Originally posted by Bags:Depends… Know anything about Baby Dayliner? Anyone know if they are worth seeing? From what I hear on their web site (http://www.babydayliner.com/), it sounds very electronic. I think I'll probably pass and show up around 9:30, I guess.

Me too.
I'll be there. Glad they decided to stop by DC this time.
yes.
first one I can make in a while. wouldn't miss it for the world.
it was pretty good…but only 2 songs from Sad Songs which was a dissapointment for me
Did anyone else think Baby Dayliner was one of the worst opening acts <i> ever </i>?
It was like a bad Morrissey impersonator…doing disco…but with the dance stylings of a Backstreet Boy.
Ick.

They did comment last night that people only request the old songs.
Oh and baby dayliner were awful. I got a free promo with a couple of his songs on it last night. I am looking forward to hearing if the recorded version could be as bad. I think the songs sounded like they might be alright but the stage presence and sound was quite off-putting.
Baby Dayliner was very entertaining and anyone who didn't dig it has got to loosen up.
Dude had guts, stepping in front of an indie-rock crowd by himself and performing a crooner act a la Scott Walker over a mainly hip-hop/soul backing track. And I think his dance moves were more a throwback to the Temptations then Backstreet boys.
I copped a CD and shook his hand. I plan on making his record the soundtrack to my next cocktail party.
The National were decent. They didn't blow me away or anything…

Originally posted by LonnieBeale:It would seem most people there agreed with you. It was not one of the more enthusiastic Black Cat crowds I've been a part of. I, on the other hand, was blown away. I thought it was one of the best shows I've been to in the past year. It far exceeded my expectations. FYI, I like old and new National, and I've probably listened to "Cherry Tree" more than "Alligator", for what it's worth.
