| Heh heh, well - the average Garbage fan has probably not heard Curve
| yet, and when they do, they'll think they're a rip-off. Sad, but
| luckily there's history and a catalog to surprise them with. ;)
| No no, don't get me wrong - I do like Garbage, but their latest
| single is just too close for comfort..
|
| About radio play - Garbage is getting all the radio play here in
| Sweden with their new single. I even wrote to the MD of the swedish
| national radio the other day asking why they play Garbage every
| second hour and I still haven't heard them play one single song
| from Curve's new album. No reply (of course). They did play some
| Curve songs back around 93, but not many, and not often. Don't
| know what they have against them.

hmmmmm. its a mystery to me too... i saw them last november at kings
college in london, and there was almost no promotion of the gig
whatsoever. chinese burn barely got played when it was released here,
and this is almost their home town... doh! but at least i got to meet
toni and dean and they were pretty cool, laid back types. not the edgy,
psychopathic, speed freaks that i was expecting... ps: to add more fuel
to the fire.....

toni was gorgeous that night. all smiley and happy before the show...

Blimey! Where would you get the idea that CURVE were "speed-freaks"!  
A right laugh, that one :-)

And we never did hear the make-up of the audience from the first writer!

Though, I can't imagine that there'd be much of a Goth turn-out for Curve;
Halliday's fashion sense aside ....

au revoir

oh you know, that general stereotype of the obsessive, introverted, angst
riddled, goth, style misery merchant... you know... andrew eldritch, david
gahan, nick cave, tinky winky, dipsy, laa-laa, po, toni and dean curve

| And we never did hear the make-up of the audience from the first writer!

bad make-up i'd expect. when i went nobody looked particularly attractive
(except for toni)...

hey. there was. it was pretty much all goth at the london gig... that and
the technoheads there for witchman...

Speaking of Jim Derogatis, I read an excellent article by him in the 
Dallas Observer from a few weeks ago on Spiritualized and their new album...

I saw Windy and Carl two weeks ago in NYC with Bardo Pond.  
In my opinion, Bardo Pond was terrible.  Their bass player muddied 
everything up with effects, and the music just wasn't even good 
experimental music.

W&C on the other hand were brilliant, though they only got to do 4 
songs and their time was up.

Subject: Silver Scooter/Solarium in San Fran!!! 4/10

Come on, kids - Indiepop ahoy!


Solarium opens for Silver Scooter at the
Purple Onion on this Friday April 10th, for
your listening pleasure.  Silver Scooter are in the midst of a national
tour and due to a last-minute cancellation you can fleetingly catch
them at this show.  This will be a good gig, capice?


The lowdown from The People Who Know These Things:


SILVER SCOOTER:  Freshly-squeezed indiepop straight outa
Austin, TX with great songwriting and melodies that stick to your ears
like, um, really sticky stickers or something.


Obligatory Nutshelling:  Kinda like Built to
Spill but they obviously have their own thing going on as well so don't
even go there.



SOLARIUM:  Sound-focused Spacerock featuring a guitarist
with too many effects, a shithot drummer, a spinetrak bassist, and a
mysterious chap called "Cookie."  The songs sound like the name feels.


Standard Pigeon Holing:  Often compared to
Mogwai, the celebrated guitarscapist Glaswegians...but of course we
have our own thing going as well...  "Little summer storms that
sometimes turn into raging wind tunnels."



So to recap, it's you, Silver Scooter, and Solarium Friday April 10th
at the Purple Onion around 9(or so....actually we dont really know when
we are going on....).  Don't drop the ball on this one or you will
always wonder.


p.s.(there might be an additional opening band called HAT....we have no
idea what they sound like though so dont freak out and leave if you
show up and there is flamenco music going on or something!)


Friday April 10th, 9 PM...or so
