Slog - Comments on Nelson Is Nelson http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/12/nelson_is_nelson Sean Nelson is performing with an upscale rock orchestra concoction (including the quirked-up band "Awesome") at Town Hall tonight, Friday night. For those who know Sean as the Johnny Lydon-meets-Elton John frontman for Harvey Danger, you are about to be blown away by Mr. Nelson's true talents. I'm not saying the guy doesn't put out and put on a devastating rock show ("Ooooh-woooh-hooo/Woooh-hoooo!"), I'm just saying Sean has always been a showman in the masterful Artie Shaw sense that calls for Town Hall, more than he's been a low-tech Iggy Pop tramp at home in the rock clubs.

Not only do we have him to thank for "Put the Lime in the Coconut," and "The Point" and the music to that forgotten Altman gem, "Popeye."

Fixed. Thanks.

I'll stick with Johnny Lydon, though.

On stage w/ Harvey Danger, Nelson plays the foppish Johnny Rotten punk way more than the dolorous NYC '77 thing.

I'm going to the TIG Very Merry Karaoke Bash at the Croc tonight instead. Sorry, Sean - karaoking rockers sounds more fun to me than an orchestral event.... :(

PS: 8pm to whenever at the Croc - $10 to get in!

Jumping about isn’t enough if you want the comparison to hold. So I say Hell.

Question: Some sources (like the Stranger and Brown paper Tickets) say the show starts at 7:00. Others (like the Town Hall website) say 8:00. Much as I love Nilsson, I don't really want to get there an hour early... Can you clear this up? Thanks.
