Cinerama...anyone going tonight?

[Mongo]

I am on the fence.  How were they last October?

[markie]

Sorry, I posted another topic just now, at the same time you were posting yours.....
 
 They were great last year. I couldnt recommend it more highly. Sometimes they play there tender songs a little too loud, but what do you expect from Gedge?
 
 have you heard any Cinerama or Wedding Present songs?

[kurosawa-b/w]

I'm going! I missed them last Oct. and have been eager to see them.

[lily1]

i too, missed them in october so i will be there. i'm thinking the first of the two opening bands will start at 9? or should i be there earlier?

[markie]

Yep
 
 blackcat seems to open doors to upstairs at 8.30, in reality, about 8.45 and then if its two support bands, the first starts at around 9.
 
 I havent looked into the suppost bands at all though. Anyone know about them?

Actually my brother burned me a copy of Cinerama and I have simply not given it enough listening time.  I do like it though.  I'll probably go.

Which one? If you tell me I will let you know the best track and what they are most likely to play tonight.....
 
 hopefully you have Torino or Holiday?

Actually the one I have is This Is Cinerama.  I just noticed that it was a compilation of import singles.  Now I am curious to see what the rest of their songs sound like.

I'll be there tonight.  Very excited, as this will be my first Cinerama show.  I actually saw Parker and Lily on the backstage a little while ago.  They headlined on a bill that also included the much more popular Matt Pond PA.  By the time their set began, I was one of 8 people in the audience, and that included all 5 members of Matt Pond.  Anyway, I was totally enthralled by their performance.  Be warned that they do seem a bit out of place on the bill, as they're probably the oddest band I've ever heard.  They play sort of synth-based dream pop, with two women on keyboards and half a drum kit each, and a grumpy, dishevelled man who sometimes sings and sometimes plays heavily distorted guitar.  Worth seeing.

Kerry Kerry is still played, they played it last time at least.... I dont think they played anything else off of that album though.
 
 There albums have got better over time.

thanks for the parker lily info Walkman....
 
 sounds bad to me.

[vansmack]

Alright Markie, err, Andrew, Smackette and I will go if they're your FAVORITE band.
 
 I'm assuming that because they're your favorite band it's no where near selling out?

[markie]

Last time it was not  remotely close to selling out.
 
 It would be cool to hang before the show..... Want to go for food? Pollys?

Honestly, I can't imagine that you'd enjoy 'em, from what I know of your tastes.  They're only on the tour because they're label-mates of Cinerama, not because they sound anything like David Gedge.

Unlike you, that's doable.  I'll be at a previous engagement at the Reef from 7-8, then I'll be walking over there so I can stop at Polly's if you're going to be there.  What's your timeframe?
