x-post, yes it is an odd thread, Norm, but worth it because now I know there's a band with a track called "In Nos Aetas Ultima Venit?", as there should be.

July 23 @ Wired Cafe.

4. Dixie
5. Pacifica
6. Mail Fraud
7. "Greetings From Sunny California"
8. Let Us Give Thanks And Praise

To satisfy k/l, this is how the setlist would have been written out for the full band show we did prior to that (full setlist here):

300
OMAHA
ARTICHOKE
ACE
HOUSTON
ANGELS
SHIT
TATTOO
STOMP
OCCULT
YREKA
ADMONITION
1001

Actually "STOMP" might have been written out "[NEW SONG]".

All our setlists (that is, the list of what we actually performed) end up on our website, because I like to keep track of that sort of thing.

Ha, it's actually a song that sounds a lot like NEU!, so its provisional title is, in a groan-worthy pun, ALT ("Old" in German).

It's at Glass House Gallery in Williamsburg Brooklyn. We're supposed to go on at 8:30 pm. Also on the bill is Elizabeth Harper, and I'm not sure who else. Gallery info here: http://www.brookebaxter.com/glasshousegallery/index.php

All of my songs that I could find a way to perform decently as "boom box plus me singing and playing one keyboard," with the Pixies cover thrown in for fun, although I'm not sure how many people were really on board with that.

OK, stupid question: is "Major Tom" a cover of the Peter Schilling tune?

30mins. Well, it's a bit less, but there's a lot of faffing about between songs.

The first two are actually untitled at the moment, but what they have will probably stick anyway. The other are all abbreviated, except kidz which is called something else altogether. Our singer has a tendency to print out setlists beforehand, this angers me. We have to decide most of the setlist before the gig due most of the songs having backing tracks/samples on a laptop which then need to be loaded in order (or something), and also deciding which extra instruments we need.

The Franchise
Ye Grog & Tankard, Washington DC
August 12

Soundcheck: Punk Rock Dog

Post-Apocalyptic Love Song
Shopping Blues
When the Zombies Come
Psycho Neighbor

A Minor Thingy (to cover drums/guitar switch)

New Song in my Head
Lojack
Big Bad Wolf
Chick Magnet
King of Falafel
Superhero
American Cyborg

The first four are songs I wrote and that thus have me playing the guitar. My bandmate David plays drums during "my" part of the set, and then he comes out to play guitar for the rest of it. A while back, we wrote a specific piece of music for the change, but on that particular night, we played a little improvy bit to cover the switch. Sometimes we just switch between songs.

I can't say that I love this arrangement, because it gives the impression that I'm opening for my own band. David is the better guitar player, and I am the better drummer, so it's not really putting the best foot forward. I prefer switching twice, so that "my" portion comes in the middle, but the other folks thought that it ate up too much time.

Here's one we did last Saturday at a street party in East Vancouver:

I'm All Tied Up
Beach Boy Blues
Chinatown My Chinatown
Jungle Drums
All Star Wrestling

7. road

30mins, more or less. Not a huge difference from the last gig, although as we haven't rehearsed since then there wasn't much we could do, really. And we only have about 4 or 5 other songs we can actually play.
Didn't actually write any setlists for this one.

Oh I forgot, about that show last week for which I posted our set list: our bass player/my wife printed out our set lists at her work the day of the show, and after we played we left them on stage. When the band we were opening for got on stage, they started making fun of our printed-out set lists, saying things like "oh, if you want, we can email our set to you, or fax it to you..." I didn't really get angry at the time though because I thought they had also printed out their set lists and were just making fun of themselves.

What, they're so punk rock that they make theirs out of magazine cutouts and Xerox them?

Their set lists are hand-drawn by Raymond Pettibon?

They carve their set lists in their FLESH.

My bitchy comment was that it's easier to not have a set list when all your songs sound exactly the same.

(I actually liked the band though.)
