Urge Overkill openers

[Bags]

Hey all, the openers for Urge Overkill are The Jones and Dot Dash.  Either worth getting there early to check out?

Hope some of you are making this show.  I am pumped!

They're digging out more oldies, so unless it's sold out, I may stop by. I love classic Urge. Anything from before Saturation is killer. Saturation is decent too, but "Supersonic Storybook" and "Stull" are the shit.

I am so tempted to go to this. Saw them at the old 9:30 and it was great. I got into them due to Saturation and then worked backwards. Very curious to see if they've aged well, which I can't imagine since they weren't exactly young in 95

I saw them at the old club too...on the Saturation tour.

[Vas Deferens]

saturation was one of the best of the 90s.

not sure about tonite though...how's the new album?

[bearman🐻]

They're do so much stuff from Saturation that it'd be worth putting up with a few new tunes.

I picked up a copy of Saturation at a library book sale awhile back and threw it in my $10 for a whole box of books box and took it home. Listened to it once and threw it in the trash. Same thing with the DGC comilation cd that i snagged along with. Man, the 90's sucked musically.

I'm listening to new album now.  It's very much Saturation/Exit the Dragon.  Which is good.  I saw these guys do a reunion show in NYC at the Bowery Ballroom (you know, most influential club in the country) -- 6 or 7 years ago??  It was great.

*ahem* the formerly most influential club in the country

Pretty good show. Some definite high points and Nash is lookin sharp as ever. King is showing his years but he was impressive-ish on the guitar. A little soggy but overall a good performance and a fun show.

Missed the first opener but thought Dot Dash were pretty terrible. Songs weren't bad but the singer was so off-key as to be grating and it just didn't work. I also just don't understand dressing for a rock concert that you're performing in and putting on a button-up shirt, buttoning it all the way up and then carefully tucking it in. They looked like they were at work.

I kinda wish I would have gone. I have Saturation on cassette and bust it out at least once a year. Always liked their version of "Girl You'll be a Woman Soon" from Pulp Fiction too.

[Relaxer]

Interestingly, they didn't play 'Girl'.
I heard a couple people expressing disappointment over that fact. I was fine with it because they played enough mid-tempo songs, but I was still surprised they didn't play their most mainstream-ish song.
And holding 'Sister Havana' and 'Woman to Woman' for the encore was a sucker move.

Did they play any stuff from "Supersonic Storybook" or earlier? I love the early singles like "Ticket to LA" and "Faroutski". Did they play those?
