Show Journal 2001-06-29
If you don’t live in Longview you missed a totally rad show tonight! All the other bands tonight played very well. The Daryls were amazing! We played with them in Seattle a while back and I thought they were ok then, but tonight they just rocked. I guess we had to see them in their element. Props to the Wannabes too! I think their song ‘Round and Round’ is the catchiest song I’ve heard in ages. I find myself singing the chorus for hours on end. And holy crap, the Groovie Ghoulies rocked tonight! I had heard them plenty of time before but never actually seen them live. They were so good, so energetic and so much fun to watch. I was totally impressed. The Longview crowd was amazing tonight as well. Energetic, active, singing along, everything … too bad they don’t live in Portland. I swear I even saw an 800 Octane guitar pick ear ring. It’s so cool to see so many familiar faces at the shows there. Amazingly they haven’t tired of Dave’s jokes yet … although the Octopus joke might have driven a few people across the line. One real cool surprise was an appearance by Marty from the 1997-1998 Marty’s Garage days! Thanks to Rick and Emily for coming along for the drive and selling our merchandise, a shot out to Attom and Mark from Dead Even for making the pilgrimage to Longview, and also huge thanks to Brady for kissing our asses.
