9/16 harlow in sacramento

[Boo]

Hey, I've been registered for a while I think and never posted before. I don't think.


I went to the Harlow's show last nite, it was my third melvins show (the first 2 were the slims show's in july in san francisco) and it was amazing. I was really looking forward to seeing big business, they were unbelievable and the drumming is just too much. I can't say enough about either band, totally awesome. I thought the eggnog/houdini shows were good, but this lineup is great. I got the setlist, a pick from BB and the setlist after the melvins show. I got a couple photos and recorded most of it on a little olympus WM-300..havn't listened to it though. Got the 'smash the state' EP, the first big business and colossus of destiny.

We got there a couple hours early, we have a friend in the area and were gonna stop by. We went to harlows first, to see when we could get the will call tickets and were told not till 8pm. We went outside, saw the budget van and the guy I recognized from SF with the CDs. We talked to him about the stuff for sale and asked if the band was around, he said buzz and dale were wondering around somewhere. We went and had a couple beers at the truck, went to find some mexican food and then get to the show. About 7:35 we're leaving this little craphole and walk outside, and 30 feet in front of us is a short stout fella with some wild hair. My buddy kinda lost it and yelled "KING BUZZO!! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!! HOLY SHIT!!!". Buzz turned around to look at us and I thought he was going to run in the other direction. We caught up to him, asked what he was up to and walked the 5 or 6 blocks back to harlow's together. Seems like he could bullshit a mighty pile....

I met him outside of slims in july too, which pretty much blew my mind. I had a camera with me, my voice recorder and a pen and notebook, but didn't want to bother him with anything like that as he already seemed a little off balance and giggly. We shook his hand at the door, he said thanks for coming out, we invited him to smoke a joint with us and he said no but told us to be careful and have a good nite.....
oh yeah, I asked him about a new song, and he said they were playing 2 new ones...

here's the setlist off the drumkit (just as it's written)

It's shoved
Hold Your
civilized
suicide
billy fish
lizzie
your blessened
let god be your
hogleg
with teeth
blood witch
rat faced
hawk
you've never been
history of bad
mech. bride
d-wight

Jared did all the singing on Hogleg and a couple others, and the crowd was going pretty wild after "with teeth" all the way through "mechanical bride"
they had a limited edition Senile Animal CD....cardboard packaging. No show posters and the same houdini and eggnog artwork shirts as in July

I think that's it

I can't hear a fucking think

what an awesome set list. i like how they opened with "it's shoved", and no "let it all be"...interesting.
i know we got too see those two shows in july, but man i wanna see this lineup and this set list.
but still no s.f. date. and i was too poor to go sacramento

[Dead Cowboy]

FUCKING JARED ON HOG LEG GOOD FUCKITY POOPANTS!



*melgasm*

[Boo]

yeah, 9/16's what I meant.

Like I said, I can't hear shit.


yeah, jared on hog leg. I stood right in front of him the whole time....I'll see what kinda pictures I got and see if there's anything worth posting. I was standing right in front of jared.

[FartLips]

is "hold your" a new one or the beatles cover?

[AaronNi]

Great zombie Jesus!  I was surprise to see the 15th's setlist was the houdini album and now this?!  I can tell this is going to be a mindblowing experience already.  This time I know not to stand center stage so I'll be able to concentrate on the music and not being manhandled.

[norecess]

Awesome set list - assuming the new songs are equally awesome as the rest of their stuff.

And yeah, let us know whether that was a Beatles cover or not.

[Billy Fish]

I love how they made a song named after me.

[GrimReaper]

Great review!
