Becky and I saw TMBG last night at Bimbo’s. What a great show. Just wholesome, clean, nerd rock. Corn Mo opened for them, he’s this sort of cross between Wesley Willis and Mitch Hedburg but less crazy and with an accordion. He’s awesome.
In roughly the order they played them in:
Dead
Istanbul (not Constantinople)
New York City
Experimental Film
Alphabet of Nations
Damn Good Times
Stalk of Wheat
Clap Your Hands
Memo to Human Resources
Drink!
Older
Fingertips
Particle Man (Featuring Corn Mo)
Don’t Cross the Street
Anahiem (Venue Song)
Dallas (Venue Song)
James K. Polk
Ana Ng
Bastard Wants to Hit Me
Meet James Ensor
Working Undercover for the Man
End of the Tour (Encore)
Robot Parade (Encore)
In other news I just found out that the Orishas (Cuban rap) are playing in Oakland tomorrow night, but the show is sold out. Craiglist turns up people who are looking for tix, not selling. Too bad, would have loved to have seen them
