 a rising tide lifts all boats.

Goddamn it.  I called Velvet Lounge and there were two opening acts, so the Tyde was scheduled for midnight.  On a Monday.  Sorry dudes, I have a job that takes some concentration!  Just can't do it.  Thank goodness someone posted earlier today that The Tyde will be back in late September at Black Cat (opening for Nada Surf, which could be interesting).  I will see them then, though it's a bummer to miss a Velvet show -- seeing them with like 70 people.
 
 sheesh.  This is the drawback to mid-30s compared to mid-20s, a certain level of responsibility.
 
 If anyone saw them, would love to hear some reviews, good or bad (I can either look forward to the show in Sept if they were great, or feel alright about missing them if they sucked).

tyde sucked.  limp-wristed wuss rock. as for the black cat show w/ nada surf, yah right.  fletcher's would be a great (for the bands) place for a one-hit wonder and a never-has been/will-be.
 
 but you missed out on sounds of kalaediscope.  nice pop tunes.

I enjoyed both bands, although I couldn't understand a word Sounds of Kaleidescope were singing.  The Tyde were great.

[markie]

sounds of kaleidoscope were reasonable, I got the impression that they hadnt done too many shows before. They seemed pretty nervous to me.
 
 The Tyde were great. They played most of my favourite songs of theirs. I did think it was odd that the sound at the start was great and it slowly deteriated over the length of their show.
 
 Oh and Ikarus the tyde are psychadelic pop, with bitter songs about user friends and drug taking. But what were you expecting from a band called the tyde?
 
 perhaps you should stick to seeing bands with "death" in their name from now on?

Great -- Pollard, Markie and I tend to be on similar wavelengths, so while I will find it odd to be buying a ticket for a Nada Surf show, I will do so.
 
 How was the crowd -- was the place crowded?  And when, oh when, did it end?

I got there early I didnt want to miss it. Half the tyde were in the bar and all of kaleidoscope sounds, whom I dindt recognise. Its was dead in there at that time. But by the time the tyde came on, around 11 it was pretty full. The crowd were ok. But it was hard to judge as we were right at the front and if you turn round you cant see hell of a lot. It seemed a few other people were shouting out for songs though.
 
 The merchandise table was really busy at the end of the show and it looked like they shifted a handy number of copies of twice. It was done by around 12.30. I got home just gone 1.

[jadetree]

Tyde actually went on about 11:30, and must have finished about 12:30, it was a fairly short set.  And Bags, if you listened to the newest Nada Surf you might be surprised and actually enjoy.  go to www.nadasurf.com to listen

I just listened to some nada surf,
 
 Its quite straightforword melodic pop isnt it? Its awfully close to bland?

Oh Ok, there is no need to get defensive, I just wondered if I was missing something. I can see more behind the tyde than that. The bitter lrics and drug induced failures are offset nicely by some of the saccharine melodies. Like the beach boys turned old and bitter.
 
 Now try and justify nada surf, without resorting to an attack.

So nada surf in indefensible? I guess that will be pinball time.

sorry I dont really like to get into defending music on here anymore, I was just trying to allow Bags (who seems to have a bad impression of Nada Surf possibly from their hit years ago) to hear newer Nada Surf.  I especially dont want to get in to defending music to someone who has admitted never liking music the first time he hears it and using the same argument about the music he hears being bland everytime he hears it the first time.

I think Markie and Bob Pollard should duke it out on the undercard of the Jaguar - Poorlulu bout.
