Need I say more? Typical Lissie fan I guess. Same people that post mindless comments on YouTube.

Joe's a super mega lissie fan.

Dylan LeBlanc was funny on "Friends" but I didn't care much for the spin-off show he did after "Friends" ended.

Shadrach,

Thanks for your respectful and intelligent response. That's rare these days with the YouTube crowd. I understand the 9:30 Club treats all musicians equally, fair enough. That doesn't mean though the crowd can't exhibit a little respect and courtesy for all musicians. It's exciting to see a star in the making at small clubs. Lissie fans missed that thrill. If you don't believe me, read what the Wash Post had to say about Dylan when he came to the 9:30 Club last October.

If you find nothing wrong with the way the crowd treated Dylan, you're a waste of air.

You're VERY perceptive!  He really IS.  But maybe he's just getting warmed up.  He hasn't reached 10,000 posts yet.  It's the hipster version of Malcom Gladwell's "reps" theory.

Dylan LeBlanc is probably a very talented, young, singer-songwriter.  I'm sorry he was treated poorly but that's what DC crowds ARE.  Mom and Daddy paid for their massively overpriced, liberal arts educations and they go to places like the 9:30 club to do three things:

1.)  Mark time.
2.)  Talk on their cellphones.
3.)  Loiter.

Here's a perfect example:  They treated Dylan LeBlanc poorly but stood in rapt silence to watch Courtney Love practice her Mel Bay chords for 47 straight hours. 


P.S.  They also genuflect for Nick Cave, Radiohead, Wilco, etc.  basically everyone Pitchfork used to give >9 for but now give <6 for.  Hipster DC crowds....discerning they're NOT.

I think it's the coat check staff.

He may be the next Neil Young, but he's still a dumbass who smokes cigarettes. Bought from the tobacco store!



Reaching LeBlanc on the phone, this seems even more true. He's not playing video games, he's simply out in Muscle Shoals, Ala., buying cigarettes. And not at a CVS or 7-Eleven. "At the tobacco store," he says in a soft, Southern drawl while slightly trailing off, which is how he says most things.

I have seen this happen with the headliners not just openers.  It is as if these people think that band they paid $20+ to see is background music.  It sucks when it happens, but sometimes if you work your way to the front, the PA drowns out the people.

As to introducing bands, that usually is when there is some radio station or the like involved with the show or some of these battle of the bands thing.  And an opener encore would have to be blessed by the headliner or the scam of leaving stage early to come back to fill their alotted time.
