07/19/2008 Krockathon 13: Seether, Shinedown, Sick Puppies, 12 Stones, Luna Halo, Black Stone Cherry, Safetysuit (Weedsport, NY @ Cayuga County Fairgrounds)
By Woopop | July 19, 2008 11:10 pm
[Three Days Grace actually headlined this, but I wasn't about to stick around for them.]
The infamous KRockathon. Year after year, this brings out the best and brightest that Syracuse and Utica have to offer, and I don’t mean the bands. Much like any festival or carnival, you wonder what hole a lot of these people crawled out of. And since it’s hot, and there’s alcohol involved, they end up wearing far less clothes than they should, and start way more fights. Anyway, the sideshow notwithstanding, there was music to be heard! I left the house at 10, got there by 11:15, got in line and was in the park by 11:45. Milled around and found a spot reasonably up front. Safetysuit went on at 12:30, and they were alright. I’d never heard of them before, I probably won’t bother to check them out now either, but they were passable as openers. They just sounded like every other generic post-grunge-lite band out there, which is to say they captured my attention for a half hour.
Next was one of the bands I really wanted to see, Black Stone Cherry. The four dudes from Kentucky ripped through their half-hour set with a ton of intensity, and had the crowd going nuts with their hard rocking, the wild solos, and the couple songs that had gotten radio airplay. While entirely too short (why didn’t they get 45 minutes instead of Sick Puppies or 12 Stones? Anyone?), they did mangage to fit in Rain Wizard, Backwoods Gold, Blind Man, Hell and High Water, Lonely Train, Maybe Someday (just as the rain stared to come down), and closed with a crazy take on Jimi Hendrix’s Voodoo Chile, which included lead singer/guitarist Chris Robertson coming down into the security pit, right up to the crowd to play the guitar behind his head. At one point the other band members were joining him in the behind-the-head maneuver, which looked pretty awesome.
After their set, I escaped to the FYE booth and bought the BSC CD, which put me in the express line for the autograph tent. Finally used that one to my advantage! So I got the CD and a small poster signed, and then foraged for some food while Luna Halo was on.
While I freely admit I wasn’t paying too much attention to them, Luna Halo didn’t sound all that interesting to me. I caught a seat in the grandstand for 12 Stones, as I know a couple of their tunes, and I wasn’t terribly impressed with them either. The lead singer had a I-wanna-be-Jacoby-Shaddix (from Papa Roach) thing going on, as far as his running around the stage and trying to jack the crowd up, and he tried every lame rock gimmick he could think of on the crowd, including one of the worst “wall of death” attempts I’ve ever seen. The band sounded okay, but the singer couldn’t really sing, the songs I knew didn’t sound that great, and the ones I didn’t know weren’t performed in any manner where I’d want to check them out. Off to the left side beer stand, and that was my spot for most of Sick Puppies, who I’d seen before (opening for Finger Eleven). They were okay, the crowd was eating them up, but I’m still not convinced they deserved a 45 minute slot. Just like last year, they’re competent at what they do, but I don’t feel like anything sets them apart. They did the Say My Name/Brain Stew mash-up again.
Time for Shinedown. I made my way into the back center of the “floor”, and had a pretty good vantage point, and pretty decent people around me. The guys came out, and launched into Devour, and from there had a nice high and low flow to the set. Lead singer Brent Smith sounded good, was hitting notes, and the band sounded good too. Brent sold out far less notes this time around. They played Devour, Heroes, Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide, I Dare You (dedicated to the troops), Cry For Help, If You Only Knew (about Brent’s fiancee), Left Out, Burning Bright, The Sound Of Madness, Save Me, 45, and the set closed with Fly From The Inside. Hearing the whole crowd sing along with 45 was pretty cool, and pretty much the whole place was into their set.
