Grovel

Well I'm finally getting to see them after hearing about them for so long. Nice of them to come to Lawrence and play a show. I'm surprised they haven't done a Replay show, that is the place for them and the people there would really dig them...anyways....they started playing their set and it hit me that Keanon is really tall and goofy, second of all, the bass was too quiet. Sure hope these guys had a good monitor mix, as ours really really sucked. They played for a while and it sounded mighty fine, they reminded me a lot of Old Dinosaur Jr., one of my favorites, they also had some Uncrushed in there, some swans maybe, maybe some tortoise? I don't know, very noisy, slow droning intro's, and slow droning outro's man, I really can't say enough of how much I dug these guys. We'll actually be playing another show with them at the Outhouse next Friday the 25th of July. Look for that show to kick some major ass as well.

Subtle Rebellion

They brought the crowd in, that's for sure...dancing girls on stage, They sounded like Nirvana and they played too long.

Nasa's Little Secret

Another smashing success for these guys, Scott was bouncing around, and they totally reminded me of someone, but I just couldn't figure it. With their little stomp box thingees, I saw them talking to Terry and Shawn of the Black Water, their rack units do the same things times a million. Anyway, I'm familiar with some of their tunes now, which makes listening to someone a bit better, and I must say, their live sound is so damned good. They've got the whole thing going on, asside from Thomas stealing all of Shallows bass lines......ha, that's a joke. The great thing about these guys is that they've got the ambient noise thing going on and this harder edge which in some ways, matt is one of my favorite drummers just because the guys like "Mr. Steady" which we could all use every now and then in our drummers. The new CD sounds pretty good, Kinda muddy? I really don't know, but I love these tunes and I'm looking forward to another Grovel, Nasa's, tbw show in the future.

the black water

Bad mix on stage and Terry's guitar was pumpin and feeding back through the monitors, this totally destroyed what was going on in the first 4 songs and we never recovered. Not a bad setlist though: driver, hush, sun called her, their numbers came up, he the wolf, opus tongue, gutterworm and we cut crescendo cause Subtle Rebellion played too long. All of those songs will be available on our first CD release on BlowPop records in August. Train-man-drunk and it should be available everywhere so come see us and buy it, cause it's gonna be good good good. :)

Molotov Grasshopper

I haven't seen these guys since the last show we did with them and the Switch at the Replay over a year ago. That was a good time, they are so tight and I'm sorry about the crowd taking off, that really sucked...but they put on one fucking incredible show. Anyone who missed them (most of the fucking crowd) you should be kicking yourself, that's for damned sure!

Thanks to all who could come and play this show, I'm sure we'll be seeing each other around and soon and all that crap, next time we need to get a bigger showing from KC, and I know I go to KC to see bands all the time, so the drive to Lawrence should be no problem for people, they just need to know what's going on and all that thanks to Slum Lord for the fliers and handbills and thanks to Jackie for the show, and thanks to that cute girl and her boyfriend that I gave a $2 off flyer to and they came, outta 700 fliers at the warped tour, 6 actually showed up at the show.......woo hoo, are there a lot of musically dead people in this town...
