I paid to see Ariel Pink. he put on a really poor show. I think anyone can see that. Excepter was just an unfortunate encounter I will SURELY avoid at all costs in the future. so fear not cutty, you wont have to read anymore posts about at least my opposing view to yours.
warning to others: be careful not to disagree with cutty. he takes is VERY personally if you don't see eye to eye with him. god forbid you exagerrate for a moment on the holy grail ILM.

hahaha, oh man.
in retrospect, i actually did like the excepter set. they are the most motley crew i have ever seen on stage. they had it all: the slacker; the Sky Masterson; the Buchenwald inmate; the patchouli fiend; "Her Sneak" shelob, last spawn of the ungoliant. they'd be a bang-up act if they wouldn't take themselves so seriously. i didn't mind that the DJ didn't face us (besides, that guy's always really nice to me when i go into OM-- i didn't know he was in the group).
the ariel pink show was just plain bad. they sounded like shit! you could tell that they knew it, too. i kind of wanted to say, "Please don't play another song until you get your shit together. We like you but you sound terrible." he probably would have obliged, too. i don't think he was trying to hoodwink us. i felt bad, though, because i think his parents were standing right in front of me.. and you're right, breezy, there was a definite vibe of, "Am I not getting this or does this suck?" i left after "wait for kate."
from where i was standing (next to the old video camera guy who used to have one huge dred but who's since cut off said one huge dred)
you were standing right next to me! i thought about yelling out, "ILXOR!!!" just to see how many of you were there, but.. that dude that used to have the one huge dread-- doesn't he sometimes play with Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey when they play in nyc?
that was R. Stevie Moore!? i don't really know his music, but isn't he, like, the original Ariel Pink? That would have been like Throbbing Gristle playing on stage with Excepter! I wanted to grab the mic every time that spider banshee came down and bumped into me and say, "What-a-day-what-a-day-what-a-day-Oh-Oh!"
Is the new Excepter CD good? I like KA.
And, for the record, I love Gang Gang Dance!

Joly, http://www.punkcast.com/ he who printed all those old pins for like, Rough Trade and The Roxy era-punk bands. A true legend and punk rock-n-roll soldier. I think he played with Hawkwind once in the 70s.

i think that adam forkner should do a double bill with ariel pink - the show (at least for philly) would last maybe a total of 15 min or so?

I saw Ariel Pink once and thought it was HILARIOUS. I'm kind of a loud laugher, this girl right in front of me kept turning around and giving me dirty "how DAREE you ruin this for me!" looks, which only made me LOL all the Ler.
― nickalicious, Monday, 31 March 2008 18:44 (fifteen years ago) link
I saw Ariel Pink live back in November, and thought he was amazing...(of course, he had a full band, with Cass McCombs on guitar)...
― henry s, Monday, 31 March 2008 18:55 (fifteen years ago) link
I like both of these bands, can you call Ariel Pink a band? I like that band and that guy.

I saw Exceptor a few weeks back in Ithaca and one of the members clearly looked pretty pregnant, at least to me and the friends I was with. Not a big deal, except her eyes looked really glazed over...it was really sad.

yeah dogg im with you. im no obsessive, but ive heard four or five albums of ariel pink stuff (all of it recorded around 99-01 i think fwiw), and i basically think it all rules. i saw him with cass mccombs in the fall, and he was great, fuck the haters
ive never seen excepter u_u but i like the hamburger song ^_^

saw ariel pink last night, they were really great. sorta ramshackle - hazy rhythms coming through like a warped cassette tape, warm and damaged. lots of reverb'd hissy vocal textures and group singing. two basses. they were selling 'doldrums' on vinyl for $40 and some tour only 'oddities' cd-r for $25 which i thought was sort of ridiculous, but whatever. bought 'doldrums' on cd, loving it. ba da ba ba ba
