The Last Show You Saw
muffy:
Dude, homoeroticism AND washboards?
Suddenly, all other gigs pale into insignificance...
Skibas_clavicle:
I'm going to see Of Montreal this saturday. YAY! I suggest everyone give them a listen. Im also hoping that I can get Alkaline Trio tickets for June. CREDIT CARD!

1) The lead singer of it started wearing like a sailor hat, cowboy boots, a checked suit jacket, a black undershirt, and a neon green sailor tie, and by the end it was just him, his underoos, his boots and his hat. He also danced suggestively with the washboard player, and then moved into the crowd, almost completely naked, to stand there like a scenester with his arms crossed and watch the washboard player do a 3-minute washboard solo.
2) Said washboard player was an angry, fat, possibly psychotic man who yelled, tore his undershirt, used his washboard-playin' spoons to throw his underarm sweat into the audience, and owned (as you probably guessed) a washboard with (as you probably didn't guess) two cowbells attached.
Pretty much the best opening act ever.
StrikeThePostman:
I saw the Shins last night and they were fantastic! Unfortunately, the opening acts (The Brunettes and Talib Kweli) were horribly boring. I guess they just got everyone even more excited to see the Shins.
Praeserpium Machinarum:
I saw Figurines and My Friend George tonight, and as that probably won't mean a lot to you folks, I am going to give a somewhat detailed report.
We (me and my little brother) came at 8 o'clock, but the show (the start of Figurines' Denmark tour) first started at around 10, so we were pretty anxious, when the warm-up band My Friend George came on. They were good, a sort of slacker surf rock, is as close as I can put it, both the drummer and the lead guitarist sang and they had a song called 'Happy Tuna', bonus points for that. I'll give them three stars out of five.
Then Figurines came on and they rocked. They play energetic indierock with cryptic lyrics and they were as tight as a very tight thing. The show was near perfect; of course they mostly played songs from their new record Skeleton, but a few old ones from their debut Shake a Mountain was there too. It is ner impossible not to sing along to Ambush with the fantastic line "Chase them down because you are angry". It ended perfect with a steaming version of Debate Cos it's Over. All in all only one minor thing could have been better and that is if they had played Follow the Pioneers, a favourite of mine, I give them four and a half stars plus my soul :)
