Bits & Pieces
Fucked Up is still topping my personal playlist, just about a week til official release…working next to Slim’s in SF I sometimes have occasion to experience the bands outside of the actual show: last year heard Black Rebel Motorcycle Club soundcheck (“Red Eyes and Tears”) one late afternoon around 6 o’clock as my work day was ending; shoulda stuck around last Wednesday, maybe coulda heard Stiff Little Fingers’ check too!…Of course sometimes it isn’t just vicarious: inside the club last April to see Big Light perform, great band, great show, bass player kinda stole the show…Yuck at the Independent in July is the next one officially on my calendar…bummer the Twilight Singers at the Fillmore was cancelled due to “illness”; they had played the scheduled show in Seattle Sunday May 22nd and then played in LA as scheduled Wednesday May 25, so SF was the only unfortunate cut, hope Dulli’s not a certain kind of sick again…
