD release at the Black Cat. Really digging their sound.
 
 How was the last Oxford Collapse show? anyone?

Me too! By the way, the opening band for Dead Heart Bloom was the Jackfields, whose lead singer is Mike Reina, also a member of Phaser, as I'm sure you know. Straight up rock/pop. I thought they were OK.

Jag - lets see. its now my 3rd time seeing Darker My Love. I so much wanted to like them (as I was seeing them 3x), but they just dont translate well live. Theyre a bit stiff and way boring. Its a chore just for the singer to announce their band name, but at least in DC he didnt chastise anyone (although no one asked). Their music is fine, and some songs are quite fun and catchy but overall, if I never saw them again Id be quite fine with that.
 
 As far as The Upsidedown - well theyre now on the dandy's label and theyve added more members (a few members from the outcrowd) to the band. Their dandy's like sound is still very present and it seems that most people who saw them enjoyed them. I think their new stuff sounds great live and Im a big fan of their first album. I really enjoyed seeing them again.
 
 But after seeing Courtney for the 3rd time on this tour, well the openers dont even compare. The Dandy Warhols are sounding better than ever. I think this might be one of the best times Ive ever seen them. 2 hour sets that comprise most of their albums (the 1st one is lacking - aside for the occasional "Lou Weed") but its great to hear a good chunk of 13 Tales (my fav album). They've tweaked most their songs a bit, so they all have a new feel to them. I love pete intl spaceport/boys better - the two are amazing together. Courtney also looks better than ever (at least a bit more healthy) and his vocals have never sounded this great.
 
 he was quite chatty last night which was pretty cool. pete always seems off in his own world and zia seems to be doing a lot more these days.
 
 All I can say is 3x is still not enough. I will add tho Darker My Love seemed really excited when they were in Philadelphia and sounded the best then.
 
 the set list has been nearly the same at all shows. Philly had the most songs and we got to hear Minnesoter, Solid, Country Leaver, Orange (which Courtney barely remembered) and some others that Im forgetting.
 
 The regular set list include the following:
 Set:
 Mohammed
 U2BF
 3rd World
 Holden Me Up
 I Love You
 Last High
 Money
 BOHO
 Get Off
 Love Song
 Good Morning
 New New
 Dreamt of Yes
 Burned
 Now You Love Me
 Junky
 Godless
 Wasp
 Trucker
 Pete / Boys
 Country Leaver

I didn't see them open for We Are Scientists, but I did see them open for Freightened Rabbit in the Backstage a couple months back.

Gave some of the Dead Science album a listen last night (or was it two nights ago?). Still on the fence.
 
 Oh wait...Dead Science is Friday isn't it?
 
 I'll be down there already for fleet Foxes so I might as well do both.

I know. I don't have a ticket for Fleet Foxes but not sure I wanted to go anyway after seeing them last time (once is enough with this band I think). I'll go to John Prine, but it's expensive...maybe Dead Science afterwards if I'm not too tired.

Don't pretend like you don't want to see Madge in Jersey! Don't put it all on the missus, there's some Sweetcell love for Madonna!!!

azaghal, why didn't you go to Juan Maclean? Aren't you a fan? It was a great show (they did a super extended version of Happy House, maybe 20 minutes of it). Nancy from LCDSS did vocals. It was quite empty though (maybe less than 30 people in the mainstage) and probably the only chance you'll ever see ixkpd do his diva dance moves out in the open.    :eek:

Of Montreal pissed me off last time with their sloppy playing/heavy reliance on pre-recorded samples as Kevin played dressup the last time I saw them. I'll stick to the studio work, thankyouverymuch.

Plug the DVD into your computer and you can download a bunch of songs from the disc.  Pretty good stuff.

i've seen them both and they are both good, but fucked up will surely be more memorable. also, vivian girls seem like one of those bands where the more i read about them (interviews and such) the less i like them. that pitchfork q&a was awful, man.

Ha...yeah, it was like reading  a teenager's blog.  But then again, they've got to be pretty young, no?  I'd be there if it wasn't my wife's 30th.  Somehow, I'm not sure she'd be into that show...

they're old enough to be covered in tattoos, i know that. seriously, i was not expecting this charming little indie-pop band to be so inked up. it will be interesting to see who has a bigger rack, the bassist from vivian girls of the singer of fucked up.

This completely exceeded my expectations! Janet played for about 2 1/2 hours, 40 songs in the setlist, almost ALL hits. Seriously, everyone in the crowd was going nuts for her, and she gave 110%. Her tickets were half of what Madonna's were, and she played twice as long and was (arguably) the better show.

 APTBS (and maybe Minus the Bear) wednesday
 Lewis Black at College Park thursday
 maybe APTBS in Philly friday

 Magnetic Fields/Shugo Tokumaru sunday
 
 
 Gonna skip both Lykke Li and Fucked Up today.

Lykke Li, Fucked Up
 The New Year/Uglysuit, DMBQ

 The Rosebuds (maybe)
 Magnetic Fields, then Soulwax at Transit (Philly)
 Magnetic Fields - Sunday

Really? I hated the DC show. Let me guess she picked you to go up onstage to get disciplined?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq2w9I31zSI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq2w9I31zSI)
 
 This was her first show back and maybe she was still feeling under the weather. Her dancing was emotionless kind of like an aerobics routine. Her hair and costumes were whoreific.

Yes! Go see this show. Holy moses. They said they'd never played Virginia before so they were going to "make up for it" and they played between 2:45-3:00.
 
 (not in order)
 4 Brendan Canning Songs (including Hit The Wall)
 Farewll To The Pressure Kids
 Fucked Up Kid
 2 Songs From the Other Guy's solo work (including this saxophone/Jamaican woman thing)
 KC Accidental
 Stars And Sons (closer of encore)
 Almost Crimes
 Looks Just Like The Sun
 Pacific Theme
 Anthems
 Cause = Time
 Shampoo Suicide
 Our Faces Split The Coast In Half
 Ibi Dreams
 7/4 Shoreline
 Major Label Debut (main set closer)
 Superconnected
 Fire Eye'd Boy
 It's All Gonna Break
 
 This was the best BSS show I've seen of 3.
Title: Re: This week rollcall

Thanks. Hopefully they will top the Chicago Metro show from this past August. Who did the female vocals? The girl from Land of Talk? Are they selling tour posters?
 
 The last 9:30 club show was 2.5 hours long! (not the bss presents kevin drew, but the one prior with lisa lobsinger doing female vocals)    :D

yeah that bss show was crazy. they played forever but holy hell the concrete floor at toad's killed my legs. this show was much better than 'presents kevin drew' last year at 9:30.
 
 edit- yeah the land of talk girl did the female vocals. she was ok for a stand in...and land of talk was pretty good.

Yes, the girl from Land Of Talk did the female vocals. She was OK, but messed up Anthems. They had a general tour poster for the entire tour and a specific one for Richmond.

The Rosebuds were so much fun! This was the third time I've seen them, but the first time as a headliner and I couldn't imagine having more fun at a concert. It was such a hoot seeing Bearman up on stage and great hanging with Bags as always. I'm digging the new Rosebuds album.
 
 I really enjoyed The Oranges Band, too. I definitely would have bought one or more of their CDs, but I ran out of cash. Next time....

 i'm really psyched about seeing soulwax night versions/2manyDJs this weekend.  i was considering doing both NYC and philly, but looks like i'm going to have to skip tonight's NYC show.  TBD.  anyone else doing a roadtrip?  soulwax night versions was one of my top 3 acts from coachella'07.  amazing stuff, and SOOOOO much fun to dance to.
so where are those pix of bearman on stage?!?
 
 soulwax in philly was really good... and kinda weird.  they had the world series on the giant screen behind the stage, and originally the idea was to start the show at mindnight, after the game should have been over.  but with the 1.5 hour rain delay, teams where still deep in play by the time Late of the Pier took the stage - who insisted on keeping the game on behind them, much to the approval of the crowd.  good band, would definitely check them out again.  soulwax came on and also asked that the game be projected behind them, saying they'd provide the soundtrack.  soulwax cimented their spot in my opinion as the best live+electronic dance act.  not as mind-blowing as coachella but a ton of fun.  the place went ape-shit when the phillies won, predictably enough.  played for an hour, took a break, then came back for a 2manyDJs set (joe, i think you had left - silly boy).  the DJ set was only ok, although that MGMT remix of theirs really kicks on a big sound system.

 Great show.  He defenitely skewed his usual banter/music mix heavily to the music side.  Other than his paranoid delusions about how the CIA was attempting to instigate a terrorist attack before the election, he was surprisingly sedate in his rhetoric.

Caught the Hotel Cafe Tour at the 9:30 Club. I've never been to one of these shows before. I take it they've been doing this for a while, but this was the first year all the featured artists were women. It was like a mini Lilith Fair! All of the artists intermingled, playing a couple songs at a time initially, and then longer 3-4 song sets the second time on stage.
 
 Samantha Crain opened the show. She's the youngest and a little raw. I thought she really found her voice playing solo, and she impressed me with a jawdroppingly good cover of Radiohead's "Creep".
 
 I really adored Jenny Owen Youngs. I just loved her heartfelt songs, and she had the wittiest banter I've come across in quite some time. I ended up buying her CD after the show.
 
 Meiko was also very good. Strong, very personal songwriting.
 
 Most of the audience was there to see Rachael Yamagata. She blew the roof off the club with her first set, but she sadly kind of fell apart in the penultimate set when she tried to fulfill the many shouted requests by performing "Letter Read" clearly without much rehearsal.
 
 Thao Nguyen quite simply stole the show, giving one of the strongest performances of any artist I've seen so far this year. Her catchy, fast tempo, slightly off-kilter songs are a joy. I can't wait until she performs again in our area.

I got the philly ticket before dc was announced.
 
 
 I could've seen Jens in VA and Byrne in DC that weekend if I was a little more patient. Ahh well.
 
 I don't know if it'd be cheaper seeing as Warner tickets are slightly more expensive than tower ones. Transportation will probably cover that difference, though.
 
 
 Guess ixkpd-bk will introduce us at H&LA tonight.

saw the B-52's and H&LA last night in NYC - a great show.  i preferred H&LA's set at the 930 club, but not by much - still got a solid performance last night.  B-52's were pretty awesome.
 
 this week: would like to do deerhunter/TNV, pelican and/or mountain goats, but work has a 99% chance of making all of those shows impossible for me.  might try to catch gutter twins on friday.  saturday is definitely adam west @ DC9 - their last show ever, band is breaking up after this gig.  should be a hoot... and very loud.

Yes, that TMG show was excellent!
 
 
 Way more upbeat than the BC show for obvious reasons.
 
 
 Also really enjoyed Kaki King's acoustic stuff. Wish she played more of it.
 
 
 She got a surprisingly long set. Pretty sure it was as long as the Mountain Goats'.

David Byrne was a mixed bag. TH classics were played to perfection but I still can't get into the new album at all. Tower Theater sound was much boomier than I remember it being the last time I was there.
 
 
 This week:
 Diplo/No Age
 M83
 Brightblack Morning Light
 
 
 Got an M83 extra for anyone who wants one.
 (strongly advised that the Calexico snoozefest is skipped for them   ;)  )

I thought you said M83 > Homosexuals....
 LOL
 
 Yes, it's doable esp. after being unsatisfied with M83.

Is that the Palace Music/Brothers "New Partner"? I'd of died if I'd been there.

The Homosexuals' set was phenominal!
 
 M83 were very good, too. And they couldn't have timed the ending of their set more perfectly. Homosexuals were on five minutes after I got to the Velvet.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: Vas Deferens on November 14, 2008, 11:27:00 am
Calexico last night = amazing! We got "Minas de Cobre" in the encore! Haven't heard that since 2001! New songs sound GREAT, esp. Inspiracion...
 
 Agreed about the Homosexuals set being phenomenal!!!  :p
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: azaghal1981 on November 15, 2008, 01:30:00 pm
Brightblack and Fursaxa were both really good but the Talking Head is an awful venue for both.

Yeah and that show left me slightly underwhelmed, too.
 
 
 They're always so good as an opener though!
 
 
 Maybe it's because they don't play as long and don't overstay their welcome. I dunno.
 
 Wish I could make that Grails show; the recording I have of their Terrastock set is amazing and their new album is one of my favs this year.

didnt make ambulance on friday night.
 
 sondre was really good. he was playing a bunch of new stuff that will be out on his new album. his new ep - pumpkin polaroid party - has some gems (just like lazenby) on it including a random polaroid photo of him and/or his friends that come with each EP. he played a few songs with sylvie lewis (the opener) and she had an amazing voice. so it was a good combo. sondre was quite chatty and since Brooklyn is his new home, he was beyond happy to be playing in new york again.
 
 i had just seen him a few months before in a real small place so i definitely missed the intimacy of it all, but this set was still as great. id love to see him with the faces down one of these days.

At least 3/4 in LA, but the numbers in DC would be lower.

I'll go with just less than 50%.

Do we still run roll call threads?...I'm too shy to start one assuming this thread is sufficient.
Anyhow, any forumites going to Nada Surf? Raise your hand & if you want to meet up post here or in a roll call.
Rhett - if no responses, we can organize offline...wear your forumite pin for recognition. I'll bring samplers and stickers you don't want. ;)

Yeasayer killed it at Sixth and I - one of the best this year for sure. Did anyone else go?

Next week is Jukebox the Ghost (Friday). Maybe the Points on Wednesday at the Velvet.

Saw Mercury Rev/Dean & Britta last night - Dean & Britta started out on a great note until the speakers blew out. it went down hill from then on out.

mercury rev blew my mind away. damn that was incredible.

tues - quite possibly friendly fires
wed - stella (the comedy troupe)
thurs - the morning after girls

and sun - possibly matt & kim if my friend gets me on the guest list

Oh dude!



There's also this at the Lighthouse which I'll be all over:

Thursday December 18
-sun circle (dronedronedrone from greg davis and zach wallace of vermont and montana, "it's quite nice. Really some delirium-inducing stuff." -adam richards, foxy digitalis)
--bird show (kranky records, "...a primal drone that unites Vida?s obsessions - electronic hum, acoustic ambience and woodsy buzz - into one massive sound." - Marc Masters, The Wire)
---kokomo ("guitar + computer controlled harp. A little bit of gravity melting in your hand.")
----echolalia (dc theremin magick)




Can't speak for the others but the Bird Show album that came out on Kranky this year is really really good.

Is he the one who does all the talking, even though he's not the lead singer?

It was especially humbling to hear Will Butler constantly thank us for all the hard work we put into the campaign, telling us they were especially honored to have been asked to play this event. I will not bore you with the details of my life on the campaign, but suffice to say it has been the most memorable experience of my life. It's an experience that cannot be matched and we are reminded that we are in a sort of limbo everyday now that it's all over. As Will humorously remarked in the middle of the concert, "This is the funniest party I've been to for people who have all just lost their jobs".

May I suggest you consult my list of downtempo/house-oriented DJ events (from the Distict Soul forum):

;)

http://www.districtsoul.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=16561

Offhand, I believe that the Fatback DJs @ Saint-Ex (Fri. 1/30) and the event at Gua-Rapo (Sat. 1/31) are free.

As for a place that lets you in for free AND gives you a free drink... I think you might be out of luck there.

Yeah, I rested up this weekend b/c the next two weeks are a bit much. I had the holiday yesterday, so my mind is already on shows into next week.

Perhaps Von Bondies tomorrow, but you all said they are shite live.
A friend's show maybe Friday. Dang, I completely forgot about DBT (sorry Hoya...I probably didn't have money so I forgot).

M. Ward Sat.
Thinking about Kathleen Edwards Sunday, but again, money and work conflict..
Toad Tuesday b/c I couldn't get into JEW.
Griffin House Thursday.
Thinking about Tapes 'n' Tapes Fri and And You Will Know Us next Sat...but I haven't ventured to RnR yet, or solo.

Can't speak for their later shows but when I saw them play the Backstage a few years ago, they were pretty good. This was back when they use to have the other girl guitar player and before they got a little more 'famous'. For whatever that's worth. It might not be the show of the season but I can't imagine it being all that bad either.

Saw Antony and the Johnsons again at both NY shows, and wow...it was just fucking gorgeous. I can't believe how god damn beautiful those songs are...and the arrangements! So perfect, so compelling, and there was such a hushed reverence in the venue during the songs. Fucking owned it.

There were also a shit ton of random celebrities there.

Night 1 we saw Alison Janney, Kim Cattrall, Thora Birch, and other people I can't remember.

Night 2 we saw Bjork, Isabella Rosselini, St. Vincent, Willem Dafoe, Joan Wasser, and one of those great fashion designer guys that I don't know the name of. Maybe Marc Jacobs or something, but he looked like shit. Oh, and Ilan from Top Chef was there.

azag: if it's any consolation, ixkpd-bk had to hang with me before and after the show.  almost as bad as a DBT train wreck :)

As amazing as just about everyone who saw the DC show said it was. Beautiful, powerful performance. Sound was perfect. String arrangements were excellent. An all around awesome and fantastic performance.

what azaghal (and ixkpd-bk, and many others) said.  wow.


I agree, that was tremendous. Perfect sound quality, great venue, the band sounded unbelievable. REALLY impressed with how they arranged the violins, cellos and various other instruments. And that voice! It's even more amazing live than it is on record. From a purely musical perspective, it was one of the best shows I've seen in years. Every song was epic, he really is a musical giant, and it was close to perfect.

The only negative, and god hell what a negative, was that stage banter. Holy shit Antony, you're going to seriously cripple this magical musical vibe you got going with that 6th-grade-schoolgirl schtick of "I just... umm..... well, y'know.... why don't we just be women.... and like... y'know... I'm sorry" It was so painful, and when he kept interupting the song to further blather on incoherently, I was dying.

what relaxer said, including about the awkward banter.  he pulled out an old t-shirt and a painted tile from a purple purse (!) and said that he was going to give them away, sorta like door prizes.  first there was an awkward moment as he figured out how to award the prizes, then he started disparaging the two prizes and said that no one really wants them, that they were trash, even though lamers in the crowd obviously wanted them.  if they are trash, why did you bring it up?  so embarrassing. 

although he did tell the funniest joke i've heard all week: "so they polled all 50 states to see which on they wanted to fall in to the ocean.  49 states voted for new york, and one voted for new jersey" :D :D :D

Night 2 we saw Bjork, Isabella Rosselini, St. Vincent, Willem Dafoe, Joan Wasser, and one of those great fashion designer guys that I don't know the name of. Maybe Marc Jacobs or something, but he looked like shit. Oh, and Ilan from Top Chef was there.

now you're making shit up.  bjork was NOT there, you would have told me!

Blister - Jimmy Eat World

Take advantage of these times, you said.
You let me down.
It hasn't been the first time.
As I'm falling in the pit of fire my mind's made up.
I'm never coming back here.

How long would it take me to walk across the United States all alone.
The West coast has been traumatized.
I think I'm the only one still alive.

Is it just a coincidence to see you by yourself with no direction.
Now it's time to move on.
Don't you know that things aren't getting better.

how was the Earthless/Witch show?
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: Relaxer on February 27, 2009, 03:43:27 pm
I thought Earthless was great. Was happy when they finally wrapped up, as I can only take that kind of higher-Higher-HIGHER solo jamming for so long before burning out on it. The first band was pretty damn good too, especially the bass player. The guitar player was playing very simple runs but it worked. Only stayed for about five or six numbers of Witch because I was spent at that point and they weren't doing much for me. Man, I understand that he's an old man now, but J was looking awfully puffy. Also, there's something bittersweet about seeing one of the greatest guitar players of our generation playing drums.

Also, did anyone see that big tall guy that passed out in the middle of the floor at the end of the first band's set? Yeah, he was with me. It was funny because he was a friend of a friend who I met for the first time a week ago. And then there he was, sprawled out on the floor and I'm thinking, holy shit, I don't even know this guy.

Not a problem at all. I have a place in both DC and NYC, but as of late, I've been leaning more towards being more in Brooklyn. I work, albeit freelance, I do work. In terms of how I get to and from DC, I generally use Megabus, Boltbus, or the dreaded chinatown bus (it's super frequent!). I know people who also go to mid-week shows in other cities and STILL go to work the next day, it's not as uncommon as you might think.

Those three are in dire need of a late night bus back to DC. I'm at my wit's end with Greyhound yet they're the only option for this. :(
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: Firebutt McGee on March 02, 2009, 12:08:31 pm
Chinatown bus has a 1:30am or a 3:00am bus from 88 Broadway.

Megabus sometimes has an 11:59pm bus from Penn Station, which I guess is good if you're going to a show at Nokia Theater, Roseland, Beacon Theater, Town Hall, or any of those midtown venues with a 7pm doors and a 8pm start time.

Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: Firebutt McGee on March 02, 2009, 12:31:49 pm
Yeah they do! Always!

Chinatown buses stop at the taxi stand/parking lot outside of Baltimore Travel Plaza going into and out of DC.

Megabus stops at White Marsh Mall, and Boltbus doesn't stop at all, I don't think.

There's another option called MVP Bus that actually stops in downtown Baltimore that has wifi and tables, near North/Charles St., which goes directly to NY for $18, I think. It might be $20 now. Still a hell of a lot cheaper than Amtrak, and way more accommodating than Greyhound.

Yes I made it! It was amazinggggggg! They played for 1 hour 10 minutes with all the highlights from Parc Avenue album...and a couple of new tunes. Very lucky to hear a full set as they opened for Blitzen Trapper in NYC and Brooklyn and they probably played for 30 minutes. Been in love with them since they opened for Wolf Parade in 2007. Good sized crowd...then on the way home it started to snow...but still made it home.

Here is the Megabus (http://www.megabus.com/us/schedules/baltimore_newyork.php) option site which would probably be my best option out of White Marsh. The other two only list a stop on Charles St. in downtown Baltimore. Though not really all that far for me (about the same as White Marsh), there would then still be the problem of finding a convenient and affordable place to park my car. Only problem with Megabus is that the last bus out of NYC is at 11:59PM which means that it would be best for me to make a whole night of it and then plan to catch the 6:45AM bus out first thing in the morning.

Downtown wouldn't be so bad if Baltimore's public transportation system didn't suck so much which is why I need a spot I can drive to.

   firstly, let me tell you that despite thinking the crowd would all have cool masks on and fake blood all over them, I was disappointed.  This is not some Insane Clown Posse movement (yet).  This was a very mishmoshed crowd ranging from scared looking 15 year old girls all the way up to 22-24 year old drunk scumbags who obviously havent matured much since they were in high school.  Also, they were ugly. I mean, i dont know too many guys who would utterly hate having to spend the evening with a bunch of good looking high school / early college girls.  Not in a perverted sort of way......well, you know, theres worse things to look at i suppose.  but this was NOT the best looking bunch of kids i've seen! 

   Anyway, the first band....Brokencyde, is worth noting. and worth checking out.  I will just link one song cause you wont be ABLE to listen to 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TH5ibABP4U (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TH5ibABP4U) Were these guys not loved enough when they were young? I have nothing more to say about this band ......  ever. 

    The next two bands, Haste the Day and Senses fail were emo junk....skip.  Other than that about 1/4 of the people left after Senses Fail, i guess not everyone was undead.

    So these clowns come on and play that "Undead" song which sounds a bit like Eminem or Linkin Park, its ok really, more funny than anything else, but its a real song anyway.  And that was the last real song they played.

    For some reason i thought they were going to be some crazy weird evil like band with those masks or costumes or whatever, but no.  They all took their masks off after the first song and they were just dudes up there acting lke douches cursing and shouting vulgarities to mostly kids not old enough to drive.

     They didnt do anything cool, nothing special and nothing interesting. Usually a band that lacks so much talent, makes up for it in stage effects, costumes, antics or something.  This was just some dudes saying some raunchy shit without rehearsing and they went from perhaps Eminem/Linkin Park territory straight to just being a Kottonmouth Kings ripoff.   and thats bad.   

     The kids liked em though, but sometimes i think kids that age like anything. 

i dont have a setlist, sorry ;)

I dont know about Trance Arc, but Dead Confederate are nice.  Their debut cd is good old fashioned rock and roll, much in the same vein as the Whigs.  Ive heard a couple of semi accurate descriptions of them, like they are Bleach era Nirvana playing My Morning Jacket songs, or they are southern redneck shoegaze.  Whatever the case, expect lots of distortion and tortured howling.

I didn't really find the Black Lips "boring."  They were energetic and so was the crowd.  It just wasn't quite my thing...I felt really old.  Crowd surfers make me so grumpy.  But I got my fill of excitement when I returned to my car to find it had been broken into.  Everything rifled through, nothing taken...ha!

ixkpd-bk enjoy that Rem tribute! I would like to know what the feelies do, in hopes of having them repeat the songs on Saturday

Here was the setlist for the tribute:

The dB?s ? "Fall On Me"
Fink ? "The Apologist"
Keren Ann ? "Man On The Moon"
Calexico ? "Wendell Gee"
Rachael Yamagata ? "The Great Beyond"
Bob Mould ? "Sitting Still"
The Feelies ? "Carnival Of Sorts (Boxcars)"
Ingrid Michaelson ? "Nightswimming"
Glen Hansard ? "Hairshirt"
The Apples In Stereo ? "So. Central Rain"
Guster ? "Shaking Through?
Marshall Crenshaw ? "Supernatural Superserious"
Rhett Miller ? "Driver 8"
Kimya Dawson ? "World Leader Pretend"
Vic Chesnutt And Elf Power ? "Everybody Hurts"
Kristin Hersh And Throwing Muses ? "Perfect Circle"
Dar Williams ? "At My Most Beautiful"
Jolie Holland ? "(Don?t Go Back To) Rockville" (featuring Kyp Malone of TV On The Radio)
Darius Rucker (from Hootie and the Blowfish) ? "I Believe"
Patti Smith ? "New Test Leper"
R.E.M. ? "E-Bow The Letter" (featuring Patti Smith)

They did E-Bow, my favorite REM song, and owned it.

Highlights:

-Patti Smith doing "New Test Leper".
-Ingrid Michaelson doing "Nightswimming" (SUCH a surprise, she blew just about everyone away)
-Vic Chesnutt and Elf Power doing "Everybody Hurts"
-Apples in Stereo doing "So. Central Rain"
-Glen Hansard doing "Hairshirt" (TOTALLY random.)

Disappointments:

-Kimya. Fucking. Dawson. (Way to ruin one of my favs, bitch. NO one needed floor xylophonists or circus dancers or your gold diaper/globe dress.)
-Jolie Holland
-Marshall Crenshaw
-Keren Ann

Overall, the song choices were super random. A lot of fan favorites and album tracks were chosen over obvious singles, and I appreciated that. Some reinterpretations worked ("Nightswimming", "At My Most Beautiful", "Everybody Hurts"), and some just didn't ("Supernatural Superserious", "Man on the Moon"). Nobody should fuck with Man on the Moon, imho. But whatever.

The Palace at 4am
All of My Days and All of My Days Off
Cloud Prayer
Young Atlantis
Drink to Me, Babe, Then
The Collected Works
Changeling (Get Guilty)
Submarines of Stockholm
On the Table
---
There Is a War (Leonard Cohen cover)
Town Halo

I wish he did "Thunderbolts", especially since he had Nicole Atkins there (!!!), but it was still a pretty damn great show. I'm not a fan of Dent May and his Magnificent Ukelele though. Too much for me. There was no New Pornos stuff, and it was good that way. I'd definitely do more of his shows if the timing was better. He soundchecked "Most of Us Prizefighters" and a cover of "Love Goes On", but didn't perform those two last night.

Have to disagree with Julian. Always thought their music was okay. Not great but not bad. Then I saw them do a couple songs last summer when they opened for Swervedriver at the 9:30 Club and was pleasantly surprised. Much better live than I had expected. Not blown away but very much enjoyed them and wouldn't mind seeing them live again. Maybe he's right about them getting better.

Longwave were way better last night than when they opened for Swervedriver...weren't they at a major label at some point? I recognized some songs from 2003 or 2004.

Have to disagree with Julian. Always thought their music was okay. Not great but not bad. Then I saw them do a couple songs last summer when they opened for Swervedriver at the 9:30 Club and was pleasantly surprised. Much better live than I had expected. Not blown away but very much enjoyed them and wouldn't mind seeing them live again. Maybe he's right about them getting better. Due to attending a party beforehand, I missed their entire set and was very sorry to have missed the early part because I really enjoyed what I did catch.

Longwave was, and they sort of refer to that album as the one they would like to forget. I think their new material, which they played heavily last night, is some of their best. I'm biased, always liked them, but even seeing them on back to back nights they still sounded pretty fresh. Having booked them before, i can tell you they are a nice group of guys too. Shame they don't get as much press as they should...

Most likely, both will be doable.

Unless they switch the band order on you like they did with the Pink Reason show on monday with no notice.

It's also a money issue too, I guess.  And I'm wondering if tiny Velvet Lounge will sell out by the time I get there, having 4(?) openers?

Argh, I only slightly want to see Glasvegas, and am slightly more curious to see Spindrift.

You may be right which surprises me. There was a time when the BJM maddness prevailed around here but I think Anton's couple of drunken extravaganzas through town are catching up with him. I missed him when he played DC9 (I think it was). That show was good, wasn't it? Only saw them once and that was a number of years ago in Baltimore and that was a good show. Anton's spent a good amount of time in Iceland lately and I have a feeling it's chilled him down a bit. At least, I sure hope so. Looking forward to seeing the show.

However, I have to admit that the real push that is getting me down for the show is to see the opener, Flavor Crystals. Have no idea how their music will translate live but I flipping love this band, especially their first album called On Plastic. In fact, when I was doing my radio show, The Trans-Atlantic Underground on Kool Rock Radio, I selected On Plastic as the album of the year for 2005. I'm still playing them on Air Atlantic Underground Radio. The song Milky Way still sets me off...in a good way. Kind of like a mildly tempered Lupine Howl. With that said, their 2nd release is a whole lot more laid back and kind of misty sounding. For beginners, I would recommend On Plastic. Don't skip out on the band if you are coming to the show, especially if you like a bit of spacey Psychedelia in your music. Not way out there like Psychic Ills but more like a nice mild buzz.


Wish that I could make it out to see My Education (another Air Atlantic Underground Radio band) but due to too much suckage in my life, that's not happening.

I'd like to see Robyn H./Jennifer O., Neko, or Rocco, but money is tight.

Sat. night is a busy one. Who is doing what?
At this juncture, I plan on Beirut (not sure I'm interested in the opener, Sharon von Etten).
Then, thinking of Cloud Cult/Ice Palace/M&NSS's - will this sell out?

How was Monday Michiru -- I see you gave her an A-?

Did you see her complete set before heading over to the 9:30 for Sebastien Tellier?

I saw her at Bohemian Caverns last year and really enjoyed her show, but the cover -- already steep last year -- was even steeper this time around, so I decided to forgo it.

I completely loved it! I saw her early set (she had an 8pm and a 10:30pm) and it was great. She did acoustic versions of Basement Jaxx's "Always Be There" and "Tonight" (the latter was a request). She's apparently never done those live in DC before. Her voice is great, and her solo stuff is totally solid! I'm gonna get her new album soon, and I'll let you know how it is.

how was the cloud cult show?
Very good.  I didnt see any of the openers, but Cloud Cult were great as always.  They played a set featuring songs from across their back catalouge.  Only had one painter this time.  Sound was great, the best i have heard them sound,  though i have only seen them at their last Rock and Roll Hotel and Black Cat gigs before this one. 

Also, the place was packed at the end of Margots set (when i walked in).  I got towards the front to watch CC.  by the time i headed towards the back, at the end of the show, the place was half empty...

Guess people just wanted some so and so action.  Or they were filtering out throughout, i didnt pay attention.  If you want the set list, i can post it later, I wrote it up on my phone. 

Show score based on Cloud Cult alone = A+ Great Job!
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: Vas Deferens on April 13, 2009, 04:30:17 pm
that's understandable since Margot > Cloud Cult. I would have gone but the Beirut show ended at 10:20 and Margot's set was at 10:30...

My math works out the exact opposite with Cloud Cult > Margot (in musical output and not based upon who is more popular).  But thats just my taste.  I will say i do kind of wish i would have came a little earlier.  Margots last two songs sounded really good and i wouldnt have minded seeing a little more.

Like physically painful.
Two songs in, I was whimpering like a wounded
 puppy and begging  ixkpd-bk to let me go back to the backbar but he held me against the rail and wouldn't budge.

She did climb over to the barricade and straddle my face during her "I kissed a girl" song though which helped the healing process somewhat. Still, I'll probably have flashbacks from that horrid music like Vietnam vets do from war for years to come.

Maybe Faint again at Sonar tomorrow.  What's their set time in Balto?  Anyone know off the top of their heads?

Thanks,

I liked Ladytron a lot more than The Faint. Hell, I even enjoyed Crocodiles a lot more than the Faint, too.

That Ladytron show tonight was a C, or a B- at best. Loved Crocodiles though.

The Faint was high energy and fun, but seriously every song sounded the same. I hate that.


Off to LA, today!

I thought the Faint were the best. Of course I know most of their stuff and I don't think they all sound the same. Loved the setlist (esp. Southern Belles, which I have not heard live before).

It would have been better if I wasn't familiar with Ladytron's new stuff...just doesn't translate well live (except I'm Not Scared). The ones that translated well live were from Witching Hour (Soft Power, High Rise).

That Ladytron show tonight was a C, or a B- at best. Loved Crocodiles though.

tuesday: dead weather at the bowery
wed: flight of the conchords @ radio city

the dead weather put on a solid blues-rock show.  jack's drumming was decent but nothing spectacular (then again the music didn't really lend itself to displays of virtuosity).  i've never seen the kills before but alison was a great front-woman.  definitely looking forward to seeing this band again.  BV's pix (http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2009/04/the_dead_weathe_2.html).  my pix (http://picasaweb.google.com/sweetcell/TheDeadWeatherBoweryBallroomApril09).

Dick Cheese was a riot. Played for over two hours and I would've went for another two.


Ratatat were awful. I left three songs in. Black Pus, while not being a very appropriate opener for this show was incredible. Left the poor unsuspecting teenagers next to me in the front row in excruciating pain.

Sat. nite: what to do?
DNA at VL
Sara W./Justin Jones early at club
Teddy Thompson at Iota (think he'll go on at 10?)
Avant Fairfax

Unfortunately, I'll probably need to skip Avant. I'd like to catch part of DNA, and Sara and maybe head to Iota? Just not sure of Sara W. set time.

I agree Iota is one of the worst for crowd chatter. One can hope it can be one of those Sat. nights that is dead b/c of "date night" or nice weather. (thx Charlie for the confirm and yeah, I thought start at 9 really means 9:30...)

I'm not surprised. Every time i see ixkpd-bk's schedule i am amazed by
A) his love for music
B) his endless bank account
C) his flexible work schedule
D) his energy
and E) his apparent lack of a life -- at least one that doesn't involve music

It's not like this epic week is really all that different from a normal one of seeing shows all week in DC, NYC and Philly. I know there is some sort of flexible job option, and two homes, and that apparent million dollars in the bank, but i have come to avoid this thread simply to not be shocked/made jealous/annoyed every week, in that order.

i already have my tix for the roots :)  Lady Sov is the early show, but the rumor is that she'll stick around and participate in the late-night Jam as well.  if someone is really really interested, they release a few tix on the night of each show so if you get there early and are willing to wait in line, you can get it.  emphasis on getting there early (like before ten) and the waiting.

i might be hitting this show up again in the coming weeks, it's a ton of fun and easily the best $10 of live music i've come across.

I surround myself with amazing people, I managed to get a degree at a decent school, and I'm making things work in my life where I can do something I love (that I choose not to disclose on a public forum) and be happy doing it. :)

Also: The reason this week is so epic for me is because I'm seeing a band that means a lot to me with people that mean a lot to me. Not to mention, Kelley Polar, a guy who's album was my favorite last year, who played all of ONCE in the US in 2008, is opening for their NYC show. Sounds like a winner!

This week is going to be epic for me.

Today - Dark Was the Night Concert @ Radio City Music Hall
Monday - The Kills @ Music Hall of W'Burg
Tuesday - Junior Boys / Max Tundra @ Black Cat
Wednesday - Junior Boys / Max Tundra @ First Unitarian Church
Thursday - Junior Boys / Max Tundra @ Webster Hall
Friday - Celebration / Psychic Ills @ Le Poisson Rouge
Saturday - Nine Inch Nails / Jane's Addiction @ Ford Amphitheater in Tampa, FL


good god!   that's awesome, when do you work?


I love how this question pops up every couple weeks or so.


I'm not surprised. Every time i see ixkpd-bk's schedule i am amazed by
A) his love for music
B) his endless bank account
C) his flexible work schedule
D) his energy
and E) his apparent lack of a life -- at least one that doesn't involve music

It's not like this epic week is really all that different from a normal one of seeing shows all week in DC, NYC and Philly. I know there is some sort of flexible job option, and two homes, and that apparent million dollars in the bank, but i have come to avoid this thread simply to not be shocked/made jealous/annoyed every week, in that order. Nothing personal meant by this ixpd-bk, it just, i dunno, bugs me for some reason. In the same way all those rich kids on Gossp Girl do...

It's cool! None taken, really.

A few years back I saw them perform as part of an art parade in the Village. The costumes were really out there and it was completely over-the-top, and they sounded amazing. If their concerts are anything like that, id not miss it. Ill know on Friday how it is, not sure when they play DC.

ps - Sweetcell - did you get your tix yet in the mail for the show? I think you ordered them pre-sale too. For some reason they are not mailing my tix and arent sure what is happening with pre-sale tix.

tuesday: the roots @ highline ballroom, NYC - unconfirmed special guest, among others: lady sovereign (the roots have a weekly residency at the highline ballroom called "the jam", where they are the house band and various artists join them on stage to, well, jam.  went 2 weeks ago a Booker T sat in on the first half of the show!  HIGHLY recommended if you're in NYC during the week.  tix only $10, but buy in advance - shows always sell out).

show was great once again.  no lady sov.  special guest tonight: street sweeper's first-ever east coast show!  the boots riley/tom morello fronted band is now going by "street sweeper social club".  they were really good, and tom dispelled any rumors that he's a bad guitar player.  between his solos during their set, and the freeform improv session he did with the roots and a saxophonist, easily proved that the boy can play.  looking forward to hearing them again in a month, when they open for NIN/JA.

The Junior Boys did their thing tonight at the Black Cat. Max Tundra was even more erratic and energetic than he was at SXSW, and I like the furry little guy!

Junior Boys setlist for all interested parties:

Hazel
The Equalizer
Double Shadow
Work
Parallel Lines
Bits and Pieces
Count Souveniers
The Animator

GREAT Damned show last night. Ian Mackaye and Brian Baker looked on as I kissed Captain Sensible's hand. He dedicated "Eloise" to me too. Sad thing is they said it'll probably be the last time they come to DC, which is a downer. The BellRays were phenomenal too. What a great night.

thermals were pretty good. 'cept i got stuck standing behind this super-tall dude. i always think the guitar could be louder when they play, but i guess that's their choice to keep it kinda low. the new songs are not quite as good as the old ones, but they still play plenty of old ones. good 1993 covers, too.

Tue May 19 - Tortured Soul, Highline Ballroom, NYC
W 20 May - St Vincent, Webster Hall, New York NY (maybe)
Thu 5/21 - WHITE RABBITS, Bowery Ballroom, NYC

on saturday night i had the extreme pleasure of hearing A Zero Complex, a band from philadelphia.  they were shockingly good - progressive power-pop?  dunno what label to attach to them, but they had nicely crafted songs that rocked.  i haven't been that impressed by an unknown band in a long long time.  do keep your eyes out for these guys, although i'm uncertain how far they travel.

(edit: there are some streaming songs on their website, http://www.azerocomplex.com/, which were recorded a year and a half ago... they don't do the band justice, they've obviously improved a lot since)

Thurs: White Rabbits @ bowery
fri: Holy Fuck/A Place to Bury Strangers/The Morning After Girls @ Music Hall of W'burg

cant wait for friday nights show since i just learned TMAG will be opening. Im hoping all the bands play together on "Lovely Allen". This is just too awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWUyjRVpLkM

The Radio Dept. were excellent on Saturday night. A shame the set was pretty short, but they sounded amazing. Eux Autres sounded better on album, but were fun nonetheless. And it seemed everyone loved A Secret History - they were good, but if I never heard their cover of "Reel Around the Fountain" again, Id be quite happy. Also one of the guys in the band seemed to think it was a comedy show and tried to tell a joke between every song, which got annoying super quickly esp because he was so _not_ funny. The first band, computer perfection, stood out the most for me. Fun, catchy, indie pop that had the very small crowd dancing.

And Suburban Kids playing with Pants Yell was pretty awesome. I loved the guys reading the lyrics off a piece of paper attempting to get through the songs.

Popfest was AWESOME. I loved the Radio Dept.'s set at Don Hill's. They played for about 45 minutes, and the guy next to me was taping it, so hopefully they'll have a bootleg. If I never heard the shitty Finnish band that came after them's cover of "I Don't Like Mondays", I'd be a-okay.

It was good, but I was really beat (hadn't had enough time to take a disco nap) and was so sleepy that I had to leave before the show was over.

I think the (singing) drummer should've performed on a riser -- he was at stage level and I don't think the people more than 15 feet back would've been able to see him.

Good show.  I hope for their next D.C. appearance they'll be at the 9:30 Club.  ;)

Anvil Hammers Away, Proving The Film Hit the Nail on the Head

By Dave McKenna
Special to the Washington Post
Friday, May 22, 2009



Heavy metal isn't for the sentimental. But it was impossible to watch Anvil's odd live show at the E Street Cinema on Wednesday without getting a little weepy about all the can-miss Canadian band has been through for rock-and-roll.

Singer Steve "Lips" Kudlow and drummer Robb "Robbo" Reiner took the stage after a screening of "Anvil: The Story of Anvil," a documentary about how their friendship and band have survived decades of professional failures. The gig was part of a moviehouse tour promoting both the band and the film. It's a brilliant marketing combo: Seeing the damaged duo -- joined by bassist Glenn Five -- perform live after the movie was like watching the Yankees play after a screening of "The Lou Gehrig Story." You have no choice but to root for 'em.

The setting was wholly unmetallic, but Anvil didn't change its act a lick. As the film credits were still rolling, the house lights went up, and Kudlow, in the flesh and dressed in black, strolled up a staircase playing stock metal licks and screaming unintelligibles into the pickups of his Flying V. He then joined his mates beneath the screen and kicked into "March of the Crabs," a tune from Anvil's 1982 LP "Metal on Metal." That opening, like the rest of the 25-minute set, had all the energy and irony-free cartoonishness you'd want from the band in the movie. You never had to wait long for a grandiose and super-noisy pick slide from Kudlow or for Reiner to finger-roll his drumsticks with his hands held high.

Reiner really is a great drummer. His solo on "White Rhino" reminded folks that he was an early proponent of the now-standard heavy-metal kick drum roll, which creates the sort of rapid-fire sound you get when you put your tongue against the roof of your mouth and blow -- only much, much louder. But as he pounded away, one couldn't help but notice that Reiner was wearing the same necklace he talked about in the movie, the one with the golden drumsticks that his now-dead Auschwitz-survivor father gave to him as a teenager to show support for his musical endeavors, however unprofitable they might be. Go ahead, try not to cheer for that guy!

The performance, like the movie, closed with Anvil delivering "Metal on Metal," the anthem Kudlow and Reiner wrote when they were young, the song that was going to make them famous. The tune ends with Kudlow screaming "Keep on rocking!" Good God, has he practiced what he preached.

The Crocodiles were entertaining, but their stage show definitely needs something else.  I really dig their cd, and it was cool seeing them, but too much of their music was prerecorded.  A drummer/bassist/keyboardist, or something would have definitely helped their stage presence.  They were ok though, dont get me wrong i dont mind bands that are less than traditional... but more players would have been nice.  They did have decent stage presence, the singer liked to twirl on his heels in his wingtips quite a bit and looked like he was having fun, and the guitarist did the guitarist thing...

Holy Fuck were great.  It was nice seeing them do a full set after only seeing them open for Sons and Daughters last year, and at Lollapalooza.  I was able to get a spot right by the stage and was able to really watch what the guys were doing.  I love the fact that they essentially take crap electronics and make great tunes with them.  They must practice all the time, because the two keyboard players have their instrument and cable switching down to a science.  The music was great (unless you hate HF for some reason...) and the crowd wasnt too crowded.  The sound was also excellent, some of the best I have heard at the Hotel, very clear, and bass heavy.  I made sure to bring earplugs, cause last year either Sons and Daughters or Holy Fuck caused my ears to ring for months, resulting in me having to go to the audiologist and getting custom made plugs made.  

All in all, it was a B+ show.  If the Crocodiles were a little more exciting, maybe it would have been an A- because of how good HF were.

Yeah, EJ is one great guy. I like him a whole lot. He's also one Hell of a musician, both musically and on the technical side of things. Always has some good insight and/or helpful pointers for the geeks. You should also check out his other bands, Highspire and House Of Fire. Think you personally might prefer House Of Fire because it's more Dandy's sounding. (Not to be confused with all of those other House/Of/On/Fire bands. I've already gotten on him about that! LOL.) Both of his other bands are very good.

Please tell him I said 'hello' the next time you see him...and to get The Morning After Girls down this way soon! Hey, I'd be happy with seeing House Of Fire or Highspire but the Highspire thing isn't going to happen. Oh, and tell him that you heard from Jaguar that the word around is that 'he's so fey'. It's an inside joke from a long time ago we have from something I found and told him about. He'll laugh.

Sunday - Marty and Sacha (The Morning After Girls) @ Living Room

and Jag - EJ rocks! He has got to be the nicest, greatest, coolest guy ever :) And Marty was equally cool, but there was something pretty awesome about EJ. Ill prob be seeing him again on Sunday night hanging out with him at the show. Ive now been labeled one of their biggest fans since Ive been promoting their shows out here and said I'd help out with selling merch if they needed it.

Yeah, EJ is one great guy. I like him a whole lot. He's also one Hell of a musician, both musically and on the technical side of things. Always has some good insight and/or helpful pointers for the geeks. You should also check out his other bands, Highspire and House Of Fire. Think you personally might prefer House Of Fire because it's more Dandy's sounding. (Not to be confused with all of those other House/Of/On/Fire bands. I've already gotten on him about that! LOL.)

Jag - long story but i missed the show last night and didnt get to see EJ if he made it. stupid subway trains in the city were a nightmare and caused total havoc :( ah well. seems TMAG play monthly at the living room. they are planning a full tour soon was the last i heard when i talked to him. not sure when it might happen, but its in the works :)

This week: - Saturday - Dean & Britta @ Le Poisson Rouge

luckily things should dry out in time for sunday's phish show.  i can only imagine what that scene would look (and smell!) like in a downpour.  actually, maybe that would wash 'em off.

score is now 1-1, last night belonged to NIN.  i read a couple of reviews of the camden show - some loved it, others noticed that something was off for trent & co.  not so last night - they came out and melted faces.  janes was good, although it felt like they were going through the motions a little.  dave seemed to spend more time intereacting with the hotties in the front row than with the band.  perry is a great front man, was in his element, but the lack of a GA pit hurt the energy level and interaction with the crowd.  on the other hand, no pit allowed me to be 4 feet away from the stage (all hail the efforts of thedirector and callat703 for making that happen - absolutely ridiculous seats).  the missus, who is just young enough to have missed JA's heyday, didn't quite know what to make of perry.  visually, she compared him to an old-school french gay porn star.  i think he'd take that as a compliment :)

street sweeper were, once again, thoroughly enjoyable.  morello has totally come in to his own as a guitarist.  attn NYC'ers: their album launch party is june 16th at the gramercy theater.  wish i could make it.

That NIN setlist, though, is interesting. Lots of songs I didn't think they'd play/I've never seen. Not the hit-fest one would assume. Still would love them to do Perfect Drug or And All That Could Have Been live.

that's been the template for this tour - JA doesn't vary at all in its greatest hits set (link (http://www.setlist.fm/stats/janes-addiction-13d689e9.html?tour=NIN|JA+2009)), whereas "head like a hole" and "march of the pigs" are the only songs NIN have been playing consistently each night (link (http://www.setlist.fm/stats/nine-inch-nails-1bd6a5bc.html?tour=NIN|JA+2009)).  they've been playing a lot of rarities.  "hurt" was the highlight for me last night, but the whole set kicked.  monday is an off night for the tour so expect all bands to be refreshed on tuesday.  wish i could be there.

Damn...that NIN setlist from Saturday looks great. The Camden show was just lacking something. Trent even admitted that his head was somewhere else. I'm bummed that I saw them on an off night, but it was so cool to see Jane's absolutely shred because I'd never seen them before. I had such a good time at that concert. I repeat, I couldn't ever imagine seeing them without Eric Avery. And Stephen Perkins is just fantastic too. I hope everyone will have a blast at this. I'll give a report on the Beasties.

I like their live sound (mostly because of Sitek's "less is more" approach). But yeah, their material is still rearranged live. Great show tonight except for that song "Family Tree" which sucked all the energy out of the room. Slow, plotting ballads aren't TVOTR's strong suit.

I thought "Family Tree" was actually a highlight.  Not a big fan of that song on the album but the live arrangement was great.

Show was great and sound was good, though the vocals were buried in the mix at times.  I'm not sure if it's the evolution of their overall approach to playing live or just how they were set up last night, but I remember them being much clearer and having a lot more separation when they were at the club supporting Return to Cookie Mountain in '06.  This was more of an in-your-face-and-rocking-substantially effort from them.

another highlight was them not playing the mariner's revenge.

I really enjoyed the Decemberists as well.  I didnt listen to the album before the show so it would be new and i am glad i did it that way (im getting the album this week finally now that i have seen it).  It definitely was great: the pacing, the change ups, the sound, the stage set... Really top notch production.  It was really fun having it presented as an united piece (though im still a bit unsure what the actual story of the album/show is about). 

I will definitely catch them again (even though its the same show) at Bonnaroo this week.    Im not sure if the show would have converted any Decemberists haters, but for fans it was definitely a treat. 

It was also my best friends daughter's (10 yo) first show (that wasnt Hannah Montana).  She enjoyed the hell out of it as well, and i am glad MPP is so kid friendly. The next step is to take her to a club venue show... But that might wait awhile...

The new album just makes me want her to have an amazing light show. And isn't this her first show on this tour? Or am I making that up... Anyone else going?

Post by: xneverwherex on June 16, 2009, 02:42:44 pm
I cant say Im someone who knows Josh Ritter, only by name (and maybe a song). But I knew this would be quite awesome. I worked the VIP area (for guests of summerstage, typically), but the conductor of the pops ended up having some friends up there. So I got to hear a bit about what was going on and how it went (which prob added some 'cool' factor for me). The conductor kept saying how this would be an awesome 90 min set but it seemed louder than anything he was ever used to. And he had said they hadnt practiced too much so it would be interesting.

It started out with just the pops playing before Josh Ritter came on stage and then it was incredibly awesome. The crowd was seated most the time early on, and then one of his bigger songs came on and everyone got up and was singing and dancing along. The night held out (ie no rain - which hasnt happened much this June) and it turned out to be perfect. He dedicated a song to his parents who were there celebrating their 40th anniversary. He played a song with a poet from NYC. And there was also a song he played with a violinist, Hilary Hahn, who was playing at Town Hall later in the week. She was really great.

And the encore - well it just made my night. He introduced the person joining him onstage as the first person to ever take a chance on him and then out came Glen Hansard. Simply brilliant! The song was Come and Find me.

Setlist:

Best for the Best
Other Side
Rumors
Wolves
Girl in the War
Temptation of Adam
Thin Blue Flame (w/ Hilary Hahn)
To the Dogs or Whoever
Monster Ballads
Edge of the World (w/ poem by Mark Strand)

Right Moves
Kathleen
Come and Find Me (w/ Glen Hansard)
Empty Hearts




Fri - Josh Ritter & The NY Pops - Summerstage
How was this show?
Also, anyone have comments from Doves' show?

You had me until the last paragraph. And then I was oh so glad I didn't go. Did Hansard have his daughter there to play piano?

I cant say Im someone who knows Josh Ritter, only by name (and maybe a song). But I knew this would be quite awesome. I worked the VIP area (for guests of summerstage, typically), but the conductor of the pops ended up having some friends up there. So I got to hear a bit about what was going on and how it went (which prob added some 'cool' factor for me). The conductor kept saying how this would be an awesome 90 min set but it seemed louder than anything he was ever used to. And he had said they hadnt practiced too much so it would be interesting.

It started out with just the pops playing before Josh Ritter came on stage and then it was incredibly awesome. The crowd was seated most the time early on, and then one of his bigger songs came on and everyone got up and was singing and dancing along. The night held out (ie no rain - which hasnt happened much this June) and it turned out to be perfect. He dedicated a song to his parents who were there celebrating their 40th anniversary. He played a song with a poet from NYC. And there was also a song he played with a violinist, Hilary Hahn, who was playing at Town Hall later in the week. She was really great.

Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: serpent boy on June 16, 2009, 04:54:44 pm
And how was Eddie?
(sorry for all the questions, I'm living vicariously right now. Plus, there is so much chatter about shows before they happen and often not as much after - which is what I mostly want to know about - the show(s). If you don't or are too shy to review / comment, grading is fine. Thanks!)

Very enjoyable. The crowd wasn't quite as rowdy as last year at Warner Theatre, and Eddie was in good form. Usually he botches the more difficult songs like "Guaranteed," but he was spot on last night. There were a few singalongs: "Sometimes," "Hide Your Love Away," "Let My Love Open the Door," "Small Town," and "Hard Sun."

I was in the balcony, row K, so the seats weren't the best, but the acoustics at Lyric Opera House were great! Plus, the show was a bit more meaningful because Chris McCandless's (Into the Wild) sister Carine and her family were in attendance.

Here's the setlist:
Walking the Cow
Brain Damage --> Sometimes
Trouble
Around the Bend
I Am Mine
Far Behind
No Ceiling
Guaranteed
Rise
Picture in a Frame
You're True
Open All Night
Driftin'
You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
Let My Love Open the Door
Parting Ways
Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
Porch
---
Society (w/ Jerry Hannan, the songwriter)
Throw Your Arms Around Me (w/ Liam Finn)
Golden State (w/ Eliza Jane Barnes)
Forever Young
Wishlist
Arc

Hard Sun (w/ Liam and Eliza Jane)

The Tallest Man on Earth set last night was the best thing I've seen since Ghost.


Fantastic!


I (and seemingly a good size chunk of the crowd) knew that it wasn't going to get much better than that and left before John Vanderslice came on.

Ok before you start making assumptions on what I did heres the deal. Someone said theyd pay xyz $$ for a ticket. I told them I had a ticket and would sell them for what they wanted to pay. Its insanely hard to get a ticket to the show and I would never try and sell it for that value. But if someone is offering why should I not help them out.

But youre right - in this economic downturn in NYC I should have thougth of them first and told them i will only sell for face. Btw - you dont have a clue what I paid and what I sold. So dont be so quick to assume that I ripped someone off. And good money to me, might not be good money to you.

Doves were alright.

I went in not knowing any of their material at all; the more rocking upbeat stuff, I liked a lot. The slower stuff got a little coldplay-ish and made me queasy. That housier/spacier song they closed with was probably my fav.

The Belly Up is great! Probably the tiniest venue they'll play on the mini-tour. I think it's a 600-capacity venue, if not a little bit more. There's a REALLY REALLY good sushi spot like, a block away called Masuo's that kicks ass. Please check it out!

I bought a Tortoise ticket but selling it outside shouldn't be an issue if I so decide on FotL.

Was there but totally missed you apparently. I loved it, way better than i expected. Nice to see a band with some personality. Instead of the "We're selling merch" or obligatory Obama comments. The first band was pretty bad however...

Is it me or was that Fleet Foxes show bland and generic (early)? They're one of those bands that if you've seen once, you've seen all of what they have to offer, I guess. On the other hand, both Espers sets killed. New stuff has me looking forward to the October release. FF are in desperate need of new material and more vocal range.

Are you kidding?  Espers might be the most boring band I have ever seen.  Fleet Foxes were great and the new songs sound really good.  I might be wrong, but I think they have already recorded their next album, or at least started to.

Did anyone attend the late show?  Were FF any different?

What I caught of the Xavier Rudd set was a steaming pile of crap. I remember him being a cool novelty solo act but now he's put some awful generic jamband together. Lost my patience after roughly half an hour.



Run for cover was fun. Blondie, Weezer (Rivers impression was spot on!) and Cure cover bands were all really good.

Did they do the full version?  I had a text from Joe about them playing that and "Mogwai Fear Satan"; the last time I saw them, they did a way shortened version of the later.

I don't think I'll ever forget the wall of distortion that hit when they played "My Father My King" at the Ottobar.

Yeah, MFMK was the full version. I think it lasted a good 25 minutes. I think Mogwai Fear Satan is always a few minutes shorter than the album version live. Chris Brokaw sat in on drums for it making for double drummers. Brokaw also began his set with a nice guitar ambient piece that lasted roughly 15 minutes. I prefered that over much of the rest of his set.

One-sentence weekend reviews:
Tracy Chapman was a snoozefest with the exception of a couple bluesier numbers but that was to be expected.

Skygreen Leopards were a big disappointment but the band who played before them, Oblisk, who I'd never heard of were impressive.

Mos Def went on only half an hour late and killed it; too bad I only caught the 2nd half of the show due to standing through  that
letdown of a Skygreen set.

Screen Vinyl Image did their usual dancegaze thing.

Rest of week:
either Espers/KV or De La Soul
Cyndi/Rosie
Trash Can Sinatras
Robert Gordon
either Bat for Lashes or Phish
Woods
death from exhaustion

Trash Can Sinatras started rough. Lots of feedback during the first three songs, but eventually they pulled it off. Great to hear the older songs...not so sure about the new songs...

I enjoyed Bat For Lashes immensely  ;D    great band backing her up esp. the drummer. So into her more danceable songs than the slow ones.

this week: Dungen/Woods at Ottobar, Breeders at Black Cat...anything else I'm missing?

bat for lashes was pretty damn impressive but would have been even better without the incessant chatter.  the missus took it upon herself to shush a few folks - instant entertainment right there.  BfL's set was a tad over 60 minutes, which include the 5 minutes of clapping before the encore - a bit on the short side.  openers, "other lives" were alright but nothing special.  their tired pacific northwest hippie look was borderline annoying.

we were on the floor, left side, front half (but just past half).  it wasn't crowded at all around us, someone could have made it all the way to the front if really wanted to.  we had a good spot where we were and couldn't be bothered to nudge ourselves closer.  did anyone else notice how short the crowd was?!?  i swear that in the first 10-12 "rows" of people, maybe three or four of them were more than 5'6" tall.  it was awesome :)

and azag, you would have complimented the missus perfectly - she complained about the openers (but quietly!).  having you around for BfL would have made it the perfect bitch-fest and would have fully interfered with my ability to enjoy the show :P

Agreed that Bat for Lashes was impressive. I hadn't heard much from her but the live set surpassed anything I had heard online. And yes - the drummer was excellent.

Going to see OLP tonite in order to maintain my Canadian citizenship. I saw them at the Ottawa Bluesfest last month and they really impressed me. They took a lot of flak for the previous two albums and what I heard of Burn Burn is definitely more like the early stuff. Looking forward to it.

how long did the trash cans play in DC? They put on an excellent show in NYC. I liked that you could buy a recording of the show right after the set. They played a good 2 hour set. Paul had this ingenius idea that anytime someone yelled out a song - he'd play a few seconds of it on the guitar. He said he was in a teasing mood, and Frank was wondering what the hell was wrong with him. It was pretty amusing, but rather mean at the same time. I really liked their new stuff, but wished theyd played just a few more of their earlier songs.

seems theyre playing 18-20 songs on all nights -- very cool.

