I really enjoyed the show...I'd say that the banter was a bit wittier than usual...who can forget "COCK ATTACK"? :) Also the harrassment of the old balcony people. Plus, they played Spidey, which I haven't heard live in too long... Also, you know the crowd really gets into it when Früvous plays "Brown Eyed Girl" at the festival gigs... - --Novac - ---------------------------------------- '#,:#$#. ,,, $, #, ,, ,,, :# '#; .#' `, #, ,$ .# #; .#' ` $# '# ##. : #,,#' #' '# ##. ,:' ,#' '#:,,#' ;' "#,,$#,.

(oh, also a good looking guy with an old TMBG apollo 18 tour shirt .. hehe.. i'd seen him earlier and knew he had to be there for früvous..) "Bark Like a Dog" came on. they were ok, i guess. i wasn't really paying attention, sitting not-facing the stage, looking for a couple people (one being a friend who calls them "foxy doofus".. although now affectionately! i made a convert!! :D). everyone seemed to like 'em though.. my sister got their cd so i guess i'll have to listen to it .. after their set they came down to give autographs and gave everyone stickers and roses*. moxy came on after forever (really, 7:20ish. 50 minutes late, that's moxy!:)) and spent a LONG time bantering:) my favourite pre-song banter : tuning a bit, a little feedback came from murray's bass, to which jian said "murray, you're feeding." and muray replied "no, i'm just lactating." oh yeah, dave's banjo has been artistically altered by mike:) in the same style as the multi-colour flame-like paint on the bj don't cry page of bargainville's liner notes. :) very pretty! no trespassing/cock attack/seniors-a-gogo: first you need the setting. across the stage, at the top of a small hill there's a small fence which had a small general "NO TRESPASSING" sign. past the fence there's a large building with a large sign on the side, facing the stage that says "BARRET AGENCY INSURANCE", with the logo being a small red weathervane rooster. ...now there were people behind and along the fence. jian mentioned how the sign wasn't working all that well. out of nowhere came an improv sign about "noooooo tresssssspassing" (somewhat to the tune of "school's out for summer" without the "for"). after that, they mentioned how, the people that had never seen them must have thought they planted the no trespassing sign there so they could do their 'no tresspassing' song. "hey guys, think back to 3 months ago when we wrote that song about no trespassing!" "it's to the tune of our song [singing the same tune] - staaaaaaage ooonnnnn a barge"... and then they mentioned how *that* was to the tune of their song "baaaaaaarr-eetttt agency.." which prompted more banter about the barret agency. mostly by mike.. "i just love the little logo there..." jokes about falling weathervanes, "*male* roosters" - purposely not saying the word.. ;) .. etc. jokes about people with the barret agency coming out and tripping people in the crowd... "were you tripped at harborfest? yeah, we thought so. call the barret agency." but it was murray who finally provided the expected joke about .. "cock attack". to the right of the barret agency was a senor citizen's apartment complex apparently. there were a bunch of old people on their balconies in their patio chairs watching the show. the guys noticed them and said hello, which prompted one of the female elders to get up by surprise and boogie for us. "it's seniors a go-go!" ....later during spiderman, during the improv speaking part, spidey had come to oswego to uncover the mystery of where all the seniors had gone (no one was on their balcony anymore.. and this was only about... 10 minutes later) which was realy funny.. and he informed us that they all went into their bathtubs like the ones from cocoon .. "forget viagra! it's orgasm time!" child 23! there was a little kid (looked about 9) at the top of the hill with a jersey on, #23. i don't know why they started picking on him, but a big song started about "child 23". "oswego's so small, they just number the children." murray: "come here, little 9!" :) (the kid looked pretty pissed )... "he's gonna be in 14 years of therapy!" "we just took away his childhood!" of course then followed the drinking song, or on live noise as someone pointed out - "song 23":) there was something about phil donahue too, apparently a guy in the audience who looked like him. i couldn't see. other stuff: then there was some jokes about fried dough... which gave one of the stage crew girls the idea to run over to get a couple plates of it and set it on stage for the band. mike threw one of the doughs (?) out into the crowd, and the 2nd was used during king of spain.. (i got a great shot of him with a big slice of fried dough hanging out of his mouth.. :)) a bunch of guys kept shouting "DRINKING SOOOOOONNNG!" and jian made them promise to screm that inbetween every song, then they'd do it. ;) at one point they shouted "VIDEO BAAAARGAINVIIILLLLE!" and jian said "we know who's going home with the band tonight, eh big boys?" and gave them a flirty look, then said to the band "i'm gonna get the shit kicked out of me....." :) someone shouted "Istanbul!" and jian said "i am mister worm"... ~ a "Dr. Worm" TMBG reference! yay! now if i could only hear the song... the set: kinda standard-ish.. (compared to the setlists around here for the more frühead based shows.) jian's (in caps; other comments are mine). AUTHORS BJ JOCKEY HORSE (shoes) SAD (girl) BOSS SPIDEY KIDZ (song) FLY BOOTY MICHY (TUREEN) (parentheses i don't know why..) SAUCE MESSAGE KINGREEN CAR POTION VIDEO . . . . . . not on list- drinking song ~ after-show stuff: since i have pretty much run out of things to get signed , i was camera girl for kitana. :) *roses.. my sister gave murray her rose (someone else had already given one) and he still wanted another one (he HAD to have 3).. we had one more ..*I* was about to give it to him but the brat snatched it out of my hands ... he was excited to finally have 3. kitana and i waiting, watched him sign the back of some girl's lilith fair shirt... writing "I'M PAULA COLE", everyone watching was laughing making the girl nervous.. and murray reassured her "oh i'm just writing obscene words on your shirt." i guess, that's it really. all i can remember for now. :) I'm sure i'll think of something else later... . . . . . . . *sarah linnellgirl@tmbg.org ~ http://lava.home.ml.org "with all life has to offer there's so much to be enjoyed; the pleasures of insomnia are ones i can't avoid"--barenaked ladies ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #162 ********************************************
