oh shit.

i always pictured it being at the opposite corner (like tucked behind that little balcony where the opening bands usually stand to watch the main act).

Kosmo, we can only really wave at you, right? It's up awfully high….we can't actually talk to you, can we?

talking is fine, swing by and check out the view :)

can we throw rocks at people? puh-leeez?

(actually, i won't be at tonight's show, but i'd love the opportunity some other time)

Check out the very cool video for "Black Dollar Bills" here.

might make an appearance since i received the ontap invite!

i'll be lurking around this evening as well.

10pm doors

Great show. Wish Kurosawa had been there, but had a great time with jag, got to see redsock and ran in to snailhook at the end.

- Best t-shirt: our fantabulous DJ, Kosmo. Way to go, K. "V-neck OTE"
- I only caught one song of Inouk, so can't really comment.
- HOTS was really good, even with the problem with one of the three guitars during "Black Dollar Bills" – literally, the roadies had his equipment opened up on stage trying to do electrical work on it. And, have you watched this awesome video? Link in a post above….
- Most sparsely attended show I've ever been to at the club.
- Talk about squiffy hair, four of the six had teased, very "done" squiffy dos. But the band were energetic, fun, and really nice guys who all came out after the show.
- Which made me feel guilty that I got in for free – THANKS, Chimbly. :) I did my best to make it up at the bar. And I will BUY the album.
- When HOTS come back, y'all need to go.

you mean this t-shirt :D

Stick to DMB or some other Frat house hype band than that doesn't require much work in the cerebral cortex.

They are very good and put on a good show, short of the one technical glitch.

Mankie would have loved the rocking violin player. He and Sam (keyboards/guitar/singer) were obviously the core of the band and very in-sync with each other.

Inouk were pretty much as I had expected. Some good songs and some mediocre ones. Good opener for HOTS but not strong enough to bring me out on their own strength.

Kosmo, thanks for the great songs! HOTS liked your selection too. Set list, please?

will do i've spent all afternoon watching Veronica Guerin yet another film about Ireland with a U2 song in it… depressing and uplifting at the same time this one.

I was less than impressed with Inouk. They started off really bad, IMHO, but got better towards the end of the set. Maybe I just couldn't get past the 80s hair.

HOTS was REALLY good! I was pissed there wasn't any merch. I would like to have gotten their CD last night. I definitely see the Mogwai comparisons, but much better and accessible than Mogwai. Definitely recommend people see these guys the next time they come through.

That was Kosmo in the VOTE shirt? I saw you on the floor during one of the sets. Then again, I think there were so few people that I could describe just about everyone at the show! I don't think I've ever seen such a sparse crowd at the club.

HOTS wasn't bad. I would definetly compare them with Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky. Though some of their songs are very very different than those two bands. Missed Inouk, though I did kinda want to see them. It was by far the smallest crowd I've ever seen at hte Club, and the band even commneted on how big the venue was. Obviously they have been playing much smaller places i nthe states, as well they should have. Clovette liked them, whicc is a pretty good stamp of apporval. I'd see them again, especially after i was more familiar with their album.

I think we may have passed each other on way to and from the backbar at one point, would have stopped but had other things on my mind at the time.
