Heading into the venue for this show, I noticed something strange. The show wasn't sold out. Last time TBS played this venue, it sold out. And since then, they've gotten onto MTV and the radio, so I figured this show would be a sure sellout. Oh well, it's still cool, I only payed one dollar extra for my advance ticket (thank god the 9:30 Club works with Tickets.com instead of Ticketmaster). Please login or register to post comments.

im not going to make an account but i just want to say that i was at that show too and it was ok....all the opening bands sucked badly but tbs was great..i was there too when they were at the 9:30 club with the starting line...that show was better but tbs performance was great both times What was the line from the book, that's a real good book that I haven't read in a while Head club!!! where was head club!!!! that is one of the best songs!!! Thanks for the info. I knew there was no more bad blood, just never knew where it began. Thanks. The story is there is no feud anymore. When they were in highschool, John of TBS slept with Jesse (of Brand New)'s girlfriend. Brand New wrote "Seventy Times Seven" about it, then TBS wrote "No I In Team" as a response. Then they buried the hatchet. They've toured together, recorded together, etc, since the 'feud.' Anyone know the story behind the TBS and Brand New feud? I hope the guy two posts down is joking. I don't know from automn to ashes, but tbs is terrible. I'd just like to point out how fucking dumb FATA is: Chloroform Perfume would not work, Chloroform needs to be held against the nose (like a cloth), spraying it would be dumb. Like the band. Good thing I live in NYC where trains run 24/7 Is it just me or was the lead singer of TBS really drunk? I don't know but Recover was really awesome. I find it hard to believe that taking back sunday shit on Thrice and Coheed and Cambria. Just cuz the crowd is into one band more doesnt mean they are better then them. I have seen all these bands and TBS doesnt hold a candle to either of them. Thrice and CaC just have so much better music then these bitches that it doesnt matter how much stage presence they have. The singer from Taking Back Sunday spit in my friends face at a show in Erie PA last year. He then ran to the van and wouldnt confront the person he had just spit on. This dude is a true pussy. ok.. serious.. fata's lead singer is about as sinister as big bird, because everytime i see him he's smiling. sinister people DO NOT smile. he's a good guy though. Sweet deal....almost 1000 reads and nobodys left a comment telling me to kill myself. I must be getting better at this. FATA is not hardcore at all... From Autumn To Aids sucks. They aren't sinister. They aren't even frickin' hardcore dude. You're an idiot. taking back sunday also gets negative points because they stole a line from "a heartbreaking work of staggering genius" and didnt give dave eggers credit. kinda makes sense though since everything else they do has been done before. Is it just me or was the lead singer of TBS really drunk? I don't know but Recover was really awesome. "drugs rule everything around me fiend ,take another beer ya'll" "I have downloaded songs. It isn't that I haven't had exposure to FATA (it's kind of hard not to have heard them), it's just that I think they suck." TBS has shit on every band I've seen them play with that includes midtown, brand new, recover, FATA, breaking pangea, coheed and cambria(close), thrice, catch 22, reach the sky(also close), jimmyeat world, boxcar racer, the used. THe only band they dident shit on was Murphys law. i've never had my tires slashed but if you've ever been to emo's in Austin,TX, right by six street there are alot of homeless people there who talk some crazy shit. Just this last time i had someone come up to me and ask for money because i stole his land, and all this time i thought we bought it from a real estate person. Then another guy asking for me to buy him a 40 so he can get down with some hoes or some wacky shit like that. But the dumbest one was this one that came up and asked for a doller and was all like "just because i'm begging for money don't think i don't have a job, i'm just broke" This score is for Breaking Pangaea, the only band with actual musical ability on that show. Well Recover is kinda cool too. And to the other dude who saw the MA show, I could understand why a person who didn't know FATA beforehand would dislike their live show. But if you're into similar kinds of hardcore emo/metal bands, I'd highly recommend picking up their album or downloading a few songs. It's the kind of music where every time to you listen to it, you appreciate something new about it. Eww...Taking Back Sunday. There new video fucking sucks. Nice way to piss on a GREAT movie. did they have buttsex onstage? "Damn. I've been going to the 9:30 for 10 years now, since the days of the old 9:30....I drive every time and have NEVER had a problem." Yeah, the 930 Club is on V st and 9th, I think. It's not really a bad area in my opinion, but it's predominantly black so people think it's a bad area. Where is the new 9:30 anyway? U Street? I don't remember that area being that bad when I lived there. The old 9:30 was the greatest place to see a band, just a glorious shithole with the crankiest hipper-than-thou bar staff on earth. I saw this show last night in MA. Breaking Pangea was good. Recover was good. TBS was good. FATA, however, sucked. I wouldn't say they are "sinister;" i think of them as lame and cliché. I wasn't too thrilled to hear their set, which seemed to be one very long 40 minute song. wow. you wasted money on this lineup? as for who's fault that 800 kids missed the last metro ride, don't look at anyone else but the stupid fools who didn't prepare ahead of time and didn't check the time. every time i go to 930, when 11:30 hits, i'm out of there. that must have been quite the scene. 800 white kids out in the "hood" crying and trying desperately to find a way out of there before the scary black people start robbing them. hilarious. Damn. I've been going to the 9:30 for 10 years now, since the days of the old 9:30....I drive every time and have NEVER had a problem. I wanted to go to this show rather badly, I'm pissed off that I missed it as it sounds like it was good. That's the problem with the 9:30 Club though, if you want to stay to the very end you can't count on getting to the Metro in time, but on two occasions where I've driven, I've had my tires slashed. Fixed it. Oops. I just realized that I didn't give a rating to this show, so it's listed as 5 stars by default. If I had realized in time, I would have given it 3.5 stars, or 7 out of 10. good show. i only got to see FATA and TBS but both of them put on a great show esp TBS. and if anyone wanted to know, they did sell out the electric factory and that is a decent sized place to sell out esp. since they played the troc. the last time they were in philly. yeah they were good at sports plus, decent length set that resembled the list here apparently. breaking pangea is eh and from autumn to ashes is terribly overrated, when all you do is scream the songs in incomprehensible and in turn just bad. i have to sit thru them when i see finch and a static lullaby. that would be cool if i could sell a fifth of my ticket and have someone else see them for me. to the anonymous guy 2 posts down: Meh. I wonder if they could fit any more cliche, derivative, and trite bands onto one bill. What a horrible evening of music. |
