(She was a guest on the "Woman's Music Hour" this morning on WXPN, but, since I listen to WXPN via WKHS, which likes to broadcast other things during the day, I missed it.) - -- chad@ radix.net ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Nov 1998 23:10:17 -0500 From: "Bell-occhio" Subject: Cleveland (verbose and effusive, you have been warned) I actually wrote the majority of this around 4am when I got home Weds., but the 2 hour intravenous caffiene drip that is Fruvous quickly wore off and I decided to go to bed. All in all, a fantastic show. I was a bit worried at first, since it was basically in a basement with everything set up on the floor, but the acoustics were good, vocals were great, they were really on (full moon maybe?), and personally, I liked sitting on the floor. The lack of stage gave a different feeling to everything, it's much nicer being on the same level. Plus, even though I got there at the last minute, I still got a seat in the front row. Can't beat that. When they came on "stage", we all stood, and were quickly instructed to sit back down for the sake of the back rows. Mi:(I'm "condensing, it's the way of the future!") "If you're sitting, you can dance on your ass" "Later in the show, we'll ask everyone to stand, and then the people in back won't have anything to do." "And then there'll be a riot." Someone in back was holding up a sign, which, according to the person to my right, said she wanted to have some frulad's baby. "Sorry, we can't read that one." (acapella) Message Sahara -Alas, no dumbek, it's just not the same without it. But wonderful nonetheless. Laika -Great speedy little version of one I've been wanting to hear. "We thought we'd play that because someone had a sign requesting it..... uh, no, still can't see that other sign." Entropy tease, up to James Joule line. Lots of banter about CWRU, including about what they thought it sounded like, Mi: "It sounds like a wine.. The Sautern is wonderful, have you tried the Case Western Reserve?" Mur "Case Western Reserve, the finest in tractor parts for over 70 years.". Jian asked what the deal was with the neon around the park benches, and what exactly that plalce was called. "Public Square? They really got creative with that one. It's like in Toledo, they have the Sports Arena. Yeah, I'm going to the *Grocery Store*, and I'll stop by the *Public Square* before I go to the *Sports Arena*." This came up several times throughout the show. D: "And we'll go to Au Bon Pain for *sandwich*." J: "Who are you voting for? *Legislator*." Mur: "I voted for *Candidate* last year." Half As Much Dave pulls out the accordian to great applause. Mur: "That's one of the signs of the apocalypse, an accordian getting a cheer." "Look, we have the polka appreciation society in attendance tonight." Cue the polka music and Dave starts singing in German. "When Y2K hits, the accordian will be the only instrument that'll still function. That'll drive em right over the edge." "And they'll no longer have the ability to alter people's appearances. " "Oh nice segue!" Medicine Boss - No intro, sad puppy by Jian and look of general confusion by others before last "boss" Bit which might've been here- comments are made on Mur's doing that raising the roof move. "It was awkward, and I imagine it looked awkward as well." Mike says he's been leaving his shoelaces untied lately and thinks it'll catch on. "And now a song that's on two of our albums, including our latest disc..." Mur: "Frumania - Greatest Hits 1977-1997" Horseshoes -Just beautiful. Cheek To Cheek -I thought this was great. "I like to take her dancing/I like to kiss her face/But what I really like to do is [can't remember] Case" Moxy Fruvous is actually a swing band! "The clock is ticking on the fad." Mur: "It's about 11:48 on the swing clock." Spidey Sad Girl - I'm really beginning to like this one. "Suave" bit. "We're a much better swing band when we're not playing our own instuments." "Something has not been represented in popular music. Horses [bit of 'ridin in the desert...'] have been, dogs and cats have... but not the fish." Pisco -My other favorite new song. I always have the chorus running through my head for days after I hear it. Boo-Murray forgot his hat. Yes Mur, we were laughing. "North Ohio... me oh my oh.......getting kinda sore on the Erie shore" Mi:"That song was about smokin grass" "But they don't do that in Ohio." "Then we're letting them know what's out there." Comission intro and small fit of excitement by myself because the other song I wanted to hear was- The Kids Song -"Who wasn't asked?" J:"The extremely flat footed?" Mi:"No, the platapus comission, as they're known, were asked." It's just so much fun and the visuals are priceless. "Taupe!" "Food that isn't Barney." "Another new song, a bittersweet song... No, not Bittersweet, I said it was a new song." I Will Hold On - ah, my favorite of the new songs. I just love it. Now there's a great summation of a frushow, laughing so hard you could cry one moment, and the room is suddenly placid and maybe you're keeping up the tears for other reasons the next.* Anti-monarchy intro. The audience was queried on something, and when everyone answered with "YEAH", Jian said it needed to be more staccato, this continued until we were down to a "Y!" "Which is far more efficient.. From now on, everyone should jsut answer with "Y!" and "N!" KoS "Riot!">GE&H Mi: "I've got one thing to say to you. S. O. S. Same. Old. Shit." Mur: "A pox on the house of cheese!" There was also a improv with the lads "Y!"ing and "N!"ing. Michy (B.J. is on the setlist here but wasn't played) #9 - Stayin Alive/Who Will Save Your Soul/Thank U/Barbie Girl - ----- Mur: "If you have any pent up boogie, get rid of it now. It's dangerous to keep that stuff bottled up." Car Then there was..well, I can't remember how it started... M: "After the show, you can ask for a backrub... or a backrub plus." J: "Or sexual intercourse. Can we say that on campus? Right, we just can't say fucked." This led to sucking and fucking, an album called Intercourse and Murray singing "in and out and in and out.." Psycho -Half a dozen false starts. - ----- Everyone stands. "The whole crowd is taller than us!" Drink-I love putting my arm around someone I don't know, and singing and swaying. I apparantly have no concept of personal space. The "security" was downright rude, shoving people out ther door, so I din't get to say hi to anyone, and I quickly lost track of those I thought were from the ng. I've come to the conclusion I'm never going to meet any of you. So I ran to the car yelling "It's too cold!" and I think, finally, this is where the review ends. Lace ("Is Lacey really your name?" "um, yes it is."

I'm not sure, but if you'd like I can ask her - she's playing in Northampton again this tuesday and I'll probably be going to see her. As far as I know, she only has two albums out - the CD she spoke of when she opened for Fruvous, and a tape which you can mail order. I'm not sure if the song is on the tape, but everyone I know would like to have a recording of it, so if she hasn't recorded it yet, I'm reasonably sure she'll do so for the next album. I, for one, certainly hope so. ;) ~Caroline cmoore@mail.smith.edu *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* "Hey, flirt with this, I am a certifiable hardcore bitch" - Jess Klein "Oh, what a trip it has been!" - Jian Ghomeshi ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #976 ********************************************
