Went to see these guys last night - f**king dooope. If they play near you, you should definitely check them out.
All the classic tracks from the first three albums - Forget The Swan, The Lung, Little Fury Things, ended with Freak Scene. We thought we'd be clever and left right after that, thinking they were too cool for an encore, and ended up missing their Just Like Heaven cover. Shame.
Gargoyle
In A Jar
Raisans
Little Fury Things
No Bones
Kracked
Forget The Swan
Repulsion
Budge
Tarpit
The Lung
Sludgefeast
Freak Scene
Encore -
Just Like Heaven
Does It Float
Mountain Man
Just remembered being in the pub afterwards and getting in a heated debated with two guys who were moaning about the 'lack of new material'. Idiots.
Saw Bobby Gillespie (I see that guy everywhere, I swear) and Mani, apparently Kevin Shields was there too.

Yeah, they were really, really loud. First time i've left a gig in ages with my ears ringing.I Drive A Lexus wrote:Good stuff, Yak.
When i saw them back in '93-ish J. Mascis went wild with the solo on "just like heaven" for, like, 10 minutes or so
man, they were ridiculously loud too.
I saw them around 93 ish too - around the time 'Where You Been' dropped.
Tpp - they're playing again tonight.

Eugene Kelly was the support in the UK - the guy from Captain America/The Vaselines/Eugenius. I think Nirvana covered them, not really familiar with their stuff. Would have liked to have seen him actually, but he was on really early - 7.30 or something.Steezel Weezel wrote:I think Magik Markers are supporting them on their U.S. tour
Some nice merch for sale. My buddy Dan bought this really nice, hand silk-screened poster, printed on this really heavy card. He just told me he was on his way home all pissed up and a passing Tube blew it out of his hands onto the tracks - hahaha.
Dope, dope, dope night. I haven't come out of show buzzing like that for years

Its... OK. 'Start Chopping' is good. I haven't listened to it in literally 10 years or so, but don't remember it being that good.I Drive A Lexus wrote:Anybody here heard/got "Where You Been"..?

I have it on tape, I think i'm gonna try and download it... If i find it i'll post it.

Nice
i've never heard it and i can't even remember the singles off it but a friend recently told me it's actually a pretty good album if you ignore that it wasn't going to be another "you're living.." or "bug".
I do remember the couple of albums they dropped after "where you been" though
..terrible.

never heard any dinosaur jr. outside of feel the pain. this where you been cd sounds pretty damn good. thanks for the upload.
i have to say, i'm really diggin a lot of the late 80s/eary 90s band knowledge some of you have been dropping lately. 91/92 was the time i first started discovering music on my own, and nirvana and pearl jam were the beginning for me. so finding out about the likes of the pixies, dinosaur jr. and others is great at a time when i'm not really digging very much rock these days on the radio.
so, yeah. thanks and shit
