Come on Burrito, that's like asking if Okkervil River played Westfall. Of course they did, any they probably closed with it.
As one of the three (or four) Fang Island fans on the board, I missed them in Portland too. Long story, but the main reason was because they played at the absolute worst venue in town. I'm pretty sure I'm never going back to the Hawthorne Theatre again. |

Why don't they just fix the god damn sound there? It seems easy enough. All they really need to do is turn the bass down.
EVERY single show I go to there, the bass overpowers everything. |

| Also it is approximately four billion degrees in there. |

Saw two different shows since last online.
Sigur Ros:
Wow. This was an intense experience for multiple reasons. Barely made it down to Seattle in time to get the early entry line perks. Got some rad seats but was totally wiped from work. Smoked a bowl in line which I was questioning due to my sleepiness. We brought in two flasks of Jameson and that balanced it out. They were borderline religious. Fucking epic breakdowns. Loved that show.
Rabbits, Monagamy Party, Gaytheist:
This show was a shit show. Club 21 in Portland pours some stiff ass drinks. The sound was not great but the crowd was fantastic. I was in front for Gaytheist and Monogamy Party and shit got rowdy. Fun times. Rabbits' crowd was huge and I stepped outside so I was further back for them. We were so drunk that it didn't matter though. Great time.
good shows all around |

| Black Mountain was pretty unspectacular last night. Maybe I had high expectations because of the last time I saw them but they did not seem like they wanted to be there at all. The crowd was boring and I was the only one dancing. I think they played a lot of new songs because no one seemed to know any of them. They only played for an hour and fifteen minutes and ended at 12:30. I have been to shows on weekdays that go untill 2 at that venue. I got the vibe that they just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. They did sound incredible though, but the energy just wasn't there for me or anyone else in the room. |

| They also didn't play Rollercoaster OR The Hair Song. Boo. |

Bummer, man. That's too bad.
Hard to live up to their Sasquatch performance under any circumstances, but still. |

It's Edmonton. |

| I wasn't saying that I blamed them for feeling that way. I was hoping they would help me forget I was there too. |

| I went to my first casino show last Saturday. ZZ Top at Northern Quest by Spokane. I saw these guys once before at the Adams Center in Missoula about a decade ago. They had the biggest PA I ever saw in that place. Huge Marshall stacks. At this show they had a more modern scaled down sound system that sounded very good, and was still very loud. These guys still rock the fuck out. Good old blues rock. Now the negative. The show lasted about 1 hour and 15 minutes. No opener. It went from 7:00 to 8:15. Pretty shitty since we traveled for the show, and spent a lot of money for a room. My girl wants to see Alice Cooper there in November. I hope next time the show doesn't turn out the same way. |

| The only way the boys in ZZ Top can stay on their feet is to cleverly hide an elaborate wire/mesh chin stand in their beards. Those things have GOT to get uncomfortable; you probably would want to get off the stage after 75 minutes, too. |

Refused was probably the best punk show I've been to. New Noise and Rather Be Dead were the highlights for sure. The whole Roseland shouting "WOO!" during New Noise was just magical.
Also, two people were booing Sleigh Bells for the first 4-5 songs. I was getting pretty pissed, so I just went up to the guy and yelled "SHUT THE FUCK UP!". He stopped after that.

| I'm sure SOMEONE did that, but if I know Geno it wasn't actually him. |

Haha I actually did. They were right up front, flipping Alexis off, booing every time she talked. I'm surprised I was the first one to say it. |
