Monday, Monday: Now 200% More Trustable

posted by on August 20 at 13:08 PM

A new favorite thing: Monday-evening concerts at the Crocodile Café. They aren’t too crowded, too bleary, or too exhausting. But they’re still, you know, a concert. Perfect for a prematurely old man like me.

A couple of weeks ago, it was Eux Autres, who were adorable. Tonight, it’s a revue of stripped-down Harvey Danger songs by Mssrs. Sean Nelson and Jeff Lin on piano and acoustic guitar, respectively. Quoth Sean:

The arrangements are quiet, but not mellow. Maybe it’s mature; I don’t know. It’s not that mature. I’ll still be telling dirty jokes in between songs. Sample punch line: “I got a better idea: let’s walk down there and fuck all those cows!”

The other Harveys Danger will play sets with their other bands, including Eastern Grip (with M. Welke on drums) and the Capillaries (with Aaron Huffman on the bass).

It starts at 8:30. It costs one thousand pennies. It should be, as we prematurely old men like to say, “a gas.”

Sean Nelson did an amazing cover of "Angel of the Morning" at Friday night's Pike Place Market tribute concert - he nailed it *and* made it his own. But it was John Roderick's rendition of Ivar's "Acres of Clams" theme song that totally stole the show.

It's not a "concert" if you're not sitting down. The Croc has "shows", not concerts.

@2 What the hell are you talking about? Do you have any etymological basis for this assertion or are you just being a crank?

Sorry Fnarf. "Show" is too newfangled a term for us prematurely old men. You kids and your crazy argot...

Dina Martina also says "a gas." Does that maker her a prematurely old man?
