Trespassers William (first ever east coast tour)
The Czars
Thursday November 16
DC9
$10
Correction: Second East Coast tour. They opened for Explosions In The Sky at The Ottobar in Baltimore about 3 years ago. Don't remember the rest of the tour but it may very well have included a DC date. [/b]
Really? Says on their website it is their first east coast tour. Maybe the Explosions show was just a short run? Either way, they told us it is their first DC show. Which means you should all come check them out... very cool band. [/b]
Yes, they have definitely been here. In fact, after thinking about it, I'm pretty sure they played DC the night after Baltimore but can't fully swear to that part. Kind of think it may have been at the Black Cat but not positive of the exact venue. In fact, it was just about this time of year too. If I do enough scrounging around on my computer, I can probably find out the date almost exactly since I first heard them only about a day or so
after they played the Baltimore/DC area. Boy, was I seriously pissed at myself for missing that show especially considering that I was only minutes away from going!
Also, they played New York about a year or two ago on their way over to do a short tour of the UK. Technically, not an East Coast tour but a stop over on the way to Europe.
If they are saying that, than I suspect they must suck at their personal history keeping.
But I agree, a great band, especially if you like low keyed music with a very good vocalist with a band that is not understated for the sake of their singer. Anna Lynn Williams has one of the best voices out there! Kind of on the line of The High Violets but have to admit that Anna Lynn has a much nicer naturally clean voice. And that's saying something since (Kaitlyn, maybe) of the HV has one damn fine voice! (Let's hope it's in good form for this show.)
If anyone wants a CD suggestion, get their 2nd release called "Different Stars" as everyone (except those oddballs) agrees that it is their very best work. The new one, "Having" , is good too but not on the same emotional or musical level as "DS". Btw, there are 2 different versions of "DS". The rerelease contains their cover of Ride's "Vapour Trail" that is just as good if not better than Ride's. For the collector fanatics, you may want to get the original just for those eBay moments. Even though it's missing "Vapour Trail", it's still very, very good.
-Edit-
Okay, I checked out something in my computer. Trespassers William played in Baltimore a few days before 11/25/03. Maybe EitS has some kind of tour history with the date. That is, if anyone is interested enough to bother looking into it.
