"Harder to Ignore" is the title I believe, JC.

And I think I'm mixing up Idea of Growing Old with Harold. I couldn't remember which one bothered me the most now, perhaps it's the former. I don't know... anyway good show overall. Harder to Ignore has one of the best choruses from these guys in a while.

.....it will be another great show....oh yes, it will be another great show......

Were you the one with the sleevless red shirt on???

Has the mb played any part in the revival of Harold? Is jamie responsible?

Will

If you are talking about the changes on "The Idea of Growing Old," Brian, then I agree with you. I thought the song was perfect the way it was, but it seemed to be lacking in keyboards last night. I don't know if it was a problem with the sound or if it was an actual change, but I hope I either get used to it or go back to the old way.

i really enjoyed the show, drunken belligerence aside. i got a little beer bath up front, but i kindly relocated the guilty party's beverage to a safer place..

yes, that was indeed hilarious.

I thought IBL was amazing. I find their effects pedal rig very interesting to watch while the band is playing.

The Features were great! I'm really glad that I went to this show, no matter the amount of wrestling endured... I think every song played became my new all-time hands down favourite.

exhibit a & harder to ignore are quickly becoming favorites.

Tom Foolery I think I may have been like right next to you or something I was all into the show right in front of Parrish and I kept hearing comments about Parrish's playing and I saw hand gestures out of the corner of my eye. But i was just deep into the show lol.

exhibit a & harder to ignore are quickly becoming favorites. i was also very glad to hear harold & the damage is done...changes are always welcome, though sometimes it takes several listens to get used to them.
glad to see all the friendly folks & meet havesomesoma & talk to the drummer girl who admires rollum's playing.

I was standing right in front of Parrish, cleverly disguised as a patio umbrella...

i didn't really get a chance to meet many people from the message boards....maybe next time.

You were there? You must've really been disguised, because I was looking for you and didn't see you there.

as well as Deathscythe and Damon (although I wish it had been under better circumstances).

Well, you met me, what more could you ask for? Seriously, though, it was nice meeting you. Glad you enjoyed the show! Sorry again about the beer

ok, I know I'm a little late posting this, but I noticed the song Harder to Ignore was played, is that a new song?

Yes, it was a great set list. Yes, the band played great. YES, Rollum was beating the shit out of his drums! But surely someone here will mention how crappy that PA sounded. I had a good time and enjoyed the show, but I will easily say that it was the worst sounding Features show I've ever been to. It did get better when I moved to the far end of the deck, but I had to enjoy many of the songs with my imagination, pretending to hear other things that I knew were going on musically. Nice to see those I saw. Wish I could be there Friday.

I thought the sound was good. . . from where I was at least.

yea,,, there must be "pockets of sound" (for lack of a better word) in outdoor concerts or something b/c the vocals are mainly what i thought sounded so clear..lol. I'm prolly the least educated person about sound on the board, but maybe since there were no walls to bounce all the sounds around, our positions only let us hear certain sounds? Does anyone know if they are on different speakers or if they all are "mixed" into a sound board and shot out together through the same speakers? If they do indeed each have seperate speakers, what would be the logic in this? I mean, wouldn't blending all the sounds together ensure everyone heard the same thing? Hope this made sense...

Ok, first post, second show, and I must say I was blown away.

I won't claim to the largest fan in the world, considering I've only been a listener for a short while now, so I can safely say from my level everything sounded wonderful. They may not be out to be the saviors of rock and roll, but they have certainly put a new light on it for this guy.

I really liked the Joy Division teaser Rollum did after the set.

todd, your avatar looks like the cigarette that we've all taken out and lit backwards. as we previously discussed, it always seems to be the last one that whose filter gets mistakenly lit. damn that cigarette.

