Girl Talk – 2007-07-27
July 31st, 2007Not that many updates recently which is a culmination of factors. Mostly because there haven’t been a lot of shows worth going to lately and I’ve been kinda doing nothing all summer. Finally a few shows cropped up that I had the energy to go to and tape.
So here is Girl Talk from Friday night at the block party. I’ll put up the openers soon (Cancer Rising and The Trucks) but I figure most people just want to get let their freak flag fly to some Girl Talk as soon as possible.
Also: Within the next few days I’m going to post the audio from the Marnie Stern show I went to last month. I keep meaning to do it but I forget or I get lazy or BLAH BLAH FART. I also recorded some video at that show so I’ll try to torrent that as well.

Yeah I didn’t even know that was the case until I read the story on some other blog. I suppose it makes sense that people were shut out (hottest act of the block party, last act of the night, small club) but I didn’t have any trouble getting in. I did, however, get into Neumo’s at about 9:30 or so.

AWESOME to see you posting to the blog again. I was hoping you were doing ok after the ESP/Brakes show. (Thanks again for your help there!!)
Hope your summer is going well and maybe I’ll bump into ya at a show this fall.
THANKS for your efforts.

I assumed that it would “sell out”, I just didn’t think it would happen so soon. I imagined that there would at least be a little bit of turnover after the Trucks or that they would let people in as space became available. Sounds like the guards just got fed up with the crowd and decided not to let anyone in after about 11.

sweet! I was another one of the unlucky people who, after waiting an hour and a half, were 10 feet away from the door when they shut it down. Thanks so much!

Great news about the Marnie Stern set!
I was hoping you’d taped her.
Paris is pretty much dead in the summer too concert-wise…
The only good shows we’ve had in July were:
Animal Collective/Gravenhurst/Sebastien Schuller
Andy Yorke (formerly of Unbelievable Truth)& This is the kit
Kimya Dawson/Angelo Spencer/Lucky Dragons
No Age/Mika Miko/Le Club des Chats
Then nothing interesting for at least 2 or 3 weeks…
