san city and state ka sir?
Seattle
Wuah! grin You've seen some of my favorite acts na, and always right by the stage too...
I'd heard that earplugs are available at the door for Sunn 0))) shows. How loud are they really, (for someone whose only been to gigs in Manila so far)?
How was the concert? Which of the three put on the best show?
And have you seen MBV since they started gigging again? grin
Posible nga na may earplugs sa venue tuwing may tugtugan ang Sunn 0))) pero ako n'un, may sariling dala sa bulsa k'se sadya ko talagang sa harap ang pwesto. Amps are definitely cranked to the max. Most venues in the US are equipped for soundproofing so that they can't disturb the nearby housing areas. Kaya lang meron at meron pa ring tumatawag sa pulis tuwing may tugtugan sa mga venue na malapit sa mga condo/bahay. Out of the three, talagang ang nasakyan ko, yung set ng Jesu. I liked them perhaps because I was most familiar with their music out of the three acts. It was only my first time then to see Eluvium and Sunn 0))) who were also quite impressive but I have to admit that I've got to dig into their recorded catalog a bit more.
Pangarap ko nga ring makita ang MBV, pero wala silang tugtugan na malapit sa atin--mahal na nga air fare ngayon kaya pass muna ako sa tour nila. I heard they played a blistering set at the annual All Tomorrow's Parties concert in New York the other week. Check out the lineup that performed:
My Bloody Valentine
Dinosaur Jr
Mogwai
Mercury Rev
Yo La Tengo
Lilys
Check Youtube with the key search "All Tomorrow's Parties" and "My Bloody Valentine" for some uploads from the show. Mababa nga lang ang mix ng vocals ni Kevin tsaka ni Bilinda (short hair na siya!) tapos full-blast sila sa gitara tsaka samplers...basta, search niyo na lang! I think I also posted a link earlier in the thread of them performing in Japan at the Fuji Festival too. Mas klaro yung vocals sa clip na yun.
Is that Ted Parsons on drums?
Yup, that's Parsons on drums. This was the first time that Justin was able to bring the original Jesu lineup to the US. I think for that tour last November, they only played 5 cities on the west coast, so it was pretty rare to even see all three acts (Eluvium, Jesu, Sunn 0))) )together.