I liked the show, but I'll have to agree with the others, the sound in the back sucked. I was in the way way back and everything was muddy except for the vocals. I think the reason was b/c the vocals were on the monitors that were placed about 5 feet in the air, the rest of the instrumentation came straight from amplifiers on the ground I believe. And the masses of people standing in the front were blocking the direct sound. I was getting more a muffled reverb sound in the back. I'm sure the show rocked if u were front and center though. Anyway, Thats about all I have to say,
Ciao

It totally depended on where you stood. I was standing directly in line with one of the PA speakers and everything sounded great.
Did anyone notice the lack of "ba ba ba's" in Blow it Out?

Which one of DS257 friends were you?? I was the girl in the blue dress.

Welcome to the board!

token, i'm right there with you.

and todd was the one with the longer curlier hair, thinner body frame and cigarettes.

Sounds like the guy who was right next to me.

I very well could have been right next to you.

And, Token, I'll change it soon. I was just randomly looking for an avatar last night, came upon this one, and it seemed so fitting for me.

Todd, were you in Roger's area? If so, I might've been generally next to you. I was the tall guy next to the speaker.

Rachel - sorry for my friend and I having to re-aquire our seats.

he wasnt....he was more in the parrish area.....

he wasnt....he was more in the parrish area.....

you were standing pretty close to todd, as i recall. i remember deathscythe or ray davies asking if you were rachel1808 (and apparently 1808 isn't your last name), which you were.

no, damon and i were near in the front with charlotte... todd was in front of you i believe (i think you were standing right in front of the table?) as was a slightly larger, slightly more bearded kenny.

Next time instead of taking pictures of the features I will take pictures of the crowd.

note:

rachel 1808 was behind us for a while. as i recall, ray davies turned around and said "are you...", to which she answered "uh huh". this also confirms your previous theory that she was the young girl sitting behind us on the table outside pre-show. no need for confusion.

Man, I really wish The Features and Imaginary Baseball League would play together again.  Hmmm...

The lack of love for IBL is surprising. I'm very excited about this show nonetheless.

I'm very excited about seeing the Features,

Year of the Rabbit

@ the Exit/In, Wednesday, August 13

By the way, Year of the Rabbit will be the headliner (I believe). All I know is a member or two was/were (a) former member(s) of Failure.

i've found that the word beloved gets thrown around quite a bit around this place.

I'd like to know who doesn't have love for BrianW. Then I'd like to kick his/her ass. (Mind you, this is only because he can't currently do so himself, what with the broken leg and all.)

Well, I wouldn't call it love so much as an intense liking.

And I can sleep at home in bed instead of in a chair during IBL.

Man, that's a little rude. They aren't that bad. As a matter of taste, they aren't bad at all.

yayy a show. i cant belive they arent headlining.

I can, since Year of the Rabbit is on a national tour, have a fairly good sized national following, and are signed to a major label.

Man, that's a little rude. They aren't that bad. As a matter of taste, they aren't bad at all.

Sorry, I was being a little naughty. I haven't napped during an opener in well over a year now. And true, they're not that bad...just not my thing.

i think the wrong person is apologizing here.

i'm sorry.

I have a question about the show on the 13th. on the Exit/In site it says that Year of the Rabbit will be playing with Lucky Guns and IBL. but on the IBL web site it say that IBL will be playing with Year of the Rabbit and The Features. and on the features web site it say currently no dates, are the features really playing or is it just a typo?

How much is this nice PR gonna cost me, Carl?

I don't think Exit/In chose somebody over the Features. I get the idea the Features decided not to play this show. The Lucky Guns are playing and it's a big break for them.

this cuts me deep.

Guess I will have to take the really cool and sassy outfit I was going to wear to this show and wear it somewhere TOTALLY SUPER COOL.

Guess I'll have to give my little Nihilists a day's worth of busy work anyway on Thursday...

im glad someone else picks out (in thier head) what they are going to wear at least a week before a show.

I just got the bootleg DVD of the Red Rose show. This was the last Features show I saw before moving back to Richmond, VA. Great job whoever taped it.. It was pretty awesome getting to see this again.
