As soon as we got there, there was some rude bitch who stood right in front of my girlfriend. Not like a little bit in front but literally within a couple inches of her face. The girl acted like she wasn't doing anything wrong and obviously was only thinking about herself. I kindly asked her to step aside and she gave me the snootiest look in the world... hahah fucking people are great.
Thank god, Holy Fuck took the stage and we started rocking. They reminded me of a math-rock electro set similar to that of Couch except much heavier and much much louder. They were definitely much more heavy on the sampling then they were the instrumentation which was a bit of a let-down. However they played well and it was enjoyable. Especially compared to the god damn fucking shitty Frog Eyes set.
Goooood fucking christ were they boring. Seriously the worst band I've seen live and will drive 400 pins into my eyeballs before having to sit through them again. I've enjoyed a couple of their albums, but nothing to the extent of really WANTING to listen to them. But live, its like listening to a dying pus-laden bird trying to throw so much emotion into the mic that you want to jump on stage and put the guy out of his misery. Not only for singing so badly but even more so for being such a fucking fraud. Seeing this band live made me hate this band more than any other band probably in existence.
The only good thing the band has going for them is Spencer Krug who is part of Wolf Parade. A much much MUCH better band. Oh and the drummer just so happens to be a red headed girl... man she was so hot.
Wolf Parade took the stage and the show was a blast. They played some favorites and played some songs that were obviously works for their next album... some of it much softer/slower and one song I even could describe as sounding like a "samurai western". (Bizarre I know.)
Definitely a good show- but was no where near the quality of their Double Door showing last year.

Heinekren I was in town for Lolla, and I stuck around for Wolf Parade and Tom Waits. I thought the show at Metro was great, and it was fun to see how they came across in the States. You Chicagoans are great people; you're everything we Canadians [i]think[/i] we are.

staticparade hey! i was there too, i disagree with the frog eyes part, but great show nonetheless. holy fuck was amazing, and wolf parade was orgytastic. thats, not a word, nor a very a good made up word, but real words don't describe how good wolf parade was!

Galanti Saw the same lineup but at the Magic Stick in Detroit. All I can saw is AMEN! Somebody else feels the same way I do abou Frog Eyes. I have never seen such crap...and that's after adding up the 300+shows I've been to. Not that they aern't musical or have promise. It's because they produce crap with it. The lead singer tries so hard that you'd like to get a shot gun and just do it for him. Put him out of his misery. They really need to rethink this whole thing.

Racheybear1984 Frog Eyes, also opened for Wolf Parade in Seattle....I think even worse then their actual musical performance, was the in-between-song banter. I actually considered heckling. What is the opposite of encore?

KidAstronaut I was at the Seattle show too and I thought Frog Eyes ruled. The crowd sucked and wouldn't give them a chance because they don't look like indie rockers, and that blows, but they made a decent show out of it anyway which I admired. Plus, the only banter they had the entire time was when the singer asked the sound guy to turn down the snare drum because they didn't get a sound check. If you didn't like the band then okay whatever, but people were talking through the set and laughing openly at them while I was trying to listen. That is shitty. Don't heckle.
-
curtico yah i don't agree with heckling- if you don't like the band then go to a different part of the place and just chill until the next band. However I must say I see Frog Eyes in a totally different light considering they are probably now the worst performance I've ever seen.

have you actually SEEN/HEARD Frog Eyes live? Their albums are decent but their live set is ATROCIOUS.
