probably. its the same night as editors. can't decide which to attend as i'm sure both will hit the stage at the same time. wish editors was an early show so i could just pop over to the black cat after.

I have tickets for both Editors and Hoodoo Gurus. I keep hoping for some strange occurance that will allow me to see both, but I don't think that's gonna happen.
If I have to choose, I'm all over the Gurus.

if anyone has time tonight (after the show) could you post the setlist, or anything you remember them playing. I havent heard their stuff in awhile, and it might pay if i recognized some of their stuff. how sad of me.

SPOILER:
These are some of the tunes that I have heard have been popping are: "Come Anytime", "I Want You Back", "Leilani", "Death-Defying", "Out That Door", "Poison Pen", and "Bittersweet". There are too many good tunes for them to play them all, but I really would love to hear something like "Castles In the Air", which could melt butter as far as I'm concerned. Been totally jazzed for this show for weeks.

The BC site says doors at 8:00. Based on that does any one have any idea for set times?

That usually means 8:30/9:30/10:30. No guarantees though.

So Bearman….Was that you in the front wearing the Joy Division shirt and screaming for Death Ship?
Show was good. Thought the bass player was a bit sloppy at times. Would have liked more off the first 2 albums, but overall very satisfied.

A-
The crowd was thin and the sound sucked, but neither of those are the band's fault.
Other than Magna Cum Louder, I haven't listened to much Hoodoo Gurus in the last 10+ years. I had forgotten that they had a whole bunch of great songs. I thought they played really well considering the club was 1/3 full, at best. Probably not the best way to start off your stateside reunion tour, but they were endearing and I wish them well. I thoroughly enjoyed their set.
I was at class and missed all but the last three songs from the Fake Accents. The first two I heard confirmed the "Pavement" comparisons. The last song was fantastic.

Yep Chaz, guilty as charged :) Sadly they didn't comply, but I had a great time. I would agree with ggw, I give the show an A-. I would have loved to hear a few more songs, but in the grand scheme of things it was a very solid show and I'm so glad that I finally got to see them after liking them for a good 20 years.
I figure I'll be the first to post a setlist, since there were a few of us that got one ;)
I Want You Back
Chop
Waking Up Tired
The Real Deal
Come Anytime
In The Wild (awesome)
Bittersweet
Form a Circle
