Secret Machines

[TheREALHunter]

I would've loved to have seen The Secret Machines again as a headliner for a lower ticket price but wasn't going to pay extra for a band that I would've left before seeing.

Why would KOL fans have an answer to your question? And weren't you a KOL fan a few months ago?

  Oh yeah, one question for the KOL fans.  What's with doing tune up and sound check as your opening chords...(including "testing, testing....")...That was the most unprofessional thing I've seen on the 930 stage since Westerberg lay down behind the drum kit to nap during a solo...

You missed when sonic and rhett had a crossfire style debate over the merits of certain bands. Rhett lead with this stunning 4 minute soliloqy about the old 97s that had us all on our feet applauding until sonic responded with "you filthy slut!" we declared sonic the winner because comedy trumps logic any day.
 
 The best part,though, was when we gave the bouncer a picture of BadSushi and told him she wasn't allowed in. Man, that was classic... [/b]

well it's a good thing i had vansmack monitoring the proceedings with Secret Webcam installed, he'll be sending me the capture later today.  
 
 is it true that thinks really got shaking during "Miss Freelove 69", and that canker stripped down to his biker shorts?

Fair warning - around 2am Celeste flashed everybody, and unless you want to throw up like the rest of us, you probably want to skip that footage. I'd heard of "innie" and "outie" bellybuttons, but nipples?

[Bartelby]

Yep, I was...I heard 'em live several times, but I don't like their newest CD, their repetitive beat bores me now - and the most of their newest lyrics are bordering on misogynistic.  Honestly, I was also a little influenced by how mean they were to several fans in the backbar during their last show...
 
 Given the choice between Secret Machines and KOL, I'd pick SM anytime...and except for the fact that I ran into some old friends I wanted to catch up with - I'd planned on leaving right after SM's set...Do I get flamed for falling out of like with a band now?  Your choice....

 I thought the KOL were great.  I caught their show at the Black Cat some six months ago; when the BC was only half full.  I can't believe how packed last night's show was - and how many people were singing along with the stuff from the new CD.  Man, I thought they were on fire, and I'm impressed with how they've tightened up their playing - back to back touring has really paid off.   Even tho Caleb was apparently fighting laryngitis, he still managed all his signature slightly odd vocal styles.
 
 They also hung out after the show, and it's always surprising to find the rock gods are really just nice, slightly shy, totally humble guys, who still seem amazed at what's happening to them.  Nice night - and well behaved crowd too.
 

when were they mean?

What the hell is a prole?

  Maybe someone should have told Brendan...KOL forgot to invite the Secret Machines.  I didn't make the story up; a couple of your staffers told me.  If it was a KOL private party, perhaps you could have put the NO ADMIT sign up earlier in the evening so none of us would have planned to meet up down there later...you also have a website updated daily where it might be considerate to post such notices.  I'm sure DC9 appreciated the maneuver, however...

I think you're expecting too much/asking too much of the club.  KOL are dicks -- not the club's fault, and not the club's responsibility to make all these alternatives and notices available.  The club isn't Madison Square Garden; I'm sure anyone who had planned to meet up after the show could find each other.
 
 I think it's hysterical that Secret Machines didn't know it was a KOL after-party.

I guess KOL has let success go to their balls. That's what happens once you get a little Bush.

As do I (well, the smoking is nearly a thing of the past, but the premise remains intact).
 
 That's one thing I feel for them about.  They're in their early 20s, they have what for the rest of us is pretty normal behavior scrutinized...

[Bartelby]

Not mean to me.  I don't generally approach performers I don't know...The next morning I spoke with two gfriends who tried to get them to sign their CD jackets, and all four of the KOL guys blew 'em off...not a cool way to treat fans who spent money on your product... BTW:  I did like their new work  - which they were promoting heavily on their last tour...then I put it away and haven't been compelled to even load it on my iPod...want to make a big deal out of that too?
 
 So, you did a great job of finding my older posting...it must be a really slow day for you.  Since I'm self-employed, I only screw myself when I spend so much time on the board...Do any of you more rabid hipsters here even bother going to shows anymore?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Since when is drinking, smoking, and partying hard considered normal behavior for early 20's? What a sad society we've become.

i am far too cool to bother with shows, the best bands dont even play shows anymore

I only screw myself when my wife goes away for conferences.

my guess is Kings of Leon rented the backbar from the club for whatever reasons... it's not like it's a public space so the club can choice to do with it what it likes.
