The Privates, De Novo Dahl, Slack @ The Exit/In: Sunday, Oct. 5, 9:30 or so

Apparantly there will be free spaghetti available to the earliest people who show up to this concert, as well as a raffle with prizes. This is also a fundraiser for the upcoming Slack tour. I wasn't going to come, but free spaghetti? Come on, honestly, I'm there. FYI: If you've yet to see the Privates, do yourself a favor and go to this show. It should already be apparent that DND and Slack alone are worth it.

Actually it is an early show. First band is at 8:00 PM.

Wow, That's good to know.

Hmmmm...if it's an early show, then I can consider it, but Sunday is a hard day for us workin' folk to make.

i've got your privates

right here

Hey, that hurts! Give 'em back!

Sweet. So, if I show up at 9, do you think I'll miss any of De Novo Dahl?

shhh, don't tell anyone, but the drummer of the privates will be celebrating his birthday that night.

drummers are getting older all over the place

the food at the show is first come first serve while supplies last

go titans

Is it a rule now that De Novo Dahl only plays when someone really cool is having a birthday?

Obviously not, they played for your birthday.

Spagetti? Now I have to make it.

Yeah, I know. I love italan food.

Slack is one of the most overrated bands in the nashville area.

I'm not sure you're allowed to say that here.

its an open forum

...for getting your ass beat

why should i be afraid of some drunk foreign chick? ive seen you at shows (not just features shows) and i must say that i am not impressed with your antics.

And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust

sina's all talk and no action (of the fighting kind not the sexual kind)

FYI Everybody: Doors & Spaghetti are at 8pm, Privates at 9pm, DND around 10pm, Slack around 11pm.

Don't know the details of the Rock-n-Roll Raffle, Slack is in charge of that.

Okay, I take it back, I'm NOT a fan of the VegetableMan.

I've never really considered Slack to be that highly rated, so I'm not sure if they could be considered "overrated". But I'll just asume you and I are from different eras or locations. Either way, I say the exact opposite. Too many people are unaware of the awesomeness that is Slack. Plus, they're not pretensious (sp?) assholes, which goes a long way in my book.

we are from different areas. i've seen slack 4 times and each time was not impressed. ive heard so many people go on and on about how slack is the next big thing, and i must disagree. this is an open forum, remember?

Yeah, I know. That's why I offered my opinion instead of giving the traditional Sina arguement (Slack Rules and you're a fucking dumbass).

stopforme, i'm in!!!!! i've always wanted to be foreign. can we be twins?!?!?! bff?!?!?!!

anyway, veggie
are you saying you follow me around? dammit, are you another one of those people who want my autograph. if you have the balls to approach me at the show tonight, my autograph you shall have.

and just for kicks, name 2 shows you've seen me at.

so you're paying too much attention, yet not enough

you should know that it is ridiculous for you to come here saying i'm "all talk and no action" to a group of people who for the most part have - how should i put it - physically tolerated me


battletapes! is that you?!?!?!?!!

VegetableMan, welcome. It's nice to have someone new stirring up shit. I do disagree with most everything you have said though.

Slack- If anything, I think they are underrated. They are one of the tightest, catchiest bands I've seen and I respect them even more considering how long they have been doing it and how nice of guys they are. I think they deserve all the attention they are finally getting.

Sina- I can remember at least two incidents of being punched, and one of being burned with a cigarette. I wouldn't bade her on. Also, why would you insult someone on their race/nationality?

I'm not getting involved in this argument except to say, sometimes, sina is a bit over the edge at shows. But we all need attention every once in awhile i guess. Some people just have more positive ways about how to get that attention.

why does my race ALWAYS have to come up?
sina and i are siamese twins. get over it!
i think slack is overrated on this messageboard.
italian food is not overrated.
being asian is underrated.
vegetables are definitely underrated.
i love food!

So let me get this straight...you don't like Slack, but you think that the Strokes are the best thing since sliced bread? And you've disrespected Carl and Sina?

Of course it's an open forum, and you can say whatever you want, but you're well on your way to being filed under "irrelevant."

