Nada Surf Role Call

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I'll be the Happy Kid, stuck with the heart of a sad punk. My wife will be the Blonde on Blonde.
 
 Anybody else?

[ratioci nation]

i will be treading water with a 5% chance of being there

[amnesiac]

I'll be there, drinking Killian's Red

[eilo97]

i hope to be there!  i definitely do not want to miss this lineup.

[Sage 703]

Whoa, slow down; this seems like a popular show.  Hopefully the Black Cat has cleaned up their fruit fly problem; but at least they have Bacardi.  Neither heaven nor space could keep me away.

[eilo97]

will it sell out?  i haven't bought tickets yet.

[amnesiac]

I think the last Nada Surf show sold out. And doesn't Army of Me usually draw a large crowd? So I'm kinda surprised it hasn't sold out yet.

[kurosawa-b/w]

I'm going to hold off on this one and see Say Hi to Your Mom when they play at DC9.

Is there a seminal Nada Surf album one should start with?

high/low and let go are the best, high/low is louder rock and was their one hit wonder album, their hit is not one of the better songs on the album

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I would definitely go with Let Go. I made a list of my 40 favorite albums from 2002-2005 a couple of months ago, and that came in at #2.
 
    Their new one is pretty good, but not on the level of it's predeceasor. I'm not familiar with anything before those two albums, except for their cheesy modern rock him of 1996 (which I recently picked up for 10 cents)

I saw them in Richmond in... uh... Sept 03(?) and they said right up front when someone requested it that they would not be playing it. Probably 20 of the 50 people there left.

I have not seen them live yet, but they have an import only Live in Brussels album from 2004 on which they played it. The person (who is from Spain, hence the imperfect English) who reviewed the live album on amazon said:
 
 Shows nada surf being fabulous performers live,because many of the songs sound even better in this live recording than in the studio version.Impressive is Caw`s voice above all,showing the " popular " emo kids that this man can actually sing.Shows too that they`ve permanently toured the world because both guitarist and bassist speak perfect french during the breaks.Recorded in Brussels, Belgium,Europe where they have a loyal fanbase.Includes " popular" played in a way much more indie pop than Weezer-like.
 Check out what a good live act is.
