stephen malkmus (and the jicks)

<< < (2/2)

BlueCoatKarma:
You can expect it to rock. I saw them open for Radiohead a couple years ago. It was before I'd really listened to Pavement (I wouldn't have recognized the name Stephen Malkmus).

Actually, I can't think of anything spectacular about the show itself other than the music. They might not be the best at showman(/woman)ship, but if you have a good audience and like the music, it'll be an awesome show anyway.

Willis:
Three words of advice: GO SEE THEM!
Dude, for real.
I saw them...um...2? years ago (whenever Pig Lib was released) in Cleveland, coincidentally and at the Beachland Ballroom, coincidentally.  Seeing you're from Pa, I doubt you've been there.  Great little venue.  It used to be a Polish/Slovakian/some other Euro-ethnic meeting hall.  So the place has character to it.  But onto the topic at hand.  Yes, SM & the Jicks rocked the house down.  I've enjoyed both of his solo releases and I'm anticipating the third.  The one thing I liked about them was that they didn't take themselves too seriously.  They closed out the show with a blistering rendition of "Jenny and the Ess-Dog" which turned into a big jam session that featured one of the band members climbing the drum set while jamming on the cow bell.  One thing that is guaranteed by them: a good time will be had by all.

SeanBateman:
Man I really wanted to see them. Unfortunately, they are playing the same time as Wilco with The Roots, in LA, and that's too exciting to pass up

kilconey:
the beachland ballroom is an awesome venue.  i saw idlewild there two years ago - rocked the place.  
too bad the jicks show is before school gets out for me - i doubt i'll be able to get down there in the middle of exam week. :(
