Roll Call - 10/8/08 - D.C.!

Figured I'd get this one officially rollin. Who else is gonna be there? What do you wanna hear?

Personally, I'd love to hear Harsh Realm, that's my favorite of the new songs. Also, anything off of Disco would be sick.

I know it's not quite Baltimore, but should we try for Shit Stroll? If we chant it, it will come. Wink

Haha, I think even with all the chanting in the world, Tom still won't give in. Good luck though. I think a few other people from the board are going to this.

Don't shout Shitstroll, Don't be that guy. i requested it via myspace for Warped since Columbia's 15 minutes away from Bmore but no response ha.

i wanna hear Electronic Bay. Never heard it and they seem to be down with that one this tour.

I'm gonna be there.
I'd love to hear What We Worked For or anything off Disco.

unfortunately, i am.

i start work at the law firm on tuesday, have a 10 page paper on impressionist paintings due on thursday, and have to read two 30 page stories for my workshop on thursday night. this whole graduate school thing forces a person to prioritize a little bit.

i already bought my tix to the NY solo show. that's enough to make it OK to miss this show.

if anyone posts the setlist, i'm going to have to kill you.

Subject: Re: Roll Call - 10/8/08 - D.C.! Sun Oct 05, 2008 9:05 pm

I'm gonna ask Tom for the setlist, and post it just for you.

This was a very good show. Apparently, it was also a benefit, which is very cool.

Only saw one song of Future of the Left, sounded pretty good.

Ted Leo/RX was fuckin rockin. They played this one extended jam that was killer.

AM! was tight as usual. Energy was awesome. Good variety in the setlist. Woulda liked to have heard Mutiny or Julie, as I'd seen them on previous setlists. I shouted "GIVE IT 35 PERCENT" several times, but alas, no dice. Disco was just as good though.

Setlist (sorta in order)

Cliche Guevara
New Wave
White People For Peace
Stop!
Pints of Guinness Make You Strong
Walking Is Still Honest
Reinventing Axl Rose
Those Anarcho Punks Are Mysterious
Miami
Americans Abroad
Borne On The FM Waves of The Heart
T.S.R.
Don't Lose Touch
Thrash Unreal

(encore)

Cowards Sing at Night
The Disco Before The Breakdown
Sink, Florida, Sink
We Laugh at Danger (and Break All The Rules)

thanks for not posting the setlists, assholes.

i'm kidding obviously.

I really wanted to go, but i dont have a credit card and by the time someone actually agreed to buy them for me they were sold out,
Black cat is fuckin sick. Best club in the DC area, since 930 is fucked and all the other venues have been shut down.

Anyone meet up with them after the show? I talked to Tom on myspace and he said he didnt know when theyd be coming back to DC, but it probably wont be soon. Sad
