Since Lusting Kay is off the show tomorrow, can the as yet unnamed, undefined acoustic combo with no songs that I am forming with Keith sit in tonight?

probably not.

unless you entice me somehow.

damn Barry, you are just FULL of bad ideas :)

Be happy I don't manage your band. I would probably have you playing county fairs around Galveston and doing in-stores at record shops in New Orleans this week.

Christina and I are planning on it as of now.

Yetitibbs and I will be there too. Fashionably late of course.

Hey...that's not nice. Accurate, but not nice.

how was the show?

of the hour sound good. come see 'em this saturday (and us too) at the dog All for Mav benefit.

I really enjoyed the show, Jediah were amazing but I think they should have gone on right before The Curtain Society. Of The Hour were interesting...kind of Proggy, a bit too much like Radiohead for my tastes. It was weird, Jediah had a lot of female fans up front dancind etc. Of the Hour seemed to be a "Musicians" band with lots of guys, myself included watching them closely as they played. The Curtain Society played an amazing set with a great mix of songs.

I was really annoyed at the lack of respect they got from the other bands and was annoyed that this amazing band played to such a sparce crowd. Perhaps having the "headlining" band start at 12:30 is not such a great idea. Personally I would have put Trebek first, then Jediah, The Curtain Society, Of The Hour. I think it would have worked better. I would also go back to the old days of Ralphs when band all loaded out at the end of the night thereby assuring that the prior bands, and at least some of their fans, are there until the end.

i couldn't agree more.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that...

Look, if you need to leave early...I get that. There are times we all need to leave before the end of the last band...even when it is an astounding band like TCS.

But there is a time for that...during take off and set up. We have had to do it in the past, and rather than moving your shit off stage and fucking around for a while, you move the shit right off and down to your car while you are getting off the stage and the other band is setting up.

I like the guys in Of The Hour a lot, we have played with them a few times...they are really good guys, and I enjoy their music. I have to say though, that is one of my biggest peaves in music when a band does that.

I may have to shoot them an email or something...I would hate for them to inadvertently get a reputation among other bands for doing stuff like that.
