Show Conflict # 3?

I saw them open for somebody at the 9:30 Club and found them highly annoying.

Sons And Daughters 1045-12am
Holy F*ck 930-1015pm
A Place To Bury Strangers 830-915pm

I'm in. I'm not familiar with Sons and Daughters, but I'm really looking forward to the other two bands. Are S&D really worth losing sleep over?

They're nothing particularly special, but they have solid, well-written, well-sung songs that often take a catchy riff as a springboard into a big chorus. It's not very innovative and their disc sometimes sounds a little too polished and slick, but if you drape some loud guitars on those songs, I'll bet it will be hot.

Y'know, now that you mention it, I think I saw them as an opener too. What show would that have been? Morning Jacket? Wilco? Trying to think where we'd overlap.

Anyway, I don't remember being very impressed with them at the time. Their current album wasn't out (and obviously I wasn't familiar with them), and it was at the 9:30, so circumstances are different this time.

Took a bit of googling, but apparently it was the Decemberists on 10/2/05. Sound right?

JESUS ECLIPSE, that's almost worse.

Who opened for Franz Ferdinand a few years ago? I think it was their first 9:30 show after the debut came out.

The only time they are listed as playing the 9;30 Club here: http://www.sonsanddaughtersloveyou.com/shows.php
is 10/2/05.

Who did they open for on that date?

on the upside, aren't S&D the closers? if they don't work for you, you'll be able to bail earlier. so it becomes a game-time decision, as opposed to an opener that you have to sit through (or go to the bar upstairs and lose your spot on the floor).

Based on my research, S&D have only played once at the 9:30 Club (2005 with the Decemberists)…

You probably saw them at the Black Cat…?

Yep. That's the plan. But if the consensus was that they really, really suck, I wouldn't have to waste the extra 30 minutes of dead time before they come on to find out for myself.

Conversely, if the consensus is "OMG!?! - They're the greatest thing since Lou Reed!!!", I might stick around.

Sons and Daughters.

in which case: does anyone know how buff the members of Sons & Daughters are?

they are skinny…except for the plumpy lead singer.

She looked like a somewhat skinnier version of Beth Ditto, or a somewhat heavier version of Meg White.

LOVE IS ALL / VIDEOHIPPOS vs. THE BREEDERS?

Dan Deacon V. Modey Lemon?

Ulrich Schnauss V. Butthole Surfers?

Anytime you don't pick Gibby you've done yourself a disservice IMHO but to each their own.

Scratch that last one; they're on different nights.

It's Butthole Surfers V. Sharron Kraus/United Bible Studies which is a tougher call.


Butthole Surfers doors are at 7, though. If United Bible Studies don't go on until after 12, both would be doable.
