Sinister: godspeed the static

[Andrew CHurchman]

hello everyone,
      now that i have time i thought i'd add onto the
recently posts about godspeed you black emperor!  well
i saw them on fri. at Maxwells and it was just as i
hoped.  incredible.  Will Oldham opend up with Marquis
de Tren who were in very fine form.  Is it just me or
is Jim White one of the greatest drummers ever?  I
actually saw him at this same venue about three years
ago backing up Chan Marshall aka Catpower... but
anyway.
    sine Maxwells only holds maximum 200 people, and
the stage it really low GYBE! asked everyone to sit
down on the floor during their set so everyone could
see.  It so wonderful to see this mass of people
curled up and nodding watching this amazing show.  So
it was almost totally dark with only the slides
projecting over the band.  Efrim and David were
rocking and stomping in their chairs, and everyone was
just in awe.  I had to hold back the tears during the
cresendo or "lift your skinny fist" it was just so
powerful, so fucking triumphant.
    everyone should go out of their way to see this
band.  they are more than worth your time, and
attention.  
    as for B+S content: the drummer of Essex Green was
at the show.  Jeff from the Essex Green is also in
Ladybug Transistor, and the Ladybug Transistor played
the Bowlie Weekender.

karma comming your way.
