Mclusky roll call

[brennser]

Anyone gonna go? I'm leaning towards it - the new album has grown on me and I'd love to hear the Do Dallas material live so I can hear Falkous pronounce Ireland 'I-land'
 
 Speaking of Black Cat gigs? Did anyone go to the Unicorns or Neko Case, two gigs I'd like to have gone to but didn't manage it.....

[ratioci nation]

will be there

[nkotb]

I would be there, but I have previous engagements of drinking myself stupid in Richmond.  Should be a blast, though.  I'd be the new stuff sounds great live, even though it's a bit of a let down.
 
 I did manage to make it to the Unicorns show.  Not bad, but not great.  Some songs sounded top notch ("I Was Born A Unicorn," for example); others were terrible and too drawn out, particularly the new stuff.  Plus, I kind of got my fill of young Canadians that sing about ghosts and their bones turning to jelly telling me how shitty America is.

would love to go... however with Franz Ferdinad, Ron Sexsmith and a last minute DJ gig for the Five for Fighting show, something may have to give.  plus, the mc3 show is friday as well.  what is poor sleep deprived boy to do

[megs]

i'll be there, if only to sneer disdainfully at the band for daring to show up without my friend mat behind the drum kit. and because i still love their tunes.

[Venerable Bede]

i'll be at this show as well. . .
 
 and if anyone went to the neko case show, i too would like to hear a review of that show.  i simply forgot about it or i would have been there.

Neko Case was great, as usual.  She had major sound issues (amp and other assorted stuff) to start off, though.  She said that in retaliation people could come up after the show and punch her in the stomach...But when it got going it was excellent.  Plus she was backed by the Sadies, who I didn't even think were listed on the bill.  Excellent band - they rocked out on their own for a couple of songs.  
 
 And plus for the last song they covered 'Magic Man' by Heart.  
 
 And she said the live album of her and the Sadies will come out in the fall, with a studio album next spring.

[Guiny]

Won't be there.

[Bags]

Wanted to go to get a chance to check them out, but I'll be out of town.

[Relaxer]

Am hoping to go, mostly to see Oceansize, which I've heard very good things about.

[kurosawa-b/w]

I will definitely be there. I'm pretty eager to see Oceansize live and McLusky always rocks out.

[brennser]

wow
 
 wow, wow, wow
 
 unfrigginbelievable gig last night by Mclusky - loud, intense, fun - maybe the best gig I've been to this year
 
 if only DC crowds would do more than tap their feet to a band like this - the music and the band were crying out for a bit of a mosh

[ratioci nation]

really was a great show, I wish not so many people had left after Army of Me (who are boring), they probably would have enjoyed the show,although I did not mind the extra space in the club

[kosmo vinyl]

did all the army of me fans stand at attention in front of the stage while they were playing?  and considering it was probably past their fans bedtime little wonder they all left.

[brennser]

and by the way Lulu and Markie, it IS "8 cars and a house in Ireland"   :p
