Clinic Roll Call

[megs]

anyone else going? i've seen them twice, but i can never resist the urge to see men in surgical masks playing really good music.

[Dandy01]

I love them and really enjoyed the last show, I'll be there!

i love Clinic and i'd love to see them live, but really my money is super tight.  and i sort of dislike the Black Cat.
 
 come to baltimore, Clinic.

and i sort of dislike the Black Cat.  

Why?  The Black Cat is a great venue and a decent hangout spot.
 
 Anyway, I'll be there. Saw them a few months back and I was blown away.  Thought their set would be more mellow and/or moody, but it straight-up rocked from start to finish.

well, bands sound fine there, but its sort of a bitch to park there, and the crowd is usually pretty dull. and people there are generally not very friendly. since its usually just me and my girl, we tend to be more bored there than anything else. perhaps I'm not hip enough to talk to people there.  
 
   just my personal experience.

i am quite interested in both openers, but think i'm gonna laze out of this one. the high watermarks is the new band from hillary sydney, drummer from apples in stereo, and sounds pretty good. and sons and daughters has folks from arab strap (neither of the main guys), and sounds pretty good from the few tunes i've heard. i think clinic peaked with their early EPs and each album since then has gone downhilll, but they're still pretty fun.
 
 we'll see how the weather is (both here and in boston).

1. Its a bitch to park just about anyplace in DC that has any semblance of nightlife.
 
 2. I've never been inclined to talk to anonymous people at any other venues such as the 930 club for example.  For the most part, people are there to see shows not to meet new friends.
 
 3. Most of time, crowds are boring at every DC show.
 
 What's good about the Black Cat is that its a little more intimate.  You have a better chance at getting close to the stage and its a little (just a little) bit cheaper.

which is why i dont go to DC much.  I dont have many friends who go to shows (almost none really). Baltimore is more of a place to hang out and i always meet a few interesting people at Fletcher's or Ottobar.
 
   Since my girl doesnt know much about most of the bands we see, i am left to kind of enjoy them by myself.  kind of boring, and a long drive from Baltimore, for "kind of boring"
 
   930 is not like the Black Cat though, in that regard.

Is it me, or does their new album totally suck?

she likes the same bands i do, and to be honest, shes more fun at a show where she's never heard the band, than most people there who love them.  
   its just usually Black Cat type bands are the one she's never heard of at all.

I was cold on it at first, because it sounds a bit too much like the last two.  But it's kind of grown on me.  It's subtly complex.

the show was disappointly short and the crowd soo tame, eh.  At least they did Porno.
