They were last week. They were good, but I enjoyed their acoustic show at the 9:30 a couple years back much more. There new stuff seems a bit heavier than their old stuff, but since I had only seen them acousticly it was diffeent experience for me. Smackette loved them, so it was probably a great show (she had never seen them before and didn't have the Acoustic show bias that I had).
I only own "Just Enough Education to Perform" so the new stuff (which I don't own, but listened to on their web site) was much more drawn out Brit rock and less Brit pop. This isn't a knock on the show, because it was good, and they're really talented (their Beatles cover was amazing) I just was so impressed by thier acoustic show that it would be tough for them to come close to that in my eyes. I would defineitely see them again.
I also saw Social D the night before and Ness came out and did an acoustic trubute to Johnny Cash doing his Cowboy punk thing. It was great. And yes Rhett, he did Ring of Fire and got the first verse wrong. Again.
We have Supergrass/Radiohead tonight. I'm looking forward to Supergrass. I saw them a couple of months ago in Anaheim at a warm up show for this tour and thought they were unbelieveable. Hopefully Smackette will wake me up when Radiohead is over. I watched their $2 Bill show over the weekend to see if maybe I was missing something in not being excited about the show. Nope, it's not me. It's their melodies that are missing as you have so eloquently pointed out over the years.
And Jag, I'm sorry to let you down (frankly, I let myself down) but we missed the Grandaaddy/Super Furry Animals/Elbow show last week do to another engagement that was horribly boring and Smackette has not heard the end of it yet. Women. Kill em all. That's what I say.
