I'm sitting here at work with absolutely nothing to do - so I figure I will tell my story - a long story - one that you will be telling your children, and your children's children, and...uh...maybe not :) Anyway, the first chapter of this story is "The DC Show" or "How I Made Off With Murray's Stuff" After a bit of confusion as to how I was getting back to Columbia to pick up the Fruvous-Mobile (the new name of my car!) I found myself happily traipsing off to College Park to pick up my friends and head down to DC. As usualy, I was flipping out. Everyone wanted to hang out in Georgetown before the show, and show up after the opening act. I was vehemently against this, seeing as I was set on getting good standing room stage Murray! Additinally, I didn't want a repeat of New Years (getting lost and missing half the show) Eventually, I convinced them that since they didn't have tickets, they would have to get there early anyway. My plan worked, and we proceeded to stand outside in the cold. I was looking for Mollie, Arabel, and Matt James, none of whom I had ever seen before, and finally ran into them inside the club. Everyone was very cool (what else would you expect?) and we chatted for a while about this and that. Matt's friend Rob had come down from NY and Arabel's boyfriend was there too. Eventually, I went back to hang out with the kids I had come with and by eavesdropping, I realized I was also standing next to Mindy (Fruchild) and her friend Darcy. They were both super-cool as well. Soon enough, Jess Klein came on. She had a nice voice, but her songs were a little monotonous. The sentiment from the crowd around me was that she was just like Dan Bern, but without the spit. I didn't comment, because I like Dan Bern :) She sang for a while, not too long, and then Cal came on and began setting up the stage. My friend Melanie leaned over and whispered, "Wow! Who finds a roadie that looks like that!?" After another wait, and some cool intermission music (The Posies! Yay!) Fruvous hit the stage. Or rather, half of Fruvous. Jian and Murray came out, picking up dumbek and bass, repectively, and began "Sahara". They played the intro for a minute or so, warming the crowd up, and then Dave and Mike came out. Let me tell you, that was the single most amazing opening I have ever seen from any band...ever. It was awesome. Wow. The rest of the evening went like this, according to Murray's setlist, which I managed to make off with! (But more on that later…) *Sah (Sahara) *Laika - I was soooo psyched to hear this song, because it's one of my favorites. They did it really well, and a few of us who knew the ending harmonies (...it toubles me, troubles me, troubles me sooooo…) sang it, even though I don't think the band did :) *Video (Bargainville) - Another song I really enjoy, and was glad to hear. Very nicely done, Jian had a good deal of energy, and it showed. *Horse (Horseshoes) - Yay! I was hoping they would play this, and they did. Like the last few shows, they've been letting the audience sing the second chorus (Look straigt and the coming disaster…) but I think the audience was a little lost on this. My friend Beth was singing quite loudly when the hush fell, and Jian pointed right at her with his drumstick, which made her wildly happy. *Moon (You Will Go To The Moon) - Very cool. I wasn't expecting this, and it was oodles of fun to see at the dancing, especially Jian and Mike. *Sad (Sad Girl) - Oh. My. Goodness. This is the first time hearing this, although I've had the lyrics memorized for a while, because I love them. Wow. *Splatter - New song, and regardless of what anyone else thinks, I love it. The guitar part is awesome, and the lyrics are smart and catchy. I've had what I remember of it in my head all day. *Car (Get in the Car) - Nice. I wasn't expecting this one either. *Boss (I Love my Boss) - Again, really nice. The harmonies were right on (but then, they've been doing this one for six years!) *Minnie (Minnie the Moocher) - I was expecting Boo Time when I saw Cal put the hats on stage, but this was cool too. The audience got into the call and response quite nicely. Some of Mike's lyrics…(Melanie got the cheat sheet…but I don't have it here, so this is what I remember.) "Last week you all had your Superbowl Sunday, maybe Canada will catch the hype someday. Two football teams sent TV ratings soaring, but could that game be anymore fucking boring!?" and something about people going out and doing things, him wearing a derby, and "some people stay home and jerk off to their Furby!" (At which point I went wild, 'cause my nick on IRC is Furbish, and I take a lot of bad Furby jokes!) *Too Careful (You Can't Be…) - Not bad. I like it a lot, but I think it will grow on me a little more