That last Echo show at the Black Cat was underwhelming, but I have a feeling that this will be a much better show. I just wouldn't miss Will Sergeant playing "the Killing Moon" for anything. I prefer Calexico when they're playing with Iron and Wine anyway.
Anybody Seeing Echo and the Bunnymen
I've been seeing Echo & The Bunnyman in the strangest of places lately. Last week when I was at Dunkin' Donuts ordering a Light Latte I espied Echo & The Bunnyman. They were disguised as blueberry jelly donuts and they were hiding out in the display case. They must have thought that they were doing a good job at camouflaging themselves, but I spotted 'em right away.
Originally posted by bearman:Bummin' I have to miss this. What songs are they mixing into Do It Clean these days?
They've been playing Do It Clean almost every night on the current tour, which they haven't played since 2001. That is my fave Echo song, one of my ALL-time favorite songs. The live version blows me away every time. I'm so there, and Bags, you have to come as well!
I'm not sure, but there's always lyrics of "Sex Machine" and "All You Need Is Love".
Hey, now that I've seen a playlist and listened to all of Crocodiles, Porcupine and Ocean Rain – show's sold out. If anyone hears of an extra ticket, lemme know.

brightblack morning light and espers at dc9 will likely be better than echo and the bunnymen and calexico combined.
Bags, let's talk on Monday, I might be able to hook you up.

I got shut out of tickets 3 days ago. If anyone else knows of any floating about, please let me know…thanks!
Originally posted by Weird Little Self Loathing Man:I'm probably way off, but I always took the obvious interpretation that it was about an assassin. As in, kill the guy, but do it clean. I always thought the line "here, there, nowhere" was in reference to the victim being vulnerable to the assassin everywhere he goes and not being able to see him.
What exactly does "Do it Clean" mean?
So…anyone going tonight?

Great show last night. Here's the setlist (I have it at home, but I think this is everything):

Show of Strength
Stormy Weather
Seven Seas
Bring on the Dancing Horses
the Disease
Scissors in the Sand
All That Jazz
The Back of Love
All My Colours (Zimbo)
The Killing Moon
Do It Clean
Never Stop

Rescue
The Cutter
—————–
Nothing Lasts Forever/Walk on the Wild Side

Ocean Rain
Over the Wall was supposed to be played before Ocean rain, but the band went on at 11pm and finished up at 12:30. Bags, great to see you…I managed to get a cab home (after getting in one and then being told that he was only going to Virginia), then I found I had no power once I got there. Argh…anyway, all in all, a better show than the one in November. I was just happy to hear Do It Clean again.

Thanks to bearman I not only saw the show, but was 10 feet from dear Ian and 6 feet from Will Sargent.
"Do It Clean" made it all worthwhile, definitely the best song played.
The opener, BoysKillBoys or something like tht, sounded pretty good except that it was WAY too loud, so I really just wanted them off the stage. I'd like to check them out at normal volumes.
Glad I made it out. Thanks again, bearman!!!

I totally agree…"Do It Clean" made my night! Plus, it's so great to watch Will play guitar. I never get tired of watching him play "the Killing Moon" or "Ocean Rain". Great stuff…glad that it worked out Bags. I suspect a lot of people didn't make it out to the show because of the rain.
I planted myself in front of Will to watch his guitar mastery. I was about 5 people deep. I let a few shorties in front of me. It must suck being short at GA shows. That is the 2nd show at the Black Cat where Ian's voice sounded great!
I thought Boy Kill Boy were pretty good as well. I'll definitely check out their album when it is released in the states.

Oh GOD…that was the WORST. A total trainwreck. "Me voice is fucked." I'll say.
HFStival was a disappointment. He did make attempts to go on with the appearance but it was clear his voice was completely shot. Probably would have been better for them not to even attempt to play that day.
Funny thing is that 2 nights earlier in Philly they were awesome, one of the best times I've seen them.
