Line Out - Comments on Pelican @ Neumo's http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/08/pelican_neumos Growing up in Florida, you learn that a hurricane entails more than raging gusts and torrential rain. Major storms play out in a symphonic process, dramatically unfolding as they crawl scouring across the landscape: There's the long, twilit buildup,...

That show was ok. Clouds was really disappointing. Pelican's first song was amazing, and they got a little boring and meandering later (and their drummer, who is clearly talented, is not very creative given all that he could have done with those songs). They should have played more of their rocking songs at the live show. Save most of the pretty stuff for the CD.

All I could hear was the bass drum.

It's also because their drummer has absolutely no finesse or sense of dynamics. Totally fucking kills the boner I have for that band every time I see them. On record he's relatively easy to ignore, but live... he just pounds away, even through all the quieter/pretty parts.

And Clouds killed it dude, I don't know what show you were at. Just another example of Seattle not knowing what to do when a band comes to ROCK YOUR FUCKING FACE OFF.
