While not along the normal theme of this thread, it is while I'm there for MLS Cup :o ...

Anyone familiar with the El Rey Theatre (http://www.theelrey.com/) in Los Angeles? If so, would love to chat over PM as I have a few logistical questions. Will be in LA for MLS Cup and found out Medeski Martin & Wood will be playing there that Friday night. Anyone else going to be there?

One of these days I'm going to go to an MLS Cup. Too close to the end of the semester to go this time though. :( If I were going, I'd be all over that show though.

Corrupted
November 8 2008

San Francisco Bay Area death metal, neo-classical, doom metal (respectively) head up Corrupted, a sludge metal group from Japan. The place was packed. And it was freaking awesome. And freaking loud.

Nov. 17 - Subterranean, Chicago

Bishop Allen
Republic Tigers
Electric Owls

Electric Owls was weird. I do like his music... one song especially, "Magic Show." He seems like a nice guy, but he doesn't have that much of a stage presence. He comes out and says, "Hi, I'm Andy. We're Electric Owls." Then he proceeds to play music all by himself with just a guitar and drums etc. on a track he starts from a laptop. The sound guy didn't help him on the aforementioned song. That's for sure. Strangest thing... he sang Bobby Vinton's "Mr. Lonely." I didn't get it.

Republic Tigers were great. A good sound, fun show. This is who I came to see. Very rich sound. Even their sound test was fun. Big disappointment: They didn't play "Give Arm to Socket." Though it seems like that was the only song they didn't play. Enjoyed it a lot.

Bishop Allen. They're ok. I like them, but I wasn't feeling it that night. They were energetic. The singer's voice is good... but the show just wasn't that great. Felt like they should have been opening for Republic Tigers, not the other way around. We didn't stay for the whole thing, and I don't really feel like I missed anything.
