Mank, what can I tell you. By the time Echo hit the stage, I was frickin' looped.
9:30 Club was definitely a better Furs show. Still, I was surprised at how much I liked them when they shared the bill with Echo.

I wish Echo would come back to the 9:30 Club. I saw part of their show there a couple of years ago i think it was and it wasnt that impressive. I like them so i just think they had a bad night. It didnt help them thought that The Tom Tom Club opened for them and i'm sorry but they just kicked @ss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to leave halfway thru the Echo set cause my friend had to leave. I'd like to see the whole thing if they come back.

Guiny, not this year. Looks like their only U.S. date is that insanely wonderful KROQ invasion thing with all the 80s bands (and Fountains of Wayne, for some unknown reason).
And before any shit about the 80s band, that lineup happens to have a number of the *good* british invasion 80s bands.

Can't believe you haven't seen this Mank. And fyi, it's Sept 20, and it's the L.A. KROQ, not N.Y.

This brings up a question……who will be the bands at a reunion tour in 20 years time??? NOBODY, because just about every band that comes out these days are 15minute jobbies….one exception, Metallica. Not a fan, but I do think they will be the "classic rock" of the future, the rest of them won't even make the 50cent section in the used cd place.
So people, enjoy nostalga while you can.

Mankie, you really are a misery aren't you? just because you dont like any modern bands, does not mean everyone feels the same.
Hell if berlin and flock of seaguls can tour, two bands that were not all that succesful or well loved even in their heyday, then plenty of current bands will do fine on the revival circuit.

They did a tour together that came by 930 earlier this year.
I can easily imagine seeing coldplay, radiohead and the dandy warhols in 20 years time at the 930. I expect it will be half full.

personally i have very little use for most of the bands currently reuniting and will probably do so in the future… the sex pistols, joe jackson band and blondie being notable exceptions. i would have gone to see joe and debbie had it not been for the expense of seeing them. the damned don't quite qualify seeing as they have been reforming and reuniting their entire career.

$3.50 for a PBR is ridiculous. PBR is the puke of all beers. Makes Budweiseer seem like a delicacy. Surely they have GOOD beer for 4-4.50?