Trash Can Sinatras started rough. Lots of feedback during the first three songs, but eventually they pulled it off. Great to hear the older songs...not so sure about the new songs...

I enjoyed Bat For Lashes immensely  ;D    great band backing her up esp. the drummer. So into her more danceable songs than the slow ones.

this week: Dungen/Woods at Ottobar, Breeders at Black Cat...anything else I'm missing?

where did you see white rabbits?  i think you might have been looking at an old post.  please check the date.  posts aren't deleted, so last week's rollcall (and the week before that, and before that, and...) is still posted here.

did the amps play 9:30? pretty sure it was black cat. there was a breeders show at 930 sometime in 1997, i think the openers were jonathan fire*eater, brendan benson and lutefisk. but that was a while ago, i could be wrong.

No I do not believe there was a Breeders show at the 930 in 1997. ..that was probably the Amps show I was referring to...

I say this because I was a huge Breeders fan at the time and I dont' recall them playing.. I thought it was Kim and Kelley with the Amps

Again I could be wrong.. my mom threw away my ticket stubs when i left them with her so I cannot be sure.........

We haven't talked about how much the OLP show sucked yet. So much of the older material was played so sloppily, it was offensive.
 And on top of that, Raine decided to take much of the night off; staying quiet for as much as half a song at a time while he had the audience sing the lyrics. Joe, you suck just as much for going to Dungen/Woods.

week's roll-call/recap:

tuesday: the roots @ the highline ballroom
amazing, amazing show.  people really need to check this one out if they're in NYC on a tuesday or wednesday night.  it starts late, so you could conceivably do another show.  this week they had henry butler join in for the first half of the show - kick-ass electric blues.  the band's horn section is ridiculous.  i've been to this show three times now, and every time i leave with a huge smile on my face.  and it's only $10!  GET ON THIS, PEOPLE.

wednesday: pet shop boys @ hammerstein
great show, although i slightly preferred the last tour.  PSB still bring the broadway fabu factor to their stage show: dancers, numerous costume changes, and a very creative set that is constantly changing and being used in creative ways.  this show was a little shorter than the previous one, 90 mins vs. 110-120'ish.  folks looking for some entetainment tonight could do worse than this show.  a noticed a few cheap tix on CL...

saturday: !!! @ BC, maybe.

there was quite of bit of chatter but i'm slowly starting to accept that as part of the modern-day concert experience, unfortunately.  where i was - dead center of the floor - the talking was mostly washed out by the music.  the main PA was LOUD, more so than i would have expected as a PSB show.  weird that so may people up front were talking - you'd think that the hardcore fans would be against the rail and enthralled with the show.  predictably there were a lot of gay club-boys in attendance and for many this was more of a party & a celebration more than a show that one concentrates on.  chatter was to be expected, really.

yes, it was an expensive ticket but someone/something has to pay to schlep around all the equipment.

Anyone go to Yo La Tengo last night? I really enjoyed it...though the two girls that got up on stage to dance reminded me of Elaine from Seinfeld trying to dance. A full body dry heave doesn't even begin to describe how bad and out of place they were. I appreciate the thrill of getting on a stage, trust me I've been there, but there a little something called the right time and place. Just awful.

Fun time though. And a special thanks to Thatguy and Eddie! You guys are the best.

Now...anyone going to the Weakerthans show tomorrow? Friends who saw the show in Boston said that there are some good setlist changes that we should look forward to (bastard wouldn't be more specific). And they're still pulling someone from the crowd up to play a solo so all you guitarists should get in the front row.

I had the misfortune of seeing Passion Pit at the Monolith Festival two weekends ago.  I felt like I was watching High School The Musical:  My freshman year at college.  They were awful but the kids age 18-24 seemed to love it.  I quite enjoyed this review of them from the Westword:  "Wow, do people like Passion Pit. Lots of people. The entire upper area that makes up the SoCo stage was absolutely jam-packed with people, and every one of them seemed really excited for Passion Pit. For the life of me, I couldn't really see why. Some of the songs sounded incredibly retro, like they wouldn't be a bit out of place anchoring a John Hughes soundtrack. That wasn't necessarily a killer. No, the killer was the singer's heavy reliance on a caterwauling falsetto that was apparently supposed to communicate emotion and passion, but instead communicated "My Pants are too tight, and I may have injured my sack because of it." Based on fans' reactions, this band clearly inspires excitement, but the vocals seem to be a love/hate proposition, and for me, it was hate. "

unfortunately not, lamed out this weekend - skipped both moby and datarock.  i was just tired on friday, and ended up spending saturday night drinking champagne and wine in a hot tub.  after a couple of drinks in 102 degree bubbly water, motivation to move non existant :)

i did make it to telephon tel aviv - good solid set, a tad dancier than i expected.  level of crowd chatter was almost unbearable.  good show.

Chain and the Gang weren't too bad when they opened for M. Ward. Ian's mid-song chatter got to be a little overkill, though.
Has anyone else seen that super awkward Ian/Kevin Shields interview on vice.tv? It was right after it was announced that MBV were finishing up the follow-up to Loveless.
Parts of that were excruciating.

I went to last night's show.  Soft Power is fantastic.  They pack a hell of a punch live which I wasn't expecting based on the myspace songs they have up.  Didn't have any desire to see Chain and the Gang.

Please let me know how Pink turns out to be...I'm not a huge fan of her new album, but I *do* love her voice.

okay, i have the biggest girl crush on her. loved the show, hated the row of 13 yr olds behind me. when they werent screaming at the top of their lungs, they were talking loudly. wish i had purchased a tic for the NY & PA shows too.

anyhoo, she played for 2 hrs, no encore. had about 4 costume changes. i dont know how she does all that jumping around and manages to sound soo good. she did a few cover songs: bohemian rhapsody, a zeppelin song, crazy (the crowd seemed really confused with this one - they just stood there lol), and her intro sounded like an ac/dc song but i'm not sure. oh, she did a steamy version of "touch myself" too - good stuff. i was very entertained and cant wait for her to come back. i find it interesting that both her and britney had circus themed albums and tours. she didnt go up in the air too much but her dancers did. two of them did the routine that pink performed at the VMAs.

she did a good mix of songs from all albums. she sung the hell out of family portrait and i love dear mr. president. i was hoping to hear fingers but nope. i dont think the crowd was as energetic as it could've been, esp those on the floor. the people in the seats seemed more excited. maybe being monday had something to do with it? it was a very mixed crowd, was surprised to see so many older people.

ting tings were okay, not a band i'd pay to see but i really like that "not my name song" and the lead singer has a ton of energy. i think they played for 40 min? the between band entertainment (showing ppl dancing on the big screen) was funny. whoever chose the songs did a good job. folx really do put on a show for the cameras.

she really is a good singer/performer and doesnt get the recognition she deserves.

oh, some guy booed her after her dear mr president performance and she laughed lol

"I am truly sorry for any inconvenience experienced by those who already purchased tickets for the D.C. and Toronto shows. I sincerely hope you're able to attend at the new venues.
A couple days ago I had a really intense personal experience and it made it very clear to me that I cannot and should not play in religious buildings on this tour. Please understand, I have nothing against religion or temples of any kind. In fact, I love going to churches and hearing music there - but I can't play my music there after what happened the day before yesterday.
The best I can do to describe my experience, is to say that the world opened up to me, and I received it, as Spirit and Love and of course, a lot of fun and pleasure. It was a sexual feeling, and I just didn't feel right about bringing that into a holy place, like a church or synagogue. My choice to move the venues is out of respect for this feeling, for myself and my body, and for the buildings themselves.
Fortunately, even though this was all last minute, we were able to keep the tour more or less intact, and will still play every city or region, as planned. Once again, I'm really sorry for any trouble this causes, but it was something I felt very strongly about. Thank you always for your love and belief in the feelings I work to bring you." - Andrew W.K.

My week:

Monday - I was originally planning to go to the Lebowski Fest at the 9:30 Club... until I realized that it mostly overlapped with my Japanese class.  As it turned out, I was so exhausted from reporting to work at 8 a.m. for my new day job that I could barely make it through class.

(Did anyone here go to Lebowski Fest?  If so, how was it?)

Tuesday - I DJ'd at the Kinky/Nayas show at the 9:30 Club.  (Will post set list sometime soon.)

Friday - Probably going to Moneytown at Dahlak.  Guest DJs include DJs from Fatback and other events.

Saturday - I'm doing the opening set for Daz-I-Kue (of Bugz in the Attic fame) at Eighteenth Street Lounge.

Sunday - D.C. Record Fair earlier in the day, then the Bajofondo show at the 9:30 Club.

I went to that Kinky show. God the club is frigid when it's nearly empty. Good high energy show, though.

Thought about Lebowski fest but laziness got the best of me. A few staffers I asked about it yesterday said it was fun. Almost like a Rocky Horror kind of scene with people yelling out lines from the movie, old dudes dressed in robes and others as different characters from the movie and everyone drinking White Russians.

Anyone going to see Great Lake Swimmers tonite at the Black Cat? I saw them Tues in Philly and thought they sounded fantastic. Julie Fader isn't touring with them at this time, but Melinda Mulholland joined them and did a great job on violin and vox (and is a lovely redhead to boot - personal weakness, sorry!)

I was pleasantly surprised by Wooden Birds (lead by Andrew Kenny, ex of American Analog Set). Every song tended to sound the same but it's not bad for a 30 minute opening set.

Ohhh, then after that I went to 3 days of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass to tone down the gayness of the night before........

kylie minogue on sunday    :D
my sister and I might be the only girls there. ha ha

Weak performance showing up DC re Os Mutantes. You won't get that chance again.

Anyways, great time and a treat... Had not realized how good a guitar player Sergio was.... They played about 5-6 songs from the new album and  Minha Menina, Baby, Ando medio desligado, Bat Macumba, Panis etc... They went on about 9:15 and played til about 11...

The missus and I checked out Brandi Carlile on a whim last night. Never heard any of her stuff before but some friends we trust raved about her. It was well worth checking out. She reminds of a cross between Jenny Lewis and Neko Case. She's got far more range than Lewis and lacks the character of Neko. Also, her songwriting is a tad bit amateurish (but she's only 28). But her voice packs a punch and she's definitely worth seeing. (btw - what the f was up with the lineup for food yesterday? All the way back to the soundboard?)

Now looking forward to Bob Mould on Saturday night. Might even stick around for Blowoff  - haven't been to one of those since the days when it was confined to the Back Bar.

John Lennon didn't turn 28 until 1968, Paul McCartney turned 28 in 1970, Mick Jagger in 1971, and Keith Richards in 1971. I'm just saying.

Ms. Carlile could very well be a late bloomer, but there's also a good chance she's already peaked by 28.

Post by: Captain Jack on October 16, 2009, 08:24:47 am
caught OM and Six Organs  . . . last night, totally fried this morning because of it. Really enjoyed both sets, Six Organs played a very clean acoustic, John Fahey-esque kinda set, no distortion, no effects pedals, very awesome. OM was fucking mesmerizing, solid ass groove, that band is a catalogue of riffs. The dude from Lichens played guitar/keyboards/"eastern" percussion, good vibes. The crowd clapped and chanted into an encore of "Flight of the Eagle" that satisfied. Now I'm trying to figure out a way to call out of work, but its probably too late and I'm awake now.

verizon center website (http://www.verizoncenter.com/events/calendar.php?opts=detail&eid=3051&evtype=special) sez "Doors will open at 7:00 p.m." and "(show) Time: 8:00pm".  so, it'll most probably be something like The Answer at 8 and AC/DC at 8:45 or 9 (probably 9).

unfortunately you won't be able to make the angels... from 930.com:
8pm Doors
9:15pm The Black Angels
10:30pm The Raveonettes

on the upside, you might be able to high-tail it to the club after AC/DC and catch most of the raveonettes.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: azaghal1981 on October 16, 2009, 10:11:17 am
I'm thoroughly convinced that Ben Chasny can do no wrong.

The Lichens solo set was incredible as well.

I wish I could get as into Om as everyone else who was there but just couldn't. The Grails dude is a much better drummer than the OG guy and adds a lot; especially when the Lichens dude (Rob?) was on vocals (I don't remember the last time I heard vocal range like that). It was definitely more engaging than the last time I saw them but I dunno...still not completely there for me. I still found much of the set monotonous. Yeah yeah...I know that's the idea.



P.S. Cali, I'm a guy.


P.S.S. The first Lucero opener, Cedric Burnside and Lightnin' Malcolm were very enjoyable. Solid electric Delta blues.

Have you seen the lineup he's touring Europe with? I'm so jealous. If I was as insane as ixkpd-bk (who toured with an artist I can't understand someone wanting to see but once or twice in a lifetime), I'd have a flight booked and would be working on transportation/lodging for the whole tour right now.

"The tour dates for Europe November-December have been posted at the Drag City Tour Page. This band will consist of myself, Elisa Ambrogio on guitar and
electronics, Alex Neilson on drums, and Andrew Mitchell on guitar."

Anyone going to the Hip show tonite? There's an expat group meeting up at Duffy's before the show, if you're interested.

The last several Hip albums have ranged between mediocre and godawful. But their live shows are still worth seeing. No opener - just two sets of the Hip, with Ottawa homeboy Jim Bryson sitting in on keys.

i'm in SF this week, leaving on friday morning.  i'll be coming here regularly for the next few months so i'd be most grateful for links to online concert calendars, clubs' websites that are worth keeping an eye on, etc.  so far i've been checking pollstar's SF page (http://pollstar.com/resultsCity.aspx?ID=49955&SortBy=Date&SearchBy=san%20francisco), but we all know how reliable and comprehensive pollstar is...

popscene tends to have some good bands on thurs nights. not sure how hard it is to get tix tho as the club tends to be insanely packed.

are you there now? when you leaving SF?

Maybe I'll find a mid-week show here in SF (where should I be checking for local listings?)

anyone?  help?

i'm in SF this week, leaving on friday morning.  i'll be coming here regularly for the next few months so i'd be most grateful for links to online concert calendars, clubs' websites that are worth keeping an eye on, etc.  so far i've been checking pollstar's SF page (http://pollstar.com/resultsCity.aspx?ID=49955&SortBy=Date&SearchBy=san%20francisco), but we all know how reliable and comprehensive pollstar is...

wouldn't it be great if every city had a resource like our "just announced" thread... :)

Andrew Bird/St. Vincent Wed.

The last time I saw Bird was maybe 10 years ago at the old Black Cat. He was playing as Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire. I liked their studio stuff but got bored with the live show and left before it was over.

I'm finally giving him another chance this week. The fact that I like the opener helped me to go deep into the wallet on this one and pay $30 for a show.

Last night's Rain Machine concert Backstage at the Black Cat was freaking awesome. Too bad only about 50 people showed up for it. I guess the TV on the Radio fans didn't get the memo about Kyp Malone's new band? I really thought this would sell out the Backstage easily. I was blown away by Sharon Van Etten who opened the show. She was really captivating. Best opener I've seen in a long time.

That's totally understandable but I was hoping to do Sarah Silverman->WS but those hopes were dashed by a group of clowns (red & black) who don't know how to run a concert venue. Hopefully they'll play Comet or Velvet next time. H St. and DC9 has been pulling in so many shows that they don't deserve to have lately.




Planned to do the Baltimore show until my ride decided not to go. :(

The album is great and the songs were played very well but the mix was muddy to the point where it distracted me all night. The low end cut through everything, distorting the vocals.

By the cash bar; near the front end. Usually it sounds great there but last night, it sounded to me like a bass-heavy mess. The few others around me also noticed it.


Oh and Jon Wurster  seems to be in every band now. :)
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: bearman🐻 on October 28, 2009, 10:16:33 am
I guess you could say Jon is a buddy now...got to hang out with him after the show. He's such a sweet person, and let me tell you, literally one day he was on the Bob Mould tour two days later he's on this tour. VERY little rehearsal, just a few days with Jay & Ben like 2 months ago. He's supremely talented. Plus he's coming back with the Mountain Goats in November.

Post by: eltee on October 28, 2009, 11:14:54 am
Jon Wurster looks like samfresh5. ;)

I think I saw you bearman while talking to Roderick.

I was near azag and thought the same about the sound. The house music sounded fabulous there that's why we planted in that spot. I think we were (at least I was) hoping they would adjust it at least by the third song. The vibrations were heavy on the cash bar side but it didn't seem that way on the other side. I didn't lose the vocals but they were competitive and the low end was too loud all night. Only when Wurster wasn't playing, or as heavy, it was great. (and it wasn't his hands, it was the mix and volume). I adore Ben, and prefer his vocals/songs in the first half. But, Jay's voice and particular songs in the second half were outstanding. It was nice to see them both less polished and involved in a different project.

Does anyone have a stub from last night they don't want? I don't have mine. If you don't want to part from it - would it be cheesey to ask if someone could scan it and send to me? Okay, it's cheesey, but I got the idea from sweetcell. I do keep stubs, but don't have this one and would like to for keepsake. I think the club throws them out right after the show...

And, did anyone take pictures?

Separately, holy cow traffic sucked. And then I got to the club and it was dead outside! Nice show and opportunity - thanks again, seth and twangirl.

I normally wouldn't try to out geek anyone, but since my wife and I started watching Lost on DVD (starting with Season one, like we do every year in anticipation of the new DVD), it's all in my brain.

What Kate Did was when she off'd her father in season 2 (with the black horse on the island).  It wasn't until the third season, with Left Behind, when she met up with Cassidy, who we met in episode 4 of that season.

Listening to Ben/Jay music today - I'm really glad I was able to go to this show. Being able to get up close, in a different and smaller crowd setting, has really enhanced their music for me. (Generally their band shows are sold out so I don't have that experience.)

I thought they were awesome, played a great hits set, but to about 1500 people, which sucked. They came out and 5 people clapped. I heard someone mutter into their mic, "Wow, awesome..." very sarcastically. Eddie came out for a song, but i forget which one.

Tomorrow: The Boss
(anyone know Verizon's / Springsteen's policy on cameras?)

well for the charlottesville show there was absolutely no cameras allowed but people were able to sneak them in.  I'm sure for Verizon it's the same and the security is even worse as they are strict there from the shows I have been to there.  Depends on where your seats are too.

Saw Pearl Jam on Friday, and it was ridiculous! Might be my show of the year. Very glad Saturday was not as star filled or as long as expected. Though, the Spectrum was a hole, one i won't miss...

Pearl Jam played 41 songs for the halloween show, wow  ;D

At the VC during Green Day the no-camera/picture policy was strictly enforced and the staff there were total amateurs about it. What I mean is that they were on EVERY single person every time a phone or blackberry was whipped out. It really put quite a damper on those of us that just wanted to watch the show.

i loved it even with all the rain and cold on friday. i always leave liking at least two new bands. it would've been really bad if they had to stop the show friday, but the rain let up. i was too cold to stick around for eninem and left. i knew it was going to rain so i was somewhat prepared and knew there'd be lots of mud. i spent most of my time at the main stage so didnt have to deal with the mud too much.

highlights for me were: sspu, mutemath, lenny, earl greyhound, wolfmother, and dan dyer. i enjoyed justin's set too (i dont think i've ever made it to a festival that early before). i was surprised at how much i enjoyed alejandro escoveda and brand new (thought they'd be older). this year they had half of the front pit area for vip ppl and the lead guy from brand new was really bothered by it b/c it wasnt as crowded as the GA side for their set.

shooter's set was much better than his club set. he seemed more comfortable and didnt play as many slow songs. i learned i have to be in the mood for the pogues, and i wasnt on sunday. kiss got old after 10 minutes but i was already there and didnt feel like fighting the crowd to get out.

i've heard all this buzz about janelle monae, but i didnt get it. seemed a little forced to me.

there was a good variety of food, music, and vendors plus it's in new orleans and man do those people love halloween. i'm hoping they have it during hallowen next year too.

fuse is supposed to air highlights sometime this week.

they could do a better job of recycling and have a few more restrooms in the loa lounge.

Saw the White Rabbits with Local Natives and Glass Ghost tonight at the El Rey in LA. It was one of the 10 best shows I've seen this year. Each band was exciting, engaging, and brought some of the best pop music of the year to a really (rare) enthusiastic LA crowd.

Well, you did miss some snarky commentary between BookerT and me, but musically, not so much.

I did really enjoy Real Estate, though.  Find them pretty boring from the first song or so, but they won me over by the end of the set.

My short attention span review of the Eccentric Soul Review show....

Local DJ Nitekrawler opened the show with a great set of DC Soul/Funk 45s checkout his website at http://www.dcsoulrecordings.com/index.php

Opening the show and serving as the evening house band JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound got things kicking right off the bat.  They are a up and coming Soul/Funk band who not only have the sound but the songwriting skills which many over-hyped acts seem to lack.  JC Brooks in particular is a very compelling front man with a vocal style that borrows from Little Richard, James Brown with a little rock and roll mixed in.  Do not miss these guys if they ever return to DC.
http://www.myspace.com/theuptownsound

Next up Renaldo Domino who was good but not really compelling, he did a great take on "Tainted Love" sort of a cross between Gloria Jones original and Soft Cell's version.

The Notations were fantastic, solid four part harmonies who easily slipped between Acapella standards, to soul and funk songs.  Highlight of the evening for me.

Last up was Syl Johnson who brought the eccentric to the revue, one could hear the band kick it up a notch prior to him hitting the stage.   Syl who has been sampled but a virtual who's who of Rap and Hip Hop artists, turned in an energetic set in which he did a killer version of "Take Me To The River".  He's make an excellent warm up to Ms Jones at some point.

Here's a reformatted recap I sent on Facebook today:

Pretty great show. Never seen the guy before, but all of the gripes people usually put out (mumbles, can't recognize songs, etc.) weren't an issue in the least. Sure he sounds like he's doing a bad Tom Waits impression at times, but that was a pretty killer set, I thought. Knew more songs than I was expecting...and that open combo was sweet. Dude seemed to be into it too; lots of miming at the mic and even a few songs with him on guitar.

Here's a setlsit I found online.  Can't vouch for it 100%, but it has all of songs I knew in the right order:

         1. Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again
         2. Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
         3. Man In The Long Black Coat
         4. Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum
         5. If You Ever Go to Houston
         6. High Water (For Charley Patton)
         7. Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)
         8. Forgetful Heart
         9. Cold Irons Bound
        10. Workingman's Blues #2
        11. Highway 61 Revisited
        12. Ain't Talkin'
        13. Thunder On The Mountain
        14. Ballad Of A Thin Man
        Encore:
        15. Like A Rolling Stone
        16. Jolene
        17. All Along The Watchtower

Any reports on the Dylan show last night?  Looked like a good list, esp. the Cold Irons Bound

Had not heard much of it honestly, but to be honest, it was less the music and more "the show." They went on late, all looked like a drunken or drugged out mess, spent five minutes between songs deciding what to play next, Edward kept telling people he wanted to make love to the whole room, each and every one of us...

I could go on, and this might be his thing every night, but it is not my thing. Way too hippy for me. And while the music ranged from eh to ok, I can't for the life of me understand why the show was sold-out and people knew the words to most of his songs.

hahah that sounds awesome. i guess its not for everyone. must be my california upbringing esp living in the bay area where all that stuff was far too common. this should be an awesome time. ill be one of them singing along. great, awesome stuff.

Thurs. 11/19 - Going to the opera, and probably missing the Jesus Lizard as a result.  However, I wasn't into them back in the day, so I don't think this counts as a tragic loss.

Sat. 11/21 - Going to Eighteenth Street Lounge to see Robert Luis (co-head of the excellent British label Tru Thoughts) and Lanu (a Tru Thoughts artist who's also in the bands The Bamboos and Cookin' on 3 Burners).

Sun. 11/22 - Little Dragon at Bohemian Caverns

Mon. 11/23 - Bebel Gilberto at the 9:30 Club

damn - we didnt get that during our show. They played for maybe close to an hour before Alex was complaining about his throat and he had to leave because he needed his voice for tonights show.

It was an awesome show. Alex has such charisma and stage presence. As I told a friend last night I felt like I had this religious transformative experience. They reminded me of the Polyphonic Spree - but that felt like even more of a love-in. Jade has a great voice and she was really cute dancing all around the stage. Has an amazing voice. I loved all the singing along and how the audience yelled out all the songs they wanted to hear. Jade even said 'now its time for Freebird'.

Anyway - great show and I had a really great time.

The openers were also really great. Really liked Local Natives (was sad I missed them at CMJ, so it was good they were back). Liked Fools Gold, but not nearly as much and found their
music a bit repetitive.

i caught royksopp in SF last week - great show, tons of fun, very bouncy and a great crowd.  i wouldn't say it was "get on a bus/train/plan must-see" great, but damn solid.  NYC'ers should definitely make an effort to catch it.  the norwegian contingent was out in full force and you can imagine what a SF EDM show smells like once the band hit the stage.  they played most of the new album and a good smattering of older stuff.  not much of a stage show but still a lot of fun to dance to (video from a'dam: you haven't got a clue (http://vimeo.com/groups/royksopplive/videos/7601486))

i got in the show by way of an old-school deadhead-style miracle.  TM showed tickets available up until noon day of show, but sold out just hours beforehand.  i went to the venue as soon as the box office was supposed to be open, but it didn't - and i had more work to finish before the show so i left for the hotel.  by the time i came back there were at least 30 people hanging around outside the venue looking for tickets.  through the magic of pure luck, perseverance and the one-finger-in-the-air, i snagged one of the very few extras that showed up.  my streak of getting in to any show i want remains intact.

Neither show sold out here for Royksopp. Theres so many shows going on (as if there isnt always), that Im not that surprised. Friends that went last night said it was really great show and theyre playing almost all their singles. Will be lots of fun, Im sure.

Btw - I randomly came across you and Sharon Jones again. Good times!

Trying to decide between Sloan and DMST/Years/Charles Spearin on Tuesday. What the hell has happened to Sloan that makes them play a freaking coffee shop? (OK - it could be a few mediocre releases in the recent past). *sigh* Still, leaning towards Sloan simply because I can't tolerate the lack of public transportation options in the H St area.

But I will venture out there for Land of Talk at the RnR Hotel on Thursday. I thought their album "Some Are Lakes" was one of the best albums from last year. Elizabeth Powell is one hell of a guitar player.

Yup - they played to a half full mainstage at the Cat. They're at Jammin Java tonite. Ugh. See y'all there. By the way, the openers (Magneta Lane) are worth seeing. I believe their producer is Moe Berg (from The Pursuit of Happiness).

At this point I'd dig "Twice Removed" start to finish.

Part of Sloan's problem is Andrew, he is deffo their weakest link with his songwriting and not always consistent drumming.  Jay is the most consistently good songwriter but only gets one or two songs per album.  Leaving Patrick and Chris to duke it over which RAWK band they want to emulate.

Meh. I've seen MUCH better from them. Murphy's stage presence was toned down from previous shows. Might've been the venue but more likely a result of having his collarbone broken. Setlist consisted of "almost hits" and new stuff. Sparse crowd.

Brendan Benson:  I asked at the box office, and it will def not sell out.  I bought a ticket to make sure I get my ass to the club.  Really enjoying his new album.  It's a bit of a retread, but when it's good material, I don't mind much.  He puts on a really solid show, so I'm looking forward to it.  His tunes have Bags written all over them.

Arctic Monkeys:  I was there and thought the show was really good.  They have this ability to use a backdrop, low light sets at the back of the stage, dry ice smoke and strobe lights to create an entirely new atmosphere.  Barely even felt like the 9:30 Club, which is awesome when you've been to about 500 shows already...  I don't listen to the albums much (I have no idea why), so I was surprised at how involving the show was.  Good stuff.  Missed you Bearman, no doubt in the rush to get to my car in the rain! 

Re the crowd -- yes it was hot, but NOT very crowded.  Lots of room in back and even midway up.  Very 'loose' crowd.  Strange since it was a pricey sell-out (ie, not one you'd think many folks would just blow off).  I can't figure it out.  For Them Crooked Vultures I couldn't even get back on to the floor from the restroom.  Crazy.

Sloan:  I agree with xCanuck, it was an okay Sloan show.  Though there was one VERY bright spot -- I had a meeting after work I couldn't miss so ran late.  Showed up halfway through the third song, went up about 5 'rows' back to my friends who were there, and within a minute got a wink, nod and smile from Murphy.  Finally!  After all those shows up front, all the after show meet & greets, I get some Sloan love & recognition.  Awesome (I think most folks know how I love them; a couple years ago they played Black Cat on my birthday and I bought tickets for all my friends and had a crew of about 20....).

I think Murph is in low key mode these days, no doubt based on his injury and possibly the notion of playing to 150 people in a coffee shop.  I also agree that Jay writes great songs, though I don't love his singing.  And Andrew can be a drag...  On the way home my friend and I decided we may need to travel to Canada to see a great, big, energetic Sloan show again.  Best Sloan show I've seen?  When they opened for Jet (awful) in NYC.  Just awesome, all over the place, crazy energy and way way fun. Maybe they get sufficient love in their homeland...

Me: Sorry for the long post; making up for not being around much.  Hope all are well!  ;)

That was a throughly enjoyable evening of music, it so nice to get hear musicians doing timeless music and not what happens to be trendy at the time.

Very much enjoyed the opening set by Cory Chisel and The Wandering Sons, it's not very often that I wished an opener player longer, because I would have dug hearing more from this group.  I rather enjoy bands that are able to bring rock, pop and twang influences together without veering off to deep into alt-country or straight ahead rock.  They reminded me of early Blue Rodeo....

What can I say about Brendan Benson in a world littered with bandwagon jumping indie bands, it's nice to know that he stills rocks those catchy songs live.  Nice mix of new and old songs with a solid band behind him.  In four years time he'll probably release another great album of timeless sounding tunes, when most people will have already forgotten about Passion Pit.

It also landed on me like a ton of bricks during his set that "Garbage Day" may well be the song of the year.  With that kickin' Funk Brothersesque rhythm track and Motown string arrangement,  it easily crushes other contemporary soul efforts.  Made me think that a Brendan Benson and JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound would be an excellent concert pairing....

That Brendan Benson set was incredibly fun and well-played. Should've went upstairs to check out some of the opener. Ahh well.


Pleasure chatting it up with you as always, Kosmo.

P.S. Fuck Passion Pit.

Last night's Brendan Benson show was easily one of my favorites of the year. Lord, that man can craft beautiful songs and he's got such a talented band behind him. A nice way for me to close out 2009 at the Club.

any good shows next week? I don't see a single show I'd like to see.

nope, nothing on my concert calendar - which is sorta motivating me to go see ASDiG, then again it's far and i'm tired... EDIT: there is screen vinyl image at the red & black next thursday, dunno if that works for you.

I'm very partial to the Features enjoyed seeing them several years ago,  put out a couple better than average records.  Best described as Garage Rock,  they did recording with Brendon benson for his latest.

And it was a pretty good show. Most packed I think I've ever seen the R+B. Sound difficulties abound, but to be expected when violins (Young Republic) and female harmonies (ASDIG) are required, especially at this venue, which is simply too small and too "rustic" to handle bands like these.

Young Republic were good, but very Spoon/Walkmen sounding. VERY. The vocal mixing during ASDIG was great, even though some of the songs sounded a bit alike by the end of the set.

Also I am probably opening this show on Thursday, so come out early if you were planning on going.  I will either be DJing some tracks i am working on for a shoegaze/electronic mixtape i have been working on, or will be using my drum machine and guitar and playing a short set with the keyboard player from my band. 

Demo track, this one a Foals remix, more of the house side of me, as opposed to my usual DNB:

Roots tonight. I've only seen them once, and it was a shortened festival set. They were incredible, so I'm psyched for the 9:30 show tonight.

i've seen the roots 3 or 4 times this year.  they had a late-night residency at the highline ballroom in NYC called "the jam" (b/c they'd have guests every night), also known as "the 10 dollar bill show" (b/c that's what it cost).  easily the best entertainment value around - they killed it every night, whether they were playing their own stuff or backing up someone else.

with an 8:30 start and no opener, i'm hoping we get a nice long set from them.

strange that i'll be paying more to see them tonight then i have for all other shows this year combined.

Yup really pumped up for this one!  I'm working on a set consisting of primarily instrumental tracks fortified with Hammond B3 for between bands.

I was checking out the opener's material last night and their studio tracks are bit too in the vein of Mark Ronson's production style for my liking.  Maybe live it will be a different vibe...

Still buzzin from the night's event, heard that one the Dap-Kings was enjoying what I was spinning but couldn't get into the DJ booth due to the coat check line.

i'm not saying this show was necessarily my "best show of the year" - i am however saying that it is the current front-runner, and any other aspirants to that crown will be judged against tonight (cognizant that we're only one month in(.  i'm also saying "hi smackie" and "i'll probably hate you in the morning, smackie".

seriously, phoenix live is the real deal.  i walked in there with huge expectations, and they thoroughly blew them out of the water.  this stuff is worth traveling up to NYC for (not that i'm hoping i next have to... a make-up show at the club would be awesome!).

Nouvelle Vague was the prefect way to spend a Saturday night with.  Lots of fun and a group that didn't take themselves to seriously at times.  Great and very versatile band, one minute it's a samba take on "Ever Fallen In Love" and then it's a 60's girl group take on "Blister In The Sun". And I actually prefer their live version of "To Drunk To Fuck", it's become a sassy romp with a twist of irony. 

Anyone know the second to last song they did tonight?

Zbigniew Karkowski played one of the worst excuses for a set I've ever seen last night. Luckily, the opener duo's set was worth the price of admission. T-Model Ford is a badass. 2 and a quarter hours with no breaks and his vocals/guitar playing seemed to get stronger as the night went on. Sounded like he was having a ball. Shirks were good as always. Has Velvet ever been mobbed like that?

I'm going to see Pinetop Perkins tomorrow night at the State.. blues guy who was in Muddy Waters' band for a long while..

I saw him do a few songs at the Kennedy Center a few years ago.

Anyways, very much looking forward to it.. I just can't believe I'm going to see somebody who is 96 years old!

Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: azaghal1981 on March 10, 2010, 09:37:05 am
I thought Caspian were kind of a letdown. Couldn't hear much variation between songs and eventually, they all started blending together. Oddly enough, I thought they sounded great on record.



Tone were more enjoyable and diverse. Didn't they have two drummers at one point?
Title: Re: This week rollcall

If anyone cares, Rival Schools were great last night.  They did an hour of old tunes, two new ones (69 Guns and Big Waves) and the Quicksand cover version of How Soon is Now.  I have been a fan of Walter's since the early 90's, and it was awesome to finally see one of his bands perform live.  The new record sounds like it is going to be good as well.  Also he mentioned they should be back around for another show when the record drops in the summertime.

I wasn't a big fan of them coming into the show. I was totally amazed by their set. Very enjoyable. I'm still trying to figure out what song where they whistling in though.


For me this week it's Boston time.

Friday- PAX East

Saturday- Freezepop @ Cafe 939

    The Main Drag/ Anarchy Club/ The Konks/ That Handsome Devil/ Death of the Cool @ Middle East Downstairs later that night

I'd give the Anvil show a solid A.
All three members were a delight to watch, esp. Reiner (the drummer).
They made me smile the whole time...

Man Man/Ed Schrader last night...Man Man were great as usual.

Tonight is Joanna Newsom and maybe Spoon

Thursday is Gang Gang Dance or Male Bonding/Dum Dum Girls
Friday is Shearwater/Wye Oak, then Imperial China
Saturday is Woods/Real Estate/Surf City or Vivian Girls/Wet Dog
Sunday is the XX/jj

Very Good Show. First half=B, Second half=A. Highlights for me were Don't Make Me a Target and Jonathan Fisk. Way too loud up front on the wall under the speakers. Note to self: Stand toward the back at all future 9:30 Club rock shows.

Deerhunter was horrible. Or maybe just not my thing. My wife's review (paraphrased): "Is the singer sick, or did his parents put him on formula the day he was born? A band that ugly needs to come up with some better songs."
Title: Re: This week rollcall

Deerhunter's lead singer has this. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marfan%27s_syndrome) Nice job on your wife's part mocking someone for something they can't control. Sounds like you got yourself a winner there.

But yeah, they were boring for the most part.

Rhett - Thanks for asking about Nada Surf ticket availability, I can't afford to buy online and hoping they might be available at door?

Also, Temper Trap is sold out. (a show I wished for and pursued even when Joe Grumpy tried to shoot down the idea!;))  Hm. What time do headliners start w/ 7 pm doors/3 bands? It's been awhile since I've been to a 3 band show.

Sorry dude but you picked the wrong time to get sick of Wilco.  The show in Bethesda last night was 37 songs, and did include "nothing'severgonnastandinmyway(again)" and a killer mid-show acoustic set.  That was probably my favorite of the roughly 20 times I've seen Wilco.

Yeasayer was fantastic.  They played the entire new record and 3-4 from the first one.  I love their new record so I was really happy to hear all the new material.

I thought they were much better than they were after the first record and their growth as a band in that time was really apparent.

Tonight at DC9 Serena-Maneesh and The Depreciation Guild
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: killsaly on April 08, 2010, 04:38:27 pm
Did anybody else go to Serena-Maneesh last night?  The Depreciation Guild were good as usual (though whoever had commented last time that they were too wall of noise guitar sounding and the Famicon stuff faded into the background would probably still not have liked it, as the synths/bass were running on a laptop and definitey background to the guitars.)

I was wondering about SM.  I watched about five or so songs and had to leave (I was tired plus i didnt have my earplugs and they were WAY loud) and wanted to know how the end of their set was.  They had a great energy and were fun to watch, just not with out ear plugs, as i want to save my hearing a bit.  My only complaint about the sound was the keyboardist/drum pad player seemed to be turned down way low.  The opening track (of the album and the set) has a very distinct drum sound that you could tell he was triggering, but couldnt hear.

You have a good point, but this is probably the last time to see Mastodon perform Crack the Skye in its entirety, and I missed the two other chances to catch that when it was here.

I like that I'll be seeing Baroness on the west coast on Friday and then on east coast just 4 days later.

that's a shame. the three times i've seen them i was more then impressed, especially during their 2006(?) set at the blackcat which blew me away. their sound doesn't necessarily lend well to big pavilions but they still managed to grab the audiences attention at nissan and imo, they were great but to each his own.  i'm still bummed out i missed their last show at the 9:30 club due to the ice storm. i only could imagine how they would've sounded on that stage :(

Post by: heather on April 27, 2010, 11:02:29 am
i went last night and was at that RNRH show last year, and RNRH was far better.  even though i was front row last night, there was that inevitable loss of intimacy being in the larger room.  i?m not sure how well the show translated higher up & farther back, but the band seemed to have pretty good command of the stage.  it was fun watching thomas run around the stage, climb into the boxes, and out into the crowd.  show was short?maybe an hour and a half.  there were lots of younguns; i could rant about the drunk ass sitting next to me who elbowed me HARD on the top of my head and screamed ?partytime? incessantly, but i?ll bite me tongue.

looking forward to frightened rabbit tonight.

Post by: sweetcell on April 27, 2010, 11:44:49 am
phoenix was amazing.  they're such a great live band, great stage presence, cute and humble to boot.  crowd was really in to the show and everyone was dancing around me.  The 930 got a shout-out: Thomas said that they loved the 930 but that performing in this bigger space was the right decision (let more people attend the show).  they did their usual gimmicks of thomas climbing and running around the room, and having the crowd pour on stage for the finale while the band sneaks out the back.

i wasn't at the RnR so i can't compare.  one thing i've fairly certain of is that from where i was sitting (front half of orchestra), the sound was better at DAR.  i say this based on the fact that i've never heard RnR sound good, and last night DAR was downright impressive from our spot.  no idea what it sounded like at the back of the hall.  intimacy of the RnR might have been nice, but i appreciated the energy and facilities that DAR provided (space, better sound, stuff for thomas to climb on, etc).  less scene points, better show?  :P

I was disappointed that they didn't have that arab-lookin' drummer they've used in the past.  Turns out he's the highlight of the band as far as instrumental ability, even though he's not officially in the band.  The drummer they had last night didn't get near that level of technical ability or energy

i wasn't paying particular attention to the drummer, but i thought he did just fine.  phoenix isn't exactly rush or the who.... 

it was his first time playing with phoenix, maybe he was nervous and/or holding back.  it looked like it was the same drummer from the opening band, Two Door Cinema Club (who were really good, by then way).

If it wasn't the same drummer, it definitely wasn't the same show. I'm sure it was great, but he truly did have some of the most amazing natural musical ability that I've seen by a backing musician in a long time. Thanks for the updates!

I thought it was great. First show at Shithole Hall in about 3 years. From the sixth row sound was very good....

Security was out of hand hassling people about videos/cameras.. I mean they were detracting from the show... Not that I care but never seen such long lines for alcohol..it was insane.

Thomas said something about how drummer couldn't make it but I would guess he'll be at future shows...

Seth should book them at Merriweather this fall.. Lots of people I know got shut out on tickets and didn't want to deal with Craigslist.

Enjoyed getting on stage with band.... That Guy was there too..

Of course I wish I'd seen them at RNRH but you can't win them all.

Oh and it was nice to see a crowd really into a show in DC....

I prefered this drummer.  His use of the hi-hat was less disco-y than on the album.  He was the drummer with the first band, or so the lead singer said, wasn't sure if he was joking as he flubbed the start of one of the songs.  I liked the show, great sound, though I couldn't really make out the bassist's keyboard lines.

the frightened rabbit show was quite good.  it was the first time i'd seen them, and as a newish/casual FR fan, it was a treat hearing those midnight organ fight songs live.  it was more than worth the effort and $18.  enjoy the show!  (wish i could muster a better review, but i?m workin on 2 hrs of sleep? and i hate writing reviews.)

Thanks Heather!  I have tickets for May 19 and am looking forward to it.  I think you are about the same FR fan that I am - I have never seen them live, only recently got back into them, and was really hoping to hear a lot of Midnight Organ over the new stuff, though I like both albums.  I was excited about the show before, but now I'm really looking forward to it.

I would also like to point out that The Fillmore offered a 4 pack for this show which reduced the costs by about a third.  I was so impressed that I bought 4 tickets at $16.70 each ($24.60 with surcharge) rather than $22.50 each ($32.50 with surcharge) and even if I have to give the 4th ticket away, it will be worth it to me and the venue (for those bad at maths, I spent $98.40 on four tickets instead of $97.50 on three, and the venue will have one more drinker in the house).  Just sayin....

unfortunately that argument doesn't hold water... what if you were to give that ticket to a non-drinker/underage?  no alcohol revenue, and no ticket revenue.

Anyone going to see The Album Leaf tonight at RNR?

did you make it to this, hoya?  if so, how was it?

i'm currently listening to the new album and kicking myself for not going to the show.  i had plans, but i should have dropped them. 

I did.

Show started late and I saw all of Sea Wolf, who I hadn't heard before and liked.  Sounded a bit like Matt Pond PA.  Lead singer was in Irving, who put out some fun psych-pop.

I caught maybe half of Album Leaf, who were REALLY good, but were putting me to sleep.  I wish RNR had brought the couches down from upstairs and plopped them in front of the stage.  The light bars they had around the stage were pretty cool.

Sound was pretty horrible for Sea Wolf (vocals all fucked up) and the Album Leaf guys kept complaining to the sound guy about the mix, but it didn't sound as bad as the opener.

You just described two groups I've given up on - those that don't drink and underage girls.

You sort of discount all of the benefits though.  What if that underage person had never been to the 9:30 and had the time of their life?  A new customer was born.  What if they'd never seen said band and became a fan?  They would return to see them next time they were in town.  What if they were crowd surfing and fell into the arms of an awaiting Thatguy?   That's a love story in the making.  True story too.

RNRH will never sound good because, you know, it takes some care on the part of the club owners to make a room acoustically sound, get a decent PA and hire/keep a good soundguy. The H St. invaders don't believe in a positive show-going experience for their clientele so long as they keep getting their money.

this was an OK show, caribou's music is so diverse that it's hard to have a really cohesive set.  i wish they would have stuck to the newer electronic stuff, the psych-rock stuff didn't really connect for me.

toro y moi showed flashes of something, but still needs some work with the full band set-up ... i think he would have been better with just him and a synthesizer

the sound was also horrible for the opener, top levels clicking and crackling the whole time, sounded like a speaker was blown ... no such problems for caribou, so i'm guessing it had something to do with toro's equipment

According to the Super Furry Animals fan group I'm a part of, Guto Pryce is playing bass on this US tour, so I imagine that means there will be a full band.

On that note, anyone know how strict the Velvet Lounge is about the 21+ age limit? I'm a few months short of 21, but I want to check this show out. Should I even bother trying?

Not sold out but nice and full by the time they came on.  It was nice being at the club when it wasn't just filled to the gills.

I thought it was pretty great actually.  Just around 2 hours, never got boring, and actually got better and better as it went along.  Highlight for me was Religion.

sorry, i had a deadline this morning so i've been busy...

the club was comfortably full.  one could walk to the bar and make their way back to the center of the floor with minimal disruption, and always find space.  a few minutes before the band went on, it was possible to get a balcony rail spot.  wish more shows were like this.  average age of the crowd was pretty high, at 36 i felt on the young side.

show was great, borderline excellent. 

i wish i could be there just to see johnny forgotten throw a bitch fit at the size of the crowd.

noting the typical DC-doesn't-dance vibe, johnny said "you know, you don't have to stand like lamp posts all night".  but instead of getting petulant, it seemed to motivate him to put on a better show.  i wasn't expecting that from him.  he was swigging from a bottled of Courvoisier VS, as far as i could tell, and would gargle the drink before gulping it down :)

the guitarist (Lu Edmonds) played several different guitar-like instruments, including something that looked like a banjo that he played with a violin bow.  it was pretty cool to watch.  they played to backing tracks on at least a few songs.

apparently johnny was hanging out in adams morgan the other night (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/reliable-source/2010/05/hey_isnt_that_johnny_rotten.html).  and there was a video camera filming johnny during the show last night as well.

npr stream: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126561683 - i suspect this show will only make for a so-so listening experience.  definitely something you wanted to be there for (vs. other shows that stand on their own as a recording...)

I thought PiL were great as well. Not as good as the Coachella set, but still fantastic nonetheless. The band still seemed tight as can be, despite Lu being sick.

Jonny was pretty talkative as usual, and threw in a brief bit of political banter towards the middle of the set. He told us to "enjoy the Sun while we can, because it's the only thing they haven't put a tax on".

The average age of the crowd was pretty high - I'm 21 and the friend I brought along was 20, and we the youngest ones around for sure. Pretty mellow crowd for the most part, although it surprised me that towards the front in the center, a small mosh pit broke out during the encore.

here is a setlist:

This Is Not A Love Song
Poptones
Memories
Tie Me to the Length of That
Albatross
Death Disco
Flowers of Romance
USLS 1
Disappointed
Sun
Black Rubber Bags
Chant

Religion was a highlight for me too, I though USLS 1 sounded incredible too. Big, heavy bass and I agree about how nice it was to have a lot of room but there was still a healthy turnout. I enjoyed the Buzzcocks show more (I know, apples and oranges) but PIL did a good job of making you feel like you weren't totally ripped off. Good show.

PIL was a fantastic show.  Nice turnout.  John was a lot of fun to watch in between gulps and gargles of cognac.  What was that twirling contraption Lu Edmonds was using to play guitar?  I want one.  The back to back to back of Religion-Public Image-Rise was the perfect way to end the night, with Religion being my favorite song of the night.  I was thrilled to finally get the chance to see PIL and I thought they delivered. Time to move back from 1979 to 2010.

Last night's Velvet show was a great way to spend a Thursday Night.  I missed the first band, but caught the rest.  The Vacant Lots played some boogie psych as a two piece with a way young looking drummer.  They had some long ass songs.  Screen Vinyl Image were next and were great as always.  I heard a couple tracks that I didnt recognize and loved them.  Finally Spectrum took the stage.  It wasnt as late as some predicted, but it was late enough that I had to leave before they were finished.  I was very impressed with what I did see, and now I need to go get some more Spectrum music for my collection.  I thought it was a great set up, with Sonic Boom on a shit Yamaha keyboard, pedals, and a guitar (which I didnt know the kind,  Looked a bit like a weird shaped Mustang with 4 single coil pick ups), a bass player, a twelve string player and a drummer.  Im glad I was able to go and the atmosphere at the place was nice as always.  A bit more packed than other shows I have been to there, but not by much.  Also, as a rock poster collector, I thought it was great that Sonic signed all of their beautiful screen printed posters. 

Im still confused as to the whole MGMT collab.  It seems like even an odder pairing after seeing him live.

It was at DC9. You didn't miss much, honestly. He has this singer/songwriter act going for him now which is nowhere as interesting as the instrumental minimalism he's known for. It's a shame; that set he played opening for EITS at the club a little over three years ago blew me away. That's all I vividly remember from that night. Oh and I also remember the Paperchase sucking.

Post by: vansmack on May 20, 2010, 01:01:03 pm
the frightened rabbit show was quite good.  it was the first time i'd seen them, and as a newish/casual FR fan, it was a treat hearing those midnight organ fight songs live.  it was more than worth the effort and $18.  enjoy the show!  (wish i could muster a better review, but i’m workin on 2 hrs of sleep… and i hate writing reviews.)

Thanks Heather!  I have tickets for May 19 and am looking forward to it.  I think you are about the same FR fan that I am - I have never seen them live, only recently got back into them, and was really hoping to hear a lot of Midnight Organ over the new stuff, though I like both albums.  I was excited about the show before, but now I'm really looking forward to it.

I would also like to point out that The Fillmore offered a 4 pack for this show which reduced the costs by about a third.  I was so impressed that I bought 4 tickets at $16.70 each ($24.60 with surcharge) rather than $22.50 each ($32.50 with surcharge) and even if I have to give the 4th ticket away, it will be worth it to me and the venue (for those bad at maths, I spent $98.40 on four tickets instead of $97.50 on three, and the venue will have one more drinker in the house).  Just sayin....

Saw Frightened Rabbit last was night and was very impressed.

It also had one of those concert "moments" when you know you're seeing something special.  To start the encore Scott played "Poke," an acoustic diddy he's done before.  The majority of the crowd was singing along, then eerily, at the bridge, it was so silent you could hear a pin drop, and even he noticed it.  After a bit of shock, you could hear an exhale throughout the crowd and then a loud cheer.  It was something else to see.

It was also an interesting crowd - a ton of young people and ton of old people.  Then I read later that a Canadian jazz band teacher brought his whole school band to the show (they were in SF on tour). (http://blogs.sfweekly.com/shookdown/2010/05/last_night_frightened_rabbit_a.php)  So I guess you were right Sweetcell - the 4 pack of tickets was used mostly used to bring underage kids into the club, but they had the experience of a lifetime.  I saw that kid on his buddies shoulders with his shirt off and he reminded me of me back in the day...he'll return to the Fillmore some day.

Bombay, the fun of Iota is you can hang with the band after the show (and it's a Saturday).  I've done that a bunch of times.  That said, I've got this insane soccer day Saturday, so not sure I can drag myself to Iota after bus to Philly for US/Turkey game, the game, bus back to RFK for DC United game, that game.  I do have Sunday to rest, but I'm not sure I'll make it...  ;)

Small?  While 500 people (max) might seem small, they're playing Amoeba at noon that day!  Too bad they're giving wrist bands to those that bought the CD and you know my thoughts on tangible media.

I think they're doing the Independent just to reward Smackie.  The last two times I saw them was at the Fillmore (after smaller venues) so this must be a special treat for the SF fans.  The Independent is quite notorious for doing stuff like this - a Silversun Pickups show comes to mind the week after they played Bill Graham - they give you about a weeks notice.

BoH is playing the Greek over in Berkeley in Sept.

I also really enjoyed Besnard Lakes.

Did anyone else find it odd that the show was sold out, but there was tons of space in the room?

Also, I know crowds usually dwindle some during a show, but there were probably 30 people at most still in the room for the encore.

Maybe the opening act has a big local following or something and many people left after them.

Oh, I wouldn't want to put that as a challange to them! Besides, Soundpool isn't quite as noisey as Ceremony and SVI. It would be easy for them to ruin yet another good thing.

Too early, in fact! Have obligations during the day and then trying to fight rush hour traffic and commuting from another city just makes it too crazy. Would also mean no quick dinner either. And then there's still dealing with feeling like crap in the wee hours of the next morning. I hate early shows so much more than late ones! Not only are they buzz kills but always much, much harder for me to work into my schedules.

So overall not a bad night out.  Missed Hooray for Earth, but I'm not too broken up about it.  I like TPOBPAH much better on record than Surfer Blood, but it was the exact opposite live.  In fact, "Swim" was almost a low point in their set...the rest of the songs sounded good live.  Maybe they've worked on their live chops since that review James posted.

TPOBPAH, for such punchy songs, really didn't catch me at all.  The singer just doesn't have a strong voice live, and it left me a little lukewarm on their whole set.  Still enjoyable, but it definitely lost something in the translation.

Not sure...both bands on album are kind of just OK, but since I had other friends interested (and my wife OK'd the time out  ;D) I kind of jumped on the chance to see the show.  No clue how either are live.

Yeah, he's been chatting with me about it.  I think it's probably due to two factors:

1) I really didn't think the Surfer Blood album was all that great, so my expectations were pretty low.  With TPOBPAH, I dig their sound on record, and it seemed to me a no-brainer that they'd be more fun live.

2) I haven't been to a show since the Jesus Lizard.  I could've even stomached watching Broken Social Scene live and would've had a good time :)

Joe's review was pretty much the opposite of yours.

All three bands played really well. Soundpool are more of a shoegaze/rock band in a live setting than their most recent effort lets on. SVI keep getting better. Ceremony pierced many eardrums and sounded great doing it. It was my first time hearing bands in that room and if you think the PA sounds good when a DJ is spinning, you will be blown away once you hear a live band on there. Everything is so clear. Even the smallest details. 930 has some serious competition for best sound in town.

With you, though I think I enjoyed TPOBPAH less than you did.  All the songs had exactly the same tempo, feel...it was kind of a snoozer as a live show. I was thinking the vocals needed to be higher in the mix, but maybe it's just a weak voice.

So overall not a bad night out.  Missed Hooray for Earth, but I'm not too broken up about it.  I like TPOBPAH much better on record than Surfer Blood, but it was the exact opposite live.  In fact, "Swim" was almost a low point in their set...the rest of the songs sounded good live.  Maybe they've worked on their live chops since that review James posted.

TPOBPAH, for such punchy songs, really didn't catch me at all.  The singer just doesn't have a strong voice live, and it left me a little lukewarm on their whole set.  Still enjoyable, but it definitely lost something in the translation.

Not sure...both bands on album are kind of just OK, but since I had other friends interested (and my wife OK'd the time out  ;D) I kind of jumped on the chance to see the show.  No clue how either are live.

nkotb can answer this......he is seeing that pitchfork band, Surfer Blood......

Any body know if the openers for the Pains are worth catching at BC wednesday?

I thought it was great.  I skipped out on SVI (too long of a day by that point), but had already seen them a few times this year and will see them a couple more before the end.  I wish each band would have got a few extra songs, as I had never seen Ceremony or Soundpool before.  Soundpool was funky, Ceremony loud.  Thank goodness I had my earplugs with me.  Any time a Ceremony song comes across on shuffle, I have to turn it down, as it always is way louder than what ever song was before. 

My only complaint was the room was a bit big for the ammount of people watching it (looked like about 20) and the back stage at BC would have been more size appropriate.  I agree the sound system was pretty dope, clear highs and lows you can feel.  Ill definitely go back as it was nice, and the staff were really friendly. 

Az, I probably saw you, what do you look like?

Any time a Ceremony song comes across on shuffle, I have to turn it down, as it always is way louder than what ever song was before.

As you know, I've got music from Ceremony on Air Atlantic Underground Radio. Any time I want to add another song from them to the station, I always have to run it through Audacity first and lower the gain before I can upload it otherwise I have that extreme difference in sound levels between songs. Same with Skywave's music (which is 2/3rds Ceremony). That's okay in isolation but not slapped up next to some other band. Weirdly, I often have to run the 90s Shoegaze through to increase the gains because of how the standard recording practices were back then.

Still stinging from having to miss that show. Just too many scheduling conflicts to make it. The worst being that it was just too blamed early!!! Could have done it tonight or tomorrw night, but no, the show had to be early, last night. Oh, well. At least I've seen each band several times before. Hopefully, several more times again sometime in the future. Love all three of them! Hope they got some new fans.

yeah, i thought the show was pretty damn good.  dunno where you were but people around me were definitely dancing during the whole show, it was relatively impressive for a DC crowd (i was on the floor, just behind the 4 or 5 dudes with blond wigs).  balcony did look pretty tame, but then again when i'm not feeling too high energy i often head for the balcony so i don't expect the craziest dancers up there.  from the middle of the floor sound quality went up and down - for a few songs, bass was way too loud.  good setlist indeed.

crowd was made up of an above-average proportion of gay men, and female hotties.  between them, alison's costumes and the silver half-doughnut on stage - plenty to look at :D

Fantastic. All the stories of their ability to make any room feel like a dingy basement are true.
I was a little disappointed yet not surprised to find out that they would use the stage upon arriving but am not sure how much it mattered. It might have made things a little more chaotic if they were on the floor but there was still plenty of savage violent fun to be had.

I would love to hear how that 15 guitars thing Buildings did was.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: Relaxer on July 01, 2010, 12:13:34 pm
The Building thing was okay. Some of the songs sounded a bit like Mogwai. Thing is, for that many guitars, I expected a bit more oooomph. It really only sounded like, say, 5 or 6 guitars.

Funny part was that in the midst of all those damn guitars, I saw a guy I work with. Don't really know him, but there he was on stage (playing guitar).

So yeah, lots of guitars. Everywhere you looked on stage, there were like at least three guitars, usually more. I swear I ordered a drink from someone playing a guitar. On my way home, I discovered that I too was playing a guitar.

Lightning Bolt was great. I couldn't believe all that noise was coming from just two dudes.

Farmfest was a fun way to spend a Saturday.  The venue/farm was nice, not too many people, adequate and clean bathrooms, and good music.  I caught Whoarfrost (fast crazy drumming, with timing, but good), the Rez (not great), the Slow Jerks (not good at all, and due to the fact that they were supposed to be the Morning After Girls replacement, not a good switch.  I can think of tons of local bands which would have been better), Lazlo Lee and the Motherless Children (fun set, good boogie rock), the Flying Eyes (one of my favorites, the only thing was their music didn?t really seem to warrant a mosh pit, but that didn?t stop everyone from slamming around almost every song), the Vandelles (I listened to this from my tent, the music was easily my favorite of the night and I want to see them play at a club now, I think the open air setting killed the potential of what should have been monstrous guitars), and An Albatross (what the hell?  Some of the craziest music I have had the pleasure/misfortune to listen to.  I listened to this one in my tent also, and it was truly a weird set.  They had insanely fast drumming, saxophones, so guy seeming to randomly screaming, and other interesting musical moments). All in all it was a fun, non corporate rock fest.  Setting it on a farm in the middle of no where and having no vendors and camping right in front of the stage contributed to a truly unique festival experience for me.  I also got to meet and hang with Jaguar, which was very cool. And hang with Double Daggers drummer's mom. The only drawback of the night was deciding to ?camp?.  The other campers kept me up all night, from the end of music around 2:30 to when I tore the tent down and left at 5:30. I would have been much better off just leaving before they closed the parking lot off from leaving at 2:00/

Post by: Jaguar on July 05, 2010, 12:35:33 pm
It was very nice meeting you and your girlfriend, Killsaly. It's just surprising that it's taken this long considering that we tend to like a lot of the same bands.

Had a very good time at Farmfest. Yes, it was a real shame that The Girls had to cancel out at the last minute because I was very much looking forward to seeing them. Sure hope that Martin gets back to the US, as intended, once all is sorted out. Shame that immigration wouldn't let him stay until after the festival. At least I knew about the cancellation before the event. Don't know if the others did but everyone seemed to be having a good time never the less.

