Comments on El Perro Del Mar @ Neumo's

I just got the Saturday Knights EP today and it is bangin. They sound way grittier than Seattle's new wave of live hiphop bands (Big World Breaks, etc.). The red velvet on the CD sleeve is pretty smart too. Is anybody with me? Was their set tight? Did Neumo's sound suck?

That is too bad about the crowd and El Perro Del Mar. Mostly bad on the crowd though. No respect. These artists put a lot into their performances, and to have them not appreciated, well it is not good.

I wanted to go to the show just to see El Perro Del Mar, glad I did not!

I will withhold my comments about immature audiences, and too much drinking....

thanks for the review Jonathan

Yeah, it did seem like a weird bill, with such a quiet band sandwiched between raucous, upbeat party music. I happened to tune in to KEXP while EPDM were playing (and you could probably listen in the streaming archive to see what you missed), and it wasn't really doing much for me. Only heard the one or two songs, though.

I wish you would have stayed for the Saturday Nights, Jonathan, as they were On Fire. It was so much fun.

But I was really disappointed the crowd didn't mellow down for El Perro de Mar beforehand too -- they released one of my very favorite records last year, and beneath the roaring din of the crowd sounded just as divine.

You should have come downstairs and met Sarah, Jonathan; she's as gracious and friendly as she is talented. (Assuming you hadn't met her in person after doing the excellent article in last week's Stranger.)

Is her last name really "Assbring?" That I can respect.
