@mclaincausey I’ve been trying to catch them live for years and years. They never seem to come to Denver…until now!! 9/11 at the Ogden!
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

@popvulture have you seen them? I’ve heard their shows are crazy high energy.
-
@Mizmazzle probably a dozen times if I had to guess — for whatever reason they're almost like the official band of Austin, despite not being from here. Definitely super high energy, always worth going. Dwyer brings it. You'll enjoy!
-
@popvulture hell yeah man. I’ve been a fan for like 7-8 years. Been trying to catch them seriously for about 5-6 years and their tours never come to Denver of all places. I almost went down to Albuquerque a couple times.
Except why do they have to be playing on a Wednesday night?? Don’t they know I have school in the morning? Weekday shows are so hard for this old man these days.
-
@Mizmazzle haha I feel ya, man. Hard to keep up with people on rock n' roll time — I know I sure struggle.

@mclaincausey whoa!! Not sure how I missed this!! Guess this was during pandemic times. Can’t believe they sold out Red Rocks (albeit with limited seating). Didn’t think they were that big. They’re playing the Ogden in September, which is obviously way smaller.

@mclaincausey not sure if you’re joking ?? I love the Ogden!!
-
@Mizmazzle dead serious. IMO a lousy venue when oversold, which they are notorious for and should be expected for Thee Oh Sees. Bad sightlines and sound, extremely stuffy and sweaty, and getting a drink can be a real odyssey. They got greedy with extending the balcony with the VIP areas which limits visibility from the rest of the balcony. It’s OK when not oversold but IMO even the infamous Fillmore has surpassed it. When oversold, your only hope is to get one of the good spots like rail, bar, or central balcony riser.
It’s also filthy and dilapidated but that I can deal with if I can see and hear.
Surprised and disappointed that a band that can fill Red Rocks wouldn’t wind up at Mission.
-
@mclaincausey I love the gritty feel of the place. I’ve been going to see shows there since I was 19 so it’s just got so many memories for me.
-
@Mizmazzle unquestionably have great memories there and don’t mind a dive (heck my last show was at the Oriental) but I don’t esteem it at all as a quality venue and it can dampen my willingness to see a show. I’m grateful we now have Mission to make it look even worse
Back to topic: check out this lovely tome:
I also ordered WRONG on vinyl. It came out in 1989 just like this video:

Gonna need Alternative Tentacles to hurry the fuck up. Masterpiece of hardcore and in particular drumming. The way they mastered it the drums are very stereophonic too, the toms surround you. Can’t wait!
