Get there earlier. Remember- Be Best.

First time seeing Amyl and the boyz
Impressive

I feel like she was channeling Lemmy, iggy and dc hardcore

What a fun, loud, fast and out-ta-control show.
She really had the audience eating out of her hand and they were boping and grooving the whole set
The bassist commented something to the effect “if this is what you guys are like on a Monday I can’t imagine how nuts it is in DC on the weekend”

Sold out shows at the Fillmore are brutal
I got in midway in SM set and it was packed to the back wall and was next to impossible to maneuver through the crowd

what are you...my mom
I show up what ever the fuck time I want and wiggle my way in to find a good spot to see the show
this is a punk rock show, not some symphony at the Kennedy center

I got there mid way in the opener and that's early for me
sold out shows at FSS are over capacity IMO, it was packed

crap, off to see underworld, almost forgot!

Awesome! I expect a full review!!!

it was a total blast.  haven't danced like that in a while.  karl was kicking just as hard as the last time i saw him, some 17-18 years ago when the boys opened for radiohead.  rick was furniture, as expected.  crowd started off a little reserved (the seattle stoner thing) but 10-15 minutes in it was a 2,000-person dance party.  they ended, predictably, with born slippy which the crowd ate up, but for me the highlight was cowgirl - everyone was jumpin'.  i was reminded of how many different styles of electronic music those two have touched through their career - trance, house, jungle/d'n'b, electro, dowbeat... only complaint was that the sound lacked punch.  sounded overly even and processed.  the sound mix was great, PA was clean and clear - i just would have wanted more dynamics.  would see again.  and again.

Man so jealous. I haven’t seen them since Beaucoup Fish tour at 930! They come so so rarely to DC area!!  I could listen to the stuff when Emerson was in band forever. The Dirty Epic/Cowgirl maxi cd is so good. 😊

Just heard a WUSA reporter covering Metallica call them "the Beyoncé of metal".

RIP his mentions.

Both Modern English and Soft Cell gave us respectable sets leading up to their hit(s).  I was surprised to learn that other than the drummer  Modern English consist of the original members of the band, thought it had turned into  a case of lead singer and stand-ins.  And while the crowd came to their feet to sing along and clap for the song it seemed like they were better suited in a club environment. 

I had seen less than flattering reviews of recent Marc Almond appearances, but his voice was sounding great and what I thought was a stand-in for Mark Bell was in fact him.  Also, learned that besides "Tainted Love" they were considering another Northern Soul cover at the time which was The Four Seasons "The Night", it was later recorded and they did a fine rendition last night.  Of course top notch backing vocalists enhanced the performance.

more later stupid actually work
