yuppie bars?  last time i was there (a few years ago), they were trashy, scantilly-clad-roaming-shot-girl type bars [/b]
whatever you wanna call em. i dont set foot in em....but i doubt there's a lot of gangsters there!

power plant live makes no sense....a friend of mine was trying to get in a bar and he was wearing some jeans that were frayed at the ends....the bouncer wouldn't let him in...i looked at the bouncer and he was wearing jeans that were frayed at the ends as well...i pointed this out, and he kicked me out.
 
 great place, that.

Sonick and anyone else, please let us know how the show was.  I want to see them at Starr Hill too, but I have a conflict, unless you guys say it's really worth it.

what gangs are you referring to? I wore baggy pants and a chain most of my life, but was never in a gang.  are you talking about the bloods and the crips? haha.

Well, what a great band TSOOL is!  Its been a while since i could count the people in attendance.....46! Yup, 46 people standing dispersed amongst the Rams Head floor as Soundtrack walked onstage, the singer pretending he was drunk and falling over.
 
   Then he says "come on up people, its our own private little party"  and they rocked out! Didnt seem to care one bit that less than 50 people were there. played just as well if not better than when they were on the main stage at Coachella.
 
   A lot of new stuff was played, but they grabbed something from every album.  Halfway through the show, these two girls come up to the stage (no one was like, leaning against the stage or anything, you could walk right up) and had six shots with them!!!  the singer took them and passed them around and we all had a drink.
 
  After about 1 hour and 15 minutes, they left and i am like "do 50 people need an encore?"  sure we did!  so back they came for another 5 or 6 songs, taking requests and everything. (I  asked for Instant Repeater 99 and told him to play it cause i bought a shirt tonight, he said "fuck it, well play Instant Repeater")
 
   After the show i went to the bar to finish my beer and within 5 minutes 3 of the band were sitting right next to us!  so we talked to the singer and bassist for a little while (they werent being mobbed, only like 30 people were left!) Really nice guys and they said they really liked Baltimore and hopefully they'll be back!
 
    definitely a classy band with a LOT of talent and NO marketing. its a shame how a record label can overpromote one band and just do nothing at all with another one.
 
   thats all....

Cool story.  Talk about a lesser known band that could have mass appeal, SOOL is it.
 
 Incredibly talented, great songwriting, charismatic personalities.  Too bad for them, they deserve to be in the top echelon of rock bands.  Im sure there are many bands in the same boat, but Ive gotten rather attached to this band.  Great stuff.

 The Power Plant Live dress code is:  No excessively baggy clothing.   No shorts below the knee.  No work boots.  No athletic wear (jerseys or sweats).   No ripped or torn clothing.  No bandanas or other headwear.   All chains must be tucked in.  Shirts must be tucked in.
so is this mentioned when one buys advanced tickets?  what happens if you show up and they deny you entry do they refund the cost of the ticket?  
 
 someone should send a white and non-white person to the club wearing the same attire and document the outcome.. me smells a lawsuit waiting to happen here...

no one mentioned a dress code to me and i didnt even think of looking for one til someones comment on here.  I am sure the dress code is only used as a tool to remove someone they feel as threatening.  or any black guy.  I am assuming (and it hit me last night) the "shirt tuck" rule probably has something to do with the ridiculous fad of the long white nightgown t-shirts that the black folks like to run around in up here. Then imagined them tucking them in...that would be funny!

Sonick:  Thanks for that review.  The lead singer, Mathias, usually has a very unique, custom made jacket for every tour...what did he have on this time?  BTW:  They did the same thing after the 930 show a few months ago:  came over to the DC9 with the Dears, and drank up everything they could find: same thing with their three shows in two days in NYC.  They are really nice guys; love their fans and their music.  Can't wait for Starr Hill!!!!!

yeah, he had a long black shirt/dress thing on, like always. (not always black though) with some cool designs on it.
 
    another thing i noticed was super lame about Rams Head....i bought tickets for $15 and they are like "$16.50" cause of tax????  and then i bought a t-shirt and the $15 tshirt was "16.50"
 
   who adds fucking tax on top of everything?? how lame.  I understand there's tax, but come on people add it in, I have never paid "tax" on a concert tee at the show!  and $1.50 on $15 is 10% not 5% anyway!

This would make for one great scene in The Wire... When's it's going to be back on?

i believe they will start shooting season 4 in October for a Spring 2006 air time. maybe they will put it before the Sopranos and Deadwood so we can have a 3-hour Sunday HBO lovefest!

Sonick:  I misspoke before - to early for me.  It's Ebott who is lead singer - who always wears his signature severe "smock"...I meant lead guitarist, Mathias, with the jacket...they're all characters anyway!
