bradm Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Tonight, Tuesday, May 9, Drums & Tuba make their first appearance in Ottawa in (IIRC) about three years, at Mavericks, with David Lauzon (of nero) opening up.I've been wanting to see these guys again for, well, years now. I've heard that they've started to add vocals to their music, so I'm extra-anxious to hear what they sound like now. Who else is in for this one?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Last I checked, dancingfool said he's also planning on being there tonight. (And he half-jokingly talked about taking tomorrow off to recover; those who have seen him in motion at shows may quiver in trepidation at what that implies...)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Bradm, being this is a weeknight, do you know roughly when this show will run to and from? ie, Lauzon's opening set will start when, and D&T will be done around when?AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lara Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Wish I could be there! Pretty soon we'll start considering babysitters on nights like this Anyone interested? Dave said he's playing at 9:30 so I imagine D &T will be up by 10:30/11ish. Have a great time guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I was a little unsure of what D&T would be like with vocals, but after hearing what they did last night, I think it makes them a much better band. I heard stuff that sounded like JSB at times, The Slip at other times. I'm just a bit bummed out that their show had to be cut short (at just over an hour, right at the point when the encore started) due to the weather...on the stage...

AD Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 what happened? i left after about 5 tunes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 A pipe in the ceiling above the stage broke/burst, and water started falling on the stage (which is the second time I've been there when that happened, the first time being the Sisters Euclid show last year).Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 incredible! sounds like they need a better plumber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im going home Donny Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 The Lauzonater was incredible...thanks Dave you rock it fine! I left pretty early into Drums & Tuba...my pregnacy allergies were starting to go awol and my ears kinda hurt(pretty loud beans man)...guess I missed the water madness. Super sweet night out either way for this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can-o-phish Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Nice to hear that Dave put on a great set of music...maybe bradm should work on putting up a "Lauz-O-meter" for crowd reaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_rawk Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'm with ya Phorbesie. I didn't think they were awful or anything, but it has been about 4 years for me too, and I liked the old incarnation a whole lot more.Lauzon was a lot more enjoyable than D&T last night, I thought.

They had ceiling issues AGAIN???...holy fack that is so not cool when it comes to bands getting "pissed" on. Shame on Mavericks...it was lucky for The Sisters that the water only landed on Gary's drums when they played there last year and missed Kevin & Rob's vintage gear...

AD Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 David Lauzon's set list:AutographFly >Dark Side Of The Spoon >Betty's FuneralOtherworldEverlasting Beautiful NightWith Or Without You[1][1] U2 cover.No offence to Dave or others, but I just didn't get it. It seemed like noise to me, lots of loops and ear-piercing slide guitar. Probably a bit too free-form for my tastes.Man that was a loud show last night. Maverick's should (seriously) be giving out earplugs at the door if the music is gonna be that loud. Come to think of it, that's a good idea for any club, in case people forget.2 thumbs down for the girl working the door, listening to her iPod during the shows. And for making me pay cover while letting 3 others behind me walk in for free.AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Maverick's should (seriously) be giving out earplugs at the door if the music is gonna be that loud.That has been my issue for the past 12 months and the biggest reason I dont like going there. Not that I want earplugs, but the sound is poorly set up. Not too mention this whole pipe thing again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemonkey Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I liked DT's set, and I think their new direction is great, and not really that surprising.. It was a little loud up front, but I dont mind jamming some TP in my ears to make it bearable. I really liked their old 'Spoonys and Flatheads' and 'Vinyl Killer' material, and it would've been cool to hear a few of those numbers interspersed... regardless, they are fun to watch.
