I love Vivian Girls and Times New Viking. But I hate Wolf Eyes (I'm 17). I like some of my music noise-infused but I have no patience for pure noise. Plus, the Wolf Eyes fans in the front were total douchefags.

What??? Are Wolf Eyes the new go-to band for fucking jocks, then? Jesus . If they tried any of that shit with me, they would have got a size 10 DM boot in their cock and balls.

They were fat and sweaty and had goatees and bald spots. It was awful.

Ugh, power electronics fans who spend all their time collecting limited edition CDRs and have no life, and have never got laid. Kill the fools!

jennthebenn - glad you enjoyed the show. Good to know that there were plenty of SY Group boardies in evidence there!

I've seen plenty of SY shows in my day,but last night was one of the all time best.Perfect setlist-free of the normal songs they always play and full of amazing Daydream stuff.The encores were stupendous.There was a lot of emotion in the playing and overall it was a big love fest all around.Just before Xprsswy everyone let out a big roar and the band just soaked it in before tearing it right the fuck up.Bigtime sweet reefer scene as well.What a night!

Thurston was digging the clouds of weed floating around. It's too bad he's all about the quaaludes!

i thought the feedback and noise of Expressway was a perfect end to an brief era of concerts at a huge crumbling old swimming pool. It was sad and beautiful

Well said. I've seen some incredible shows at the pool over the past three years and I'm sad to see it going. Definitely the best place to see an outdoor concert in NYC.

by the way i just thought i would mention how much i hate wolf eyes since someone asked and i'm 18 so i don't think it has anything to do with age. it's not that i don't get it, because i don't think there IS anything to get, i just think they're terrible.

Every show I've seen there I've been in the back, sitting up on the ledges,
and it sounded great. Although maybe you mean in the back in the pool.

When they first came on, I thought hey this is kinda interesting. And then the song went on and nothing really happened. And the next song kinda sounded like the first. I went to the can and came back--coulda been the same song. The sax raised comparisons to Captain Beeheart but quickly disappeared.

You know, I was sort of excited about seeing Wolf Eyes but they let me down a lot. Vivian Girls and Times New Viking were both really great though.

Melly, I think you've made a completely fair assessment here. However, for the record, among noiseheads (where I totally don't rank myself!), Wolf Eyes are most definitely not considered power electronics.

When I saw Wolf Eyes (also opening for Sonic Youth, though in 2003) I had the same overall reaction as most of you. They seemed to put way too much faith in the tricks of their instruments and equipment without really doing much that was innovative with them. I must say though, that I found the Human Animal album on Sub Pop way better than that, and they were actually doing pretty interesting stuff. So I get the feeling they must be pretty hit and miss. Or else they just can't do live what they can with time to edit, which is equally possible. Though there must be some reason SY keeps having them open for them, so I'm guessing it's the "hit and miss" factor.
