Ft Reno

[raebyddet]

I'm no sound engineer, but I thought they sounded GREAT, especially considering the conditions and a rushed sound check.  I tend to love shows when there's been rain because everyone feels a little crazy and the bands tend to cut loose.  Really great energy last night, I thought.  Glad they're going to do another one, though. [/QB]

I thought the energy was good but the sound was so/so. I'm not complaining but the vocals were very soft last night, and the sound was just not that great over all. I think they did an amazing job considering no sound check and there was standing water on the stage. However I don't think it was anywhere close to one of their best shows. I'm just glad that they are going to do another club show; I never thought that Fort Reno should be their last show.

 It was nice to see how many people either stuck it out or came back. How many people you think were there? I estimated 400. That may be a bit high, but it was a big crowd!

I think that might be a pretty good estimate, the place looked empty when it was raining hard. But when they came back out to play people came out of the wood work. There was pretty much solid people from the front of the stage to the sound truck.

they did the song at the bowery in new york and also at tla in philly last week.
 
 was rather surprised to see them open with "the city". that's usually a mid set or later song.
 
 and i also agree that sound wasn't great, esp with the vocals, but considering everything, i didn't really mind.

  Agreed.  I braved the elements, but I at least was smart enough to bring an umbrella...not that it helped.  And while I am highly excited for one last club show, man, that was a blast last night.  I can't even remember if I've ever heard "One Too Many Blows to the Head" live before.

There was a lot of video footage being taken, is there a DVD or some other video coming out of the Plan or better yet something about Fort Reno?!

[Captain Jack]

no, kids just tape shows to use as emo currency.

A friend just pointed me to the Fort Reno website...Apparently, the Apes are not playing tonight.  No clue why, although I was told the singer is on his honeymoon?  Very odd...

[chknfngrs]

hope the weather holds out for my friends in Zero Beat.

They announced that one of the band members eloped. So yet again I am thwarted in my attempts to see The Apes... At least it was a good excuse.

I missed the first band's set, heard the last half of Tuohy's last song, and saw the last two bands full sets.  
 
 I was really impressed with the last two bands.  Spirit Animals and The Max Levine Ensemble were both a fun time.  Granted, they were both pop punk, but they played it well.  
 
 Anyone else there last night?  Kurosawa, I believe I saw you there.  Didn't want to interrupt you and your friend though.

i was there. it was ok. i liked how there was some more energy in the bands, but it was so humid and those dancing kids really bothered me.

[thirsty moore]

I take it you didn't see the dancing Mom in the melee of dancing kids.

[chknfngrs]

I saw my friends Zero Beat play first, thought it was good. But I'm biased. I thought the sound was much better than previous shows, no broadcast signals and such. I saw 1.5 songs of the second band and decided to ditch. It was such a nice night I didn't want to ruin it. Anyone know what language that girl was singing in? The music wasn't awful, but the vocals was so close to it. The kids loved it!

i didn't see a dancing mom. but i saw a lot of dancing sweaty kids. it was annoying only because of the sweat that flew off onto me, and their over enthusiasm was just not appreciated. dancing is funtimes, by all means, dance. however, don't throw your huge body mass into mine when yours is covered in sweat and other things.
