<BR>well, marr turned out to be pretty much what i expected after listening to "boomslang". absolutely nothing special all around. i still have a lot of respect for his capabilities as a musician, but i think he should be doing something a little bit more challenging than the healers material. i got so bored that i actually left before the show had even finished.<P>as for mellowdrone, it turned out even better than i had hoped. that guy is definitely one to watch in the coming months. with a strong ep, an excellent live show and a new album on it's way in only two months, i think he's going to be doing just fine. oh, and opening for a name like johnny marr won't hurt much either i am sure.

i enjoyed marr greatly, it was a blast being able to watch him play guitar so close up. the healers were a talented group of musicians, who i wished would have stretched a couple times. although the last song before the "encore" was a great t. rex stomper.<P>mellodrome was indeed a nice discovery. watching him setup his loops was interesting. he's an artist who can control his technology not the technology controlling him.<P>a big shoutout to my homies in the pit… markie, poorlulu, jauguar, mankie, lily1 and bunnymen…. although i wish markie hadn't been wearing his slippers when he crowd surfed over my head. talk about stinky!!!!!

I can't believe I missed the show… I bumped into Johnny Marr on sunday at Georgetown and had a brief chat with him… he said DC was a nice city and appeared to be concerned about the venue. Of the 3 members I think only Alonzo (bass player) had done the club circuit (Kula Shaker@930 a few years back)… I told him the Black Cat had remodeled not too long ago and that crowds are usually good… he was a gentleman and as I expected a top geezer overall… my idiot mates decided to extend our ski trip and I got back into the city past 12 yesterday… hope you all enjoyed the show.

Did you tell him the link to your website?

so was the Marr show full?