one it comes out on the album. I like the lyrics a lot. *Michi (Michigan Militia) - Nice and fun, as usual. *Sauce (Johnny Saucep'n) - Fun. I wasn't paying attention to the handjive, and so I still don't know it! *Fly - Cool, as usual. *Indy 500 (Independence Day) - Kick ass new Murray song!!! I love it, love it, love it! Another great song to get stuck in your head. Murray was singing with *such* emotion, it was enough to make me almost cry. I'm a huge sucker for lyrics, and from what i remember, this was a wonderfully written song. *Spidey (Lounge) - Kinda fun, though I think I prefer the a capella, because I can sing along. They change they words to do it this way. Still a good song though, and the lounge beat is fun. *King (King of Spain) - The people yelling for this one were finally satiated. Nice and energetic, and generally good fun for all. It went right into… * Green (Green Eggs and Ham) - I wasn't expecting that, since I've heard they've been laying off it a bit. It was super-fun to see. There was a very long interlude during the Beatles break. Jian started in on how he "missed the old Mr. Cheese." (He almost said 'Dave' but caught himself just in time.)And went on that he didnt like this new Mr. Cheese who looked like the singer from the New Radicals. Then Mike started in on some very, very strange monologue about the old Mr. Cheese, who apparently taught him some dance which involved him lying down on his back, throwing his legs up in the air, and making very bizarre noises. Unfortunately, he was lying down behind the drum kit, and I couldn't get a good picture. * BJ (BJ Don't Cry) - Didn't play :( *Psycho (Psycho Killer) - This was fun, I'm not sure I've seen it live before, and I enjoyed it very much. Encore #1 *Dancin' (Dancing Queen) - Fun to see again, pretty standard. My friend Katherine looks at me and excaimed "This is ABBA! They're playing ABBA!" *Drink (Drinking Song) - Wow. A great way to end the show. Very pretty and the band definitly looked very into it. Okay - I don't remember when these incidents happened during the show, so I'll just add them as afterthoughts... Someone (from the NG, though damned if I can remember his name! Actually, it was Kevin! Nevermind :) gave Murray a box of Canadian Smarties, which are baiscally American M&Ms. Murray commented, "These are Canadian! I could get these when I get home on Sunday. I'm in the US, why are you giving me Canadian Smarties?" At this point, Jian started to make fun of Murray, calling him ungrateful. So Murray opened the box and began to eat a few, then began tossing them over his shoulder singing "I'm Mr. Ungrateful, I'm Mr. Ungrateful" (this, by they way, was the single most amusing this i think i have ever seen.) Jian suggested that he give some to the audience, and he began handing them out to us, the denizins of stage Murray. Mike ran over and asked for some as well :) Then Murray threw the empty box out into the audience, I made a half-hearted attempt to catch it, but only ended up falling on my ass. My friend Ben caught it, and offered it to me, and I was really happy for that one :) That's the first thing of Murray's I obsconded with. There was a whole big thing about "Rock Supergroups" and how all the members of Fruvous were actually all from old Canadian supergroups. Murray clamied to be the drummer from a band called Todd (this said as he was at the drums before Sad Girl) and Mike piped in with the fact that Todd was actually spelled with seven d's and the last one was capitalized. ToddddddD. Hmmm. Umm. Yeah, I can't remember much else. I'm getting the two shows confused! One of the people I went with, was being kind of a jerk. He was standing right in front of me, and before the show started, I asked if he would try to grab Murray's setlist for me. He told me that if he got it, he was keeping it for himself. He did grab the setlist. Thinking quickly, I asked if he got two setlists, if I could have Murray's. He said yes, so I prompted him to stretch a little more and grab Jian's. Once he got that, he willingly handed over Murray's. Heh. Score number 2 :) After the show, the kind folks at the 9:30 Club let us chill there for a while and talk with the band. Jian and Murray both came out, and I got them to sign my poster. I asked Jian for a picture, but the flash on my camera wouldn't work, and after three tries, I let him go :) I was thrilled when Murray came out. He was so incredibly nice. I got a picture taken with him and we chatted for a bit. Later, he was talking to Melanie and she was gushing and telling him how much she loved the show. She told Jian that she had brought about 10 people to the show (this is true, we came in three cars) he called her "the Fruvous Catalyst, and wrote it on her