yee-ha! i went to see eric's trip for the first time in my entire life on friday at the volcano in kitchener, and i was TOTALLY in awe, and couldn't believe how i've never heard of them until earlier this year and never saw them until friday :) altho christian has posted about the show, i'll add my $0.02 worth.
curb were cool. they're a trio from minnisota, with 2 boyz (1 on drums, the other on bass and vox), and a girl (gee-tar and vox). pretty cool rawkin' stuff. the new grand, as said, were plagued with a few probs since they didn't get to do a sound check. my first time seeing them, and they rawked :) i loved them!! "frat boy" and everything, right warren? ;) i rilly liked their sound, and they were pretty energetic. mike apologized to me after the show for all the probs, which i didn't quite get why he did, but nonetheless that was sweet :) orange glass : wow!! lots of noise, couldn't hear much vocals :( but wow, i was really impressed! one thing i couldn't help notice was how skinny tara is!!! too bad their single is on vinyl.. *sigh* eric's trip.. oh man, it was an *amazing* experience. seeing them live isn't just going to see a band play, it's like a totally new experience that i can't explain.. just soo much energy and noise and.. wow!! (i'm at a total loss for words) they had only blue lights shining on them and they just illuminated all 4 of them and it gave them an almost surreal presence. since i'm a fool and don't own any eric's trip stuff (well, NOW i do..) i couldn't really tell you all the titles.. (go bug warren, he got the set list).. but they did play a broken girl song, and lots of new stuff and a mix of the old.. 2 tracks from _peter_, me thinks.. julie, rick, and chris all shared vocal duties. even with earplugs, the music was pretty loud. the last song before the encore, there was this massive feedback and reverb and all this stuff that i don't know about, and it was weird because i could feel the vibrations just go through my entire body (i was standing in the front).. and for the encore, the never ending experiments of chris.. WOW!! oh man, eric's trip are AWESOME!! julie was even kind enough to sell a few copies of my zine at the merch booth :) and all 4 copies laid out were sold!! :) :) :) :) one was bought by ron in orange glass!!!! (btw: copies of my zine are still available.. like, *really* available since no one has ordered any.. *sniff*) anyway, on to the next posting.. ...sizzle teen ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- carol nishitoba !
