Quick note for Nicknels, Biscuits correspondent:
I went to the SF Disco Biscuits show last night, hadn\'t seen them since 2007 in Berkeley.
Due to my rigorous exercise schedule (6-mile run to gym > 30 minutes of weights > 3-mile run home > dinner), I missed the opener and got to the show a half hour or so into the first set.
The Fillmore was jampacked to the point where we were stuffed in a back corner and had some difficulty enjoying the show. First set was a bit more repetetive BiscUNTZ and there were a lot of annoying kids in our vicinity, though my opinion was influenced by the unfavorable location we were in.
Setbreak allowed us to move up front and take in the show from a much-improved position near the stage. Saw Allen Aucoin wandering around in the crowd - all the spunnions were so clueless and had no idea he was among us.
Second set was good and we definitely had much higher level of satisfaction being near the stage. Lights were fine, nothing extraordinary.
Last time they headlined SF, the venue played was half the size of the Fillmore. Pretty sure they could graduate to a venue twice the size of The Fillmore (Warfield) with a big name co-billing.

Anyone going to House of Blues in Boston this weekend?
I was going to meet up with the $MK in Waltham this weekend but it looks as if I have something else coming up that is keeping me at home.

For real tho I gotta at least hang up some Breakfast fliers around Calvin before the show..
Even if you don\'t like bisco you should pass out some fliers. hit up the lot and tell all the kidzzzzzz that there is going to be a ton of cheap clean molli at the upcoming breakfast shows. Knowing northampton there is a good chance this is true anyways
Re: 1st thing you said... its supposed to be -10 degrees that night before wind chill. I doubt I\'ll be hanging around outside.
Re: 2nd thing you said... already confirmed ;)
NickNels just bustin homes. I\'ve actually heard a lot of DB in my days tho, so while I consider my opinion to be relatively educated, please don\'t take it personally.. :lol: I knew if I stepped foot in this thread I wouldnt be stackin up the popularity points.
The truth is I\'m trying to avoid work and the UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ is already startin to resonate deep down in my soul !

Sorry did I hate on your fav band? Maybe by Saturday I will be raving about their creative, interesting, non-repetitive, skilled musicianship... ;)
It\'s certainly not everybody\'s taste. What you have to realize though, is that it will be repetitive to a degree by nature. They play TRANCEFUSION. Trance = Repititive, but I look at it more like a slow build and layering vs. being repetitive. As far as skilled musicianship...i don\'t know how you can create your own genre of music and not be creative or have skilled musicians. So again, if it\'s not your tastes that\'s fine, but don\'t make generalizations on their music when you don\'t invest the time and effort to explore it. Plus, seeing a show is a much different experience than just listening on CD.
I hope to see you there!

I enjoyed them in Providence...if anyone has an extra I\'ll jump on it but otherwise I\'ll be drinking elsewhere.

The NYE run shows were very good on the whole, with the actual NYE show being a little bit of a let down.
IF you go to the Calvin, expect to hear a decent amount of new songs so take it with a grain of salt. If you go in with low expectations I doubt the Biscuits will disappoint.

Very good chance of that. But I would like to give DB another chance to win me over. It sorta depends on the flow of things come Friday night.. like I told some friends they could party at my place pre/post show and its only a 5 minute walk so I could very well end up there. Or not.

Then again if I do end up going "for all the wrong reasons" I have a feeling I\'ll blend in just fine :disco:

Pretty sure I\'m going to Calvin this Friday.
If it doesn\'t completely suck I might walk down the block again Saturday. I sort of expect it to completely suck though. And I don\'t want to waste many brain cells on Bisco when there\'s 3 Breakfast shows a couple weeks later that I def will be at.
I would like to see whats "going around town" though ;)
sounds like you should just stay home

ulee said shes going saturday

So who else is IN for Northampton?
-
I know Barber was playing with a broken leg, but I never expected Umphreys McGee to play the better show.
Hmm. I would probably expect that.
I hadn\'t. I\'ve been into the biscuits for about as long as pb and Story of the World is in my Top ten songs ever. However, I came away disappointed to the point I hardly listen to any bisco these days unless it\'s pre 2001, whereas umph goes on the car stero fairly often.

Special show? They are going to play Wales, especially for me and actually play a decent show, rather than the techno crap they filled most of their set with when I saw them earlier this year. I know Barber was playing with a broken leg, but I never expected Umphreys McGee to play the better show. Was one helluva diappointment.
-
May have to hit either higher ground or house of blues.
havent been to a bisco show in a while.... am i going to have to take al sorts of crazy drugs to fit in?
i went to a show in providence last year "slightly drunk" and definetly felt out of place.
however, i would have felt weird asking some punk kid for drugs

-
cali is a dif tour. they have dates all the way through jazz fest and beyond. just not announced yet. they will hit every market a few times i bet. and a big west coast run.
i will be going to hang with my buddy dan in texas for the texas dates. should be fun
moe4dan: hates possum encores.
thats cool though, i think i\'m gonna do Denver and chill w/ Boone and the rest of the CO crew(and Greg Ellis if he\'s there by then).
-
id say since langerado is announcing thier lineup on dec 8th that it has nothing to do with latenight phish and everything to do with a fest set at langerado and a latenight in miami the other night
-
whats the chance the "surprise shows" on the 7th and 8th of march have something to do with the phish shows?
100%
i\'d say more like 1% phish
99% langerado/fla

Big time Meh, what the hell are the most of those dates going to do for me. I want to waste all my money I don\'t have on Biscuits in (fathomable traveling distance) tour. I was really hoping for a Warehouse date to tell you the truth. No Providence, Albany, PHILLY, or even Slayerville (not that I really want to go there ever again.) Further, I have Animal Collective tickets for the first night of the tour which puts me in quite a predicament. I am also shocked they would go that far west and not hit Cali.

if anyone wants to go to buffalo...holler.