Like you, The Vandelles were my favorite and had expected it to be that way. Love their music! Admittedly though, I thought their set was a bit spotty. Agree with you that it probably was due to the outdoor setting. Also, I got the impression that they chose a setlist that they thought was more appropriate to the setting which was a bit less gazerific than they have the potential for. Of course, those elements were there too but not in full force.

An Albatross is definitely not my thing at all but I think the general crowd may have enjoyed them the most. They did put on the most professional set of all. Personally, I hated them for the first 3/4ths of their set. Then the singer finally shut up and they played on and on and on and on without him. Funny thing was, I kind of liked them once he butted out.

Our tent wasn't too far from the fire pit so we were even closer to the all nighters. Luckily, when I'm tired, I can sleep through anything so it didn't bother me at all. When we woke up, there were still some diehards going at it. Maybe a quarter of the people were still around when we left at about 8:30 or so.

Met the owner of the farm. Nice guy from what I could tell. Love the property which is a big reason why I wanted to go as I just absolutely love farm lands. It was the perfect setting for a nice small festival. Usually, I can't stand festivals because I don't like the madhouse of a large show. Same reason that I hate attending sold out shows. This one was extremely comfortable. A nice group of people yet you could work your way into any part of the festival area that you wanted. It was also extremely affordable. Another plus for me was that it was an easy and very pleasant drive from where I live. Never clocked it but I guess it was maybe a 35-45 minute drive with most being a gorgeous country road. The festival was a bit more hippie/Blues than I like but was worth it for a day of perfect weather up on the farm.

Here's my feedback on the She and Him show.

This would have been better if it was a $15 show at the Birchmere. But they don't have $15 shows at the Birchmere.

I can't recall a show more packed that this one. We squeezed in front of poll in the very back, stage right. A number of people tried to maneuver after us, but there was nowhere for them to go and they were left unable to see. We had to crane our necks at times, and we're not short people. Total sweatbox. I was sweating profusely from every place you could imagine sweating, and some places you couldn't imagine. I can only imagine how badly the fat hairy guy who kept wiping himself with a wash cloth next to me felt. Fat hairy guys' 40something bleached blond friend kept gesticulating wildly (I think they call it middle age dancing), and I spent the entire show in fear that she was going to smack me with her hand or her flailing head. Thankfully, she didn't. All of these complaints would have been nonexistent if the show had been at the Birchmere.

And the show itself? Well Zooey may have been the second best looking woman in the building (actually maybe the fourth, the two sisters on backup vocals looked more attractive from my backrow vantage point), but she's not all that watchable. She's more annoying than cute. Bouncing like a rabied cheerleader, it's hard to see how a low key guy like M. Ward can put up with her, especially since he doesn't even get to fuck her. (I kept wondering if Ben was back home crying in his Miller Chill.) She does have a nice voice, and you can't go wrong with the guitar team of M Ward and Mike Coykendall. For all of her bouncing, many of the songs were pretty lifeless, though some (40%?) did actually catch spark. If only Zooey could buy a personality and some stage bantering chops. She did say that it was her first time in DC. Really??? Are we that insignificant? We did get M. Ward on lead vocals for two songs, so that was nice.

But alas, I didn't hate it, like one boardie told me I would. But that's probably because I set my expectations low, and because I was on a date with the sexiest woman in the building, and she like the show.

We arrived at 9:25, grabbed a beer downstairs, and the show started. The crowd was so thick and and the room so dark, didn't really notice the attractiveness or male/female ratio. Of those I did see, I was wondering how many of them were regular concert goers vs. Zooey fans.

Thanks for the recap, Ford...I haven't been to the club in awhile and wondered how crowded & hot it might be yesterday. Glad I didn't go...the extra details helped paint the scene to what I imagined & missed. Zooey is herself, awkward at times,but sweet. & their music and her voice make up for it - esp. Ward. ;) Agree, tickets should have been cheaper. RHT / Birchmere, would have been better suited.
They have a different, more mature sound, so my guess is the ticket price and size of crowd more than likely are to see her (due to 500 Days of Summer notoriety). I can understand wanting to get a peek her or him though.

I saw them (She & Him) on the 4th in sweltering heat. Zooey was pretty bouncy and having a good time. She was adorable on stage (I guess women do like her quite a bit). We were far back and a friend started yelling about the order they played stuff in. We left before it ended to get off the island, but it was  a good time.

The bigger highlight was seeing Roseanne Cash. She was on another spot on the island and played for about 2 hours.

I've seen them, they are a decent live band.  The woman has a great voice, and the guitarist is pretty good.  They are not really a band where you will walk away from a show with a whole new appreciation for what they do, but if you like their music on record, I'm sure you would like the show.

Report back after you see Anderson. I really want to go but I can't justify $45.00. I'm a bigger fan of her husband. Lou might make an appearance at the show though, he sometimes does encores at her shows.

Mates of State show last night was great.  Nick Thune's stand up was funny as hell, and worked perfectly in a small club enviroment opening for bands.  He had a lot of crowd interaction and his trademark guitar playing/joke making.  Even the jokes i recently heard on his myspace page killed, and many were just enough different from what I had already heard to make me laugh.  Free Energy were ok.  I watched them on the screen by the bar.  The music didnt really do it for me.  Seemed like they were having fun though.  Mates of State were excellent like always.  They played about 12 songs.  Most were either from Rearrange Us and their new cover album Crushes, along with a couple of classics.  I wish they were doing a dc show on this tour as well, but I guess seeing them once this year will tide me over.  All in all a good night, but damn i wish it had been a weekend night.

We loved the show.  The floor was uncrowded anywhere  behind the very front of to soundboard, so it was easy to have a very confotable uncrowded spot with great view and great sound.  I really liked hearing all the Raw Powe stuff, and was suruprised when they also threw in several tracks from Funhouse and the first record. 

Atlantic city on the other hand is serious hell.  I feel I had mental images burned into my brain that night that will never go away.

Anytime you can show up 15 minutes before they start and only be 2-3 heads back from the stage is a good omen.

Her being late notwithstanding, I actually liked her supposed "speedy delivery and clunky, overstuffed arrangements."  Have seen artists losing their voice just go through the motions -- this was not the case with Lauryn Hill last night.  This was enough to win me over.

uhmmm . . . let's see.

1. you're always on here.

2. you go to more shows than the bands themselves.

3. all you seem to do is research every band that is playing or will play the dc area in the next five years.

4.  we are in the worst recession since the depression, and it seems all you care about is spending money on concerts.  people start to think you don't work and get your money from higher sources.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: azaghal1981 on September 11, 2010, 10:39:01 am
1. Many people are on here while at work. Hence the downtime on weekends.


2. I have been to three shows in the last month that cost me a grand total of $18.


3. I scour a few news and ticketing sites per day and post what I find. It doesn't really take long at all.

4. My broke ass getting money from higher sources is kind of hysterical.

4.  i ran out of ideas towards the end . . . yeah, i know.  i thought the "higher sources" was pretty good.

i hope my previous post was not scene as attack.  i only posted it as a "what i thought people on here thought about people who go to and post about shows on everyday of the week . . ."  i think it and find it interesting/amazing that people can go to that many shows, but i am biased by my location.  plus i've always thought you were the post king on the who's playing where, when and why; almost an internet obsession if i may.  perhaps i did speak out of turn and people on here do not follow my rambles . . . then yes i admit my wrongfulness upon you.  (you like that last part?  ;)  )

agreed...don't have any if its gonna be that stupid. 

I dunno, some of the shit they were pulling in 08 was pretty great... Coffins full o' shaving cream, hangings, and centaur transformations. There are indications that this tour'll be along the same lines, if not cooler. I reckon that milk-drinking mime shit was just 'cos they didn't have time/resources to do anything real back when they shot that.

Plus the band should be much more musically on-point than they've been, just having kicked out a dead weight of a drummer and added four professionals.

Plus Janelle is not just an opening act... apparently both bands are gonna jam and do covers and what not. And she and her band are the fucking shit, so that'll help.

All in all, it'd be advisable to attend.

"a big fuck you"?  really?  defensive much?  :)

interesting how you call LCDSS and pavement "entry level idiot hipster magnet bands", yet you get your panties in a knot when someone disses a band of hacks who need theatrics (like being "born" through a giant vagina on stage) to compensate for their lack of interesting new music.  i'm not saying oM is better or worse than LCDSS and/or pavements, just a funny observation.  yes, little things amuse me.

I'd happily prefer to listen to all *ten Of Montreal albums back to back rather than have to listen to one LCDSS song. What's interesting about their music is that he/they've managed to evolve in such a fashion as to still be making music after ten albums. Music that now sounds little like the twee band they started out as. But that's just me.

I haven't seen them live, so I'm hoping the theatrical stuff doesn't detract from the excellence of the music. I'll bet those who go to see OM go in spite of the theatrical stuff rather than because of it.

*Well actually, I might skip Skeletal Lamping.

oM will be awesome. Fuck everyone who says otherwise. I wish I were seeing them again, but unless I win free tix its not looking like it. Itll be a great show. Their theatrics have gotten a bit over the top, but regardless Kevin always looks and sounds great. I do miss some of their earlier music that seems to have vanished, but they have a huge catalog so its hard to complain.

Enjoy the show!

from one of my fav shows and Kevin has never looked better.

Wow of Montreal was one of the worst shows I've ever been to... and I've seen them twice before and it's been good. Just Jesus Christ what a travesty of a show.

Janelle tore it up, though... I heard she actually refused to perform with of Montreal for some totally understandable reason.

Post by: Hieronymus on September 14, 2010, 01:12:11 am
Only False Priest songs and like 3 from Hissing Fauna... huge stalls mid-show for pre-recorded video. Janelle supposedly refused to perform with them. Projections including pictures of Katrina or Haiti or something? 1/4 of the audience leaving. A focus on giant, mostly shitty (with a few cool exceptions) costumes/effects.

The vibe was also just off... really joyless, dark feel. This is a band that's past it's expiration date trying to make "art" instead of letting people have fun.

Also there was a major shitty Lady Gaga vibe with 6 million different kinds of full-body face-covering suits doing bad Bad Romance type moves onstage.

Everyone seemingly rushed the door when they were finished doing a gross Michael Jackson medley/grave-rolling session.

Obvious split between au courant, predominantly black Janelle fans and a really bleh crowd turnout for of Montreal.

Difficult to describe what made it so terrible, but something about it just made me (and, it seems, a lot of people) want to die.

I left before end and Sam Prekop was at a little Sea and the Cake merch table looking bored/forlorn... I said "Hey, aren't you in the band.. you're Archer Prewitt!"...great just great... then I bought a record and had him sign it.. possibly the ugliest Sea and the Cake cover ever...great just great..

Tonight (Tues. 9/14): Of Montreal/Janelle Monae

Thurs. 9/16: "The Sound of Rhythm & Culture" release party at Eighteenth Street Lounge

Fri. 9/17: Superchunk (and maybe Eighteenth Street Lounge afterward, for Fort Knox Five)

I'm a little apprehensive about tonight's show (well, the Of Montreal part) after reading that people were disappointed with last night's show.

On the other hand, since I'm jet-lagged and it's going to be a real effort to stay up tonight anyway, if the Of Montreal part sucks then it'll be that much easier to leave.  ;)

Two people out of 1000+ say it's bad, and hence the show is bad? I'll go and decide for myself.

Not surprised that 1/4 of the audience would leave before the end of OM. Janelle Monae is a headliner in her own right, and no doubt many were there explicitly to see her.

but janelle monae of course she is awesome. The bass was soooo loud. my
ears are stilling ringing. haha
of montreal
i just don't think the crowd was into it because
they played mostly new songs.
and i listened to the album once.
so it was hard to g et into the show.
but i didn't mind those crazy theatrics. that was some funny shit.
janelle came on around 8:05
and of montreal right on time
at the time i was digging the michael jackson songs
but then the video i captured when i watched it later
was awful. hahaha

Post by: James Ford on September 15, 2010, 09:24:53 am
I walked away from the 9:30 Club thinking I had just seen two auditions to play the Super Bowl halftime show. I'll give each a C+ and wish for a return halftime performance by the Stones.

I walked into the club a fan of the new Janelle Monae album. I walked into the club a fan of several older Of Montreal albums, but not to the point of reverence that would prevent me from liking their new material. Thanks to the internet, I was actually familiar with (and quite like) their new material two months before release date.

Maybe I prefer a mix of sincerity and humor that I find in a live show by the likes of Robbie Fulks, Justin Earle, or Nick Lowe. Talk and tell me charming funny stories between songs, instead of adjusting your tights and batting your eyelashes. Or if you're not a big talker, give me a straightforward kickass rock show like Nada Surf, Spoon, or the Drive By Truckers, instead of pointless dancers, stage props, and silly dress styles.

Both acts were all about style over substance, and in that context both were ok I guess. Glad I saw them but wouldn't pay money or stay up past my bedtime to see them again. The dancers and props were at times funny, at times annoying, but most often distracting and never enhancing. Janelle's dancers were just as pointless as Of Montreal's dancers. Not sure why the critics of Monday's show lambasted OM for that and let JM pass for the same offense. Janelle didn't live up to the hype, OM wasn't as bad as Monday's press. They'll both go to Philly and do the same exact show. And does Kevin Barnes remind anybody of Perry Farrell (thanks to my wife for that catch)? Scrawny dorks in stupid outfits. And Janelle, you should just shave your ugly hair off (credit my wife for that comment too).

Unlike Monday's show (as reported by others...again, I question their reliability), both artists inspired about an equal number of dancing idiots. Personally, I'd prefer a show where everyone is bobbing their heads rather than dancing like an asshole and invading the personal space of others. Special kudos to the guy who spent the show pumping raised Miller Lite bottle in one hand and cell picture phone in the other hand, taking up the space of three people. His girlfriend gave me a few elbows while doing her stupid bleach blond white girl dancing. I later saw him in the urinal next to me, and her managed to piss all over everywhere except in the actual urinal.

As we were leaving (perfect timing to miss the inevitable child molester medley...no doubt Robbie Fulks will cover him Friday night, so don't want too much child molester music in one week), I stopped for one more piss. I overheard this exchange between two blockheads...one guy said something (in reference to Kevin Barnes) about "wannabe transsexual" and the other guy replied "Dude, aint no wannabe about it. That guy IS a tranny".

One more comment: As with most (but not all) shows at the 9:30 Club, this one was way, way too loud. Even standing in the back with earplugs in. Too the point where the club was rattling when i was in the frint. What exactly is the point of having the music at ear damaging music? If the music is good, it doesn't need to be super loud.

Not to mention the bass was too loud, the vocals too low, the overall mix muddy, etc. I know nothing about sound but even I could point out that much.

Maybe the sound guy was too busy dancing (he wasn't yawning like Monday night) to notice.

I do have 3-5 more shows coming up in the next month and a half.

Feel sorry for my wife, who wasted one of her few nights out. Feel sorry for my daughter, who cried and cried for mommy when the babysitter had to put her to bed (first time someone other than mommy, daddy, or gramma did it). Feel sorry for my lighter wallet after paying for five hours of babysitting. And feel sorry for my work deluged wife, who came from from the show and got on her laptop and did work.

sucks that the show wasn't all that.  i know that you don't go to many shows these days, kinda blows that you spent one of your nights out on a dud.

20 songs is pretty standard, don't you think? also that was an outdoor show at a museum, so maybe a normal club show will get a few more.

Quantity != quality.

Those of us who were at that nearly 3-hour Hole show know this better than anybody else.

I personally don't need more than an hour from 75% of the bands I see nowadays. A band that can hit me over the head and leave me wanting more is much more successful performance-wise than a band that leaves me standing there thinking "finish up already. I wanna go home."

Happy I pulled the trigger on Magma. Great show although a little long at two hours. Wanted to do today's all-day thing at the Old Town Hall and tomorrow's thing at Strathmore but I'm a little tired after five shows in three nights.



Tuesday: Fennesz
Wednesday: Keith Fullerton Whitman/Expo 70
Thursday: Caribou/Emeralds or the Sonic Circuits show at The Fridge
Friday: Merzbow/Richard Pinhas (!!!!!!!!!!!)
Saturday: V-Fest if I can find a ride up after 3:00 PM. (anyone?)

Tommy was awesome. He had Jon Wurster sit in on one song (you know, the drummer that looks like Samsfresh) and his very young nephew sit in on another.

Lots of pontificating...but it wasn't all bad. I think for the 2 hours and 20 minutes he played, there was about 90 minutes worth of music. I think if you go into it with that mindset, it's not that bad because a lot of what he says is either funny or there's a point to it. I'd have to say that if he would have limited the chatter by about 15 minutes or so, it would have been a pretty phenomenal show. Nice setlist too.

I think that's a fair comment. I imagine his visit to the Creation Museum and Christine O'Donnell's election just gave him too much material for the last show of the tour.

Lots of awesome shows this weekend.

2+ hours of Broken Social Scene was really great. They were playing a good mix of early and new stuff. No leaving for an encore so they didnt waste any time and could play as much music as possible. Kevin mentioned something about playing even louder than was permitted and hed gladly pay the fine! Hoping Pavement does the same. Was one of the best crowds I had seen in a long time at Summerstage.

Superchunk played to a totally enthusiastic out-of-control crowd last night. They commented how much more rowdy the Williamsburg crowd was than the prior nights show at Bowery. Todd Barry opened the show. Loved Wild Nothing.

This week:

Tonight: Klaxons
Tomorrow: Pavement
Wed: Pavement
Thurs: Pavement
Fri: fly down to B'more (hoping to get into Edward Sharpe if time is on my side and its not sold out)
Sat: VFest
Sun: Hoping for no shows......

1.KC Accidental
2.Texico Bitches
3.Shoreline (7/4)

Between James, Jason and the Scorchers, and Teenage Fanclub, it's quite a banner week for nostalgia shows. I know each of these acts have released decent to good new albums of late, but isn't everybody hoping for the old stuff.

Agreed...really enjoyed both, and they were so different. Had to laugh at the jerk screaming for "Did I Say". He was something else. Great song though, and I'm glad they played it. Eugene seemed a little nervous, but overall it was a great evening and a wonderful bill. So glad I got to see this.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: Vas Deferens on October 03, 2010, 04:58:34 pm
bearman, I was hoping they'd do that song (Did I Say) as I was listening to that song over and over and over hours prior to the show. On the TFC forum, someone said it was a woman that was repeatedly asking (maybe a couple of people were asking for it). Anyway, great song and I wish it's a 5 minute song....listening to it again right now...

i guess DC lucked out on this one, as this was the only show with the Vaselines.

So GbV was pretty good last night. If I was a bigger fan of the band I might have thought them to be really good/excellent, but my knowledge is such that I only recognized two or three songs. The disciples of pollard were loving it (including a number of 40-somethings who were reliving their college days and have a blast at it). The man himself was in great spirits and didn't drink so much as to interfere with his performance. He did, however, drink beer and some sort of liquor throughout the show. I strongly suspect that most people here are going to love this show when it hits the 930. Only real complaint: the band sounded the same all night long.  Same instruments, same settings/effects, same playing style... same sound. I know, I know - lo-fi, it let's the song-writing shine, blah blah. Whatever. I could have used a little tonal variety :)  By the end of their ~90 min set, it all started to sound the same to me. What little I caught of TNV's opening set was unimpressive.

Currently at the echoplex waiting for talvin singh. Ticket says 8:30. Rushed to get here by 9 only to find out they hadn't even opened doors yet. I forget how spoiled we are by the 930's consistent posting of set times. Wanna laugh? Call the echoplex's tel# during the day and listen to the recording. They essentially insult anyone contemplating inquiring about set times. Thanks for respecting your customer's time, assholes.

Opener was ariana delawari. Her afghani-inspired ethno-folk-rock was really good.

In sweetcell's defense...I bet GBV could pick a 37 song, 90 min set list.

In sweetcell's offense...he's clearly wrong on this show being anything other than amazing.

might have been 100 minutes, maaaaaaaybe an hour and three quarters, but it was def under 2 hours.

talvin singh was ridiculous.  his ability to generate that many sounds, that quick quickly with just his fingers and 2 tablas was amazing.  his setup was 2 tablas, a midi percussion pad, a looper (phrase sampler) pedla board, and a laptop.  criminally under-attended, there were maybe 200 people there tops.

I just don't get why GBV would take the stage at 8 pm at the 930....its a thursday night.. if they do their 40 song set list they'll be done by 10:30.. and isn't Mascis' band Sweet Apple opening..

I don't understand why doors open at 6:30 and Eddie was saying that GBV was exepcted to go on by 8.


Its a problem for me because I'm on kid patrol until about 9 pm that night....

But GBV at 8? Havin g seen them many many times I can never recall them going on that early and their shows were always very long so it doesn't make sense unless they have to be up early the next day to go to NPR or something..

Did anyone go to the Women show at DC9 last night? If so, how was it?

Had to pick the Bowerbirds/Sharon Van Etten show instead and it was quite possibly one of the best Bowerbirds show I've seen. They were a five-piece last night, two core members plus drummer and two violinists (who also handled other instruments). They also had a marimba this time around (first time I think).

^^ Yes, she is a better performer now than before and more confident I should say (saw her open for Beirut and I didn't care for her back then). I expected a full band last night but she only played solo (about 40 minutes). I'm still trying to figure out the last song she played (it's not from her new one)...it was real, real intense. She said she'll be back with the band opening for Junip!

Just now catching up on this thread, as I've been super-busy recently... in part because I've been going to so many 9:30 Club shows.  ;)

I was at the club four times in six days the other week:
Mon. 9/27 - James
Wed. 9/29 - Stars
Fri. 10/1 - doing Backbar gig with DJK
Sat. 10/2 - Teenage Fanclub, the Vaselines

This week I've been to:
Mon. 10/11 - Kruder & Dorfmeister
Tues. 10/12 - Deerhunter, Casino Versus Japan

Azaghal1981, I think you would've liked the K&D show better than the Tosca show.  Will try to post a review of the K&D show later...

Evening: Take daughter trick or treating. She's dressing up as Baby Jaguar. Wife is sewing the costume.(probably way more expensive than just buying one.)
Monday morning: Sleep in (until 7am if I'm lucky)Call in sick even though I'll probably feel fine. Maybe rake some leaves. Take day off from running.

hey, the missus is running the marine corps too.  i'll be sure to yell ironic encouragement as you go by.  plan is for me to jump the fence and do the last 6 miles with her.

i'd like to see blond redhead/pantha that evening, but between needed to nurse her, visiting in-laws, and very likely early-morning travel the next day, things aren't looking good.

Three hours? Shit, you must be fast. I put in over four hours on Monday, and I still was a few miles shy of 26.2.

This is my first marathon in 4.5 years, first with a child. My wife did her first post-child marathon in April. Hopefully, losing nearly 20 pounds this year and breaking free of my crack habit will help me fare well in this one. By "fare well" of course I mean avoiding death.
Title: Re: This week rollcall

Well, I'm rounding a bit.  I'm doing much better in my training this go-around; previously for NYC, I was stopping every 6 miles or so for a break.  This time, I've been running upwards of 13 without a stop, which has me psyched.  And even though I'm way behind, I ran 9 the other day in a little over an hour and 15, so I'm feeling pretty confident.  And that's far faster than I've ever run before.

Of course, its my long runs that have suffered; I have a 14, 15, 18 and 20 to still run as part of the training (try to squeeze in a 22 as well, but that's not going to happen this year). 

We'll see if I actually can get my act together to run it...

THe race is 17 days away and you're still planning on doing those four long runs? Seriously?

I'll probably do one more 13 miler this weekend, then no more double digit runs until the race.

I'm so old I don't worry about speed training or interval running anymore. Though I think I'll be faster than my last marathon because I'm fitter and the course is easier (DC vs. Charlottesville).

No way I'm doing them all.  I'd liek to do either one 18 or 20, just to have my body prepared a bit, but otherwise, I'm starting to slow down on the training.  Those were just the ones I've missed for various reasons.

^ Sounds like she has a rich imagination, maybe even is very right brained. Good for her!

Bet she'll be reading early and take well to music, art and other creative pursuits. She probably also very much appreciates her dream life and will be the inventive sort. All good qualities though she'll have to learn to adjust and compensate to living in an extremely left brained world that all too often prefers to close its mind to any sort of holistic or alternative thinking. She sounds pretty special, and I DON'T mean the deficient version of that word.

i'd go for it. a) 930 will be a headlining set, not a festival set, b) it'll free you up at moogfest to see someone else in case there is a conflict, c) it's only $16, tickets will be available at the door, and d) you can dvr GB-MIN ;)

I didn't care much for Last Tide or Impossible Hair and Capstan Shafts' set was plagued with tech problems. So that one was pretty much a wash. Last night was a fun time. Shirks were great as always. I'd been hearing good things about Maybe Baby for ever and they didn't disappoint. Beasts of No Nation got a couple nice little pits going which is easier said than done in DC. The Zeros played everything everyone wanted to hear and did it well.

Fort Wilson Riot were good openers.  Cloud Cult kicked ass like always.  Not a lot of people came out.The Black Cat was not packed, less than half full.  But they did their thing.  Had both painters on stage, but this time they would spin their canvases while painting.  It created some interesting effects.  The hour long set was about half Light Chasers tunes, and half oldies.  I cant remember all they played, but they definitely played a few of my favorites.  The sound was great too.  I think they might have brought a sound guy, or they just happened to know/thank him by name.  All in all well worth 16 bucks.

Found a good ticket for a decent price for Interpol. Don't worry, it's a really solid show. I know that the new record their weakest LP yet, but it really doesn't suck as bad as everyone says. I thought the same about Our Love to Admire. The only song they play from that one is "Rest My Chemistry", which sounds pretty epic. It'll be a good show.

TIA.  Hoping to also throw in B'more.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: sweetcell on November 05, 2010, 05:49:01 pm
the EF is really, really big - think a huge warehouse with a stage at one end.  i'm not a big fan of the place, but it's not horrible either.  sounds has been good all 3 times i've been there.  the dandys won't come close to filling the place so shouldn't be too bad.  sold-out shows are a real pain there. 

neighborhood is industrial/warehouse/scene gang fight in a movie (not that i've ever seen gangs there, it's always deserted).  on a show night you'll be fine parking nearby and walking to the venue, but it's not somewhere you'd hang otherwise.  chinatown is close by, hang there instead and drive over to the venue when ready to enter.

man or astroman was decent, a fun time, but nothing spectacular.  the BC was about half full and seemed to be lacking critical mass to really get things going.  not much dancing happening which was too bad - a number of their tunes just called out for a good-natured mosh pit (term used loosely here).

Like last year, a whole lot of you missed another stellar show.   Featuring the simple things like hooks, harmonies and crunch...  Brendan Benson just delivers the goods and was backed pretty much perfectly by the Posies who amped his easy going songs when called for.

I did occur to me that it was a tad unfortunate that the show was scheduled right after Grinderman and being mid-week didn't help.  I'm sure their fanbases are aging and even shows that get over by 11:30 are a stretch.... But, seeing as the inferior side projects of Jack White can pull full houses, this should much fuller...

Billing his as being part of that other band was insulting enough.

Spelling his name wrong in the billing would have taken the cake.

It was a bit tough for me to have the show mid-week and his set go on at 10:30. Still think it should have sold out. A great co-bill w/ him and The Posies. Aqueduct, I like a couple of their songs, but others not so sure. I hope they tour more and together!

Fort Wilson Riot were good openers.  Cloud Cult kicked ass like always.  Not a lot of people came out.The Black Cat was not packed, less than half full.  But they did their thing.  Had both painters on stage, but this time they would spin their canvases while painting.  It created some interesting effects.  The hour long set was about half Light Chasers tunes, and half oldies.  I cant remember all they played, but they definitely played a few of my favorites.  The sound was great too.  I think they might have brought a sound guy, or they just happened to know/thank him by name.  All in all well worth 16 bucks. 
Sorry for the late reply - I wanted to thank you for the great details and review and pictures to boot! Thank you. Wish I could have been there.

Tragically, in the what-a-dumbfuck sense, I learned at an inopportune time that mixing a few beers, two 4lokos and then a coupla jack & cokes, along with a few other elements, is not a good recipe for success. I didn't make it  :'( :-X

i hate the fact that i have put the personal kabosh on the shows going outings.  so many from the past and living so far from the good ones.  it gets tiring driving back n forth sometimes almost two hours one way.  and then i act mean to people like azag who go to a lot of concerts as if such an effort was attending school or going to work and thats just what you do.  my envy does call forth apologies.  i even gave up the jam band plans . . . but thats just because it got old and typical.

I'm in for JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound at the Velvet Frid

They were smokin' hot as the house band at the Numero Group show last year and I still stand by this description of them

The sound of a hard working Soul band that grew up listening to The Clash and what's amazing is that they work  them together without being overtly obvious.

Deep down I had slightly mixed feelings about what it may turn out to be...but Peter Hook knows what he's doing, and frankly I think that he was the muscle behind Joy Division. That's not downplaying the others' contributions of course. But he really did a great job of honoring the sanctity of the band's musical legacy. "Shadowplay" sounded so huge, and even the ending of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" really made me well up inside. What a great evening.

Re: Peter Hook show was this the project that Mani was once involved with and there was a tiff that erupt between the two of them on MySpace?  And sounds like I should have shook off my walking dead haze and attended it.

Really surprised and pleased to hear that this was good. If anyone finds any videos, even from other venues, please post.

Had expected it to be like the last New Order abomination of what they did to the legend that is Joy Division. You know, how they made the greatest of dark and gloomy Darkwave sound like happy good time party music, ideal for frat boys. I still cringe when I think of that!
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: azaghal1981 on December 02, 2010, 11:53:29 am
I think Mani played as part of a gig or two in Europe but they had another project with Andy of the Smiths called Freebass that went to shit after they cyber fight.

It's looking like JC is playing first tomorrow which will mean an early night at Velvet for me (unheard of, I know).

And yeah Jaguar, they did the material justice last night.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: betao on December 02, 2010, 01:12:27 pm
Mani had a falling out with Hooky not too long ago. I thought he was in the band put found out about a month ago that he wasnt.

I enjoyed last night much more than I thought I would. I was getting worried that Hooky wasn't going to play any bass, especially when the first few songs went by and he did nothing but sing. But I'm glad he did. The music as a whole was sharp as hell and sounded great. And he did very well on vocals. He was great on "Day of the Lords". Highlight javascript:void(0);of the night for me was Transmission - sounded perfect.

setlist: Who Am I To Say / Move Over Mama / They Killed John Henry / I Don?t Care / Ain?t Glad I?m Leaving / Mama?s Eyes / Mama Said / One More Night in Brooklyn/ Ain?t Waitin?/ Christchurch Woman/ Wanderin? /Slippin? and Slidin? / I Been Burning Bad Gasoline (Lightnin? Hopkins)/ It Won?t Be The Last Time (unreleased)/ South Georgia Sugar Babe / Someday I?ll Be Forgiven For This / Halfway to Jackson / Look The Other Way (unreleased) -not sure if this is the title / Midnight At The Movies/ Walk Out/ Harlem River Blues / encore: Rex's Blues (Townes Van Zandt) / Do I Ever Cross Your Mind? (duet with Dawn Landes) / Can't Hardly Wait (The Replacements)

The crowd was loud but I've come to expect that this would be the case at every mainstage show I see. That combined with the crowd of drunkards Ween and related bands draw had me knowing that the talkative crowd would be a fact of life and that I had to either make the best of it or be annoyed all night.

it distracted during a few songs and i tried to tell someone politely to STFU but of course it didn't go over well...

I hope I won't get lynched next time I'm at the club for saying this, but 2 hours seemed a little long for a Clutch set.  I really enjoyed it, but probably would have liked it even more if it had been a bit more concise at 90 minutes or so. 

Kylesa was amazing.  Really psyched to see them at the Black Cat backroom in Jan.

Clutch was pretty cool last night at The Nat'l. Nice to see Josh and the other 930 staph member who's name I do not know. hope a good time was had by all.

there were actually 5 staph there, including an angry little gypsy.  we had a blast.  glad we didn't let the exaggerated winter weather reports keep us away.

5 staph?? that's alot man. glad the weather prevailed and you all had a good time.

Kylesa was great opening for Clutch in Richmond last month, and won't it be fun to see how Kylesa (2 guitars, bass, two drums) will even fit on the backroom stage?  That's about the best I can do.

Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: Mr.Whippy on January 22, 2011, 03:58:16 pm
Thoughts on last night's Yo La Tengo show?
I pretty much hated it.  For the "spin the wheel" set, we got the "Sounds of Science" part 2.  This was actually really interesting music, but just not the right setting for it.  Also I was really not in the mood for.  I was really hoping for the Condo Fucks set or something with some energy.  There was alot of audience chatter throughout this set, as it wasn't really holding alot of people's attention.

Then about 11:15 there was about a 20 minute break and they came back for another set.  I left about halfway through that, so maybe it got better, but from the part I saw they were just not picking any songs I wanted to hear (except for Tom Courtenay). 

I know some of this is my fault for going, as I've felt over YLT for a while and don't really like the last two records.   I was just drawn in again by the spin the wheel set concept, hoping to hear something really different from them.

The show also just felt too late.  Having the main band start at 10:30 is late for a show with an intermission.  I know some of that is due to being out the night before seeing Kylesa, who were awesome.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: azaghal1981 on January 22, 2011, 04:08:59 pm
I loved the first set but yes, the crowd was full of people who had short attention spans. Disagree on the 2nd set but this was my first time seeing them (crazy I  know given that they play DC so often). Also agree on the show feeling like it went a little late. William Tyler was excellent but as with the first YLT set, the crowd had trouble shutting up and listening. This was expected, however. Reminded me of when Grouper opened for Animal Collective at the club. Not exactly that rough but yeah.

Title: Re: This week rollcall

Yes, amazing show. 

It had an uneven start with Marty W-P having technical problems for the first 3-4 songs, but everything clicked into place after that.  Peter Koppes is such an amazing guitarist for how understated he is.  Marty was amazing all night, and Steve Kilbey just keeps on getting better as a front man.

Getting to hear "Priest=Aura" in its entirety was incredible.  I was also really impressed by how diverse the instrumentation was for the "Untitled #23" set.  They switched instruments pretty much every song.

"Starfish" was my least favorite of the 3 sets, just because I've seen most all those songs live several times, but it was still great.  Marty absolutely shredded on Spark, North South East West, Reptile and Hotel Womb.

It's a tough one. If I'd never heard their stuff, the idea of seeing a new, semi-underground hip-hop group would be about as appealing as seeing Spoon or some other terrible, awful band. But their shit is so good that it feels like the chance to see something really awesome.

Chances are very good it will be a lot of terrible acoustics and incoherent shouting over the top, but its only $10 and it could be great. No Earl unfortunately. I read that his mom discovered his album, totally freaked out and sent him to military school. Hard to know what's real and what isn't with these guys though.

No Earl makes the decision to not go (Joe was supposed to be my ride back to Germantown but he bailed) a little more justifiable.
That album of his kills.

Still; they are right on the verge on becoming the biggest thing in hip hop next to Kanye West's ego and a chance to see them in a room this small in D.C. will not come again.

Technically (I think) you took me to Ritter, but it was my idea...hm, I thought Joe didn't like him - I can't keep up.. I do remember it was packed and we were blocked in at merch all night. Causing me to become bored. I'd go tonight, or should I say another night, or less oversold venue -- sometimes certain crowds dictate my attendance.
It's terrible, I've asked for Radin a couple of times..Seth brings him and I can't go - think it's his first headlining too...At least I can hope that Ritter will come back again to the club.

Bodycop and Leather are playing at Hole in the Sky (one of the better new-ish (has been around since June) on Sunday. That will be worth going to IMO.

What I have on my plate:
Colin Crowe at Northern Lights Friday
Show at the Cherch on Saturday (not sure of the lineup off hand but shows there are always a good time)
Bodycop/Leather on Sunday

the only time we advertise a show as "sold out" is if there is no possibility of tickets being publicly released for it in the future. that's not to suggest that more tickets will indeed be released, but that it's a possibility. just keep checking the Natl's FB page, if they release anymore it will be announced there first.

did they ever! that was KILLER! great show...
i saw sleater kinney in what i think was their first dc show circa 97 at the old black cat and i think i could make an argument this was better.. man

only thing wrong with it may have been the 1 hr set time but for $13 i'll take it..

it was great to see carrie and janet again.. and mary timony really added to things..

once their album comes out i could see them playing the 930....

Post by: nkotb on March 11, 2011, 10:00:51 am
I think we can all agree that it ruled.  I was always a fan of her before, but prior to last night I thought Mary Timony might be the part that dragged this down a bit.  She's great and all, but I was really hoping for a rocking show, and sometimes her newer stuff was a little subdued. Man, was I ever wrong. 

Definitely glad I went in without hearing the songs first...it really rocked.  And I think the one hour set time worked to their advantage...without having an album out, it's hard to really captivate people for that long, I think.  Personally, I think Glass Tambourine was one of their weaker songs...at least until that KILLER end jam kicked in.  Super glad I pulled my sorry ass out of the house for it.

Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: xneverwherex on March 28, 2011, 02:36:20 pm
for some of us who live in NYC - this is going to be a fun show. And $45 for his last show wasnt obscene.

I also got tix for MSG in the initial presale - or else Id not be at that show. But a Tues night in NYC (considering that I live right here) - its going to be an awesome time.

This show has been nothing but craziness since it was announced. I dont think anyone expected half the world to want/need tix to this show.

And I also got all the shows paid - as someone desperately offered me a ton of money for my 2nd ticket at T5. I cant complain too much (and yes I offered it for face on boards and other places, but at that price no one wanted it - the second it was name your price the offers were obscene).

I really am not buying into the conspiracy about the scapled tickets for the last LCD show.  sorry.

Reuters story - James Murphy?s role in the LCD Soundsystem ticket fiasco
Another take on the LCD Soundsystem NY final show(s) ticketing fiasco... This definitely conflicts what James Murphy has said previously.

From Reuters:

James Murphy, of LCD Soundsystem, is not on Twitter a lot. In the past month, he?s tweeted precisely eight times. But when he was trying to sell tickets to his final show at Madison Square Garden back in February, he was very active. He started on Tuesday February 8, with two tweets to announcements of a ticket presale on February 9. And then after the presale released tickets onto the market, he started getting angry, with a series of eleven tweets expressing violent and profane anger towards scalpers in general and StubHub in particular. It seems his ire was raised by someone selling a single ticket for $1,500.

But there?s something very interesting going on here. I talked to Glenn Lehrmann of StubHub today ? himself the subject of an irate Murphy tweet ? and he said that when Murphy started sending his tweets out, there were roughly 1,000 tickets for the LCD Soundsystem show available on StubHub. Most of them were priced at about $130 to $140, with about 90% under $200. The tweets, however, ?significantly raised demand? and the perceived value of the tickets. By the time that tickets officially went on sale to the public on the morning of Friday February 11, fewer than 30 tickets had asking prices of less than $200, and the average price was around $500.

When the tickets went on sale, no one got any. And so the demand moved naturally to StubHub ? of the 1,915 tickets to LCD Soundsystem?s MSG show that StubHub has sold to date, roughly one third were sold on February 11, when prices were at their peak. Right now, prices are much lower; the average is $212, and the lowest-priced tickets are about $100.

Lehrmann confirmed to me that StubHub saw no increase in the number of tickets available for sale after 11am on Friday. The official James Murphy theory ? that scalpers with bots had bought up all the tickets and were flipping them with StubHub ? is simply not true: substantially all of the tickets which sold on StubHub that day came from the American Express pre-sale on the 9th.

?It?s not humanly possible to sell 9,000 tickets in one minute,? Lehrmann told me, adding that if MSG or Bowery Presents (the promoter) or Murphy himself simply published the manifest for the show, that would clear everything up, by showing to the public just how many tickets were sold on February 11 when the bulk of the tickets ostensibly hit the market. ?The artists and promoter aren?t going to share the ticketing manifest, so they hide behind the bots theory,? says Lehrmann. ?But if the bot theory was true, wouldn?t you be waving the manifest from the tallest mountain??

The fact is that the number of LCD Soundsystem tickets sold on StubHub is entirely normal for the venue ? the Lady Gaga show in February, for instance, saw more than twice as much activity on the site.

So what?s going on here? ?I?m not revealing any huge industry secret,? says Lehrmann, ?when I say that the majority of tickets are held back, and are sold either to local brokers or directly resold on a secondary site.?

Essentially, what happens is that bands set the face value of the tickets artificially low, so as not to look as though they?re ripping off their fans. But they only release a fraction of tickets to the public at face value. Lehrmann told me that a Taylor Swift show at National Arena last year sold just 13% of its tickets to the general public, with another 30% going to American Express and to the fan club. Fully 57% of the tickets were sold through some kind of back channel, presumably at a substantial mark-up from face value. In the case of MSG, it?s clear that?s going on: ?at $40 face value,? says Lehrmann, ?the promoter probably isn?t even paying the rent on the building.?

Between them, the band and their promoter build up long-standing relationships with ticket brokers, who then sell on their wares in a variety of ways. Some appear on StubHub and other secondary-market sites; others are sold directly to clients; others still are hawked on the street on the evening of the show. The risk is borne entirely by the brokers: the promoter has sold its inventory to them, and then leaves it up to the brokers to determine how, where, and when those tickets might appear for sale.

In the case of LCD Soundsystem, it looks very much as though the overwhelming majority of tickets went to brokers, and few if any were sold at face value on the public on-sale date. Murphy can rage against the scalpers as much and as loudly as he likes. But looking at the numbers from StubHub, it seems that Murphy himself ? and/or his promoters at Bowery Presents ? are exactly the people putting those tickets into the scalpers? hands. If Murphy wants to go around blaming people, he should first come clean on how much his own behavior caused the very problem he?s complaining about.

I read that before.  I am just not buying into the whole "the scalping thing is all james Murphy's fault" idea everyone seems to have in their head.  This is the last LCD SS show.  Everyone knew scalpers would be buying them.  They buy tickets to everything else, why not this?  I just chose to believe that they didn't want to rip off their fans.  Just doesn't seem to be their style, from everything else I've ever read about them.  I think people are just whining to do so.

So did James do the same thing to The Strokes show that is happening on the 1st at MSG? Please tell me, because the same ticket fiasco went down.

Also - please remember that while MSG holds a good 18k for sports events (and prince in an all-around format), most shows arent selling that many tix. Theres prob 12k tix and when half the world wants them, this is what you get.

You do realize people are coming from the UK/California/South America and wherever else to see this _last_ show. And dont forget about us New Yorkers that want to see him one last time.

Here is a good read about the situation. This coming from a guy who goes to tons of concerts in the area.

I don't know anything about the strokes but I do know this: if the show sold out in 1 second and they were all bought by scalpers then where are they??? why aren't they on stubhub?

they weren't bought by scalpers per se from TM.. i used the term loosely... they were funneled directly to brokers..

look we been though all this.. i'm not going to get into it.. but there's a lot of things that make one go ummmhh.. bowery presents promotes MSG show but also owns terminal 5 which happened to be dark for like a bunch of days in a row. ...

in any case nothing prevents bowery presents/lcd/james murphy from releasing the ticket manifest.. lets see how many tickets actually were on sale!  the fact that this info is not released is most damning.

Post by: xneverwherex on March 28, 2011, 03:39:23 pm
wow! I was kidding with the 10,000 tix were bought my scalpers. I honestly think that fans bought most the tix and the demand was insane. Yes, Im sure ticket brokers bought some, but no one could have predicted the show would go down this insane. Yes, its a last show, but their other shows were never this popular.

But I seriously blame tm and msg and bowery presents for this fiasco. considering its happened on other shows at MSG it cannot be entirely blamed on james murphy and him being greedy.  and the demand for the terminal 5 shows is insane as well.

this happened in the past with bruce springstreen - i am sure our lovely congressman, Mr. Schumer, will be involved if there was anything illegal about it.

and if youre so angry - why even bother posting. some of us wanna go dance and have one hell of a last time with them. ive paid a lot more for other shows and walked out highly disappointed. at least i know that i paid a reasonable amount and the show will be awesome.

youre a bit late to the party anyway. this has all been discussed ad nauseum on BV and so many other boards.

btw - MSG and even the 9:30 club never discusses the #'s game.

Thanks again to the guy who gave me a ticket when I was about to enter the BC. That was great.

I've only been listening to Destroyer for the last month or so. Of course, I am very familiar with and a big fan of the NPs. Suicide Demo and Painter in Your Pocket (which I never heard before) were the highlights of the night for me. I also liked Chinatown and Blue Eyes, too. I just downloaded Destroyer's Rubies. I'll be listening to that for the next week or so.

I never realized Bejar had such a big hand in Twin Cinema. Yeah, I know, he sings on a bunch of songs. If I had listened to TC like it was vinyl, I would have burned through four copies over the year.

I loved Floristree (first time) and the Skull Defekts with Daniel Higgs rocked hard as shit.  What a great, fun show.  The sound was good, crowd was into it, and the band (especially Daniel) just went nuts.  The pairing of his crazyness with their Swedish, all in black, big muff trudge... Very nice.  Plus the one guy banged on what appeared to be taped together gas jugs with metal on the top.

i've heard simon spin a shpongle set, about 18 month ago.  it's dancey-er than what you might expect a shpongle set to be.  i enjoyed it, although the hallucinogen that followed was even better.

i left halfway thru the show. i couldn't get into the off key singing and they were doing nothing for me.

now, i'd definitely check out a classic education again. they are worth another listen.

did anyone make it to iron&wine last week? i ended up missing the show.

and looking ahead to next week's roll call, i'd be mighty grateful if anyone had a spare ticket to adele, ted leo or fleet foxes.

the scalpers are out in full force for adele and fleet foxes on CL and the few folks selling for face value have emailed me back to say that the buyer was offering twice or triple what was listed.

while i know both will tour again, it'll be much bigger venues (especially adele) and all the remaining dates on their current tours are also sold out.

Ian's voice was in excellent shape,also. Loved my two favorite albums being played back to back!
"All Thriller,No Filler".......I first saw Cocodiles performed when they played one of their very first US dates ever for Crocodiles in about 1980 I think.....right here at the Bayou in Georgetown.......we were all a tad bit younger then I suppose.............

Yeah.
They flew through the albums in under 75 minutes.


I wouldn't have been as annoyed with the delay if it didn't cause me to miss the last couple songs in the first encore and all of the second in order to catch my ride home.

Agreed. I left right before the encores. Too early a day today, and I busted my ass to get there by 9. I would have loved to stay, but as it was I barely got 6 hours of sleep. That's the thing about DC on a week night. A lot of us actually have to schedule shows in. That being said, I was extremely happy with the quality of that performance and it was well worth the effort to go. The sound was huge. It reminded me of live Echo recordings from the early 80's.

Earl and Blackenedwhite are the most consistent records of theirs I've heard  thus far. Goblin has quite a few highs but its lulls detract a great deal from it.
Even Bastard is much easier to listen to in one sitting.

That Prefab Sprout track is from a recently issued "Lost" album of demos called "Let Change The World With Music" from what was intended to be release in 1993.  The choice of tracks from it was strictly a feeling that this was indeed the track to go with.  For an album of demo's it sounds like a finished product and there are more "lost" Prefab Sprout albums that were also recorded but never released.

6/19 = a sunday, so at least arriving on time shouldn't be stressful.  assuming you have a M-F job, you can leave anytime on sunday afternoon as opposed to having to skip outta work early and hope rush-hour traffic isn't bad (although you'll have sunday afternoon beach traffic to deal with...). 

as for arriving home at 3 AM and working the next day - it's rock n' roll.  suck it up ;D

Anybody missing the Feelies is just nuts. Saw them last night in Philly and they played a good 2 1/2 hours. About 4 or 5 encores. First set was an hour long, very pleasant and fun. Second set was psychedelic and blazing. Go see them if you can. Such a great live band.

Sade was phenomenal in b'more.  her voice is sooooooo smooth, she hasn't lost a thing over the years (certainly not her looks  :o ).  the band was on fire.  i'm a huge sade fan and walked in there with really high hopes, and they blew them out of the water.  my current front-runner for show of the year.  they played for 2 hours, john legend played for one.  he was awrite.  not my style of music and the production was a tad over the top (felt like a broadway show at times) but he's really good at what he does (and based on the screaming, what he does is get the ladies hot and bothered ;D)
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: azaghal1981 on June 19, 2011, 03:38:32 am
Holy second Feelies set!


Might have been my favorite single set of 2011 so far.

First set was very well-played but it was used as a warm-up of sorts. The second and encores were a blistering rock show. My only complaint was that their leaving the stage and returning four times was stupid and unnecessary. I've said here on many occasions that planned encores, on the whole are stupid IMO so this was 4x the stupid.

End of set>encore break>two songs>encore break>two songs>encore break>two songs>encore break>two songs>end of show.

The greatness of the material (mostly covers ranging from the Beatles to the Rolling Stones to the Stooges to the Doors to R.E.M.)played during those encores, however, overshadows that minor issue.

Title: Re: This week rollcall

The Feelies show is a strong contender for my favorite show of the year. That second set was heaven.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: bearman🐻 on June 19, 2011, 06:26:20 pm
I'm really glad to hear you guys got a fantastic Feelies show too. TOTALLY agree with you about the first set being the warm-up and the ridiculous encore breaks. That being said, the second set was just incredible. Not bad for a bunch of people that look like high school teachers and a librarian. I think Glen Mercer is a very underrated guitarist, and Stan Demeski is one of my favorite drummers. He just nails those drum rolls, and the added percussion of wood blocks, tambourine, etc. is a lot of fun. Definitely one of my favorite shows of the year.

I thought it was excellent. His voice has held up fairly well and the girl singing with him did a great job at filling the higher notes that he couldn't hit out. The Crippled Dog stuff is way more rocking than I had thought it would be which was a nice surprise. His band is really tight, too. His older psych stuff was beautiful. I guess they have been playing as a unit for a while now.

As of right now, yes.  However, I don't think the Velvet is the right place for Matthews.  It was when I was running it, but not anymore.  The owner is more concerned with pumping loud DJ bullshit than giving respect to a quiet songwriting legend.  I looked into moving it to Iota or Jammin' Java but neither was available, so I might end up moving it to a house show somewhere.  Stay tuned...

Surely they will be back doing shows at the club around the time of their next album. Maybe a two or three night stand but at the club nonetheless. Still cool of IMP to have them play a show at a venue that obviously meant a lot to them growing up although it was obvious that they never could have filled it. I am kind of wishing I went if only to experience Black Dice in that setting. That there was a once in a lifetime set, I would imagine.

Black Dice kind of reminded me of Health but wihout a drummer  ;D

I kinda thought of them as Wolf Eyes channeling early Art of Noise. And sure enough, Black Dice have done several records with WE.

yup, i'll be at patriot center tonight: sec 116, sixth row.  i got a ticket last night for below face - woohoo!  i didn't want to do GA because i'm not sure when i'm going to make it to the venue.  i'd really like to catch MV but work might not allow for that.  been listening to badmotorfinger and superunknown recently, haven't done that in years.  the albums have lost a little shine but still hold up to multiple listenings.  should be a good show tonight, looking forward to it too.

lookin' CA, feelin MN..

Soundgarden was amazing. Played far longer (2.5 hours I think?) than I expected them to. It all started to blend into one giant song by the end, but what a song. Great show. Hope all the new songs/we'll be back banter is for real, because that band sounded fantastic.

I hate being broke sounds like Soundgarden were killer. The Mars Volta keep on shambling these days I guess :-/ Anyone else care shed some light on their performance?

I might go to that Time Columns instore sat afternoon then hit Torche / Big Biz

If I had a soul I would be at Company Flow in NYC.

Soundgarden with Mars Volta was an awesome show.  I had a ticket fiasco that kind of put a damper on the night but the show made up for it.  I had an extra floor ticket I was going to sell for face and someone from Craigslist contacted me for it.  I wanted to get to the show around 6.  There was also early entrance because this was a fan club ticket.  I mentioned that to the guy and he was like yeah yeah I'll be there by 5pm just waiting.  I get there around 5:40 and no sign of the guy.  I called him up and he said he is running late be there in 30 to 40 mins.  I'm like hmmm, ok.  6:30 I call and he said is finally pulling into the parking lot.  Wait some more and 20 mins later still no sign.  I call cell and it goes straight to voice mail.  I get a call around 7:10 and the guy is already in the venue and said, "oh I changed my mind but I have a friend who would take the ticket if you wait around".  I was livid at this point and just said screw it and found some random guy and sold the ticket for 40 bucks.  Unprofessional fuckers.  Other then that Soundgarden was awesome.  They played almost everything and sounded great.  Mars Volta was good too but I can only take so much of them after a few songs  ;D
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: sweetcell on July 13, 2011, 01:03:16 pm
soundgarden was awesome.  the show was everything a good rock concert should be.  i too could watch matt cameron drum all night.  only complaint is that the snare was mixed a little low (tho it was even lower for MV).

there were about 8 women sitting by me who spent the entire show yelling "chris, we love you, take your shirt off!!!", "rip it off cornell!!!" "lose the t-shirt!", etc.  their only goal seemed to be getting cornell topless.  they eventually recruited a bunch of other people to join in the pro-shirtless chants.  i don't think cornell ever heard them but it made for a fun & funny atmosphere.  reverse sexism, woohoo!

text sent to the director: "last time i saw this many people in SG t-shirts: 1995".  thirty seconds after i sent that, cornell says "shout-out to all the folks wearing the old shirts from our first time 'round... can't believe those things are still holding together!" ;D

The Mars Volta keep on shambling these days I guess :-/ Anyone else care shed some light on their performance?

sure: it was certifiably boring, when not downright bad.  omar provided some decent guitar wankery from time to time, but as a band they never came up with anything that i enjoyed.  a case of the whole not adding up to the sum of its parts.  cedric's wailing was annoying.  the mix wasn't very good, very mushy and unbalanced - low snare, too much vox, etc.

Yes, it was awesome.  Red Rocks is unreal and being there feels like a dream.  I feel very luck to have gotten there last year (for Tool) and then this year for Soundgarden.


And Soundgarden is awesome on this tour.  As good if not better than they ever were.  Big contrast from Jane's Addiction a couple years ago who are a shadow of their former selves.

Other than the always spotty Iota sound and the chatty idiots in the back, David Kilgour was great. Perfect mix of Clean classics and solo stuff. "Fish" was a very pleasant surprise. Richard Buckner seemed to have everyone in the room but me transfixed. I thought his set was pretty good but felt as though it dragged a bit in the last half hour. The "co-headline" billing was also misleading; Kilgour played for 45 minutes while Buckner got nearly 1:15. I'm typically a big proponent of "less is more" but wouldn't have minded if this were reversed.

The beer is pretty good. Kind of a chocolatey stout. Only comes in 22oz bottles (at least there). Was $20 bucks which was insane. I think it is cheaper at other bars.

They played 5 acoustic songs (which for Clutch means one acoustic guitar, everyone else was plugged in but the song versions were slower and accentuating their blues quality). Then they all plugged in and unleashed for about 40 minutes more. Working extended jam versions of each song. Sick, sick drum solo at one point. The crowd were going nuts the entire time that they were electric.

Really cool to get their pure rock fury in such a tiny room!

Yes, Guided By Voices at the Hopscotch festival.  Not sure if you know this or not but this was their final show forever.  Now we all know how that goes but that's what it was billed as.  So it was a big deal.

 I've got some videos uploaded if you want to check them out.  Swans was awesome as was Richard Bishop  ;D


I don't buy it!


I think they're going to record an album and tour it.

If it was their final show forever I can live with that too as their 930 show was great and I've seen them a bunch going back to 95...I'll look for your videos!

GBV touring will depend a bit on the album ... is it good? the reception will matter.. if people/critics say its just one more pollard album i don't know a tour will happen..
but if critics and old fans get into it i imagine a tour is inevitable.


it could be great..assuming sprout can contribute 3 or so winners, demos' bass jams like it used to etc.. the combination of these five guys put out some of my favorite music and personally i felt it was never the same afterwards

Licking my wounds that I have to miss both Elbow and The Morning After Girls. I was going to come into town just for The Girls and would have done so for Elbow until I saw the dates. Damned if they didn't fall, yet again, on a mandatory busy work day. My schedule is pretty flexible but every time a band comes around that I really, really want to see, it falls on a must work day. What a tease.

Post by: bearman🐻 on September 22, 2011, 10:12:26 am
I loved the Peter Hook show. A very different kind of performance from last time, which was punkier. This one felt more proficient and technical, and of course it fully embraced the jewel that is Closer. At one point during "The Eternal", I couldn't help but think that the music of Joy Division is one of the greatest artistic achievements. You could put Joy Division up there with Michelangelo. I know that's a bold statement, but to me their language is one that has never been replicated by imitators. There was a lot of great post-punk music in the late 70's/early 80's, but to me Joy Division the work of Joy Division is original and unprecedented. That's why they're regarded with such respect. And the bass line from "She's Lost Control" is one of the coolest riffs ever. When Peter joined in on bass for the climax, that was total genius. He owned it.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: hutch on September 22, 2011, 10:47:27 am
I also loved the show.. wish I had not been so skeptical when the Unknown Pleasures Tour took place as thats far and away the album I prefer but he did play a few from there.. of course its odd to see a "Joy Division" show where the bassist hardly plays bass, the singer is dead, and the bassist's son plays bass.. its a bit strange and you have to just stop thinking and go with it..


But Hooky really was concentrating on the singing and channeling his Ian Curtis and he did a bang up job... at one point my friend commented on just how much he was sounding like Ian.


Atmostphere was on the set list but they didn't play it did they?!?

A few diehards waited outside after the show and about an hour later he did come out and chat/sign/take pictures. Nice guy.

A real shame what has happened with New Order.

At the end of the day I think Ian Curtis would be happy that his music is out there being performed.

Joy Division's music is stills so "modern" that even though the show was a big nostalgia fest it still felt alive at least to me.

Not sure anyone else made it up to Philly for Riot fest, but that was easily my favorite festival I've ever attended. Being around a bunch of fellow punk rock music geeks was so much fun, as was seeing people like DJ Bonebrake and Joe Jack Talcum wandering around talking to folks. I've discovered that I cannot stand festivals with more than a couple stages. Focus on one or 2 genres, trim the fat, and keep the attendance size and price manageable. One day in an urban area is perfect. Lollapalooza is for the young 'uns. I realize I'm getting older, but the nonstop assault of bands like the Suicide Machines, Hot Water Music, X, Dead Milkmen and the Descendents made for a truly exceptional evening. Milo brought his kids onstage for "All-o-gistics", which was about one of the most awesome things I've ever seen. Positively adorable. The festival set off fireworks when they went on stage and it was so great to see them going off during "Silly Girl". And nothing sucks about seeing X perform the Los Angeles LP either. And I'm sorry to say this, but Philly has become my favorite city to see live music. Not that the 9:30 Club isn't still amazing, but Philly audiences aren't as jaded.

One thing of note is that as you get older, you tend to not want to be around hordes of younger, drunk, sweaty strangers bumping up into you constantly and calling you "bro" or "dude". None of that at Riot Fest. Plenty of room to move around. If you wanted to go into the pit, it was there...but you never felt trapped or that you couldn't go find your own space. And frankly, that's a huge bonus to me. Coachella used to be like that. Not anymore.

Wilco did seem a bit short due to it ending by 10:20, but it also started pretty early at about 8:20, so I think it was about 2 hours, which isn't bad.  The new stuff sounds fantastic, great show.

The 8 new Wilco songs they played last night sounded fantastic. I wish it was a bit shorter actually, like 90 minutes...would have been perfect without the Foxtrot songs. Also, ending with Monday and Outtasite is so predictable. And Nick Lowe was kinda boring.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: gaaaaaaaaah on September 26, 2011, 01:32:22 pm
It was an okay Wilco show. I was disappointed with the setlist (felt like a greatest hits set due to the NPR stream) but the new songs fit in really well, and they played a decent number of older songs.

