p0tat0esSo I walk the three blocks from my apartment over to Graceland, only to find that C Average & last of the Juanitas have cancelled. Fucking lame...I have yet to see C Average live. Maybe some of those wacky indie rock nazis hijacked their van on the way up from Olympia...oh wait, that couldn't have happened - all the indie rock nazis were at the show tonight! There's no way they would have had any time for such hijacking exploits. I realized that I left my uniform at home...no denim jackets/hightwater jeans, no thick glasses, no bad Romulan haircut...god, I was a fish out of water. But whatevz. Got to hang out with Andy (from Saturday nite) and Jesse (another one of Anna's old peeps from way back in Hellingbam). We had a rockin' good time being intoxicated and talking shiz.
Here's the show: eXbesTfrieNds (or however the fuck they capitalize their name) became the openers in lieu of the bands that didn't show. I wanted reallllly bad not to like them, mainly because the Stranger is all up on their collective nutsack, but dammit, they were realllly good. They trick you into thinking that they're a math-rock band at first, but then they go totally emo for most of their set. Then it's back to the long division stuff for the last 2 songs. The singer has this serious Kurt Cobain thing going on...scruffy beard, scruffy dirty blonde hair, scruff voice. Looks just like the man himself, pre-catastrophic-shotgun-wound-like.
Next: Dead Horse: *yawn*...at their worst, they sounded like a...oh hell, I don't know...a Monster Magnet ripoff. At their best, they managed to string together a lot of AC/DC riffs together and make songs out of them. As the one and only Bill the Cat would say, "Thibbbbittt..." Not horrible, just not great or all that entertaining.
Last: the FUCKING CHAMPS: They RAWKED as hard as ever. They at least showed some passion about what they were doing, all the while having to endure taunts and tirades from the drummer from eXbesTfrieNds (who, by the by, is a maniac behind the drum kit). Nothing like having 24 guitar strings (between 3 guitars) going at once. Let's hear it for Baroque-core. They played a modified Bach piece, for God's sake...
All in all, a good show.
Now some thoughts:
An old rallying cry was "Nazi Punks Fuck Off". Now it should be "Indie Rawk Nazi Wanna-Be-Punks Leave Yr Attitude At The Fucking Door".
Scenesterism is sooooo 5 minutes ago.
OK. I'm way too tired to write anymore. i should have been in bed an hour & a half ago. Oooops. Damn rock 'n' roll shows...
