I can't go, but to celebrate, I am listening to Dan Deacon EPs from 2004.

o, nm. Backdoor seems bigger than i remember.

You underestimate the Greenville audience for Dan Deacon, not to mention Future Islands.

8/15/2009 2:44:23 PM

what? no i dont. I live in greenville.

I was just commenting on how small i thought backdoor was, but looked at some photos and saw otherwise. Last I was there like 7 years ago I thought it was tinyyyy, maybe I was in a different part of it..

8/15/2009 2:49:47 PM

Well now I'm just confused.

8/15/2009 4:47:27 PM

NO IM CONFUSED?

8/15/2009 4:53:44 PM

I was watching Rush's 2004 R30 tour on Palladia the other night. I enjoyed it.

And Palladia broadcasts a number of good concerts. Recently, I've watched Jeff Beck and The Cure, among others.

WHY YOU BREAK FUTURE ISLANDS SPEAKER DAN

8/16/2009 1:49:06 AM

awww

knowing dan, he feels fucking awful

and will replace within two days

considering gerrit and william are in the ensemble and whatnot

8/16/2009 2:40:23 AM

i don't think he actually broke it, but he was messing with some sound thing and there was a
THUNDEROUS BASS sound and they were like WTF and stopped for a bit acting like shit was broken
and he was all "sorry!", but they were playing again in no time, maybe just a scare, UBER-RUN-ON-SENTENCE.

dan was awesome though.

some shitty photos:

8/16/2009 1:54:44 PM

I see me

8/16/2009 1:59:23 PM

is that dude in the front row naked?

8/16/2009 2:02:29 PM

yep

he was stripping down the whole show

luckily I didn't see the underwear come off

8/16/2009 2:05:34 PM

i think he was wearing blue briefs and some thick rimmed glasses. tried to get a clear photo for the 'look at this fucking hipster' site but i failed.

[Edited on August 16, 2009 at 2:12 PM. Reason : h]

8/16/2009 2:09:43 PM

his underwear is around his ankles in that picture

8/16/2009 2:10:33 PM

indeed. did you see the black and white dress chick dancing like an epileptic during javelin?

[Edited on August 16, 2009 at 2:35 PM. Reason : c]

8/16/2009 2:15:40 PM

i'm not sure if the naked guy is funnier than the girl playing gerrit's fingers

8/16/2009 8:12:37 PM

we weren't in there for Lonnie Walker or Javelin since we were drinking in the parking lot and we had seen them the night before

we were going to have the afterparty at our friends house but he pussed out on having a bunch of people over

I just realized that Sam is pointing at the naked dude

[Edited on August 16, 2009 at 8:27 PM. Reason : there were some real winners at that show]

8/16/2009 8:25:44 PM

Yeah, tough call. Either way, that photo delivers lulz.

I see so many familiar faces in that audience.

8/16/2009 8:26:30 PM

reminds me of spending so many weekends at backdoor in the late 90s

[Edited on August 17, 2009 at 9:12 AM. Reason : except the naked guy of course]

I'll be there tonight, I'm just trying to figure out who is opening.

If it's White Rabbits, it may be the first time in my life I go see the opening band and completely leave before the 2nd act, LOL.

I couldn't care less about Fiery Furnaces, to be honest. Oh, and, I'm getting old and work comes early.

When I saw them open for of Montreal is was some odd concoction of completely nonsensical shit. Maybe that's their usual, I dunno.

8/17/2009 3:23:14 PM

Probably doesn't belong here, but Silver http://www.silvermusiconline.com has a show at the Pour House this Saturday - 08.22

Shall be fun.

8/17/2009 4:16:19 PM

The New Deal at Lincoln Theatre, Thursday 8/17

8/17/2009 11:17:19 PM

So Fiery Furnaces and White Rabbits were pretty awesome.

Does anyone know what kind of guitar pedal the guitarist uses? seems like some kind of crazy delay or loop. I was watching him pretty much the whole time.

8/18/2009 4:33:46 AM

the white rabbits guitarist, that is

8/18/2009 1:20:52 PM

this is [old], but here is my lone picture from saturday night

8/18/2009 2:13:24 PM

I thought the White Rabbits were fucking great last night. That was the second time I had seen them and they did not disappoint.

awesome.

Dan Deacon/Nuclear Power Pants Oct. 1 at Cradle

I fucking love Nuclear Power Pants. The music I can take or leave, but the show is too bizarre not to love.

8/18/2009 8:13:50 PM

Monotonix are coming to The Pour House soon. we got a rad poster for it

8/18/2009 9:23:35 PM

8/18/2009 10:21:16 PM

8/19/2009 12:08:52 AM

8/20/2009 3:58:08 PM

^^ crazy. i was just thinking about them today for the first time in a LONG time. Im not up that way anymore but thats a crazy coincidence.

8/20/2009 4:15:18 PM

stu has started to work on actual studio recordings with the band

they might blow up

8/20/2009 6:21:10 PM

Went to Tir na nog last night for local band local beer with Free Electric State and A Rooster for the Masses. Not only does FES write songs that use similar structures/melodies as mbv but the sound density and fuzz on the guitars was nearly exactly the same as mbv's richmond show at times and I heard people around me commenting on how they were glad they brought earplugs. But enough comparisons, it was a great sounding night. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to stay for A Rooster for the Masses which I have never seen live and was curious about.

Tonight, probably checking out Caltrop at slim's...

from CNN:

Quote :

"Nine Inch Nails kicked off the second show of their farewell tour Sunday night with a milestone in the band’s 20-year history: a live performance of their 1994 album “The Downward Spiral” in its entirety and sequence which stunned the audience of 1,400 at Webster Hall. This is the first – and could possibly be the only – time they have done this."

pretty awesome.

8/25/2009 7:48:50 AM