Still, for a set that seemed to lean towards the kind of crowd a pavilion show will draw in, they rocked it. I feel a bit wrong complaining about hearing songs like A Shot In The Arm or I'm The Man Who Loves You, I'm just comparing last night's setlist to the 2009 Lyric Opera House and 2010 National shows, which had ridiculously deep setlists.

Wilco is definitely mainstream as far as music goes. Their album will probably debut in the top 10 and their last one I think was in the top five!

Having said that at the end of the day there's nothing wrong with not knowing who they are... my statement was not pejorative.. I was just surprised! :)


I myself loved Wilco in the 90s..this is a different band now and they are very tight live but their studio work is not really all that in my opinion.


One of my favorite shows remains November 16, 1999 at the 930 club..must of been around when Summerteeth came out (still my favorite) ...Old 97s opened and blew the roof off the place... at the time there was no divider between the stage and the crowd...me and 10 friends were up by front left using the stage as our party table leaving our beer bottles up there.. it was a low stage at the time... then Wilco came out and held their own.... what a great show.. I've seen other people mention this show as a winner also...

I agree about them being mainstream. I can think of only one person in the 30-40 age range I've encountered who hadn't at least heard of Wilco, and she just seems like someone who is not into music or pop culture at all.

That Wilco/Old 97's show you mention may very well be the best double bill show  i've ever seen.

Actually, I thought better than when I saw them in the 90's. Loud, crunchy, but well-rehearsed. But as usual, typical chatty Friday night Black Cat crowd. Kind of annoying.

Looking forward to Throwing Muses on Friday.

Roedelius last night was exponentially better than I expected. The Cluster set from three years ago made me think he would get up there and hit a few keys/click a few mouse buttons on a laptop and call it a day. He did the opposite. Played a mix of dark psychedelic ambient pieces as well as some beautiful piano compositions that had everybody in a trancelike daze. He also seemed to be having a great time; chatting up anyone who wanted to talk to him and signing records before and after his set.

Now that sounds like an incredible musical experience. Wish I could have been there.

Not sure about the one band but definitely go to see Last Remaining Pinnacle, especially if you have a love of saturated drone. That's Dave Allison's band who owns Custom Made Music. (Ceremony, Screen Vinyl Image, Black Nite Crash, etc.) I think I might have one of their songs as a free download on my Air Atlantic Underground (http://www.airatlanticunderground.com) website. Can't remember though. I know it's always airing on Air Atlantic Underground Radio. I'm losing it. Ha ha. The song is called "Students Of The VU" which I love. Chock full of drone.

I considered it but opted for that Foreign Resort/Last Remaining Pinnacle thing.

Last Remaining Pinnacle were really cool musically; as Jaguar said, lots of shimmering drony guitars. Some lyrics made me cringe, though. Foreign Resort were pretty impressive for a seemingly new band. They had a shoegazy cure thing happening and pulled it off well.

Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: bearman🐻 on October 15, 2011, 11:21:34 am
Nothing from the Real Ramona (no, they didn't play "Two Step"), but they have a TON of other great songs. Kristin Hersh has an old soul. Dave Narcizo's drumming is so tribal/primal and when it combines with her voice, it's a sound unlike anything I've ever heard. That guy pounds his drums like he's fighting them. Throwing Muses was probably the best show I've seen this year. She's the real deal. I've always respected and loved artists like PJ Harvey for the same reason, but I get bummed out when people forget that she's a genius. That place should have been packed.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: brennser on October 16, 2011, 07:58:23 am
yup, EPIC show - Narcizo is a beast - I felt mildly embarrassed for them that so few people were there

this is (I think) the 4th time I've seen them for the "last" time - hopefully this ain't the last time i see them

This show didn't do much for me. I am burnt out on concerts I think! Its great to see Janet Weiss, probably my favorite drummer, and Carrie Brownstein.. 2/3 of Sleater-Kinney ain't chump change... but they just don't have enough songs that make much of an impression on me.. For $15 its hard to complain but I enjoyed them more earlier in the year when it was fresh, expectations were less,, and it was easy to overlook the fact the songs aren't there.. Like I said a few of the songs are really cool (Romance for example), and I could listen to Janet Weiss drumming all night,  but when the two encore songs are covers with an immediacy lacking in most of the show something is missing. The show is up on NPR for anyone to listen to and make up their own mind.

PRO: merch stand had the new album fully autographed..nice touch..lady working there said she'd sold me the sleater cat t shirt i was wearing.. i said "that was a real long time ago.. like at least 12 years!" . she said she'd worked merch that tour...so 2/3 of sleater is touring with sleater's merch lady...you do the math.

CON: stinky crowd.. guy next to me at one point smelled like an ash tray... his chick was gassing it up or something too...

actually the con was i just wasn't that into the show.. i do really enjoy seeing janet weiss.. she's a monster drummer..

Eleanor Friedberger or whatever her name is sounded better to me last night.. too bad i only caught a few songs

6:30 active child
7:15 or 7:30 - M83
8:30 show ends

9:00 doors for late show

Historically, shows at the Black Cat tend to start later and end later on Fridays, like 12:00 or 12:15, because the Metro runs later. I suspect there'll be a longer gap between the openers and M83 in the later set. I'd be surprised if M83 took the stage before 10:30.

If anyone has extra ticket to M83, please PM me.

joe: late show.

i have no idea how long M83 will play for, but based on that schedule they'll only have an hour or 1:15 for the early show.  if they play longer than that, then the second show will start later than scheduled.  i certainly hope they play for more than an hour. 

obviously they don't have the same time contraint for the late show, hopefully we get a longer set ;D  i forget how long their set was on the last tour.

i might have an extra for the late show.  i most likely won't know for sure until friday.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: azaghal1981 on October 26, 2011, 06:57:35 pm
Yeah this.


I would say the late schedule will look like this. 9:00 doors, 9:45 Active Child, 10:45-11 M83, 12-12:15 end of show.

W/R/T last tour, I am not quite sure on the exact length of the show but I wanna say it was on the shorter side. I was able to catch it all and make it in time to the Velvet for The Homosexuals.

Saw Wild Flag and Dum Dum Girls last week -- agree that Wild Flag was better the first time, both in the actual playing and that the songs were all brand new and were such a delightful surprise.  But I enjoyed the show last week as well.

Then, what the hell was up with the Dum Dum Girls?  I have two albums, music is fun.  Thought it would be a no-brainer post-DC United fun time on a Saturday night.  Man, not the case -- no fizz, no energy, no...nothing.  Very disappointing.

Saw Matthew Sweet last night -- "Girlfriend" is a great, great album so it was great for me.  Do no like the Birchmere for a power pop show.  I wanted to show more enthusiasm than I could.

Seeing Naked and Famous Friday.  Fingers crossed for a good show.

Then I've got nothing until Joy Formidable/Social D/Foo at Verizon.

Oh yeah, also saw the Wombats and Postelles last Friday.  Early show.  Enjoyed both -- perfect for an early Friday show, got my energy up for later Friday night festivities around town.  I'd see the Wombats again...

Oh man, the only thing worse than wearing a band's shirt to their show is wearing a shirt of their PREVIOUS bands!  ;)

so in this scale, where does bands wearing their own shirts on stage (http://www.spin.com/gallery/shirt-happens-rock-stars-wearing-their-own-merch) rank?

Saw Wild Flag and Dum Dum Girls last week -- agree that Wild Flag was better the first time, both in the actual playing and that the songs were all brand new and were such a delightful surprise.  But I enjoyed the show last week as well.
Aw, I missed you, Bags! I was there too, but I didn't see you. I agree Wild Flag wasn't as tight as the first show, but the song they played to end their main set was pretty awesome with Carrie knocking over the mic stand and generally going nuts. That was better than anything in the first show, but the first show was better overall, I'd agree. Splitting hairs though. For my money, these two Wild Flag shows were two of the top 5 shows of the year so far.

It's a proven FACT that only two groups of people can wear their own shirts:

1) Members of hard rock/metal bands.

2) Pro Wrestlers.

It was a solid show. Songs were played really well. Song selection was not my favorite though. "Teen Angst" was the only thing they played off their best album, IMO. They also played nothing from Dead Cities. Some of the Saturdays = Youth material was reworked/remixed and the new stuff translated really well live though I still have not fully embraced Anthony's new vocal approach. They appear to be going for a big arena rock type sound which would have sounded better in a bigger room. It felt to me like the BC system was not able to do it justice. 930 next time, Seth?

Post by: sweetcell on October 29, 2011, 12:20:58 pm
quick recap: these were the first shows of the tour, so there were still working out some of the kinks.  anthony said that the early show was crap, and after their first song they had to stop the show while a roadie came out and fixed a keyboard/cable problem.  the female vocals (morgan) were too loud in the mix for the first few songs, but eventually they got it right.  that being said, it was a solid show.  played a good mix of new & old, with the new stuff sounding good.  if i had left after the main set, i would have though it was a solid show but not top-10-of-the-year material.  the encore, however, was amazing.  not quite mind-blowing, but up there.  morgan's vocals on skin of the night were perfect, and couleurs turned the place into a big dance party.  all the way through i thought to myself, "FINALLY!".  i got my $15's value in those 10 minutes.

setlist:
Intro
Midnight City
Kim and Jessie
Teen Angst
Run Into Flowers
Wait
We Own The Sky

YES PLEASE.  i was unimpressed with the black cat last night.  all in all, it's a very average venue and some things about it are down-right shitty.  the ceiling is too low, the PA is unimpressive, the sight lines are bad unless you're up front, people talk too much, and it feels run down.  last night, the only good thing about the BC that came to mind was the bands it books - if you're into smaller/less mainstream/indie'er/etc bands, then i'd understand one someone loves the BC.  but given the choice between seeing a band at the 930 and the BC, would anyone choose the BC?

saw the early show. occasional stage banter apologizing that they were off.  i guess i didn't notice much, i was pretty blown away by their energy.

would see them again in a heartbeat at 930. agree with the shittyness of BC's sight lines. Thought the sound was good though.

Oh, I guess Run Into Flowers is on Dead Cities. But I would have still liked to have seen more pre-Saturdays material represented. A minor complaint about what was otherwise a really good show. That Couleurs was indeed phenomenal.

Its obviously inane to compare the Black Cat and the 930 Club; they serve different purposes and generally have different bands play.


The great thing about the Black Cat is ticket prices tend to be quite cheap as are beer prices.. its a night out that won't break your bank in this increasingly yuppified DC..

The line between which venue books what bands is becoming more blurred. M83 easily could have sold the club out last night and I would be shocked if they did not play there the next time they come through.

every year going back since i've moved to the area in 93 there have been a select number of shows at the black cat that could have made at the 930.

the clubs largely serve two differing constituencies/demographics.. you go the 930 you see an older crowd with iphones having no problem spending $7 for a beer..its just not like that at the black cat which continues to retain its roots in DC's punk scene. god bless dante!

the 930 is my favorite club in the world.. but to pretend the black cat should have the sight lines or sound of the 930 when the bands that play there often play for less than half (or worse) that those at the 930 do..well...
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: hutch on October 29, 2011, 03:47:02 pm
a more interesting question would be comparing the old black cat to the new one.. i think the old one had better sight lines.. certainly a higher ceiling..course it was smaller


listen in this age of 14th street yuppification i'm just grateful for every day the black cat stays in business.. you better believe some developers are talking dante's ear off to sell the place and replace it with ultra fancy condos with a lower level cheesecake factory or some expensive bar serving $10 pina coladas.

black cat shows tend to have smaller bands that charge less..thats just reality.

I agree with regard to the different crowds but bands do go back and forth more often than you think. Another example off the top of my head: Boris tonight are playing the BC. Last time they came through, they played the club. And the only reason I brought the club up is because M83 appear to be trying to appeal to the typical 930 crowd you described above. Their current sound is just made for a bigger room/stronger system/less music nerdy demographic.

yup, shows are cheaper at the BC so that's a plus for them.  on the other hand, i would have paid $5 or $10 more for a better PA and better sight lines.  i realize not everyone would agree.

beer might be cheaper at the black cat ($6 for 16 oz of draft vs. $7 for 12 oz at 930), but WTF is the deal with their over-priced water?!?  $4 for a silver blue-and-red can that they called a "tall-boy".  ridiculous!
Title: Re: This week rollcall

There are two reasons that one might prefer a Black Cat concert to a 9:30 Club concert. First, the 9:30 Club shows I attend are just too damned crowded usually, so crowded that it's hard to see around the heads of people right in front of you, but I can show up at most Black Cat concerts halfway through an opener's set of even the most popular acts and still get almost all the way up front. To get the same vantage point at a 9:30 show, I have to show up an hour before doors open, it seems to me. Maybe I'm going to the wrong shows at the 9:30 Club. Also, the Black Cat has wonderful air conditioning that they actually push cold air through during the concert. A crowded show at the 9:30 Club is almost always uncomfortably warm, and I rarely ever notice the 9:30's AC as being on. That said, the sound is pretty much always better at the 9:30 Club, of course, but lately I tend to have more relaxing, fun times at Black Cat shows.

Ridiculous? yOU'RE JOKING? I've seen the tall boy at DC happy hour prices at $4.

Amazing deal.


Its a nice option for people that want a beer but aren't too particular...

My favorite beer at the Black Cat is the Fosters Oil Can......keeps you set up for a while..

I fully agree with this! Not that the 9:30 would lose points due to all of their other advantages. To me, they are both great clubs with their own charms. It's not a competitive thing in my mind but, instead, two great musical experiences.

Getting back to the point, when it came down to it, I stopped going to the Black Cat a long time ago solely because of the lack of available parking. It wasn't so much a conscious decision but when I look back on why I opted out of so many shows that I would have otherwise loved to have attended, it always came down to not wanting to leave that much earlier to wrangle for so few parking spaces. Unfortunately, taking any sort of public transportation was not an option for me. Plus, if a show was on a work day, I usually wasn't able to leave early enough to get there in time to include a good 45 minute or so ride around the neighborhood until something opened up. With that said, I do miss seeing shows there since I've always really liked the place.

parking? couldn't care less about that... certainly don't think more highly of a rock and roll club because they offer PAID parking...


I'm a walker.. i can park my car where there are spots and walk to the clubs and enjoy it..or I can metro.


anyways, this is silly.. of course the 930 is a great club but if the black cat was just like the 930 it would simply be the 930.. what would be the point of that.. its the diversity of the experience that matters... when you go to the show at the black cat its not like the 930 and thats a good thing and vice versa


another plus for the black cat is they couldn't care less if you take pictures or video.. for me thats a nice thing.. at the 930 you're always worried someone is going to come up to you and tell you not to do it.. they are nice about it for sure though...

another plus about the black cat is the artists often work the merch table or come out after show ad walk around..i've had nice conversations with members of bands i like at the black cat.. its just more relaxed and informal.. at a mountain goats show in the 90s john simply let everyone backstage after the show... a few years ago i had a beer and talked with one of the guys from sloan.... dean wareham and britta came out and mingled.. i've never had that at the 930


like i said i love both places but props to the black cat for existing in a cesspool of yuppydom.

Says the guy who threw a royal shit fit when MBV chose to play Richmond instead of right in your neighborhood.  ::)  Though those are big pluses for your personal concert life, not all of us have it that easy when it comes to seeing a show. Almost ANY show, for that matter; so, for us, it does matter. The show experience itself might not be any different but we have to be able to get to the show before we can actually see the thing.

Maybe you haven't been there on the right nights or just don't know the way it usually works out at the 9:30. I've mingled with many different bands there from Spiritualized to Elbow, only to name a few. Lots of other forum members were there too. Some of them just come up to us and start socializing which is very different from most other club experiences.

well i'm always willing to learn when you've got something to say..

what am i doing wrong? show ends you hang out and the 930 staff tells you to leave.. should i go to the backbar and sit there? please, i'm all ears.

I've been I have to guess to at least 100 shows at the 930.. so please do tell.

A band skipping DC in favor of Baltimore or Richmond is a serious issue....Just from a respect perspective I'd think people would get that... the last thing you/we want is bands thinking they can play Richmond or Baltimore and do better than by playing DC.. think about it. We want DC to be automatic..


Remember Cleveland? Everyone used to play there..EVERYONE.  now its an afterthought and if you live there more than half the time you have to go to Akron, Toledo, Dayton or wherever... is that what you want DC to be? (before some asswipe wants to distort what i'm saying: i obviously realize that has a bit to do with economics and how Cleveland developed or didnn't..)


Add: thinking back ok i have had some encounters.. met margo timmins one time..  Marc Perlman (maybe Louris too..iffy on that one) of the Jayhawks..got backstage the night Kasabian played.. but they've been very VERY few and far between and there have been many times I did just about anything i could think of to meet the artist/get autographs (Nick Cave , Pogues) and come out way empty so....yes, in my experience the 930 is far more impersonal than the Black Cat with respect to artists and that makes sense as the Black Cat is sort of Triple AAA and 930 the major leagues..

Thumbs down.

1. security out front makes you do the "T" and pull your pockets inside out.
2. once you get inside you have to do a line where they ask for your id and run it through a machine... never seen this in my life! looking for people who might owe child support and maybe more..unclear whether they would arrest you although I didn't see any cops (I was too busy yelling at them to ask pertinent questions)
3. the place was COLD.. not sure if its not finished or there is a hole somewhere but I was cold.
4. my friend had seats in the VIP area.. a little table facing stage up in balcony... only three beers on tap... shocktop, sam adams maybe seasonal and some shit beer i can't remember.. you can't stand up in your VIP table area to dance cause your head would block table behind you.
5. place was crowded.. if you think the 930 gets crowded well this was crowded and since its noticeable wider than 930 forget about moving if you're in the middle.
6. when you get out after a while they start with the barriers to close off area in front of Fillmore.


Sound was quite good though..I will give it that.. they had some posters on the wall.

Ziggy Marley needs some help with his band.. only one female backing singer but two keyboards, two drums/percussion..a guitarist that is completely by the books and has not an ounce of soul. Enjoyed Ziggy last time so much more... it was weird he's singing about Freedom after we've had the id check... then he's singing get up stand up and everyone in the tables is sitting. I found a corner they "let me" dance in the VIP area but I felt like the VIP ropeline worker was this close to telling me to sit down. nuts.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to check it out though...

I went a few weeks ago and I'd say the only redeeming qualities of the place are in no particular order...

1. You can smoke pot
2. I found it had a nice amount of room, even with the show being sold out.

4. I think that's it

My guess is this is because it was Ziggy and they were looking to limit the drugs brought it.  I've been there twice and they didn't do this.   Doesn't 9:30 uptick security measures for certain shows, too?

My only complaint about this is that it's inefficient and poorly run.  You walk in and there's a table with a dozen or so people around it, but no real line - not that there's much room because it's right inside the door to the main room.  I've seen these scanners in a bunch of places.  They're getting to be more common.  I'm not a fan of it, but I'm not sure it's connected to anything that could lead to an arrest.

on friday i was pretty surprised to smell pot at m83's show. for a place that kicks you out for crowd surfing, i imagine it was rare case and probably doesn't fly more often than not.

^Fun show, that was.


Needed more Yow crowd action.


I know it is hard to crowd surf on air, though. Sucks about the low turnout.


Sadly got there late and missed all but the last Kepone song.

Kepone was pretty rad!

Scratch Acid was awesome except that weak DC crowd. If the show was in Baltimore it would have been RAW! I did enjoy the sound a lot.

Scratch Acid was really good, but I really miss getting to see David Yow in a packed room full of people freaking out.  Turnout last night was probably about half of what it was for the Jesus Lizard 9:30 club show in 2009.

A smaller venue couldn't book them because they probably had an absurdly high guarantee.
That same show on the BC backstage would have been one of the craziest of the year.
Still beats not seeing them.

Yes, Mr. Brilliant Pants, that is what I am saying.

I'm sure the club know enough about what they're doing to charge enough so that they make something. They have been doing this long enough and undoubtedly expected the turnout they got. If the choice was see Scratch Acid with a few people or not see them at all, I would go with the former. And maybe the club agrees.

interesting but..

I'm not sure the 930 operates like that: booking a band and paying them what you posit was a high guarantee -when no one else will- as an act of charity....


If they booked them I'd think they'd have thought it would have attracted more of a crowd..otherwise they'd have left it to someone else..

I don't think it's selling well at all.  This summer's Raleigh show was moved to a smaller venue just days before the show.  The State College show was canceled due to "production issues" (or something like that).  The AC show I'm going to has a couple thousand seats available - pretty much the entire upper-level.

Turns out he's doing both.  He DJs before the show and between bands.  Last night he was doing it from the soundboard area - where that 2nd stage was in the back of the floor.  He'll be at the next 2 shows, too.

I find it very hard to enjoy arena shows..too many lunkheads.. and my seat in 101 was just too far away.. my bad for pulling the trigger on it. Where I was sitting two clowns kept going in and out the entire show (always  in the middle of the songs) to get more beer.



I'm sure it was amazing but there are very few bands I can enjoy in an arena with a seat so far away.

I was surprised by how little Grohl came down the runway or whatever..

Social D sounded great and the meathead quotient was low for their set.. their set was too short...


One guitar too many in the foos


Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: gaaaaaaaaah on November 12, 2011, 12:38:16 pm
I had a great time last night. My seat was a kinda weird angle, but not bad at all.

I was very impressed by the Joy Formidable. I've only heard the single of theirs that DC101 plays a bit, but that was a fantastic opening set, and I'd love to see them on their own. The little jam/noisy bit at the end of Whirring was terrific. It felt like a young band doing their best to take advantage of playing to an arena crowd and from what I could tell of the floor, people were digging it. Good for them.

Social D were good, but maybe not my thing. A couple songs really grabbed my attention, and I'd probably like the others if I were familiar already. But they sounded great, and must have had a bunch of fans there by the size of the crowd for their set. And the t-shirts on the three kids next to me.

Then the Foos were terrific. I'd never seen them, but I pretty much knew exactly what they'd play. I can't fault them for playing their two dozen songs that an arena of people know by heart, but I would have loved to have heard Big Me or Aurora or I Should Have Known or more from S/T or Colour and Shape. That's a petty complaint because the songs they played were so great. Once they played Stacked Actors I was pretty much set. That's probably my favorite FF song. I stood up the whole set and a lot of folks in my 200 level seat did the same, and it looked like the higher seats were mostly standing too. Good crowd from where I was, but I'd believe it if you said it was shitty elsewhere.

It was nice to see Dave in storytelling mode for a bit, and he seemed genuinely happy to be back in the area. Hopefully they come back again quicker than last time.

This was probably the first real arena (unless Patriot Center counts) show I've seen, and I didn't mind the venue at all. I wouldn't want all my shows to be arena sets, but it was a nice change of pace from clubs and theaters.

I was surprised by how little Grohl came down the runway or whatever..

Really? Having a second solo stage rise up at the back of the arena and dedicating two major portions of the show to that stage wasn't enough for you? He even commented on how he did that to give the people with shitty seats in the back something special. How many other arena bands give a shit about that? What would have satisfied you, if he came and played in your lap?

I thought Grohl orchestrated a pretty amazing feat of rock showmanship last night. You could tell he was putting his all into giving the audience the best possible show. I don't even really dig the Foo's on the radio but Grohl and Co. transformed themselves to deliver one of the most fun arena performances I've seen in quite awhile.

was pretty resigned to not going to the foo fighters show last night until medmad came through with some front row uppers.  the last 4 times i've seen dave/the foos have been from 25 feet away or less, luckily their stage show did a great job of filling the whole arena.  not sure if the people on the floor could see this, but the entire stage was made up of LCD panels (video 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1ayQhgEQSM), video 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeOwoSi_3DQ)).  from my vantage point i got the full effect of the light show. speaking of the floor, it was way undersold (pic (https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/OQ5cQwIb5SH-dYpQQ9nJ0Q?feat=directlink)).  a few hundred more people could easily have fit in there.  it was a little embarrassing when dave ran to the back mini-stage and there was no one on the barricades.  maybe it's fire/safety regulations that stipulate you can only have X number of people on the floor, regardless of whether they're standing or sitting? 

the show was 3 hours long, the encore being an hour of that (which we saw from the lower bowl, having snuck down).  i can see how some might say that's too long, but i loved every second of it since the show just kept getting better as it went on.  dave really gave it his all and local references were fun, like describing the soulless malls of springfield, but he might want to get some new stage banter material: he's been flogging that story about the girl in grade 7 who broke his heart for some time now.  it was cool to see bob mould brought for the encore but i feel his presence wasn't used to it's full potential.  it was great to see how much love pat smear got when he was introduced.  more pix (https://picasaweb.google.com/sweetcell/FooFightersDC20111111?authuser=0&feat=directlink) & setlist. (http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/foo-fighters/2011/verizon-center-washington-dc-43d18723.html)

for others who were at the show - dave twice mentioned "see you at the 930".  i thought he meant that he would play there at some point, but the missus thought that he was inviting people back there for a drink immediately after the show.  did anyone else catch this?  did anyone head over to the 930??

joy formidable: pretty meh, for me.  their first few songs were alright but that noise-jam at the end just bugged.

social d: i love me some mike ness, but something didn't click last night.  their performance was fine, but i didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the other times i've seen them.

I was able to trade my nyc floor ticket for a dc floor.  I wish I could make it to the ny show but I couldn't.  I wasn't able to sell my 217 level ticket but I could see it from the floor and it didn't look like a bad area.  I thought Joy Formidable are really starting to blow it up.  I've seen them a few times already and love watching them.  Social D was pretty good and I've seen them like 11 times now or so through out the years.  Mike Ness still brings it.  During their set a mini mosh pit broke out which cleared the area around me.  I was happy it cleared the area out because there was this couple behind me who would just talk the entire time during Joy and Social D.  It was just nonsense stuff too and of course they had to shout talk since it was so loud in there.  The mosh pit took care of those two  ;D  Foo Fighters were pretty good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ULjd6u_66U  Dave still tells the same stories and I didn't realize this till now, but has been telling each city they will come back to play in a smaller club.  Tonight they play NY, so he will probably say they will come back to play Roseland or Terminal 5.  All in all good show  ;D

right, and my point is that that "capacity" it set too low - not that my opinion if worth much, since i'm not in the crowd safety business :)

I'd love to take credit for the music last night, but alas they had their own DJ... who took it in slightly different direction then I would have.

Show wasn't as good as it could have been, seemed like the band has a lot of filler or a 90min set much of it ballady.  They seemed stuck in first gear most of the night, but I suspect they have a killer festival set an it's possible they have been out several months touring the same record and are probably getting tired, his voice seemed a bit rough early on.  Fitz strikes me as being a bit like Robbie Williams little brother or an ex-boy band member, clearly a lead singer with more than a few moves.  Band IMHO needs a guitarist and full horn section to really come alive.

the show was 3 hours long, the encore being an hour of that (which we saw from the lower bowl, having snuck down).  i can see how some might say that's too long, but i loved every second of it since the show just kept getting better as it went on.  dave really gave it his all and local references were fun, like describing the soulless malls of springfield, but he might want to get some new stage banter material: he's been flogging that story about the girl in grade 7 who broke his heart for some time now.  it was cool to see bob mould brought for the encore but i feel his presence wasn't used to it's full potential.  it was great to see how much love pat smear got when he was introduced.  more pix (https://picasaweb.google.com/sweetcell/FooFightersDC20111111?authuser=0&feat=directlink) & setlist. (http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/foo-fighters/2011/verizon-center-washington-dc-43d18723.html)

for others who were at the show - dave twice mentioned "see you at the 930".  i thought he meant that he would play there at some point, but the missus thought that he was inviting people back there for a drink immediately after the show.  did anyone else catch this?  did anyone head over to the 930??

joy formidable: pretty meh, for me.  their first few songs were alright but that noise-jam at the end just bugged.

social d: i love me some mike ness, but something didn't click last night.  their performance was fine, but i didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the other times i've seen them. 



Cool, glad you liked the show.  Bummed to miss it, hopefully (doubt it) they come to the club.

the capacity of the floor is set based on the space available.  if all of those people cram up to the front, the back looks empty.  it was at capacity.

incidentally, what is the capacity of the floor at verizon for GA shows?  i'm guestimating 1,200 (based on a review of pix from the Foos show).  anyone know for sure?

show wasn't that good, and you got the dj shaft? makes me glad i sold my ticket and didn't go!

I'd love to take credit for the music last night, but alas they had their own DJ... who took it in slightly different direction then I would have.

Show wasn't as good as it could have been, seemed like the band has a lot of filler or a 90min set much of it ballady.  They seemed stuck in first gear most of the night, but I suspect they have a killer festival set an it's possible they have been out several months touring the same record and are probably getting tired, his voice seemed a bit rough early on.  Fitz strikes me as being a bit like Robbie Williams little brother or an ex-boy band member, clearly a lead singer with more than a few moves.  Band IMHO needs a guitarist and full horn section to really come alive.

No shafting going on, I knew a couple days before the show they were going to have their own music.  It just happened to one of the few shows anymore I was hoping to get to DJ.  At least it was a DJ and no just an iPod and where at least I was hangin' the people around me enjoyed his set.

It was a lot of fun.  Lots of hits, but a handful of songs I didn't know.  He sounded great.   Interacted well with the crowd.  A few good stories.  The 88 was the opening band and they doubled as his backup band.  They did "David Watts" without Ray while he went off to pee or something.   A handful of purely acoustic songs, which were really nice.   I'm pretty sure it was sold out, but there was plenty of room.   A few loud jerks yelling at the end - screaming "YYEEAAAHH" and the end of every friggin' stanza and yelling out song titles in the middle of different songs, but whatever.    Really nice show.

Last night...Lucero proved they are one of the most boring bands in the planet.

And the Truckers killed it. Anybody know the song that namechecked "Sweet Home Alabama" toward the end? I'm not talking about "Ronnie and Neil", which they didn't play.

And who know "The Living Bubba" and "Used to Be a Cop" were makeout songs? Saw two separate bros put the "choke hold/ram tongue down the bitches  throat for extended periods" move on their women during those respective songs.

And there were more beards there last night than...insert your favorite bead reference joke here...

Lucero were great. I was a little concerned when eight of them took the stage, but they pulled it off.

The only thing that DBT killed in the first 45 minutes was apparently the attention of the crowd, which dwindled by roughly half on the floor. They finally kicked it up near the end of their set.  But look how many times the roadie had to come out to ask the crowd to make some noise if they wanted an encore.

I was wondering if you (or any other boardies) were there. Having not seen you for a few years, have forgotten what you looked like.

There was a really tall guy with white hair obstructing our line of vision at one point during Lucero. Was wondering if it was you and how you could have aged so much in just a few years!

Perhaps. I still thought that the first part of their set lacked some energy and didn't really get a head of steam until Carl Perkins. After that they were great, but they played much less time than I expected. Maybe that's the drawback of seeing a band on the first night of a three night stand. They were pacing themselves.

Nonetheless, a sub-par DBT show is still a very good thing.

I've noticed their setlists have gotten shorter in the last couple of years. Hence,  shorter set times. They are becoming geezers like the rest of us.

The song you are asking about is "Play it All Night Long."  It's a Warren Zevon cover. 

I thought it was a really solid DBT show.  Given that I'm not real fond of their last couple of records, it was nice to see them supporting that material less and playing some interseting picks from earlier albums. 

I strongly disagree about Lucero being boring.

Friday was the legendary DBT show for me. Thursday was the weakest but still a very good setlist (although I had to leave after Play It All Night Long to catch the last metro train. Wouldn't have been a problem with the 9:30 start time, but it's a small complaint), and Saturday was a hell of a lot of fun, but Friday just kicked ass, and they really seemed fired up throughout. I know they don't really plan setlists before the show, but it felt like they deliberately put together a set of some of their hardest rockers, and it was just what I wanted to hear them play.

Overall, I'm glad I was at all three shows. Including the covers/Booker T songs from Saturday night, they played around 50 different songs, which is nice to see. I was hoping for a deeper setlist, heavier on the slower soul side of the band on Saturday night, but I can't blame them for trying to keep the energy up. Like someone said, subpar DBT is still a great night of music.

And I'd never been to a NYE show anywhere, so the countdown/balloon drop thing was fun, and jumping straight into Green Onions made it even better.

That is a great encore, but the only song they didn't eventually play at the other shows was People Who Died. I'm very pissed I missed that one though.

And it's not like Play It All Night Long didn't make for a decent set closer anyway.

Also, Friday's opener was more fun than Lucero, who I would probably love if I knew more songs. But I didn't, so the later half of their set started to bore me a bit.

Graveyard was better than I thought they would be. Doomy blues is a good description. They have an awesome rhythm section. The show sold out so it was mighty packed in there. The energy of the whole show was great, the crowd ate it up. Saw "Good show" Steve rockin' out.

Thank you for the Chomsky reminder. For some reason I was thinking that was in March. If you decide to go you may want to get there early; Gildenhorn only holds 300. The last time Chomsky gave a political talk at UMD (1998) it was in Tawes, which holds about four times as many Gildenhorn.

I went to the Friday show. Was way in the back of the balcony and could barely see Mr. Mangum, unfortunately, but I had a great time. I know it's only February, but I'll go out on a limb and say it'll be the concert of the year for me. The show exceeded my expectations, which were already really high.

I love Kurt Vile and have seen him many times and if Monday was someone's first time seeing him, I can see why they'd leave w/a negative impression. Usually solo acoustic suits him well (best?) but there was something a bit off w/his performance. His set at Red Onion a year ago was far superior. Also didn't help that he didn't play some of his best songs from the new album ("Jesus Fever," "Baby's Arms").

I can't, and you're all wrong for thinking otherwise.

Actually, I had trouble getting into the entire show.  But I blame being tired and on the cusp of getting sick more than anything else.  Actually had to bail early during Moore's set...I could barely stand.

But I'm with Hutch...that was a whole lot of racket for an all-acoustic band!

Vile wasn't bad.  I enjoyed his set for a while, but it eventually all started to sound the same to me.  It was fine, but I was ready for him to be done about 10 minutes before he finished.  It didn't help that he was sitting down and it was impossible to see him.

Thurston, however, was fantastic.

As my grandmother used to say about recipes, Portlandia was "not the best".  I guess I thought it would be more like when I went to see Mr. Show or Kids in the Hall.  It was nice to hear the songs, but overall, it was a disappointment.  Still, it was good to see Carrie and Fred on stage, even if it wasn't the best thing ever.

I kept thinking "God, she reminds me so much of Carla Bozulich" periodically throughout the show then realized after a little interwebbing that she played in Bozulich's band for a while. That explained a bunch.

If anyone is debating between the DC9 and Golden West Alcest shows, maybe the start times will help with this.  I was originally going to do the Weds show, so I could have a day between Alcest and Swervedriver, but then i saw start times.

Weds Golden West:
10:00pm until 1:00am

DC9 on Thurs:
ARØBRØS: 7:30 pm BLCK CLDS: 8:15 pm DF HVN: 9:00 pm ÅLCST: 10:00 pm

Yeah but unless I can get off of work on Thursday, the midnight start time for Alcest is going to kick my ass. (though I guess I can just go into work extra late on Thurs)

Plus, I do love Arboretum, but I have yet to see Auroboros or Black Clouds.

Were you able to make it?  You were right, the sound was pretty good in there.  My only complaint about the whole night was the vocals on Deafheaven.  Almost too unbearably loud/shrill... Alcest were amazing, very beautiful and loud and fuzzy, and only one song with demon growls.  I left around 1:40, so I hope I didnt miss too many songs.

And now, on to Swervedriver.

Yes, I thought Deafheaven were the highlight of the night!  very punishing set! I actually loved the sharp, vicious vocals... :P

Alcest were good but I wish the set was more varied (more metal and less shoegazy..or equal). Also wish it was a little louder...
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: killsaly on March 29, 2012, 12:31:51 pm
I would have loved Deafheaven more if i hadnt lost a filter to one of my earplugs and am waiting on a new one.  That -25 db cut would have been nice.

i was surprised and pleased at the amount of shoegaze. 

Also, the crowd was definitely a mixed bag.  Metal fans in their black t shirts, and shoegaze fans in their whatever t shirts (mine was the white sushi shirt Ringo Deathstarr just put out).

Also, I guess I do not know what you look like.

Oh, it was more shoegaze? Good to hear. Plus the fact that if set times are to be believed, tonight should end at roughly 11:30. Four bands might be a little much to stand through after six noise acts last night though.

Yeah too beat to stand through four bands tonight. Plus the DC9 factor makes it less appealing.

It kills me to miss C. Spencer Yeh and Lasse Marhaug that night but that lineup was too hard to pass up. Friday's is no slouch, either. Cannot get enough of that Frankie Rose album.
Also, the Windian party is those same two nights.
And Ultrabunny are in Alexandria Friday.
Weekend of a million conflicts.

Anyone going to see Plants and Animals at Red Palace Friday? Been looking forward to this for a while, saw them with likely 100 other people at DC9 in late 2008/early 09, I believe.  Missed the last time they were in town on H St. They are great live and do their albums justice. They are one of the most under-priced acts in indie, $10? Seriously.

Frankie Rose was the last act and went on at about 11:40 last night. They had five acts playing last night, though. There are four acts listed for tonight but an unannounced "special guest" is listed. Unsure what that means. I definitely think it is safe to say they will go on after 11.

Raw as well?  Nice! Ill be wearing my pink Dolph Ziggler Show Off T Shirt with a Johnny 2012 sign with Excuse Me! on the other side.  I cant wait.  For TLC (my first WWE Event) we had nose bleeds, but for this we are in section 111 on the TV side, not too far up.  We (my WWE watching friends) are also going to Smackdown in Baltimore this summer, and possibly No Way Out in NJ also this summer.

AT NIGHT?!?!?  Man, with my 6am wake-up call, I'm guessing that's not happening.  When did I get this old?!?!

I definitely think it is safe to say they will go on after 11.

That's a definite.  I'm a semi-secret wrestling fan, and a friend who deals with WTOP a lot gets us free tickets when they're in town.  I'm a little behind after canceling cable and only watching the clips they put online, but I saw WM and Brocks' return, so I'm sure I'll be up to speed :)

Snow Patrol was all right, prefer the crunchier stuff and smaller crowds before they made it big. Fun band though, as always. Enjoyable back drop but seizure induced lasers were meh after awhile. (made the show feel like a stadium though better than spotlights in your eye)
Not feeling well so had to skip DeVotchKa - dang it. Probably 4th time I've missed one of their shows. Eish. Anyhow, Nada Surf slot still open if anyone wants to go.

nevermind

"The Mickey Hart Band lineup consists of Widespread Panic bassist Dave Schools, Grammy winning percussionist and longtime bandmate Sikiru Adepoju, Tony Award winning vocalist Crystal Monee Hall, singer Tim Hockenberry,  drummer Ian ?Inx? Herman, guitarist Gawain Matthews, and keyboardist Ben Yonas.   JamBands.com gave the band?s recent tour stop in NYC rave reviews stating that ?Mickey Hart is nothing short of a musical genius and it shines through in everything he does. Whether he?s working with George Lucas, NASA, or throwing together a unique group of musicians for a band, its apparent that Mickey isn?t satisfied doing the same old thing?..?"

...also dig the Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald on draft
  Wave Pictures surprised as well... a sculpture is a sculpture, marmelade is marmelade, etc... their songs actually stuck in my head more than the Allo's did.

DFCF @ Strathmore last night was a lot of fun.  songs sounded beautiful with an orchestra, especially in that room.  loved the song selection, they all worked great with the strings & horns.  Tiny Vessels --> Transatlanticism was a great way to finish.  nice seeing all the usual suspects in attendance too.

Had a great time, and REALLY enjoyed seeing Sweetcell, Lily, Bombay, thatguy, etc. Having Ben take my request for "I'll Be Your Mirror", saying they wouldn't play it, then changing his mind was awesome. That's probably one of my favorite Velvets songs. Loved the show, thought they sounded great.

Sounds sweet, Sweetcell! I cant wait to see them at Sixth and I in 11 days.

Did anyone else go to the Balam Acab/Active Child show?  I should have done more research because I was not expecting most of Active Child's songs to be centered around a harp.  Somehow, even with a harp and operatic singing, they still remained dark and grooving (and amazing, this guy (the bassist/keyboardist and the drummer were touring players) is going to be huge one day).  Balam was good as well, especially sound wise, but he had the place almost completely black and his performance consisted of (i think) him triggering/layering samples hunched over a laptop and midi controller.  I could be wrong, it was hard to see. It was really good to see a witch house/dark R & B show in DC, since we dont get many.  The last one i saw was Salem last year.

It was good. The last time they played the Black Cat, the big sound  they were going for got swallowed up and muffled in that room. It had more room to breathe last night. Similar setlist to the last tour with a few new things tossed in. They played Sitting from the self titled album as well as their remix of a Daft Punk song from the Tron soundtrack. They still only play 70 minutes although they have five records worth of material which I do not understand. I was not feeling too hot and am worse today though so no complaints about the length.

Cardinal/KRE/Cigarette Tuesday

U Hall is cool, like clubs at college and remind me of some overseas. Nice space, GREAT sound. Wish Seth had a hand in a few things to tweak. Overall good night, a little uncomfortable if you have to stand for awhile. There are stools, and a few places to lean, but grab early.

Thursday - Mobtown Microshow with Holy Ghost Party
I can not wait.  Everyone in the area should attend at least one microshow.  Being silent and sitting on the floor (on pillows) might not sound like fun for everyone, but if you ever want an intimate show where a band records in front of you, then go catch one.

Upcoming schedule for mobtown:
May 24: Holy Ghost Party (Hoss Records)
June 21: Time Columns (Oxide Tones)
June 27: Lés Rhinoceros (Tzadik Records)
July 12: Soft Cat (Friends Records)

(im going to at least the Time Columns one, if not also the other two on the list)

The Howard brothers from Cigarette and some other dude whose name I forget. Straightforward pop punk but done well.

If you had left after Ketamines, you would have been out by 1030.


My decision to skip Black Dice was a good one. Since Ketamines went on second, I would have missed half their set.
I guess it was impossible to know the order unless you had asked beforehand though.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: hutch on May 25, 2012, 03:40:14 pm
have to say a few words about the babasonicos show last night at the howard (my first time there)


the show was hardly advertised and at a new venue, still unknown to many, and on the thursday preceding memorial day weekend... this is not the first time the promoters, kesta, have done a terrible job getting the word out.. it is hard to get a handle on the latin rock market in this town.. bands that are considered laughingstocks in argentina (enanitos verdes) routinely sell out venues. .. then a band that plays arena shows down there can't get people to turn out... i honestly think the poor promotion of the show played a serious role..  but I can't be sure how the show would have sold with better promotion. promoting bands from other countries is trickier i think.. since they hardly ever play here .

turnout was poor... disappointing i'm sure for the band.. they ignored it like you have to. for me it actually worked to my benefit. managed to hang out with them backstage, etc.

the venue is very posh... some of the food prices seemed a bit outlandish.. the staff was super professional and polite and even accomodating..a waitress actually took an order for another beer while i was on the floor so i didn't have to lose my spot ... nice touch probably cause business was slow...and what can you say about standing on that ground where ellington, jb and just about everyone played?

when one says a show is "awesome" , what does that mean? i GUESS it means one liked it a lot.. its a subjective appreciation..it really means nothing.

i think babasonicos has put out the best five run album of the past decade... jessico, anoche, infame, mucho and last year's a proposito... so i've been wanting to see them for about a decade and the few times they've hit the northeast its been new york.. i thought the show really delivered..classic, at least for me, after classic... the entire set list.. d'argelos is a superb frontman and the band has augmented its core lineup with long time friend carca and another guy i did not know..meaning they have six musicians plus d'argelos up there which allows them to put together a great sound.. last night it sounded superb where i was standing..

for people who don't know about babasonicos... i'd say they are one of very few "alternative" or "indie rock" bands from Argentina.. in other words they don't have much of a "latin" sound and they are different....definitely the number one band in argentina in that category... well worth checking out if you're not averse to hearing music in a foreign language.. their lps usually count with work by andrew weiss who produced a bunch of ween records including chocolate and cheese, and phil brown who engineered a bunch of classics from roxy music to bob marley has been working for them.. i think if you check out irresponsables on youtube or putita you'd get a good idea..

anyways, i'm glad i made the effort to check them out cause i doubt they'll be coming back to dc! ANd I loved it.. best show I've seen since LCD Soundsystem at Virgin Freefest

Anyone going to Steve Winwood at Wolf Trap on Tuesday? Has anyone taken Metro out there before? Is it a complete and total clusterfuck?
there have been a few posts by people who have metroed and bused it over. (metro to Vienna then bus to Wolftrap I remember?) I think it's okay from what they've said. Just an extended trip as the venue is about another 1/2 hour from the station. Don't know the return schedule. (I've never bused it out there. And, only been to the Barns in off season by car)

i had never seen them live figured i'd check them out. they are not really to my musical taste but i'm glad i checked them out as their show was quite strong-good presence, tight  band, played for about an hour and 35 minutes.

why avoiding rnr?

great lakes swimmers (really good too, but not really my sound) at rnr hotel.
good show? wish i had gone. avoiding rnr or buddying up when i eventually go.

CD Cellar show tomorrow with Cash Slave Clique and some others. I will probably end up there.


I really like that room as a venue. Sounds surprisingly good.

Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: lily1 on June 01, 2012, 10:22:00 am
i don't think rnr is that bad. the sound is ok, not 930 great, but good. on par with black cat. and i just take the X2 bus from gallery place right on over, but i live on the greenline so its easy to get up there and transfer tob us. i've found that the x2 runs rather frequently.

the staff on the other hand, are unpredictable. i was there twice last week. the first time, the bouncer and the ticket staff were just kinda cold and unwelcoming but the second time, they were all friendly and helpful.

their ticketing process kinda sucks. if you want to buy advance tickets you have to do so online with a credit card, or they can do it for you at the venue but you can only pay cash. and i wish they gave you physical tickets. i'm one of those people that holds onto all their ticket stubs to show the grandkids how much of a bad ass grandma was back in the day!

oh, and they have a roof deck! that's nice.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: hutch on June 01, 2012, 01:00:54 pm
I found the RNR Hotel to be an abomination. imagine a narrow rectangular room where the band is in the narrow part and everyone is squeezed together going back to the door so the people in the back can't see jack squat. If you wanted to see anyting you'd have to get there really early - I got there  towards end of opener and was still way way in the back for the White Denim and even if you made it to a good viewing spot which i think would have to be close to stage it would be hard to get back to the bar or use the bathrooms or anything... or have your friends come later and actually find you.. a total clusterfuck.. ALso, I don't even think White Denim sold out so if thats how it is for a not sold out show...


 will never go back unless Billie Holiday is playing her comeback show there or something. I am tall and being able to see the show is what its all about.. if I can't see the show I don't want to be there..I did love the rooftop bar and liked the vibe in the middle room (ACDC , and a lot of metal , hair metal blaring out of juke)
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: eltee on June 01, 2012, 09:23:35 pm
Is the stage especially low? I went to U Hall, and I guess it's a wide rectangle, maybe a square, and while it wasn't filled, I could see the person on stage. (minus a person or two standing in front of me).
I've given up trying to see at shows, I'm too short and most shows are sold out. What I can't stand is when I'm packed in with nose to someone's back.
Thanks for the details, hutch. That's pretty much why I haven't gone yet...Each time I ask if it's gotten better, it hasn't. While commenters appear varied, each seem to have the same bad experiences & observations. I'm trusting those for now.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: StoneTheCrow on June 01, 2012, 11:28:40 pm
My experience @ RnR was fine - staff was friendly, beer was reasonable-ish, got there early enough to be able to see the stage, sound was ok.  I fully agree that if you're stuck in the back of that room you're S.O.L.

The rooftop bar was ok for having a drink outside but did they have to enclose it like that?  Would be nice to have an unobstructed view of something other than the sky.

Dengue Fever & Omar Souleyman Wednesday
The Clean Thursday (I have had similar negative RNR Hotel experiences to those listed earlier and Steve Lambert's scumbaggery has yet to be touched on but it is The Clean and could possibly be my last chance to see them)
Sidenote: I think local musicians are slowly starting to come to their senses and are turning down Hood Booking when approached by them with offers to open shows at the Blowtel/DC9/Red Palace. Hopefully this trend continues.
Back Alley Theater show featuring Susan Alcorn and Insect Factory Friday.

The venue itself is OK (as is DC9 for that matter) but they are run by polling, artist-short-changing pieces of shit. They especially have dicked over (or have been assholes to) tons of local talent.

Loved the Red Palace.  It was sold out, but there was still room to stand, and you can see the stage.  Went to RNR for a sold out show and it was the WORST ever.  I thought it was bad when I saw Wilco at the Recher and couldn't see the band the whole time...the sound was at least great and I could still get to the bathroom.  Forget getting to the bathroom or the bar at RNR and be prepared for assholes to yell at you because you're just trying to go pee....

Purling Hiss on Monday were pretty awesome. They're veering away from the psych toward a more indie-pop direction which surprisingly works. The Young were ok and I only caught a little bit more than a song from The Convocation but thoroughly enjoyed what I heard.

Count down to Farm Fest!

No need to let that stop you. First off, it's a little further north and it's at a higher elevation which means that it will be at least a few degrees cooler. Plus, it's a farm. No real concrete to trap and hold the heat. In fact, you may still wish to have a layer to add later in the evening as it does get much cooler there than in the cities. My friend hates heat and I had a very hard time convincing her that she'd be chilly once the sun went down. She learned though. The sun went down and she got chilly. Maybe it will be comfortable with the extra heat but always a good idea to drag along an extra layer in case you need it. The place isn't that large so you can easily just keep it stashed in the car.

Take a cooler filled with ice and whatever drinks and food you may want. I kept mine in the car and went back and forth whenever I wanted to get something. You could even take a smaller one to stash a few between trips to the car. Was surprised how much ice was left when I got home!

Also, stop in the Dollar Store and buy a couple spray bottles. Fill them up with ice water to spray yourself with throughout the day. Wear white cotton or white gauze for maximum comfort.

Take extra water and make sure you drink plenty of it throughout the day. Don't depend on drinking beer or some other alcohol, or even soda, to rehydrate. A good ratio to stick to with this heat and humidity would be 1:1. One bottle of water for every non-water beverage.

You should go; get you out of the sweltering city.

Oh, and get there early enough to see Bad Liquor Pond. Surprised they are playing so early! Cool Baltimore Psychedelia.

RE: Farm Fest: would love to see Black Moth Super Rainbow again...don't care for the rest

You know, I didn't care about a lot of the bands that played when I went but, in the end, it all didn't matter. It was just such a nice day out in the country around music and people without it being too crowded or crazy. Besides, I love farms and it was nice to just be in that environment, even though the animals were of the human variety.  ;D  Just kidding. There were some cows over yonder.

why aren't you going, Jaguar?

Combination of no money and major car problems that I can't afford to get fixed yet and don't feel safe driving that far until they are done. Would like to go but I'm not crying about it considering that it's only supposed to get to about 95 here today and I plan to go to the pool for awhile. We are now into my very favorite 2 weeks of the year so I'm quite happy.

Why aren't you going? Or, are you?

Killsaly, you pointed out some of the highlights. I'd love to see White Hills. Definitely get your butt rolling though so you don't miss Bad Liquor Pond. Glad you are going!

Looking forward to everyone's after-show reports.

It actually wasnt that bad.  We got there at 6:30 and it was 92 degrees.  Within an hour or so it was very comfortable.  I was able to catch Serpent Throne (fun guitar shredding), White Hills (loud, groovy, and just enough fuzz), Rude Girls Burlesque (not sure why they had it, but it was fun), the Flying Eyes (only time there was a huge crowd around the stage, kicked ass as usual, and they had fire dancers to the side of the stage and a sitar player), and lastly Celebration (technical problems cut their set short, I would only be upset if i hadnt already seen them several times).  I didnt stay for Black Moth Super Rainbow since I wasnt camping and had to drive 60 miles back.  All in all it was a fun and unique festival experience, much like in 2010.  The atmosphere is great, and I would recommend it to anyone. Cheap food, beer, and merch (i bought a poster and 3 American Apparel t shirts for $30), friendly staff, and not a bad spot to see and hear the music on the whole farm.

Farm Fest was a hoot. I saw all the bands. Everyone was really great! no joke! There was a bunch of completely naked girls fire dancing with hoops. That was a little weird haha. The heat was oppressive. But I kept hydrated so it was fine. Bad Liquor Pond was great. Elias from The Flying Eyes was on drums for them. the sitar guy Ryan Mcbride was chill. Max Pain & The Groovies are supposedly the best band in Salt Lake City. I dug 'em. The Pilgrim put on the best show I have seen from them yet! Serpent Throne was excellent as well....Rifftastic is a good word. Burlesque show was tame compared to the hippie girls running around. White Hills were heavy! They really impressed me. Flying Eyes cannot put on a bad show, so my title I give to them is "best band in Baltimore". Celebration is always fun too. The night belonged to Black Moth. they played harder and heavier than I have ever seen them play. No gimmicks this time. Tobacco and his crew just blew the crowd away. Lots of dancing and Elias himself crowd surfed and started the pit. They played lots of new material which sounded great! The nude fire girls (and dudes) were enraptured by the sugary electronic beats. I cannot wait until next year! This thing will be hard to top.

One negative comment. My friend brought a keg and no other booze. we were just gonna sip on that all day. The official rules said nothing about no kegs. So we thought we were golden. We get there and the guys running the "glass bottle check" of people's cars said its a no go because Flying Dog was there selling GLASS bottles of beer. Now the rules said no concert goers could even bring in glass bottles! They candidly said to us that they wanted to make money and so they had to curb people bringing in outside beer. They wouldn't even let us tailgate with our beer in the parking lot. That was fairly lame and hypocritical. But hey we just went out and got shit tons of cans after that.

finally called the first two songs of a show . . . hell in a bucket / candyman.  show was awesome!!!!  weather was perfect.  love the fans blowing cool air in the ga pit; it was the coolest place in the venue.  beer lines were long, but i walked into that 930 club thing bar, and there was nobody there.  got a beer in a minute.  saw a lady being dragged out . . . went up to josh and told him i love him and all he does.  sort of a shakedown, cool scene on the lot, interesting mixture of grey hairs and young'uns.

i just wish phil would stop talking silent into his mike between every song, as if "he" is the one controlling the flow of the show.  god, i hate phil.

Does Shut Up and Play the Hits count?  It's a movie about a show I attended...

How was the movie??  Spike Jonez was behind me during the show filming
 ;D

Oops...am going tonight!  We were right next to a camera, so I'm sure I'll be in it looking very dorky!  Were right behind the GA section.

Move was excellent.  Audience was lame.  No one danced.  I danced in my seat.

I had to skip it. Really grappled with it but I have a knee injury and was in some agony standing at the El-P/Killer Mike show. Also didn't feel like dealing with a mellow show at a sold-out club. My neighbor got shut out of buying tix so I decided at the last minute to skip it and give my ticket to him.

Glad it was good. I know I'm going to be kicking myself for not going.

i do not believe you.  but god i love me some shout at the devil.  its funny that you can relate yourself to knowing that 'hey, i like this kind of music and this is what i listen to' . . . but then you remember that you really liked motley crue 'a lot' at one point in your life.

I've been very open about the fact that I love loud guitars, catchy songs and a great RAWK show. I realize the collective age of the Crue is now about 250 but I'll bet it'll be fun as hell. And I love Shout at the Devil, and Too Fast for Love and Dr. Feelgood. If Vince still has his voice, this will kick ass.

Vince sounded good last night... even Paul Stanley sounded good.

Weird but Motley Crue played a noticeably longer set than KISS.. i thought they were better too....


at one point Tommy Lee's and his drum kit went on a roller coaster circle and he was playing it upside down at the top ..crazy

I was surprised at KISS not playing Deuce or Strutter but maybe it was due to the shortened set list...

Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: i am gay and i like cats on July 21, 2012, 11:00:33 am
totally agree.  the crue destroyed the kiss.  played a hell of a set.  they came out walking through section 100 and 200 dressed in robes and beating drums with smoke and then went onto to the stage.  nice.

kiss was good and it was awesome to actually see them live and see the mixture of fans.  rednecks everywhere, i felt right at home, and some very good looking guys, oh my.  too much fireworks sounding like sonic booms and sometimes vince's voice was screechy and yes paul does come off as a little flamey of the four members and yes the roller coaster tommy lee drum thing was cool and fuck these venues that try to get away having only coors light / budweiser and charging eleven dollars for a big can.  no other options?  what, if you had starr hill or something, would you charge fifteen a beer?  i saw this one guy near me, that after counting his beer cans, he must have spent almost ninety bucks on beer.  but getting out was super easy if you left right when you knew kiss would play what they always close the show with.  all in all . . . an awesome show from start to finish, even the opening band that sounded just like hair band nineteen eighties all over again.  and being first show of the tour, they totally screwed up the timing of bands and setups.  kiss had to rush through their set and paul said from the start they would cram in as much as possible.

in the boxes they had $11 yuenglings big cans and $13 heinekens.. can't remember what else..corona..
i couldn't spend $11 on bud light if you paid me.

never have had it so easy getting there.. took me about 40 minutes from arlington.. zipped in to parking lot no problem.. a very rare case of me driving to a show.

I loved seeing the show just cause I'd always wanted to see KISS... I love Paul Stanley's accent.. I just think of it as a Queens/forest hills thing I guess?

I went to see KISS but I was really glad I caught almost all of Motley Crue because they put on a good show.. when you put Motley Crue/KISS together I thought that was a good value..

I don't understand how setting up the first night of the tour is any excuse.. but I guess it happens.. I just think they are professionals and they have to know how long things will take.. if anyone should have shortened their set it shoudl have been the Crue but they kept going on and on.. I was surprised.. they played probably til 9:30 and you knew that was going to be a problem.. I'm surprised they didn't tell THEM to wrap it up as they had to know it would take a while to turnaroudn the stage for KISS.

my guess is KISS was only too happy to play a shorter set!

I was pleased with show... but something about big venues really turns me off.. I probably won't be back for a few years... I think this was my first show there since Pearl Jam...


 at 9:44 we were heading to the bathrooms  and asked a staff member when KISS would go on.. she said "945". .obviously that was the plan...if KISS had gone on at 945 they could have played 3 more songs but that didn't happen... even 945 seems late to me.. I was thinking they'd go on at 915.. .for them to start at 10 was just weird..

Juanes was great at the Warner tonight... did everything he's supposed to do.. tousled his hair the required amount of times, talked up the HIV awareness campaign he was promoting the required amount of times, played his hits.. heck every song he played is a hit, did the unplugged schtick perfectly testing it out before taking it to arenas all over the hemisphere....... and you know what? I hated every minute of it.. its just not my thing...much like Mana this bland prefabricated calculated latin pop masquerading as rock just doesn't do anything for me... i went cause a friend who got some nice seats for free invited me along and i felt i shouldn't pass it up (I knew I wasn't taking anyone's spot).... but it was exactly what i expected unfortunately.. i know juanes is a good guy.. heck the greatest lyricist now living, Joaquin Sabina, co-wrote one of his new songs on the unplugged album and arguably my favorite musician of all time (other than Dylan), Andres Calamaro, guested on his album a few years back.. but the guy just does nothing for me. sorry. the end.

Anyone have any good recommendations for New Orleans?  Going there this weekend to hear some music, eat some food, drink some drinks.

It's been years since I've been there but here are a few basics. Go hungry. The food is very good and you can't find bad food anywhere. Don't be afraid to try little out of the way places as well as the well known establishments. Just avoid chains. Why bother? You'll be in NOLA!

It's always hot and very humid. Pack and dress accordingly.

