Re: v-roys/bare jr.
When Bare Jr. opened up for Black Crowes my first half-thought was that Billy Corgan had grown a lot of fuzzy hair and gained some weight... Combine that with the loud, repetetive sound and whaddya get? Smashing Bumpkins.
v-roys / bare jr.
I guess it's about time for the monthly reminder that the V-Roys are still the best live band in America. I saw the open (?!?!) up for Bare Jr. last night in Chapel Hill and they put on one of the best shows of theirs I have seen. They opened the set with the new-ish "Motion Pictures" and went straight into "Cry." Very good. A highlight was a new song called "God Damn the Sun." "Sorry Sue" gets better and better everytime I see it. And, the biggest highlight for me was "Virginia Way-Wind Down." They are getting tighter and tighter and, as always, seem to be having a great time. They said afterwards that they are really looking forward to the week of dates opening for Cheap Trick...like a childhood dream come true. Bare Jr. on the other hand made me feel old...even though I am not fairly young compared to the demographics of this list. They were pretty good, but they were SOOO LOUD and repetitive. I am still having a hard time really getting into the album cause so much of it sounds the same. I had the same problem with their live show.

Chad said that he was reminded that the V-Roys were the best live band in America. I agree. He also said: Bare Jr. on the other hand made me feel old...even though I am not fairly young compared to the demographics of this list. They were pretty good, but they were SOOO LOUD and repetitive. I am still having a hard time really getting into the album cause so much of it sounds the same. I had the same problem with their live show. Bare Jr. makes me feel young. I absolutely love their album, and their live show (the first time they've played here) lived up to all my expectations. They were rocking hard on the very first song. It's nice to see a band give 1000% even when the gig is 75% empty. A friend of mine noticed how polarizing Bare Jr is, though, specifically with my friends here who often agree on music. Half of my friends LOVE them and half HATE them. I love 'em. Deaar postcarders, the guitarist was wearing pajamas, but they didn't have bunnys on them. Should I hate him? Please advise. :^) See ya.
