Thurston Moore at Rock ‘n’ Roll Hotel (20070929)
I have made a bit of noise regarding bands skipping DC, often hitting the area via Baltimore, but I am beginning to think I should keep my mouth shut. The main reason is that DC music fans do not bother showing up for incredible shows. For example, how is it possible Thurston Moore‘s show at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hotel this past Saturday did not sell out until well into the show? Keep in mind that (1) it is Thurston Moore, (2) his latest album is perfectly normal and perfectly great, and (3) tickets were only $15? It is almost enough to say what kind of self-respecting music fan was not at the show.
In any event, Moore was a master…including throwing up on his guitar mid-song. If he wasn’t so old, that’d be rock ‘n’ roll. He’s also a master at writing songs with that slow groove I’ve been talking about (to people, not on this blog).
MIA In DC
After a hiatus, MIA In DC is back with some very sad news. Here’s who lacks the backbone to play in DC:
- Thurston Moore, too cool for the District
- Os Mutantes, too old to make it’s way over here
- Matmos, too afraid to leaving NYC
- Parts & Labor, none too impressed by their first gig here I guess
- Smashing Pumpkins, too busy re-selling out
