clockcleaner/deerhunter 8/30

[ggw]

Clockcleaner's bad-boy attitude simply couldn't scale the sheer wall of insouciance that a DC crowd can generate.  As soon as the singer remarked that we were "the most boring crowd" the band had ever played for, I knew we had won the fight.
 
 Deerhunter were pretty good, although I had to split early.

Dude, if this was NYC, people would've been dancing their asses off.

 the pinnacle of indifference: actually enjoying a band but leaving early anyways  :p

Though basement shows generally trump all.

 Yeah, well they were better at 9:30.
 Yeah, but that wasn't nearly as good as The Black Cat show.
 Did you see their Backstage show?
 No - But I saw them at Iota once....and left early.
 
 Winner!

the word hipster should be banned from this forum.

The Germs cover that ended up turning into a noisy sludgy mess of an encore was fun.
 
 I enjoyed both bands.

deerhunter was insanely boring...5% of the time it was interesting..the rest of it seemed like a rip off of a good bit of black dices beaches and canyons
 
 not really quite sure what this hype is all about
 
 clockcleaner killed it, not only saying that cause i put out their records, but they sounded great. As far as the crowds go, I cant blame them for what they said, then again the crowd they played for wasnt the kind of crowd for them. Im pretty much willing to be 60% of them never heard a germs song in their life.

i fuckin' missed clockcleaner, due to late-running band practice, and the black cat's anal retention in starting shows exactly at 9:30 even with two bands.
 
 deerhunter were good but as epstein said, ripping off black dice circa 2002, and certain bits of MBV. not bad, but i'm also not sure of all the hype. supposedly, they were a bit more unpredictable a couple of years ago.

[azaghal1981]

Speaking of Black Dice, how about booking them sometime during that 10-day gap before their philly show?  

[snailhook]

i would, but they are too big for the velvet. they'd be good for the blowtel, but i'd much rather see them at the black cat.

[azaghal1981]

What about Eric solo? He could play the velvet and his new album is pretty solid.
