Best show I've seen this year. Both bands sounded great, and I especially liked how the two Warlocks drummers pretty much played the same beats, giving their sound more power. My only thought during their set was, just think how great they would be if someone like Richard Ashcroft were singing over the top. The current singer's vocals didn't seem strong enough to climb over the din of the band.
BRMC were much better than I'd thought or could have hoped. Real good and real loud.

alright a few things to say

one, the club's decision was a fair and very nice one too, that unused tickets can be turned in for a different show? I didn't even buy a ticket and I think that's awesome. I didn't even go, so I missed out altogether. but I think the club did a good job.

two, about the warlocks' sound, yes the drum beat is very strong, but not harsh, which is their main attraction. really really great percussion. bobby's voice is very weak and often not on key but I think that adds to it for me, because the drum beat and the guitars are so strong and powerful, I like that it's imperfected by the weak vocals, it makes it more interesting. but they're the sweetest boys anyways, a talented bunch. they have an awesome sound in my opinion

three, since I missed the shows this weekend, I'll be going up to NYC tomorrow. I'd offer to review it for you all but you know my opinion is biased and you know what I'll say. I'll try and get a set list

cannot WAIT to see those boys…I love them to death….and goddamn do I love new york…I'm so happy :D who wants to come with us??

couldn't agree more. I was talking about the simultaneous drums at the show…totally makes their sound.

I'm a little disappointed.

"One six-pack of beer (NO hard liquor)"

Where are the demands for a bowl of M&M's with all the brown ones removed?

Or at least a request for an eight-ball, a 3-foot tank of medical-grade nitrous, and a half-dozen women of easy virtue?

Rock'n Roll just ain't what it used to be….

My 11th grade English teacher (a former member of DC new-wave band Tiny Desk Unit) actually performed the M & M task for the Ramones before a 930 show in the late 70's/early 80's. He quit.
