First song @ the Showbox was something I've never heard, pop rock, very good.
Either new or rare. 2nd song Isaac dedicated to his wife Maria on their one
year anniversary. Slow song I had never heard. Third song Doin the
Cockroach, etc etc. Great happy crowd. Isaac said we could all vote on the
last song: coice one Desert Tundra, second choice I never heard cuz everyone
was screaming their "vote" for the first choice!
I swear I heard three songs I've never heard before. Showbox attendee,
please tell me what that GREAT first song was
RCKNDY got there late, they were already Doin the Cockroach. Was was GREAT
was during a serious Isaac singing moment, a kid got on stage to stage dive,
totally chickened out, and decided to just jump back down feet first, and it
made Isaac LAUGH! While he was singing he was laughing, so the audience was
laughing, which made him laugh more.
For those of you who saw them last spring, Isaac looks much better. The
beard is gone and he even looks like he's lost some weight (Japanese food?)
Jeremiah talked to me for a while about Epic, no gross contract forcing them
to record, freedom. He said they are really happy about it. They tour Europe
for 3 weeks.
New army green buffalo logo shirts out now.
Some guy is with them now, playing keyboard. Don't panic, so far it's just
effects and dumb stuff while Isaac fiddles with his guitars incessantly. No
idea who he is, but he was on at both shows. I swear Jeremiah is getting
BETTER at drums.
Jeremiah also said they may not play Bumbershoot cuz they're trying to set up
a gig with Korn (!!) in Chicago on labor day weekend. But if it falls
through, they will try to do Bumbershoot cuz they had fun doing it.
Banner weekend!