The tourist places are cool, as well as some of the off the beaten track places. You might want to visit the Voodoo Museum, if it's still there. It's really more of a shop than any kind of museum. Can't remember what street it's on but one of the major cross streets in the French District. Oh, if Chicken Man is still there (some other voodoo shop, not the Museum) please let me know. He was a really cool character. I remember he was showing us and telling us about this shrunken head he had just brought back from the Amazon. Was charging $5,000 for the thing... not that I was in the market for such an item. Interesting to have a price put on someone's head. Wouldn't condone such a purchase anyway but couldn't believe that I was actually seeing one. All kinds of other cool items in his store though. Then about a year later, I saw him on the Johnny Carson Show. Blew my mind and he was just as much of a character then as he was in his shop. Don't even know if it still exists but would love to find out.

Of course there's always Tipatino's but buy your tickets in advance if you are interested in any of the shows because the place is small.

Royale St. is nice for some garish antiques and other period pieces. Pricey but you can find lots of other interesting items along the way.

Just take scads of money and roam free. A tour of the Garden District is nice to get out and see a little more of the area. Includes some interesting talk about why the houses were built this way and that. Always to avoid some new taxing structure. Should also pass by the real street car named Desire. It's near some McDonald's that is also near a little Eiffel Tower built from removed pieces of the real Eiffel Tower. It had been shortened years ago due to ongoing structural problems.

Take the graveyard tour too. There's some interesting history. It's also where a part of Easy Rider was filmed. It all fits in nicely with the history of the city which is very, very rich in culture and intrigue.

Already have a reservation there for Monday.  Hitting up both cemeteries (St. Louis and Layfayette) and going to MiLa for lunch on Monday.  Other than that, preservation hall and cafe du monde, was going to play it by ear.
Title: Re: This week rollcall

I have been there twice, but only for a few hours each time.  Looking forward to exploring and eating more this time.  Thanks for the suggestions!
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: Jaguar on July 27, 2012, 11:08:11 am
If I remember correctly, as it's been many years since I was last there, the Voodoo Museum was on the same street as Preservation Hall. Could be wrong though but I do know it wasn't far. Then again, don't even know if it's still there. Chicken Man's place is better though.

NOLA is one of the few places where the touristy stuff is as good as the little unknown out of the way places.

A river boat ride would be nice relaxing thing to do too.

Don't even bother with the River Walk. It's nothing but a big mall exactly like you'll find in any old American city.

Please give us a recap once you come back... and rest up. Have a great time!

Post by: Jaguar on July 27, 2012, 11:55:00 am
Sad news. Chicken Man is no longer with us.

"Then there was Fred Staten, "Chicken Man" to the city's residents. A true New Orleans voodoo king, Staten could be found eating fire, handling live snakes and sticking needles into his throat. There was one ritual, however, that earned him his name. He'd hypnotize a chicken, bite off its head and then drink its blood through its neck.

Despite his gruesome proclivities, Chicken Man was often asked to lend his mystical assistance to the people of New Orleans. They would seek his counsel on matters of love, work and money; he'd oblige by giving them what's known as a "gris-gris bag," an amulet of sorts, and they'd have to follow certain instructions in order to achieve the desired result. Chicken Man died in 1998, years before the hurricane."

In any event, if you get to chatting with any of the old time regulars, ask them about Chicken Man. You will be sure to get a good story. RIP.   :'(

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!  Loved Frenchmen Street.  Really great bars and clubs, and the po'boys and fried pickles at Praline Connection were great.  Ate some wonderful food, a ton of oysters, and capped the long weekend off with Cochon and Anthony Bourdain walked in to film his new show!  A great way to end a fabulous weekend of food, music, and drink.

Here's a list of where we went:


Central Grocery - inventor of muffaletta.  The one and only.  I didn't get to go here last time and had to settle for the place across the street.  Not as good.
Bourbon House (good deal on raw oysters at happy hour for one dollar each)
Remoulade (not as good as Bourbon house, but a cute space)
Luke - really great food.  Baked oysters were delicious as was the gumbo and shrimp and grits.  I wanted to try their bread pudding, but was too full!
Bistro B - The only disappointment.  Went there because the BBQ shrimp was supposed to be the best.  The server totally forgot about us and we waited about 35 mins for the entree (we were splitting it).  Didn't even comp our drink!  Annoying. 
Praline Connection - A really low-key spot on Frenchmen.  Overdid it there a bit, but the food was delicious.
Dragos - Went for their charbroiled oysters.  They were good, but I prefered the ones at Cochon.  Entertaining place though as there was some very vocal drama going on with the waitstaff there that day.
MiLa - One of my favorites of the weekend.  Went for their 3 course 20 dollar lunch and it was terrific.  Had a salad, red fish with quinoa and currants, and homemade peach ice cream.  Definitely try to go here if you can.  The bartender at the hotel Wed-Sat is supposed to be one of the best in the city.  Great French 75.
Sazerac Bar - Didn't eat here, but they made my favorite Ramos Gin Fizz in town.
Hermes Bar - Really cool space.  Good Ramos Gin Fizz as well.
Commander's Palace - I went to the bar here as well after a steamy morning at Lafayette Cemetery No. 1.  I will admit that I only wanted to go here because of the Anne Rice Witching Hour book  :)
Went to the carousel bar, but it was too crowded to get a drink.  There was a cocktail convention going on there at the time.
Cafe Du Monde - of course
Cochon - One of the best meals I've ever eaten.  To top off the entire weekend, Anthony Bourdain walked in at the end of our supper to film his new show.  Ultimate foodie sighting for me :)
Toured both St. Louis and Lafayette cemeteries with Save our Cemeteries.  Would highly recommend this group as they use the money to restore and keep up what they are able to in each one.  Very hot, but a great experience.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!  I did manage to get to magazine street and walked so many miles!  Next time I hope to make it to Tipatina's and some of the places I didn't get to this time around (like Patois).

Trillectro tomorrow, VIP deck, open bar, bless you Living Social. Set times are kind of fucking wonky [DJ's playing on the 2nd stage in between the main stage acts making it kind of fucking pointless to have a 2nd stage, that's just me though] but it will still be fun. Interested to see a different crowd at the Fairgrounds rather than the older drunk Nats fans after games.

Agreed on all counts.   Baltimore was definitely fun, but F-Burg was just a crazy-good time.  Everything just clicked.   Even the new songs seemed to be stepped-up a notch in VA.     I'll reserve judgement on the new songs until they've formed a little better, but I'll say that some were a bit better than others.  4 out of 6 sounds about right.

Those shows had me smiling all weekend, for sure.  ;D

How was the Lorelei show?

Sparsely-attended.  I like the new album a lot.  Show was almost all new material (only one(?) older song that I remember). I think a smaller room would've given it a better vibe-- some of the energy just felt lost, although they were all really on.  Matt had the flu so he was under the weather.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: azaghal1981 on August 20, 2012, 11:50:27 am
Matt was sick at Artomatic too. I liked the vibe. It's fun attending a show where I know a huge chunk of the people in the room. The main stage thing was a bit too ambitious but whatever. They were super tight and it sounded surprisingly great upstairs. Windmill was the only old one I remember hearing. Haven't heard the new LP yet (no CD's available? Are Slumberland just no longer pressing them?) but all the new stuff sounded fantastic live. Wound Up would be a radio hit in a perfect pop music world. Looking forward to the Strathmore gig.

I didn't love Airiel-- they felt like shoegaze-by-numbers to me.  The music was OK, but the vocals bugged me (especially the headvoicey female singer from Boston they brought on stage for a few songs, who clearly didn't have much experience singing live with a band of that volume, as she was perpetually off-key).

Check-plus on Screen Vinyl.  Love those guys.  Might head out to see them at the Hut next Monday (or I might go to Dead Can Dance instead).
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: azaghal1981 on August 21, 2012, 11:18:43 am
She definitely was buried too deep in the mix. I preferred the songs without her and while they were derivative, I thought they did the shoegaze thing pretty well.

Oh, right, THAT's where I saw them before. I found a button of theirs in my bag this week and couldn't remember where I got it. Yeah, unfortunately, I didn't get there until right before Airiel started.

I'm sure other people here are wondering why we didn't just have this conversation last night at the show.

Yeah the reliability factor of the 8:30/9:30/10:30 rule of thumb is great but it's gotta be a drag to have to play to an empty room. The worst was when they hosted a Sonic Circuits show a few years ago and forced the first act to begin playing before doors. Not even Steve Lambert's pulled that shit as far as I know.

I think it's actually 8:30/9:15/10:15 in the backstage (although SVI started at 10:30 last night, so the second two times might be a bit more flexible).  Hadn't heard about that Sonic Circuits show--eesh.

No, but the line to get in to the Sons & Daughters / Holy Fck / A Place to Bury Strangers show at the Hotel in '08 was so long that most people didn't get in until after APTBS was done.  Then again, we could all hear the whole show from the sidewalk outside, so it was OK.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: azaghal1981 on August 21, 2012, 03:03:18 pm
It was the show Faust headlined. There were five or six acts on the bill. We walked in and the first act was on. I guess it could've been right at doors but still...Pretty ridiculous.
And that 8:30/9:15/10:15 on the backstage makes sense.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: showlistdc on August 21, 2012, 03:14:10 pm
yeah, if there were that many bands on the bill, makes sense to be extra-prompt-- the BC is very vigilant about getting shows done in time for people to make the metro.  Unlike the Nationals (http://www.wtop.com/109/3001683/Nats-fans-stranded-after-Metro-closes) last night.

I think this show requires a Jaguar visit:
At Velvet
MONDAY 08.27.12

ROSCO
 [STERLING ROSWELL, SPACEMEN 3, THE DARKSIDE],
BAD LIQUOR POND,
KID'S GARDEN


DOORS 7:30PM/SHOW 9PM/18+:$10 / 21+ $8

I really, really want to attend so badly but things just aren't working out for me. I'm just too far away to get into town anymore.

Does anyone know if this is a Snail show? Several years ago, Rosco had contacted me and asked if I could help set him up with some US shows. I hooked him up with Snail who wanted to book him but the guarantee was just too high.

Got to know Rosco, who was a fan of my radio work; both my current station, Air Atlantic Underground Radio, and my show years ago, The Trans-Atlantic Underground, on a station out of Lima, Peru.

Should be a very nice night of cool Psychedelia. Rosco's music is now very much inspired by '60s Psychedelic music and is pretty good. So is Bad Liquor Pond whose live show I quite like. Don't know anything about Kid's Garden.

Someone please go and fill me in on how it went. Missing this one is really hurting on so many different levels.

I have only seen their first DC show in 1985. I am guessing it will be quite different than back then.  I find that nostalgia shows most often are beyond awful..  And I said I wasn't going to do anymore after seeing Sisters of Mercy a couple of years ago.  Hopefully this one will be at least half way decent.   They have quite a catalog of songs to choose from that i Have not heard yet.  It would be cool if they could have a true reunion with Douglas Hart and Bobby Gillepsie.

I agree that most nostalgia shows are disappointing. Perfect cases in point were Swervedriver and Urge Overkill earlier this year. That said, Scratch Acid was GREAT and gave me hope. Also bummed that the show sold out. That's great for the band but I avoid sold-out shows at 9:30 like the plague. Any/every other club in the city, it's not that big of a hassle. At the 9:30, ugh.

My track record of reunion shows has been pretty good. The only one that immediately comes to mind as being offensively bad is Bad Brains and that was just because of HR.

Sunn 0))) last night were good but we really did not need 90 minutes of that. They should have wrapped it up with the Attila section. Pretty sure all of us in the room had gotten the point by about then. His presence was a nice surprise.
The feeling as they ended was like nothing I had experienced prior. Felt as though I was floating for a good minute after.
I still say My Bloody Valentine wins as far as intense live experiences go, however.

I don't have a problem with reunion shows, I just haven't seen a lot of good ones. Urge Overkill were a good example of a big disappointment. With albums of can't-miss hits like Saturation and Supersonic Storybook, they opened with two mid-tempo songs that the crowd (and I) weren't familiar with before breaking out Positively Bleednig, which made the crowd go nuts. Then it was another group of new, mid-tempo songs and the energy in the room just died.

First time I saw X's reunion shows (with the Fags opening), they were so good. High energy, sounded great, excellent show. But then a year later (with Rollins Band opening, who were great), they were terrible, with Exene phoning it in so hard it was pathetic.

But then Scratch Acid came and obliterated my expectations. Goddamn that was a good show.

I was going to post similar wrt the live experience. I remember reading on here a few years ago about how seeing MVB was so great b/c of the "brain massage", volume, intensity. I'm not a a fan of MVB, I actually think the blow, but always assumed seeing Sunn O))) would be a similar  sonic experience and it was...and it was awesome.

What time did it end? At 11 I grabbed that limited edition vinyl and headed home.

Sunn 0))) last night were good but we really did not need 90 minutes of that. They should have wrapped it up with the Attila section. Pretty sure all of us in the room had gotten the point by about then. His presence was a nice surprise.

Right before the end of the show, something unexplainable happened to my IPhone. I had gotten a call that I obviously could not answer but I think the vibration caused the phone to unlock directly after voicemail picked up the call and a call was placed to a set of random numbers. 6855


In order for this to have happened, the keypad would have to have been activated, numbers dialed and "call" button tapped. Could the vibrations have done all that?

Unlikely but who knows. I'd say if you were standing close to the front it's possible your phone vibrated against something in your pocket (keys, wallet) which could have unlocked it, more likely with the incoming call activating the screen. It was pretty heavy up there.

Could the vibrations have done all that?

Hey now, no shitting on While Heaven Wept! haha
If nothing else then just for the fact that they were responsible for the tour even happening, otherwise you would've had to go to Atlanta to see Primordial as they were originally slated to only play the Prog Power Festival.
Regarding the lineup change, Primordial was the headliner for the entire tour, at one point the plan was for WHW to headline since this was their first and only hometown show in 23 years but later on decided to go with the same lineup sequence as the rest of the tour.  While Heaven Wept were amazing but Primordial definitely took it to the next level, the 50-100 or so people who stuck around caught one of the best metal acts out there today.

Awesome. But maybe my experience was different than Steve's since i was up front. 

(They performed short sets because they do not have many songs)

It was definitely not boring.

Wet Nurse show was awesome. Priests were as well but my bias toward them is probably obvious by now.
Lame turnout.
That Wet Nurse album is a fun listen. Stream it. (http://wet-nurse.bandcamp.com)
And Mount Eerie was breathtaking.

Florence and the Machine had the biggest crowd I have ever seen at Merriweather in the 30 years I have been seeing shows there.  Food lines were ridiculous.  And I like how the police would only let people go onto 29 south when exiting.  Pure laziness on their part. 

Florence was pretty awesome though.  Didn't care for weeknd.

Make-up were fun.

Ian is always a great showman and the band sounded tight. Good energetic crowd too.

Thanks for the tickets, K8teebug! I was able to get some use out of one of them while the other languished in Joe's pocket as he flaked on me in favor of boring ass Grizzly Bear.

I like Kate Bush as well.  Interestingly enough it was mostly women at the show.  I would say well over 80 percent.  Would have been an excellant choice of a show to go if  you were a single man.

Still on pace for the six shows. Switched out Comet for Dementia and Hope Trails in some basement in Frederick. First Frederick show for me ever I think?
Dementia and Hope Trails does the Post-rock thing solo better than 95% of the full post-rock bands everyone gushes about.
Incredible set, as always.

Post by: azaghal1981 on September 22, 2012, 07:47:36 am
It was over three years ago when I last saw them.
So maybe they are better?
But a Make-Up show is a raucous party.
So compared to them, most indie rock bands will come off snoozy.

They were a snoozefest back in 2009. People who saw them Thursday enjoyed it.


And go with Corin Tucker.

my thinking:

i don't know.. I've seen Corin Tucker at least five times with Sleater going back to their early shows at the Black Cat (97 or so)....

Never seen the Wallflowers... I loved the first two Wallflowers records but hated the third and stopped listening..so that was a very long time ago.. what do the Wallflowers have going for them.. well Jakob DYLAN..yeah, the son of my favorite musician..his voice kind of sounds a little like Bob's..... also Jack Irons, I think, on drums... no slouch.. .I could get him to sign my Vitalogy LP..its something..


On the other hand I've heard good things about corin tucker's new album.. her show costs less.. and I've missed her since I last saw Sleater

it will probably be a game time decision IF i decide to go based on whether tickets are still available..

I realize the Wallflowers are about as hip as macaroni and cheese but I don't care.

Well, I like both Grimes and EG, I didn't pay for their albums, and both sets will be short so can't really lose. Plus, I did see a random Youtube of a Grimes show and it looked like a really fun freak show.

Don't know if you are aware of this but David J's latest record is on Custom Made Music. That's the independent label out of Virginia Beach that puts out a few local bands like Ceremony (the Shoegazers), Screen Vinyl Image, The Sky Drops and Last Remaining Pinnacle as well as other Gazey bands such as Ringo Deathstarr, Black Nite Crash, The Tambourines and Pete International Airport. Very, very cool label!

Have you seen Crocodiles live yet?  I saw them as openers in 2009 and they were really boring.  Maybe they are better now, but at that gig they looked uninterested and didnt really seem to put anything into the performance (other than wearing cool sunglasses and swaying a bit).  I dig their recorded output and would be willing to give them another chance, but that show left a lot to be desired.

I'm starting to wonder if the afghan whigs are going to be playing to an empty room.  There are hundreds up for grabs on craigslist for less than face value.  It'll be a great show anyways

show is sold out..


oh yeah i know... just sayin' it ain't going to be empty!

Post by: bearman🐻 on October 01, 2012, 10:06:22 am
Really interesting. Thank you for that. I'm a huge Kozelek fan, but I'm an old-timer. I caught the RHP's at the Birchmere in 1993, and I know y'all are probably tired of hearing this, but it was one of those performances I'll never, ever forget. The tension in that band was electric. And though I love his solo acoustic stuff, what stands out in my mind is how penetrating his vocals were at that time. He's far more understated now, it's almost a smoky drawl. Back then, his voice was like a bullet. It went right through you, gave you chills, and it haunted you like few other voices could. And Gorden Mack was a guitar god. When just Mark and Gorden came out to start off the show, Gorden sat in a chair and they started "Japanese to English". Mark gave Gorden a verbal smackdown at one point and hissed "play it SLOWER" and Gorden just sat there, obediently letting Mark do his thing. I just sort of knew I'd never get to see them on that level again. It's a shame there are no live recordings or video from that era. If there are, I've never come across them. Anthony Koutsos sold me a t-shirt for 10 bucks because that's all I had on me. I told him it was one of the greatest things I'd ever seen and he just winced. It was true though.

i was there, too, and think this review is very accurate.  it was my first time catching kozelek, and i'm not sure what i expected, but i walked out feeling rather anxious/uncomfortable.  the music was lovely, but he came across as a creepy asshole.  i read that review, which put the show in a slightly different perspective, and now i can't wait to see him again. so weird.

this week, i've got animal collective, free fest, and frightened rabbit.

Hand Grenade Job were phenomenal as always. Doubt anybody else could make The Misfits' "Bullet" sound beautiful. Mary Christ were pretty good too. Made it to Sova in time for Screen Vinyl who played a reliably solid set.

How about $13? That's what tickets were for his Black Cat show hot on the heels of the release of his best album.

But seriously...I understand that he took a loss financially with that tour. And I understand he had grown some in popularity since then, albeit not exponentiallly. I think something in the $20-$25 range would be the right price for that show.

I don't see anything wrong with Jens charging 30 bucks for the show.  Silversun Pickups is charging 32 the same night and he is much better than them.  I just realized this show is super early.  I don't get off of work until 5:30 and am north of Baltimore.  I hope I don' tmiss part of Jens set.

I'd also much rather see Jens than SSPU but they are way more popular, hence the higher ticket price. You could never pay me to see One Direction or Gotye yet they both charge absurd prices because there are people out there willing to pay them.
I just don't think much of Jens' fanbase will be able to justify such a high price tag.

I'd say $20 is perfect for US $25 to make some dough. $30 is applicable in Europe. You know, he's one of those that is salivated after and over there. Here, while respected, just not well enough know with the kids and $30-35 isn't doable esp. when comparing w/ SSPU the same night with similar cost. Anyhow, I hope the emptier the better too, esp. so I can park...
I might hold out for SSPU but until I know the set times I can't guess if I'll stick around until their set. If  I don't go to SSPU I'll have an extra for for sale right after Jens.
(Haven't figured out the
I'm guessing Jens will be 8:15. I might actually head down early to avoid rush hour. It's just not worth sitting in traffic for an early show, which I usually don't (can't?) attend b/c of work & rush hour (esp. on a Friday).

lily how was BellX1? (and yes, this: why does everyone and their mother need to tour sept/oct/early november? i can't be at 5 venues at once!)

very nice. just one of those shows where the crowd was into it, but respectful, and everyone there enjoyed itself. a nice chill acoustic show. played for about 80-85 minutes.

very different vibe and energy level than when i saw them a year or two ago at ram's head. they treated that show like it was an arena show and rocked the hell out of the place. it was great.

but this was just as good. just a 180 entirely. nice contrast.

they are doing a whole series of dates in ireland starting later this month thru december. i'm going to be working in london next month and seriously tempted to see if i can finagle a trip over to the green isle for one of their shows.

thanks for the nice review, lily. you should try and go over sometime. if you can time it right there are often deals but also, aer lingus flies from new york direct. they used to from IAD but now it flies up to NY. At least they did the last time I checked. Old planes, but only 6 hours it's like flying to LA. Hell, I'll go back any time just tell me when.

Separately I'm hoping a show at JJ is slightly unnoticed or too far for people to come out (selfishly so it's not crowded and respectful, but also not sold out if I decide to go), Margot &TNS&S's. Would be nice to see them in a small venue.

how was Jens?  this was the first DC show of his that I missed, very bummed.
I thought he rocked out a bit more when I saw him with a different band in Ireland. I don't even remember him playing guitar at that show either. Although I like his style, and he is endearing musically as are his stories, the stories or his lyrics that are personalized became a bit corny to me after a bit. I prefer my s/s to get a little gritty or rock. The band is talented, musically not my preference for the long haul. Maybe it's his new songs? That said, he is talented, both he and the band played impeccably. Sound crystal clear and amazing - thanks Jens/930! Overall, I don't listen to him all the time now, and don't think that will change. I'd go see him again, but basing on personal preference, most likely wouldn't strive to attend; nor would I pay arm/leg or drive in stop/go traffic for two hours to see him [as I did last week].

ah, hell, how did i totally miss this show announcement? and i was just there! and of course, it's the same night as st etienne. and i'm already ticketed for that one.

feckin a!
f!a! here too. work event might keep me from it as well.

oh they are? haha.
when i saw him previously it was a big rock love fest no stories. did i say i miss ireland and their crowds? :) not sure why, kinda surprised you guys like him esp. if he's usually that way. he and his music are cool, but I'm usually going solo for the quirky s/s.  (glad you went tho!)

I mean the guy does write fantastic pop tunes and he plays them awesomely when has a band with him. His solo set at Sixth and I did leave me wondering if I would ever see him again, however. Glad I decided to do so.

Thanks. I never had a complaint about the Black Cat itself. It was specifically about the Red Room, and the non-show attending hipster crowd. Kind of like the d-bags that go to the upstairs part of RNR Hotel, or the Clarendon yuppies who pay to get into Iota for a place to hang out and talk, rather than seeing the band.

 Plenty of places nearby now to get a good beer if i so choose, so that's no longer a factor.

I think it depends on the venue.  IOTA definitely looks/feels like an "after work hangout bar", where the 9:30, Black Cat, etc., really feel more like music venues-- and so the crowd tends to act accordingly. Sure, we've all been to plenty of shows at the Cat or 9:30 where people in the audience were talking, but they tend to segregate more, so the talkers end up in the back, vs. IOTA where it can be almost impossible to hear the band unless you're right up under the stage.  (Exception: Bowerbirds at the Black Cat earlier this year, where the yakking was so bad I almost left early.)

But no, IOTA is certainly not the only venue with this problem, nor is Clarendon the only neighborhood where people wander in to a bar after work on a Friday and talk loudly over the band.

people can talk a lot at the 930 by the side of the stage right bar (the one with the food)...that has always been the case so lets not let the 930 crowd off the hook..this goes way back.. I remember a Yo La Tengo show in the late 90s where the glass clinking and talking during their set was real disturbing..

i had a lot of fun at st. etienne.  show was not low volume, at least not if you were out in front of the PA.  if you were up against the stage at USMH, the PA was directly above you - so it didn't hit you directly.  from where i was standing, 15 feet back, it was plenty loud.  and the bass was WAY TOO HIGH for the genre of music they were playing.  this isn't dubstep or moombathon.

Loved the Meter Men last night... Zigaboo and Porter are probably my favorite rhythm section.. that shit is tight... definitely a bucket list show.. for those that don't know Art Neville was not with them on keys and instead Page McConnel of Phish played with them on the four night tour

Most of the people there came to see Page I think but he knew he was the luckiest guy there and he talked about it..

Got there about 8:18 and they were on... advertised as 8 pm show... i think they'd just started.... the first sent went on til somewhere around 9:30.. then they took a long break.. kind of like a Phish show i guess. and came back on probably past 10 and played til close to midnight.. it was a long show..there was the GO VOTE, the  tribute to the Howard and how glad they were to be playing it as they never had before and all the history yada yada, a Romney diss, etc..

Highlights were two or three Meters instrumentals ffrom the first album (Cissy Strut? I never can keep them straight) which they jammed out to 12 or more minute versions... ended first set with Africa which went on forever and ever... it was "that shit is sick" version... second set was less my bag but a very nice Hey Pocky Way and they ended the second set with a great It Ain't no use which also went on for about 15 minutes introduced by Leo Nocentelli soloing for about 2-3 minutes.... they then took a real short break..shook hands with crowd, George Porter thanked the crowd.. and they played one more tune which Im' forgetting title (from Rejuvenation which is my favortie album and I think they played five tracks from that)...


.had to drive home and boy were there a lot of drunk kids driving around Golden Triangle on Rhode Island/Conn Ave... sad.

one for the record books and i'm glad i made it out.. oh one thing about Howard.. on the $$35 ticket i bought at door they tacked on $7.50 in charges... talk about bullshit.. why say ts $35 if you can't ever buy it for less... beer prices at howard are almost standard bar prices so thats nice.

Hah


Priests are on a break since Katie is touring with Chain and the Gang whose current lineup is all kinds of fantastic.


But yeah. Trying hard to not miss an HGJ show if I can help it.

Plus, I've never seen Grass Widow and very much want to.

Is that the Leather that's only released a handful of singles and eps? Because I just love them.
Title: Re: This week rollcall

Yes. They are awesome.
I saw them once at DNA Test Fest in 2010 and their set is still fresh in my memory.

Leather were pretty awesome live when I saw them with Drunkdriver. The singer ended up flat on the floor writhing around in spit and spilled PBR. Surely made an impression on me.

I'll be at Roky Erickson at the Ottobar on Sunday. I've been a fan forever and have never seen him. Hoping to be surprised but not getting my hopes up too high. I'm also excited The Flying Eyes are opening for him.

He was excellent when I saw him at the Black Cat in 2010-- played almost all old stuff (only a couple of songs from his album with Okkervil River).  I reviewed the show for the Wash Post Express; if you want to read that, it's here (http://www.expressnightout.com/2010/11/roky-erickson-live-review-black-cat-nov-5-2010/).

Gary Clark / Gary Clark Jr reminds me of the time in 2002-ish when the David Cross show at the Black Cat sold out way in advance, and I couldn't figure out why everyone was going nuts over the violinist from King Crimson.

Seriously, dream pop fans on this board have slept on Cigarette too long.

Some of the places in Baltimore sell beer. I think mostly Nattie Boh.  But you can bring in your own beer.  The only problem I ever have with these places is the bathroom situation. As they only have one bathroom things can back-up.  Usually a few bucks to get in and you can bring your own alcohol so what is not too like?  I guess most of them also allow smoking.  That could be a negative.

You can bring your own alcohol.  So if there is no good alcohol it is your own fault.

No, Ive been using the internet long enough to understand how it works.  But i will ask questions to someone who makes statements against things I like, and doesnt give good reason.

Music is subjective. I would guess that a lot of people would find your musical tastes questionable.

People like to throw out the hipster label.  Just liking non-mainstream music doesnt make a person a hipster. Nor does going to shows at DIY venues.

Arty = creative and smart usually.

Not everyone drinks.  Not everyone likes to have to be around a bunch of drunk people while they watch bands.  If you absolutely need to be drunk to watch your favorite bands, they might suck.  You might also have a problem.

People on this board do not like popular bands and they don't like bands that play DIY venues.  It appears the only thing they like is classic rock. or bands that mimic classic rock (MMJ).   Come on guys get with the program..   And how do not know about DIY venues if you spend all your time on a music forum?  . I have been going to them since the early 80's. 

Anyway my wife is an MICA alumni and she doesn't care too much for most of the DIY venues.    I do find it interesting that they don't have security at such venues but I have never seen a fight at one since the skinheads stop attending around 1985.

Its all good i was just trolling with the alcohol comments.  I dont drink and dont care if anybody else does (i did it myself for many moons and have a very personal reason of why i no longer consume any).  I do understand why people do it and especially in a live music environment. 

Why does yelling at me make you mad?

Very cool space. It is as if a piece of Baltimore found its way down to DC. Killsaly, you would love it. Apparently it has been active for years. Cigarette were excellent but this Puerto Rican band they played with, Fantasmes, were incredible. Minimal Wooden Shjipsesque psych done really well. Actually had the crowd getting down really hard which near impossible in DC.

I saw Roky at Ottobar the night before. Good setlist of classic songs. His band was indeed really good. I'd say the tone of Roky's guitar was amazing but he only plays the opening bars to songs then the 2 other guys take over. And yeah, his voice is very gruff n' bluesy. It was nice to see him smiling and having a good time however.

I saw it.  I thought the band was just ok.  Rhythm section seemed to disappear at times.  The dude with the hat singing in the back was Rocky's son.

Not like a virtuoso performance or anything, but good setlist.  More darshan than entertainment.

Rocky did seem much more self assured and comfortable than when I saw him with Okkervil River.

ash was great! such a tight and energetic set, and an appreciative crowd. good to see bags and kosmo (who i don't think i've seen in years!)

not totally lovin' dc9 though-staff were fine and actually really really friendly, but that space is borderline claustrophobic with that low ceiling and odd sightlines. the videoscreens are a distraction too. am i the only one that thought the floor might  go crashing down onto the first floor when the crowd was jumping up and down? dc9 reminds me of the old black cat and old 930 combined-and not in a good way. prefer rock and roll hotel (which i know many of you dislike, but i've had no issues there)

The Meyerhoff is a great venue.  They should do more shows there.  I did see Aziz Ansari there which was cool but it would be a great venue for bands like Sigur Ros.  Much better than the Patriot center.

Ash was superb last night, not as transcendental as the return of James, but still epic.  In their 75 minute set they hit pretty much most of the high points from their 20 year career.   Key tracks from 1977 and Free All Angels, plus probably some of the more memorable tracks from the A to Z series.   

It would be great to see them next year with a second guitarist as some of the newer stuff needs it to properly fill out the sound.

Magnetic Fields played roughly the same set as the show at the club earlier in 2012 but I enjoyed this show more. Mostly because I had a seat.
Some variation but not much. Too much 69 love songs; not as much creativity in the set selection as I would have liked. Still, great fun show.

The last time I saw him at Verizon I was surprised that it seemed to be close to sold out.  That was over 10 years ago though - and I don't recall the decent seats costing $150 (after fees.)

I didn't go to the club show earlier this year (actually, I haven't seen them since the 2002 two-day 69LS show in NYC), so I actually liked this set-- but was surprised at how much 69LS they played (not terribly surprised, though, about which ones they chose).  Were you at the Saturday show or the Sunday one?  I was at Sunday's.  The banter between Claudia and Stephen remains one of the most charming parts of a TMF performance.

It is funny how the most expensive tickets are for bands that are way past the point of me wanting to see them.  Like 40+ years past their prime.  Well except of course Lada Gaga.   It is like the worse a band becomes the higher their ticket prices. 

Also I can't imagine seeing a band at verizon center.  I saw a couple of shows back at the capital center in the 70's and they were in no way enjoyable.  Too big.

Not I.. He is probably last on my performers I would want to see.  Actually in 2009 I was in Atlanta for a week and the one night I had a choice between seeing Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, John Cougar or Snoop Dogg, Slightly Stupid, Stephen Marley and Mickey Avalon and guess I went to see?

Actually I just went for Stephen Marley and Mickey Avalon but I think I made the right choice.

I'm going to the Dylan show... I think I may have my best seat in 20 plus shows of seeing him in 16 years.... even better, perhaps, than the two times I saw him at the 930...


Verizon Center is absolutely to be avoided...only going cause its Bob and my seat....

I saw Bob about three months ago in Salisbury, MD and thought he was great.. I enjoyed his plonking on the piano and I thought he sounded great....


But it ain't for everyone and you pretty much know if its for you or not by listening to the new album...

actually this will be my 19th bob dylan show...although its possible i'm blanking out on one or two..no other act have i seen this many times.. not even close..of course between 1996-1999 I was a Dylan maniac so I racked up a lot of shows during that period (which happened to be a really good period with Larry Campbell in the band and he was sort of jam band bob..playing Dead songs and jammin' a lot on guitar)

south bend 1996
akron 1996 (Kenny Wayne Shepherd opened)
waltham 1997
wolftrap*2 (Ani Difranco opened) 1997
930*2 1997
Madison Square Garden theatre (Van opened) 1998
georgia (Joni opened) 1998
chicago (joni Opened) 1998
nissan (Paul Simon closed) 1999
newark, delaware (Susan Tedeschi opened) 1999
baltimore, md (Phil Lesh and Friends opened) 1999
patriot center 2002
merriweather (Elvis Costello opened) 2007
electric factory 2008
charlottesville 2010
salisbury, md 2012


by the way the last time the ticket prices at verizon were: $35.00, $49.50
It was the Love and Theft tour... that album did really well.. there was no opener as far as I can tell...

this time ticket prices are:  $129.50, $89.50, $65.00, $50.00
Of course Mark Knopfler is opening which is meant to be a draw...but talk about concert price inflation..but we'v'e all seen it...its not limited to Dylan..

I am being serious, I like Van Morrison.  The rest are crap.  Anyway that makes me think about how I have seen Depeche Mode a bunch of times and they always have good openers.   Book Of Love, OMD, Primal Scream, Peter, Bjorn and John, Nitzer Ebb, Poe

^It's great for classical performances and such. Rock concerts, not as much.


A few things:
Am I wrong to be skeptical of bands that play the Black Cat and a few months later, sell out a theater like Tower or Warner, and assume they sold their souls to Satan?

I was not at the Ween DAR show but saw that Sonar show a few months prior and felt sad for everybody involved for most of the show. "Mushroom Festival in Hell" was a high note of an ending, though. I also saw the two Black Cat Gene shows and left those underwhelmed. I would assume that this Hamilton thing will all be covers and think $33 for that is absurd.

Really tempted to run up to NYC for James Chance and Household for free that night.

Why would you be skeptical of a band because they become popular.  I saw Arcade Fire at the tower and now they get paid a million dollars to headline festivals. 

as for DAR I saw Siouxsie front row center there and it was one of the best shows of my life.  Seen her other places as well but all of them fell way short of the DAR show.  I really don't know why anyone be negative to it other than the long lines for drinks/bathroom.

I don't get the whole "its only covers" rationale...  songs are songs... Billie Holiday didn't write her own material save for about 10-15 blues standards which were pretty much her putting her "woe is me" lyrics over the standard music.. doesn't mean her other hundreds of songs- yes what you derisively refer to as "covers"- aren't the greatest....

I meant specifically the covers that he just released.
My fault for not being specific.
I'd hope he doesn't stick to that album and yes, I'd love to hear some Ween material, even if it is obscure tracks.
But I doubt I will go so the point is moot. Maybe if a setlist appeared between now and then, it would change my mind but no way am I going in there with no idea as to what to expect at such a high price tag.

well somewhere I saw it advertised that he'd also do Ween songs...I'm not telling anyone to go... I probably won't go and everyone needs to make their own decisions..

so you don't like the McKuen covers record? I know many don't but I dig it...if you think about it it really is most akin to the Ween record 12 golden country greats.. produced by same guy too (Ben Vaughn) which also got a very negative visceral reaction when it came out....time sort of rehabilitated it in people's eyes.. (i loved it on day 1 of course  ;D)

Honestly if he performed Blarney Stone again I'd blow my head off I think (and I love that song!)

Not necessarily. Depends on who is doing the sound. I've seen both very good and very piss poor sounding shows there. If the soundman doesn't have the skills to adjust for the room, it's going to sound like the band is performing inside of a tin can. The settings one uses for the Black Cat, 9:30, or another general rock venue are not going to be the same for DAR. Different dynamics. Fortunately for me, most of the shows I've seen have sounded good. I've even been where the opener sounded horrendous due to sound settings while the headliners sounded great. Don't know if they used different people or if the openers got stuck with settings geared for the headliners. Really goes to show that there is more going on than just what you see onstage.

I feel as though the general rule of thumb is if Gus is running sound, it sounds great. If it's a band guy, something more than likely will be off.

well i am sure there is a choice of bands playing two shows at 930 club or one at DAR.  You go see bands at baseball stadiums and hockey arenas and you are boycotting DAR becuase of the sound?  You are just making yourself look stupid.

jesus and mary chain sound was awful.  And even Jen Lekman it go too loud at points.  For Jens F'n Lekman no less.

As for DAR it is a much better choice than Patriot Center which is too far for Baltimore people.  And is certainly not as nice of a venue. 

I like DAR and have never had any shows where the sound was off.

When we saw Heart there a couple weeks ago we were allowed to take drinks inside.  According to the usher, it's really up to the artist.  She said there's an extra "clean-up" fee charged to the bands if they want to allow drinks in the hall.  Most don't want to pay it.  That's the first I've heard of that, but that's what we were told.

I think that makes a big difference... but I wouldn't say the sound at a venue was good because it was good for the 10% with the best seats... I mean 20th row center is, generally, about the best spot for sound.

It is amazing to me how we have this debate about DAR every year or so and there are people out there who think the sound is good. The sound blows! It is not a music venue or built to be one.  Is the sound good , sometimes, if you're standing in a certain area? Probably but even a stopped clock is right twice a day!  But to each their own..  Of my friends many ignore the place like they do Jiffy Lube..  But until people stop going there Seth is going to keep renting the place.. no incentive for him to build a state of the art mid-capacity venue (3000-4000 capacity which is what the city's music lovers could really use) when he can just book DAR on the cheap and have shows there..

I am sure DAR is not cheap to rent.  And I am sure Seth would prefer to have two shows at 930 club over one at DAR for a cost issue.  

I much prefer DAR to 930 club.  You can definitely see better and you have a seat so you don't have people trying to push by you all the time.  Biggest complaint to me about DAR is the ridiculous lines for alcohol.  And as 930 club charges so much for beer and I will lose my spot if I get said Beer I usually don't drink much there anyway.

Anyway IMP used to use Warner all the time which to me was pretty much the perfect venue.  I don't know why originally stopped using it.  Some say Live Nation but I believe they stopped using it before then.  I love 6th and I place.  They should use it more.  Along with Lincoln Theater.

Yeah I am sure the youtube videos recorded on someone's phone are crystal clear.   What a joke.  And the sound was awful.  I was there.  In all by years of concert going that was the worst sound quality I have experienced.  I am not going to argue because it is stupid.  And the whole that is what Jesus And Mary Chain sounds like is BS as well because I was there when they first played in DC back in 1985.  So I know what the Pscyho Candy songs are supposed to sound like live.  

And I need to see a doctor because every other show I go to I have no problem hearing the vocals but at this show after the 5th song I could not?  What a load of crock.  You could take any has-been artist and you would say they are great.

6th & I does not appear to be hosting any more IMP shows-- all of their upcoming shows (http://www.sixthandi.org/EventDetails.aspx?evcatID=1&evSubCatID=66) are LiveNation, WPAS, or Traffic Circle Productions.

As far as the Warner my guess is they stopped using it for a combination of factors... first of all it was bought by Live Nation..second of all its a union shop so it has higher costs (per ticket sold for sure.. maybe in real terms also)  for putting on a show than DAR, etc.

As far as the costs of renting DAR.. I bet its cheap... there must be a reason both Live Nation and the 930 use the place... I've seen Live Nation put many shows there when it owns the Warner but few blocks away... of course DAR has much higher capacity but still the costs have to be low enough for it to make sense to rent...

I thought the Men Without Hats was fine... nothing to write home about (I was being a bit facetious!).. but I'd be shocked if they ever play anywhere near me again and as a kid I loved the Pop Goes the World tape...I got on the guest list and enjoyed myself.... got him to sign my record afterwards... it was hard adjusting to the fact that he looks like George Carlin and was wearing a Led Zeppelin shirt. They did about 10-11 songs I think.... Ivan sang.. two young women on each side "playing" keyboards (I think they were playing mostly) and a guy playing guitar right behind Ivan... It was a bit like watching Ivan doing karaoke actually... He did Pop Goes the World, Safety Dance and SOS (the ABBA song) as an "encore"...

i get your point, but the options are:
1) getting yourself all the way downtown from your neck of the woods (hint: it's way, way out there) to buy an advance ticket and save on convenience fees, *OR*
2) getting yourself all the way downtown from your neck of the woods the night of the show and hope you can see the show.

the problem is if people pay the 8.75 then next year it could be 10.50 and the year after the charges could be more than the face value of the ticket!

at some point people have to say enough or the charges will never be enough...

Exactly. I am honestly surprised that the market is bearing this much.

I understand why a convenience fee is there and when it is reasonable (see: Black Cat, Blowtel, non-930 pres USMH shows), I am happy to pay it because it does, in fact make my life easier. But $8.75 for a $15 ticket is way passed the threshold of what I am personally willing to pay for such a convenience.

If one of those shows was on 1/2/09 with Death By Sexy at the Black Cat Mainstage, then I was there too.  There were only about 10 of us there-- smallest Jucifer audience I've ever seen.

Yeah, I want to go to that one too, but I'll probably go to the Fortress show at the Lab instead.  But I love the Wind-Up space, and if you're hungry beforehand, check out Joe Squared (pizza) across the street.

Yes indeed! I forgot about Death By Sexy. They were pretty good I think. The other time I saw them was at the Talking Head Club at Sonar in January 2009. Abiku, Darsombra and Hero Destroyed all opened for Jucifer to a crowd of about 25 people. Darsombra's set was very trippy and had some weird effect of me.

I thought Ex-Cult were terrible. So monotonous and one-note, and the singer's no-tune bark just did nothing for me.

Roomrunner was like a shoegazey Nirvana. Not bad, kind of the epitome of an 'opening act set'.

The Pinch has potential, but the sound was not great-- you could barely tell there was a band playing from halfway back in the room, often a problem with rooms so long and narrow (and it was OVER-packed).  Really need to set up some speakers closer to the back of the room.  Also, Shark Week took an unnecessarily long time to set up / start playing-- it's fine if you're not going to start playing until after 11 PM, but then don't list 9 PM on your show flyer.  That said, saw a ton of local bloggers out at the show (folks from HometownSoundsDC and DCMusicDownload were both there, plus obviously DCHeavyMetal's MetalChris), so that was cool.  Way too crowded with hipsters (including some overly-coiffed girl in a cocktail dress-- where did she come from?!).  But, I mean, it's a free show, so I can't complain too much.

Tue - Testament, Overkill @ Fillmore

The PA being used during the early show was pretty spotty. With that said, both shows I saw there started and ended fairly early. I definitely can see being in the back a problem; that is a pretty long way for sound to have to travel. Cigarette (a fairly quiet band) played the first show I saw there and they could barely be heard up front because of a chatty crowd; Cannot imagine what it was like back there. I think the Warchild/Shark Week show was listed in BYT's top picks which would explain the hipster douche quotient.

Well, I'm last man standing in my house...spent the entire week taking care of three sick people in various stages of illness, so I'm wiped.

Still bucked up and went, though.  Glad I did...maybe the best YLT show I've seen.  Killer jams.

Did you see the show a few years back when they played it with the Sun Ra Arkestra? That was awesome.

That Shadow Morton tribute section was nice too.

Looks like it was the second part of the Summer Sun tour; think the first show was with Portastatic.

http://www.jambase.com/shows/event.aspx?EventID=145844

Christ, it was almost ten years ago.  Nothing quite so sobering as realizing how old I'm getting.

One of my favorite moments last night was a lady standing near me: she complained that the first set was too slow and quite, since she likes the louder songs.  They told her friend, during one of the guitar solos, that it was too noisy and that's how you get bottles thrown at your head.  Can't win 'em all, I guess.

I thought the pacing of the show was perfect. Beautiful mellow set and a killer rock show second. She sounds like an annoying asshole who likes bitching for the sake of bitching.

Oh and the pre-show PA music was great. First times hearing both Toy Love and The Verlaines on the club PA.

I was at the KenCen Millennium Stage show last night too.

I'll be laying pretty low this week because of the upcoming weekend -

Wed 2/27 - maybe the local band showcase at Jammin' Java
Thu 2/28 - maybe the 9 Songwriters @ 6th & I
Fri, Sat, Sun - SingStrong A Cappella Festival in Reston, VA
Sun 3/3 - Samothrace, Pilgrim, Iron Man, and The Pilgrim @ Sidebar [yes, both "Pilgrim" and "The Pilgrim" are playing]

A bunch of great shows next week too-- still trying to decide between Nile and Peter Bradley Adams on Wed 3/6.

Agreed - I had higher expectations for Soley, but she was just OK.  I've seen the live-looping thing way too many times to be impressed when it's only so-so (the gimmick isn't enough to sustain my interest in and of itself).  Agreed on your assessments of Retro Stefson and FM Belfast as well.

Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: stevewizzle on February 28, 2013, 02:45:44 pm
gah - almost admitted to going to RNR without having to shit all over it.

no, it still sucks.

over capacity.
enormous security guards were busy making their way through an overpacked crowd all night for no apparent reason.
the sound was better than it has been.

it's not the worst place in the world, but between the inconvenience of getting there, essentially no bathroom, rude staff, bad sight lines, and how crowded it is, it leaves a lot left to be desired for every show.

that said... ii'll probably be at metz and one of the boris nights. and then i'll consider being less of a hypocrite and swearing the place off.

re: boycotting venues--

I hear what you're saying about why the venue sucks, but the fact of the matter is: if you want to see a certain band on a certain tour, you don't really have a choice.  Either you go to that venue, or you don't see the band.  Sometimes you're lucky and you have the choice of DC or Baltimore, but usually you get one shot at the band on any given tour.  Boycotting the venue is not going to make the venue change, it's going to mean that you don't see the band.  And yes, I hear the argument of "I'd rather not see the band than see them under less-than-ideal conditions", but I dunno, I go to ~120 concerts per year, and a ton of those are at venues I'm not particularly fond of, but seeing certain bands is that important to me that I just deal with it.  (And let's be real: MOST venues are unpleasantly overcrowded when the show is "sold out".)
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: stevewizzle on February 28, 2013, 05:00:54 pm
i'm not trying to take the position of an activist here.  i just buy tickets to the place and always leave underwhelmed (in comparison to other venues), usually at no fault to the artist.  i'm happy to see anyone live, regardless of the venue. but i was asked if it still sucks, and yes, it still sucks.

but in general, i disagree with you. if you want to make a change, or advocate for change, the first step is to remove yourself from the system, i.e., don't buy any more tickets.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: sweetcell on February 28, 2013, 05:23:47 pm
if you want to see a certain band on a certain tour, you don't really have a choice.  Either you go to that venue, or you don't see the band. 

that is exactly the choice you have to make: which is more important to you, seeing the band or sending a message to the venue.  boycotts must take a long-term view to be effective, it's death by a thousand pin-pricks.  seeing the band tonight is instant gratification.  you can't have the former and the latter.

Boycotting the venue is not going to make the venue change

shitty venue operators are counting on exactly that attitude: i can continue to provide shit because people keep on coming.  you're reinforcing their ability to serve shit.

it's going to mean that you don't see the band.  

it's gotta come at a cost.  perhaps for you it's not worth it, seeing the band is more important than sending a message, but that only means that boycotts are ineffective as long as you are part of them... because in reality you refuse to actually boycott.  that's fine, it's your choice, but don't say they don't work.  
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: showlistdc on February 28, 2013, 05:31:02 pm
In the case of a show that's going to sell out, if you don't buy that ticket, someone else will.  That's the point I was trying to make.  A boycott by one person (or a small handful of people) won't work.  If people want to get a venue to change, there has to be a much larger effort to get people to stop patronizing the venue, beyond just the few people on this board who express displeasure at the way a certain venue is run.

Place is a shithole run by some of the scummiest people in DC. DC9 is tolerable as a venue but run by the same scumbags. If not going to either place means missing a band I like now and again (it's not like there is a shortage of shows on my calendar), so be it.
I also try to steer bands away from Lambert/Hood Booking when I can.

Yeah, I know quite a few people in bands who were shorted.
I think a lot of it is due to that door polling BS they do. The idea of pitting bands in a who-can-get-more-people-out contest is repulsive to me and causes nothing but friction between bands in the community.

I have also known people who helped them book shows after which they were sketchy with money.
Title: Re: This week rollcall

thanks! although, I've had varying degrees of good / bad attitude over not going, my practicality sometimes can get the best of me. I'm letting it go I guess, as health and day job and to save money are important right now. I have feelings of regret for missing activities, seminars & shows I'd really like to see. (including talk/show w/ Depeche Mode! Dave Grohl! (although some things will be streamed online...).

I guess I understand their position, and maybe not surprised they can't provide a refund even for medical, but their response was odd. They asked me for more detail (not req'd per HIPPA) and changed their refund req'mnts in each conversation, all which I supplied. In the end, they said no.

Anyway, thanks again - I'll be more positive! :P Hope whoever goes has a great week. Lemme know if anyone wants it, even for half $ I'd give it away to someone who would like to use it.

Im not going to be able to go to either, since I am spending money on Ring of Honor Best in the World PPV and then the next day Ring of Honor TV Taping in Baltimore.  Way more fun (i you like the wrestling part more than the "entertainment" part) to go to.

yes we know you want a short show... wasn't it you that said 45 minutes was enough?... you must also hate having to clap for an encore...

I'm not sure how I feel about the five encores... it was kinda funny as basically they seemed to say that as long as the crowed wanted more they'd keep coming out...

Jag you would not have been disappointed.  It was nice and loud. And with those four bands, there was a lot of gaze variety going on, so it definitely never was boring.  You need to check out Fan-Tan (from NYC) who are releasing an album soon.  Really good shoegaze with really upfront, clear vocals (Exit Calm semi-reminds me of the them). 

And lights! Lots of nice light shows too (with Nightmare Air having the best).
Title: Re: This week rollcall

http://www.youtube.com/showlistdc - I posted videos from every band except Fan-Tan.  One more Ceremony video to upload tonight when I get home, but there's enough there for your listening pleasure today.

I thought the sound for Ceremony was awful-- so much feedback, it made it almost unlistenable (you can hear it in my videos as well).  It was as if the sound guy had given up or something.  Really disappointed in the late start time, which made for very short sets from each of the bands.

I actually had a blast, it was nice to see people actually not getting buried in 3 minutes hahaha there was about 8 matches. I haven't been to a house show since I was a kid and it was in my neck of the woods so I was double excited. They didn't announce a return date, but I was surprised by the turnout considering Raw is 8 days away. I am also going to that Raw AFTER going to Opening Day. So much partying to be done!! I've actually been looking at more local shows, I don't follow ROH closely but I'd love to see one of those shows!

I bought tickets to the RoH doubleheader already.  THere are different prices per section/row, but definitely affordable.  I went with a less expensive option for my seats...

2 days - 8 hours of fun
90 dollars - for two people for those two days
Row 5 - seats for the PPV ($25 each)
Row 2 - seats for the TV Taping ($20 each)

Yup, she's still with AN, and she also guested on the latest Pig Destroyer album (not a surprise, with the Scott Hull tie-in).... which is why she guested at the Pig Destroyer release show as well.  Saw her a few weeks back at the Windhand show in Baltimore (she's a big fan, apparently), so she's still around.

They were supposed to play the Black Cat with a bunch of awesome black metal bands but they cancelled then split. Do Agoraphobic Nosebleed even play shows? I would love to see them sometime.

The first set was nearly identical to the Baltimore show. Opened with "Only Life" and then did a couple Velvets covers (Who Loves the Sun, There She Goes Again) and then mostly stuff from Time For a Witness and the Good Earth. One or 2 songs from Here Before. Also a cover of Neil Young ("Don't Cry No Tears"). I actually left after the first encore. What were some of the other covers they played? In Baltimore Bill Million pointed to my Stooges shirt before they played "I Wanna Be Your Dog".

It's sold out, so finding people in the crowd will be difficult, but if you see a girl in a ShowlistDC hoodie (black with red lettering), come up and say hi.  I recognize that wearing black doesn't make one particularly easy to spot in a metal crowd, but so be it.

Well, if it were completely a grindcore show, I'd say you'd be right, but with Darkest Hour and the CBC tie-in, there might be more women than you'd expect.

And I meant to say: "it's GOING TO BE sold out", which it sounds like it will be by the time the show starts.

The Veldt (NYC)
https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Veldt/154526351270221
https://www.facebook.com/ApolloHeights
Formed by identical twin brothers singer/guitarist Daniel and guitarist Danny Chavis, and rounded out by drummer Marvin Levi on drums and bassist Dave Burris, The Veldt quickly became the "must see attraction" of the quirky art-rock scene in Chapel Hill, NC (which also held bands like Superchunk, Polvo and Dillon Fence in its ranks). The Veldt released their first proper record, Marigold's, on Stardog/Mercury, in 1992. Marigold's was received well enough to earn the band a much more lucrative contract with Polygram Records. The result was the cult classic Afrodisiac recorded and produced in London, England with Ray Shulman (The Sugarcubes,The Sundays, etc.) at the helm. Afrodisiac's under current rumblings eventually rose to cause a storm as the band soon found themselves sharing stages with likes of Oasis, The Cocteau Twins, The Pixies, Fishbone, Corrosion Of Conformity and a host of other seminal alternative bands. After two more records, Universe Boat on Yesha Recordings and Love At First Hate on their own imprint, End Of The World Technologies, Danny left the band preceded by Burris who left the music business for a career in film in 1994 (he is currently the producer for CBS's hit show Survivor). The Veldt continued on in various incarnations until it was put to bed in 1998. After relocating to New York City, Danny and Daniel focused on their new band Apollo Heights. This time around, The Chavis brothers pushed their musical boundaries with more electronica and trip hop influenced back drops to create texture with Daniel's soulful falsetto croon. Their last recording, White Music For Black People, featured the twins and special guests Mos Def and Lady Miss Kier from Delite fame. TV On The Radio's David Sitek handled some of the production with Danny and Daniel doing the rest.
Suzy Blu (members of Insect Guide. UK)
http://suzyblu.tumblr.com/
https://www.facebook.com/insectguide
Formed in Leeds in late 2005, Insect Guide ? Su Sutton and Stan Howells ? have been sending ripples through the musical underground ever since thanks to their distinctive brand of DARK, CINEMATIC POP.

After two years of intensive activity Insect Guide's debut album, 6ft in Love, appeared on Leeds' Dead Penny Records in October 2007. The release included a DVD of self-produced videos. Sometimes bizarre and disturbing, sometimes gentle and reflective, the videos complemented the music perfectly; fans of the band's immersive, audio-visual live shows would have expected no less.

An UNCUT magazine 'DEBUT OF THE MONTH', Subba-Cultcha described it as 'a beautiful and idiosyncratic pop album'; Drowned in Sound called it 'AN IRRESISTABLE POP MASTERPIECE... AS DARK AS THE MOST POTENT VELVET UNDERGROUND'. Elsewhere, the album drew favourable comparisons to The Jesus and Mary Chain, Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine.

6ft in Love was followed in January 2008 by a limited EP featuring remixes of two tracks by SONIC BOOM (MGMT/Spacemen 3/Spectrum). The CD quickly sold out.

The first half of 2008 saw the Insects gigging heavily in support of both releases, supporting the likes of Ulrich Schnauss, Pains of Being Pure At Heart and Maps. A mini-tour of the USA in March was followed by appearances in Norway and Poland. Meanwhile, the band's profile in the UK was raised by their cover of Dinosaur Jr.'s 'FREAKSCENE' on RADIO 1's STEVE LAMACQ show and in the pages of the NME ('an amazing cover of Dinosaur Jr.'s finest moment').

In late 2008 ? with the SONIC BOOM remix of 'Frozen' finding a whole new audience on Northern Star Records' groundbreaking Psychedelica Three compilation ? Insect Guide began gigging and recording with drummer Chris Cooper, of 4AD legends THE PALE SAINTS. The result is a new batch of songs that show Insect Guide, far from struggling to follow their debut, are just hitting their stride: still darkly atmospheric, still multi-layered, still beautifully crafted ? but louder, more direct, and more unashamedly 'pop'.

With a MARC RILEY session under their belts and STEVE LAMACQ calling their version of Paparazzi "The Gaga cover that EVERYONE has been asking about", Insect Guide released their 2nd album "DARK DAYS & NIGHTS" in October 2010.

Blackpool Holiday
https://www.facebook.com/blackpoolholiday
Formed in 2010, Blackpool Holiday is a three-piece indie-pop band from Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Influenced by the North American and U.K. indie scene, Blackpool Holiday's songwriting style blends smart lyrics with catchy, upbeat, indie/pop music that will have you singing along and leave you wanting more. Following the release of a three-song demo in early 2011, BpH gained momentum by playing several local shows in front of their hometown fans. By mid-Summer, opportunities to play regionally arose, highlighted by a set at the annual Gathering Of The Vibes Festival in Bridgeport, Connecticut (headlined by Elvis Costello and Jane's Addiction). 2012 holds great promise for Blackpool Holiday. In March, their first single, "Seymour," was released on Dare To Be Louder - a compilation cd produced by The University of Delaware radio station, WVUD 91.3FM; They released three new demo recordings which have pushed them up to #5 on the ReverbNation charts (Baltimore Indie bands); and, their Summer bookings include: 98 Rock's Noise In The Basement and the Atlanta, Ga stop on Van's Warped Tour. They are currently writing new material for their debut EP.

oh also Ron Sexsmith

I'm actually not sure why I bought tickets for these.. I guess I wanted to see Tommy Ederlyi but he was replaced by Sylvain..which is cool.. I love the Dolls but... I'm just not feeling it ..of coure Glen Matlock...is it copacetic to get him to sign Never mind the bollocks? He played on it and wrote a lot of it but officially was not a part of it....its just weird to have only glen matlock sign it...i used up my Lydon autograph on Metal Box (the US reissue second edition actually..I wonder if Lydon would have signed Never mind the bollocks while touring as PIL? part of me says no.. part of me wishes I'd had him sign my Lydon bio Rotten...but i couldnt track it down before show)

maybe I was desperate cause there have been so few shows I've been into seeing lately.. I've always sorta a ltitle wanted to see Ron Sexsmith but.....lets face it..its going to be a singer songwriter snoozefest..

Im leaning towards Slumberland and maybe Chelsea...

So Best Coast Show was last night.  They played 40 minutes set and didn't do an encore.  Perhaps this is why they didn't sell-out the Ottobar until the day of the show.  I guess next time through they will be playing a smaller venue.

I do like the Chelsea Light Moving album but will most likely miss the show. I might try for Redd Kross Friday.

I think I'm definitely hitting Ottobar on Sunday. They got two rad shows in one night! Kowloon Walled City with Zozobra, Ancient Shores & Passage Between downstairs for 10 bucks and a free show upstairs with The People's Temple, Lazlo Lee & The Motherless Children, Creepoid & Other Colors. Other than Lazlo Lee I have not seen any of those bands and think I am in for a treat.

Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: azaghal1981 on April 05, 2013, 11:23:58 am
Yeah I was expecting a better turnout too. Didn't Thurston sell out the room when he toured for that solo album? I thought that one was lackluster and skipped that show. Then again, I think Kurt Vile opened that show which may have helped attendance.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: showlistdc on April 05, 2013, 11:33:07 am
yeah, 2/6/12.  And yeah, Kurt Vile was a big draw for that show (which I skipped for the same reason you did).

