Yes and they were fucking wonderful! I can't seem to get enough of this band at the moment.

I gave Keiji Haino a hug in the toilets of The Spitz. I think that I did it mainly to get him off from standing in front of the cubicle so that I could get in.

I put on this Jefferson Airplane tape and we actually kind of enjoyed that more than Live Skull when we went back in. It was the perfect juxtaposition of psychedelic extremes though!


Awww, I suppose that means I'm going to have to hate you now. Still, I remember seeing Loop and getting pissed off because they were too loud for me to chat to my friend. So, it's all good in the hood, as they say.

atari 2600 05.30.2008 06:11 PM

I think I've seen Loop, Luna, Lush, who the fuck knows...too hard to be sure...some of those daze were a blur. And I might have only been there for half a show or so...sometimes I would go in clubs and leave my ID at the door (on the pretense that I was looking for someone; and sometimes I really was) and just stay for a few songs...sometimes they were free passes anyway.

Like the L7 show, I left pretty early. Hell, I just remembered I didn't list Ween; I've seen them thrice. Damn you thread, I got to thinking last night whether I've seen ha The Hooters or not and just can't be sure.

Ha ha. A well known but little documented fact is that when it comes to seeing Ween, people have either never seen them at all or they've seen them three times. Never twice, or four times. Always three. They must've had a really steady three years, and then nothing. Exactly the same with Bongwater, and the JSBX.

Edit:

And a further Ha ha. In conversation I'll sometimes say that I once saw Stereolab, but the more i think about it, the more I don't actually think that I ever did. I don't actually like them at all them so it's not like i'm wishing i had, and it's not even as though any of my friends like them for me to be trying to impress them. It's just weird.

Toilet & Bowels 05.30.2008 07:02 PM

i've only seen jsbx once

atari 2600 05.30.2008 07:16 PM

hope it was an early date jsbx

the 2nd ween was the best which found me drunkenly dancing on a table top at the 40 watt for the encores

Toilet & Bowels 05.30.2008 07:24 PM

it was about 6 years ago, they played a set and then played as solomon burke's backing band. it was ok. solomon burke killed it, but the whole scenarios didn't really seem to fit too well.

demonrail666 05.30.2008 07:29 PM

I gave up on Royal Trux after the third time, i think. It was about the time they decided that Warrant would make for a cool influence.

New Blockaders is just which ever people Richard Rupenus wants to play for him that day, he gives them instructions & then stands in the crowd watching

shellac (boner)
sebadoh (Lou Barlow was rude to me)
man or astroman (the little bass player plugged a wire on my cheek - true)
shipping news (love the records - didn't like the lazy attitude live)
june of 44 (great)
liars (crazy)
oxxxes (awesomeness - one of the gtr players ended up naked in the middle of the venue playing with one of their Boxes - miming the beginning of humanity - like the first men with rotten chicken bones whateva - crazy)

I very nearly got kicked out of a gig for stagediving. After a tussle and an argument, we all agreed that 'once more and you're out'. I wouldn't have been annoyed, but it was Napalm Death (who I've seen 4 times now).

maaaaaaan!!! i haven't listened to the lunachicks in ten years, probably.

---

never crowdsurfaced, never stagedove; slamdanced plenty of times but that's not what i normally do at shows. i slammed with xanopticon (one of the most hilarious pits ever!), the time before was with melt-banana and before that was xbxrx i think, a year before.

Wouldn't the song just stop as you were mid-air if it was Napalm Death?
