dude, i couldn’t tell if they were good or not, because it was just way too loud! yeah, it probably sounds wimpy to say, but frankly if you just get blasted with static with no discernible rhythm or tone, it’s just shit. the kit they had might have a suited a much bigger venue, but it just sounded awful last night. spare a few, i could barely tell what songs they were playing. i’d seen j on his own a few years back and lou in folk implosion and sebadoh, all of which were far more memorable experiences than last night. i don’t think i’m alone, the tickets were expensive and it wasn’t a weekend, so only people who really wanted to see them would have gone, but the crowd seemed completely unmoved and unmoving and just sort of filed out in silence when it was over (many had left throughout the show).
