So it was suggested that someone should start a Nada Surf roll call. So here it is. It was also suggested that maybe boardies should meet in the back bar. Anyone game? If so, I suggest doing it sometime in the 8:45-9:45 frame. (Doors at 8, JG at 9, DS at 9:45, NS at 11). Perhaps Julian could give us a fashion show, or ikxpd could pontificate on which current newsmakers are cunts.

I did not.
Was actually planning to go to that Velvet show instead and didn't even do that either. :(

Here's the show preview in the NY Daily News. Ouch!
The funny thing is, I never even knew who they were until I heard Let Go in 2002 or 2003.
Nada Surf. Bring out your best baggy jeans and relive your mid-90s grunge rock days with Nada Surf. Best known for their 1996 hit "Popular," the band performs along with Delta Spirit and Grammercy Arms. Tomorrow at 8, $25. Bowery Ballroom, 6 Delancey St. (212-533-2111).

Yeah but the bill was still good either way.
I hope to be there. No sickies near me - I get enough of 'em at work!
I'll be there…I really like the jealous girlfriends and Nada Surf were pretty entertaining last time
We're assuming the donation table is in the back meeting area on the 1st floor near the bar. Either way, we'll be in that area mulling about at 9ish. Everyone can still see the bands they want and have a drink, er, two!
This show was an A+. Nada Surf only gets better each time they come around.
i had a good time at the show. delta spirit was better than the last time i saw them. i stepped on a girl's foot and she gave me the nastiest stink eye i think i've ever received. again, sorry about that. i was also pretty sure that one dude was going to fall off the balcony.
That one dude over on the far right was nuts. I was about in the 4th row on that side of the floor and was just waiting for him to come down on me.
I thought all 3 bands were good, with Delta Spirit being the best of them.

Nada Surf brought the goods, as always. Delta Spirit was good, but didn't blow me away. Jealous Girlfriends, not my cup of tea.
It's funny how Nada Surf has always has their merch for sale at a lower price than their openers.
When I was walking to the club, I was behind a guy who looked like the bass player for Nada Surf. When I was fishing for my id in front of the door, somebody tapped me on the shoulder and said "Excuse me" and then "Thanks". Indeed it was Mr. Lorca. I think the chain smoking is part of the stage act, as he wasn't smoking out on the street.
El Tee, I enjoyed meeting and hanging out. Joe Wanderlust, always a pleasure. Hope to see you both as well as the rest of y'all in 2009…as this was my last show of 08.

I don't know Nada Surf but they are often recommended to me, with buzz regarding good live shows. I was not very impressed; they sound like a generic version of a mash-up of a bunch of indie 90s bands [Teenage Fanclub, Buffalo Tom, Superdrag], all of which seem far better to me than Nada Surf. And the songwriting is awfully simplistic, not in a good way. Kind of odd, because I wouldn't have thought I'd notice or be put off by the songwriting during a live show of power pop… I enjoyed the first few songs, then it got kind of boring.
You're nuts.

I'm not going to necessarily deny that, but it is what it is.
