HOB Sunset Strip

RiffRaff - 4-5-2006 at 02:05 AM

A fun show by the Bot tonight. Standard fare on the setlist, though the new songs really shined. Creeps Me Out and Tumbling Down both played great live. I'm A Bitch For You was a cool surprise.

In other news, House of Blues would appear to contain no fewer than 17 different bars yet it has no coat check.

Creeps Me Out was certainly a highlight, as well as was seeing the Riff, Evil Motivator, Juno, and Marvin (the latter in the crowd).

I have to say that the openers were less than thrilling, the only exception being the first band on...I felt bad for you guys in the front row who had to endure the others.

So nice to see Ima Robot back onstage. Justin did seem floored by the reaction. The place was pretty well packed with fans, this despite having only an EP to push and the two new songs. It seemed the crowd appreciated the band as much as in the post-album heyday (Henry Ford show, anyone?)

I have four EPs to dole out. $5 plus $2 shipping if you live in the U.S. Seacap and one other person have already claimed two of them. If anyone is interested, send me a U2U with your info and I will email you my address so you can send the dough.

We missed you, Poobs! And were you there, Neuwave?

Update:

And were you there, Neuwave?


Unfortunately, the Bot got beat out by a cozy night out of the rain with a King Kong DVD, and weed. :lol:

I forgot how miserable it feels after missing a show. :no: :lol:

That makes it the second time that I've purchased 4 tickets, and not showed up. No regrets. Just showing my love.

I'm surprised they didn't play more new songs.

not my fault. as seen on my "Fear and Loathing
in Vienna" blog on Myspace. - cat fight. didnīt
know you`re friends with Batcave Baby. Does
she also know Sandra?Think she moved and

topher4000 - 4-6-2006 at 02:54 AM

What songs are actually on the EP? I've heard lots about it but nothing to do with what's actually on it! I'd love to get my hands on one, but living in Europe doesn't help my case I'd imagine...

[Edit] - I suppose it would help if I'd bothered to look in the Releases & Recordings section first! Now I'm enlightened!

Damn, sorry I missed you wrestling match!
I don't think Buttcave Barbie ever met Sandra. Probably for the best, she's not so into the Germans ;)
Sandra left for Brisbane a couple days ago but she'll be back in a couple months. Too bad she'll miss the CS tour. . .

batcave_baby - 4-6-2006 at 03:30 PM

Yeah, DungareeRuboff, you're totally right, die Deutschen und ich sind nicht Busenfreunde. Or something like that. Were you on that trip Matt? Or did I just torture all the other fellows?

So the show

batcave_baby - 4-6-2006 at 03:52 PM

was radical. I was in a bit of a foul mood, on account of being deathly ill, until Ima Robot came on. The opening bands, were not much to be discussed. I especially thought the first band was horrible. Gram Rabbit was fairly interesting to watch, but the monotone vocals for most of their songs wasn't real impressive. Unfortunately, I can be seen in two of the cobrasnake photos. They were taken during the opening acts, so my foul mood is quite palpable in the photos.

When robuns first came on stage, I yelled hi to Justin, and I was surprised that he actually recognized me, considering I look different from the last time I saw them over a year ago, and he probably meets thousands of fans every year. He was as alway so kind, and came forward to say hi and grab my hand (Matt got faced). Later in the show Justin handed me an EP instead of throwing it out into the crowd, and he gave me the set list at the end of the show. It always surprises me how amazingly nice and humble Justin is. And what a fucking amazing musician as well.


Anyway, I was thrilled that they played Ages of Ruin and I'm Your Bitch. Alex was energetic and...see through. I'm disappointed that the dance-off didn't develop into a Girls Just Wanna Have Fun-like scene. This is my first time seeing them since Filip (spelling?) has been on board, and I thought he added some nice touches to the older material, but I do miss Ollie's stagemanship (if that's a word). I can't wait til they start playing more often. By the time I made my way to the merch table the EPs were all sold out. So thank you Justin for hooking me up.

They look good still!!!!!!:D

7cut - 4-6-2006 at 10:53 PM

Curious...what have the Germans
done you take a dislike in diese
Leute --- talking post-war, okay? :D

I grumble about Germans when
Iīm in Germany but ever since I
moved to Austria and Austrians
grumble about Germans all the
time I get very patriotic fighting
like a mother lion.

btw. Justin is really kind.......
Long while ago when i first
saw Beck and yelled his name,
heīd come over and hug, and
take pictures and talk. Heīs
taking his time for people..rare
thing in much but much much appreciated!
