Ah, the Monday night show in the [relatively] middle-of-nowhere. Bands dread it due to consistently poor turnouts, concertgoers dread it due to having to wake up the next morning for work, venue employees dread it due to the general lack of energy [and persons] in the club that night.

"Question: I thought it was pronounced (V-oh), but I've heard people like Gerard from MCR pronounce it (V-ah-ks), as in the fairly-generic electronics company Audiovox. Which is it?" scott, that was a compliment. This score is for people who leave early (without knowing for a fact that they don't like what they're missing) I'll take that as a compliment, thankyouverymuch. Scott looks like if a young Michael Moore decided to go into pro wrestling as a profession. Sweet!! i got my internet back and i still havent paid my bill! hahahaha Suckers!! Eddie- Because our city sucks and they decided to remodel the whole damn thing by building roads, closing down buildings downtown, and have contractors suing each other to build a new events center. Not a very bright thing to do. WHy is EVERYTHING under construction? Just decided to do it all over again? Des Moines always has shitty turn outs everyone fights...Much the Same can put on a really good live show Ummm...brown Dickies...green long-sleeve button-up shirt...black sweatshirt...black Chucks. I was mostly watching from the upstairs area. And I actually did end up leaving after Stuck with Arthur, but that was just because the guy I rode with was leaving. I really wanted to see Krisin Forbes--sounded like it would have been really interesting. I also missed the Ted Leo show the week before (but that was in Ames). :( You were there, Eddie? What were you wearing? Sorry, Planes Mistaken For Stars does not suck. Hey! I was at this show. Would it suprise you to know that the guys in Stuck with Arthur are good friends of mine? ;) Haha...you actually drove to Des Moines. Going at night isn't the best time due to construction. I hope you find your way out. Why the fuck doesnt anybody try and copy good bands? We already have a fucking Planes Mistaken For Stars and they already suck. We dont need a shittier version. "2. My friend, Andy lives in Iowa, was he there? Man did I feel sorry for Vaux when I saw them open for Leftover Crack. They weren't exactly what a LOC crowd was expecting. They got so much shit thrown at them and were heckled 10 times more then any band I've ever seen. I didn't think they were bad but they didn't fit in with the other bands. don't leave off the rest scott: I always thought it was pronounced just how it was written, but based on what he said from the stage last night it's simply "vox." Question: I thought it was pronounced (V-oh), but I've heard people like Gerard from MCR pronounce it (V-ah-ks), as in the fairly-generic electronics company Audiovox. Which is it? Debacle, according to Merriam Webster, means "a : a great disaster b : a complete failure". This band was both. scott, doesn't debacle mean crushing defeat? doesn't that not make sense now? aren't i an ass about a language i don't even like? I saw Vaux here in Cincinnati with AWK a while ago, and they were exactly how the reviewer described them. Totally rocking band. This review was good, but here's how I'd makeit better: I saw these guys with supporting Andrew WK in detroit a while back, and they were boring as fuck, they didn't rock out at ALL. I saw Vaux open for boysetsfire not bad, not great! Much the same were stupposed to be here in a couple of weeks with Near Miss, but the fuckin' tour was cancelled!! Anyhow, I wouldve gone for Much The Same! That 75 cent CD better be good...cause I just bought it. yeah, being near the rockford illinois area, i know all about poor turnouts, it usually kills a show Poor show turnouts always tend to ruin the 'mood.' When I saw Bear vs. Shark and Liars Academy last week there was only 10 people there. About eight stayed for Liars Academy. I just can't get into Vaux. I find their sound annoying. Then again, look at some of the crap I listen to. |
