Concrete Blonde

[Static Universe]

I'm thinking about buying a couple of tickets for an upcoming Concrete Blonde show in St. Louis, but at 25 bucks a pop, I'm not sure it's worth it. I love the band, but the price of tickets plus a night of drinks for two would really hit my wallet right now.

Has anyone seen a recent show and would recommend it?

Please, someone give me an excuse to go.

Concrete Blonde does a great show, but their fans suck ass. I tried to pogo at their farwell concerte, and some dude put his elbow up into my ribs. We could do any dancing cuz of all the stupid yuppie twits. It was the shortest concert I ever saw, 45 minutes, no encore. The audience was the lamest I've ever seen.

I'm kinda sad that their back together, cuz now I can't say I was at their final show anymore.

Retro punk live, retro pop on their cds.

$25 is cheap fora concert. Go and have fun; if some yuppies try to hassle you then sit there and make fun of them. That usually gets them to shut up.

They're playing a great venue here, but I suspect the audience won't be much different. On the other hand, it's an all ages show, so maybe some younger Goths will show up and liven things up a little. Of course, the Goths in this town leave something to be desired too...

45 minutes!!! I just can't spend the money on that.

I really wish I hadn't promised this girl last night I would get a ticket for her. Gin and tonic is rapidly becoming the bane of my existence.

Things to consider about my short concert. One, the lead singer was sick. Two, the audience was terribly lame and there was no energy from the crowd feeding the band. Three, it was their final show and they just wanted it over.

Hmm, maybe I should go then.

Thanks for the info.

Just remember, they don't sound the same live as they do on their cds. That's why the crowd was so lame. They came expecting a retro band and got punk instead.

Cement Banana is the back up band.

I don't even remember the other bands. Went to a lotta shows that year, Sonic Youth, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, X, the Butthole Surfers.
