Tonight || November 25, 2006
Rare Saturday update, yes, but these gigs tonight are worth a quick recommendation:
Lee Harvey's: The Theater Fire
Might not even need a coat for this outdoor show, depending on how tonight's weather pans out, but even if so, The Theater Fire is usually at its best here, playing a longer set with more older material. Athens, GA's Hope For A Golden Summer opens, starting around 8:30 or 9 this evening.
Double Wide: The Crash That Took Me
[DARYL] lead singer Dylan Silvers has been raving about this side project privately for months now, and tonight, he finally tries to convince us if it's any good. We have no idea how this'll turn out (no song samples online yet, no gigs before this one), but we hope Silvers lays off the booze before performing and knocks out a solid show.
Others: Saboteur opens at the Darkside Lounge; Matt Pond PA rolls through town at the smaller side of the Gypsy Tea Room (while GWAR rattles the bigger room); Oklahoma's Evangelicals headline at Hailey's; The Strange Boys hold court at the Cavern; The Tah-Dahs play their first gig in quite some time at the Amsterdam Bar. Each of those are good for very different reasons, and we'd list 'em, but we gotta run...the Thanksgiving weekend continues at DdHQ with a family member's baby shower. -SM

it's my birthday, fucker!
GWAR rocked so hard.
The crowd was insane.
So much fun.
So how did The Crash That Took Me do?
Very well Sophie. Very well.
Nice! I really wish I could have been there.
P.S. Greil Marcus, rather. :)
I just have to say that the comment about Dylan Silvers "laying off the booze" is a little below the belt. OK, I think it's a lot below the belt, and frankly--it comes off as pretty mean spirited. I'm all for objective "journalism", but that's just not necessary. And it's kinda bordering on Perez Hilton territory.
Uh...have you ever been to a fucking [DARYL] show? Dylan has never once been shy about his appreciation for drinks at gigs--same as most musicians, granted, but when that interferes with putting on a good show, that becomes Dd "territory."