I wandered up closer through the mass of people to get about 5 rows back from the front, on the left side (stage right) for Seether. Again, I was around some pretty cool people, and once the band started everyone was in tune to the crowd surfers going overhead and acting accordingly, so there weren’t any surprises as far as people landing on someones head. Always a good thing! Seether picked up Troy McLawhorn (of Doubledrive and Dark New Day fame) as 2nd guitarist, so it was nice to see him rockin out with the guys. The set was surprisingly very sparse on songs from the new “Finding Beauty…” album, thus being slanted more towards the first two discs. They did a lot of improvising within the songs, and even managed to make Fine Again sound somewhat new, with a couple of different wrinkles in the performance. They seemed to be having a ton of fun up on stage also, laughing and joking around while doing their thing. The band opened with Because Of You, and again, the order is probably screwed up, but they also played Rise Above This, Truth, Needles, Fine Again, Gasoline, Burrito, Broken (acoustically) Fake It, and Remedy. I was very happy with their performance, and I’m glad I’m seeing them later in the week in Buffalo, with them headlining, so hopefully we’ll get more new songs this time out.
Regardless, I had a good time, and was able to get out of the place with no delay, thanks to the majority of people staying for Three Days Grace. One change into dry clothes later, I was on the road back home. Another fun and successful KRockathon!

A Good Night and A Busy Week Ahead
By Woopop | July 18, 2008 11:00 am
Last night was a damn good night. At Roller Hockey, we finally won a game! We’ve improved our record to 1-6 with a 12-9 win, and I scored my first goal of the season! So we won, one of the guys brought a 12 pack, so we all had a beer in the locker room, and that was cool too. Then I got home and watched the Mets make a Top-of-the-9th four run rally to beat the Reds. Damn cool.
But this Saturday starts silly season. Well, as far as concerts anyway. Through the end of the month, check this schedule out:
Tomorrow, July 19 – KRockathon: 3 Days Grace, Seether, Shinedown, Black Stone Cherry, among others @ Cayuga County Fairgrounds
Tuesday July 22 – Eric Hutchinson @ The Tralf
Thursday July 24 – Seether @ Town Ballroom (and I’ll probably get down there early to catch More Than Me @ Thursday In The Square)
Friday July 25 – 3 Doors Down, Staind, Hinder @ Darien Lake
Saturday July 26 – Godsmack, Sevendust, Alter Bridge, etc @ Darien Lake
5 shows in 8 days! I can’t wait. I love when they come in bunches, especially 3 shows in 3 days. That’s happened twice before to me: May of 2001 (where all three involved Econoline Crush), and then March of 2001 I had 3 in a row. As far as other clusters, August of 2007 had 4 shows in 9 days, July of 2001 had 4 shows in 5 days (including 2 in one day!). When it rains it pours I guess! Naturally, that doesn’t count what’s going on in August!
RAWK!

06/26/2008 Mike Doughty, Scott Celani, Kevin McCarthy (Buffalo, NY @ Thursday In The Square)
By Woopop | June 26, 2008 11:51 pm
Matt and I journeyed down the Thruway on this fine evening, meeting Adam at the Square. Martin Sexton was supposed to the headliner, but due to what was termed a family emergency, he cancelled. Therefore, the man we wanted to see, Mike Doughty, went from opener to headliner! Honestly, we didn’t watch the other two openers at all, as we spent that time getting food and beer. But we certainly paid attention once Mike and “Scrap” Livingston (billed as “The Mike Doughty Duo) took the stage. Scrap is Mike’s usual bass player, but on this night, he had an electric guitar while Doughty rocked an acoustic. Just about everyone stuck around to watch, and we met up with some familiar people ourselves, as Adam’s landlady and her crew hung out with us, and by random chance I ended up next to Ryan from More Than Me (who recognized me first, I might add) and his crew. Needless to say, a good time was had by all! Since I’m a schmuck and blew away the setlist I had typed into my phone (Rule 1: Send it to yourself when you’re done!), I stole the list from setlist.fm: Grey Ghost, Madeline and Nine, Circles, Unsingable Name, I Hear the Bells, Janine, I Just Want the Girl In the Blue Dress to Keep on Dancing, Sunken-Eyed Girl, True Dreams of Wichita, Looks, Busting Up a Starbucks, The Only Answer, Rising Sign, Fort Hood, Put It Down, Soft Serve, The Gambler (Kenny Rogers Cover). Encore: Firetruck (“Written by a 4-year old!”), 27 Jennifers, Looking at the World From the Bottom of a Well.
