Just saw Shellac

CHOUT · 09.13.2006, 01:25 AM

They are so funny live - really one of the funniest bands. Love the Q&As. And they were tight as hell. Todd Trainer is one of my favorite drummers - so fun to watch. Weston said tube amps are for pussies (he has a solid state Traynor bass head in that big metal box). Lots of new songs - the new album will rule I'm sure. They said it'll be out at the beginning of next year. Got a nice big ass door-size poster I ripped off the wall.

i believe we were discussing this.

they were good at the t&g party

CHOUT · 09.13.2006, 02:04 AM

1000 Hurts is my favorite. I wanna cover Prayer To God maybe.

They were the best ever. Seriously, that was such a good time.

i was a little disappointed with the new year but shellac really delivered

Norma J · 09.13.2006, 03:18 AM

Am jealous.

whorefrost · 09.13.2006, 05:22 AM

i saw them in edinburgh a couple of years ago and they were spot on. i have action park and terraform, action park is probably more consistent although terraform has a few more awesome songs...

Rob Instigator · 09.13.2006, 08:57 AM

the new year is like the polar opposite of shellac. I love them as well. different band for different mood.

shellac fucking rule all live. I had such a blast seeing them in Houston earlier this year. I bought a t-shirt. said hello and chatted with steve albini for a bit. great time.

my favorite is at action park, but i love them all, ALL!
I got the seven inches too. those rule.
my favorite shellac song, the one that drives me crazy and makes my body convulse with rock fury, is DOG & PONY SHOW

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 09.13.2006, 10:04 AM

Dog and Pony Show rocks. I like Big Black more though. I'm playing around with the idea of covering Steelworker.

Pookie · 09.13.2006, 11:06 AM

I went to ATP when Shellac curated and so saw them three days running.

I got up midday Friday, Saturday & Sunday had breakfast and then went to see Shellac.

Monday I had withdrawal symptoms.

Shellac came to Birmingham recently to a club for 18 and older, which really pissed me off. Shellac is definetly in my top 3 bands. I honestly don't see how anyone could not like them.

Another little story.
My sister went to the t&g concert and said she met Todd. He was sitting at the bar, drunk. I think all she really said was that it was a good show, the typical meeting a band member spiel.
To me he seems pretty unapproachable. Like he's a junky. (Or like he might rob you, or insult you, or something)
He's one of my favorite drummers as well. With his sparse, somewhat simple, off beat, drumming.

I swear I heard the same thing at this time last year.

Ive said before Todd looks like a retarded junkie, but in a good way. He's just hilarious to look at when he isn't even doing anything. I met him recently (he lives here) and he was pretty nice, seemed pretty quiet actually.
