Black Kids + Mates Of State (w/Judgement Day) - 2009-04-21 - The Independent SF

 

[NOTE:  Both the co-headlining sets were shared on a certain Bittorrent site at the time, but the opening act Judgement Day had not been. ]


Black Kids
2009-04-21
The Independent
San Francisco

Co-headline date with Mates of State.  This is the second night of a two night
sojourn in SF.

taper    : lammah (aka thehappyone)
gear     : Sonic Studios DSM-6Ls > Edirol R-09HR
mastering: Adobe Audition 1.5 (hardlimit of audience clapping, normalization) >
                   CD Wave (tracksplits) > FLAC(6)

Was actually recorded as 16/44.1, normally I do 24/48 and downsample, probably reset by the firmware upgrade I just did on the Edirol.

Tracks

1:10    00 - intro music/soundchecking

3:24    01 - Listen To Your Body Tonight
4:20    02 - Partie Traumatic

3:46    12 - You Only Call Me When You're Crying
6:22    13 - Hurricane Jane

Total 54:31

"I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend" has a bit of Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order, nice touch for this old NO fan.

Probably the best recording I've ever done, was right in front, too.  No re-EQ done, anything other than keeping the audience shouts/clapping in line.

This was one of those things that didn't sound that great when you were there but sounds absolutely wonderful listening to the playback in the sunlight of daytime.  At one point, an female (probably quite inebriated) exhorted myself and my cohort to dance or something, but we refrained since we're old white guys, the kind Black Kids frown upon because they don't dance...at least that was my excuse for the erstwhile "Hurricane Jane"...

Total     57:46

Probably the second-best recording I've ever done, next to the headlining act.  No re-EQ done, anything other than keeping the audience shouts/clapping in line.

Somebody remarked they were sounding especially tight, and indeed, tomzero and I ended up enjoying watching the husband and wife team, augmented by members of the openers Judgement day on violin/viola/guitar/trombone(!)...while I like Black Kids more musically, I'd say on this night, Mates Of State put on the better show.  But another night may be different, both are worthwhile groups to check out.

"String Metal" groups would become slightly popular in the following decade, so these guys were a bit ahead of their time.  Will still need to work out track IDs for the quintet of songs that were played...


 
Bonus vid, from the previous year....
