SUCK IT, NYC!!!  DC NUMBER ONE!  DC NUMBER ONE!  (along with Carrboro...)

[azaghal1981]

I just hope the DC crowd is not as painfully lame and small as the most recent DC Jesus Lizard crowd.

The Raincoats
Comet
9/17


How the hell is this not at the club or at least the cat?

Are the Raincoats not as big as I am thinking?

big? depends on what you mean by "big"?

never more than a very fringe cult band..of course they should have been BIG.

big in influence if only because of cobain (and courtney)/kim gordon

glad they are coming to dc..i'll be there assuming no catastrophe.

does one buy tickets online for comet? never been there (added: for a show that is)..

actually have their first album but the original issue does not have the excellent single that was tacked on to the cd..

This show has tickets available online:

I have an extra (Sonic Circuits conflict) if anybody still has yet to buy a ticket to this. Printable. Can email. $20.

and HR goes acoustic:

[i am gay and i like cats]

please clue me in . . . is hr worth it nowadays?  i loved him.  i love bad brains.  i love some of hr's solo material.  but that was a long time ago.  i don't even listen to dinosaur jr anymore, and where i'm from, that is reason for removal from the club.

I don't know how helpful this info, but the Bad Brains show at the club in 2008 (election night, I think) was about the worst show I've ever seen, largely due to HR.

[azaghal1981]

Man that show sucked.


Like, really sucked.


Like insulting sucked.


I heard HR has been really hit or miss (mostly miss) since then.
