minervacat at 08:32am on 10/04/2008 under media:concertsThe Weakerthans could rock my face off any day of the week, and I will never, ever, ever get tired of taking pictures of John K. Sampson's stupid little face and stupid hands on his guitar and stupid little sneakers on stage. UGH. Definitely a top-five set of this calendar year.
(So far, the top five, for the record: Truckers in Richmond, Weakerthans at the Cradle, Jason at the Berkeley, Jason in Charlottesville, RRRGLT in whole. I loved seeing the Cobras et al, it was super fantastic and well-worth all the driving, but I fully expected them to get bumped from the top five by the Truckers' two-night stand at the Cradle in May, and, hell, 2/3rds of the venues here haven't released their summer schedules, much less their fall schedules. The Year Of Rock Musics continues apace. With much rocking.)
In other news, I wouldn't trade the Triangle music scene for any other. It is genuinely delightful to see musicians I respect and enjoy just out at a show, enjoying the music and being honest fans of the people playing. John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats, for example, was in the crowd last night (bum-rushing backstage and making John K. Sampson play old songs), as was Perry, the lead singer of one of our favorite groups of local rockers, who need to put out their damn new CD before I have to start spreading totally false outrageous rumors about Perry out of boredom. Our local scene > your local scene.
