the bravery.

Good thing you're not a shrink. I was actually just passing along some info that I thought might be helpful to people. I try to be more clearily next time.

(radio stations, djs, clubs, street teamers, magazines, record stores, independent record promoters) a promo can appear to be used since it's open but will usually take some sort of sticker indicates it's a promo, or a indent/hole in the case.  as is the often case someone is trying to raise a little cash by selling thier promos.  given the fact the cd just came out that pile of used cds is probably someone cashing in their promos.
 
 could be that some radio station got a stack to give away and some intern decided to pocket the cash instead...

I am going out of a strange curiosity.
 
 Surprisingly I am confused that the show took so long to sell out (heh possible double entendre there)..
 
 Strangely enough I do like their cd (it is sort of a guilty pleasure of mine) it's not a blast or total perfection but I am curious to see how they will perform live.
 
 most hated band in America?  Whatever...  If this is the music the band wants to play and make, who cares how friggin old they are or if they were a ska band before hand or somewhat.
 
 All I want to know is if they can pull off the chops live cause that is what matters.  hoping they can, hope the opening acts will be good as well.

I'm there mostly for dead 60's, who look like they'd put on a good show. and yeah, the clash outtakes comparison sounds particularly apt.  The Bravery I discovered all on my own way back last september, and liked their sound.  Didn't at all think of the killers when i heard them, which is what everyone seems to be comparing them to.  It will be interesting to see if their live show smacks of posing or if they seem more to be genuinely into what they're doing.

Nic Armstrong and The Thieves greatly exceeded my expectations.  A solid nonstop 30 minutes of fuzzy around the edges, sweaty, greasy rock n' roll.  No BS stage banter, all four members got a chance to sing lead.  As often is the case it's a great drummer that tips the scales.  In this case the much like The Features drummer, he propelled the band with a wildly enthusastic beat.  Plus, you get the sense he's a fustrated front man trapped behind his kit.  Highly recommend seeing this band  live when ever they hit a town near you.
 
 The Dead 60s on the other hand were a bit of a let down.  Much to clean cut and mannered in their performance.  Don't get me wrong, this band is mostly likely the next Supergrass because they are very good at what they do.  I expect several years of good but not great albums and shows from them.  And hopefully some of their influences will gel into a Dead 60s sound.  There is Specials, Clash, Buzzcocks all there...
 
 And the Bravery were....

i thought the whole night was really good. i really dont see how you can put the bravery and the killers in the same category. sure, their music sounds relatively similar but tonight only proved that the bravery are a kickass real legit band, and i dont particularly think the same of the killers. for some reason, when i was thinking about what the evening would be like, i was not envisioning the bravery to be energetic and put on as good a rock show as they did. they really impressed me, and ive become a much bigger fan because of it. nic armstrong and the thieves were awesome, i met all the guys afterwards and they were all really cool. the dead 60s were very clean cut and everything but they are a good band and i can definitely see good things for them in the future. the crowd reacted really well to them as well. it seemed as though a lot of people there were going for the dead 60s, which kind of surprised me. i dont really like it when people act all elitist in saying that they hate seeing high school kids being dropped off by their parents and listening to the latest trend band or whatever. im in high school, but ive got a pretty broad taste of music which is, as far as ive seen, very similar to most people on the forum. i just happen to think that the bravery are a good band and im not going to ignore them just because theyre getting mainstream and popular.

Didn't they teach you about using paragraphing in English class? When you son't use it, it makes it very hard to read what you've written. Thanks.

 There you go, is that better? I hope you're able to read it now.

All in all, it was a perfect night of concerts. All of the three bands totally convinced me. Nic Armstrong And The Thieves were great, the Dead 60's became better in the end and the Bravery were awesome. The lead singer was quite talkable and that made him much more likeable than a few months ago at the Black Cat where they were all just about to look good and to impress.

[smakawhat]

It was a good show by all bands, my only thing was that when I heard some of the stuff from Nic Armstrong on their website, I felt the 60's influence live didn't come across.  They were a good band but the trademark sound they seemed to have didn't show up live to me.
 
 I really liked the Dead 60's and while people hear have called them Clash wannabees, the band reminded me more of The Specials than anything else, but a little bit more polished and rigid, instead of free.
 
 The Bravery put on a good show.  It's funny how people keep refering to Endicot's "Morrisey shtick", after listening to him for awhile, it seems his vocal style is based mostly on Bono of U2.  That's what he reminded me of to some extent.
 
 more later..
