trent tuesday

Tuesday, 21 March 2006

its been a week. i suck. ive been busy with playing catch up at work and at home and on laundry and on the guitar.
trent tuesday was awesome. the richmond coliseum was not very big, im pretty sure there wasnt a bad seat in the house. except on the floor where the silly kids were moshing and kicking each other in the heads. we were off to the side of the stage, and walked in during saul williams opening set. i only know of one or two of this songs, and was pleasantly surprised by how good he was. he danced all around to strobe lights and programmed beats and never once missed a beat. thats a lot of words to remember and not fuck up.

trent and company took their pretty little time getting out on stage but it was totally worth it once the show started. they did the first 2 songs from behind these mesh curtain thing where a spotlight was shining on trent so you could only really see his shadow projected onto the curtain. thats one sexy shadow. the light show was really good, really complex, as was the set list. im gonna lose some cool cred for admitting this, but i only knew about 70 percent of the songs they did. they went deep into the catalog. only 3 or 4 songs off the new album. i was really hoping for some starfuckers and the fragile, and got neither. but was very pleased that they didnt shy away from the hits like hurt, head like a hole, closer, terrible lie.
the show was really dynamic in terms of the set list and tempo and mood.
and the people watching was sooooooooooooo quality.
i dont know if im as smitten as all you guys back home, but i was most definitely impressed. more than worth the 3 hour drive each way and i am absolutely sold on the idea of seeing them again when they come to raliegh in june.
and trent being short is not a problem for this five foot four gal.

the whole time i was mezmerized by the guitar playing. how do you ever get to that point. i mean i know alot of it is just noise and distortion. and the amount of stamina it takes to do 5 shows like that every week.

no cameras allowed in,so no pictures ...maybe next time.

so tired.
time for bed.
am
