FoW roll call

[Bags]

Sunday's show is SOLD OUT.  Doesn't mean that many board folks are going.  Not sure they're a pitchfork fave (ha ha, Rhett posting as Bags!).
 
 I got a crew, wondering if others are hitting this show, which should be hot.
 
 And do we know anything about the openers, Leona Naess and Robbers on High Street?

We love the latest album, but live we thought they sucked.
 
    We're opting for the Mary Lou Lord/Gingersol show at Iota. MLL's new album got a nice writeup today in the weekend section of the Post. She's always good live, but the bonus this time is she'll have a full band (Gingersol) backing her, instead of her usual solo acoustic gig.
 
    But don't tell anybody...I wouldn't want it to get packed or anything.

mll is also at the mojo 2/24 early show at 7:30pm

Leona Naess is ok, kinda hazy pop, at least her old stuff. I'm curious about the Robbers though, they just came out with a new album, and its supposed to be good. Let me know what you think about them.

FoW played the 9:30 Club twice last year.  I'm a huge fan, but that summer show BLEW.  It was the first show of some kind of mini-tour.  No good at all.  I almost skipped out on the show last fall, but a friend convinced me to go, and it was fantastic.  It's like they took all the energy missing from the earlier show, and threw it on top this time.  Great energy, great arrangements, interesting crowd (spanning multiple generations).  So, I'm going again.

leona naess is brilliant, very mellow sort of like norah jones with a guitar and aload of great songs, ok nowt like norah jones.
 she has released three cds comatised,i tried to rock you but you only roll and her latest leona naess.
 the song charm attack has been used in various teen shows/movies.
 for me ballerina is the stand out track on her last cd, she is a really sweet person and in the past signs stuff after she has performed.
 it would be nice if people didnt talk during her performance cos on afew occassions she hasnt been able to play a song cos the talking drowned out her music.
 oh yeah shes very kind on the eye, and has the best arse in music.

Thanks, bungle -- since my crew is me and six guys (not a one of 'em gay), the arse comment may entice them to get to the club early...

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Leona Naess isn't nearly in the same league as Norah Jones, in my opinion.
 
 But she has fucked Ryan Adams, so that counts for something.

[Guiny]

I dont know a damn thing about F o W but am going. We have a pretty big crew going so i got sucked into it. (please keep you sucking comments to yourself!!!!!!)

[Taster]

Leona is pals with Conner Oberst and Adam Duritz I think.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Note to self: she's friends with Conor Oberst and Adam Duritz. Must buy all her albums immediately.

i have a feeling that this crowd will be very different than at past fow shows, due entirely to the popularity of "stacy's mom."  i predict a whole lot of new fans that only want to hear one song.

[Bags]

thatguy, the crowd at the last show was weird!  Lots of parents with their kids.  One group sitting up in the balcony looked like a family reunion gathering, with aunts, uncles, grandparents, kids -- the whole shebang!
