8/5/2011 3:51:39 PM

^^ i was going to go, but i got sidetracked

all reports were negative

8/5/2011 3:55:35 PM

I think I shall see Kurt Vile on Tuesday at the Cradle. Anyone else going?

8/5/2011 4:07:15 PM

I only caught the first song which is the only one on their facebook that stood out, and that was pretty sick, but i kept running into people i knew and missed the second half basically all of their set

i will say that the amount of people in there when the started was about 2x when they were finishing up

8/16/2011 9:33:29 PM

just in case anyone missed it, Birds of Avalon, Brad Cook, Love Language & The Rosebuds are playing at King's tonight for a benefit show/Ashley Christensen's birthday. $25

8/18/2011 3:03:55 PM

What is the benefit? Doesn't she get enough money from people downtown?

8/18/2011 3:48:42 PM

Frankie Lemmon Foundation?

[Edited on August 18, 2011 at 4:19 PM. Reason : pretty sure]

8/18/2011 4:09:08 PM

seeing love language tonight in dc - been looking forward to that one

8/19/2011 5:45:51 PM

Their new jams are super heavy (for them). Also, heads up for the Supremes cover.

8/19/2011 8:45:56 PM

what Supremes cover have they been doing?

if it's "stoned love" or "i hear a symphony", i'm going to be even more pissed i didn't make it.

8/20/2011 1:33:03 PM

I'm gonna guess You Just Keep Me Hangin On.

Also, can anybody confirm that was at the LL/Archers of Loaf show back in January; I feel like LL played 1 or 2 new songs then. Anybody know?

8/20/2011 1:37:46 PM

Nothing new back then that I remember, but I was in the back drinking with Matt Gentling for some of it.

The Supremes cover was "My World is Empty Without You," and they did it with a very Blondie-ish feel, to the point where I initially thought it was "Atomic." Very cool.

8/20/2011 6:38:22 PM

Whoa...all the interior walls at Cats Cradle are gone

8/20/2011 9:17:55 PM

so it's now just one big open room?

8/20/2011 9:55:21 PM

There's a curtain where the wall between the bar and stage areas used to be, but other than that, yeah.

They took out all the tiles, so the ceiling is higher too.

Result is that now you can hear shitty openers like Hammer No More the Fingers loud and clear at the bar.

8/20/2011 10:01:56 PM

Is the walkover tunnel that links the green room and the stage still there?

8/21/2011 12:10:05 AM

I think so? Didn't really notice. Platform at stage left is still there but pretty spare looking.

Most of the back of the stage has been torn out and replaced with a curtain as well.

[Edited on August 21, 2011 at 1:19 AM. Reason : also Ivan has a fucking doppelganger, complete with cabbie hat]

8/21/2011 1:13:40 AM

There was a little loadout hallway back there that no one ever used except to get to stage left if the whole thing was packed with gear, so that makes sense.

nice.

"reflections" would be another one good for them. (or any band with a similar set up, especially with all the psych influence already present in the original verison).

Judging from their schedule, it appears there are renovations to come for the Cradle...

8/22/2011 12:58:16 PM

Huh? They're booked solid two months out.

8/22/2011 1:01:24 PM

^^^ I'm trying to get my buddy to come to the Orange Peel show for his graduation and party in Asheville that night. Even if he doesn't want to come I know I'll be there. The first and last time I saw New Earth Mud was at the Orange Peel.

8/22/2011 1:01:55 PM

The next 10 days?

8/22/2011 1:13:51 PM

Of course I didn't look at where the schedule started.

D'oh.

8/22/2011 1:24:32 PM

8/24/2011 2:36:13 PM

I've never heard any of the Dear Hunter and I just remember them being terrible.

8/24/2011 3:18:57 PM

Going to see Cory Smith at Lincoln Theater tomorrow. My buddy knows grew up with him or something. Anybody know anything about him?

8/24/2011 3:51:02 PM

expect southern fratty dudes & sorority girls. (admittedly I've never heard his music. some type of country artist I think)

8/24/2011 4:04:22 PM

I'm probably the only one excited about Saves the Day coming to Cat's Cradle on November 11th...

i would have been very excited about this 10 years ago, but transit should be fun to see at least

8/24/2011 6:06:56 PM

saves the day and bayside. this makes it what - the 3rd or 4th time that bayside has played in the area in the past year?

I still dig Saves the Day, but yeah Transit is my shit. Nice to see someone else on here is a fan. I've seen them a few times, super nice dudes.

I think it'll make the 3rd. It'll also be the third time i've seen them this year. Didn't go to the other two shows to see them, but they are definitely a solid band and I enjoy seeing them.

Wavves/Fucked Up - Local 506 9/27.

8/26/2011 1:12:33 PM

I don't know anything about Bayside, but I do know a girl who is a huge fan of them, and that makes me think I'd hate them.

8/26/2011 2:10:25 PM

Apparently Gillian Welch is playing Saxapahaw River Ballroom tomorrow night on short notice; she was due to play Wilmington, but because of the hurricane, she's coming further east to Saxapahaw to play. I'm off tomorrow night, so I may go.
