Seattle show was frickin' amazing. never heard an electrical guitar sound like it was dying that painfully before. Kinski and Six Organs Of Admittance were both great too.
I think half the crowd were from Portland.

i'm really a big fan of the no-gap-between-songs style of mind destruction. heavy jam into free noise into heavy ham is a good recipe. with a beautiful droner for an encore.

Noise into heavy ham is always a winner.Jealous of the folks who got to see this.

There was a woman screaming "NEW. ZEALAND. ROCKS!" and demanding high fives from Bruce Russell the first half of the set. Bruce shyly laughed and gave her two of them mid set while the guitar was squalling. The crowd was totally nuts, given how non-nutsy the Dead C's music is. (I think the show sold out, but I could be wrong.). This show is all on video tape, btw. I think they're recording every show on the tour.
Also, the Dead C merch booth is heavy ham. Lots of ham.

There's a tour-only 12" LP called the Golden Canine, btw, so if you're a Dead C completist who can make the show, then ur MAKE THE SHOW.
I am listening to the Golden Canine 12" now. It is on clear wax and plays from the inside out. Siiccccck.

there were a lot of women there actually. people i work with now and used to work with when i worked @ matador, as well as a fair handful of hipstery/art student types.

really liked the nyc show but, embarrassingly, I left early bc I had to be at work early the next day. I'm lame. bummed that I missed the (apparently great) encore. what was it, anyway?
oh yeah - can anyone id what was playing between, uh, thurston's super-boring guitar duo thing and sightings and then again before dead c? it kinda sounded like a pretty heavy, extra mathy, instrumental drive like jehu.
I only own white house. gonna dig deeper sometime soon.
