TOPIC: 3/12/2005 Austin, TX @ La Zona Rosa

Post 1 of 15
Here's the setlist not particularly in order:
Circus
TWIMTB
Me & the Skirts
Exhibit A
Blow It Out
There's a Million Ways...
Mosis Ptosis
Temporary Blues
Are You Alone?
Arcata (not sure since I had never heard this song before)
Thursday

There may have been one other song from the album I left out.

The show was awesome and I definitely think they won over a lot of fans at a sold out show. I was really surprised to hear Temporary Blues( If anyone has a copy they wanted to send my way, it would be greatly appreciated). I thought it was wierd that they played so many songs not on the album. The crowd seemed to get really into them when they opened with Circus, plus they were about 20 min. late getting the show started. They wouldn't play GSRnR despite how many times I yelled it, but I did see Matt step back and laugh when he heard me. I heard someone behind me yell for Button My Shirt, which was cool cause I wasn't the only hard core fan there. As for Kol, I'd never listened to them before, and they were ok. They follow a pretty generic rock formula and most of the songs sound the same, reminded me of Everclear. The crowd was really into them, especially the A-hole who kept pushing into people and fell on his face. I'm pretty sure he had too much valuum or something. All in all it was a good night for The Features as I had to search around for a bit just to find 2 of their 12x12's still hanging up. Now its back to the Boro, then off to the beach.

I don't know if you saw but the drummer kept yelling "No!" and eventually "Shut up."

That right there won me over. Which is great seeing as I don't like KOL.

Why all the hate for "God Save Rock & Roll"?

I don't have any hate for it. Or not yet, anyways. I just thought the drummer was funny.

Maybe because it's a cheesy cliched anthem with generic lyrics.

And I even love the added buildup they stuck in right before the second verse. A Features song amendment that I don't hate at first...it's a rare thing.

Don't feel bad, Vern- I've been told the same exact thing before, but I think it was for "action"- stick to your guns!

Does anyone know the official name of the "Are you alone" song? I noticed it was listed as "hold" on the setlist and JC once referred to it as "Hold you Alone". Why can't they just name their new songs after the lyrics as I hear them? First Arcata, now this!

Now that I'm back. I'm pretty sure the chorus to that song is "Are you alone?" and I think Matt said that before they started playing it. As far as GSRnR goes, I didn't really expect they would play, but I had also sat outside next to the pool all day, in 80 degree sun, drinking. So I don't think a shut up was going to come close to shutting me up. Anyway I think Rollum just doesn't like playing it either from being exhausted or whatever reason. Either way I don't care because the song flat out rocks. And one more thing, if you don't like the Simpsons then you probably are stupid....
