The Last Show You Saw

thermodynamics:
I just saw Unwed Sailor Thursday Night at The End in Nashville. I always like seeing them and i got my favorite spot: front and center stage. they played 2 or 3 new songs along with a ton of their back catalog. they were set up different then when i saw them in 2002-2003... the bass player was surronged with keyboards and thrashed around in the little 'pen' made when the keys boxed him in. the drumming was ace as always and the rhodes was especially sweet on this occasion. Damn... it was worth getting in bed at 1:30, then getting up 3 hours later for an 8 hour workday.

a local band opened and played some awesome instrumentals in a 5 song set, which reminded me a lot of explosions in the sky dynamics with bass riffs from modest mouse 'moon and antarctica' (the bass was a little more datached and played a counter-role... it was also more punchy and actually played like a bass, unlike the guitar-like style of EITS guitarist/bassist)... this local band (who i didn't catch a name for) has 4 members. they were set up just like EITS, the rhythm guy played a telecaster and rocked out a lot... the middle man played a rickenbacker hollowbody and played most of the lead. a lot of repetitive single note phrases that the rhythm would harmonize with every now and then... the bassist was stage left and layed down pretty good rhythm on his pbass

then some shitty band that sounded like 3 doors down. i fucking hate bands like that... they get up on stage, and the singer basically wears a les paul for looks and every now and then bars a chord or two on his drop-d tuned guitar. that, and his voice was worse than i've heard in a long time... they were called "fear and trembling" or something to that effect. everyone cleared out after the opener because this band sucked so bad... once they were done, somone stuck their head out the door and yelled "Unwed Sailor is gonna play now!" and it filled up quick.

Highlander:
Iron Maiden. It rocked.

trill:
I went to the Plan-it-X on the 4th.
I think there were about 12 bands. I missed a few due to some train tracks hijinks, but I did get to see three of my absolute favorite bands:

Ghost Mice. They place completely aoustic, don't even use mics. And the thing is, you can't even tell. I'll resist a rant about other bands letting the music overpower the lyrics, but it was refreshing to be able to make out every word for once.

Defiance, Ohio. They're just so fun to see live, and I know almost every one of their songs by heart now.

This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb. It was about 1:30 in the morning by the time they played, and I'm sure Terry and Rymodee were exhausted because they'd been working at their restaraunts pretty much the last 12 hours, but you caouldn't tell. And I danced at a show for the first time. The only complaint that I have is that they didn't play Johnny.
