Comments on Pelican @ Neumo's

4 bucks for a PBR. Neumos sucks

Yep, Neumos is pretty bad. 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.

ps, whoever does sound at Neumos needs to learn a few things about creating a balanced sound. All I could hear was the bass drum.

The bass drum was so overbearing. 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.