I think that despite all the good press on CLM, there are still some SY fans who don't know that's Thurston's new band.  He seems to want it that way-- the show certainly wasn't promoted as "CLM featuring Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth".

I knew about that show but seeing one of the later Sonic Youth shows I attended was so awful I passed on it.  Plus he isn't doing Sonic Youth songs so probably that kept a lot of Sonic Youth fans from attending.

if a sonic youth fan did not go see thurston because he will not play sonic youth songs . . . then that person is not a sonic youth fan, in my opinion.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: azaghal1981 on April 05, 2013, 12:02:23 pm
I agree to a degree. I've seen Thurston play improv sets that sounded nothing like SY. Not sure how most Sonic Youth fans would feel about this, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fys9Lrmmy0) for instance. That being said, last night was a full band show that was very Sonic Youth sounding; pretty sure most Sonic Youth fans would have enjoyed it. Also anyone who knows anything about the contemporary experimental music scene knows that the rest of the band is no joke.

So yeah Jowe Head.


Fantastic sets both Saturday and Sunday. Exact same set but whatever. Highlight was the Vertical Slum>Full Moon>Mother Sky>Full Moon medley at the end. Also Cakeshop Girl and Swiss Air. He asked at one point if anybody was at the T.V. Personalities gig at the Club in 92 and a hush fell over the crowd. Little surprising. I figured maybe one or two people in that crowd would have gone to that. Popfest with Killsaly was a great time all around. Great crowd too. Hopefully it is an ongoing thing.


Maybe the Velvet thing tomorrow.
White Lung/Pissed Jeans Friday.
Probably Sonic Circuits thing Saturday.

If you do, say hi! PM me if you are going to go.  Roomrunner is always great live, and I really enjoyed this space.  Just be forewarned if you have never been, it is probably the closest thing to a "house show" at a "legit venue".  Ill just leave it at that.  I like shows/spaces like that, but not everyone does (no sound guy (sound is still good though), no stage (band plays at same level as crowd), and no backstage area (so if you want you can easily hang with the bands)).

I liked it. They basically just serve food and leave the bands to their own devices. Great sounding space too. Sound for Jowe Head was exponentially better there. Sam who played in the first Popfest band/used to run sound at Velvet did sound at the Judy's show.

Maybe Inter Arma Tuesday

That Inter Arma show is going to be fierce.  Earthling and Midnight Eye are great too (I've never seen Permafrost, so I can't offer an opinion there)-- one of the best metal DIY lineups so far this year.

Sadly, though, I'll be on a plane for a 24-hour trip to Canada, so I'm going to miss it.  I might try to catch Earthling and Inter Arma at Golden West on Sunday, or I might go to that Hellgoat show at the Sidebar.

The rest of my week:
Mon - Fu Manchu & Borracho @ Black Cat
Thu - Billy Bragg @ Birchmere
Fri - Death tribute @ FSS
Sat - "The Birds" film at National Gallery, who knows what concert that night
Sun - Hellgoat @ Sidebar and/or Inter Arma/Earthline @ Golden West

I enjoyed it especially the last song in the main set/encore. Thought they could have stretched other songs out the way they did with those last two. One of a few bands that would benefit from a longer set. Holy Wave were cool too.

Holy shit, Goat is playing in Newport Kentucky tonight. That's more than 500 miles away in less than 24 hours. They must have sprinted to the bus after the show ended last night.

And then they have to travel 1,100 miles in less than 2 days to get to Austin.

Five hundred miles isn't that far to drive.

Yes, it's not hard for a person to drive 500 miles. It is difficult for more than a dozen people, along with gear and equipment, to travel 500 miles. And they had to seriously hustle to get there, find the place, load in, soundcheck, etc etc etc before they're set to go on stage, with no margin for error or the show is cancelled. And then they had to immediately get back on the road and drive 1,100 miles.

In fact, they're probably racing down the road right now because that show that's 1,100 miles away is in just a few hours. In less than 96 hours, this entire group has driven at least 1,600 miles and played two shows. Maybe that's not impressive to you and maybe you've never done anything remotely like that.

Beach House was pretty decent.  Lower Dens I enjoyed most.  Seems like they have another guitarist.   Sounded different than their prior sets.  Yo Lo Tengo is one of the worst bands I have ever seen.  They should have had someone like Celebration or Wye Oak in their spot.  My suggestion to Yo Lo Tengo.  Have the women sing all the songs and stop having her play drums.  And lose the guitar guy.  He is a big negative.

If you lose the guitar guy, you probably lose the drummer too, as they are married.

You'd also lose hte guy who writes the songs.

Well the songs sort of suck. I was wondering why the women let the guy who plays guitar sing.  I guess the marriage thing is the explanation.

I received this email from HTDA:

"As you must immediately enter the venue when you pick up your tickets, we will not start distributing tickets for this show until 6:45 PM (15 minutes before the 7:00 PM official door time). We will not open doors to the general public until after all those in line to pick up HTDA pre-sale tickets at 6:45 PM have been processed into the building.

Line up to pick up your HTDA.com member pre-sale tickets at the far left front entrance door to The Fillmore (when facing the front of the venue on Colesville Road/US 29). The line will extend to the left on the sidewalk, as directed by venue staff, towards Georgia Avenue."

If my past experience at the FSS is any indication, the show will end by 11.  8 PM is likely the first band's start time (note that it might start even earlier than that).  The Facebook event lists 7 PM, which (again, based on my past experience) I would guess is the door time.

Post by: Got Haggis? on May 01, 2013, 08:53:09 am
yeah, the visuals were incredible.  LED lights allow bands to do crazy stuff nowadays.  This was my first time at The Fillmore.  Went upstairs to check it out and was disappointed to find out they had seating and tables around the edge that you had to pay additional money if you wanted to sit there.  They sold me $20 for seating...but a friend told me it was like $100 for a table and $40 for seating later....that is insane.  You can still stand behind the seats, but the view is somewhat obscured. 

Hopefully no more bands play there that I want to see.

my only complaint was that some douchebag in front of me (I was towards the front) had his cell phone on during the entire time recording - obscuring my vision + blinding me with the light form the screen

i was thoroughly impressed with the HTDA show.  the music translated live better that i thought it would.  visuals were indeed stunning, need to upload a few of the pix i took.  sound quality was great.  the room felt very generic and folks at the bar, along the sides, wouldn't shut up.  luckily i managed to move into the center of the floor after a few songs and that greatly improved my experience.  didn't love the venue but didn't instantly hate it.  it was just... there.

always good to bump into bearman, and apologies to hemishire for the ticket screw-up.  luckily someone took pity on my lack of organizational skills (brought the wrong tickets to the show!) and gave me their extra.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: killsaly on May 01, 2013, 12:37:44 pm
I agree, that was an excellent show.  DIIV killed it.  HTDA were a complete experience... Visually, and sonically.  My only complaint is that I was next to a few "Bros" (capital B) who would not shut up pretty much the whole time, and who drank so much beer they all had to take several bathroom breaks during the relatively short time HTDA played. (and crowd noise in general, why cant people shut up for ONE HOUR?)  Anyways, back to the good.  Sound?  Excellent.  The bass was loud, and I could clearly make out all singing and instruments (ie the loud bass didnt drown anything out, like it could in a bass heavy show), everything sounded good.  Visuals?  nine inch nails level for sure.  It was great to be able to see them in a venue that size.  The venue was nice, and clean.  The staff was friendly, nice bathrooms, etc.  I really enjoyed the venue and the night. 

Complaint 2 - Joe.  What is up with that dude?

the less said the better.... ;D

the word karaoke comes to mind... something about him singing the smiths/electronic songs really did not work for me.... i just identify those songs with sumner and morrissey's voices that to hear marr's plain (not bad but just undistinctive) vocals did not work for me... andthe newer songs did nothing for me...

club was crowded though...

i was so not into the show i didn't even buy the autographed poster and i'm usually a guarantee for those...

Couldn't agree more. That was probably my favorite Breeders show I've seen. I know a lot of people might not agree with this, but to me it's not the Breeders without Josephine. She is one of the most underrated musicians and her solo LP is one of my desert islands discs. She's got some crazy good bass lines on Last Splash.

If you don't have a fever you don't have the flu.  If you do go to the doctor because you might have pneumonia.  I had a awful cough for a month.  Weezing and everything.  Worst cold/bronchitis i have experieced.

Cold fevers tend to be that way. It's the cough that drags on and on sometimes, usually because of post nasal drip. Mucinex seems to make any cough I have worse because it thins the mucus too much. I found Sudafed to be much more useful, but you have to ask the pharmacist for it and show your ID. The store brand is just as good and often one third the price.

And congrats on your 10,000th post, though probably not the subject you wanted it to be  ;D

The old doctor's joke about colds is that they last a week if you treat them and seven days if you don't (but not counting the cough). That's usually the case for me. First day sore throat, then a day or two of feverishness, a few more days of snottiness, then seven to seven hundred days of coughing.

Did you make it?  Solid show though her voice was fried since it was the end of the tour. Didn't care too much...it's not like I listen to her for her ability to hit high notes.

Wish there had been some stuff off of her first album, but I was still pretty happy with the show.  She's easily one of the few new-ish musicians I really care about these days.  But also I'm old.

Still, nothing really beats that show at the RNR Hotel back in the day with Zach Hill.  That was insane.

Typical DC Crowd.  I don't know how many people I have picked up and moved who have pushed their way to the front and then stand right in front of me.  Or the people at Rufus Wainwright who talked the whole time in my ear.  If you want to talk at the show go in the back.  or better yet don't.

I think I'll be at Dead Confederate at Black Cat Friday. I'm pretty psyched Arbouretum got added as the opener! I am also stoked about the free Borracho beer party at the Pinch. I have not been there yet and this certainly seems like the right night to go! Weed is Weed opening up will be hilarious too! Sunday Kvelertak show will be a hot mess but 'm sure I will make the best of it. I have not done 3 shows in 3 nights in some time.

Of course that psych show at Cafe Fiesta doesnt even start until around 9 PM... no way i can do a double header with the Priests show.  I might just skip it all and see Dead Confederate tomorrow for my weekly live music fix.  Also, there are at least three shows for next week that I bought tickets for and cant skip, so missing today isnt that big of a deal.

I might have an extra for Future Islands tonight at Metro... Pm me if you want it, it might be gone soon!

Atomicfront refuses to meet people from the board because he met some freako girlfriend through the internet...

Future Islands fans, if you didnt go last night, you missed out.  The band was as amazing as ever and it really felt like a special occasion.  They played two off of In Evening Air (An Apology and Long Flight) and a couple from On the Water (Before the Bridge and Give Us the Wind); and that was it for old songs.  The rest of the 90 plus minutes set was new material, never played live, and shared with the world for the first time last night.  The songs didnt even have titles, as Sam pointed out for most of them.  Their new album is going to be great, if last night was any indication.  Clocking in at over an hour and a half, it was probably the longest set they will play, as they usually do hour long sets. Anyways, great music, and a great crowd equaled magic.

Too bad I was too sick to go to the Bats, it sounds like to was really good.

Saw Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks debut show at Metro Gallery on Thursday. I liked the music, it was really psychedelic and a great supergroup (Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors, Ponytail).  Celebration and Janka/the Bubu Gang was a lot of fun, lots of dancing.

Did anyone else know Thrushes played Club K tonight? I would of definitely went. I don't think they have played in years.

BTW-Review of Widespread Panic from a Deadhead/musician friend who attended the mountain jam in upstate NY last weekend- I've never cared much for them when hearing their material on XM radio jam station. I think Herring is a strong guitarist, but he seems more technical than emotional/expressive. Panic live wasn't great. The sound was just a big mush of wailing guitars and and sax and drums and keys into one big ball of loudness, it was always loud and wailing, little dynamics in songs and between them. I couldn't get the story of any of their original songs. They started playing one song and I started liking it a lot more - it was low spark of high heeled boys cover. That was nice, but not a good sign when only song you like is a cover. Panic is not for me I guess. Other people were tripping out and shuffling in the mud and going "fuckin panic is sick dude!"

But Iron Maiden has the big stage show with the rotting corpses and fire and more fire and nerdy prog metal jams. I always found that they were one of the few bigger 80's metal bands that never went full on cheese. Even though they played nerdy prog metal jams. They walked up to that cheese line and never crossed it as far as I know.

If you charge triple figures, you can go fuck yourself. If you charge four, you need to die in a fire.

you guys....the naivete!


all they've done on this tour is take the scalpers out of the game by charging what the scalpers would have charged had the Stones priced them below market.. at the same time they've incorporated a new thing where they sell a lot of seats for $$85 and when you get there they tell you where you sit (basically filling in the unsold seats- many of them $600 seats- with people who paid $85)..  most of the pit is made up of $85 tickets....

having said that most people who pay $85 won't get good seats... but there are by now enough stories from the tour to establish that you have a chance for a $600 "seat" spending $85...all comes down to luck

I'm hoping to show up this evening and get a pair of those $85 seats from the box office window due to the fact that there are so many empty seats for this show. It's been happening in many other cities.

no Kosmo..what Franz Ferdinand did is say if you live in DC you have to pay double if you live in Philly..

Stones prices are constant in every market. Honestly I really dont' care if people on this board hate the Stones but I was tryin to explain what they're doing with the pricing... if you want to hate them go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yada, to answer what you wrote... the fact there are empty seats showing means nothing..theyv'e sold many many $85s and they can fill them in with those.... looking unlikely any more $85 releases.. both Philly shows had none close to date etc.. basically the $85s give them a lot of flexibility.. they will have some walk up purchases today and they will fill the rest with $85s..having said that the thing to watch for are the $150s... there may be some pretty good seats released today for $150 (seats that used to be $600 or $300)...

anyways i ain't going myself...but those that do enjoy it!

I'm assuming the $85 seats are already pre-determined where they're sitting, no? If there are 1,000 empty seats in the 100 level, why wouldn't they release more tickets? At any rate, whether or not $85 seats will be released, the show isn't close to sold out from what I gather.

I seriously doubt there will be any $85s released.... and the show will be a sell out or close in the end much like every other show. i don't know when they print the seat assignments for the $85s or how they do the whole thing but you could buy some real pricey seats before any of the shows on the tour.. just cause they're showing up as unsold doesn't mean they don't realize most likely they will fill them up with $85s....

but best of luck!

Only caught two AFIDOCS movies. The Punk Singer, the Kathleen Hanna doc was awesome. Left an even bigger fan of hers than before. Our Nixon was as close to a light-hearted Nixon documentary as you will probably get. It was basically a collage of home movies and tapes that tried to humanize him as much as he can be humanized which is pretty difficult. Oh and Bob Woodward was part of a panel afterward and he still comes off as being hella full of himself.

Man...or Astro-Man? killed.

Just swung by the box office and the not so in the know lady did say that there will most likely be cheap (er)  tickets released today, however that could still mean $300 a ticket.

Meh, maybe I won't be attending.

$150 lower bowl is best possibility you will have i think.. and maybe not even that....

despite people's protestations its a very hot ticket.... stones always are...

Franz Ferdinand has different promoters playing different venues.   Rolling Stones has same promoter both playing huge sports arenas.  Promoters can charge whatever they want.  Franz Ferndinand is still a lot cheaper than the Stones at a better venue.  If people don't want to pay for the prices artists are charging they will lose money but at least they aren't charging 30 bucks and then selling the actual tickets to scalpers so you can't get any at 30 bucks and have to pay money on stubhub.  They are being honest what the ticket prices are and you can either buy them or not.  Seems fair to me.

this argument about the promoter is a bit disingenous... ultimately the promoter offers them certain money based on what they can get... just like the Stones are responsible for high ticket prices so Franz is responsible for the disparity in prices between Philly and DC..

If you were an artist I am sure you would take the most money you could get from a reputable promoter.  Basically it is the audience that sets the prices.  If a promoter like Seth can't fill an arena after he pays a band and he does this a consistent basis he will go out of business.  The Stones can get the money they get becuase their fans are old and have a lot of money and go to a very limit amount of shows.  The band and Seth are trying to make as much money as possible off the show.  If they could sell out the show charging 500 dollars a ticket they would.

Belle and Sebastian Friday

I saw them in Montreal a few days ago and I have to say it was one of their better performances. Mick isn't on this tour (his wife just had a baby) but there are still plenty of people in the band to cover trumpet. It's always so fun to see them perform, and since they have no recent material, they play a very wide variety of things from LPs and EPs. This will be a great show.

i thought this show was way too cool.  can bring in food and drinks.  they moved it inside due to expected rain (well, i assume at least), which was too bad, but it's a gorgeous place to have a show whether it's inside or out. there should be a couple more coming up this summer.

Paul McCartney show was awesome.  Glad I skipped the Belle and Sebastian show for him.   Sequence of Ob La Di, Ob La Da, Band on the Run, Back in the USSR, Let it Be, Live and Let Die, Hey Jude, Day Tripper had to be the best of any show in my life. 

I was probably in the youngest 10 percent in the audience.  Never been to a stadium show before.  I would have preferred to be on the floor than being in the club level but it was still awesome.

National Park is certainly no Camden Yards.  Shitty area for a stadium.

B&S were indeed wonderful.  i can't believe that anyone can walk away from one of their shows without a big stupid smile on their face.  stuart was indeed in rare form.  i slightly prefer their last show at DAR, but not by a lot.

YLT oscillated between ok and annoying.  they had some really nice moments in the first half of their set, but the second half was littered with self-indulgence.  kaplan's attempts at guitar-god antics during those 5-minute noise-solos just bugged.  it wasn't technically impressive - i can play that shit.  if the show was in a small club packed with their faithful i can see them getting away with that... but it wasn't.  for me, it was 20 minutes of good music stretched out over an hour.

spent the evening in the company of the boardee formerly known as julian.  his version of america lives on.  while hanging in the pit we engaged in a hardy game of "spot the non-caucasian"... we both lost.  he sends his greetings to miss p, vansmack and walkonby.

once again, got in and out of MPP with zero hassles.

Curses, once again foiled by my arch nemesis the playlist.  Got to the club last night, only to find out, the band had other plans for pre-show music.  Guess that means I'll just save that epic 10 minute extended version of Ultravox "Dancing with tears in my eyes" for another night...

Glad I stuck around, OMD were just great.  Andy's voice is great shape and he bounces around the stage like a man possessed when not singing.  And yes while for purely selfish reasons, I would have liked to hear more back catalog songs, the new album sounds great upon first listen.  They play several songs I own on 12" vinyl, including ending the night with their first single "electricity". Current EMD acts should take note, two keyboard players, bass and a live drummer and not an laptop or iPad to be seen on stage.

The opening act not so good...

Sweetcell, couldn't disagree more on Yo La Tengo but you probably figured this. ;D A little Ira guitar noise never hurt anybody. Like with the Feelies, their sets are a long exercise in tension and release with that 12-13 minute closer being the perfect cap.

And that is a bummer, Kosmo! I know how much you were looking forward to that DJ set.

I saw B&S in Montreal & was envious at those on stage. I couldn't help it, the moment presented itself and it was more fun than you can imagine. I love that band so much.

Yo La Tengo have become hit & miss for me lately. I love their music but that wasn't my favorite.

kind of funny reading Atomicfront's comments about YLT


in the late 90s these 2 were probably in my top 5 bands going...for a while Belle and Sebastian where doing everything right..tigermilk, those early eps, if you're feeling sinister and a large chunk of the boy with the arab strap are perfect.. i could listen to my wandering days are over forever... then it collapsed.. it was ugly.. Yo La Tengo, I guess if Atomicfront has listened to ELectropura and he doesn't like it then one can't argue with that but I think its great stuff as is the follow up I can hear the heart beating or whatever...

I think since about 2001 they've both nose-dived in terms of quality and in particular Belle and Sebastian......but if others enjoy them great..someone said he was excited about Legal Man so I guess different flavors for different folks.. I think that song is pretty horrid.. I kinda wanted to see them on Friday (have never seen Belle) but glad I went to see the Specials instead...because i loved every second of it..

I don't like the Lumineers because of the press. I looked up similar artists to Of Monsters and Men and listened to some of them and loved the Lumineers.  I knew of Monster and Men because I was checking out all the acts that were playing the Black Cat.

I know you like Yo Lo Tango because of the music press because they are one of the worst bands I have ever seen.  You couldn't have just listened to their music and random and liked them.  I just checked out their story seems the awful lead singer guitarist used to work as a music critic for village voice.  I get it now.  I could see liking the rest of the band but that guy is just awful. I mean the chick doesn't have a terrible voice.  They might be decent if they replaced him with just about anyone in the world.  Even a bad Kazoo player would be a major improvement.  Only an egomaniac would insist on singing when there is a passable singer in the band and he can't sing at all.  Only an egomaniac would insist on having guitar solos when he doesn't know how to play the instrument. 

I thought they might just be awful live but after hearing them  on the radio they are awful recorded as well.

Ha ha ha...their cover of "Caught in a Mosh" made my night.

It really was a cordial and fun audience. I know so many people going to New Order I think that'll likely be one giant dance party.

Oh, and the B&S was by far one of the most sexually ambiguous audiences I've seen in a while. I'm surprised it didn't turn into an orgy afterwards.

That DCIst review hits on what bugs me about this band. They are too polished/professional/business-like for a band at this level. They even have specific roles to play in interviews. Basically a boyband for the indie-rock set. I have heard nothing but praise heaped on their live show and am not willing to totally write them off until after I see them but that album honestly doesn't warrant more than a couple listens IMO. The last "mean business in every sense of the word" line in that review sums it up nicely. There are obvious forces at play other than the band here churning pre-album hype since roughly before CMJ last year and providing them with press not afforded to 99.99999% of bands as young as they are. Bands like Wax Idols and Wetdog have been doing a similar thing for years with better, catchier songs now and are deserving of the same amount of attention (more if you ask me) and have gotten next to none. None at all as far as Wetdog is concerned.

Success! Nice to meet ya, Bagley.

Swirlies were LOUD. My guy friends were in Heaven...no vocals really...garage, heavy rock. (at times like watching 5 guitarists and drummer (what was the woman doing?) in a garage during band practice). I had to leave a couple times just too loud. (the volume, not music. Kurt was musically loud at times but the level of volume worked well throughout)

Kurt was great. Guy friends thought it started to sound the same, but musically, Kurt writes a great song with many, many layers. I love a good singer/songwriter who can create a full effect and ramp up a partly lighter side of rock with some heaviness and build. I also appreciated both bands just got up there and played a basic rock show - not crazy lights and whatnot. (Kurt's band is pretty talented as well) It was like being back in college, so this is definitely the type of music I'm happy to find among so much out there right now. His acoustic portion was good too (pretty much what you've heard on the radio live circuit).  The club got pretttyyy hotttt after while I didn't feel any a/c after song 5. Crowded, but respectful, fun crowd - albeit weird at times with heat/drink, full moon. I'm just glad I got to Kurt after this time and at the club. Thanks, 930!

I thought both Swirlies and Kurt Vile were great but I was sure glad I brought my earplugs.  Also, I had the most annoying crowd experiences at that show that I've ever had.  One group that couldn't hold their self importance and a second that couldn't hold whatever substance they were on.  Truly annoying.  It was a much better draw then I expected as well.

I had plugs too. Couldn't handle Swirlies. I stood behind the wall and at times had to leave the lobby and go outside. (As it was for OMD - which I left halfway through and was using plugs.) So funny, the crowd was odd. (luckily I encountered friendly odd ones give or take one or two.) Crowd really filled in as he hit the stage. So hot and found it hard to wait the half hour b/w late sets. Poor friends really wanted to go by 11:15/30 b/c of heat but also they thought the songs sounded the same.

I saw that Priests side project once. Honestly forget which members make it up. They played a matinee at The Pinch in March I think.

Edit: Taylor, the Bassist is in that band. Come to think of it, I am unsure if you have seen them with her yet. They have a much tighter, fuller sound with her. You can hear it on the new Priests tape on their Bandcamp. Young Trynas also have one. (http://youngtrynas.bandcamp.com)

i've had great luck coming up 29 (northbound), overshooting MPP, turning around at the first exit, going south on 29, taking the S. Entrance Rd exit, turning left on Little Patuxant, right into the mall, and parking in the parking deck structures (not in the uncovered mall lot).  i did this for both the Postal Service and for B&S, got in and out with zero hassles.

So the haters can see all the fun!

i've looked at that as i drove by, but it's never clear if that lot is available for us concert-goers.  for one of my recent shows there was some sort of a security dude & partial barricades there, i assumed he was there to keep us out.  sounds like i was wrong.

Post by: hutch on July 24, 2013, 09:58:08 am
 i made a point of getting there on time (a huge sacrifice as it meant leaving my home at 2:40 or so)....good parking lot scene.. no cop bullshit.. i pounded back a few beers and cranked some bob on my boombox... weather was nice.. i went in just as bingham was starting.. a side note: i went to 932 just as MMJ was ending and was really dissapointed by the beer selection...stella, shocktop and two really shitty beers.. also corona cans..that semeed about it.. i'm not a beer snob but i was expecting more...

i am a huge bob dylan fan.. i can't pretend i'm not but my experience was that bob blew wilco off the stage.... my morning jacket i did not care for much (my third time seeing them...I just don't get them I guess...).. bingham was good but a short set of course...

what impressed me about bob last night was he was singing and not spitting out the lyrics in a rap manner as he has done at times the past few years.. .he was singing and was very engaged... at times acting out the lyriccs.. i got up very close..about the equivalent of 2nd row center in the general admission pit... so i was about 10-15 feet away from the band....

anyhow bob was in a great mood except for some issues with the piano.. he seemed unhappy about it but it sounded ok for me.. .he sent the head roadie scurrying for is life to fix it (I would hate that job!).... then he seemed fine with it.... it was rather strange how there seemed to be heat lamps or whatever on the sides of the stage.. his poor band in those matching suits and wearing those hats and with the lighting and the heat lamps..they were sweating to get their pay! the new guitarist played some nice licks to high water and tried not to fuck up... it was fun kind of watching him taking cues from tony or ocassionally bob.... at one point i think he may have been lost and tony (who is really bob's right hand man for those that don't know) was looking at him and laughing his ass off....

the blind willie was great... the highlight for most people i think was a beautifully sung simple twist of fate... shame on dc crowds for not being more with it.. nobody but me cheered when he sang about all the washington ladies getting out of town or whatever... the crowd? i did not see this mass exodus after wilco i that i had been hearing so much about.. sure a few people left the pit (it was hot) but overall the pavillion looked pretty close to full which is saying a lot when people had been there for hours and hours.... as usual dc got the shaft in terms of guests (not ONE on ANY act!!!!!!!!!!)... no tweedy/james joining bob.... at one point towards the end of the show, can't remember song, bob started leading the band on the piano playng some licks you could tell the rest of the band had not see him do.. donnie herron right behind bob whose job is to follow him and kind of i guess lead the band.. tony garnier on bass also follows him. i guess they all do: divine "what is bob up to now?".. but anyhow you could tell donnie was really enjoying what bob was doing and had a "man, check out bob!" sort of look on his face..priceless... there was a point on thunder on the mountain where the jam really took flight and everyone in the crowd started hollerin' along... as i left the venue i overheard people here or there talking about bob... everything i was hearing was positive. there was none of the crap one can read on the internets..... i don't know how the sound was further back but i can tell you having seen him 21 times now that his singing was as intelligible as i have heard it and i have seen some good ones... "soon after midnight" was gorgeous.... i had not heard duquesne whistle live until last night and it was a highlight for me..

I've never gotten that close to Bob.. one of the reasons I went to the show was because I knew the general pit would give me a chance to get that close... boy bob is short! (i thought of atomicfront an had a chuckle)..

wilco? wilco was good..they are never going to be not good.. heck, just tweedy's voice is enough for me... they are a good band but for me they were just there.....i enjoyed it but to me it seemed pedestrian and by the book.. i've seen them now about 6-7 times and i am a fan but i didn't find much to hang my hat on .... tweedy didn't seem very engaged except for a brief "we love playing this place!" statement early on.. he's starting to look like lowell george which is not a good thing...of course they had to go and play heavy metal drummer.... at one point i think they played two songs in a row from the mermaid avenue albums which was very nice...the highlight of their set for me was passenger side...

I did not get MMJ.  I love his voice, and it was lovely for the first few songs, but after that it sounded a little like all the songs blended together.  But, they were still good and I'm glad they played.  Seemed like alot of the lawn folks were there for MMJ.  Was near some pretty douchey peeps, but then we moved and all was well!

Wilco's set reminded me why I love them.  They sounded great.  Was hoping for Kingpin, but that's okay.

Bob sounded in great form.  Loved all the songs, especially Simple Twist of Fate.  Was really disappointed that the cameras for him showed everything so freaking far away.  Guessing that was a request by Bob Dylan?  It sucked not to be able to see him, but we could hear him, and that's what's most important.  Was also disappointed there was no collaboration on stage as it seems like EVERY OTHER show has gotten something really cool.  But maybe that was a Merriweather curfew thing?  I've been up front for Bob before, and it was nice just to chill on the lawn on a lovely summer evening with a beautiful moon.

all in all, a perfect summer evening with good friends and good music!  Could not have asked for a better night!

i do consider myself a beer snob, and i'm with ya - the beer selection overall at MPP is bad.  goose island IPA is the best thing there, IMO, and it was tasting a little old at the B&S show.

i'm probably in the minority and i'm sure they sell a ton of beer as-is, but i'd really welcome some better craft beer options.  at B&S i wanted to drink another beer but there was nothing worthwhile... so i held on to my money.

right!  i'm hoping these comments make it up to those who can do something about it...

then again, MPP is about being big & moving a lot of product: lots of people, lots of tickets, lots of beer; so maybe cheap swill has been the plan all along.  go to 930 if you want intimate & quality, go to MPP if you want big and loud.

the only thing i can think of is that they are making a much higher profit margin on that swill.... i just had figured 932 would have good stuff cause its sort of an oasis... and that they would have been cool with having a good beer there...

I would have taken the Copperhead or Starr if they'd had them at 932... honestly my priority was positioning myself for the music not walking around the venue searching for something I wanted to drink...

I think I'm going back for New Order and that may be it for me for a while unless they get something good for Virgin Freefest..

Domestic Beer: Budweiser, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra Light, Bud Light Lime, Budweiser American Ale
 Import Beer: Stella Artois, Becks, Corona, Bare Knuckle Stout, Shock Top, Copperhead Ale, Starr Hill

I guess I would get the Copperhead Ale from this list.

I only live 30 minutes away from Merriweather. I feel the same way with Wolf Trap....glad they don't have anyone interesting playing there this year.  8)

I don't think I'd been back to Merriweather since Wilco in 2011... it is a hike for me!

Did anyone visit the VIP deck?  Thoughts?  I wish there was a perch where you could actually see the band live and not have to rely on monitors.  But I must say - each time I go to MPP I notice additions/improvements large and small which I hadn't seen before.

Tuesday - Gauntlet Hair at Black Cat Backstage (maybe)
Thursday - Screen Vinyl Image, Motion Lines, Dead Pleasures at Rock and Roll Hotel (definitely.  I think this will be the biggest venue I have seen SVI at so far)
Friday - Melvins at Ottobar and then possibly head over to Metro Gallery to catch Ducktails (probably for Melvins, maybe for Ducktails)

I can say without hesitation that I finally saw a New Order show that a) didn't suck and b) was just fine without Hooky. In fact, I've never seen them actually ENJOY themselves on that level. The Joy Division songs put a lump in my throat. What a perfect evening.

The show was great setlist wise. The sound was really poor - the base was too muddy, the keyboards weren't loud enough, and I couldn't understand a single thing Bernard was saying.

Also, the pit was completely still during Love Will Tear Us Apart, of all songs.

My friend I played a game: see how many Unknown Pleasures shirts you can spot at the show. We got there late and I got to about 7.

I'll happily take semi-OK sound and a heartfelt/fun performance over what I've seen from them before. Looking back at the songs they played last night, I'm not sure I would have changed much of the setlist. It was the perfect balance of all their stuff. I think the Joy Division songs were actually lost on a bunch of folks though. "Isolation" may have been my favorite actually. I thought it was outstanding. And the remixed version of "True Faith" turned a song that I've never enjoyed tremendously into something I'd go back to again.

This was my first time seeing them (bucket list!) so I don't have anything to compare it to.  Sumner's voice did seem a lot better than some live videos/recordings I've seen.

I love the original "True Faith" so I was a little bummed for this remix version.  "Atmosphere" was gorgeous.  Hope they do "Transmission" when I see them again.

I'm sure sound varies depending on where you were

i was back left corner of pit facing stage and sound was really good for me... i could hear bass very clear... maybe Gillian's keyboad was a bit low in mix... I was shocked at how good Sumner sang and I could hear every word clearly... I've seen plenty of video where he's been pretty atrocious...

I thought it was alll great... sure things could have been better.. they could have played 1 track from Technique maybe.. they could have not had a second guitarist obscuring my view of the drummer Morris... Gillian didn't need to look like an english maid but all in all it was a just great.. I kept getting goosebumps.. I'm still on such a high...

This was the most amazing show. I went into it not thinking "God I hope Oldham plays X, Y and Z" but rather "Let's see what he comes up with." It helps that I just read his book, which expounds at great length on his theories of making music. But I was completely in to every minute of this.

And let me tell you, when the openers came on -- two guys with acoustic guitars -- my heart and my boner just sank like a stone. But then midway through the first song, I thought "Wow, this sounds pretty good" and by the end of it, I was absolutely sold. I usually hate soft, delicate acoustic music but these guys were amazing. At the end of the BPB set, I ran into the guy on the left and told him virtually everything I said in this paragraph and he gave me a hug except that I didn't realize he was going in for a hug and so we had this awkward shoulder bump and then we made out.

Did your boner touch his boner?

wtf is mothership?  This also explains why it's been over 13 years since my last Phish show.

K8teebug, I get the sense you had an ex that dragged (drugged) you to multiple Phish shows in the 90's and now you resent them. Amirite?

And the Mothership is Hampton Coliseum which as far as I know has been called that since back when the Dead used to melt the place down. I could be wrong.

I have never heard that!  Makes sense.

No, I really really liked them.  Went to the Great Went.  I just associate them with college and got older and wasn't really into the whole scene as much any more....

Understood... there was a big chunk of the 00's that I lost interest but then I realized there isn't a band out there that puts on a show like them.

This my friends is why I still love this band. Sit back and take a listen... My christ.

If anyone is looking for something to do tonight, hit up the club and see some MELVINS!

Melvins were indeed awesome last night. Did they have merch at the Ottobar? They had no merch to speak of at the 9:30. JD Pinkus was making jokes about the merch situation during his Honky set. What was up?
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: killsaly on August 04, 2013, 08:08:26 pm
They had a TON of merch... About five or six t shirt designs, and tour posters for the event and other events (current event and overall tour were 20 and old dates from the tour and from Melvin's Lite were 10 bucks). Also tons of rare seven inches from the 80s and CDs and stickers and original drawings...

there was even a poster made, apparently: http://insidetherockposterframe.blogspot.com/2013/08/melvins-washington-dc-30th-anniversary-poster-gumball-designs.html

Wondering, perhaps, if the band decided not to sell merch at the 9:30 because the club takes a cut of merch sales.  I'm not sure whether the Ottobar does or not, but that could be the difference.  (Note: this is why sometimes when you see a band perform in several venues, they'll raise their prices at certain shows depending on how much of a cut the venue takes. Perhaps the band decided it wasn't worth it at the club.)

BIG STAR: NOTHING CAN HURT ME
Three shows only!
Official Selection, 2012 SXSW Film Festival

"A heartfelt tribute to the criminally overlooked band." ? Entertainment Weekly

"For anyone already curious, the film delivers the goods." ? The Village Voice

"A fine documentary on the classic-rock era's greatest cult band." ? Rolling Stone

BIG STAR: NOTHING CAN HURT ME is a feature-length documentary about legendary Memphis band Big Star. While mainstream success eluded them, Big Star's three albums have become critically lauded touchstones of the rock music canon. A seminal band in the history of alternative music, Big Star has been cited as an influence by artists including R.E.M., the Replacements, Belle & Sebastian, Elliott Smith and the Flaming Lips, to name just a few. With never-before-seen footage and photos of the band, in-depth interviews and a rousing musical tribute by the bands they inspired, BIG STAR: NOTHING CAN HURT ME is a story of artistic and musical salvation.

I find Jay-Z annoying as fuck from a music perspective but he's rather talented on the promotion/production/business side.

JT, on the other hand, I find to be a pop masterpiece. I'm still somewhat peeved I missed his club date back in 2006 (does that sound right? can't remember the specific year.)

Jay-Z and JT Thursday.
Title: Re: This week rollcall

Definitely going more for JT.  Although the Jay-Z interview on fresh air years ago was really interesting and really stuck with me.  AND, he was really nice on Bill Maher last weekend.  None of the celebrities ever recognize the people on the panel when they're pushing their items and he said "It's so weird to sit here and talk with you and pretend everyone else isn't there". 

I think JT is a total entertainer.  Excited for the show!

Yeah there were many people at Beth Orton at Newport Folk Festival.  My wife were able to walk right to the front row of the tent and sit there right before the show started.    I guess she isn't very popular here but my wife likes her.

The last time I saw Beth Orton was in ~2002, and the 9:30 Club was sold out or very nearly so.  I just think her brand of folk/folktronica isn't very "hip" right now, so she's out of favor.  I thought the show last night was good.... but I was surprised that she did 6th & I back when her album came out, and then a significantly larger venue 8+ months later, when all the press had died down.

I'm sure they're more scared of a stabbing at a rap/metal show than at a Justin Timberlake show.

Hunters were a little SY worshippy but did it well enough.
Really?  I didnt get that vibe from what I remember of their set opening up for A Place to Bury Strangers... I never went back and listened to any of their records though, so maybe i should.

Tonight - Maybe Whirr/Nothing
Tomorrow - Definitely Speedy Ortiz/Roomrunner/Hive Bent/Bleeding Rainbow!

After that... Nothing until 8/22 for Technicolor Teeth at CD Cellar (going on vacation for a while).

azag, do you go to all these things because
a, you have no life
How is going out to see bands (and friends), having no life?  Sitting at home every night would be having no life.

i do a lot of things, but i tend to do one of those things in moderation at all times, so they do not get boring and stale, especially concerts.  but that is just me, and yes, i was, just joing around with azag.  i heart him to pieces.

The Killers are an awful live band.  Boring and not very good musically.  Brandon Flowers cannot sing and is a little tiny dude.  Besides that not bad.  Had a good pre-game in the parking lot.  Should have stayed in the parking lot.  Second time I have seen them right up front.   I guess I should give up on them. Last two albums have not been very good. 

I could have told you that before the show and saved you some money!

There aren't that many bars in Bethany Beach.  There's Mangos on the boardwalk.   Sit at the little bar by the door.  The bartender there is so nice!  Bethany is a sleepy little beach town, but I love it there.  We have been staying at Sea Colony since I was a little kid.  So, we just hang in the room, on the beach, and hit up the cheesy games at Rehobeth...

I do not plan on going to any shows this week, since ScapeScape is next weekend.  But here is my tentative schedule for ScapeScape (lots of end of summer activities including a crabbing contest that weekend so i had to scale back what i wanted to see at the festival).

Saturday 4:30 PM till...
Chester Endersby Gwazda, Boister, the Lollipops, Wing Dam, Moss of Aura, Celebration (if I dont leave at 11PM I will also go to J.Ek and Chiffon but that is doubtful).

Sunday (depends on when crabbing is finished) to 1:30 AM
Hopefully (A Guide to Rational Living, Soul Cannon, Television Hill), and definitely Sri Aurobindo, Arbouretum, Mt Royal, Roomrunner, Horse Lords. 

Not bad for $20.

Diarrhea Planet was unbelievable. Great sound, songs, stage show, everything. They played like they were on an arena stage. So good. It's shows like theirs that make all this showgoing worthwhile. Such a good band.

I thought the So Sos were pretty crappy. The band wasn't bad but that singer was such a dickbag with his ridiculously cliche speeches and acting like anyone in the place was there to see him. You're an opening band in a tiny club, don't be lecturing the crowd on not rocking out enough. Be a better band. Weirdly, during DP's set, he was trying to chat me up at the bar with all this (friendly) macho crap and I just could not have cared less.

I saw them as an opening act once (I forget who) and it was one of the worst drunken messes I have ever seen on stage.

Sunday for me is very similar to yours. Only I will see Deaf Scene as well. If you like post-rock instrumental stuff you should check them out. I will also try to see Whoarfrost. I love seeing Arbouretum and look forward to finally seeing Sri Aurobindo, Roomrunner and Horse Lords live.

Well, the new NIN has to probably be one of the best things I've seen all year. Flawless integration of light, sound, and concept. Trent's back with an absolute vengeance and it's the best I've ever seen him, and I think I've seen every tour from the last 15 years.

Queens of the Stone Age were really good, and yet...there was something missing. There were great moments & I love the new material, but maybe their new drummer is a little too heavy-handed & needs fluidity to his playing. But I'm glad I got to see them on this tour. I just wish they'd quit performing "Burn the Witch". It's just not a good song.

I didn't see Horse Lords either. The Crown reached capacity and there were at least 40 people in front of me in line. I know they will be around again when I can see them. I saw plenty of great music. Deaf Scene, Television Hill, The Expanding Man, Sri Aurobindo (way too short of a set!), Whoarfrost, Arbouretum, Guardian Alien (also saw their drummer do a drum solo set), Mt. Royal and Roomrunner. Great day of music for 10 bucks.

Merzbow?s Schedule for Hopscotch 2013
Japanese noise legend Merzbow arrives in Raleigh Wednesday afternoon to begin his preparations as the 2013 Hopscotch Music Festival Improviser in Residence. For the last several months, we?ve considered most every band playing the festival as a possible collaborator for Merzbow, himself a creatively restless musician who has recorded and performed with a wide array of talents. Working closely with Merzbow, we?ve settled on the below schedule for his time in Raleigh.

Thursday, Sept. 5
Merzbow (solo), Kings, 11:30 p.m.
Merzbow with Wolf Eyes, Kings, following Wolf Eyes? set at 12:30 a.m.

Friday, Sept. 6
Merzbow and Super Special Secret Friends, Kings, 8 p.m. (More details will be announced on the day of the show.)
Merzbow with Pere Ubu, Kings, following Pere Ubu?s set at 12:30 a.m.

Saturday, Sept. 7
Merzbow with Evoken, Lincoln Theatre, 11:30 p.m.
I will be at least 3 of these (Wolf Eyes, Pere Ubu, and Evoken and MIGHT do the Super Secret Friends one as well...).

Japanese noise legend Merzbow arrives in Raleigh Wednesday afternoon to begin his preparations as the 2013 Hopscotch Music Festival Improviser in Residence. For the last several months, we?ve considered most every band playing the festival as a possible collaborator for Merzbow, himself a creatively restless musician who has recorded and performed with a wide array of talents. Working closely with Merzbow, we?ve settled on the below schedule for his time in Raleigh.

Thursday, Sept. 5
Merzbow (solo), Kings, 11:30 p.m.
Merzbow with Wolf Eyes, Kings, following Wolf Eyes? set at 12:30 a.m.

Friday, Sept. 6
Merzbow and Super Special Secret Friends, Kings, 8 p.m. (More details will be announced on the day of the show.)
Merzbow with Pere Ubu, Kings, following Pere Ubu?s set at 12:30 a.m.

Saturday, Sept. 7
Merzbow with Evoken, Lincoln Theatre, 11:30 p.m.
I will be at least 3 of these (Wolf Eyes, Pere Ubu, and Evoken and MIGHT do the Super Secret Friends one as well...).

thanks. I had a feeling it was a he and not a them, but wasnt entirely sure. thanks for the link - ill check them out. glad to hear its a good pairing. they usually have great people with them -- well ive only really seen them in nyc and they tended to be there a lot with all sorts of bands. i think it was with versus the first time i saw them and that was awesome! maybe off! the second time, but cant remember for sure.

oh and listening to him now! really loving the music and a perfect opener for Superchunk!

Mikal is a he not a them (though he will have other people with him for his band).  Its cool indie pop rock or whatever you want to call that stuff.  Enjoy, I really dig his music!

My first show ever in Washington this Sunday (Spiritualized)!

About driving there from Baltimore (and arriving at show time 7:30),
how much time one should add in order to find parking and deal with
traffic (in addition to the 45 minutes Google-map time). I guess this
might be smooth on a Sunday, but how about weekdays? Any special
tricks?

Worst case scenario, pay to park... might save you a bit a stress if you've never driven into DC/around the club.

However, you should have no issue finding a place to park within a few block radius.

Also, be aware that Spiritualized prob. won't come on until 9pm or later, so you'll have more than enough time unless you're trying to catch the opener.

Does anyone know what the service charge is for tickets at the Ust music hall if you buy them at the door/box office ahee
I went to get The Fratellis tix and they were reasonably priced at $16, but I had to add another 13.50 in order processing and service fee

Tonight will be my first Spiritualized show.  :)

It is interesting how, considering their last few years' of set lists in general, Jason Pierce does not give a shit many people claim to regard Amazing Grace as mediocre, his creative nadir, etc.  Which is fine by me because I enjoy it a lot myself, particularly "Lord Let It Rain on Me" and "Rated X."

at this juncture X/Blondie, Deadman/Tommy Keene
btw, how long do you think the sets will be? Still an 8/815 then 9 start/stop?
I'm hoping to get home semi early and Blondie's sets seem to be about 20 songs but X might be about 24. (sorry I know I'm lame just long days and commute and early starts for me lately)

Hopscotch was the best festival i have attended.  I will write up my thoughts on it later.

as for Spiritualized, Vas really enjoyed the 100 minute set.  Az and myself skipped it to do other things (I am not a fan, dont really know their music, and he was going to the show tonight anyways).

I would guess if Jaguar would read this she would be mightily surprised i didnt see them,... I did see around 25 other artists though.

Very close to tonight although "Take Good Care of It," "Lay it Down" and maybe one more were in there.

Played almost exactly two hours.

And yes Hopscotch is the best fest ever.


It is the festival for people who hate festivals.

I totally don't feel like I just got back from a festival and two post-festival shows (also made it to Cigarette/Soft Spot at Paper Sun as well as Spiritualized Sunday) right now.

I loved, loved (x10) the Spiritualized show last night.  They are a top-ten band for me, and this was my first time seeing Pierce and his band live, and it completely met and shot beyond my expectations.

Maybe the best show I have attended at the 9:30 Club.

Probably - Hampdenfest to see Celebration, Raindeer, and Roomrunner on Saturday.  I plan on bringing my girlfriend's teenage brother to it (it will be his first ever show).
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: showlistdc on September 09, 2013, 02:19:20 pm
nah, sorry, just took the two-- to be honest, I thought the show was good except for the two backup singers, who were routinely off-key and/or not blending at all with Jason Pierce.  Granted, he's not the easiest person to harmonize with, but their vocals were so grating to me that it had a negative impact on my enjoyment of the show.  I thought the songs they did without those two were the best parts of the set (and notably, my two videos deliberately did not feature the backup singers).

Ill say hi if you are at Youngs!  It should be fairly early (8 pm doors, only two artists. Also both will probably play relatively short sets).

Edit: Oh the 930 show is fairly early too... You probably can make Savages then to Young while skipping Terrence's set.  I am mainly going for Terrence.

Usually autumn is jam-packed with absolutely tons of shows that I'm dying to see...but it seems like there's a bunch of bands skipping DC this year. Was hoping My Bloody Valentine wouldn't be one of those bands too, but you can add them to the Arctic Monkeys, Peter Hook, The Stooges, etc.

Can't believe that was the first time I've seen X. I swear, I've had tickets for their last three or four DC-area shows, and missed every single one.  Good stuff...those guys are the real deal.

Blondie was pretty blah after, I thought...but that's a tough act to follow.

I'm not too sorry I left for Blondie then. I saw them in 1997 and I'm glad I checked that box, but after X I just wanted to eat some dinner. I enjoyed X tremendously and thought that after the first few songs they really put on what was one of my favorite shows I've seen them do. Great setlist. Nice choice of tunes from "Under the Big Black Sun", which is the LP I go back to the most.

Not even the very very very drunk bros next to us complaining that they weren't playing songs they liked could ruin that show.  I had never seen them before and loved the new songs and old.

Went to the Tommy Keene show last night and I swear the man has not aged one bit.  His band was on fire and he played songs from his entire career including a couple from his new covers album.  Him doing Echo and the Bunnymen's "The Puppet" was an interesting juxtaposition.   Gonna be listening to his new cover album today where also does  Television, Big Star, Roxy Music, Bee Gees, etc.

And the September/October concert onslaught begins...
(and it would have begun last week but I've been on a much needed holiday for the last several days. Anyone go to Per Ubu or Rosebuds last week?)

Wed-Alt J at 930 (have an extra if anyone needs one)
Thur-Pet Shop Boys at Strathmore
Fri-Travis at Lincoln

And I had tickets for Stereophonics for Sunday but gave them to my coworker as I'll be out of town.

man these old dudes :o rocked the house (Soundstage is not that bad of a venue either)
Was so glad to be transported to my misspent youth of heavy intoxication and listening to black flag on my headphones.  Nervous Breakdown, Six Pack, Wasted, I Don't Care, Gimme, Gimmie Gimmie and Rise Above.
Never thought I'd get to hear them live

Milo Aukerman also showed up to sing Damaged as the show closer!

Keith mentioned a few times after the show they would need to sign some legal documents after the show and that everyone in the audience was NOT seeing Black Flag, but FLAG

I still would have loved to see Rollins do these songs (and possibly Ginn), but Keith and Dez sure kicked out the jams
TSOL sounded great too

If you didn't have any you could do more things you want to do.   Why are the those loners always going on killing sprees?  They can do whatever they want they should be happy.

Not the most attractive band so I guess it makes sense that they have more male fans than female fans.  But the bass player does look like the kid from Christmas Story grown up.

probably because anybody who does not go to a concert because it is twenty five whole dollars, is either very poor, and how do you have enough money to be on the fucking internet thing . . . or doesnt think musicians should make any money off of anything and everything should be free or pay what you fucking want. 

or even worse . . . they think they know everything about music, and it is them who gets to judge, what the artist should be charging based on their lone and only opinion about the matter.

all I'm saying is the show is obviously not "expensive"; more like you are "cheap"

don't take it as an insult just think about it...

there's what? 4 or 5 guys in the band? they tour every few years? they certainly don't make much money selling records given how everyone is into streaming, right? they're coming from clear across the country.. how much do you expect grown men to tour for? $25 is really reasonable... now if you can't swing it or don't want to that is your prerogative of course.... but "expensive"??? come on now!

That isnt the ONLY reason i am not going.  I have other plans.

I was simply making a statement that i thought it would be less.  I am NOT skipping them because of the price.

I thought it would be $20 or less. 

The price is NOT the reason i am not going.  I am not cheap and i would wager i probably spend more money on music than most of the people on here. 

So why call me stupid?  Or cheap?

Why argue about what you think is a fair price?  Killsally goes to a lot more shows than you.  He might go to 4 shows in one week you go to 1 show a month.  Everyone's expenses are different and price that they think is fair to pay for any item.  I like U2 but I would never pay the prices they want for me to see them.  Others do.

This job consumes a lot of time, and it's been four years since the last Mudhoney album (The Lucky Ones). It takes longer now to create albums because everybody has other responsibilities. Bassist Guy Maddison, for example, is a stat nurse at Harborview, and guitarist Steve Turner lives in Portland, where he deals records, so Mudhoney don't practice much.

get over yourself.. nobody had any issue with what you said! people obviously can pay whatever they choose to ...again its the semantics... the point is if you don't pay 25 because you choose not to because its too high for you its great..to each their own......who gives a shit?.... if you say its "expensive" then its different.... because its not expensive

I went to soft fest a.few years back and it was like 6 bucks for 12 bands and you could bring your own beer.  Everything is relative.  I don't.think you tell people what is expensive to them.  You don't know about anyone financial situation.  I am fortunate to have a well paying job and don't pay a mortgage and have no kids.  And sometimes a club show for 25 bucks seems high to me if I bought a bunch of show tickets recently.

I guess everyone will be safe at the 930 Club, as the only two less than $20 shows on the schedule are both more than $15. 

But stay away from the Metro Gallery in Baltimore, as they only have ONE show on their calendar that is more than $15; the $18 bill of  SAINT VITUS + PALLBEARER + HOOKERS + IRON MAN.


(by the way, this post was meant to be tongue in cheek.  I realize ANY venue in the DC/Baltimore area (and the venues' surrounding neighborhoods) can be dangerous.  I also realize why venues charge different prices.  And I also understand why different bands charge different prices.)

Since my plans for today were postponed, I am going to choose something else to go to this week. 
Today - Le1f and Antwon at U St (unlikely as I will be at a work event at Nationals Stadium until after it starts)
Thurs - Maybe the DCheavymetal show
Friday - Maybe Janel and Anthony at the American Art Museum (it is near where I work and starts around the time I would be getting off, so this is pretty likely)
Friday - Maybe Golden West Fest, with Mickey Free, Jones, Real2Real, Shy Violet, and DJ Omega 3s.

hey killsaly . . . i did not mean it as an attack on you.  you know, lets get off subject for a second, and discuss your name, this killsaly . . . who is saly and why do you want to kill her?  im sure im missing the true meaning, but i like mine, as well.  kill saly.
OK.  Here is the story of my moniker.

First off, I do not advocate violence against ANYONE, and especially not women. That being said, this name is one I have been using as my internet handle (and email and video games and message boards and whatever else) since 1996.  But what does it mean, and where does it come from? 

Well, it all came from a misunderstanding.  My cousin Micah used to have a stepfather, aka Steamboat Willy (that wasn?t his name but he was a captain on a barge on the Mississippi River).  He was extremely old to be Micah?s stepfather (Willy was about 30 years older than Micah?s mom) and was very much out of touch.

The 90?s, as I am sure a lot of you remember, was the time of MTV, magazines, and band fan clubs.  One such fan club was the one for Alice in Chains.  The Alice in Chains fan club used to do things like mail out postcards to the members for Christmas.  One Christmas Micah?s Christmas card was intercepted by Steamboat Willy. 

?You got something in the mail Micah,? Steamboat Willy said with a sneer, ?Something from Kill Sally or some shit.?

Micah took his postcard and stored this nugget in the back of his mind, until the next time we saw each other (which wasn?t too far in the future, we were best friends and thick as thieves at that point).   He recalled the story to me and we both had a good laugh. 

During this time I happened to be in my first band, and we were in the midst of picking a name.  I suggested the name, but the other members liked other names.  So I decided to use it as my internet name (Hackers was a big movie around that time and having a unique internet handle seemed like a good idea).  But I wanted something completely unique.  I decided to go with it as one word, all lowercase, and with only one L in Saly (the four L?s of Kill Sally were too much).  So Kill Sally became killsaly. 

I kept using it for everything.  Internet boards, email, and anything that needed a username all had killsaly as my username.  It was in 2004 that I started making electronic music by myself.  And I needed a name.  At that point I decided on two separate names; first, killsaly for the darker music (drum and bass mostly) and second, JJ Dynomite (based on a nickname I had received in the military) for happier music like house.  That lasted for a year or so, until I decided I should focus on one name, so JJ Dynomite went away, and only killsaly was left. 

Fast forward to now.  I still use it for my solo electronic music, but not for the darker music (my witch house stuff is released as Hexenjagd, or witch hunt in German, and I also have a few groups and projects in the pipeline as Campaign Trail 72, Surgeon Mary, Cassius Claymore, and Black Cat Hit Squad) and for remixes (http://killsaly.bandcamp.com/album/classics has a few of the tunes I have made over the years on it). I still use it for message boards and all that.  Basically if you google killsaly, you find me.  BUT, someone in Japan now uses it as well (http://www.killsaly.com/ ) after I let my registration of that site lapse (not thinking ANYONE would want to use it).  I have contacted this person to ask them WHY, but didn?t receive and answer.  And I let it slide, because who cares?

Anyways, that is the origin of the word.  If people ask me about it, I either give them the Steamboat Willy spiel, or just tell them it?s a modification of the Northern Irish word Kilsally (L?s are in a different order) http://www.collinsmaps.com/maps/United-Kingdom/Northern-Ireland/Cookstown/Kilsally/P1110773.00.aspx though i didnt know this place existed until many years later.

Guess I should have checked the Hamilton FAQ first:

I am going to a GA show, when should I arrive to get a good seat?

Unless otherwise noted on the website, the following are is the schedule for The Hamilton Live:

Sunday through Thursday - Doors open at 6:30pm, show starts at 7:30pm

Friday & Saturday - Doors open at 7:00pm, who starts at 8:30pm.

We suggest arriving early to secure your choice of seating. In fairness to all guests, you may only reserve one seat for every guest you have present.

I'll be at Empire for the Katatonia show tonight. I'm more excited about the opening bands Cult of Luna and Intronaut though!

See you there-- and yeah, I'm way more stoked for Cult of Luna than anybody else on the bill!

Cult of Luna were stunning. So heavy! The light show was excellent too. I was glad to see Intronaut again as well, I hadn't seen them since 2009. Katatonia was not really my thing and I left after 3 songs. I think I will be at the Wavves show on Saturday but am really there to see King Tuff n' Jacuzzi Boys. Maybe I'll leave early again haha.

Anyone else making the trip up to Ottobar to see Junip on 10/9?
Got the ol' "get your tickets now" message earlier today- hoping its a good show.
Never seen before, but did see Jose at Sixth & I way back....cannot wait!

They were pretty good at 930 Club earlier this year. I imagine a smaller venue like the Ottobar would be ideal for them.

There are only 100 tickets for tomorrow's Dan Deacon show at the Crown.  If anyone wants to go, you have to get one from the Crown today, or you will be out of luck. THis is going to be a treat!  New Dan Deacon material! From a future album! Never played live!

Am I reading that right? You can buy an advance ticket, but if you get there after 10pm you either have to pay AGAIN, providing there's room for you to even enter?

Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: killsaly on October 02, 2013, 05:35:09 pm
Yes, you must be there before 10 PM if you want to use the ticket that cost you $7. I do not think there will be any tickets left after today.  At 10 pm they will start letting people from the outside line into the venue, until they are at capacity.  I plan on getting there around 9:45 PM so I dont need to worry.   I doubt many people in the line get in.

The ticket is also signed on the back, so people cant make duplicates for their friends. I am glad they are doing tickets, it very well could have been ticketless.

He wears glasses because he cant see.  He uses flashing lights because he is a musician who plays fun music and the lights are a nice compliment to it.  He gets sweaty because he is a bit overweight.

Did anyone see Boy tonight? They are just incredible. Of course all the songs were played impeccably and lovingly. Even the songs about pwning guys, the guitar work is so good you just can't resist.

I'd say their top five songs are:

1. Drive Darling
2. Army
3. This is the Beginning
3. Little Numbers
4. Skin

Thanks for the heads up about this I was going to go to Fells Point on Sunday but now I will make other plans.  I used to like the Festival when you could drink anywhere you wanted.  Then they came up with the fenced in areas and I stopped going.  Way to ruin an event.

I generally like when they make tickets non-transferable because it makes it harder to scalp, but it means my Neutral Milk Hotel Ticket is going to waste.  Terrible timing for a work trip to pop up.

Actually quite doable probably.  I hadn't really thought about it.  I'm going to see if they will transfer it, or maybe just reissue to someone else of their choosing.  Mostly just bummed I'm not going to get to go.

Weird.  Lincoln Theater didn't even look at the name on my ticket (which I got on Stubhub for 30 bucks).   I guess the communists running 2640 space care about these things more.

Anyone has an extra spot (1 person) for NMH in Baltimore? Or the names are already on all tickets and not just the person who bought the tickets?

