You've been around here long enough to know that plugging a dc9 show in a snailhook thread is a fucking aggregious 930 board faux pas.
Oh and come to DMBQ afterwards so Sweetcell can get a ride home.
you can make it to both shows…The New Year are awesome dude. They play at 10 pm! The Uglysuit (opener) are great as well.
There is a chance I'll make it to the DMBQ show…
P.S. I didn't give you a hard time with your Lewis Black show….LOL. :D You going to Gallagher too???

Lewis Black's brilliant.
I want to see Awesome Color and Pit Er Pat.
Awesome Color impressed me when they opened for Dino Jr. and the new Pit Er Pat album is all sorts of great as I mentioned earlier.

So that was ridiculous.
Hype = lived up to and exceeded.

what time did they hit the stage? Pit Er Pat were still playing at midnight when I stopped by the venue after the New Year show…
12:20-ish?
They were done by 1:05.

That's what I remember from the times I've seen them before, they don't play long. Which has its merit – I'd rather be left wanting than checking the clock. But man, I've really been left wanting.
Sorry to have missed it, but I've got a sick grumpy wife, a 4-year-old who has just discovered the wonderful world of nightmares, and a 6-month-old who wakes up laughing, chirping and happy to be alive every hour and a half.

They're sooo cute during the first few months. They are awake at night, eat a lot, and poop a lot though… :( :p
I know this because I take care of my friend's baby nowadays..his wife is CRAZY. I think she's threatened by the baby. LOL

easily one of the best shows of the year.
and wanderlust, i love the new year. saw 'em in philly at JB's two weeks ago, and they were fantastic as always. i wish i could have booked them at the velvet lounge. still…nothing trumps DMBQ, unless you just don't care for fuzz riffs and entertainment. i suppose if you're looking for emotional catharsis, the new year is the way to go.
also, fuck dc9 ;)

Meant to but didn't get a chance to ask you what you thought of the MBV shows last night. I ended up making it to the second night of Roseland and still can't come up with the right words to sum up that transcendental experience.
Because of the staggered set times, I was able to catch both New Year and DMBQ. Thanks to Snailhook and Wanderlust for the chastising recommendations.
New Year were solid. Full-bodied like the Brooklyn Chocolate Stout I was drinking…and appropriate to the dropping DC temperatures.
DMBQ was full on. The Japanese are taking our ideas and making them better again…just like auto industry.

The Japanese are taking our ideas and making them better again…they've been doing this, musically, since the late '60s (i.e., the jacks, flower travelin' band, speed glue & shinki, samurai, far out, kan mikami, karou abe).

Glad you went and consider yourself lucky. The New Year don't tour that much in the States it seems…2004 was the last time they played DC!

it's not my favorite venue, but I've seen so many good shows there…it's better than Red and Black for sure.

getting dragged through rusty nails in better than the red and the black, so that's not saying much.
how was attendance at dc9? last time the new year played the black cat, i would say there was maybe 30 people there.

i'd say the same amount of people were there…
did they attract more than 30 people at Johnny Brenda's? Not sure about the scene in Philly…quite tempting to come up there to see Delta Spirit tomorrow… :D

they drew a little over 40, but they were also competing with phillies/dodgers game 1, which is a big deal around here. everyone is into sports here.
delta spirit is almost half sold-out tonight, should be a good one. we'll have plenty of great shows coming up here that you might wanna travel for (close to confirming the feelies, swirlies, among others).

I was considering APTBS tomorrow but that's not happening.
