Any chance this'll be moved to the mainstage?

Yeah the fact that it's on the backstage is bizarre.
I kinda like it there though.

there were maybe 40 people watching them at the rock and roll hotel just 4 months ago, so maybe that has something to do with it.

I think that's just because H St is a pain in the ass to get to.

How was the show? I wound up flaking; I was too burned out from training and new job paperwork. Bummed, but a good night sleep is exactly what I needed.

Clockcleaner's bad-boy attitude simply couldn't scale the sheer wall of insouciance that a DC crowd can generate. As soon as the singer remarked that we were "the most boring crowd" the band had ever played for, I knew we had won the fight.
Deerhunter were pretty good, although I had to split early.

someone needs to add this to their blog. that's some reviewing genius right there.
the pinnacle of indifference: actually enjoying a band but leaving early anyways :p

Though basement shows generally trump all.

Yeah, well they were better at 9:30.
Yeah, but that wasn't nearly as good as The Black Cat show.
Did you see their Backstage show?
No - But I saw them at Iota once….and left early.
Winner! :)

The Germs cover that ended up turning into a noisy sludgy mess of an encore was fun.
I enjoyed both bands.

deerhunter was insanely boring…5% of the time it was interesting..the rest of it seemed like a rip off of a good bit of black dices beaches and canyons
not really quite sure what this hype is all about
clockcleaner killed it, not only saying that cause i put out their records, but they sounded great. As far as the crowds go, I cant blame them for what they said, then again the crowd they played for wasnt the kind of crowd for them. Im pretty much willing to be 60% of them never heard a germs song in their life.

i fuckin' missed clockcleaner, due to late-running band practice, and the black cat's anal retention in starting shows exactly at 9:30 even with two bands.
deerhunter were good but as epstein said, ripping off black dice circa 2002, and certain bits of MBV. not bad, but i'm also not sure of all the hype. supposedly, they were a bit more unpredictable a couple of years ago.
