stellastarr*, monsters are waiting, soft complex roll ca

callat703 revealed

FYI - Monsters Are Waiting just cancelled, so we'll be hitting the stage around 9:30, and then stellastarr* at 10:30.Gee, I hope it wasn't something I said…

does anyone know the likelihood of a show getting cancelled because of the snow? I really want to go to this one!

The weather is hindering my final decision…but hold crap that set list is awesome. I might just brave it regardless.

If you need another reason, you should go because the band paid for the tour themselves after parting ways with RCA. I think you could sense the relief in their performance. Support them.

I'm not the most familar with the second album but after a quick listen, I think they played:

Diver
On My Own
Stay Entertained

And one of the new songs was tentatively called "Coming Down."

Wow, I didn't know the band parted with RCA. And self-financing the tour…I'm definitely impressed.

I don't think the weather should be a big problem.

So it's definite no MAW? I don't see the YYY comparison, cheap or otherwise but everyone can have their own opinion and it's too bad those in DC won't have an opportunity to actually decide for themselves. I'm glad SC is going to play, but highly disappointed MAW is not.

Definitely no MAW. Sorry guys; we were looking forward to playing with them as well.

Just to throw in my two cents on Monsters Are Waiting, even though it doesn't really matter anymore, I really liked what I heard of them when they opened for She Wants Revenge and Pretty Girls Make Graves. I picked up their album, in fact, and it's not bad. I don't really see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs comparison, either, personally. I really don't care for the YYY's, but I like MAW.

Well it's disappointing when a band has to back out of a gig, so that's too bad. But I must say that work is sickly busy right now, so the idea of seeing a great show and being home by midnight is very appealing. I'm looking forward to this. I used to hate the second Stellastarr album, but I've kinda come around on it.

Great show, wintry mix be damned…

indeed, fun night out.

and smakie, you were absolutely right: amanda is now a brunette. that's pretty much all one needs to know. all other details pale. the way she was biting her lower lip while laying down those bass lines… *swoon*. she is hands-down the hottest woman in rock today.

great show last night! stellastarr* was great and my friends and i enjoyed soft complex and want to know when you guys will be playing next around here? only problem last night was that rnr hotel still has to work on thier sound, it was kinda off for a good portion of the show.

That was good! Stellastarr* are much better in a small club than a big stage. I'm sure they'd prefer it the other way around, but that's my take on it.
Soft Complex was good. The singer was interesting – he looks like Rick Nielson and sounds like Morrissey. Hey, if it works, it works. I liked them a lot.

Thanks to all the forumites for coming! We had a blast, stellastarr* was top notch and a class act to work with, and it was great to see so many people braved the weather.

And thanks for the compliments all. To answer the question about gigs, we're playing Rock and Romp in early March. But the next proper show in DC is right here at the 9:30 Club. March 10 as a part of Infamy.

"Dems fighting words!"

- Melissa Auf Der Maur

"Yeh, but what can she do with a pair of drum sticks?"

- Meg White

"I'll try not to take that personally."

- Shirley Manson

"If we could have made the trip I would have changed your mind."

- Annalee Fery

"As soon as I put my crack pipe down, I'm coming after you for saying that."

- Darcy


I could go on, but I agree Amanda is in the top 10. And the show was great the clusterphuck outside the venue aside, and SC won over my sceptical friend.
