I think this is more like #5.
Apes/Health
But the hipsters will disagree. ;)

Am I the only person who perceives Polvo and the Cure (both Friday, May 9) as a potential show conflict?
It's unlikely I'll see the Cure at Patriot Center – I loved their Sept. 1989 show at Cameron Indoor Stadium (capacity around 2000), but was not so happy with their show circa 1991 at the Dean Smith Center (capacity around 24,000). And I'm curious to see what Polvo is up to, especially at a venue the size of the Black Cat. But I have to say that both bands inspire high-school era music nostalgia for me.

I was all set to buy a Polvo ticket until I realized it was the same night as The Cure. It was a very short conflict, since I already bought Cure tickets. I thought The Cure were great a few years ago at Curiosa. That was my first time since '86 and I wasn't disappointed at all.

Not at all. The Cure of today is not the same as the Cure of yesteryears.

… vs. The Most Serene Republic.
i'd say that that the RnR show wins. seeing HF (opening for SFA) was one of the more impressive things i've seen in a while. i get the feeling that they're in a zone right now, so better to catch while catch can. and i'd be curious to see what APTBS's live show is like. but YMMV, so WTF.

I think Sons/Fuck/Strangers is the one to watch. All three bands are strong and all sound as if they'll roast on-stage, though in different ways.

It's a conflict, too, but not because of The Most Serene Republic. It's the opener LIAM FINN :)
Yeah, I think I'm going to Sons & Daughters/Holy Fuck/APTBS show. This is one good thing about the East Coast…you never see a bill like this in the Bay Area :eek:
I'll just get there early so I can see the bands play!!!

Good tip - just picked up his album on eMusic after watching that. This is really good.
