Del Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Those guys kick my ass every time I see them, and as I sit here and chill, listening to their show from The Rivoli this past August (08-16-03), I realize that I really do miss seeing them live. It's too bad the kids out west don't know how lucky they are, these guys bring so much energy to the stage, and Melissa has such an amazing voice... I hope they swing back out here in the spring. I'm thinking a week long Wassabi tour... Anyone have any Wassabi shows they'd like to trade? Too bad the CTMF from Izzy's wasn't taped. Sickness...

weezy Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 I just saw Wassabi 2 nights ago here in Vasncouver. I was curious to see what they were like without Jeremy (I saw them shortly after the marimba's left as well) They no longer have the world-beat rhythm vibe - it's waaay more hippy-trance and reggae mostly due to the new guitarist, who has kinda hijacked the band. He's from a band called Cube, an electronica/trance style band from somewhere out west here. He is an awesome guitarist (I really enjoyed his style) but their sound is not as accessible as it was with the marimbas and Jeremy on guitar. Overall, they are still an amazing band with amazing energy and huge talent (Melissa), although the sex-cult vibe is still there and still irritating. (amongst some of the fans as well - I saw a guy sit in-front-of one of the hippy-crystals at the front of the stage and pray to it for the entire intermission - it was unnerving) PS: BOOO to the $10 cover charge for Wassabi at the Piccadilly on a Thursday - no wonder the bar was empty.

secondtube Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 that is a band that epitomises (sp) the "each to their own" phrase. after seeing S&NFTT, that is a band i'd see about 100 times more often than wassabi if i lived out west. same with threat from outer space, they impressed me a little more than wassabi.

AdamH Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Thus proving the theory that when the coke runs out... This band sucks. No need to articulate my aregument, they just don't do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemonkey Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 great theory ahess! Can't wait to come out and see your alt-country act when it finally gets off the ground.

AdamH Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I lost my Data Cable hat and I'm sad. It's blue mesh. If anyone has seen it I'll give you 100 000 Turkish Lira for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
