^^^ Intruders!
I went to the SK concert at Dante's in Portland last Saturday (11/5). I don't think it was sold out but there was definitely a solid crowd. Considering the last three times they've been here they've played really small venues and the turn out has been kind of weak I was happy to see them pack a bigger, more well-known venue again.
They played the exact same setlist as ^ San Fran. "Economic Crisis" is f'ing awesome live (see below). Ritsuko sang lead vocals on "Devil House" and "Sheenah Is a Punk Rocker" while Emi sang lead vocals on "I Am a Cat" and "The KKK Took My Baby Away". When they were signing my poster after the concert I told Emi it was nice to hear her sing. She thanked me and blurted out "I Am a Cat!".
I
Emi. She's adorable and so enthusiastic and a joy to watch play. I really liked Etsuko and didn't think she'd be easy to replace but Emi has totally won me over. Naoko definitely has a talent for picking girls that really fit well with the group.
I would have loved to have snagged one of those drum head but we didn't get there early enough. I saw one guy right up front that had one but never saw a second. Too bad they weren't selling some of Emi's drumsticks:
It was nice to see Atsuko out running the merch table. I had her sign her picture in the booklet of the Japanese release of
Rock Animals before the concert. I asked if she was going to play and was able to get a maybe out of her but she never did. I suppose there wouldn't have been anyone to watch the merch as DJ Sashimi seems to be back in Buffalo.
I picked up the
Osaka Ramones CD, a sticker, and a Ritsuko bass pick before the show. I was going to get the 2011 tour poster after the show to have them sign but they were sold out by then. I bought the 1995 poster with the original line-up (awesome) and grudgingly bought a 2003 tour poster that I asked Naoko to correct for me:
Stuff People Should Watch:
"Economic Crisis / Cobra vs. Mongoose" live performance from 13.09.22 @ Incubate in Tilburg, Netherlands
Turn it up! (no really, the sound is really low)
"Capybara" live performance from 10.09.12 @ Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco, CA
If the camera had ever panned down to the audience we could probably see
erilaz in this one!
