Saw THE MELVINS w/ Tweakbird in Athens @ The 40Watt Saturday night......great show! Read for round two in Pensacola tonight
i was there. great show. i had never heard tweak bird before, they were awesome. melvins were great. after this show i walked down the street to ga theatre and saw killer mike and gza. the gza show was embarrassingly bad. mostly because of the lame ass crowd. you could tell gza wasn't feeling it at all and he half assed it and took shots at the crowd all night. i reached my tipping point when he started playing songs from 36 chambers and people still didn't know the lyrics and i left early. i guess all the uga kids were there for killer mike, because they were way more into his show.
I saw GY!BE Sunday night and Flying Lotus last night. Both were absolutely great. I can't forsee an end to my ears ringing. Who needs cilia in their cochleas anyways?

GZA definitely reacts to the energy in the room. I've seem him totally check out when the crowd sucks, and I've seen him kill it when the crowd is enthusiastic. I have mixed feelings about that. It must be hard to perform for a crowd that isn't giving you anything back, but he isn't going to get the crossed arm section engaged by needling them and acting like he doesn't want to be there.
I'll still see him at Moog, because a late night festival crowd will probably be into it.

his show at roo was amazing. the crowd was hyped and he killed it. but he also had a band with him. this show he didn't have a band.

Whoever shot that got an awesome video of Dulli roaming the crowd and serenading the ladies. Fantastic showmanship at both Afghan Whigs sets I caught over the weekend.

Divine Fits covered Frank Ocean at the 930 Club last night. It was a solid set, although I doubt they'll ever beat their show at Schubas, in my mind at least.
They have a stage set up with a large white sheet down the back of the stage. They're all wearing black and are somewhat front lit and I guess it was supposed to project large silhouettes onto the board, but it didn't quite work out and looked a little strange.

Horn - you've got to tell me when you're going there. I pay money to 930 like it's a vacation home.
Will do, Tom. I've been on a bit of a hot streak so I'm probably going to cool it for a while after Major Lazer on Thursday (which doesn't seem like a show I'll be seeing you at)

Worst crowd ever at the Afghan Whigs show last night. I almost got into a fight because of how tall I am (And I'm only 6'1"). Bunch of old derps that don't go to shows. caddyshaq and I were the only people in their wearing tour shirts (I was the only person there wearing shorts...haha). Everyone else was dressed to kill or whatever. One fedora per crew. Afghan Whigs were great, but the crowd kind of just ruined the experience. oh well. Gov't Mule tonight.

Gosh. Don't you know everyone over 5'10" has to stand behind the soundboard? The nerve of some people.
To relate, I almost got into a fight at a Dropkick Murphys show because this guy's girlfriend felt she could be in the 3rd row and not be touched by anyone in the crowd.

Some people like to dress up to go out, myself included. The idea that you guys are somehow better cause you had tshirts on is such a weird idea to me. Who cares how people are dressed? Fedoras, on the other hand, are pretty summers breezey, i'll agree to that.

I think he is referring to what other have described as the Coachella Syndrome where the person seeing the show doesn't give a crap about seeing the show. They just want to be seen at the show.

I didn't mean to insinuate that there's anything wrong with dressing up nice for shows, but these people were just plain rude and it was obvious that most of them haven't been to a show in years. Talking/yelling the whole time during the show to each other. Spilling their drinks on people. Smoking the shiztiest swag that I have smelled in over a decade. I was just making the tour shirt comment because we really felt out of place when we walked into Tipitina's.

That reminds me of when a friend and I went to see Converge back in the day. I had on a white t-shirt and khaki shorts. He was dressed similar. Everyone else was in black gothy type stuff. We definitely felt out of place.

I like Major Lazer, but you're right, I won't be at that one. Planning on back to back there in December with Gaslight Anthem and X and then in January with Purity Ring and Jessie Ware.
I was always under the impression that it was obnoxious kids between like 14-19 that constantly talk through shows (ie the Lolla democgraphic) but David Byrne and St. Vincent last month made me realize there are plenty of people in their 30's, 40's and 50's who will just stand their motionless, drinking beer and talking to their friends. I hate people.
This is about a week and a half ago now, but I saw Beach House and they were awesome. I expected to enjoy it, but they definitely exceeded expectations. Victoria even had a surprisingly solid stage presence. I know the music doesn't necessarily fit, but I think they'd be an interesting late night candidate for Roo; I was enthralled by their light show the entire night.
Swans last night @ Terminal West in Atlanta. Everything I've heard about the band's live show was true. So loud (maybe the loudest show I've ever been to), confrontational, uneasy, and glorious. What I didnt expect was how much No Wave is still in their blood and how closely related to Black Metal they get. Bradford Cox from Deerhunter was @the soundboard all night (hopefully taking notes). Please go see this band if they come to your town, if no other reason than to get out of your comfort zone and witness this amount of power. No matter how much you prepare, you're not ready.

Have you read Gira's The Consumer? It'll make you feel very similar to how you're describing the live show.

They were one of my favorite shows I've seen all year. The spotlights/slatted fan combo set the atmosphere perfectly for how simplistic of a set up it is.