As per usual, Mike had the crowd laughing the whole time with the witty banter in-between songs, seemed genuinely happy to be playing (hell, he got to headline!), and sounded great. I had a great time, I know Matt and Adam did, and the rest of the crowd seemed to as well.

06/01/2008 Ashes Divide (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
By Woopop | June 4, 2008 11:46 am
I raced over to Water Street after my roller hockey game, and completely missed Inner Party System, the opener. Sara said they were pretty decent. Anyway, I got there as they were doing the final prep for Ashes Divide’s set, and I really only had to wait about 10 minutes. The band came out, and launched into Sword. Billy Howerdel didn’t really talk much, only pausing between songs to say thanks, and at one point he mentioned that they’d be back in the area as part of the main stage of Projekt Revolution. They ran through the entire album, plus a wild cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” that neither Sara nor I recognized until they got to the chorus. Easily one of the most rockin’ Fleetwood Mac covers I’ve ever heard. Maybe they’ll release that somewhere! Anyway, the band sounded terrific, the songs were true to the album versions without being carbon copies, and despite not talking much, Billy seemed to be happy playing his songs for the 100 or so people that were there. After the set was finished, Billy came to the back merch table and signed everybody’s stuff. I snagged a setlist from the soundboard, so I had him sign that along with the CD cover. Sara mentioned to him that it had been 8 years since we first saw him (as a member of APC, at the 4/28/2000 NIN Toronto show) and that we couldn’t believe it had been that long. He was pretty gracious about the whole thing, and I came away liking the album that much more after seeing it performed live. A great Sunday night show. Setlist: Sword, Enemies, Too Late, Ritual, Stripped Away, A Wish, Forever Can Be, The Prey, Defamed, Denial Waits, The Chain (Fleetwood Mac cover), The Stone.

03/13/2008 Mike Doughty, The Panderers (Rochester, NY @ The German House)
By Woopop | March 13, 2008 11:59 pm
Matt and I ventured to the The German House, which is a venue I’d never been to. It’s as nice as the Harro East ballroom, but about half the size. Real nice place, and a perfect venue for someone like Doughty. The first act on, that we missed most of, didn’t have a name, and seemed to be members of Doughty’s band (and maybe himself too) dressed in disguise and making a lot of noise, without much music. Somewhat interesting. The real openers were a band Mike has just signed to his new label, and they’re called The Panderers. The name didn’t fit, only because they didn’t pander to anyone! They’re a three piece (two of the guys also played with Mike), and it’s real stripped-down indie rock. Neat stuff, good groove, fun enough to listen to. I enjoyed them.
The cool thing about this show is that it was being taped for a future episode of WXXI’s “OnStage”, so hopefully we’ll see this on TV sometime soon (looking at their schedule, I’m guess June at the earliest!). Mike and the band came out, and ran through an hour and a half of his brand of rock-n-roll. Considering I’m not at all familiar with his new album, and don’t even have the older stuff down much, he’s such a great performer that it didn’t matter. Head-bopping, toe-tapping music all night, the vast majority was from the new Golden Delicious album, but a fair amount from his older stuff, including some Soul Coughing. It’s hard to describe other than a great show! At one point, he picked up a sampler, and started riffing on that, much like a DJ, for the song “More Bacon Than The Pan Can Handle” (of which they were also selling shirts adorned with that slogan!). It was pretty neat to see the electronics merged with the relative simplicity of the rest of the music. Matt and I definitely enjoyed ourselves, and I think I like Doughty even more now, after having seen this show, than I did before.
There’s no way this is in order, but here’s what I’m pretty sure got played: Fort Hood, Put It Down, More Bacon…, 27 Jennifers, I Wrote A Song About Your Car, Navigating By The Stars At Night, …Bottom Of A Well, Busting Up A Starbucks, I Hear The Bells, Grey Ghost, Down On The River…, Ossining, Move On, Circles (SC), Sleepless/Soft Serve (SC), Is Chicago (SC), Janine (SC), plus a little cover medley of Lola (The Kinks), Paradise City (GNR), and then into his cover of The Gambler (Kenny Rogers), which was awesome!!

