Rock shows

[phattymatty]

i saw them about two years ago before they started to get big at a small club in dc and it's still one of the top 4-5 shows i've ever been to.  i saw them again last year at an old empty swimming pool in brooklyn and it still rocked but it was outside and didn't sound quite as good.

McCarren park/pool, or something like that.  ClearChannel ran that place last summer.  Would have gone to a show there if not for that fact.

yeah thats it, right between greenpoint and williamsburg.

Cool as place to have a show, physically speaking.  Can't speak to the sound.  And farg ClearChannel.

Ken Andrews at the Double Door last night.  Sounded great.  He even played some Failure and Year of the Rabbit tracks.  Apparently, the band that opened "Bearclaw" was really good too, but we missed them due to our pre-show drinking at a nearby bar.

cold war kids were pretty awesome last night, sounded even better live than they do on cd.

[Diomedes]

that's quite a comment, considering how good the cd is.  i especially love the "hidden" track at the end

[phattymatty]

yeah awesome show.  i guess they don't have a whole lot more stuff than whats on that album though because that's all i have of them and i recognized almost every song.  maybe one that i didn't.   but they sounded great. 

[Diomedes]

no new material..they didn't even cover a few old standards?  interesting. 

was it a short set?

[phattymatty]

they played maybe an hour, possibly a little longer.  they did a cover at the end that was pretty good, called well, well, well.

Saw Peeping Tom on Sunday night.  Pretty good show.  Kinda what i was expecting.  Not as kick ass as other Patton projects.  He did have this girl named Butterscotch beatboxing though.

She's no Rahzel, but she's half his age and hasn't flushed her career down the toilet by attempting to go solo.

No thanks.  Arena shows aren't fun.

This probably doesn't fit in this thread, but I saw Billy Joel in Toronto Last week, and I have to say: he's still got it...
