Ditto.
 
 This show has been such a pain in my ass that I'm not looking forward to it all.  Luckily I've seen them enough to know that I'll get over it once they start.  If not, GET OUTTA MY WAY!    :cool:

Hold Steady for me!
 
 any thoughts on when Thao will start at the Cat? Would I be able to catch part of her set after The Hold Steady (looks like they start at 9.30)

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

We had planned on that, but instead we're going to Seattle at the end of the month.

Hold Steady were great....much better than last time at the club
 
 caught about 30 minutes of Thao - very different vibe but fun

[Vas Deferens]

I caught the last 5 songs of Thao (25 minutes). LOVED the longer version of "Fear and Convenience" as well as "Feet Asleep".
 
 Agreed about Hold Steady. "Slapped Actress" was my fave tonite.

the hold steady were good but i thought their show in bmore a few months back was better..possibly b/c it was on a friday night.

Did anyone see Oneida tonight? If so, did you leave more confused than you've ever been while leaving a show? I sure did.

Explain!

From the way they were playing and interacting with each other between songs, it felt like they were trying to dick around with/frustrate the crowd for the entirety of their set. Last I checked, yes they do a lot of improvisational stuff but they never came off to me as a jamband. There's a fine line between the two. This shit they played last night sounded like something you'd hear at the state theatre. There was even one moment between songs where one of them said "I was trying to explain what we sounded like to this guy earlier tonight. I made a big mistake by not telling him that we sound like a jamband...like Widespread Panic or something." It just felt like a running joke between the band the whole time they were up there. Yeah it was funny but at the same time, it was frustrating and confusing as hell. I thought maybe we'd hear a chunk of Preteen Weaponry (their new, mostly improvised but interesting album) and some older stuff but this was all unreleased material (none of it was anything I'd heard, anyway) that sounded like it was purposefully played badly. It ended with this drums/keyboards duel that went absolutely nowhere for 15-20 minutes.

Oof...I skipped last night because I sort of expected a full set of just Preteen Weaponry material.  Not that the new album is bad (because it's not)...I just couldn't imagine them playing any other material except maybe a short encore of older stuff.  Sounds to me like I made a wise decision.  At least the last Warehouse show (night of the ill-fated Sleater-Kinney show) killed it.  Oh well.
