SEBADOH / Quasi at the Larimer Lounge, Denver Feb 15, 2011

Posted in Concert Reviews on February 17th, 2011 by corpo

One night after seeing a show filled with under 20 year old hipsters I found myself going to see Sebadoh – a 90s indie rock icon.  The crew was Ric, Brian, Maria, John, Zach and I and the place was filled with other aging indie rock nerds.  Quasi opened and they were awesome.  I enjoyed them more when the singer would play guitar, but they were good when he was on piano too.  Well, what’s left of the piano after he kicked it a bunch on the last song.Sebadoh was spectacular.  Click the photo above to go to Reverb magazine for more cool photos and big words describing how radical the show was.  On top of playing great musically they also proved that they are still socially awkward when interacting with the crowd.  Especially Jason.  That guy is crazy.  I love it!  Anyways it looks like they’re basically playing the same setlist every night and I found this one from Seattle’s show:

  • 1 Intro
  • 2 On Fire
  • 3 Dreams
  • 4 Too Pure
  • 5 Soul and Fire
  • 6 Sister
  • 7 Shit Soup
  • 8 Mind Reader
  • 9 Got It
  • 10 I Love To Fight
  • 11 Drag Down
  • 12 Magnets Coil
  • 13 Ocean
  • 14 Skull
  • 15 Rebound
  • 16 License to Confuse
  • 17 Drama Mine
  • 18 Nothing Like You
  • 19 Crystal Gypsy
  • 20 Careful
  • 21 Beauty of the Ride
  • 22 Not a Friend
  • 23 Together or Alone
  • 24 Forced Love
  • 25 Sixteen
  • 26 Give Up
  • 27 Junk Bonds
  • 28 New Worship
  • 29 Brand New Love
  • 30 Worst Thing
  • 31 Not Too Amused
  • 32 Willing to Wait

John gets the nerd award having successfully guessed the first song and was able to name the most tunes after hearing only the first note of the song.  Brian and Maria left early.  Ric almost puked in my car.  Zach used to make fun of me for liking indie rock instead of just punk rock.  They were charging $20 for a one color t-shirt and Lou was proud of it.  Some dork got called out for the first Dinosaur Jr request of the tour (and no it wasn’t me come on I know they wouldn’t be able to play it good anyways ha). All in all a fun night and they must have played good because I’ve been listening to Sebadoh ever since.Looks like there is lots of youtube clips of the show.
