 you're moving back east where men are men

Set times:
 
 High Strung 9:30
 the Drams 10:30
 
 ...unless the early show runs late, then it's asap.
 
 the Drams won't be playing any Slobberbone material (and neither will the High Strung, presumably)

Sadly, I will not be able to make it either. Pollard, I'll see you in Portland!

Farewell Pollard enjoy life on the left coast!
 
 Dug the new Whoesque power trio sound of the High Strung need to get my mitts on a copy of their cd.  
 
 The need for sleep won out over the Drams..

The High Strung were good, fun to watch. The drummer reminded me of Jonathan Richman. Wish they had played more off of their first album and played a longer set.
 
    The Drams sucked. Brent kept going on about how they were "a brand new band" (he said it like three times in the first half hour) and wouldn't be playing any old songs, even though three of the members were in Slobberbone. The last Slobberbone album was called "Slippage". The new Drams album should be called "Suckage". Ridding themselves of the two things that made them charming, the punkiness and the twanginess, has reduced them to MOR crap.

I have heard these are good times so many times live that I enjoyed hearing the new material. It certainly fits into the set better now than it did originally.
 
 
 Oh and Kosmo, The new album is available on itunes!  :p

it was nice of The High Strung to play a show just for me  :p , and my request as well
 
 it sounded much better than I anticipated, and I had listened to and liked the new album before the show, I just thought they wouldnt be able to pull it off with 1 guitar

Pollard, sorry that I couldn't make it out to say farewell. Hope that the move goes easy for you and that you come back to visit us every now and then. I will miss you.
 
 So thankful for this forum! It's amazing how far reaching this place has become.
