LIARS / THURSTON MOORE (3 Viewers)

[ratmonkey]

That'd be them, they had some serious mop action going on by the left wall.

 

[the departed]

there was lads working there (wearing all black) walking around in the crowd and shoving past me all evening but not really accomplishing anything. they were ok though. didnt see any mopping

i spilled a bit of drink to see would they mop it up.
they didnt.
bizzarree.

 

[Goodbye]

Can they now wait till it's over to pick shit up

It wasn't too bad last night, but at Ani DeFranco a couple of weeks back it got very tiresome.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

nice venue though, kinda cozy. fairly big yet intimate. like the red box except nicer. dont think i'd been in there since fugazi back in '02.

i thought Thurston Moore was fantastic.
true, the acoustic guitar sounded a bit shrill but i thought they worked with it well.
he was in fine form, and yeah, he could easily pass for 19 from a distance!
49?!

Liars were really impressive too, they put on a good show and managed to get everyone worked up but a lot of their songs just don't do much for me.
Definitely preferred Thurston.

re: the moppers in Tripod?
they nudged past me every 5 minutes to mop the same spot for no apparent reason.
i felt like i was living on some alien planet.

 

[ostrichsyndrome]

not excessively no... what I'm thinking of was defintely the acoustic guitars, what with them holding them at angles to amps, etc, etc, etc...

I really can't fault the sound, between that and the Animal Collective gig Tripod is kicking ass in the "Big Wall O' Noise Delivered Cleanly And Powerfully Without Busting Heads" department...

which as well all know is the most important of all departments...

i must go up to this balcony. cos the sound downstairs has been muck for the last 2 gigs i've been at there (co-incidentally animal collective and thurston) both those gigs were far from clear, fair enough its at a perfect level to enjoy. animal collective was very poor too, loads of emphasis on bass and vocals... what about all the in betweens?

give me vicar street any day of the week. where you can not get your head blown off and still hear the music properly.

fair enough the feedback you speak of was coming from the guitars, but there was loads of low end feedback of the Floor Tom and Bass Guitar. i was miserable at this. until the last song. (it still sounded crap until it was just the last 2 songs, and even they sounded bad.)

On the subject of sound I thought the bass souned terrible. I was up the front standing pretty much in front of his cab.

 

[Anthony]

well it was an ampeg.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

i thought the bass sounded fantastic!

this gig has turned us all against each other

ha. me again. i thought it sounded deadly. really nice and not the usual ampeg farty sound. i mustve hit a sweet spot.

 

[Goodbye]

Loved the wall of sound ways me

 

[the departed]

Loved the wall of sound ways me

yeah i really enjoyed his guitar not working. that drone was lush.

 

[Unicron]

ha. me again. i thought it sounded deadly. really nice and not the usual ampeg farty sound. i mustve hit a sweet spot.

It just seemed really thin and weedy.

 

[hugh]

well it was an ampeg.

Good Ampegs sound amazing e.g. Richie's one. It's just that often touring bands use rented ones that have been battered to shit and are in rag order and therefore sound crap.

 

[Goodbye]

Moan moan moan moan

stop bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedin whingin ala yiz

 

[coast to coast]

The bass was practically inaudible from my gaff. Not like U2. I could hear them when they played. They must be better than these Moppers.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

lads, the bass was fine. NEXT!

 

[Pantone247]

what about wearing a t-shirt over a shirt

I thought that was shit

not it wasn't

yes it was

at Beiruit, we were mostly at the back near the deesk and we could whisper over the band. terrible volume. and everything sounded like ti does in the back part of the village venue. so we moved up very very close and it was so so much better.
for slint i made sure i was up the front and it made a world of difference.

 

[hugh]

What did people think of the sound off the hi-hat?
