now that it is two days after the roxy show my review might not be as good as would have been yesterday. i agree with cyndi that the roxy is a lame venue. they staff seemed like they were all trying to be super proffessional. they would let in like five people at a time, and then stop everyone and check. they had an argument about whether or not they should check bags or not…they checked mine.
i ended up finding a spot on the raised part of the floor, starting out in the back corner and gradually working my way closer to the stage without pushing people out of the way (there were two specific girls that spent most of the show pushing there way though the crowd, going back and forth for drinks and practically knocking people over…once s-k started playing no one let them get away with that). as far as the music goes. i liked the quails. i didn’t love them, but it seemed that they were good song writers and musicians. i prefered the second half of their set…i’m not sure why. i absolutely hated the yeah yeah yeahs and have no idea what all the media hype is about. their music made me tired, people around me looked bored as well. there was one song that was ok, but i thought they were annoying and trying to hard to shock people. if they were
trying to shock people and wrote better songs i might have liked them better. i had watched the show up to this point standing behind the tallest guy at the show…anyone that was there probably knows who i’m talking about. he was like 7 feet tall and all his friends were my height (5′4″) or shorter. he moved after the yeah yeah yeahs and i ended up being able to see really well. s-k were awesome (probably the best i’d ever seen them, and this was my 8th time). i was so thrilled that they played songs off call the doctor, and i surprised myself by dancing a lot.
after the show my friend and i waited around a few minutes and suddenly we realzied that corin was walking in our direction. we had planned to give her our band’s cd. so we sort of made our way in her direction and were asked to take a picture of her with these two people. the we acted like big dorks and gave her the cd. she was super nice as she usually seems to be, and seemed surprised when we sort of darted off in the other direction after talking to her. ours was the first cd she got that night, so i wonder if it’s being used as a coaster, or if they actually listen to them.
that’s enough of a review for me. i wish i was seeing them again on this tour.