Wait, I thought Me, Sina, and Lauren were triplets!?! How does that work exactly?

off the top of my head:

interpol
spoon at the WRVU show
many features shows

ouch

(Edited by richarddawson at 2:09 pm on Oct. 2, 2003)

too much excitement on the message board today

What the hell is that supposed to mean? You want some, chump?

i never said that. i was just pointing out an obvious trend that has come across this country. my roomate has dragged me to many slack shows and i just dont like them. fair enough?

(puts up dukes)

Whoa, people across the country are digging on Slack? That's awesome! I had no idea. Must have been the Banger Sisters soundtrack. (hahaha)

For the record, I have no beef with someone saying they don't like a band. I do, however, have a beef with someone saying that a very talented, underappreciated (merely my humble opinion), hardworking, modest, and super-nice band is overrated.

and hott

am i winning points with ben*slack, yet?

I don't see the difference at all.

A band must have a sufficient level of appreciation to be considered "overrated". Overrated doesn't necessarily mean a band sucks, it means a band isn't worth the hype. I don't really see Slack getting that much hype (anywhere but here or possibly on my website).

Now do you see the difference?

Okay...I see the difference between the two comments. Where I still don't see a difference is that you have a beef with one comment and not the other.

Eurasian quadruplets.

Oh, I see. Obviously you're the one who got all the brains.

this thread died, but the show is today, so i revived it. come to the show. eat joel's spaghetti.

Once again, nobody cares about this overrated show.

yes, you are nobody.

and hey, you've moved up from not liking slack to not liking slack, de novo dahl, and the privates.

Is that VegetableMAN or someone new with almost the same name and the same avatar? Did you forget your password or something and have to change your screenname?

For once, I agree with Sina on something...

this is someone different. there was no lapse in memory on my part as far as passwords are concerned. this is probably just a devotee; probably Sina herself. i enjoy de novo dahl and are intrigued by the privates. i still do not care for slack, though.

you should never jump to conclusions

i wouldnt call this show overrated, veggieX2.

You am? I are too.

GENIUS!

um yeah

you caught me, scooby. here's your dog treat.

i mean, we all know my life is boring and i have nothing better to do than try and trick message board members into thinking you and vmen are the same person. you so got me.

for the once i wanted to be the person to cause a little controversy and drama here. i'm sorry everyone. what can i do to make everyone forgive me?!?!?!?!

man, you're stupid

I didn't jump to conclusions - I ASKED if it was the same person since the screen names were one letter apart, the avatars were the same, you both are newbies and you both said you thought Slack/the show tonight were overrated.

I really doubt that it's Sina.

So...you left it to be implied that the "show" is overrated. Yet, we shouldn't jump to conclusions when you say the "show is overrated" and not just "Slack is overrated." Dumbass.

one was vegetableman, one was vegetablemen.

Hmm, my fault then. That's silly, though.

I'm very sick right now. I've been vomiting. Unless I get better soon, I won't be able to go tonight.

It's a good thing that you champed it out and did make to part of the show. I can't say a bad thing about any of the three bands tonight. The Privates are really good and I love their post-punk music. De Novo Dahl played one of the more flawless sets that I've ever seen them play. It was really great that they played their full set. Very good show. And, even though it was only my second Slack show, I still enjoyed it like I had been listening to them for years. I'm about to listen to my old-school Slack cassette. Excellent, excellent show and I'm shocked that there weren't more people there.

Goes to show you how overrated they are.



The amount of peole at Slack shows is always directly proportional to the amount of promotion the boys do. They didn't promote this one too heavily, so it was a smaller crowd. Of course, it doesn't help that it was a sunday night.

i really enjoyed this show as well. the privates were very pleasing to my ears. i look forward to hearing more from them. i found my love for de novo dahl last night. it is the first time i've been able to hear them in a venue where i actually could hear them. i'm definitely picking up an ep at the next show. didn't get to stay for slack due to my having to be up at 5 this morning. but, overall, an enjoyable night.

glad you could finally "hear" us HSS. sorry about the times you couldn't.

the privates rocked me long into the night. they were great, and i hope they get to play often.

slack ruled as usual. the reading of the back of the contra box was absolutely classic, and i will never forget it.

how'd everyone like the sketti?

it was so good.

we're talking about the show, uglyapeman

why you gotta be so dirrty?
