badly drawn boy or british sea power?

British Sea Power played a strong, noisy set at the Black Cat a few months ago, and they have distinctive, funny songs, sort of a hyper Echo and the Bunnyment. Badly Drawn Boy, on the other hand, has tunes like wet tissue paper, and one of the worst live shows I've ever seen, up there with Flipper as far as contempt for the audience goes.

I am not entirely sure what that means.

BDB didnt appear to be in a very good mood at the last show. He was much happier the time before.

If I ran the club, i wouldn't book him again without a major apology for his shitty performance.

We respect the musicians by paying to hear them play. They should respect us by trying to do so.

I have seen much worse performances. Infact I still thought the show was good. Its not like he stormed off after doing a 30 minute set or anything.

Plus some of the histrionics may well have been staged. He threw the harmonica into the audience at another show I read the review of.

The music is so good, imho, that he can do what he wants on stage.

no, don't really care for jamiroquai.

I really wanted to see Cursive but they were the 4th band at the black cat and i didn't want to see them at 3a.m. on a tuesday.

were they drunk, rude, unable to perform, and not rehearsed???

No. I think BDB was well rehearsed, it was toward the end of his tour. I think those things are all part of his schtick. think of him as a UK Lou Reed.

Have you ever thought that I might have said that so as not to offend you?

I was strugling to think of someone who played that was bad. I seem to have blanked them all out.

I did not even know you when you saw them the first time.

yup, that would be Bright Eyes and the good life opened for them, Bright Eyes was awful that night and good life were very good, unlike the second show in both cases

Actually they were good that time, much as I loathe to admit it.
