This week rollcall

[azaghal1981]

On second thought, it wasn't all unreleased material; I think there may have been stuff from Secret Wars and Happy New Year played but 90% of it was definitely stuff I've never heard which was steeped in jambandiness.
 
 
 I just read a review from a show that they played last week which featured Preteen Weaponry in its entirety.
 
 Now I'm even more bitter; that would've been awesome to have heard last night.

I shall be doing my best to see Rasputina tonight at the Ottobar, and then again tomorrow night at the Black Cat.  We'll see, as Tuesday is my VERY first day of college and tomorrow is my get-everything-done-before-first-day-of-school day (who's buying me a drink?).  God grant me energy, I seem so ill-fated when it comes to Rasputina.

last night: people in planes/the skybombers
 
 thurs night: radio 4/robbers on high street
 fri: south street seaport??
 Oneida
 Endless Boogie
 + Very Special Guest
 
 Kid Millions, Bobby Matador, and Baby Hanoi Jane bring it to the Seaport - a disjointed, minimalist, maximalist, psychedelic tidal wave of sound. Openers Endless Boogie play smoldering jams. Special guests tba.

Please post an Oneida review. I want to know if it's as weird as the show I saw.

If I make it to the show and stay for them - Ill gladly post a review. Read your review, so am curious about what I'll see. Im not familiar with their music at all and have no expectations - but its free and cant go wrong there!

i doubt I'll get better value all year than the $14 I spent last night on Liam Finn and The Veils - impressive stuff

[Vas Deferens]

I got robbed $14. The Veils were supposed to play for an hour, but played 30 minutes instead.
 
 Liam Finn definitely needs a full band. But ya know, some musicians want to show us that they can play more than one instrument. So here's Liam stretching his 3 minute song into 6 minutes by playing the guitar parts first, then the drum parts...it is so pretentious. I left after 4 songs. Oh, I couldn't stand the female singer either. She didn't really help...
 
 What does Charlie think about the show?

How many shows out of 10 would you say you bitch about?

[Vas Deferens]

Not many. I've only been to a few disappointing shows this year...

You just saved me quite a bit of typing. Couldn't have said it better myself. My friends all agreed that the Veils blew Liam off the stage, and that the Veils should have played twice as long as they did. I left a few songs after you did.
 
 The Beatles Birthday song was especially cheesy.
 
 And I'm saying this as a big fan of Liam's cd.
