wow, this is a
fantastic show. i never thought the radar bros. would come back to dc. back in '99 i saw them at the metro cafe and my friend and i were the only two paying customers. the only other people there were the opening band and bartender. it was really depressing. saw damien jurado a few months back at iota and it was quite good. he's a pretty intense dude.

I thought the Radar Bros. had been since then, because I thought that I considered going, maybe around 2001 or 2002, whenever it was that surrounding mountains came out, I just put that on
Jurado was awful when I saw him but I have been meaning to give him another shot, although Rhett didnt seem to crazy about it when he saw him last year

We found Jurado pretty boring when we saw him at Jammin Java.

yeah, i think the radar. bros might have been back one time opening for someone, you're right. and when you saw jurado, was he solo or w/a band? he was half and half last time at iota, and it was nice to hear him w/a backing band.

Solo. Definitely think he would have benefitted from a backup band. Like the one cd I have of his.

i saw him on the I Break Chairs tour (his rock album) and he had the guy from Pedro the Lion on drums and TW Walsh on guitar, it was too loud and nothing like the previous Jurado albums I had

Lucky Bags – I get to see them in Portland, OR next week. Of course, it's small recompense for a trip that is way too long for way too short a time.

Hey, in MT they get their music where they can. And kudos for starting them off right in the early years. ;)
I forgot I was going to make a post about churches being the new venue. A few artists are peforming at churches in Philly, Arlington, other locations. Just curious…(ex/Bloc Party)

Pitchfork:
Pitchfork: So tour is going well, I assume.
Rachel: Absolutely. The crowds have been great.
Colin: Surprisingly good. Our first two shows we were just trying to make the connection between Portland and Minneapolis so it was a lot of sort of odd, out of the way places. We played in Missoula, and Helena, like Montana shows, then played in Spearfist, South Dakota of all places, but they were all great.
Pitchfork: Helena is your hometown, right? How was that show?
Colin: It was funny, it was hilarious.
Rachel: It was really, really interesting because I think it was a lot of [Colin's] family, and a lot of kids, and old people, which is great. And they all sort of clapped very politely between every song, it was definitely like, more of a performance.
Colin: Yeah, we played in the theater there, the performance space, it was actually, you know, a sizable theater, and we were like on the cover of the Arts section of the local paper. It was nice, it was like this was a big deal, like, in the middle of nowhere, really.

you know, Helena is just an afternoons drive to Milk River, Alberta. i mean, isnt that all they HAVE are schools and churches! do they have any music venues, really? maybe one?
Yeah, one. Everything else within the state is held at a festival along the river. (Hoya, I meant additional artists not just those in the "punk scene". Many have churches on their schedules as of late.)
Well then, Colin is a cool cat.
