Off_White Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 I saw a great show in Portland last night (Sat 3/27) and would highly recommend it. It's all pop of one variety or another, but the combination was simply splendid, one of the best shows I've seen in quite awhile. The Deathray Davies - Guitar driven wall of sound with a propulsive rhythm section Dressy Bessy - Chunky stratocaster pop, think "Kinks" not "Beatles" The Starlight Mints - complex and layered, with a techno aftertaste, lightshow bonus points They're playing tonight in Seattle at Neumos, and tomorrow night in Vancouver at Richards, check it out.

Off_White Posted March 29, 2004 Author Posted March 29, 2004 Does NOFX noodle around much? What, you mean like a jam band? I don't think so. That should be a pretty damn good show. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Departing for B__'s to drink jinnantonix in t-minus 2ish hours, thence to the aforementioned Rock vs. Bush tour show. If sub-two-minute blasts of scathing (or sometimes sophomoric -- or both) humor propelled by pogo-punk perfection counts as noodling, then yeah, NOFX noodles. If you're talking about space jam freakouts, consider the following opening lines from their tune "Always Hate Hippies": "You are a hippie, you smell like skunk I'm your arch enemy, a middle class street punk!" Toss in a little morose despair from the Alkaline Trio and some Jello Biafra pontification, and you're good to go! Quote
