Agreed. Originally I thought the vocals were pretty low in the mix for BRMC. Looking back, I realized that was done on purpose. Great show!

Just got in from Baltimore (stayed overnight)...another great Twilight Singers show. It was a tight set, much of the setlist from the ATL show was played, but in a different order. Danced my ass off, ran into someone I knew in college and had a great time overall. Philly, here I come!

Well, I pretty much agree too.  The Rapture was fun and it was good beats but they are just kind of silly. I didnt know two of them were from Silver Spring, maybe thats why they are so wierd.
   Then, there is nothing silly whatsoever about BRMC. I saw them at HFStival in 2002 or 2001 and they were ok, but now they are just kick ass.
 
    very very good show by them and the singer/bassist is very talented, and the girls liked him too  :)
 
    my ears are ringing today. (probably because i was 2 feet from the speakers)

Damn! I just missed meeting Samantha and Sonick. Oh, well. We'll have to be more organized next time.
 
 Yes, had a blast!!! I noticed that Peter's guitar was out of tune a few times but they mangaged to play right through it and still come off great.
 
 BTW, there were 3 hot men onstage, not just Robert. I'm sure that Samantha will agee with me.   :D  Okay, so it just happened to be in the set.

where were you, sonick?  for the first half we were right by the speakers on the right.  yes jag all three are hot, except my favourite is Peter.  although last night I was more attracted by the guy next to me than the ones on stage  :D
 
 was nick the one djing?  I should have guessed, he was in the booth most of the night.  my bf was loving it.
 
 I didn't get to talk to any of them, which kinda bummed me out. my ex brought robert out to say hi, cause they wouldn't let me backstage with the black X's on my hands for being underage, but then all these fans went up to him for autographs, so literally "hi" is all we got to say.  oh well.  funny how no one came up to him before the show when he was out in the audience, but afterwards they recognize him.  I now wish I had given up my space up front to chat with him.  I ended up leaving the front from heat & aching feet anyways.  I love how nice they all are to their fans.
 
 we enjoyed the rapture.  they had an awesome vibe, got everyone dancing.  I've never seen a cowbell rawked out like that.
 
 starlite desperation were good, except all their songs sounded the same.  got boring after awhile.  they were semi-hot.  mick jagger was cute.  they had nice butts, which I got a nice view of while sitting on the floor in the back during BRMC.

Well, I'm sort of assuming that Nick was deejaying because he was pretty busy at the board after their set and appeared to be the one at the controls.
 
 I did get to talk with Nick and Robert for about a minute each. Made a night that was really already made. Later on I was outside shooting the breeze with my friend when Peter happened to walk by (but a few feet away). We just happened to glance in each other's direction at the same time. He did a double-take and got a big smile on his face, waved to me and softly yelled over "Thanks for coming." <sigh> I love them all.
 
 You know, I find it rather funny that all the journalists (especially the NME) seem to go out of their way to mention how difficult and brooding they are to have to interview. Ironically, all of the fans always make a point of mentioning how nice they are. Maybe that is more telling of music journalists than of the band.

I went to the Twilight show.  It was okay, nothing compared to the show they did at the black cat a few months back.  Greg didn't tell any crazy stories... or even talk for that matter.  The last show was also about twice as long.  However, they did do the whigs encore, which is why i was there, so i guess that makes up for it... Somethin' Hot, Uptown Again and FADED!

I forgot to mention that I have decided that Baltimore has much more "fun" audiences than DC does. Especially the Black Cat, i just want to smack everyone there. But i think Baltimore is a litle more fun.  just me

i always have a good time at shows in balmer. . .fletchers is cool because after the show, you can go to the downstairs bar. . .and if you are staying in balmer overnight, you can get natty-boh to go.

Ding ding DING!
 
 I was at Recher last night to see Adam Green and Phantom Planet. The audience were really into it.
 
 I think the blackcat has better audiences than some other DC clubs though.

markie you should have gone to see BRMC.
 
 I rarely go to baltimore, it's sooo far.  but I loved the Recher.  that was my first time there.  (btw, how the fuck do you pronounce it?)
 being from virginia, I actually prefer Maryland.  more places to go at night and two cities to chose from.  not to mention all of my friends live there.
 
 I don't remember if there was a point to me posting a reply.  I forgot what I was going to say
