The Boy Lacks Patience - first gig in a long time - with lots of new material from the forthcoming second album and as well as the piano experimentation with accordion and kick drum...... so quite a rare event in an atmospheric venue.......could sell out as small venue so get there early!.......chance to preview nearly all new material none of which is actually online yet old material can be checked out at http://www.myspace.com/theboylackspatience and http://www.theboylackspatience.com support from our good friend Julius who you can check out athttp://www.juliusmusic.com and his my space (which is on The Boy Lacks Patience my space page)

i'm hoping she wasn't? only because i only noticed a Sparklehorse poster yesterday (too late for the gig) and i'd hate to think i missed her!

i was in awe of their song Good Day which played on the OC a few weeks ago........ an utterly astounding song ....the keyboardist Andrew Horowitz won the 2004 John Lennon Scholarship Competition, presented by Yoko Ono and BMI, for writing it............(Horowitz also has a side project called the Toy Orchestra which sounded familiar to me) my best description so far for what they sound like so far has been 'the Beatles meets Queen meets Weezer meets They Might Be Giants'............but having just recieved the very eclectic album not even that can cover it......... no one else seems to be talking about them but me.........though they're big in their home town and starting to make it big in the states..........they haven't really launched over here ........so getting their album was difficult though i bought bits on itunes before the cd arrived so i could play them Dj-ing so check them out............i recommend Good Day first up........because it's an incredibly well composed and orginal though clearly derrivitive ......and after that Two Wuv is cute and v weezer-esque...........Greener is good.........and the Banana Man video is a must because it's as crazy as the song http://www.myspace.com/tallyhallcom http://www.tallyhall.com/

thanks guys

maybe this is lame because i haven't made a post in forever because i never seem to have the time.....so forgive me for being a bit excited about this the Dresden Dolls new album was out today (incidently as this is music discussion my favourite tracks for now are - Backstabber - Dirty Business & Shores of California) anyway......some artwork of mine, a photograph i took of a friend who models for me to be more specific has been included in the album booklet (some of you may be aware that there was a competition) so here's the original & the page from the booklet

i have a delightful Biffy Clyro t-shirt which i am selling on ebay..........i've been selling my soul on ebay lately.........or at least my old stuff due to a money requirement .....plus i have too much stuff that i don't use/wear..........anyway, i'll be sad to see it go but i'm sure it will go to a good home....it's also one i don't think you can get anymore here be the t-shirt ...clicky clicky

man.........this thread is quite snippy 0_o i have too many things to say so i'll try to condense it . . . what gives a clearer picture......if you compare Monday night performance to secret mini Tuesday night performance.....to.........Wednesday night Edinburgh performance at the Exchange (not the corn)..... Monday she was intensely nervous......which she mentioned herself when i said i saw the progression.....i still think monday night was a decent set and the Momas cover was excellant.....Tuesday was a fun thing...........we went to see Regina Spektor.....(who i have to say was astonishingly good ...one of the greatest gigs i've ever been to) Amanda came on to do a song with her as they be friends from touring together before.......they then both became part of this Vaudeville Caberet night thingy at the Bongo club..........(which by the way had this hilarious comedian called Tony Carter ^_^ and these fantastic funny and sleek puppet guys called Caberet Decadence) ........it was all quite last minute and Amanda had to play this cruddy little keyboard (Regina was too scared of it......Regina is possibly the most adorable woman alive).....it was still decent though and the fun part was that Amanda had made friends with a double bass player ....who also played trumpet and pretended to be coin-operated boy while tap dancing girl poked him around......there was also the guitarist 'Mr 'Than' who had a fun song which they all played together.........the atmosphere at the caberet night was brilliant........lots of good acts.........the host was pretty fun too and sang Amsterdam with Amanda.......(and i think they'd all only had one run through) ......so by Wednesday Amanda was in full swing at her Edinburgh gig...........comprable to the first time i saw the Dresden Dolls...........fully made up energetic and expressive with a breathtakingly powerful edge to her voice............and later (also fully made up) her new found friends joined her for some songs.........it was an excellant set................i think not only was she getting her confidence back but she seemed to have had time to fall in love with Edinburgh .....and feel really at ease........also the stage was a lot higher up........making for the best perspective of everyone...........(although Regina was great Caberet Voltaire stage made for difficult viewing at times......and Moshulu is great it that you can pretty much see from anywhere due to the raised part around the dancefloor..... but as Amanda was quite far back and isolated and low down it affected the atmosphere a little - (not a dig.......a lot of venues are like this.......posssibly due to certain practicalities i would assume....like maybe the roof isn't high enough) anyway......it's still just an opinion.......but i think the comparison is important.............i'm probably biased because the first time i saw them they were amazing........and i can't say how i would have felt if that was the first set i had ever seen.......i also think that Brian IS exhausted........they have been touring constantly and Brian is a fenominal and energetic drummer.........and i also think monday was Amanda's first solo gig since way before the Dresden Dolls and i think it speaks volumes that although scared about it she didn't cancel the dates..... ps..........i think Lapsus have great stage prescence and rock star style..............i also think there are some good hooks and melodies hiding under there but i think at both venues it was difficult to hear the piano and vocals enough.........so i'm waiting to hear what the cd sounds like........
