wow. yeah. wow. lights + rocketship was about my peak of what my brain can handle for amounts of amazing-ness. but the only i didnt like was the set-up encore. quite honestly, i just hate encores all around. how about you? |

I was going to see 'em live once... BUt i couldn't be bothered. Are they good live? as for encores... well, Fionn Regan got an encore as a support act. I think it's amazing when it's completely unplanned, but sill when it's planned. Sometimes on the setlist theres a line and then more songs. That's the encore.  _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

yeah i know. my friend saw's eisley's set list before the show and it had their set and then at the bottom, "Encore:", followed by their planned encore songs. so yeah, unplanned encores, i can handle. but planned....nay. shiny toy guns are fantastic live because their voices are nearly perfect to their recordings. also the music and lighting were very very good. a great band to watch because they don't just stand there. another part I loved was that Carah (le disko chick) and Jeremy (synths) switched off on the synths and bass showing some versatility. so yeah, if you get the chance to see them, do it. they love their fans and they put on a great set each time from what i've heard and seen. oh also, the band before them was local but i had never heard them, and i heavily regret that now. if you're into alt/dance check them out: www.myspace.com/gomotion -- they're touring all around Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and then the East this summer. |

i didnt know that groups planned encores...i thought they were spontaneous when you have a good audience that wants more. _________________ www.flickr.com/photos/somecallmeallie www.envelopesandeggnog.blogspot.com www.somecallmeallie.deviantart.com |

sometimes they're planned, sometimes not. I dunno... I think that sometimes bands may plan for an encore but it's not a given that they're gunna do it. What're the best encores you've had? Two that sticks out are: Turin Brakes, late 2005. Three encores, with oldies! Awesomeness. man alive they're hot live. Duke Special, 10th June 2006. He did one encore, and then the 20 or so of us were hollering loud! They came back onstage... and did their own version of The Buggles' Video Killed the Radio Star. Truly fantastic cover. _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

haha, actually I assumed that bands pretty much plan the encores. It's almost expected. No one leaves after the show, you just wait for the encore. I'd be mad if a band based it solely on the audience craziness. I get the point, but if they go from a major market area to a smaller market area, the 200 people that are feeling the show shouldn't be shafted just because they don't scream as loud as the 1000 person venue. In my opinion.

In my opinion. very true. if the bands didnt want an encore, the crews would come and shut down the set so they can get out of there. not just leave the equipment there with the lights off for no reason |

It bothers me when the opening act does an encore. I do love unplanned encores though! It's the spontaneity that is lacking in many bands' performances. A lot of the time they will play about the same show in every town they go to. Also, encores don't have to be about audience reaction. I mean, obviously if a crowd is booing, then....no encore. But, if there's a small crowd in an iintimate setting the artist might feel like playing some more songs, just to play them. And that's great. God Bless _________________ chinese food makes me sick |

I think their new video is teh awful, but I think the band is pretty good. Yeah, most of the encores I've seen were planned. It's silly, but people expect it, and you basically have to do it to be nice. Someone should ask Eisley about trying not to do that silly encore routine. They can probably tell you how fruitless it is. ha ha. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |
