Show Journal 2004-06-19
One night Richland, the next Seattle. One town we have a following, the other we definitely do not. Attendance wise the show tonight was totally weak. It was the 1year anniversary for Artsy-Noise, which is a NW based webzine and to celebrate they had back to back shows. Sadly both were sparsely attended as the headliners for each night bailed at the last minute. Speaking of bailing … as soon as the first band finished they packed up and then drove home without watching any of the other bands. When the second band finished, they packed up and drove home without watching a single song of the other bands as well. So on behalf us … fuck you both. (Note to any other bands/musicians reading this … unless you have a dire emergency you should watch at least some of the set of the other bands you play with. Seriously, even just one song, or having someone at least pretend like they care is always a good thing.) The band that did stick around was the Television Killers. Young, loud, fast and snotty would sum them up best. Judging from their song selection I hope they will consider that a compliment. Our set? 10 songs chosen by the Kelvis himself. We later determined 10 songs was almost exactly a one to one ratio with the people standing up. Thankfully Kevin, Robert, Al, Todd, Chris and the Artsy Noise folks did their best to remain enthusiastic and despite Jim’s efforts to dismantle the power grid, it was strangely enjoyable. There was supposed to be a headliner tonight but they decided not to play since “it would take too long to setup”. Nice. Thanks to Artsy Noise, Kevin and his posse, Fatburger, Beth’s and the crock pot. Also, Justin would like to invite anyone and everyone to “grab a slice”.