I tried to get tickets, but I when I got to the checkout page, I learned that MissionTix does not sell to non-US addresses. Now that I am working a few meters from the venue, I am still upset that I can't go (but yes, I have a ticket for the Washington show).

Maybe if you explain that you are a communist like them they will let you into the show.

I was going to do my usual bring flask into 2640 space and buy a coke and then poor liquor into coke.  But it says on their site they will kick you out if you bring alcohol in.   I don't want to kicked out of the show.  Hmm oh the choices we have to make in life.

From Sacred Bones:
Quote
WASHINGTON, D.C.: We regret to announce that the GOP shutdown of the federal government has forced the cancellation of the ZOLA JESUS show at the Hirshhorn Museum on 10/25. The Hirshhorn's statement below:

"Due to the government shutdown, The Hirshhorn Museum will be unable to proceed with the October 25th After Hours as planned. If you purchased a ticket you will receive an email with details on how to claim a full refund. If you do not receive an email from the Smithsonian, please call 866-868-7774"
If I can recognize you from your twitter picture i will say hi on Saturday Haggis (I plan on being there from Peach Kelli Pop to Weekend)!

That is weird it is still shutdown... That show isnt even until the 25th.

Hey all, appreciate the sentiment. We are as disappointed as you. We will be moving the show....to next year. The Hirshhorn is a sacred space and was chosen deliberately for this performance due to the sound logistics and delicacy of Nika w/ string quartet and conductor. To do it in any other space would be an artistic compromise we do not wish to make. We will do it next year, we promise! Come to CHGO or Asheville on 10/24-26?

Yeah FF was great last night, definitely not a band content with just reproducing their studio recordings live.  Also, interesting to note based on their older setlists they even mix up the order of their song from night to night.  Always nice to get a career spanning setlist as well.

For me the highlight was again the extended version of "This Fire", really way into the "dub reggae" breakdowns in that 7 or so minute performance.

Also for some reason they way Alex broke out of the "I Feel Love" bit of "Can't Stop Feeling" was spine tingling.  Really can't go wrong with a solid hard driving rhythm section and jarring guitars.  And of course they do the slow/fast so very well.

Liked what I heard of the opener Frankie Rose, heard touches of Lush, Primitives and Cocteau Twins.  Almost a perfect opener for FF.

I couldn't help but think during FF's brief version of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love", of the Bronski Beat/Marc Almond take on it was what sprang to mind.  Which I've seen referred to as "two cats in heat"....

Better than DAR that's for sure, ideally they would work best at a 2nd festival stage.  So too big for 930, possibly at Patriot center with a GA floor.  But you can't ask for better sight lines or sound then at Strathmore
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: eros on October 18, 2013, 11:45:07 am
This was my first time at the Strathmore and I was blown away by how nice it was.  A beautiful room with near perfect sound.  No drinks at your seats is kind of a drag, but I guess I understand why they do it there.  One odd thing - did anyone notice the burning smell for a good part of the show?  It smelled like something had gone terribly wrong in the kitchen.

FF was spot on.  Very very tight musically.  Kind of a strange move to not play your comeback single on a tour like this (I like that song!).  I hope IMP can book more shows like this there in the future (kicking myself for missing Sigur Ros there way back when).

the first encore song was supposed to be a new song .. right words or the strawberries song i think (i'll chec k my setlist later) but evidently they called an audible and gave us jacqueline... i'm guessing becuase when they played one of the new songs earlier nobody knew it..

I did get the feeling they changed it, but that it was due to all the family members they acknowledged in the audience.  Ah well.  Still enjoyed it.

I can tell you about GYBE, but I left after that :o I must say that this live version of Behemoth in DC, with the drums in the arena, is probably the best I've seen, even if that's not my favourite song. The crowd was also nice for GYBE. Only traffic and ticket box office was a bad experience.

So apparently GYBE played the same set in Philadelphia and Charlottesville, so it's good that I only went to one of them (+DC opening act).

Uh, no, they played over an hour and a half in Charlottesville.  In addition to "Behemoth" and the "Hope Drone" they played at Verizon Center, they also played "Mladic", "Gathering Storm", and "Moya".  Much longer set than the NIN opening set.

Pearl Jam solid as always last night, first time ever playing in Baltimore, an almost three hour show.  Eddie was very energetic through and the band ripped through some of their  "punkier" numbers i.e. "Spin The Black Circle".  Straight ahead rock and roll doesn't get much better than Pearl Jam live. 

One interesting note is that fans in the GA pit were very respective of others personal space, half expected the beginning of the show crush to cause me to leave my spot, which was about 5 rows back from the stage.  But, was able to stay put for the entire show.  No barging for the front, etc taking place.  Except for a couple people even the picture taking was kept to a minimum...

I've said it before but this really is a dead band walking... their last few albums have been horrible... trey needs to get back to the hard drugs or something...maybe gordon needs some underage chicks.. i don't know what happened to these guys...trey's last solo album.. the one with the green cover is HORRIBLE.

its been commented on many boards/forums just how easy it has become to get a ticket to see phish... even a place like hampton..

there is no magic with this band left...

This is probably not the proper forum to discuss this since I'm guessing 99% of the posters here despise Phish without ever actually listening to them, seeing them, etc... but has Phish EVER had a good album? Or something that critics thought was good?

I thought it was a giant fuck you to all of the haters and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you do follow the band, people have been complaining about no new material, similar set lists nightly, and too much predictability. Well, last night they did something NO ONE was expecting. Played an entire album of material no one has ever heard. I think that's a lot more exciting than a set of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Excitable Boy, etc. By the way, basically this entire tour sold out other than Hampton... tickets for every night this weekend are astronomically priced and last night's tickets were over $250 to get in the door.

Anyway, you seem to know a bit about the band, read the Play Bill from last night. It's pretty refreshing and nice to hear that after 30 years a band doesn't despise each other and come together to make quality music (obviously, a subjective opinion).

Billy Breathes, I think, got good reviews when it came out.. and that was their last good album.... a very good album.. on some days a great album

I really like the TAB album too.. the one with all the horns..

somebody wrote it on a board: if you go out on haloween dressed up as yourself its pretty lame


this was a very very bad move for Phish I think...we know they can't write songs anymore..now they can't even cover other people on halloween? what is left??

Ok... well, Billy Breathes came out in 1996, so this conversation can probably just end. If you haven't liked anything Phish has done in roughly 18 years, I'm not sure why you're concerned about what they're playing on Halloween.

cause i like the cover albums which they do on halloween, right?

waiting for columbus..man that was cool

i can't help it they can't write songs anymore dude but if you enjoy them great

but when you really like a band for a while.. mid to late 90s... and then they really suck.. well you just keep hoping they won't suck......its a pretty normal response..

but yeah i ain't buying their new one and i'm not going to see them again.. i tried one of their MPP shows a few years ago and it sucked..

unfortunately i think some phish fans are just in denial...

Denial of what? Are they the same band they were 20 years ago? No. Are you the same person you were 20 years ago? I hope not.

Anyway, I'll refer to my previous post. If you haven't liked a band for over a decade, you probably won't like them again.

I'm with Hutch.  Billy Breathes was their last good studio album.  I went to see them for the last time in 2000.  I just knew they were done and I was done with them.  I always like to see what they cover for Halloween though because they're still good at that.  I bought Farmhouse and listened to it one time.  It was terrible.

I'm glad they still get along and it's nice knowing there are still people out there dancing around, but they are not innovators.

But, I've also been done with the band for a while.

The one thing that doesn't add up is you guys keep saying, "they're done, they're not innovating, etc." How were they "done" in 2000 yet it's 2013 and they're still going strong? Well, they still sell out arenas yearly and continue to get new newb phans.

With bands like Phish (not that there are many), you always have folks that think they're over, they don't like their new style, etc... This happened in the early 90's when they started playing arenas in 95' or so, then when their style changed in 97' to more of funk/darker jams, then the crazy drug scene of the late 90's/00. It changes, yet they still keep chuggin' along, changing each year. Assuming these guys all stay healthy, we'll probably be having this same conversation in 10 years.

Anyhoo, good day all, I'm off to see Phish.  :o :o :o

How was the show last night showlist?  I wasnt able to make it out (or you would have seen me)... By the time I was even ready to think about going anywhere, it was already 10:30, and I was worried I would miss Inter Arma.

You definitely would've missed Inter Arma, since they went on around 10:10-10:15.  Apparently Bastard Sapling dropped off due to a health issue (obviously, the guy who's not in Inter Arma).

Kevin Shields on where to stand at a show: "Honestly, just in front of the sound guy I guess. (Laughs.) It just depends on the venue, really. A lot of venues the desk is in the back, and the "sweet
spot" is about ten feet in front of that. So... in the middle?"

I was in the balcony at Roseland and in front at The National. Wouldn't mind having a third perspective.

Not as loud as the last couple tours which was kind of nice. Easier to hear what individual members of the band were doing. That included vocals. They had a few tech problems which resulted in a few false starts and a shortened "You Made Me Realise." Kevin was clearly pissed. Guitar techs probably cried themselves to sleep.

[I can't believe it's not sold out either. 

Things just aren't as popular anymore.  MBV hadn't played Philly in 22 years and they barely sold out the Electric Factory. Apparently some of those Pixies shows have sold out (but without Kim Deal, Lord know why...) but not in Philly.  Fred Armisten had to move his show from the Factory to Underground Arts because of slow ticket sales. And with Portlandia, he's like the comedic Lou Reed of the 21st century.  Even the new Arcade Fire album has landed with a resounding thud.  Whilst blatantly trying to be the next U2 has always been unseemly, I bet Win Butler never thought it would be this unprofitable.

Being artsy and playing Verizon doesn't sound like he is not meeting his profit goals.  Who would go to see the Pixies without Kim Deal?  They only have one song from the last 20 years and Kim Deal sang it. And they have done tons of shows over the  past few years.

well, I think that's the way the entire tour is billed, especially since he's playing all Soul Coughing material tonight.

I'm short, wear glasses, and I'll either be wearing a ShowlistDC hoodie or a Maryland DeathFest hoodie.

this is true... Doughty has "come to terms" with people wanting to hear Soul Coughing tunes. Supposedly writing "book of drugs" was therapeutic enough for him to realize that.

He was billing the tour that way.  Not the 930.

Got to see Soul Coughing a bunch of times.  Loved them.  Saw him at Fletchers when he was still playing them too.  Hope the show was fun!

A couple maybes...
Multicult/Psychic Teens/A Guide to Rational Living/Seaton XOXO at the Crown tonight
Danny Brown on Sunday
I ended up skipping these two to go to Mazzy Star/Psychic Ills for free (thank goodness it was free, Psychic Ills were great but I was not impressed with Mazzy Star and left 30 minutes into their set).

Only one this week: Animal Collective on Sunday!!! I finally get to see them this year (I was one of the ones with a ticket to the first of the three summer 930 shows, the one that the club lost power at before they could play and we all got refunds).

He is just not a fan and The Fillmore gave Joe a shitton of extra tickets.


Os Mutantes were a lot of fun. It sounded like the current band had been constant for a while. They were tighter than I imagined they would be. Faithfully played everything I was hoping to hear and the new stuff was decent although I'm not rushing out to get the new record. They could've done with a little less jamming; 90 minute set could've easily been paired down to 70 but that's a minor gripe. I'd catch Capsula again if I were to have the chance. Killer Argentinian space rock that very easily won over the crowd.

What was wrong with it...  Nothing really, I just didnt like it.  I thought it was incredibly boring and I even commented to showlist during the first song that I didnt think I could take more than 30 minutes of it (I think I was there for 40).  It was fine, but it just didnt appeal to me.  I am sure a lot of people had the opposite opinion; Joe and Emmanuel both thought it was amazing.  Joe told me I would have liked the end, when they cranked it up a bit,  but it was too little, too late at that point - as I was already at my house by that time. 

(and as Az said, I am not a fan, and that set did nothing to turn me into a fan)

It was very full.  It would've sold out 9:30.  I think Lincoln or Strathmore would've been a better venue-- their sparse/dark setup with projections really calls for a seated venue-- but the Fillmore was certainly the right size venue for them.  Lots of people talking throughout the set, though.

I was at the Mazzy Star show; had never seen them before, or really even heard much...

But I really enjoyed the show, and was very happy to have attended.

One funny thing...I was upstairs (stage Right) standing next to the VIP seated areas. There are video monitors there. 2 out of the 3 monitors that I could see went into standby screensaver mode during Mazzy's set; My guess is that the image coming from the video feed was so dark and unchanging that the software detected that there was no signal? Is that possible?

Hardly any talking from where I was standing (about 15 feet away center). I can imagine lots of talking in the back?  I was quite afraid of a walk out but overall, great respectable audience.  She did make a hand gesture in the middle of the set to someone who was taking a picture with flash...

I was too young to see them in 96 and I'm glad I finally got to see them.
Great setlist, too...Halah and Blue Flower were my favorites.
Audio recording coming soon...Emmanuel recorded the whole set.

Yes, in the middle the crowd was quiet, more than I expected for this type of venue.

I was not too familiar with Mazzy Star, but I liked the show and the type of music. Can't say I really have favorite songs in the set. I like Low very much as well, although I think they are rather different except for the slow aspect. What I want to see is a Bedhead reunion :)

Still a bit sad I missed Os Mutantes, but I am pretty sure I heard before all the older tracks that they probably played this time.

No shows this week, in fact until Goblin and Dinosaur Jr. in December.

If this is because I called Wrestlemania lame, he can bite it. Everyone on here who's met me will tell you I would've mocked wrestling openly had I been speaking to him in person. No "screen names" involved.

"Too middle school" is dramatically leaving a community you, ostensibly, derived some benefit from because someone said they didn't like your recreational choices. Get real.

Missed ExHex...but man was that a killer hives show.

My first and they really put on a fantastic show.  The lead singer actually talked and interacted with audience for the entire show.  Some bands don't even say hello or you get one little rant while the band swaps gear.
 The whole band and the audience had a rockin time from start to finish.  The Ninja stagehands were classic too. The calorie count on that show very high.

I did think the ticket price was a little steep when I bought it ($86 for 2 tickets...damn fees!)...but in the show was worth every penny.
I will definitely see these guys again.

Ok, should've checked. Anyway I'm new to this thing at 9:30 but I hope it's not like some other venues where I've been and the band says "well sorry we can't play our encore, there is a dance night like right now". Rather disappointing when you drive X hours to see your favourite band.

Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: Hexenjagd on January 14, 2014, 12:30:01 pm
There are drag shows all the time in DC and Baltimore.  Not all of them feature people from RuPaul's Drag Race, but sometimes they do shows in the area (I skipped going to see Jinx and others last year).  Now if you meant that it is rare for that show to be at 930 Club, I do agree with that.  But just being a rare thing in this area, not really.

Post by: Hexenjagd on January 14, 2014, 12:55:04 pm
I don't get your logic. Sold out is sold out.  Last year's trio of Animal Collective shows sold out extremely fast.  However, the December Animal Collective show took months to sell out.  The end result?  All shows were sold out and money was made.  You don't think the fact that this sold out will cause Seth to book Drag Race again?

Saw Broncho at the Black Cat last night. I could definitely hear some Replacements and some Wire in their stuff. They still sound a lot like a garage rock band, but they're more polished than I thought they'd be. Pretty odd style and way too tight jeans, but they own it. I'd say they're my favorite new band, if they come back through town again they're definitely worth seeing.

I ended up skipping the Post Typography and Ilsa shows this week.  I am thinking about hitting up Atlas Sunday to catch Oneohtrix Point Never. 

The end of the next week is pretty busy for me.
Thursday - the Gene Clark show over at Floristree
Friday - Pixies at Electric Factory
Saturday  - Weekends/Small Apartments/Wing Dam/Goblin Mold at the Ottobar

Edit (damn i already skipped two of these... OPN and the Gene Clark one)

The other two I am definitely doing... Pixies in like 8 hours!

Pixies kicked ass in Philly Friday.  I didnt want to go to the DC show because the venue didnt seem very rock and roll (it would have been nice to have a chair to put my coat on).

See you at NMH and at Sebadoh. 

My week:
Weds - Cults/Wildhoney/"guest" (I think it is supposed to be Dead Mellotron!) at the Ottobar
Fri - Neutral Milk Hotel/Elf Power at DAR
Sat - Mt Royal/Raindeer at Ottobar (that is only if my non-music related plans do not happen, but they probably will so I guess I will have to skip it...)

I am going to assume that the snow will cancel the Chester Endersby Gwazda show I was going to tomorrow, and possibly the Club K hip hop show for later that night.  Looks like I will probably not go out again until at least Sunday.

If the snow does not ruin everything I will be at the DC9 for Dead Meadow/Apes Friday and Fantasy Panther at Sidebar Tavern Saturday. I'm also considering the Graveface Roadshow Sunday. I love Tobacco and BMSR but have not seen any of the other bands on his label. I have seen Creepoid though.

Sorry just saw this.  It was funny a lot.  But I think I liked the songs over the whole plot of the thing.  I listened to the original broadway cast recording and I would say I think the touring cast sang the songs better except for the leading female role which I think the original cast sounded better.

that is a tough one cause it took a while to sell out

my theory is that when it takes a while its cause its not resellers but real fans..

just buy a tcket on stubhub...only 26.90 right now..should go down

i foolishly sold my Dplan tix for tomorrow because I was very confident Michigan would make the final four tomorrow. I am killed by my own hubris.

Did it take awhile? I thought it sold out very quickly but I may have just been late to the party. But as soon as I saw that they were playing, I went to the BC site and BAM, denied. Good advice though, I have got to see them. Saw them on the 'Scream Dracula Scream' show at the old BC and it was insanity. The singer beat the crap out of some stage diver, though 20 years have passed and I may have blown that anecdote out a bit.

I ranked DJ Dog Dick's 2013 album among my favorites for that year.  The just a maybe statement is because of how many shows that week I already bought tickets for (everything else other than Good Throb).

As for Keller, I listen to all kinds of music, but in this case it is what my girlfriend wanted to do.  I listen to classic rock, jam bands, noise, rap, grunge, industrial, etc old and new.

Itzhak Perlman - Saturday Night.

WHAT?? Is the pregnant wife allowed out of her bedroom???

Went to the Orioles game on Sunday as well. I don't understand your comment. I never said my wife didn't go to places during pregnancy. I just don't want to go to Sweetlife festival where people are bound to be running into people constantly and people will most likely be smoking everywhere.  Which I dont' understand as Howard County law prohibits smoking in public and MPP seems to not care about it.

Anyway Itzhak only played the first quarter of the show at the BSO.  The rest of the show he conducted.  His playing sound great.  The second half was incredibly boring music by some composer I never heard of before.  I guess he is old and had Polio so maybe he isn't up to playing longer.

Well you have made statements like the one I am about to quote, which made it seem like ALL shows were on hold for you (you didnt specify Sweetlife vs anything in that statement).  But I suppose a BSO show is an exception. Plus that was a month ago, so maybe you got bored with staying in.  Also not bringing up anything in reference to your wife, just your own words about going out to shows (which does reference your wife as a reason to not go out, but not because of her being bedridden).
I am not really interested in seeing bands right now as my wife is pregnant and can't drink and is grumpy so shows don't sound like much fun at the moment.

What is a hard time keeping straight. I didn't say my wife didn't go out.  I said I wasn't going two specific shows.  I have not been to any rock shows since I made that statement.  I am considering seeing Ringo Starr at Wolftrap.  How are crowds at Wolf Trap?  Will people be smoking?  BSO for classical music <> MPP festival.  My wife works.  She isn't hidding in the bedroom I don't know where that came from.

Maybe you using your wife as an excuse to not go out to those shows, and then not mentioning anything else, made people on here think you were on a show break because of your wife.  I have no idea. 

Plus you did say what I quoted earlier:
"I am not really interested in seeing bands right now as my wife is pregnant and can't drink and is grumpy so shows don't sound like much fun at the moment."

So what shows are you going to next week?  Or the rest of the month?  Or is the answer "none, because my wife is pregnant?"

Tuesday-David Gray at the Lincoln (if I can find a cheap ticket because I I was not expecting that show to sell out at the ridiculous price point)

Friday-The Both at the 930

Saturday-Matt Pond at the Black Cat

Monday-Ideally Trouble Funk if one of you fabulous folks has an extra ticket, if not, I'll go see Margot and the Nuclear So and So's at RnR

I'll be at Iggy Azalea tonight. Curious to see what her live show is like. Have been obsessed with her for like 2 years. Last time she was in town she did some fashion show and I was busy. Ended up being at Marvin like 30 minutes after she had stopped in to eat. I was distraught.

I was surprised to see it sell out. I also just found out her songs are played on the radio. I guess that explains it. I hadn't realized she's made it that far...

She also just guested on the new Ariana Grande single which is going to turn into the song of the summer 2014. It's already blown up everywhere.

This is pretty funny. I always liked her rap voice and her real voice. I think both are sexy, although SOMETIMES her rap voice can be annoying. Her mixtapes are better than her album, but she definitely has an amazing attitude in her music.

Were we at the same show!? I was towards the back, or actually close to these 10 guys who seemed to be on drugs or something and shouted random things the whole show, and switched position every 10 seconds until they could create their massive mosh pit after one hour or so. Obviously my attempts to have them shut up were met with laughing(?) and more shouting. Of course I am very sorry if I bothered them in their fun evening.

there was definitely a mosh pit, and it was definitely annoying and stupid.

Yeah, the mosh pit seemed quite aggressive, I saw them pushing people violently from the back probably just on the purpose of annoying the people standing still. From their comments and constant laughing, I think pretty much everything they did was directly to annoy the "too quiet" people.

Ended up at Haim last night courtesy of a friend with a free extra ticket. That was fun.

So that's 3 shows at the 930 in 6 days. Makes me feel good. Haven't done that in a while.

Balkan Beat Box at the Howard on Saturday-discounted tickets courtesy of Goldstar.  Surely I am not the only one going to this from the board?

Keren Ann at 6th and I is a possibility for Sunday.

Probably Morcheeba on Wednesday if I can get a cheap ticket. I'm not paying $50 for that.

Missing a bunch of stuff later next week and weekend since I will be out of town.

Courtneys were pretty fantastic.

Very quick 25 minutes.


For Hex: they played "New Sundae," "Manion" and "90210" and four new songs. No "Lost Boys" which was a little surprising but makes sense since it would have taken up 1/4 of their allotted time.

Vegas this weekend for Punk Rock Bowling. (https://punkrockbowling.com/)
Lineup for the first two days is so good if you're into that sort of thing.  Anti-Nowhere League was my undisputed favorite band in the mid 80's.  Would have loved to attend this.

i made it through the set, but had pretty much hit my limit when they ended.  Pollard is a genius setlist writer seemingly knowing exactly when to get the crowd rowdy again. of course he was choosing from Bee Thousand.   and I guess the Jay Carney intro was as random as it seemed

Justin Marc Lloyd

Billy Breathes, I think, got good reviews when it came out.. and that was their last good album.... a very good album.. on some days a great album

I really like the TAB album too.. the one with all the horns..

somebody wrote it on a board: if you go out on haloween dressed up as yourself its pretty lame


this was a very very bad move for Phish I think...we know they can't write songs anymore..now they can't even cover other people on halloween? what is left??

http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6143242/ed-sheerans-x-debuts-at-no-1-on-billboard-200-albums-chart

Another rock act, Phish, nets its highest-charting album since 1996, as "Fuego" bows at No. 7 with 32,000. That ties with 1996's "Billy Breathes" as the band's highest-charting set. "Fuego" is Phish's 32nd charting effort, it?s first top 10 since1998's "The Story of the Ghost" (No. 8 peak) and the first studio release since 2009's "Joy" (which debuted and peaked at No. 13).

First of all let me say I'm interested in the new album because Bob Ezrin produced it and all the good things I've read from people...so I may purchase it BUT

you can't compare stats like that... because nowadays with a paltry 32,000 you're in the top 10! and next week it will probably be down to 10,000 at most... back when Billy Breates came out you had to sell a lot more to be in the top 10....probably 5 times more.. don't have the exact number...

I'm beyond excited for this. How many of us will be in the GA pit? I'm also going up to see the Philly show. That'll be the last date of the US "tour"...I'd love to go to LA for the final one-off on Halloween but I don't think I'll make it out for that.

I can honestly say that no 2 shows are ever the same. The setlist always changes, the mood is always different from show to show, and you never know what they'll dig out. The last show I saw in San Francisco earlier this year was spectacular.

Other than it being in Camden, NJ... one of the biggest dumps in the world, it's pretty similar to any other amphitheater. I went up for the same festival a few years ago and have seen other shows there in the past, it's fine.

it's pretty non-descript but perfectly serviceable concert shed.  nothing special or particularly memorable about it, but certainly not horrible either.  you can take a ferry across from the philly side.  parking near the venue is fine on concert days, lots of people (and cops) around.

i think the VIP area comes with nothing and is a mile away from the stage...its a joke..

or its that bar behind the stage with the same ridiculous beer prices..maybe even higher.

please correct me if i'm wrong but the idea of getting free beer and a poster seems insane..they send those emails to any FWB

This will be my fifth time seeing QOTSA. First saw them at the HFSmas Nutcracker in 2002. That was also the year James Brown played and was backed up by The Pietasters.

Saw them the next year on Lollapalooza's main stage.

Then I saw them at the 9:30 and the Verizon Center in 2005 and have not seen them since!

I was supposed to go see them at the 9:30 Club a different time but they rescheduled the show and I couldn't attend the new date. Can't remember when that was though.

I believe that was September 2002, when Joey just joined the band. They had another drummer and he didn't work out, so they had to fire him and get Joey in. They had a tour booked and postponed a bunch of shows.

No. There are video monitors and of course you can hear the music. I suspect if you could see the stage, people wouldn't want to leave the area. But it's a really nice deck and the fact that you have access to some bathrooms that don't typically have a line is a big bonus. Plus, it's right by the GA pit area so if you want to sneak out mid-song to go to the bathroom, it's just a hop, skip, and a jump.

He did a clash cover with them but that was it. Fun show but I'm not a big enough fan to give you a setlist or anything for the 97s. They played around 20 songs, ended the main set with Doreen as one might expect.

Stinson played songs from Perfect and Bash & Pop. Short set and seemed to try to play stuff from all his acts. No GNR songs however.

The ankle is the worst, I broke mine 2 Xmas's ago, just getting the mail after a light snow.
The only bonus was they let me sit in the handicapped section @ Nick's Strathmore show.
Tonight was a fine greatest hits show with just enough of the new album - someone certainly has the set list - stagger lee was maniacal, but no papa won't leave you henry (would have been great after lyre of orpheus encore), nice piano set in the middle.

Pat Metheny Unity Group w/ Bruce Hornsby
Campfire Tour 2014 - friday
Pat should be great. I wish he would get the old Group w/Lyle, etc. back together.  I went to a lot of those shows in the 80's-90's and hearing those "untitled" tunes before they were recorded, ah yeah.
"American Garage" was my entry point and "Offramp" was my go-to.

I like the album i think it is called letter home.. some incredibly beautiful music.... pedro aznar is such a kickass bassist....(fans of Argentine rock will know him from Seru Giran and numerous other bands)....one of the songs he sings on that album is just so beautiful...

generally I'm not a huge Metheny fan...

Thanks.  We're both pretty bummed, but luckily there's good stuff on Netflix and OnDemand.  Watched Snowpiercer, Battered Bastards of Baseball, and catching up on VEEP.  So, there's that.
First, and foremost, I am sorry to hear of your husband's injury. We can make him an honorary boardie so he can join the ranks of the rest of us who spent/are spending part of 2014 convalescing. :(

Second, how was Snowpiercer? I am apparently the last person to hear about this apparently awesome VOD phenomenon.

Thanks everyone.  Surgery is this coming Thursday. 

Snowpiercer was good, but a little predictable.  Maybe my hopes were too high?  It was a really fucked up Willy Wonka.  That's the best way I know to describe it.  I know it's release was delayed here because of the length, but I would have really liked a longer movie to really explore aspects of the train.  But, that's why some people also really loved it, because you have to figure out things for yourself.  It just seemed a little obvious to me...

I was a schmuck and downloaded Snowpiercer, which is stupid because I'm much more likely to be a flake. And sure enough, after an hour I was kinda unsettled by how it went from brutal to boring and back and forth and I thought "eh, I'll watch the rest tomorrow" but I never did.

I think it's too bad that they get the tag of being a novelty or a gimmick because last night's show was great, just a cacophony of sound. Violins, trumpets, trombones, harps, piano, guitars, four stunningly gorgeous back-up singers, it was amazing how good it all sounded. I can see where the "UP WITH PEOPLE" vibe can grate after awhile, but I've always been impressed by how much they're an actual band with good songs.

I was also struck by how good-looking that band is. Other than the 'Steely Dan session guitarist" guy, that entire band is just gorgeous. I couldn't get over how smokin the back-up singers were and then realized the two guys playing the horny horns were very handsome and the violin guy looked like the Capt America guy and the harp player was a damn angel and even the Mascis-y guitar player looked like a cutesy Jimmy Page. That touring caravan must be one huge good-looking fuckfest.

Oh and the music was good too.

only Sidehatch can tell us...

I didn't think it was that bad... I made it up front on the left side then midway went up front on the right side...

but Willie didn't sign my record or anything...usually at end of show he signs a bunch of stuff from stage......boo.

At least I met Paul (Me: "Hey you look like you belong what's your name?", Paul: "Paul"...for those that don't know about Paul English he's a tough guy... Willie's longtime "enforcer") and Billy English and Mickey Raphael... Also I got interviewed by ROadhouse or Willies Roadhouse channel on Sirius for a good 5-10 minutes before the show...... I don't listen to Sirius or radio but my voice may be out there waxing poetically about Willie...

Didn't seem like it, especially since the crowd was definitely bigger (belt size that is)
The RA show was really jam packed and the crowd was really not very giving...i.e. you couldn't cut up the side into the crowd at all
At Willie we ended up dead center about 15 people in front of the sound board with out any issue (that is where I bumped in to dennis Kucinich and his hot wife

It's a benefit for FRESHFARM's Matching Dollars program,  which helps make fresh food more affordable to customers who spend their government nutritional benefits (SNAP, WIC, SNFMNP) at market by matching purchases.

just to explain the high price tag.

I saw PG in 2007 or 2008 at Univ of Maryland.

I saw him a few times too. I was surprised that he was not particularly tight on solo piano. I know he is a composer, but I expected that songs he wrote 30 years ago had many years of practice. In any case, I still prefer to see the composer playing than a "cover" artist, as we would say for rock music.

I would prefer to separate the idea of going to shows and supporting foundations, but I guess I am free to go or not.

Limp Bizkit show
No offense to your friend, but I'm not sure I want to see the people who want to see a Limp Bizkit concert circa-2014. Hell, that fanbase was a pretty lowlife group of degenerate date rapists in 1999; I can only imagine that demographic hasn't exactly aged like fine wine.

Report back how big of a trainwreck of humanity this turns out to be, please, I'm intrigued.

I have no idea why Fred asked him to open their tour, but I am pretty sure Dan could not turn down the opportunity for the exposure (it probably has something to do with the video of Fred jamming to SALEM, but I am not sure;  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152231128797548 ). 

I would not pay anything to see Limp Bizkit, but plan on staying for the whole show to people watch and see how bad it is (the new LB song I heard was probably the worst song I have heard all year).

Nick cave movie at the AFI (http://www.afi.com/silver/films/2014/p67/20000daysonearth.aspx)
probably Wednesday
(http://cdn.mos.totalfilm.com/images/e/exclusive-poster-for-nick-cave-s-20000-days-on-earth-166021-a-1406180668-470-75.jpg)
Actually am going to catch this at the Angelika Popup @ Union Market,
Wow this was way better than expected!  I was already going into it thinking it was going to be great, but this really was one of the best movies on music/creativity/storytelling/the magic of a intimate live performance.  Nick is awesome and so is Warren Ellis an not to mention some great cameos by Blixa, Klylie and bearded Ray Winstone
This is a must see movie even if you are lukewarm on Mr Cave. 
Although it was just the wife and 5 other people in the theater, I see they just extended it's showing until oct 16th at the Angelika Popup @ Union Market (AFI only has it one more night)


Nick spends some time discussing the intimacy that he has with the audience members  in the front row (with his 'therapist') and there are some great scenes to compliment this
I'm sure K8tbug and Dycrig can both relate how real this connection can be

Wish I could remember some of the quotes, but apparently most of this was not scripted and him just ad libbing.

Placebo ruled.
By ruled I meant: played a 20 song set that featured a good combination of new and old songs; an enthusiastic crowd of fans; good sound (though a teeny bit heavy on the bass, not the best that I have heard the Fillmore sound, but still good); not all of the way sold out, but far from empty, I had room to breathe; 13 (in bold below) of the songs blew me away and the other 7 were good); played as a six member band instead of just the three members, so nothing had to be left out or played via backing tracks on any of the songs; and they had a good light show. 

It was a great night, and definitely lived up to my expectations as a long time fan (since 1998).

Setlist:
        B3
        For What It's Worth
        Loud Like Love
        Every You Every Me
        Scene of the Crime
        A Million Little Pieces
        Twenty Years
        Too Many Friends
        Rob the Bank
        Purify
        One of a Kind
        Exit Wounds
        Meds (the beginning of this was a cool stripped down version)
        Song to Say Goodbye
        Special K
        The Bitter End

        Encore:
        Begin the End
        Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)
        (Kate Bush cover)
        Post Blue
        Infra-red

Post by: Relaxer on October 10, 2014, 02:53:47 pm
That sounds cool. I'm so sick of bands going minimal on-stage and using tapes. The Raveonettes did that last week and it was so lame. What made it even more glaringly shitty is that the last time I saw them, many years ago, they had a big band with them, with four guitar players. So the sound was huge and visceral. This recent show was the guy on guitar and the woman on bass, but nothing she "played" corresponded with what came out of the speaker. And the most interesting guitar parts came from the tapes. I just can't get with that.

So I'm glad Placebo went the other direction. I might've gone to this if it hadn't been in Silver Spring.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: Rogue Riderhood on October 10, 2014, 03:36:13 pm
It was definitely good to hear the full sound; drummer, 3 guitarists with Brian also singing and one of the guitarists doing backup vocals, bass player (who also did synths on some songs), and a keyboard player who also did back up vocals and electric violin.

What is wrong with Silver Spring?  Too far?

Also, for some reason the bass player was behind one of the stacks of amps.  You could see him, but he was on the same area that the drummer was, and if you were on the left of the crowd, you might have not been able to see him due to the amps (he is in the picture i took, far right on edge of picture and can barely be seen since he is behind the amps).

Yes, because I was (still am, but have been busy) planning on writing a few paragraphs about the show and wanted some details fresh in my mind when I sit down to write it.  I used to carry a notebook (pre having an iPhone days) and pen to shows, to take notes for the old show write-up blog that I used to run.  I usually don't take them anymore; no motivation to write.

You haven't ever seen someone take notes at a show?  I notice people doing it all the time, and assume they are writers/bloggers.

Post by: Rogue Riderhood on October 20, 2014, 01:20:35 am
As the backdrop of the final act of the night raised into position, I found myself wondering how I had got there.  What was I doing at a Limp Bizkit concert in 2014? 

This adventure started off like most others, because of something on the internet.  I have followed the artist BLVCK Ceiling (and became friends with him on Facebook) since 2010.  He is essentially a first-wave witch house artist.  He was originally calling himself Max Beta, and the first project of his that I heard was a collection of Lady Gaga remixes that I really enjoyed (http://maxbeta.bandcamp.com/album/gagaocean-max-beta).  Since then I have purchased everything he released, and chat with him occasionally on Facebook.

(the physical items of BC that I have in my collection)
(http://photos-g.ak.instagram.com/hphotos-ak-xaf1/10723900_391330804348502_2098244633_n.jpg)
His digital releases: http://maxbeta.bandcamp.com/

Fast forward to 2014; where I catch a post by BLVCK Ceiling.  Not just any post, but a post saying he was going to be opening for Limp Bizkit on his tour.  ?This cant be right,? I said to myself, but after doing a tiny bit of digging, the rumor was confirmed.  I didn?t think too much of it until I saw they were rolling this circus (also including rapper MGK) to Silver Spring. 

(Note: There is a video out there of Fred Durst bobbing his head to music by Salem, the godfathers of witch house.  I am pretty sure BC was booked because of Fred?s apparent new love of the genre).

Anyways, I really wanted to catch BC.  He is in my top favorite instrumental artists (and I LOVE his collaboration with Moon Mirror, That Was Then This is now) and I looked up the price.  Over 50 bucks? No, that was a little too rich for my blood to go to see two artists I had zero interest in, and BC.  So I casually mention that to him on Facebook:

?Too bad the tickets for the Fillmore show aren't cheaper... Hopefully this is the first of many BC shows in my area... Have fun! I love that venue. The sound system is seriously top notch. How to Destroy Angels on it was breathtaking. I am looking to see if there are any contests going on for the show.?

His reply:

?Which show you want to see? I can put you on my guest list?

?The Fillmore silver spring show. That would be amazing...
 And a million thanks in advance. You just made my week?

?No prob, I will put you on +3 so you can bring some friends?

So there I was: four tickets for a Limp Bizkit, BC, and MGK show that I didn?t dream of attending.   I tell my fiancé about this, and she freaks out and gets excited, as Limp Bizkit was one of her favorite bands when she was a kid.  We decide to ask two of her friends, since I knew one of them loved MGK, and we had our crew.

The day of the show I check the Fillmore?s website and Twitter; doors at 7, music at 8.  This was perfect, we had time to grab her friends, park, and get into the venue before 8pm.  I realized something was wrong as I was in line to get in.  The music I could hear didn?t sound very much like BLVCK Ceiling? I dashed inside and realized it was MGK and crew starting his set.  I rushed back to the lobby and looked at the set times sign; 7 to 7:30 was when BC played.  I had missed it.  I was crushed and now I was going to be stuck at a show that I had zero interest in, for at least the next 2.5 hours. 

The first thing to note is that there were two distinct tribes of concert goers at the show.  The first group was the MGK fans.  This was a younger crowd, in their teens and maybe a few in their early 20?s.  They could possibly be the new Juggalos.  They were all in the same basic uniform, wearing the following MGK items: caps, bandanas either around their head or around their neck, and some also threw in vests that were covered in MGK patches.  They were also the ruder of the two tribes.  I witnessed a congregation of about thirty of them (all dressed the same) in the lobby while Limp Bizkit was playing (I wandered around a few times looking for my friend) and looked like quite the gang.  The Fillmore was packed during MGK?s set, and I think at least 20% of them took off after MGK played.

(crowd shot, the ones on the right were some of the MGK gang)
(http://photos-a.ak.instagram.com/hphotos-ak-xaf1/10731910_739687129437208_345187425_n.jpg)
   
And speaking of MGK playing? Wow.  He had a Mohawk.  He had a drummer, bassist, guitar player, and computer guy.  And about three hype men.  Why someone needs that many hype men when they are about as amped up as anyone I have ever seen is beyond me.  He was all over the place; telling the crowd to smoke weed, somehow climbing into the balcony and magically coming down by his next verse; having a microphone stand with a fake pistol on the end that he would point into the crowd as gunshot sounds played over the system; and generally seemed to have an entertaining time, and his fans loved every second of it.  It really wasn?t my thing, but it was entertaining enough, and I was able to do some good people watching (we were in the back near the stairs to the basement and the door to the lobby for his set). 

(MGK)
(http://scontent-a-iad.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xaf1/t51.2885-15/10731637_550799658354729_779587289_n.jpg)

There was definitely good people watching to be had, there were some interesting types running around.   Football jerseys flowed, including a Falcons Vick jersey wore by a small white dude (I think most of the crowd was white, though not all) who was also wearing shorts with long dress socks pull up in his athletic shoes. Or the guy with the Compton hate.  There were plenty of hats.  Almost ever guy had either a baseball cap or a knit cap.  I have never seen so many hats at a show in my decade plus of attending shows in this area. This turned out to be an issue ? as I looked for BC that night, he in Facebook looked like a lot of the crowd; black hat, bearded, white dude, with tattoos.   As the MGK crowd left, the rest of the place seemed noticeably nicer. 

We moved up a little bit so my fiancé could see.  After a slight weight, the Limp Bizkit sign was in place, and music started playing.  It was some game show music song as the band took the stage.  And there they were.  Limp Bizkit.  Fred no longer had a soul patch, but a grey beard.  His signature red hat was also missing, with a white cap now claiming that real estate.   And then surprisingly, I had a good time for the next 90 or so minutes.  Fred was a great front man.  I never got into them, and only knew their biggest tunes, but the crowd was way into it, and singing along to everything.  The fans were definitely a mixed crowd, mostly 30s/40s with some 20 year old and teens thrown in.  We even saw two 10 year old girls going nuts the whole time (I think their parents must have been these heavier women who took up residence in the stair well for the show).  Everyone was dancing and having a great time, my fiancé including. 

I wish I could say that it was a horrible experience, but in truth, it was a lot of fun.  Fred was a charismatic frontman, and he had lots of banter during their set (but not too much) and maintained a high energy level throughout.  The band sounded ok (especially Wes, I dig some of his guitar work; I was also surprised to see him in a full body latex suit/mask thing) and played a mix of songs I had heard before and ones I hadn?t, but the crowd seemed to love them all.  The time flew by and by the end, while I wasn?t a Limp Bizkit fan all of a sudden, I did have appreciation for the band, and their seemingly passionate fans.

A couple final notes on the LB set:
Fred (I guess) joking told everyone to put their cameras away and throw people?s who didn?t comply
The bass player kept spraying crowd with his bottles of water
Fred Durst passed water bottles out to people in the front
The tallest person I have ever seen was there and Fred mentioned him
The covers of the night were Faith (yay!) and a not that great Killing in the Name cover, which the crowd loved.
They randomly played two songs by the DJ during the set.  Move by Ludacris and Up in Here by DMX
Fred had to tell people to mosh.  Don?t tell people to mosh (or dance) move them with your music
Everyone who pushed past me said excuse me during LB
Fred called Fillmore "intimate"; I guess for him maybe

Sadly I didn?t meet up with Dan; he finally messaged me back on Facebook as we were driving off.  Maybe next time he said.  And he also told me that Limp Bizkit is now fam.

I have friends who went to that that LB show and said it was awesome. I also know a guy who went to their show at the Ram's Head (which sold out) and said that was great as well. Perhaps we are in for a renaissance  of rap-metal/nu-metal?

Thanks! I was pretty upset that I missed him.  But, due to this tour, there is now the chance that he will tour again (i dont think he ever played shows outside of the Northwest before this) and I can catch him at a smaller venue.

Same.  I am going to revisit their albums this weekend.  What an awesome show...

Julian, I looked for you (I wrote a PM but wasnt sure it went through after I left last night).  Maybe next time.

Betao, it was cool hanging with you during the show!  We definitely have to do it again.

Slowdive will possibly be my favorite set of the year, unless something else blows me away like that before NYE.

Gonna catch Dave Attell at the Improv and my buds are opening for Skrillex on Friday so heading there after.

I was never a huge Skrillex fan, but I got to catch him when he played 930 Club [and the after party at Uhall] and was super surprised at how ecclectic his set was. It was his "Club Tour", so we'll see what his show is like in front of 5000 people. Either way I'm not paying so I won't complain.

I saw Riff Raff in Philly. He got booed off the stage. I truly enjoy his music, I think his lyrics are absolutely insane. I wondered how his live show would translate. That was insanely disappointing. That was last year though so maybe he's come a way since then...

Post by: Rogue Riderhood on October 27, 2014, 07:30:54 pm
It was completely awesome.  I was able to talk to him for a minute after the show, and he signed the insert of his new CD for me (the only one he signed today... at first when i asked if it would be ok for him to sign my CD, his publicist said he wasnt signing anything today, but took my address and name and the insert and said that they would mail it to me, but for some reason he signed it anyways, and called me back over to them and he gave it to me, but told me not to tell anyone there because they didnt want to do a signing, I grabbed the signed insert, said thank you, and walked off in shock; when they said Yusuf was asking for me, I almost thought I was in trouble for bugging him.  He was so nice and gracious...).

He also shook my hand and touched my arm with his other hand when I first said hello (I of course asked his people if it would be alright to say hello and talk to him, and they said ok, and that was after I saw one other person do the same thing). 

I love the new album.  I listened to it twice before the set.  Also, First Cut is the Deepest and Father and Son were good choices to pick for classics.

well that is pretty cool....

I didn't know he'd even be on NPR

guess my two kids are taking up all my time or something is amiss

even though i have my reservations about some of the things he's said i try to remain open minded... and definitely his songs are timeless...

very cool to get the signed insert....congrats....you gotta post a picture on the setlist/picture thread!

I used to own a copy of Cat Stevens' first LP (The World of Cat Stevens)...unfortunately it got stolen from me in Argentina....such a shame...never managed to get it again although its probably not that uncommon...

His music is really used to amazing effect in that 70s crazy movie about that kid that has an affair with the granny or whatever...

Here Comes My Baby is a great little tune..love the Yo La Tengo cover on Fakebook

that is it for my Cat Stevens thoughts for now...

Maybe.  I posted it on instagram.  He signed it to my full name because that was what I wrote in his publicist's notebook, and don't really want to post my full name here (though I could be easily found at my real name with info like past screen names of mine), so maybe.  Or I edit it and the image and post that.

Mar and Bot run this label called Main Course, check out their Soundcloud. A lot of their new releases are all free and totally amazing. It's my favorite label and they are the nicest dudes. The last 2 times they've come to town we've all partied. Stoked to be on the bill with them and Scottie. I'm a big fan of Matic 808 as well! And yes everyone is DJing.

I am not even sure where he or his brother went to college (well, her dad went to William and Mary for his PHD but I am not sure where he went for his undergrad studies... I dont think it was in Michigan though).

I should probably ask why he and his brother are such huge Spartan fans.  I think they might have even spent their formative years in East Lansing and not Flint.  I just know it was in that general area...

And Flint is actually about 15 minutes closer to Ann Arbor than to East Lansing, just for the record.

Le Guess Who this week!  So far I'm thinking

Thursday - Einsturzende Neubauten, Silver Apples or Tamikrest, Ben Frost, Loop
Friday -  Jenny Hval, Hylouris White, Sir Richard Bishop, Trans Am, Prurient, Cut Hands
Saturday - Savages / Bo Ningen, Wire, Swans, Autechre, Hieroglyphic Being (if i can stay up that late)
Sunday - 24 hour dronefest, St. Vincent - haven't decided on others yet

May switch this up - want to mainly try to see bands I know I don't have a good chance of seeing again - already seeing Swans in march again, but they are my favorite band so must see. Way too much overlap of bands I would like to see tho

Amazing indeed. As a kid I didn't really know any of the music or musicians acting in the show. When I caught all the reruns as a teen my mind was blown! One of the best kids shows of all time.

I didn't know what they were at the time but a few songs stuck in my subconscious until I heard them and immediately recognized them again by chance much later on. This one immediately comes to mind. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5FZdNe_YSc)

Yeah its ridiculous how much good music was on that show. Polaris was pretty fun in Baltimore last night.

I will be seeing Death From Above 1979 on Monday but not at the 9:30 Club (unfortunately I work weeknights). I won some promotion on DC101 to have lunch at the studio and witness an in-studio performance in the afternoon. I'll take it as consolation for missing the real thing at the club!

I'm considering attending the free U Hall MSTRKRFT dj gig. That might be fun.

I thought about going to that one... or the show the day before with Big Ups/Multicult/Hive Bent/Washer at The Crown.  I am not sure at the moment what this week holds for me. 

My only definite is the Lagwagon/Swingin' Utters show at Black Cat on Sunday.

I'd like to apologize to Julian because I know he wants photographic evidence of me pulling my pud to MSTRKRFT, unfortunately all the pictures I had came out blurry from how vigorously I was tugging myself. So, as usual, you'll just have to imagine me pulling my pud. Hard.

remember DC never gets good set lists or guests...ever.

bands don't much enjoy playing here.. people are too uptight...they don't get into it and the band feels it and returns the "favor"

they always save their best shit for NYC partly because that is where the reviews that matter come from...

unless you're GBV doing a Yahoo webcast in which case Pollard gets embarrassingly drunk and the band breaks up a few shows later in shame.

So happy I skipped this one...not sure what's up with YLT when they play DC. I'm sorry that I missed Stan Demeski doing "Sudden Organ" in NYC. And Philly looked great. But the past couple tours have been very lackluster in DC. And I agree, someone said that they're over that "Pass the Hatchet" song and I am too. They've got plenty of long jammy songs that are superior. "Blue Line Swinger" is far better, so is "I Heard You Looking".

Traveling 2 hours to catch a diverse setlist is totally worth it IMO. If I have friends in another city, sometimes I'll turn it into a weekend away if I can catch multiple shows on a tour. Depending on the band, it's usually worth it.

I am not planning on going to any shows for a couple weeks, but do have one event coming up.  On Sunday December 4 I will be filling in for Sean Gray at Accidental Guest Radio on WMUC from 6 till 10 PM; alongside azaghal1981, who usually does the show with Sean every week.  Sean's band is playing that night, so azaghal asked me to sit in and play some tunes.  Expect a Baltimore heavy set with a few shoegaze and electronic tangents.  This will also probably be the least "hardcore" of any AG show.

I am not planning on going to any shows for a couple weeks, but do have one event coming up.  On Sunday December 4 I will be filling in for Sean Gray at Accidental Guest Radio on WMUC from 6 till 10 PM; alongside azaghal1981, who usually does the show with Sean every week.  Sean's band is playing that night, so azaghal asked me to sit in and play some tunes.  Expect a Baltimore heavy set with a few shoegaze and electronic tangents.  This will also probably be the least "hardcore" of any AG show.
SO GUYS, HOW DID THIS GO?

SO GUYS, HOW DID THIS GO?
It was a lot of fun.  We ran into a tiny bit of technical difficulty.  I gave some shoutouts, inclusing to you (I played a song named Julian for you).  I actually knew it was you on the phone after hearing what songs you were asking for.  Since it was my first time in there, we decided not to take calls; but maybe next time.  We had exactly enough time to play all of the tracks we had for it and I hope I do it again.

I actually knew it was you on the phone after hearing what songs you were asking for. 
You noted my famously eclectic taste in my requests for Julian Casablancas, Juliana Theory, Julian B, Juliana Hatfield Three, and Julian Lennon songs, eh?

You still never told me if I was caller number 9 and won the free pizza.

ok here's the deal: don't eat the food while aaron plays..get there earlier and eat the restaurant or by the bar depending on your mood.. i think the food is real good but its the beer specials that are great...

if you eat while aaron is playing its just nacho type fare but they have a nice full scale restaurant..

I have an associate who refers to himself as a professional DJ basically because he DJs the occasional "skating party" or "wedding" and he's really over the top with it. All these FB posts about DJing and DJ "culture" and even has his name set to display as "DJ ______" but the guy fucking DJs off an iPod. He doesn't even own tables. And there's nothing wrong with that but you'd think if "DJing" has been your thing for like, 8 years, you'd buy some actual equipment and attempt to learn something more about it other than making playlists.
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: DeathFromAbove1979 on January 13, 2015, 12:22:32 pm
I think there's 2 different kinds of "DJ's"... One is a Turntablist [scratching and scratch routines, beat juggling, etc.] and the other is a Selecter [mixing songs together very well, in key, and creating off the cuff mixes and mash ups]. I think the word "DJ" is thrown around TOO much today. I consider myself a selector, because I can't really scratch all that well. I still use turntables and what not. There's a million controllers now because actually buying DJ equipment is HELLA expensive. Just about everywhere I play already has equipment, so I think I'm lucky. I started on turntables and transitioned to CDJs. I've seen dozens of people who SUCK at DJing and it's a real shame. Not that DJing had a great name, but it sucks when someone brings up me being a DJ, when they know nothing about it, and just think I hit play and Dubstep happens lol. Comes with the territory though.

Thanks, EDM.

The thing about my guy is he isn't even a selector. He literally just makes a playlist, hits play, and wears giant headphones and yells "come on people, lets get on the floor now!" between songs. If he was actually crossfading songs or doing mashups, I'd have no problem with him calling himself a DJ, I just think it's hilarious how "big" he is into it and how little effort he actually puts forth.

I like playing with controllers, but... literally playing with them. They have some fun gadgets on some of them. I hate using them to play shows though. The sound isn't as great and you usually have to ramp up sound to get it to sound like straight CDs or going through Serato/Traktor box. But this is cool if you're just gonna be playing tunes around!

I didn't. I can't at work. I'll scope it later. The new CDJ 2000s have crazy loop features on them too. On TOP of that the new Pioneer mixers are insane. There's no reason any DJ shouldn't be doing cool, live shit using their turntables and mixers. I'll look into this though!

I don't use the internet to be harassed by some 60 year old dude.  Grow the duck up Hutch.

I can easily be found on social media.

I am not having a "meltdown."  

 don't get the "duck" reference?
is that some new vogue hipster lingo? sorry my cranky old 60 year old self doesn't get it...

The percontation point (⸮), a reversed question mark later referred to as a rhetorical question mark, was proposed by Henry Denham in the 1580s and was used at the end of a question that does not require an answer?a rhetorical question. Its use died out in the 17th century

Ok...so time for a percontation revival!

Yesterday I went to the taping of last night's Clooney/Pacino/Tom Waits. I will miss Dave.

Lucky you! I've been telling everyone to watch the Waits interview segment. It was like "dad performance art".

I only went Sunday and saw all the bands. I was pleased with most of the sets....grindcore is still not my thing though the band Anaal Nathrakh is still a million times better than Pig Destroyer.

The top 3 bands I saw were: Primordial, Amorphis and Neurosis.

What was yours?

I went Saturday to B-more Soundstage and Sunday to mainstage. My favorite sets for Saturday were Inter Arma, Full of Hell, Cephalic Carnage and headliners Agoraphobic Nosebleed. Their set was tremendous!
Sunday for me was all about Goatsnake and Neurosis. I enjoyed Tombs, Winter and Skepticism a lot. I did see Anaal Nathrakh, Primordial, Massacre and thought they were just fine. I saw about half of Amorphis and liked what I heard but was pretty exhausted and already had a friend asleep in the car so I bailed. It was great to see all these rare bands and meets lots go cool folks. I'll be back next year for my 5th adventure to MDF.

yeah went to see him speak...was pretty lackluster
but he's on a big push for this 'Conservative & Compassionate' on immigration
but made some good points and it's nice to hear someone speak about the topic from the republican side that doesn't go into hyperbole and actually have some plans that could feasibly work

I'm guessing that the new venue in SW that'll open up will be a perfect venue for a band like Faith No More when it opens. Bigger but not too big. More accessible to DC folks than Merriweather. I love Merriweather but during the week it's really prohibitive for me.

you know, if it wasn,t so far out my way, i would just love to give bearman, a nice long ride.  if anybody sees me at faith no more, say hello to you fine sir . . . i,ve always wanted to meet fellow boardies to share a fine alcoholic product with them.  I will probably be wearing a widespread panic shirt that has a gorilla on the front, or the widespread panic blue indian shirt.  im sure, nobody else in the entire venue will have a widespread panic shirt on, and ill probably get beat up for wearing it.

Post by: walk,on,by on August 01, 2015, 01:26:33 pm
just got this email:

Hi there!

We saw you're headed to Faith No More at Merriweather tomorrow (Sunday 8/2) so we wanted to do a little something special for ya...

We've put you plus 1 on the VIP Deck Pass list for the show! When you get to Merriweather, bring your photo ID along with your FWB card (electronic is fine) to the 9:30 Club tent, located just inside the South/Main entrance gates. They can give you your 2 VIP deck passes. We've attached a map so you can see where the VIP deck area is on site. Quick note: These passes are in addition to your ticket, they don't get you entrance into the show; they're for the VIP deck.

What is the VIP Deck you ask?  VIP is located to the side of the pavilion-it's a great place to hang, catch some of the show on monitors, grab a drink with little to no line or take advantage of the special VIP deck restrooms. 

No need to RSVP for this one. We already have you on the list. 

We hope you have a blast!

Your Friends at 9:30


fucking, a.  thanks!

Vas did not meet us for food, and we did not go to Popeyes. 

Another band we wanted to see (Pill) was playing the Crown (a few blocks from the Ottobar) and we decided to get food there (it is a restaurant/lounge/music venue). That way we could figure out if it was feasible to watch Swervedriver and then watch Pill (it was) and also their food is decent.

I accepted reality and will stick around New York for the weekend instead.  It's going to be an early show and as much as I want to I just wasn't going to make it back in time.  I might try to catch the Brooklyn show instead.

further proof that only the uncool attend.  or worse yet, would like to attend but don't thus further contributing to their uncoolness.  or maybe by staying away from the hoard of uncools that swarm at GYBE shows, they're actually increasing their cool?  or are they just not adding to their uncoolness?  this is getting so complicated...

whatever.  i'll be there, i'll be uncool, and hopefully Vas won't hump my leg.  looking forward to it.  mostly.

I mean I wouldn't mind Grasshopper but I'm not holding my breath...I think they the T5 setlist will pretty much be it...if we're lucky..we may get a few less given the lame-o DC crowd and potential attendance...T5 is a way bigger venue..

Sturgill Simpson Friday. Can't wait!!!
going Wednesday at the Lincoln

and I'm really glad I decided to go to the friday night show in b'more. Would not have been able to get to the wednesday show with the pope.
I know the pope think is crimping my style as need to get there early with the whole seated GA thing
Can I tell you how much I hate that set up

Do people go in there and save like 6 seats with jackets
I can only imagine big cat-fights over it

I was all for this pope until he decided he was going to snarl up traffic in my town

There are a few parking lots in that area
I don't know if they are 24 hour
there are a few by 18th and Columbia as well as one right on the corner of 14th and U

Street parking is next to impossible in that area depending on what time you get there

I've been trying to score economical tickets to the Stevie Wonder show this Saturday because my son really likes him, but I couldn't find anything less than $100 per ticket and my thought was "fuck that" so I basically gave up on the idea and now a buddy of mine is emailing saying he'll give me (just me) a free ticket to the show but I can't get over my earlier disappointment plus I'll feel like a dick saying to my kid "Remember that show we were going to go to? Well, I'm going, without you." So I don't even know because while I like Stevie Wonder, I don't like-like him.

Social security isn't the safety net it used to be
gotta support these old fogies anyway I can


but I was cautious about board protocol ...as technically that should have been posted in Next Weeks Rollcall thread

but I am very much looking forward to it...also very happy it's not sold out (not for the band or seth...just me)



the blurb for the opener Diane Coffee scares me
Everybody?s A Good Dog took shape after this former Disney child actor and current drummer for Foxygen

  ... channeling the New York Dolls or T-Rex at their strutting-est and Meatloaf at his most theatrical, with shades of Motown-worthy soul. The gentle psychedellia on opener ?Spring Breathes? gives way to a pounding prog breakdown, ?Mayflower? leads with a monster funk-fueled horn riff, while on ?Tams Up? Fleming fronts his own one-man doo-wop group.



also for those keeping count...my second free show from Friends with Benefits membership!

We're shooting for 7-9:30 for the folk festival, but timing depends on preceding events. We'll look for you and Big Bertha. You look for the two old white people with their one kid. Probably wouldn't see too many people like that at a folk festival.

I've never actually had any LH beers, but the reviews from other beer snobs are, like you said, very good. And they're having free pumpkin and sunflower picking, our kid will be into that.

I dragged him to Weezer when we were first living together. That pretty much taught me that there are shows we will go to together and shows I will go to without him with my friends.

I haven't seen IG since maybe 2001 so thought it might be nice to just see them again. Also got Ani tickets in January.

I'm going with a group of about 15 people and I'm the only American,  so I can see that.  It's not sold out and capacity is only 2325 so it should be a really good time.

