Well, I am more enthralled than I thought possible now that I have seen them play live. Their voices are so exquisite, they're even prettier than when recorded. They didn't play much from Sinister, mostly TBWTAS and some stuff I didnt know (no, I am not lucky enough to have a copy of tigermilk). the band was thanking people towards the end ofthe show, and some kid shouted 'what about all the kids i drove to philly' and the band froze. i felt awful for them. i dont think the kid realized that it was such an obnoxious thing to say (sorry if someone on the list is that kid). they were really sweet and apologetic about the whole thing. and isobel was like 'i was sick, and i shouldnt sing this next song, but i will cause im naughty' (she's so damn cute with that little voice of hers) and she sang a song in french-pardon my ignorance for not knowing the title of the song- and then it was over. sigh... anyhow, even the opening bands were good. eugene kelly opened, and people were shouting 'who are you?' at him, and finally his bassist was like 'eugene used to be in the vasolines.' anyway, i think everyone felt kind of bad when they realized that they hadn't recognized the guy who wrote so many important songs for the early 'alternative' music scene. eugene totally knew they felt dumb though- he was like 'here's this song i wrote' and he played jesus dont want me for a sunbeam.' some girl next to me was like 'hey, why is he covering nirvana?' it was kinda funny. then guv'ner played, and i actually really liked them as well. they kept talking about it being their last show- iwasnt sure whether it was some inside-indie-rock joke or they were really breaking up. they played a good set though, people got pretty into it. so overall i had a great night.... i hope they come back soon : ) dana +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