03/07/2008 The Dreaming, Shelflyfe (Rochester, NY @ The Club At Water Street)
By Woopop | March 7, 2008 11:59 pm
This one started later than usual (10pm doors for a 10:30 start), and I walked in just as Shelflyfe was getting ready to go on. They’re a local band, and they weren’t too bad, a four piece rock band that uses a sampler, and uses it well. The songs were kinda catchy, but the singer had a cold, so between that and how low he was in the mix, it was hard to hear him. The rest of the band sounded pretty decent though.
But the whole reason for going was The Dreaming. They’re a five-piece techno-tinged rock band that could be described as what lead singer Chris Hall did after Stabbing Westward. Which should tell you what they sound like. They also feature drummer Johnny Haro (Econoline Crush) and guitarist Carlton (Deadsy). The band has actually been around for awhile, but finally got a full-length CD out at the beginning of the year. After setting up their own stuff, they kicked right into things, and over the course of the night, played just about everything off the album, and for an encore, did a cover of Stabbing Westward’s “Save Yourself”. Not that I had any doubt, but the band sounded excellent, Chris’ singing was right on, powerful, and the band was into the show, as was the majority of the crowd. And for $10, it was a bargain.
There were about 100-150 people there, and a good number were at least familiar with the band, if not all the songs. At the risk of sounding old, it was quite humorous to see the younger kids right at the front that had never heard “Save Yourself”, while all the older people (there were more of us, for sure) rocked out. Chris Hall was a pretty chatty frontman for someone that sounds so depressed in his music! He was cracking jokes and talking with the crowd all night, posing for pictures and the like. I picked up a CD and got an autograph from Johnny, and called it a night.

02/16/2008 Will Hoge, Dawn Landes (Buffalo, NY @ The Tralf)
By Woopop | February 16, 2008 11:59 pm
(Jason Isbell was also on the bill, but we didn’t stay for him.)
Tiffany was giddy with anticipation for this one, since this show was at the Tralf, we’d be a lot closer than we were in Ithaca, and with what we assumed (correctly) would be a more respectful crowd. We got inside and found a table pretty much front and center to the stage, and after a snack and some refreshments, Dawn Landes and her band started. I’m sure she’s very talented, and good at what she does, but folk/indie rock is just not for me. However, her half hour set was entertaining and engaging, and we certainly enjoyed it. But we were here for one reason only, and that was Will Hoge. He and the band appeared on stage right at 9pm, and launched into “These Were The Days” to warm approval from the crowd. They slowed it down a touch with “Someone Else’s Baby”, and from there my order is not entirely correct, but a string of up-tempo numbers followed, including “Rock ‘N Roll Star” (which I hadn’t seen live yet!), and then “Wait Till Your Daddy Gets Home”, which featured an extended jam session in the middle that was just incredible. I think “Secondhand Heart” was next, which prompted some of the more inebriated members of the audience to get up and start dancing. Right in front of us, but hey, we could still see, and they were showing Will way more love than the Ithaca crowd did. They decided to keep everyone up and moving with “Sex, Lies and Money” before slowing down to “I’m Sorry Now”. He pretty much had the crowd in his hands by this point, and the band finished strong with “The Highway’s Home”, “Midnight Parade”, and if I’m not mistaken, the closer was “July Moon”. There was a very enthusiastic response from most everyone in attendance, which was great to see. After the stage was torn down, Will and guitar player Adam Fluhrer came back to the merch booth and we chatted with them for a minute or two, thanking them for coming back to Buffalo, and Tiff mentioned to Will that she saw him in this venue roughly four years ago, acoustic with Edwin McCain, to which Will exclaimed “Ya know, I had totally forgotten about that until we walked in today, and I was like ‘I’ve played here before!!’” So they mutually got a kick out of that story, and we said goodbye and thanks again before bouncing back to Rochester. A much better crowd experience this time around!!

