Weekend Roll Call

So Caribou was cancelled. Drummer broke his wrist. :(

But it wasn't a total loss; Fuck Buttons stepped up and delivered a blistering set made up of what I'm pretty sure was Street Horrrsing front to back.


Best $5 I've spent in a while.

Very disappointing about the cancellation. But at least I didn't drive 4 1/2 hours like the people behind me (they drove from Blacksburg, VA).

F*ck Buttons were good but people were really there for Caribou. It was just very hard to get excited.

Ehh I left happy.


Surely Caribou will reschedule soon.

anything good this weekend?

Dirtbombs

Probably going to Apes/Health.


Was strongly considering Dirtbombs earlier but I dunno…

Just started listening to the Dirtbombs. Pretty good band. I like the "Wreck My Flow" song from the new album. Might consider this show since Kelly Stolz is opening.

I'm taking it easy this weekend due to money and the fact that I have three nights in a row of shows next weekend.

Just hitting Right Round tonight at the Black Cat for a friend's birthday.

And then saving up the rest of my cash to spend at for drag queen bingo next Tuesday night :D

The new Kelley Stoltz is solid.

Georgie James on saturday

ambulance ltd/wild light/bear hands tonight at maxwells.

and then a slow week till hot chip at the 9:30 club (almost a year to the date from the last time i was there).

Georgie James/Olivia and the Housemates

I'd love to see The Apes, but I don't really see that happening tonight.

Yeah I think I'm flaking on the apes too. And I have no real excuse; just don't feel like doing anything.
Tis gonna be a slow weekend.

I'm gonna stay home tonite and book a hotel for Lolla! :D

That reminds me; I need to book one for MBV Manchester soon. :D

Sushi Taro tomorrow!

Got my sorry ass off the couch this weekend to see the Dirtbombs for the first time and attend a show at the RNR hotel.

Naught special about the RNR Hotel for all the bands felt the sound was lacking especially in the vocals department. One have hardly known that Kelley Stoltzs group had a sax player in it. The vocal mix for the Dirtbombs improved over time, but was still a bit muddy.

The Dirtbombs blew my head off and managed early in their set to play two of my favorites songs in a row. "Sherlock Holmes" and "Motor City Baby".

Ended up with two encores which included a killer INXS cover during the first and the second encore while a bit self indulgent towards the end had drummer Ben Blackwell playing with floor tom on his for a bit, instrument switching and closing out with Blackwell doing his best Thurston Moore impression.

There really needs to be more fun in Rock and Roll again as is the case of Dirtbombs, and will really be glad when whiny indie rocks go out of favor.

Kelley Stoltz was good in the sounds vaguely familiar style, his older rockier material featured towards the end of the set was fun.

I thought Kelly Stoltz sucked but I have little tolerance for his earnest brand of MOR "adult-indie." His Garrison Keillor-esque between song banter was really irritating as well. (And was it my imagination or did he deliver much of it in an affected accent?)

The Dirtbombs were great. The only way I could have enjoyed it more is if they had played "They Hate Us In Scandinavia."

Soooooooo…

Who's got my friday spoon extra(s)?
