Sugar "T" - I think the guy you pushed upright was Brandon - the keyboardist from SM. He's not a big dude: what d-bag would pick on him? BTW: what was your fav. CD everyone was raving about?
Interpol Rollcall
hi,
new here. went to the interpol show last night. i've been a fan of theirs and the bands they sound like for a long time. was anyone else dismayed at their apparent lack of, i don't know, "giving a shit" maybe? they seemed sloppy, and took forever between songs. i don't expect perfection, but after the amount of time that those guys have been on the road, i ask for just a little professionalism, and i would guess that they're either wearing out, or they just don't care. and to top it off, where the hell did carlos go in the middle of the set? was he taking a piss? has this already been discussed? i saw them at the cure show this summer, and they were on. but to pay $25 to see them just fuck around on their own was kind of a bummer.

i had seen the secret machines before at the black cat so i left for the show later than usual. i caught the last half of SM's set and i was pretty impressed…the bob dylan song was a really interesting cover choice but it worked well. i've always loved that song.
i thought the show last night was decent. definitely too short tho. to charge $25 and play an hour set seemed ridiculous. i agree that they performed better at curiosa too; they were a bit sloppy last night, false starts and all. obstacle 1 and evil were fab tho. i enjoyed seeing them a small(ish) club but wish it hadn't been so friggen packed. i was surrounded by these gargantuan people on the floor…interpol definitely attracts a taller crowd (is it genetic?). i finally moved to the balcony so that i could see the band but was sandwiched between some uninterested gabbers on the side wall and two won-some-tix-on-hfs couples who had not a clue who the band was but insisted on blocking out everyone behind them. no one on my side of the balcony (left side near the ladies room) seemed to be that into the show. as for complaints about the lack of band energy on stage…listen to an interpol album and anyone should know not to expect a raucous show with crazy rock-and-roll posturing and antics (no pun intended), except for the oh-so-gorgeous carlos posing with his bass in his military get-up. the crowd definitely could have been more animated tho. i've been saying that about dc crowds for a long time…these people should just drop the pretention and loosen up.

as we were getting into our car, these VERY loud and VERY drunk people were walking to thier car (which was behind ours on the st.) and yelling about how…"someone shusshed me at a concert!!"
no shit lady.
then when i asked her if she was driving her friends home in that state she said "shut up or I'll ram your car" ok , ram my $2500 car.
really made me laugh. somehow i meet all the crazies when i go out!

but she was MUCH more drunk than i was. I had a decent buzz, this girl was "wasted". or maybe just overly excited. either way, it was just ironic that she was yelling about being shusshed. :)
On! Air! Library! did nothing for me. I kept looking at my watch waiting for the SM set.
SM were very good, as is their latest album, but I don't think I'd see them to headline a show unless it was $10 (like at the Black Cat a few months ago).
This was my first time seeing Interpol, and they were good enough, though not great. The crowd was terrible though. A lot of assholes, not unlike the GBV show. Kind of expensive for a short set, but I would do it over again for Interpol.

Originally posted by Rob_Gee:yes. i know. I was going to say the same about your girl except, i still think you would swing first, though she would not be far behind. :)

You shoulda seen her at the Ministry concert, she was getting so ticked off at this one girl who kept bumping against me outside of the pit, she pushed her twice, throwing her half way thru the pit, I was laughing my butt off. Luckily I was able to get it surgically back on, for that I am thankful. :)