02/05/2008 Eric Hutchinson, Jared Campbell (Rochester, NY @ High Fidelity)
By Woopop | February 5, 2008 11:59 pm
Thanks to Matt alerting us to this show two days before it happened, how I was asleep at the wheel I’ll never know! Anyway, Tiff and I headed down to what used to be Milestones to check out two singer-songwriters that’d we seen before at different times. The opener, Jared Campbell, we saw back in 2003 in Harrisburg opening for Sister Hazel, and at that point he did a lot of covers and jokey kinda-stuff. Not so much anymore! He’s definitely come into his own as a songwriter and a performer, and his original music is quite good. As he played this show acoustically, by himself, the songs are in the pop/indie/light rock vein, but he’s got some groove to go with it. He certainly had the small but faithful crowd (probably 75-100 people) with him by the end of the set. After his 45 minutes were up, it was time for Hutch! He invited everyone to get closer to the stage, and opened by himself on keyboards with “You’ve Got You”. After this, he introduced his drummer and bass player, and continued on with “Food Chain”. After this, I don’t remember the order, but they played everything off of “Sounds Like This”, plus “Breakdown More”, and a mashup cover of “My Girl” spliced with R. Kelly’s “Ignition”, and then he encouraged all of us to try and decipher the words to UB40′s “Red Red Wine”. The “encore” consisted of “Rock and Roll” and “OK, It’s Alright With Me”. Eric was interacting with the crowd in his deadpan way all night, alternating between the keyboard and his acoustic guitar, sometimes with the band, sometimes without. The highlight of his set was a rollicking take on “You Don’t Have To Believe Me”, which the crowd ate up. There were certainly more than a couple of Hutchheads in the audience, which made for an even better evening.
After the show, we picked up the three Jared Campbell CD’s, and had him sign them for us. We mentioned that we saw him open for Sister Hazel back in ’03, and after being surprised we were at that show, he relayed a story about how he was really excited to meet and be opening for Hazel, and how he received some encouraging words from lead singer Ken Block. We also caught up with Hutch, thanked him for coming to Rochester, and said we wanted to see him up here again. We had a great time at the show and look forward to seeing these guys again.

01/31/2008 Killswitch Engage, Every Time I Die, The Dillinger Escape Plan (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
By Woopop | January 31, 2008 11:59 pm
(Parkway Drive was also on this bill, but we completely missed their set.)
My first show of the new year! Adam and I got to Water St. around 7:30, expecting to walk right in (doors were supposedly 6:30), but we ended up waiting outside for about 15 minutes. What’s up with that?!?! We got in as the stage was being set up for Dillinger Escape Plan. Their set was okay, but it seemed to me that the songs don’t really have a hell of a lot of structure or direction. No real melody either. I’m sure for those that are into it, they were great, and they seemed to have a lot of energy up on the stage, but it’s not for me. Next up were my _real_ hometown boys, Every Time I Die. All of the guys are from North Tonawanda, and guitarist Andy Williams was actually in my graduating class in high school (I didn’t really know him though, so no rock star connection there!). Regardless, their set and music was what I think Dillinger was going for, but missed. ETID had the crowd going nuts, and put on a really great show. I’m only kinda familiar with the songs, but I certainly enjoyed watching them. They looked like they were having a blast up there themselves, and it made for a fast paced 40 minute set. Adam and I were on the edge of the pit when their set started, and naturally the floorpunchers and spin-kick artists were in attendance. Some unfortunate girl was on the wrong end of an elbow or an arm, and was holding her head in her hands trying to get out of the pit. I was closest, so being the benevolent concert attendee I am, I swung her around out of the pit so she didn’t get clocked again. Adam and I retreated to the bar for the rest of the ETID set, and then returned to our original spot when they were done. As we returned, the girl I pulled out of the pit came back and actually thanked me for doing so! I thought that was pretty cool, and then a couple minutes later, for my ego trip of the night, she came back again and wanted to know if I was single and could she get my number! Alas, all she got was a look at the wedding ring, but hey, I’m flattered. (Of course, Tiff said “Yeah, she only hit on you because she was still woozy from the blow to the head!”).
