ANYway, i caught the NYC show a couple nights ago and it was completely amazing! i even took along 4 friends who'd never seen them before (2 of whom had never even heard a note they played) and they were all blown away. ive only seen fruvous like, 5 or 6 times myself but this was by far the best. actually, it looks like all the fun stuff has been properly reported. Bowery Ballroom is a downright swanky place right now but its only been open a couple weeks- quick, see the wooden floors before they get old and icky! i saw another band there but i got there late so i couldnt take in the full ambience. at this point i'll also appologise for my friend jesse who's officially "the annoying tall guy in the front row." but then again fruvous fans seem just plain bigger than an average audience so you can take it! im a pretty big TMBG fan an i usually travel with like-minded people and the two references were not lost on us. did anyone else catch the simpsons quote too? those wacky canadians. we were Daves People by default but that was cool cuz he's cool- Scary Fruvous (anyone who plays the accordion and banjo and has a shaved head... ) the new songs (except the fish one) sound a lot like Sean Altman songs (crushed and beaten romance etc... sean helped found the band Rockapella and has since foolishly left for a solo career. and he collaborated with jian on something.) Cabaret was really cool (no one realizes how darn catchy those showtunes are) And the drinking song at the end was drop dead gorgeous. that was the first fruvous song ever that totally impressed me >then the second song of the first encore began, which was psycho killer, which in my humble opinion, is better performed by fruvous then by the talking heads.< this wont make me all that popular but umm... have you see the talking heads live? if so im jealous but ANYway, i saw david byrne a few months ago and he did that song. he wore this sick skin tight jumpsuit that covered everything except his mouth and eyes and made him look like he'd been flayed alive cuz it showed all his muscles and stuff. and they had blacklights, it was one of the coolest things ive ever seen! i still have nightmares. fruvous, tho wonderful (my friend didnt know they played that song and she nearly choked) just dont compare. sorry, had to say that last, i finally decided im not too cheap to buy Wood and it gives me a whole lot more respect for them as *ahem* Artists. great album!! well, back to lurking... everyone have fun at the rest of the shows! ~liz ------------------------------ Date: 1 Jul 1998 11:21:17 GMT From: fruwench@aol.com (FruWench) Subject: Re: Bowery Show Good Morning!

No, this happened downstairs before the show started.

Ya gotta laugh, you really do.  "Only five or six times."  I
understand this perfectly, what it's like to feel like that's not a
lot of times (especially when they've teased us with trying to attend
fifty shows in a year & a half, with the Fruhead/Frumiles cards), but
really--in how many contexts does one say "I've *only* seen a group
five or six times"?  

cee, giggling, having seen them 36 times herself and knowing that
doesn't compare at all to Chris O'Malley's 70-something

Wilakommen, new fru-fan.  Be careful, the new CDs come with a mild adhesive
which makes them very difficult to remove from your CD player.	What I have
found that works is that I pick up another Moxy album and attempt to place
that in the player... the relative proximity of another moxy album seems to
have an effect on the glue.  Your milage may vary though.

You know you're doomed when you can sing the french lyrics and haven't a clue
as to what they mean. (or you make up meanings.. ;-) or look on FDC for
translations..)

Bien venidos to the art of the fru.

<< Mary, whose younger brother told the "Inside Edition" intereviewer at our
house today that he "listens to a lot of Moxy Fruvous in his spare time" just
to amuse me. The reporter replied, "WHAT?" so I doubt it'll get aired, but the

   "Inside Edition?"  And what sex scandal are YOU currently embroiled in?  Or
is this just a preliminary for an appearance on Jerry Springer?  ;>
