well I went and I thought The Undertones were great - most fun I've had at a gig in ages - never having seen the original incarnation live I have nothing to compare it to but they all looked like they were having a blast up there
 
 funny crowd, aging punks, young wanna be punks and everyone in between - there was a kid with this big studded leather jacket on and every time someone bumped into him in the pit you could see the confusion on his face "hey, he just bumped into me and I'm a punk godammit - should I deck him?"

hhhmmmm, I missed both shows on Saturday.  I was all tuckered out and just didn't have the drive to motivate myself.  Glad the Undertones was fun, Brennser...
 
 Saw Metropolitan and the Rosebuds last night; really liked the Rosebuds.  And the Warehouse is a cool space.  No smoking!!  (Thank god I quite last summer...)

The undertones were fun. I scoff at reunion shows, but still keep going to see them. It is even more derisable when the band is lacking their frontman. I mean would you really want to see the doors without Jim?
 
 But if you squinted your eyes, had an extra pint, were open to having a good time. Then there was certainly plenty of enjoyment to be had.
 
 They played two of my favourite songs, teenage kicks and my perfect cousin, and it was a treat to hear them live. Something I thought I would never do.
 
 And Brennser cannot finish his pints.

I am quite certain I wouldn't want to see the Doors WITH Jim.

Lets see,
 
 Yep Brennser left at least half a pint behind, after cajoling me to have one last  drink. We were some of the last people in the bar though....
 
 
 And I thought all of you would have love to see Jim get his meaty manhood out on stage? Why are Americans so down on the doors?

Hey, you forgot that Markie's the board member you don't want to go to a show with -- all that heckling and head bobbing and superior carriage...
 
 Plus, now we know he tattles.  
 
 And wasn't he just having mucous problems?    <img src="http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/sneeze2.gif" alt=" - " />

Next thing you know, you'll say you're listening to a Merle Haggard cd, as I am now.

I caught the Bigger Lovers/Endochine/4 Way Street show at Iota. Bigger Lovers sounded great. However, they lost me on the last three songs. They blended together. 4 Way, first time seeing them. They do sound like the Eagles. Endochine ended up going on last. They have great energy, vocals, and stage presence. They also played at Black Cat last Wednesday where there was a Grohl sighting..
