Yeah, I figure it'll be a mix of snobs and OC kids. Whatever - I'll just get drunk and try one of SalParadise's lines

I'm not much of a fan, but I dragged my buddy to Music/Kasabian and this was his payback, so I'm going. I've tried to get into the few Clientele songs I have, but it sounds too much like boring Sparklehorse.

It's time to put a stop to this.  There's no difference between a kid from the OC and a snob.
 
 I think you mean snobs and kids who watch The OC.

hahaha...don't fuck with the oc

Okay, so I saw Spoon for the first time last night.  Have to say I was pretty disappointed.  I really enjoy "Kill the Moonlight" and "Girls Can Tell."  I like the new album -- a few songs I'm not into, a couple really good songs.
 
 The band brought nothing to the live show...no energy, no additional 'oomph.'  Wish I'd gone to WSC at the 'Cat.  I at least would have danced there...NO dancing, or even head bobbing, at Spoon.

Really? I saw some of both. I think the lead singer is pretty amazing on guitar. I like #4,6 and second to last songs. No ideas the titles. Sorry I didn't see you Bags, figured you were up front. Thanks again chimbly!

I've seen them 6 times & this sums up my experience each perfectly.
 
 Better off just playing the records.

i feel like i saved money to see the Futureheads! Haha!

[imaginarycolors]

and its a semi-sad state of affairs when people have to get drunk to numb themselves away from the annoying indie wannabes although my gf did it at the Bright Eyes show which i did concur later that if i could i would have too

[Chip Chanko]

I also agree. They were technically good but not exciting at all. I DID enjoy the extremely drunk guy in front of me who knew EVERY word to EVERY song and mouthed along the entire show.

Overall a bit of a letdown, but the group with me loved it, so that helped. All agreed that the Clientele was BORING. Every now and then they'd get a Velvets-type jam going, but for the most part, it was dull and dragged out.
 
 Spoon was okay. I don't really like them all that much, but I do like the new album and the selections from it sounded good. They really need a second guitar player up there, because Britt's guitar-playing tends to be pretty spare and they could use the added beef to fill in the sound. He is a good guitar player, but he tends to play 'color', and they need a play-by-play guy to back him up.
 
 But like I said, the people I was with loved it so much that it was fun. Hate to say it, but if the drunk guy who was shouting all the words was in the middle of the upstairs balcony, that was my group. I've seen my buddy get drunk and obnoxious before, but never like that. It got pretty annoying, though it kept our area from getting crowded.

good thoughts relaxer.
 and yeah, even though there wasn't much oomph on-stage, the crowd really seemed to enjoy it w/o be overly obnoxious imo.
