shows

in the last few weeks i've seen a few shows and i just haven't gotten around to reviewing yet.

THE STROKES

the strokes played the bank of america pavilion on september 12th.

wolfmother opened. i *really* enjoyed them live. i love their album and their live set is solid. they are not a band i can listen to everyday, but their energy and commitment is infectious. the joker & the thief is a great song. find it and listen.
thanks lads.


the strokes.
i have to say that if this was the only time i'd seen the strokes live i would have been slightly disappointed. poor julian seemed to be quite ill...his voice kept going out on him. he tried to make up for it with fun banter with the crowd, but the other boys weren't having it. however, he still sang the whole set and got through it with minimal fuck ups.



not quite as good as the show i saw a few months ago...i would say it is time of the boys to have some serious r&r...they seem a bit burnt out. but overall an enjoyable evening.

on a side note, the venue served coffee....this is the best idea EVER.

a chilly september evening of rock and roll accompanied by hot coffee. genius.

a bad review of the show, but pictures.
