930 vs FSS:
http://www.silverspringsingular.com/2011/09/fillmore-vs-930-club-comparison.html
the pix from the linked photo gallery (http://www.washingtonian.com/PhotoGallery/393.html) make me think that the designers were very much inspired by the 930.
they even serve paninis - seth, call the lawyers!!!
the real question here is will my car be broken into and will i get shot walking out of which venue?
Who's got tickets this week? Any early reads on the venue?

you didn't hear about the 930 boardie boycott of the Fillmore?!
:o
Well, I wasn't expecting many takers on MaryJ. but Dead Mau5?
I would see Mary J way way way before subjecting myself to that Deadmau5 garbage again.
I still want that 15 minutes back.

deadmau5 at 930 = entertaining, technologically savvy, fun show
deadmau5 at Fillmore = your favorite douchebag's favorite douchebag, capitalizing on void left by daft punk, pandering with the obvious and derivative . . .past point of being interesting.
Context is key
According to the City Paper article from yesterday, they will be teaming with BYT to bring the crapalicious local bands BYT promote to Silver Spring.
Match made in bland music heaven.
Local tuesday with The Dance Party, US Royalty and Last Tide!
ugh.

Given their deep pockes, I would have thought they could pull something better for New Years Eve.

Really. They pretty much manage to keep out-laming themselves with each new booking.
If no one else has reported with the venue is actually like, I'll give my thoughts on it after the Primus show on Saturday.
for the certain crowd, of many generation old . . . little feat is a rare, awesome surprise!

Little Feat is a much better band than most of the flavor of the month nonsense that rolls through the 9:30 Club.
so you'll actually be going then?
Their bio says they've had a female lead singer since 2007. Is that the surprise?

How is Little Feat rare or awesome?
Re: awesome - Yes, they put out some good records many decades ago, but have they done anything relevant since? Plus, the main creative force behind the band's good period is dead and replaced by some lame new front person. I think there are few other original members left. I don't see how that could be awesome even for old people.
Re: rare - I don't pay attention to them, but I think they show up at places like the Birchmere all the time. They must play live often because I'm sure they don't make their money selling records these days. I did see Little Feat for a bit a couple of years ago because they were playing at a small waterfront festival in Alexandria that we went to for other reasons (activities for kids). That festival was either free of cost a couple of dollars to get into. and I heard a bit of Little Feat and it sucked, and not that many people were even watching it.
Also, fatskippy, while the 9:30 does get some of what you could call the flavor of the month, if you think that term accurately sums up 9:30's booking, then you know very little about music.

I'm not summing up anything. 9:30 Club gets some great acts, they also get some acts infinitely more lame than Little Feat. Have fun at the Bangles.
