Gigs you've been to and your thoughts.
the Goat:
Last show I saw was Jay Reatard at the Black Cat in DC, and it was pretty fucking great. I had missed him the past couple of times he'd been in this neck of the woods so I was pretty psyched and it lived up to all of my expectations.
I stood around for about half an hour waiting to be let upstairs, then sat through another 2 hours of opening acts and setups. Jay Reatard came on and played for 30 minutes, straight. No greeting to the audience, soundcheck was 10 seconds long, and every single song sounded like it was in double time. When they finished a song, there was a brief pause, then Jay would shout the next song and then they'd start playing. It was very much in the style of the Ramones; no bullshit, just lots of fast, loud rock n' roll and then gone. If I were to make a none-ordinal list of best shows, it would definitely be up there.

Oh, man, its the City Paper. That is just perfect.
Seriously, this is cracking me up right now.

To the gentleman I was discussing Little Red with recently (Ishotdanieljohnston) - check out the Greasers if you haven't already - It's sort of Dom (Lil'Red frontman)'s "side project". Much bluesier. They're doing 3 gigs this week, can't remember the venues though. I saw them at the East Brunswick on Friday night, then proceeded to get very drunk. My housemate and I wound up watching Chris Cunningham videos and drinking tequila until 4. But yeah, hoping to catch them again on Thursday I think?
Also: (shameless plug) Fritzwicky's second gig this Saturday!
TheFuriousWombat:
I'm seeing Efterklang tomorrow night! I really can't wait. I've heard nothing but spectacular things about their lives shows. Thoughts to follow.
sean:
Man, I should of seen Efterklang yesterday, but all my friends were cunts and did not want to go. Also the venue they were playing at is not very metro accessible and I take metro just about everywhere. Fuck you rock and roll hotel.
I hope they are good!
