Yes.


Awesome.

sad to have missed the last body cop show. they were easily my favorite dc band of the past couple years.

azaghal, what did you think of the trimble show?

[ggw]

I agree with the consensus on the Feelies.  Great, great show.

I thought it was excellent. His voice has held up fairly well and the girl singing with him did a great job at filling the higher notes that he couldn't hit out. The Crippled Dog stuff is way more rocking than I had thought it would be which was a nice surprise. His band is really tight, too. His older psych stuff was beautiful. I guess they have been playing as a unit for a while now.

Solid Sound fri-sun

[Unsanity]

Bodycop slayed. Sucks they broke up! I really liked that opening band Sacrum too.

Isn't Ian Matthews supposed to play Velvet sometime in the future? Maybe that can make up for me missing Bobb Trimble.

Guided By Voices in Brooklyn (McCarren Park) this past Saturday.  Awesome.

beirut/sharon van etten/yellow ostrich @ mccarren park - past fri

apart from double rainbows which seemed to be the talk at the beginning - all the bands were awesome. had no clue sharon van etten had such a strong voice and aaron desner performing the last 3 songs with her was a total bonus.

beirut also played a great set - despite what some posted on BV.

As of right now, yes.  However, I don't think the Velvet is the right place for Matthews.  It was when I was running it, but not anymore.  The owner is more concerned with pumping loud DJ bullshit than giving respect to a quiet songwriting legend.  I looked into moving it to Iota or Jammin' Java but neither was available, so I might end up moving it to a house show somewhere.  Stay tuned...

[azaghal1981]

The DJ noise has gotten way out of hand. I was concerned about it interfering with Bobb Trimble but his band was loud enough to overcome it.

I just randomly looked up Fucked Up's website to see if they'll be touring any time soon and was absolutely delighted to discover they're playing the RnR Hotel next Monday.

Just bought my ticket for it.