DIARRHEA PLANET this Saturday
Every time I see them, it's amazing and I have the thought, dozens of times, that "this band was just meant for me"
We know. Every time you see them, you tell us this dozens of times.

I remember these girls when I was a young lad thought they'd be funny and made brownies with a ton of laxatives and gave them to the unsuspecting beach lifeguards (min 1/2 mile to real bathroom)

If a lifeguard is sitting at the water's edge, as he or she ought, then there is no need to run 1/2 mile to a bathroom.

I don't know about any of that. I know Samuel and Kings is full of accounts of killing off everyone who pisseths against a wall, so God is definitely anti-wall urination. Perhaps he does want us to urinate into a body of water.

Defication however is a very different thing. Deuteronomy makes clear "[Y]ou shall have a spade among your tools, and it shall be when you sit down outside, you shall dig with it and shall turn to cover up your excrement" (23:13). Water based dookie dropping is clearly an affront to the Lord.

a pity the charlies had to play Regency Ballroom. Man, the sound is just horrid there. And it was so sparsely attended. Id have definitely preferred a bit smaller venue and definitely a way better sound system.

This week:
12/1 Dandy Warhols @ GAMH
12/2 Dandy Warhols @ GAMH
12/4 !!! @ Slims
12/6 Sound of Music Sing-Along @ The Castro

Chris Stapleton tonight.
Charlatans tomorrow.
Sturgill Simpson Wednesday.

I'm not too old for this shit.

I really enjoyed the Charlatans. Very under-attended but filled with die-hard fans, which they appreciated. It was a fun time.

I'm going with a group of about 15 people and I'm the only American,  so I can see that.  It's not sold out and capacity is only 2325 so it should be a really good time.

Interestingly,  the Chris Stapleton show is the only one on my list that's sold out -  I guess that CMA performance with JT did wonders for his pocketbook.

i don't want to push my luck, but a german gatefold "ziggy" with lyrics and spider's headshots inside, a trex "electric warrior" gatefold and the 2 ronson solo promo LPS for the ronson girls to sign may be too much.

Queensrÿche was a maybe because of the snow (now it is a no).

Wildhoney microshow is a definitely because I dont want to miss their acoustic set, but might just be a maybe because of the snow.

Trophy Wife is only possibly cause I only want to see one of the bands and do not know if it is worth it.

The Saturday show is a probably because I will probably want to get out of my house,

And my recently added Friday show of Wildhoney and Romantic States is a definitely because they are two bands I really enjoy.

Trophy Wife is only possibly cause I only want to see one of the bands and do not know if it is worth it.

The Saturday show is a probably because I will probably want to get out of my house,

And my recently added Friday show of Wildhoney and Romantic States is a definitely because they are two bands I really enjoy.

what you ask and what you get is very different.....a lot of people just list them and figure "if i don't get it i'll just go".. its almost like "at what price are you willing to take the money and not go"
i'm so excited to finally see them.. and from the pit..

but this far out a lot of people will list at very high prices.. you got to log in as if you're selling tickets to then see what tickets have actually sold for and in what section.. that might be interesting...but i can't be bothered...

Who's got two thumbs up and a FREE Wilco ticket
So this is an album tour for Star Wars (their meh new album not the movie)

all shows have them going from track 1-11 at show opener
Yikes...might actually come late as I have a seat ( I know that is lame, especially since they've been a top band of mine for 20 years)

But come on, play 6 or 7 songs from the new album, interspersed between your other songs
That's totatlly OK, but this is kinda lame IMO

Has anyone given this album a second listen since it came out?


Good thing is they are doing 25-30 songs a night with some good stuff from the back catalog
Give back the keys and We've been Had would be sweet
and lots from Being There and Summertheet

Could almost catch the superbowl and show up at song 12

I had the same opinion when i went to see Wilco on the A Ghost is Born tour. Now it's one of my favorite Wilco albums many year later.

In their defense, the entire Star Wars album is  only 33:46 in length.

I'm not a fan of the album, but critics ate it up. And Patterson Hood said it was their best studio album.

Yeah, I saw that 2005 tour (at the Berkeley Greek...one of my favorite outdoor venues)

a little less weight
Is he becoming an obeast? I only met him once, at the Pizza Underground show, and he seemed thin enough to speak to. Not the case anymore?
Hutch could use a watch band as a belt, so his perspective is a little off
I most likely weighed more at that PU show, but we're talking a BMI of 27...now around 25.5

Also, while I was extremely skeptical of a GWARBQ 2: Electric Boogaloo thing happening, this past weekend I think I might have come up with an idea for this year's that would be fresh and interesting enough for me to do it. I don't want to say too much but I'm in talks with someone about it. Still early stages.

I have posted about these since 2011:
http://www.mobtownstudios.com/microshows/
Mobtown Studios in Baltimore hosts a Baltimore band once a month to record a live set on their studio gear, which in turn is released for the world to enjoy later.  The sets are taped in front of a small crowd, and anyone can get a free ticket to it, but space is limited.  They are a lot of fun.

Saturday - Lucy Dacus at Bathtub Republic (definitely)
Cool.  I might go. 

Don't do it man.. Vile sucks.
Live?  On record?  I have never seen him perform. I enjoy his albums.  I look forward to seeing him at a venue of this size, because he is definitely close to not playing shows at venues of that size anymore...

The best Dandys show I saw was when they opened for Elextrafixion and Echobelly in 1995. Maybe because I like them better as an opener than a headliner.

I met Josh the night at the 9:30 when he reamed the guy for throwing stuff on stage. I told him that he was one of my favorite guitarists of all time and he seemed a little unimpressed. Then I said, "plus...you're hot as hell". I don't know what possessed me to do that but I seized the moment because nobody was around. He looked confused for a moment (like he misheard me) and then went "awwwww...thanks dude!" and put his arm around me with a little half hug. Then he signed my cd and wrote "you/me" with a heart around it and signed his name. True story. Josh is someone that I think would be your most loyal friend, but he'd be your biggest enemy if you crossed him. I also think he's sharp as a knife and a human b.s. detector. But incredibly grateful for his real fans. I think being respectful is mandatory for him, and I understand that totally.

hey challenged.....

I LOVED the Mountain Goats show, probably the best I've seen him with a band. There was an additional guy on keys/saxophone/clarinet, so it was a quartet. John even played keyboards on a couple songs.  Long show (close to 2 hours).... not a complaint, it was a Saturday night!

He did a solo set in the middle (about 4 or 5 songs)...lots of really old songs.  They love York PA (their third time at the same venue)

MBV in Philly was not loud at all.  I was definitely disappointed .  I don't really love their music and went for the experience... And it was what it was.

Conan at Ottobar this year so much was louder.  My whole body was shaking.  It felt like my insides were rattling and I was worried I was going to get a concussion.  I lasted about 50 minutes.

reminds me of the Gang of 4 show at the club in 2005.... a friend that was with me had to eventually stand on the other side of the wall on the floor for the last half of the show... he'd recently had a medical procedure that resulted in him having a plastic tube in his chest, and he said the bass was shaking everything so much, he could feel that tube rattling, and he said it was not a pleasant feeling.....

I had to decide between the Cure and Paul Simon. I've seen Paul a few times before (and every time was fantastic) but never the Cure, so had to go with them.

Also, I had no idea Will Oldham/Bonnie Prince Billy was playing 6th and I this Saturday! I was browsing CraigsList's "tickets" section and someone was selling tix to the show. Pretty jazzed about that, so that's now coming this weekend.

but the last 2-3 have been just meh and also felt burnt

Man looks like it was an awesome set (http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/ryan-adams/2016/lincoln-theatre-washington-dc-13ff55e5.html)

Well it's under the whitehurst freeway down on the Potomac in Georgetown
there are a few parking garages right there on K/water street as well as a lot of street parking

if you take 66 in, take the exit for Rock Creek that takes you to the watergate
then you make a Right that takes you to the K street intersection, make a left into the center lanes on K and that will take you under whitehurst freeway and then Gypsy Sally's is all the way at the end ...if you go past it you end up on the capitol crescent bike trail (or in the potomac)

I hope to make it to Lucinda Williams next Tuesday in Baltimore...

This has been a really long stretch for me without concerts..one month....but I just couldn't muster the excitement for a few shows that were on my radar the past month...

It has been I think 10 years since I've seen her.. a very long time.... she was one of my favorite musicians in the 1990s/early 2000s but I just didn't love any of the stuff after World WIthout Tears until Down where the Spirit meets the bone (that I didn't really listen to until last year)... West, Little Honey and Blessed didn't do much for me.. but the new one I really love...go figure... probably I was just burnt out on her.. I dunno...maybe there was a dip in her output but I doubt she fell off the cliff and it sort of felt like that to me...

Yeah, honestly, they were good when I saw them in July, but it wasn't mindblowing by any means. Setlist:

The Lung
Goin Down
Back to Your Heart
Pieces
Tiny
Feel the Pain
Start Choppin
Freak Scene
Just Like Heaven

Now, I will say that they were the 2nd band on a 3 band bill, so that certainly played a role.

I have only seen them once, the last time they played Black Cat.  And while it was awesome, it was at Black Cat and the sound was bad.   I don't mind if the set list is similar, as the sound is going to be so much better.

I would be happy if we got a set list similar to this recent one... http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/dinosaur-jr/2016/ebisu-liquidroom-tokyo-japan-6bfc3e9a.html

Because sound is not everything. 

1.  It was my first time seeing them.
2.  I was on a date.
3.  They played all of the songs that I wanted to hear. 

The sound usually sucks at the Black Cat main stage.  Nowadays I try to avoid it as much as I do Rock and Roll Hotel, but sometimes it is unavoidable.

I like to joke that her album titles are her current BMIs, but sadly the joke won't be accurate for another 15 years or so.

As someone who is 10-15 pounds overweight myself, I feel that it is ok for me to make jokes about Adele's weight, because she and I are in the same sinking boat. You however are not overweight so it's not ok for you to make Adele fat jokes.

Get ready for it -- Adele, tonight (Tuesday).  I'm missing out on several shows being held tonight as well, but we got tickets like a year ago, and they are great seats, and I am very excited.

Hey, Bags! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I went Monday night and loved every minute of it. I'd had kind of a crappy day before the show, but that all went away as soon as she took the stage. I was just grinning the whole concert. Cool stage show and lighting with the screens and the "rain."  I've been kicking myself for not getting a ticket to her 2011-05-12 show at the 9:30 Club for the last 5+ years, so I wasn't going to miss this one. This was the most pseudo-intimate arena concert I've ever attended. It almost sounded like a club show, and Adele seemed to connect with every section of the Verizon Center. Really impressed with her stage presence.

Killer, fucking, show.   We were not that close. We had about 12th row seats center.  I was hit on quite a few times.  Great light show and stage displays.  It is as if they have not aged. And it was like being in a big gay club where everybody's bumping and grinding and having a killer time.   Worth, the 40 minute wait.  Hot, daddies everywhere, which was nice too.

i really like his first album Carolina (listening to it now).it was produced by Mario Caldato...tracks like Mangueira and Carolina are awesome.... the follow up was not as good (Cru)... too slow.. not enough of the Samba Funk that made the debut so captivating.. hearing someone sing slow boring songs in a foreign language is not very appealing!.... and I sort of lost touch after that...of course the Bowie covers CD is great (as Bowie himself acknowledged).. I actually donated my copy of the CD to the 930 Club Hall of Records.. I'll pick it back up at some point I'm sure....ideally on vinyl though its currently out of print..

at one point he seemed to have a really promising career ahead of him.. but his first album was 15 years ago and he really has not made much of a mark in the end...which is why he's playing Bowie covers... I did see him open for Cesaria Evora at Wolftrap but it was just him with an acoustic and on the lawn everyone was busy stuffing themselves like pigs and downing drinks into their gullets as quickly as possible... so it made no impression.. then one time I think Seu Jorge opened up for somebody at MPP and I saw quite a bit of that on an amateur video a friend filmed and it looked pretty good..there was a band.. I know he played the 930 too...

I guess I found Cru very dissapointing..that's the short of it.. but I love Carolina..

I bet they do something here (and by here, I mean east coast, probably NYC) eventually, I doubt they'd go through the trouble of "re-learning" those albums just to play them once... they've done Penthouse a lot, but this is the first time the other two are getting the "in its entirety" treatment that I know of....

They've been sold out for a while, it's at U Street Music Hall tonight. The new album is fantastic, and I like the setlist from this tour -- pretty psyched!

Also saw the Shins @ Bowery Ballroom on Tuesday -- was kind of meh.

Markie is the PHD scientist and off-road cyclist from the UK married to poorlulu, who is from Scotland. They live in Massachusetts with their lovely twin children now.

Mankie is the car salesman/British Naval veteran and road cyclist from Manchester who was divorced and remarried to an Irish woman. After leaving the area, he relocated to Ireland and then Florida, if I recall. Not sure what he's up to these days.

I'm not sure if either of them have a connection to Julian, though I'm sure he could tell you.

well its been quite a few years since they've played DC so maybe they attracted a decent crowd.... I was going to go but I found the new album so underwhelming it kind of took away my buzz...

Nails will probably play for 30 or 40 minutes.  They average 16 songs a set; and most of their songs are less than two minutes long (with tons of those being less than one minute long). 

Thanks for this but I couldn't make it work. How was the show?

I can't imagine listening to these guys for more than 30 or 40 minutes. I feel like after half an hour, I'd be all "Ok, I have received what Nails is providing. I got it."

well i will probably drag my sad body over there...

richard thompson is one of those guys I want to like more than I do.. I've lsitened to a ton of his music.. but for whatever reason I seem to like the people he collaborated with much more than I like him! I'd give a lot to see John Martyn , Sandy Denny or Nick Drake.. meanwhile Thompson keeps putting out albums everyone insists are amazing but they leave me bored.. although ocassionally I dig his stuff... I guess i respect him more than I am able to appreciate him but invariably I go back to his music and try again...

oh and he ain't going anywhere for a while..

Yeah the lead singer made some comment that the band hadn't had a drink in 3 days
but at the end of the show they were like "what's everyone doing?  can we meet you at a bar"
they said the show they played at dc9 1.5 years ago...only 5 people showed up, couldn't believe they sold out the 930

I'm curious if the band gets their cut no matter what's sold...and the Strathmore is responsible for setting the price that they deem "acceptable". Because to me it was definitely on the more expensive side. I'm pretty sure tickets to their show in Boston were $45. Though in Chicago they're crazy expensive too.

I think part of the price is AIR's and another part is renting out Strathmore for one night...they just pass all costs to the consumer.

well i am no expert but often times when a band is setting up a tour they field offers...and the venues/promoters tell them how much they are guaranteed etc and bands usually go with the highest offer

ultimately the band -to me- is the responsible party- for the prices...i've mentioned before how people get outraged at ticketmaster for service charges but the band gets a nice cut of that..

Oh yeah, it was a powerful and moving doc, with some amazing footage through the years. Not just the usual talking heads you see in these genre docs. Except for Ian of course! Got to chat with HR and his wife before the screening and he signed my "Charge" LP.  He seems well and the q & a with he and the filmakers was enlightening and fun. And Takorean is excellent.

I'm going to the Friday show with show time at 8. I am assuming they start at 8. I mean, Millenium Stage shows start at the same time as show time so why would it be any different for this?

I did read somewhere that they will do a 50 minute set, 10 min intermission, then another 50 min set.

I went there to see Steely Dan last Wednesday.  I was prepared for the nightmarish traffic coming from western Fairfax Co. but I figured that on a Wednesday night, the parking wouldn't be so bad.  Nope - drove around and around in the garage trying to find a spot.  It took awhile but I found something.  I don't know if it will be worse on a Friday night.  There is no other parking nearby (unless you count National Harbor but that is quite a walk and parking is expensive there (at least it was the last and only time I was there many years ago).  I gave myself two hours to get there and I had about 20 minutes to spare.

After 17+ years, I'm going to finally see Cracker/Camper. With (in Borat voice) mah wife. She 's pretty big and tough, if not a bit softened by suburban life. I'm sure she'll make a great bodyguard, but if anyone else want to serve as additional protection, please do so. I'll be the middle aged guy with a slight paunch, long hair, and hipster glasses.

I agree but this is probably the only way to get CVB....and ticket prices have been low...I say be happy that we got Camper at all..get there early


Having said this the last Cracker album is great particularly the Bakersfield cd..

I have to face the facts...Lowery is one of the best songwriters around

Post by: Vas Deferens on January 10, 2018, 04:40:16 pm
Same here.

I'd love to see Camper do their own headline show.....it's been awhile.     Have no desire to see Cracker at all.

Even though it's a co-headline, they're only gonna play 1 hour tops  (looking like 14-16 songs)

The last headline show was in 2004 I believe....

Post by: Space Freely on January 10, 2018, 05:05:33 pm
I still have the CVB third album I bought on cassette in 1986, so go way back with them, though have never seen them live (maybe I did back in 2000, but the bottle to the face erased any memory of it.)

I saw Cracker twice back in 1992 touring on the first album. Haven't seen them since, except for the time I almost saw them. So it will be 25 years since my last Cracker show.

Perhaps I'm in the minority, I'd rather see a full Cracker show. At my age, I'll take solid, straight ahead good alt-rock over "interesting."But maybe my mind will be changed tomorrow.

Hour long set, really???  I actually think the solo stuff is great and I'm also looking forward to hearing some Oasis songs, but I'll be miffed if he only plays for 60 minutes.  If that happens, I'll have no issue yelling that Noel's show was better.

12 songs, mate, 13 if you're lucky.  Now, maybe without an opener he'll expand it, but it was nowhere near Noel's 23 song set that I saw, and I much preferred Noel's Oasis song selections over Liam's.  But it was great to hear Liam rip through 3-4 tracks off of Definitely Maybe and I didn't expect him to play anything after the first two albums anyway.  Maybe that will change without Ashcroft opening.  He might even look like he didn't just roll out of bed in his orange hoodie for the show, but don't count on it.

Noel > Richard > Liam

But I enjoyed them all.

12 songs, mate, 13 if you're lucky.  Now, maybe without an opener he'll expand it, but it was nowhere near Noel's 23 song set that I saw, and I much preferred Noel's Oasis song selections over Liam's.  But it was great to hear Liam rip through 3-4 tracks off of Definitely Maybe and I didn't expect him to play anything after the first two albums anyway.  Maybe that will change without Ashcroft opening.  He might even look like he didn't just roll out of bed in his orange hoodie for the show, but don't count on it.

Noel > Richard > Liam

But I enjoyed them all.

Well Van, you were spot-on with this.  No opener and Liam played for 54 minutes, according to my watch.  I will say that it was quite good, but I could've used about five more songs.  The ticket wasn't that expensive, so I didn't feel overly ripped off.

maybe a different song for the stage invasion??

at least they did one rare on the DC date though...and no I'm a Cuckoo.

however, I get that they have to play the same old songs (crowd pleasers) on almost every date...

Yeah, it would be great for them to play Seymour Stein, though they never play it. Same with Sunday's Pretty Icons.

The bottom line is they'll never play your perfect setlist. You looked ahead of time. What did you expect?

Compared to the past 2 shows they did at Merriweather and Echostage, it was a pretty diverse setlist. I applaud their decision to mix it up. It makes going to see them always worth it.

This was my fifth time seeing them so I have more than a good idea of what I'm going to get. As I said in the other thread, they do a much better job of changing the setlists from not only year to year and show to show, so if you go see them a few times in a regional tour, you're gonna see new songs.

I bought a Jiffy Lube Live VIP parking pass on StubHub, though I now realize I will not be able to enter the actual venue from there because I just have a regular general-admission-pit ticket, lol.  Maybe it will still be worth it for an expedited exit afterwards, particularly if there are heavy thunderstorms.

Too late for Jul 22 show but FYI, you CAN enter the venue from the VIP lot with a regular ticket.  (I've done it even with Lawn.)  You just can't enter via the Club entrance.  There's a regular gate entrance, there.  Just one ticket-taker/one magnetometer.

I can also verify that is true
You need the VIP parking pass to get in the lot
but there is an entrance that was to get to the lawn area and then a VIP -club entrance shortly after that
So I think getting those VIP parking passes is worth it for shows there even if you don't have the VIP tix
It was nice to be able to order drinks and food from the VIP section, you even get a little 'pager' to call your 'servant'

Pixies were fantastic...but Kim was sorely missed by me
Gigantic->Wave of Mutilation->Debaser was worth price of admission for me (but again, Kim was really missed in Gigantic and end of WIMM)

Set list was heavy Dolittle/Surfer rosa.  And lets be honest...they probably could have played 4 less songs from Head Carier, but I guess it's good they are trying to promote the new stuff. I am glad they were a head liner and we go an 100 minute set and they were first...was a little worried that we'd only get 45 mins.

Personally would have preferred the Head On by JAMC vs Winterlong by Neil Young (snooze)
also, never knew that David Bowie covered Cactus (another fav from last night) frequently (150 times) in his live sets between 2002-2004

Didn't stay for Weezer
they did play buddy holly first as we were leaving and felt I got 'the full Weeze' that I needed
I think I made the right choice as I didn't need an ironic cover of "Africa" by toto either 
but then again I'm a music snob :)

My only regret was not giving my VIP tix to some uber Weezer fan stuck out in the lawn section

Tend to agree...if you want to watch from side box being in the row immediately behind the seats is best...

Well I was in balcony facing stage and guitars were loud

I don’t really know or understand sound...like does number of people in attendance impact sound?

All I try to say is that artist largely determines their own sound at bigger venues...some like to have it loud...personally I hate it when my ears ring the next day

I don’t imagine Anthem will sound better or as good as 930...hopefully people find it better than DAR or Patriot Center

I guess the general rule is sound should be best by soundboard?

Well look I think the sound is pretty good...having seen more shows than anyone...but I think it varies...I have seen shows with great sound and shows not so great...all I say is artists have say...

But at the end of the day it is a small arena or a huge club

Anyone here attend the free national symphony show late last year? I think that show provided an interesting benchmark...also the DJ shows...

For me, a very occasional concert-attendee, my experience with sound at Anthem varies. Last night, the sound was not loud enough to drown out the chatterers during EATB. The sax and the weber-grille did not seem well-mic'd during the Femmes. The sound for David Byrne was great; Beck was fine, Hansard was great, Shins were too quiet by a lot. Foos I remember being very pleased with after a song or two.

But overall, the venues that I have left saying the sound sucked are the backroom at Cat, and RNRH, and most openers at most venues, and all venues at which Live Nation manages.

I ended up going to Spirit Adrift. It was only 10 bucks and they are an up and coming band I am quite interested in. This was their first area show and I don't think they have any plans to come back around.

Glassjaw and Quicksand seem to have been touring a lot as of late. Not together sure but they come around here plenty. Did any boardie here go to that one? I would love to hear a review.

Sorry, thought you were asking if there was lyft/uber in Columbia. I would walk up to Hickory Ridge/Martin Road and get a ride from that intersection. The driver can just turn right onto Brokenland Parkway and hit up 29 South from there.

You're right. I have no idea how Uber/Lyft service is impacted by a crowd of slobbering morons listening to shitty tweeker crap. As the boardie with the worst taste in music on here by a mile, I feel you are really the most qualified person to answer your own query.

Party at Ground Zero (FSS tonight)
New Order next week...man they couldn't sell out until a week or so ago...now tix are impossible to find even on the secondary market

they have not had a hit in nearly 25 years...even “Crystal” was not in the US...but in a way because so much modern music derives from new order (the next stepping stone after kraftwerk) their sound is so common now nobody hears the obvious links...My favorite band but moving 6000 tickets is not that easy for legacy acts....Nine Inch Nails tickets still available (and I know it’s two shows).

I know it may seem crazy but a band like Portugal the Man with that hit that was all over radio can move way more tickets faster than new order a pioneering band that established and popularized the template on which most modern rock is seemingly built....I see so many bands predicated on marrying digital programming with “live” sounds...bands nowadays are largely programmers fiddling with computers and synths to lay down a bedrock of dance rhythm over which they place a few choice live instruments...for a fascinating read into this process see Bernard Sumners’ Autobiography particularly from when they travel to NYC and get into the Danceteria scene and meet Arthur Baker and learning how to use sequencers (God the recounting of how him and Morris came up with Blue Monday is to die for...delish)....also towards the end of joy division when Bernard preferred to stay home and build early prototype synthesizers and fiddle with them....history of modern indeed

Waiting to see what they play tonight to see what set list might be but I suppose a lot of substance with some deep cuts and a song or two by joy division...(but “which” deep cuts is the question)

I am glad new order is playing anthem cause from the first few shows at anthem I thought the venue would be a great fit and vice versa....

You have to think best bet - unless they release some tickets- will be on resale sites right before show but exercise caution....quite a few people come to shows with tickets they bought on resale sites only to find out ticket they bought has already been used by an unscrupulous reseller

Title: Re: This week rollcall

So how did it go??

Was surprisingly painless:

Already had ArthurBuck ticket, so I bought Numan ticket on Stubhub for $10, Bought Dino ticket on Ticketfly (available even when Cat website said it was sold out);

Left Rockville at 6:20ish, arrived at 930 around 7:15, parked for free on 8th street. Had dinner at FoodFood. Really enjoyed the show. Lots of lights and synths, and a bunch of crazy nightmare dancing by the band and the crowd. Gary brought out his teen-aged (?) daughter to sing with him on one song, and it was adorable to see how cutely-embarrassed she was of her dad doing his thing.

After show, took Lyft to RNRH and arrived just before band went on. Maybe 80-100 people at show. ArthurBuck was good, a few catchy songs, but really I was just happy to see Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey. Left that show during the encore...Coney Island Baby, got into a Lyft and went to BlackCat.

Arrived at Cat at 10:53, so I missed the first 8 minutes or so of Dino. Place was jam-packed and I could not slink to the front, so was about 1/2 way back next to the new raised standing area. Dino were great. Stayed to the end with the cover of Just Like Heaven at around midnight.

Walked back to parking on 8th street. Thousands of people out on the sidewalks, have rarely seen the neighborhood so packed. Looked like the main draw was the area where Pure Lounge/Fainting Goat/Hawthorne are located. Home in Gaithersland by around 1:15am.

Why would you try to "slink to the front" if you arrive at a show eight minutes after the headliner starts? You're part of the problem.

Why would you try to "slink to the front" if you arrive at a show eight minutes after the headliner starts? You're part of the problem.

I agree, it's all my fault. One mitigating factor is that I take up very little space, space.

The pumpkin spice phenomenon was started by me when I worked at a frozen yogurt store in 1983. The Taylor crashout was due to my only eating there 1 time in my life.

At the Cat and the 930 I like be up against the wall on the side...stage right, blocking no one's view. But I am sure that I ruin many folks experiences just by showing up.

I'm hoping for a 830 JAMC set time...anyone have any idea on set times

I noticed they are trying to bribe people with FWB points to get in early
And, our Friends with Benefits get 70 points for checking-in at the I.M.P. table in the lobby for Happy Hour before the first act goes on!

also this is new (to me at least)
you can pay using the Rooam (https://rooam.co/) app.

Surprised there was No Mercy Seat in LA.  I'd love them to really mix it up and go with deep cuts.  If they aren't going to do that though, Mercy Seat is kind of a must have for me.

I'm with you on Into My Arms (but I feel that way about all of Boatman's). 

I feel like the last five times I've seen them the setlists have been pretty similar.  Always a great show, and I'm going back tomorrow, but he's got a lot of great songs that I'd love to hear.  Obviously, tomorrow won't be the night.

They are really milking this one

They haven't had a hit in close to a decade.

No need for sausage parties with instruments in the modern age...then again rock has a long long history of misogyny so it’s hard to let go

I am glad there are more women in music both at concerts and in bands..

Everyone agrees it’s great there are more women in music than before. Pretending everyone who does not dismiss out of hand any band that doesn’t have a woman in it wants rock to be a sausage party and women excluded is a false choice.

I suppose you’re a giant hypocrite for attended Sleater-Kinney who is a single-sex band, right?

Saw both bands (on 2 consecutive evenings) in San Francisco a couple weeks ago, and they were both awesome. My recommendation though is not to miss the Messthetics. The record is really cool, but in concert they are very special. It's like part punk, part jazz, part psychedelic. One of the better things I've seen this year, and fun to watch.

Mock Identity were great too...hadn't had a chance to see them before.

Bagley will be unhappy with both the Wolf Trap (and it's a Tedeschi Trucks show, S&R is 3rd billed opener, Bagley won't even be in the venue when they go on) show and the Goats show, but for different reasons.  :-\

Just wanted to stop by and say Dan Boeckner was as amazing as expected on Saturday. I didn't think the new album was that great upon first listen, it was less of his patented dancy electro rock than was on the previous Operators album and EP. But the songs were great live and the Handsome Furs Sound Kapital songs were incredible.

There are few musicians as brilliant and talented as Dan around. He is certainly one of a kind.

The new album is 10X better live and Dan's voice was unbelievably great.

Did you dance?  It was definitely a workout.

just because it isn't close to sold out doesnt mean that anyone is chinning here. 

it sold a lot of tickets, especially at $79.50, it's gonna be a strong walk-up on a beautiful night, and Bagley and I and our fams are good for at least 6 impossible burgers, 4 pizzas, and $2300 in IPAs, along with the obligatory posters T-shirts and fanny packs.

If I'm paying $23 to park Under the Kennedy Center they better guarantee something. I got there about 5:15 from my 5:30 tickets, and it was not a problem unless you wanted to go to some of the indoor stuff. And then I just waited around till a a few people came out and then they let a few people in for the Alice Coltrane tribute. De La Soul may bring out a few more people, however. I'm going to check the weather before doing anything though.

I generally have a rule that I won't leave for a show until after the kids are ready for bed (there are exceptions here and there), so usually it's not a big deal.  But I have caught some daggers if he's too many in a row or week, but mostly because most of our time to hang out together are after the kids are in their rooms.  For the most part, though, she's a saint with it.

the "downtown strip" of our little town (all 3 blocks of it), 10 minutes away, has a thai restaurant that has open mic night on thursdays ;D   last time i walked past it a teenager was strumming a guitar and murdering the cranberries' "zombie".  it was horrifying and comforting at the same time.

My man, loves me . . . and loves when I get the hell out of his hair, to go to a show.  I prefer to go alone.  He hates concerts.  Too many people, for him.  I prefer having all the awesomeness, to myself.

with no traffic, we can be in seattle in 40-45 minutes.
so does that mean traveling to Seattle at 3AM?
Seattle traffic in my experience can be brutal

traffic is brutal, but avoid rush hour and there is a good chance (but no guarantee) it'll be manageable.  also, going into seattle = going against commuters.  so making a 8 p.m. show = 40-45 minutes.  making 9 a.m. start of shift: up to 2 hours.

  Massive Attack's setlist is a little odd....
so they are doing a bunch of covers that I guess were used in the samples?
I was listening to Mezzannine this morning and was thinking at one part...this sounds just like 10:15 Saturday Night
and come to find that's one of the covers they are doing

wonder if they do the whole song as a band or a DJ just plays the track?

Great query.   I go to more and more comedy and put those in the movie/theater category, rather than concerts.   Gets confusing since they're often at music venues.       I have similar quandry with EDM/dj's and whether that's in a show count (not dj  night in a club, but at a Moonrise sorta thing)

The first beer was free if you wore your Nats gear. I picked the most expensive beer in the house. They were also passing out free peanuts and cracker jacks. They were in a Safeway bag behind the bar. You had to ask for them. They also kicked everyone out and closed after the top of the 7th, even though they had said on social media that they were going to be open the duration of the game. Like the woman behind me muttered "What the fuck?"

I'm glad I saw them a bunch when I did. My favorite time is still when they opened for Belle and Sebastian in 2002, nobody knew they were opening, and there were like 40 people watching them and they shredded a bunch of the new songs from "One Beat". I still respect/like them, but they lost my favorite member and it's just not going to be the same. That being said, people that I know that have seen them lately say they're still great...just different.

I thought of coming up for S-K but like, apparently everyone else on here, the new album is such a turnoff. No issue with it being at Anthem because what venue a concert is at only impacts people who are trying to pass off their performative contrarianism as a sign of intelligence, but between the new album and the loss of a member, I can't be convinced to come even at the low ticket price.

Saw them enough times in their (near) prime.

When is DC getting a Hold Steady residency?
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: challenged on December 06, 2019, 08:53:08 am
When is DC getting a Hold Steady residency?

From what I have heard,* the band would be happy to do such, but these residencies are initiated by a club, or a promoter, and no one who books or promotes shows from DC or Baltimore areas has put together an offer.


*from a quick conversation with Craig.


I have thought about this, and I think it should be in Baltimore, and should be the following sequence of shows.

Wednesday: Living Room show at Club603 where Craig has played solo and with his other project
Thursday: Ottobar show
Friday: Ottobar show
Saturday: Big outdoor show at Union Brewing or Guiness (who can pay enough to underwrite the whole weekend)

Not at all. DC shows for THS and for Craig solo are always well attended I think.

I believe that they are looking for package deals that guaranty the band a good payday, for a 3 or 4 night run, and have their fans treated well in a single city, so that once in town, no need to rent cars or otherwise travel from city to city.... Just hang out and explore the city, etc.  They are not booking tours, these are residencies. When I talked to Craig, he mentioned that multiple nights at 930 would work well. I just like game-planning my Baltimore idea...

On a much smaller scale, of course.  Obviously these are very young musicians trying to find their way in the jammy/psychedelic music scene.  For the most part it felt very improvisatory/jazzy with some Meat Puppets thrown in as opposed to the folkier Grateful Dead orientation. Just wondering...

Yeah... I get it, can't compare somewhat of a garage band to a band playing arenas... but at any rate, didn't get a Phish vibe from them at all other than the fact that their songs were long.

I'm admittedly not familiar with their catalog, but every song seemed like an improv odyssey and they could probably benefit with a bit better vocals and a few polished five minute rockers. At any rate, I'd see them again, but I think they're more in the camp of what you said around Meat Puppets/Yo La Tengo/Ryley Walker/Chris Forsyth/Steve Gunn vs a hippie jamband.

There's actually already been cases specifically here in York going back to January, and I believe another 30 cases diagnosed all over the country just in the last 24 hours. Meh, so blase about it myself.

Would have been at 15 tonight with Algiers, but am punting on that.  So 15 will be on Saturday if the hobo house show happens.

For historical comparison purposes, last year when I got to 95 shows, I was at my 15th show on March 17th, so was certainly on track.

Challenged's quest for 100 shows this year may be snuffed pretty quickly.

Sending vibes

Would have been at 15 tonight with Algiers, but am punting on that.  So 15 will be on Saturday if the hobo house show happens.

For historical comparison purposes, last year when I got to 95 shows, I was at my 15th show on March 17th, so was certainly on track.

Thanks for thinking of me Yada, Hutch for the encouragement, and Vas for storing my Wye Oak poster another week or 2.

no beer brewing?

not really :(  got one brew day in the first weekend of the lock-down: the imperial stout that's about to be transferred into a whiskey barrel.  but a brew day = abandoning the kids to the missus for most of the day, and she's already doing a ton of childcare, so it's a hard sell.  that being said, just yesterday she was dissatisfied with the current beer selection in the house and asked me if i had everything needed to make an IPA, so fingers crossed maybe there's another brew on the horizon...

I know who Winston Chang is!

The great thing about having a 12 year old is you can put them to working helping you brew the beer, and they don't help drink the results. We actually got her to do some nice homeschool work last week, but today she's back to goofing off. Ungraded distance learning starts April 14. I'm glad my kid is a middle schooler and not in high school.

We bottled the "mild" raspberry sour I was asking about a while back. Thinking it will be a nice summer refresher. Also had a bottle of the quad I bottled maybe a month ago...after nine days it was super boozy but after a month it's starting to taste nice.

I never commented when you were talking about that sour, but you when straight to graduate level stuff with the Sour's and Quads
Haven't even considered that stuff.  I'm still unable to make a drinkable DIPA (although I've been know to drink my mistakes, I just make sure never to share those batches)

and getting your 12 yr old to help (with out $$) ...I can barely get mine to do their homework and get the laundry in the basket
Although there are very few steps I feel I need help with, I could never imaging getting them to sanitize the bottles or clean out the fermenter

Ah thanks, don't give me too much credit though. Both were just extract kits bought of or Northern Brewer. The quad is supposed to be a copy of Westy 12, so I figured if it's half as good as the real thing it's probably on par with most American quads. And the fruited sour...just a kettled slightly soured witbier. Definitely isn't going to complete with Joose from the Answer.

I figure no way am I going to come anywhere near the Other Half beers in my fridge so I haven't done a hoppy beer in a long time.

And to be honest, I exaggerate my 12 year old's help. She did help me once, when her mom wasn't home and she saw I really, realty needed help with something and I probably bribed her with something. :)

Exactly!  My wife has offered to pay my daughter good amounts of money just to do her basic house chores, and she still refuses. Why should she? She knows her mom will take her on shopping sprees every other weekend regardless if she does anything or not.

I remember when I was a kid, I was shoveling cow manure for pay far less than the minimum wage. All while being forced to listen to Joe Diffie. And I didn't have the option to refuse. Sigh.

Was WIllie as packed as Ryan?

only Sidehatch can tell us...

I didn't think it was that bad... I made it up front on the left side then midway went up front on the right side...

but Willie didn't sign my record or anything...usually at end of show he signs a bunch of stuff from stage......boo.

At least I met Paul (Me: "Hey you look like you belong what's your name?", Paul: "Paul"...for those that don't know about Paul English he's a tough guy... Willie's longtime "enforcer") and Billy English and Mickey Raphael... Also I got interviewed by ROadhouse or Willies Roadhouse channel on Sirius for a good 5-10 minutes before the show...... I don't listen to Sirius or radio but my voice may be out there waxing poetically about Willie...


I think I just learned Paul English died February 2020

I went to the new Songbyrd location last night near Union Market for Indigo De Souza.   This new location cuts my commute by 25 minutes (old location was in Adams Morgan), has better sightlines, better sound, and plenty of free street parking. The only problem is that there's hardly any shows I want to see there in the near future...

And for the pregamers in the crowd, only a five minute drive from Other Half DC.

It was OK. I'd seen them before -- if you've seen them once, you've seen them in 2021. My wife makes an emotional connection between The Funeral and something in her life so that's moreso why I turn up seeing Band of Horses every 18 months when they play The National.

The opener girl -- Faline -- was actually really good. On Spotify.

TAN: get your flu shots, folks.  it's extra important this year, given that we essentially didn't have a flu season last year (thanks, pandemic!) so our collective immunity to influenza is a little lower this year.  having a case of the flu also makes you more vulnerable to the coronavirus...

There's an easy way to know if you have a mature parasite living in your digestive tract. Take a drink of water. If you can feel it go all the way down your esophagus, you're fine. If you can't feel it beyond your throat, your parasite is waiting inside your chest, mouth open, swallowing all your water.

just like Space not needing to attend a show to tell you whether it's was good or not, actually doing the thing in question is not a prerequisite for Jules to have a strong opinion about it.

I'm going to cut the baby in half: Iceage and Spirit of the Beehive are legitimately popular bands with sizable followings and publicity (and in the latter case, also a great film about the last days of Franco's regime, but I'm digressing . . . ), Sunflower Bean is iffy, but Gully Boys and Nation of Language are fairly obscure. Not killsaly level obscure, but yeah.

Re: walkOnBy

According to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you can exit isolation five days after a positive test or the start of symptoms, so long as your symptoms are improving and you keep wearing a mask around others an additional five days.

I will say masks at concerts definitely make me not want to go and 100% make me not buy drinks.  I know it's the world we lived in (hopefully we are on the other side of this)
And clearly, while you hate people, it's a mild hate that is still concerned for their well being, so that's progress

I will say, I went to Goose (pretty boring show) last week, not to be confused with Geese. There were probably seven people wearing masks, approximately 97% men in attendance, very high rate of pear shaped bodies.

For the first time in 20+ years, I actually went to the basement bar and had a beer during the show. It was quite nice... that show actually encouraged me to sell my Spoon tickets. I don't think I ever want to attend a sold out 930 club show again (after animal collective).

I know I'm beatin a dead horse still talking about this, but I'm really wishing I had bought a Richmond (still not sold out) Spoon ticket like I had planned, instead of a 9:30 ticket.

I once spent part of a show drinking in the basement bar. It was a Medeski, Martin, and Wood show that a hippie girlfiend dragged me to. (She saw that I was less than thrilled with the show and granted me permission to go downstairs.)

They sounded great

I only caught 2 high kicks, bob was having a great time
pounding beers and drinking tequila straight from the bottle

Hutch claimed that Bobby Bare Jr might actually be GBV parsley, and honestly, I couldn't argue that was not a fact after keeping an eye on him for most of the show

it was probably 60% capacity in the club...which was fine with me
Made sure to pick up some merch to support the boys

Apparently NKOTB was spotted at the show

On a sad note, found out right before the show started, one of our friends (who was at the ottobar show last year) died unexpectedly two days prior
after the show, some of them met up with GBV and got the whole band to sign an LP in honor of our fallen friend

Whoever was throwing beers on the floor should be waterboarded.

I only counted Uncle Bob drink 4 beers.  He had one swig from the tequila bottle in the beginning of show, handed bottle to crowd and never took another drink from that bottle.  As such the show was a much less sloppy mess by the end compared to the last show I saw at the Ottobar.

I agree with that….. they sounded good and Bob was more with it.. he gave a shout out to the club calling it the best in this country..I know he feels that way cause he even mentions it when he plays the black cat

I wasn’t familiar with the songs from their last three albums… I bought all the LPs at merch …their last copies they brought on this trip to Philly and DC

The sound guy, Travis Harrison, is really a member of the band …I explained about our friend who passed away that morning and had tickets for show..and he was shocked and took record and got it signed and dedicated but thinking about it the next day maybe it was a silly thing to ask but Andrew would have dug it and he was on our minds.. just to drop dead out of the blue…a single dad too…ugh…a really great guy…I was not close with him but my two friends at the show were and they are devastated

Getting older sucks…it’s watching everyone you care for battling and dying…but it sure beats the alternative…my mom has a lot of older friends and they die all the time! She makes new friends and then they die…pfft

After having seen them 17 times I have reached the point I don’t need to hear Tractor Rape Chain (the song that reeled me into GBV) or I am a scientist again…some of the songs they play them every single time

It means he doesn’t add much flavor up there…all the heavy lifting on guitar is done by Doug…Bobby is almost there for the “hang”…. Maybe he contributes more on the records? There are times up there he literally is not playing anything. Other times he doubles up whatever Doug is doing (and yeah that “fattens” up the sound)….they could cut him from the band and I think it would sound fine… at least that’s my impression but he must be doing something orno way Bob would keep him on the clock…their profit margins can’t be large

Well NKOTB seemed well… I resisted the urge to say something catty about Bernie given Joe had just fallen off his bike…and more importantly been videod falling

Starting to think Biden is done put a fork in him…But if he doesn’t run it’s not that simple for whoever becomes nominee….Kamala will be viewed as a part of his failing presidency as would Pete… those are probably the two most likely options….I would be tempted to support Pete in that bruising primary

Bernie can run but given all focus on Biden being too old seems like a bad option to me

Honestly I would like Pete vs Trump…stay out of trouble Pete

Went to the King Tut exhibit at the National Geographic Museum.  It was quite a bit of cool, interesting information, and I guess worth the visit if you actually take the time to read everything on all walls and displays there.  The immersive part was pretty great, but it could have been additional overall and more than just one room for the immersive.  Was it worth 20 dollars?  Yeah, for the money all went to a good cause.  Interesting "museum" which is basically one floor of an multi floor office building, but pretty nice architecture.  Plus, some interesting places to eat in the area, if you look.

the Nat Geo museum is an odd ball.  They often have some really nice stuff, but it's small and seems weird to pay $20 per person to go to tiny museum when most in DC are free.  They must like only getting a few 100 people a day I guess?

Banksy was AWESOME.  Stay away from VIP.  We got suckered into thinking it would be something great.  You get a dumb poster, and the worst VIP area at the end you have ever seen. I thought the 3 "what is love" dancing guys from the old SNL sketch would jump out.

Yup per Instagram he is drinking those PBR’s in the bushes outside a beer hall in Austria.

Can anyone confirm if there's a whole foods bar in Austria that pours hazy ipas?

Roxy Music Friday?

$9 nosebleeds on stubhub plus charges I think so based on my calculations if you buy two tickets in the 400s it works out to $16 per ticket

Will they free upgrade is the question ?

I guess I am spoilt but the 400s blow…and I am not good at moving down…I will get caught and busted! I think I look guilty of something bad…I blame my poor slouchy posture and the fact I am guilty of something bad

I'm confused about Roxy...as I just looked at the Ticketbastard site...they have almost zero 400 seats for sale  (litterly only section 414 row G two seats)
the floor is nearly sold out too...which was not the case only a few weeks ago.  Maybe there was a massive marketing push to old white dudes??

I assume they upgraded people to lower seats
the venue looks 80% now...but I bet that's not really the case
They must have given out thousands of tickets to non-profits and such (who I'm sure were like, who the fuck is roxy music?)

I heard More than this got played on some Netflix show and it drove ticket sales…. I hear a lot

The reality is the good tickets seem to be holding value and are hard to get

The 400s nobody wants and there are a shit ton on stubhub for $10

I would be fine paying $100 for a great seat up close. None available. No interest in seeing them from the boonies.

So tonight’s Roxy Music show people apparently got moved from 300s to 100s


I think they stopped selling 400s for DC show cause they plan to close it off and move people down so buying a ticket for the 400s on stubhub may be a good play…

Yes, 400. One of the first letters of the alphabet, which I think is the best you can do for the 400's (?)

I don't know anything about upgrades. Isn't that just Hutch hearsay from the Toronto show at this point? If they did upgrade, how would one know which 100 seats are paid for already and which are not?

Hearsay? It’s multiple people saying they were upgraded in Toronto. It will happen at the venue when you get there. I wouldn’t bet on being upgraded to the floor though.. more like 200s…maybe

Caught it in Georgetown. One of the loudest theater-going experiences in my life. The first half is extremely indulgent (and yes, I understand it's representative of his meteoric rise and the craze surrounding his early career). I momentarily considered walking out. Glad I didn't though as it becomes far more relaxed and quite enjoyable in the 2nd half.

Overall recommend, but tolerance may vary.

New Order is pretty much my favorite band. And Pet Shop Boys not that far behind….and Paul Oakenfold is God. It’s quite the bill really…can’t wait..it’s going to be sick

Only minus is I will not be getting backstage or getting my records signed…dispiriting

Oh and I had an extra pit ticket cause my partner said no go and the two people I reached out to blew me off even though it was free. I listed it on stubhub but am feeling kind of down… I need new and younger friends. Anyways I will be flying solo…say hi

I picked the worst week to go on vacation. For the right price, I would have chosen to see New Order/PSB, Father John Misty, DCFC, and Laufey.

But instead I'll be hiking in the Southwest.

U should've sold the pit ticket to me....I saw a pit ticket this morning priced at $90 but couldn't justify with the additional $35 stubhub fee.  Was that your ticket?

Yeah…I will be going. Only been looking forward to this for two and a half years and will be in the pit right up front!!

New Order is pretty much my favorite band. And Pet Shop Boys not that far behind….and Paul Oakenfold is God. It’s quite the bill really…can’t wait..it’s going to be sick

Only minus is I will not be getting backstage or getting my records signed…dispiriting

Oh and I had an extra pit ticket cause my partner said no go and the two people I reached out to blew me off even though it was free. I listed it on stubhub but am feeling kind of down… I need new and younger friends. Anyways I will be flying solo…say hi

Going all out this week..

New Order/Pet Shop Boys
Yola (whose song "Diamond Studded Shoes" is seriously stuck in my head at the moment)
Heaven 17

Anyone know what the deal is on parking for NO/PSB neither Lot A or B are available on ticketmaster and the others two lots aren't an option.  Looks like they never updated it from the postponement..

I was thinking of parking at the mall…. Is this a bad idea?
Title: Re: This week rollcall
Post by: kosmo vinyl on September 21, 2022, 07:55:41 am
If you look at the parking map Area B is the outer part of the mall where the office buildings are and Area A is in close to the venue.

The problem it appears is that if you follow the link from the Merriweather site to get the parking pass for this show it shows both Area's are sold out.  I think it's because the page for the parking passes is still marked as the event being postponed and they never updated it.

If you look at remaining events you can still get at least Area B for those show, so I think for tonight's show unless you got the pass when the show went on sale, you can't now.

Having never been to MPP since they changed all the parking up there, I have no idea if they even check for parking passes or just check to see if you have a ticket.

No clue on whether or not you can park at the mall other than what's outlined on their website.

https://merriweathermusic.com/parking/

Looks like Area C & D are only used for festivals..

one of the plans is to hit Mom's Spaghetti x 8 Mile Pop-Up in Soho Saturday.

Any recommended must do in the City (that a 13yr old can do too)

Did the BK bridge in the spring and it was nice...can't recall if there's a separate area for bikes, but if not,  would be a cluster. 

There's a great park under the bridge to hang out in as well.

I would have to imagine there will be tix available. There is generally a price increase day off but it’s usually $2-5 so an out of towner isn’t going to save some cash by buying ahead of time and paying fees. Message me if you’re going and want to get a drink before hand if the fam isn’t coming. (Because I know Celeste is not down to meet people, not because I am opposed to meeting her.)

Yes, not that recently though. Last summer I went to see Brennen Leigh, got there after she'd already started and had no problem getting a ticket at the Box Office. It probably just depends on who the act is/how popular they are.

The mail just came. Netflix shipped Cocaine Bear to me on Monday. It used to take two days to  get a dvd. Now it apparently takes five or more.

Since I didn't get the Cocaine Bear dvd to watch tonight, I think the show is up to 50/50.

Sorry it's been a while.

Went to Caroline Rose on Friday. Was my third time seeing them and loved the performance of the new album. It's a shame Superstar was released in 2020 and we missed hearing those songs (for now?)

US Girls and Jane, Inc. at Union Stage were arty and fun.

BTS last night was fantastic.

Anyone planning on Pinback next week? Have never seen them before.

most that are close start at $225 before fees and taxes

I think the move would be, getting something a few miles out, like Extended Stay America Suites Columbia Columbia Parkway
that's $110 for just one bed, or $135 for two queens   You could just get an uber to take you there and take you back (although that would probably end up costing another $50)

No, but it makes me wonder if that's where they got their name from.

https://youtu.be/Bqgsikd6fcA

The singer is a bonafide hobo rocker.

Around 2007, Segarra became a part of the Dead Man Street Orchestra, a hobo band that was documented in a photo essay by Time Magazine in 2007. Segarra traveled with the group for two years, releasing two independent albums and embarking on freight train tours across the country.

You are correct and with a little more research I found out the movie is Barbie, not Barnie. Though she's pink too, I think.

I think it was this. Full disclosure, the link was pushed to me via some algorithm.

https://wrrv.com/corey-taylor-three-new-rock-metal-bands-carrying-flag-heavy-music/

But, ahem, "What does Corey Taylor think" about the current state of rock and metal, and which bands are exciting him the most?

"Turnstile are fucking amazing. Sleep Token are really starting to do something for me, and Bad Omens are great. There’s a whole new generation of bands that are starting to come up that are carrying the flag for heavy music," the rocker enthused.

I think they were like $50...so pretty close to $60 after fees....you sound like space, when did you become such a cheapskate


I didn't know this
Lyte prices are based on fair market value and may be higher than original prices if there are significantly more requests than tickets. However, Lyte's prices are always lower than third-party websites. Lyte technology drives prices back to the original value.


So fair market is not a clear term and they state it might be higher
News to me

Also, I think IMP doesn't get a cut from Lyte, but I'm just guessing
They do need to get paid somehow though

FTR, tix on seekgeek are $38 with fees (so being sold for $24)

can always drive /park near venue close to showtime and get tix from vividseats for cheapppp

we did that for Eddie Izzard last week and got $17 tickets in the Orch.

tix are still holding for PG, so I think there are going to be a few people there
although looking at TM, only about 70% of the seats sold

good to know about vivid
I always get annoyed you can't buy tix on the resellers (seat/stub) after showtime

I'd miss 4-5 songs of a show to get in for $25

For 73.5 that’s pretty darn good…and usually when one is actually there it all works much better

I mean compare him to Phil Collins or some others his age

There is only one Mick Jagger

I think the Who and Roxy Music managed to acquit themselves pretty well in their most recent appearances. Perhaps I like their music better than Gabriel though.

I know we all get old, but he looks like a goof with the bald head, pudgy body, and whatever you want to call his outfit. I bet Rhett Miller will still look 37.5 when he's 73.5.

I'll tell that to my wife, who "hates" live music. And often makes it so miserable that I prefer to go by myself (or meet others there, when I'm lucky.)

Then she proceeds to say that there's no way I'm actually going to all those shows (like two or three a month, often less)....I must be having an affair. As if women (or men) are lining up to sleep with a 56 year old guy with long thinning hair (this is DC, not Boulder), a paunch, a salary in the low 100's, and a dick that doesn't work like it did 30 years ago.

Post by: Space Freely on October 16, 2023, 04:41:20 pm
@space, did you go to Toby Dog?

Yes. They were a trio with the Dr. Dog keyboardist Zach Miller and Patrick Berkery (War on Drugs, Pernice Brothers, bunch of other acts) on drums. They played two Dr. Dog songs (Buzzing in the Light, can't remember the other one but it's one I don't really like) The rest was his solo stuff. Show was ok. I much preferred the Scott McMicken show (o ne of my favorite shows of the year) because:

1. I generally liked his songs more in Dr. Dog. So I probably just like him more in general.
2. He had a much larger, more interesting band.
3. I had heard, gotten to know and liked the McMicken record, I haven't heard the Toby solo stuff.
4. I think McMicken's solo stuff is more varied and interesting. The Toby solo stuff just sounded like a trio doing Dr. Dog rejects.

Great to see you see! Super fun show...my getup was hot as balls, but in the end I got a lot of positive feedback. Glad I wore it. The Hives always put on a great show. About 2 songs too brief, but still crazy fun.

8 PM doors +2 openers is probably 11 to 1130 by my math, or black cat to push things back more than that to try to keep people in there to 1:30-2?

sounds accurate
I'd say the first band starts at 9, and Tuscadero is on by 9:45-10 and plays 45-60 mins, with VG going on between 11-11:330
my guess is it will be all done by 1AM
but you may get more deets after the Friday show

may arrive late, but see you in the pit

Report back! We never got a report on Basinski….missing it broke my heart

i'm not sure that request was for me, but here goes anyways: t'was absolutely brilliant.  best live comedy i've ever seen.  good comedy is more than just jokes, it should make you think, feel, question, cringe... jimmy did all of that.  he is amazing at improv (protip: don't heckle him unless you're prepared to be destroyed... he murdered three loudmouths last night).  i was a tad worried that after 25 years of touring he'd be jaded, phoning it in, doing the same old routines, etc - newp, last night was as fresh and heart-felt as any of his past stuff i've seen (recorded).  jimmy carr is now on my must-see list, i'll be catching him whenever he's in town.  protip2: if you do have an opportunity to catch his show, don't bring someone who is unfamiliar with his stuff and/or isn't a fan of blue and black humor.  the couple sitting to my left were on a date and the lady was not enjoying herself... she stuck it out but she clearly doesn't believe that sacred cows make the tastiest hamburgers.  pretty sure the date was over after that ;D

he doesn't have any currently listed dates in the DC area.  he'll be in atlantic city in april, as well as the carolinas and pittsburgh around then, but nothing closer.  but he's constantly touring so it's just a matter of time.  highly recommended.

Due to the intricacies of the Madonna production, Tuesday’s show will begin past the ticketed start time of 8:30 PM. Please plan your evening’s travel and surrounding details accordingly.

Please be aware that the show may run past when the last train is expected to leave the Gallery Place station. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the Gallery Place train schedule and rider guide HERE before the show.

Interpol tomorrow

Managed to go all 3 nights, thanks to a kind friend who hooked me up. All three were great and special for different reasons. Night 1 might be my favorite, but night 2 had a bunch of great songs not played either night, and night 3 was a really solid performance. Beautiful lighting, great sound, and positive vibes all around.

As an aside, I had a lot of emotional moments thanks to conversations I had with folks over the last few evenings, and also because of Interpol's stellar performances. I'm going to take a moment to highlight the hard work, dedication, and commitment that the crew put into making each show something special. A huge part of that is what the 9:30 does to ensure that happens. Consummate professionalism. They treat the band and crew with respect and enable them to do their work to make each night special. It is so easy to take for granted, but that's why after decades some of these folks are still doing what they're doing. They put their hearts and souls into their jobs, and it isn't easy work. Also, I couldn't help but get a little misty thinking of some of the people I've known at the 9:30 over the years who aren't with us anymore. I've got many, many memories attached to the space and the last few nights were reminders of how much fun I've had, how many memorable things I've seen, but how grateful I am for the friends I've made and people I've met. So many good ones are still with us, and I'm thankful for that. Really loved these shows and glad I got to see them. It's a good time of year to reflect on what makes concerts special, and the value they have given to my life. For me it's far more than just for the fun of seeing a show.

He didn’t play a ton of the new album

 he had like a video screen in the background and similar how MTV used to list the name of the song (and collaborators) and the year that came out
He’s pulled from material from all his different projects. 


Show is quite fun

Not really a concert, but I am still excited.

The Travel and Adventure Show at the Convention Center

Saturday and Sunday

be careful down there.

Cat Power

Is it dangerous, inside the convention center . . . and what does the power of cats have to do, with anything?

Show was enjoyable. But his solo shows are skippable. Crowd was geriatric but genial. And that's something, coming from me.

Someone on Facebook said Old 97's East Coast tour is in the Fall (new album out in April.)

respecting someone's wishes is trumped by your respect for the concept of the english language?  we mangle the english language on the daily.  drawing a line at trans pronouns seems like a cop-out that attempts to hide something deeper... but that is my opinion/perception, to be clear.  my father-in-law can't deal with pronouns either, but that's because he's old and doesn't do well with change - he honestly want to respect everyone but can't seem to change his manner of speech.

I said I respect her right to call herself whatever she wants. Clearly, she can. I'm not telling her she can't.

 But don't create rules to force me to use language that I'm not comfortable with and get all judgey about it.. If you do, you're just as bad as a creepy conservative forcing their rules on me and getting all judgey about it.

For the record, Americans are pretty split on using gender neutral pronouns. And you shaming them is not going to change their minds.

It is apparently more important to protect the sanctity of the language than it is to respect other people's identity. I didn't realize Space has been such a lifelong hardcore prescriptivist. I bet he bristles whenever the OED releases their "new words of the year" list.

I thought I was gonna make a snarky remark about "adulting" not being in The OED (as in "thankfully,..."), but it is! >:( It dates back just over 100 years.

1909 intransitive verb. To become, be, or behave as an adult; (now) esp. to carry out the mundane or everyday tasks that are a necessary part of adult life…

1921 noun. The action or process of becoming, being, or behaving as an adult; (now) esp. the carrying out of the mundane or everyday tasks that are a necessary…

While the English language does not have a unique gender-neutral third-person singular pronoun, they has been used to identify singular persons in speech, popular literature, and dictionary reference materials since at least the 12th century. In fact, singular use of  they has been officially recognized as correct  by several key bodies such as the Associated Press, American Psychological Association (APA)  and Modern Language Association (MLA), the Oxford English Dictionary, and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

wouldn't that be "it"?

he walks, she walks, it walks?

not that anyone would want to be referred to as "it", IMO...

According to the internet, some actually do prefer "it."

Maybe Kim Gordon if I can find a ticket.

Mclusky. Been like 21 years since I last (and only)  time I saw them, for free at the Velvet Lounge. They were giving out free beer too for some reason?

That was a 930 Board Classic...all of our old friends were there. Markie. Lulu. Jadetree. Kurosawa. Thirsty. Probably more.

Despite the rumor Markie started, I didn't not go home with kurosawa.
