pantha was pretty nice. hard not to sound good in that room. pretty crowded for a tuesday night, too. pocahaunted on monday was surprisingly good as well.

^^ did pantha do an encore? I left after the main set (90 minutes).

dammit.  i also pulled a joe on pantha (or should it now be to "pull an azaghal"?).  crazy work + world cup has been wrecking havoc with the amount of sleep i'm getting so motivation to go out was really low last night.

i hope i can man up for SVI on thursday.

Locked in for tonight and tomorrow. Saturday's Aa/Dinowalrus show at Everlasting Life, too.


Kind of happy I skipped last night. First good night's sleep in literally weeks.

^^ happy you skipped a rare show?  :P

yeah, he came back for one more song after he finished the main set w/the one w/panda bear vocals. you didn't really miss much.

It's passed 6 PM and I still have energy. I forgot this actually felt good. So yeah, skipping it was worth it. And now I'll go act like a 15 year-old kid in a Melvins pit.

So overall not a bad night out.  Missed Hooray for Earth, but I'm not too broken up about it.  I like TPOBPAH much better on record than Surfer Blood, but it was the exact opposite live.  In fact, "Swim" was almost a low point in their set…the rest of the songs sounded good live.  Maybe they've worked on their live chops since that review James posted.

TPOBPAH, for such punchy songs, really didn't catch me at all.  The singer just doesn't have a strong voice live, and it left me a little lukewarm on their whole set.  Still enjoyable, but it definitely lost something in the translation.

Not sure…both bands on album are kind of just OK, but since I had other friends interested (and my wife OK'd the time out  ;D) I kind of jumped on the chance to see the show.  No clue how either are live.

nkotb can answer this……he is seeing that pitchfork band, Surfer Blood……

Any body know if the openers for the Pains are worth catching at BC wednesday?

Joe's review was pretty much the opposite of yours.


Melvins were awesome as expected. The double drums adds a new dimension to their sound. Isis continue to not be my bag. Cannot get passed those cartoon-sounding vocals.

SURFER YAWN

Melvins was great and incredibly loud….

Yeah, he's been chatting with me about it.  I think it's probably due to two factors:

1) I really didn't think the Surfer Blood album was all that great, so my expectations were pretty low.  With TPOBPAH, I dig their sound on record, and it seemed to me a no-brainer that they'd be more fun live.

2) I haven't been to a show since the Jesus Lizard.  I could've even stomached watching Broken Social Scene live and would've had a good time :)

It looks like I will be by myself tonight at the SVI/Ceremony/Soundpool show.  Say hi if you are bored, i will be a skinny guy with a shaved head and a beard wearing light grey chinos and a dark grey Voxtrot t shirt. 

;D
