last week
last week was busy. i think i mentioned tuesday's enduser show below, so let's start with the dance party.
Wed: DJ Empirical's Pan-Genre Dance Party was, i think, a success. I had many people on the dance floor of the Comet (a rock-n-roll bar) shaking their respective things, and i guess you can't judge success at a dance party better than that. :)
Thu: Clutch at the Southgate House -- amazing. I got their late, so i missed the opener, and even a couple Clutch songs. That was ok, though, as they played forever! Two sets, in fact. There were a lot of newer tracks, ones i didn't really recognize. I'll have to remedy that slight clutch cd deficit i have going.
Fri: DJ Empirical and the Black Fives were supposed to play in a courtyard in downtown Cincinnati, but it got rained out, and since there was no rain provision, their performances were just canceled. Phooey. Oh well, everyone went out for karaoke later instead.
Sat: Yoga canceled in the afternoon, and the Southgate House Summer Showcase show was way weird. There were definitely not as many people there as i had anticipated, plus the upstairs lineup, where the Black Fives were scheduled, got changed at some point. The Black Fives, as you may know, are an electronic noise/beats duo, yet opening for them in the southgate house parlour were two separate solo acoutic guitar/vox acts. apparently they were both from bands who "couldn't make it". weird. even better was that the second guy even played mostly covers (Beatles, Velvet Underground, etc.).
The Black Fives took the opportunity to play a lot and loudly. basically, the set was a lot of self-indulgent noise, perhaps the worst one we've played. it was fun, though we did run most of the people out. we even ended up playing an encore to one person: Jim from Chalk. he rocks.
Sun: I saw The Villiage. I didn't particularly like it; it was typical Shamalan bait-and-switch fare.
