Not really sure I want to jump in on this debate, but Cursive and The Good Life are two of the most consistent live bands around these days - especially Cursive. I've seen both bands many many times, and have yet to be disappointed. Bright Eyes, on the other hand, couldn't be more inconsistent in performing. No matter how much I love them, I have often walked away disappointed. I'm not even sure who you guys are criticizing anymore, but if it's Cursive, I would be very surprised.
As far as BDB vs. BSP… last time I saw BDB he was horribly rude to the crowd. I seem to hear this all the time in reviews. That's not my cup of tea, so I think I'll be catching BSP.

Ok…..
The good life were not good last time I saw them at the black cat. They were supporting Rilo Kiley as I remeber. The lead guy was off. Pollard/jadetree will concur.
Badly drawn boy insulting to the audience? I dont remember it quite like that. What do you think he said/did?
His last show at the 930 was not the best ever. But his songs are amazing.

Originally posted by J'Mal: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.

BRITISH SEA POWER
Originally posted by markie:I thought Tim sounded great that night, but that's cool if you didn't. As far as the last BDB show, I felt like he was really copping an attitude with some folks in the front. He made fun of some girl standing near me and kept rolling his eyes at people. And then there was that whole, "they don't know who they're messing with" act that got pretty annoying.

I thought he sounded pretty good, though, especially when he gave us a choice between Pissing In the Wind and Disillusion. I thought I wanted to hear Disillusion, but Pissing in the Wind ended up being the highlight of the show.
Originally posted by bungle bud:Sea Power will be the show I'm at for sure!! I just spoke to a guy in L.A. who saw them a week or so ago and said it was one of the wierder shows he's seen in a LONG time!! Can't friggin' wait!
BRITISH SEA POWER
Go see BRITISH SEA POWER. I thought they were a lot of fun opening for the Libertines a couple of months ago. BDB seems like he would be boring.
I will be front and center at the British Sea Power / Phaser show. The weirdness of BSP definitely appeals to me. And I've talked to a lot of people who are going, so it should be a good crowd.
ack, i was hoping there would be a big divisive swing in one direction of a musician but instead its split!
and i still can't decide!
arrrgghhh. well, at least i can take comfort that as of right now, the work monster shouldn't attack friday night. (she says with trepidation)

Walkie, stop talking people into going to BSP. I don´t have my ticket yet!
gee jag, i thought for sure you'd be on phaser's guest list considering all the promoting you've done for them on this bb! they should hook you up!
Originally posted by lily1:I know they should but as far as I know, they don't even know that I exist. :confused:

And that doesn't count all of the people that I know of who bought and love their CD from different parts of England, Italy, Canada, Scotland, and various other parts of the US, all because of me.

*goes to his room*
i think we need to stage a protest in front of the club during sound check. really, you might as well be the band's promoter. certainly more fun than teaching school!
