I know, I know, I've been lax in reporting on the
shows for anyone out there who cares. If you need photos or news ASAP,
check in with Karl at the band's website.
To be honest, I had written a pretty detailed series
of comments about them and was trying to spellcheck them outside of my
blogging software and accidently deleted all my comments... THE NEXT
VERSION REALLY NEEDS A SPELLCHECKER ,GUYS!!!
Vancouver was very cool, the first show of the tour
went really well and the kids in the crowd were great. they gave the
band so much and the band gave them 3 years of pent up playing. The
show seemed to fly by, short by some standards, but the delivered 19
songs (one was cut mid-show) but it packed a punch. The new stuff seems
to work but the most of the kids don't know it yet... when they do,
it's gonna be great. From posts on the message boards, some of them get
it already; the rest just have to listen to the songs a hundred times
on their ipods...
The Commodore is an upstairs club with a small
service elevator, so the in and out were VERY slow. The alley we loaded
the truck in seems to be the center of Vancouver's drug damaged
behavior, everything from guys crawling around in the dark looking for
dropped crack to meth-heads running their bicycles into telephone poles
to no visable affect. Very sad and not very entertaining.
someone's on their way up, part two in a little while...