poster. Murray asked about that and thought it was hilarious. She then told him how she thinks Fruvous is up there with Les Claypool and Primus and Einstein. (Where Einstein came from, I am not sure) anyway, he wrote on her poster "We're no Einstein(s)!" Later still, as we were still bumming around, my friend Sonia decided that Murray looked so huggable, and she wanted to hug him. Unfortunatly, she was too shy to go up and talk to him. While she wasn't looking, Melanie asked him if he would go over and give her a hug. He started walking in her direction and then stopped as she ran the other way (not knowing what was going on). Melanie gave Murray a little push towards her, but I guess he was unprepared because he ended up slamming right into her from behind. He didn't seem to mind, and Sonia certainly didn't. We told Murray we were going to 7-11 and that he was welcome to come. He asked me "Do you always hang out at the 7-11?" and I told him we were getting Slurpees, and that he really ought to come. We were halfway to the door, but he decided not to go. Honestly, I think my friends scared him. :) Then we went outside, and after seeing a disparaging remark (i just like to use that phrase) about Cal written in the dust on the van, we proceeded to personalize it was some of our own writing :) The high point of my evening was getting the setlist, smarties box, *and* pictures. The fancy new camera took me four rolls of film! Okay! Whew. As far as Friday goes, thats all I can think of to say. I'm exhausted. Let me get my act together for the Sat. review. :) - -anna- http://www.eccentrica.org/elements - -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 15:08:11 GMT From: Groovy Spice Subject: act locally! this was mostly amanda's idea, so kudos go to her, but i'm the more impatient one, so i'm taking the wheel for a few minutes. we'd really like to see fruvous play at wolf trap. as part of a multi-band fest, they'd be great for the filene center (capacity about 6800); on their own, they'd fill up the barns with no problem (the barns seat about 350). if you don't know what Wolf Trap is, go to www.wolf-trap.org and we promise you'll soon agree that the place was built for fruvous. ;) and us. it's located in northern VA. the filene center is their outdoor ampitheater; it's open may- sept. the barns are indoor and open from october through may. if we have to, we'll do this on our own. but that would involve renting both the barns AND fruvous for the evening, and that's big money. tickets will wind up being a lot cheaper if we can get the people at wolf trap to decide on their own that fruvous would be a great act to book. to that end, please send email to and tell them how much you'd love to see fruvous play there, and how they'd sell out the barns in a new york minute. maybe we'll have ourselves a great big (yet intimate and cozy ;) fruparty at the barns this autumn! peace, ellen (psst! pass it on!) ********************************************************************* May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung ********************************************************************* - -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 14:51:46 GMT From: Groovy Spice Subject: 930 musings (longish) this is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a review, just some random thoughts. so i'm standing in front of the sound board on friday sipping a beer and watching the 930 club fill up... and i'm thinking to myself, "how is this happening? no one really promoted this show." WRNR didn't mention it (despite my repeated pleading to do so) because it was at the 930, and WHFS didn't mention it because, well, because it was fruvous and they are clueless (hey, i rhymed!). and yet the 930 was pretty full. some, no doubt, were simply 930 club regulars, but i've no doubt that there were converts among them by the end of the evening. and at a show that i thought was good, but pretty pedestrian by fruvous standards (here i'm wondering what's become of the rumor that certain bargainville gems were going to be given a much-needed rest for a while this year). you'll forgive me for what's to come next, because i am about to make a somewhat unfortunate comparison-- of fruvous to a band that suddenly rocketed to fame, only to sink back into obscurity with their next studio album-- and this is not at *all* the point of the comparison. i'm speaking of the spin doctors, because friday's show made me think of the last time i saw the spin doctors at ziggy's, my favorite little bar/venue in winston-salem. it was so crowded that you had to hold your drink up in the air; there was no room for elbows. i remember thinking to myself at that show, "the next time the spin doctors come to