boo for spaceland being 21+.

I can't recommend this band live enough. Fantastic shows, even when you don't know any of the songs.

On a whim, I went down and taped the Dears here in Peterborough this summer. It was a really cool show in spite of the sound problems they were having.

Keyboardist: "Can I have some dynamite in my monitor, please?"

I've only seen them once, and that was when they opened for Sloan two or three years ago...I thought they put on a pretty good live show though! That show was in the KW, julian...you were prob there :D

as a matter of fact, i was. So was Aaron (autunmNOCTURNE). He regreted not taping it.
Apparently they're taking a break from touring locally for a bit, so it might a while till I see them again.

you're just jealous cause you live in new jersey.

I saw them in london this past fall and they are one of those bands that is a million times better live than on CD. amazing shows.... they said they are going away for a while to reinvent themselves. so i hope this is a reinvention is in a direction that I like... and i also hope they don't go away for too long.

I was at that show too, they were amazing! I just posted about how good they are... I saw them at the Opera House in Toronto ealier... I think it was November or something... anyone know if this show was taped? They played a brilliant version of Autonomy... they're so good!

On a sidenote: Heart by the Stars is quite an enjoyable album

They came to my school last semester and all of about 30 people showed up. The fucking show cost $2 and barely anyone came. It was a fucking embaressment.
Regardless of that, the dears came out drugged up something wicked, and kicked ass for a solid 2 hours. Then they came out and played a double encore for us. The keyboard girls were rediculously high. One had her eyes closed for the entire show and barely moved.
It was awesome, but sad that no one went.

What is Heart by the Stars? I haven't heard of it...

and that's not drugs, man, that's the music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, same thing at my school. $2, I got in for free cause i was early. It was a great show as well. I only recognized three songs, but it was still one of the best I saw that year.

And the keyboardist (one of them, the one who also plays the flute) is the hottest girl i've ever seen. She's worthe the price of admission alone.