All this aside, time for Killswitch!! They came out to the Price Is Right theme song, with each band member being implored to “Come On Down!”. Typical goofy KsE! They opened with Daylight Dies, followed by Unbroken. The crowd was into it immediately, much more so than the Niagara Falls show last year. In fact, this whole show was better this time around. The set continued with Take This Oath and Arms Of Sorrow, with various Adam D rants in-between. Next was Breathe Life and my personal favorite, This Fire Burns. Rose of Sharyn, Still Beats Your Name, Fixation on the Darkness, and My Curse came next, with more banter. The set rocked on with Desperate Times, A Bid Farewell, This Is Absolution, and then the main set was closed out with The End Of Heartache. Adam and I took this opportunity before the encore to move up right into the thick of things on the floor, much closer to the stage. The boys came back out, and opened the encore with My Last Serenade. Then for the final number, the floor shook as everyone started jumping in unison to Holy Diver. A great end to a great set, a great show, and one hell of a lot of fun. Grasshopper Adam has learned well from the master, as he staked out the soundboard for the KsE setlist after the show, and was successful!

11/18/2007 Will Hoge (Ithaca, NY @ The State Theater)
By Woopop | November 18, 2007 11:59 pm
Tiffany swung by and picked me up from work (an odd Sunday I filled in) and we trekked down Rt 89 to Ithaca. Will was part of a double-bill with the Avett Brothers, and he was on first. Our seats were about 15 rows back, literally in the middle of the ground floor. The state theater was reminiscent of the Riviera in NT, but a little smaller. Anyway, Will started at about 7:45, and eased everyone into it with Someone Else’s Baby, starting with just him and a female violinist/singer, before the rest of the band joined him. These Were The Days was next, and thus began the ebb and flow of the set, mixing slower songs with the rockers. I can’t remember the order exactly, but the meat of the set consisted of When I Can Afford To Lose, Sliver Or Gold, Hearts Are Gonna Roll, Wait Till Your Daddy Gets Home, I’m Sorry Now, The Highway’s Home, and Sex Lies and Money. The closer was another down-tempo, Lover Tonight, with just him, the violin, and the organ. He closed the song by singing sans-microphone, just belting it out, before backing off the stage, still singing. The set was a bit heavy on the slower numbers, and consisting of mainly songs from the last two albums, but that certainly didn’t detract from how great the set was. Just like the Buffalo show, the musicianship was excellent, and Will’s voice was spot-on.
The only thing wrong with the show? The crowd. I’ve always been told that Ithaca is a haven for cultural people, it’s all about the art and the music, etc. BULLSHIT. It’s obviously not about the respect for the artist up on stage, because the amount of people talking throughout the entire set was nothing short of obnoxious. I realize not everyone sits at rapt attention, hell, I’ve done it myself, but at *club shows*, not in a theater, where you can, heaven forbid, GO OUT IN THE %@#$%$# LOBBY AND TALK. It was bad enough during the quieter songs, but one could hear all kinds of talking over the rocking songs too! The big mistake was having a bar available at the rear of the seating area, where everyone congregated, and of course, had to be heard over the band on stage. It was brutal, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard that level of conversation at a show, ever. I’ve been to free festival shows with less talking. Seriously. We mentioned this to one of the ushers after the set, who referred us to the head usher, both of which genuinely acted concerned and equally horrified at the noise level. I’m guessing we weren’t the only ones who complained. However, when I mentioned it to the “promoter”, or at least, the guy who introduced the band on the stage (and apparently runs the Grassroots Festival), he acted as if he could care less, was quite condescending, and generally was indifferent. So much so, that he felt compelled to tell me that “you really won’t notice it with the next band, because they’ll be louder”. Okay, so explain A) why we could hear talking during Will Hoge’s loud songs (which got pretty loud), and B) how that in any way whatsoever excuses it from occuring in the first place? I got a little melodramatic, but I asked how that was supposed to make up for the talking during the performance I just saw?? He didn’t really have an answer for that. So much for supporting the arts. We have no idea how good or bad it was for the Avett Brothers, as we left before they came on. For their sake, I hope everyone was there for them, and kept their mouths shut. So yay for Will Hoge, but boo to the “cultured” Ithacan’s that couldn’t shut up.
