Re: Richard Buckner/Sebadoh in Dallas last night
Dancer reflects Andre, I totally agree with you about Deep Ellum Live. What a horrible place. I really hope I never have to go back there again. The staff were total assholes, the crowd sucked, the sound system kept falling apart. Nothing about that place deserved a show as cool as it got last night. Anyway, that's it. Thanks for all the recommendations... Yeah, this venue is the worse thing Dallas has to offer when it comes to outlets. Besides the rude staff and often annoying crowds, the place has no taste in beer either. Last time I went (about five years ago for Steve Earle - which was a great show with NO sound problems), I had the option between Coors Light and Bud Light. The bartender claimed that most of the people prefer light beer at Deep Ellum Live. What a bunch of @#%$$%@# bull shit. After this experience, I pledged that I will never set my feet inside that place again. Thank god, Steve and Del are playing at Lakewood Theatre this coming Friday, which is a very nice venue and only a three minute walk from my house. Can't wait! Later...

Richard Buckner/Sebadoh in Dallas last night
Okay as you can tell, we opted for the Buckner show because a.) he's not local so who knows when he'll be back, and b.) Slobberbone was in Denton and nobody knew how to get there... Buckner came on right when we got to the club. He was really unpretentious and nice, bringing his own equipment onstage and everything. If he needs a roadie, I'd gladly quit school right now and work for free. Why the hell not. Anyway, the whole set was just Richard and Penny sitting up there...it was all electric. The drums were a different touch, but it was very cool. He played all of the more rockin' songs from "Devotion and Doubt" and "Since"...nothing from "Bloomed". There were a few that I didn't even recognize, but I think it's just cause he kind of mumbles and the sound system was sucking. But it was definitely as good as I thought it would be...The "D D" songs..."figure", "4 a.m.", etc. came across really well electric. It was beautiful...I saw Richard walking around the club later and wanted to go talk to him, but chickened out... Sebadoh...I was suprised at how much I liked them, considering that I've never been a big fan and didn't own any albums. For a 3-piece band, they were AMAZINGLY impressive. There was a center of power coming out of their music that totally transcended the crappy venue and crappy fans...I think it blew everyone away. Lou was in a happy mood, tearing up the stage...He said that this was the first night in months or something that he'd broken any guitar strings. I'd definitely go see them again. Andre, I totally agree with you about Deep Ellum Live. What a horrible place. I really hope I never have to go back there again. The staff were total assholes, the crowd sucked, the sound system kept falling apart. Nothing about that place deserved a show as cool as it got last night. Anyway, that's it. Thanks for all the recommendations... love, Dancer (Amanda)

I will give them one more chance when they come to Chgo. next month. Sadly I'm a little underwhelmed by the new album, but I hear they're doing a lot of older material on this tour anyway. Tracy L.
