wait, did people expect the vines to be good?
worst show you've ever seen at 9:30?
Hooverphonic and Snowpony back in 98 or so was pretty bad. But the worst I've seen at the 930 would have to be Cornershop. They were filming for HBO. I've always liked whatever I've heard by them, but live they were boring.

aww…i thought the fatboy slim show was one of the best shows ive ever seen at 930.
There was no "SHOW", apart from those two slappers on the stage, but you get a couple of those in any given "DISCO" so don't count.
If you want to say it was fun, a laugh, enjoyable, a great atmoshpere, I'll accept. I might disagree with you, but will accept it. But never in a million years was it a "SHOW"
Mankie, what exactly were you expecting from Fatboy Slim?

I was expecting something more than just someone playing records seeing as it was Fatboy Slim, you can get that in Crush in Adams Morgan every night of the week. Seeing as it was at the 930 I expected some type of performance..something like Stereo MC's did at the hfs'tival years ago. He's basically a DJ too but puts on a show mixing records with musicians, and it was excellent.

CAT POWER…definitely. I actually heckled Chan toward the end of the night after a horrendous cover of the White Stripes. I think she left the stage soon after, not returning to encore. Thank Christ! I would have thrown my beer bottle at her eventually. I really enjoyed her recorded stuff before that show and now I can't even bear to listen to it. She should definitely stick to the studio.
Garrisson Starr
Ruby (she of "Tiny Meat" fame). Dreadful show.

I forgot to mention Charlotte Martin, who opened for Paul Kelly a few months ago – maudlin wailing and tuneless piano pounding at a volume that would make Lemmy cringe – there is a circle in hell for Tori Amos and her acolytes.
On the topic of Fatboy slim and disco vs. show, did anyone else see Aphex Twin w/Death in Vegas and the Sneaker Pimps? That was one weird show. Aphex Twin had his laptop, a coffee table and a sofa, minimal lights…just him fiddling with his stuff, curled up on the sofa, and then after a while 2 overstuffed teddy bears dancing out onto the stage.
Originally posted by bunnyman:Yup, I think that will go down as the hottest temperature wise show I've ever been to at the club. I don't know how those people in the bears could handle the heat!

Worst show I saw was at the old 9:30 location. The Dude of Life! He had some connection to one of the Phish guys, and he worked it into a mini-tour. Awful show. Can't remember why I even went.

Worst Opener: Mindwar Symphony in November 2001
Worst Headliner: Deftones in May 2003. I could only 3 three songs from that entire show (Minevra, Change in the house of flys and Shut Up and Drive). I wish someone cranked Chino's mic up to 11 so I can here what the fuck he's saying.

I've never been a Pavement fan, and never seen them live…but my guess is that their audience got older, finished grad school, and got real jobs, jobs which allowed them to become "yuppies".
As opposed to your "a bunch of yuppies discovered Pavement" take on it.
As if indie rock fandom weren't completely populated by yuppies or people on the path to yuppiedom anyway…

i love how two people mentioned u.s. maple. so predictable, especially on this board of (mostly) squares. i saw that tour in boston – i wasn't going to go because i thought pavement sucked by then but i got a free ticket – and the crowd booed during maple's set. i didn't take too much offense considering the amount of whitecaps and yuppies who just discovered pavement. maple's set made me a fan and they are one of my favorite bands right now, especially live. i thought pavement blew that night, except for the three pre-brighten the corners songs. and i love everything pavement did up until and including wowee zowee.
one of the main aspects of u.s. maple's performances is their antagonization of the audience, if the audience doesn't "get it". they're kind of like the locust in that regard.
since i work at the club, i will refrain from listing all the absolutely atrocious bands i've seen in the last year.
