Heartland

The before/between sets music (DJ Scary Lady Sarah) wasn't bad, I'm really not up with current goth/industrial though which is mostly what she plays (I think?) - I was really surprised I didn't know anything. All I recognized was Iggy Pop's "Nightclubbing" as we walked in, Skinny Puppy af...

(For what it's worth, though, I did ask some of the band if there was any possibility they'd come back *somewhere* near to make up for that night, though. I'm pretty sure Chris [one of guitarists] said if they ever came anywhere back there again, it probably wouldn't be The National.) Well, Richmon...

They played for less than an hour, and the vocals could barely be heard. The show stopped abruptly with an announcement that "the fire marshal has stopped the show", but I'm not sure that I buy that. I thought that the overall volume could have stood to go up just a tad. The vocal volume ...

Wow, the venue looks amazing. Makes me wish I was going... The National is probably one of the best venues that I have ever been to. My band played there a few months ago. The acoustics are great. The staff is very accomodating. The backstage area is a massive labyrinth of assorted lounges (includi...

euphoria wrote:Yes, thank you - something tells me there are one or more surprises waiting along this tour. He says "a bunch" of songs, and to me that's more than Marian and Logic once.

They are probably saving most of them for the European leg of the tour. :p

TMT weren't horrible or anything like that, I just didn't find them to be anything special. An OK band, even if the songs mostly sounded like second-rate, discarded Sisters songs :lol: Back in '97, a friend of mine believed quite strongly that The Merry Thoughts were actually TSOM operating and rel...

I forgot to add.... the turn out was pretty disappointing, the venue holds about 1200 I think and, when sold out, it's shoulder to shoulder stuff. For the girls this was nowhere near the case. Hopefully, this just means that the majority of DCers are waiting for the weekend, so that they can come t...

Oh, and is the city nice? By which I mean: is it nice for a young female to walk half a mile in around midnight? :lol: All in all, the area should be quite safe, at least any area near Broad Street, as there should be plenty of traffic and lighting on a Friday night. In any case, having company aro...

I'm so there.

What are my chances of finding soundboard quality recordings (from any recent tour 2000-2006) of newer songs, especially "Crash and Burn" and "Summer"?... It's simple. Just find someone who has actually managed to sneak aboard the Sisters' bus and steal some of the show recordin...

RatBastard, I was right behind you--I remember your jacket. I was next to the girls that were yelling for the guitar player to get naked. No, they weren't with me :) Ha. You mean the two girls that pushed their way up to the front near the end of the show? One of them had hair extensions and a lot ...

First off, I think that the sound, at least from where I was standing (I was at the very front, far left, in front of where the lead guitarist was most of the time) was crystal clear... far clearer than when I saw them at the same venue in 2000. I rather like the new version of FALAA (which incorpor...

I'll be there... hopefully up front (or very close), with a leather jacket sporting a Killing Joke logo somewhat similar to the Exorcism single cover