winston, they will be playing at the coliseum," and i was right. (if it makes y'all feel better, i've also seen phish and blues traveler at ziggy's, and they're still around! really! i'm sorry. i'll drop it now.) anyway, i was thinking that my days of seeing fruvous at little bitty places where i could walk right up to the front of the stage-- even after the opening band had gone on-- might just be over. and since those days only began about 8 months ago, this is a little sad. ;) i often come onto a musical scene well after it's already picking up steam, so i know well this feeling of missing the boat. as much as i'm glad fruvous is gaining popularity, i'm a little sad that from 1991-1997, i was living in a part of the country that fruvous doesn't often get to and thus missed out on a lot. anyway, that's about it for my Deep Thoughts. it was lovely to meet kevin and trace, christy (sp?) (maige), Chad (i didn't see chad at all, which was surprising), zard's friend whose name i forget, and loren for the first time (even though i've seen loren before and just didn't know she was the person i talk to on IRC all the time =) , and to meet mary again, and to see kathryn and zard and wendy again, and whoever else i might be spacing on at the moment. amanda and i tried to bring a new DC person into the fold, but he resisted because he's a big stinker. ;) so i don't know if a new fan was made in ed, but we got david g. to come back, and without prodding! i feel like i did my job. a sad/weird note: driving home on georgia ave, i passed by what looked like Las Vegas on wheels-- i.e 3 or 4 ambulances, 4 or 5 police cars, and lots of gawkers. since there were all of the above but no smashed up cars, i can only guess that guns were involved. and i'm sure i'll never find out what happened, because, sadly, things like that usually don't even make the papers in DC. so here's me wishing that when fruvous comes back to DC, they play somewhere with a lower friday evening body count. on that note, please read my following post, especially if you live in this area. if you've read this much, you can certainly handle what's coming next! it's beach reading, by comparison. ;) peace, ellen ********************************************************************* May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung ********************************************************************* - -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 10:24:52 -0500 From: Chad Maloney Subject: VelVel?

Just FYI, IRC Undernet #moxyfruvous has been laggy lately. The main cause is the use of the newyork.ny.us.undernet.org server. It has become way too busy during daytime hours, and thus causes much frustration. So, until we find a better Undernet server to congregate on, I've suggested rockhill.sc.us.undernet.org as a temp replacement until a stronger server within the Undernet network can be found. Other tips to avoid lag... set your IRC client to log on to servers using less busy ports. Port 6667 is the default, and is very busy on most every channel. Lover ports (6664-6666) or higher ports (6668-7000; others) are usually less laggy. Complete port/server listings are available as always at servers.undernet.org (website).

It's such a hit & miss venue. I've seen no fewer than 30 shows there & it's one of my favorite halls. While the bounce staff there has never been nominated for Collective Miss Congeniality, I've never seen them be the gaping assholes as everyone has described (I wasn't at the show :<). But I would never put it past them. I'm not defending them, but the Troc often is the hall of choice for a lot of the harder acts; so perhaps they can tell hippie geeks from stage diving metalheadz. Like..... DUH! What time did the show let out? They often do everything they can to KEEP people there to run up their bartabs. I dunno. Maybe there was a Bondage Ball they all HAD to get to....

Hey Eric! #MoxyFruvous on Undernet is the Fruvous channel I (and many others here) frequent a lot. Usually at any given time of day/night there are some people on and we can get up to and above 20 people at night sometimes. But most of the time there's something going on. Topics range very wide (something that delights some channel regulars and dismays others), but just jump right in and get talking. Everyone is pretty friendly. There's a #MoxyFruvous page on Fruvous.com too. I think it's kinda out of date and I don't know who is trying to maintain it, but it has some info as well, for channel rules and such. Check out http://www.fruvous.com/irc.html for that... If you (or anyone) has any questions, just ask. As for servers, I've had luck with newyork.ny.us.undernet.org, baltimore.md.us.undernet.org, and newbrunswick.nj.us.undernet.org.
