Being that this was my first 'real' Moxy Fruvous concert, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I had seen them at the SoNo Arts Festival in Norwalk, CT (last summer?) but that seemed more of a concert they played at than a true Fruvous date. So, after wandering over a bit more of Boston than originally planned, I arrived in time to hear the last two songs by Jess Klien (I think). As had been noted by others at other concerts, no one seemed to pay much attention to her. I guess that's the rule for opening acts. As for the actual part performed by our four lads, I was pleased. My girlfriend gets mad at me for not remembering details of *anything* but I do remember that "Independence Day" stood out amongst the opening 4 or 5 songs, all of which came from the new album. At the beginning of "I Love My Boss," we all sang along, to which Jian mentioned that we all knew it and therefore, must have had it on MP3. A bit of anti-MP3 sentiment was launched.... lots of gnome puns....a medley of Lionel Richie songs that involved a pair of ladies from the audience singing backup...."...and you shook me all night long..."....I also finally heard Pisco Bandito. I know it's been out for a while, but I kind of fell off the face of the earth. But that's the second new song that I've decided I love...third one is "I Will Hold On," which even though I've only heard it once, has already had a profound impact on me. (If someone has the lyrics to this, please kindly send a copy along as I now desperately need to share them with someone special in my life). I also realized that a Moxy Fruvous concert is a different experience than a lot of other shows I've gone to. Most bands, you go to listen to the songs; I go to Fruvous to see *them*. Yeah, I know, one and a half concerts. I've seen lots of bands more than that... but I have the feeling that if they just decided to do three songs, and talk to us the rest of the time, I'd be cool with that. I can't see They Might Be Giants doing something like that and making it appeal to me. Finally, a plea and a note. The plea is that if one of the folks who was taping (and I know two folks were; I watched the mics being set on the electrical wires ;-) got a good copy of the show, I'd love to have a copy. I have nothing to trade, unfortunately - but blank tapes. The other is that if you get this message before Tuesday's show, I'll be there too. Just look for the fairly tall guy with the unkempt hair and (weather depending) long sleeve KLF shirt. I now must return to my lurker status. Plus, I have to work in 5 hours. - -- - -neil neilliam@hotmail.com www.neilbert.com ------------------------------ Date: 4 May 1999 11:31:12 GMT From: fruwench@aol.com (FruWench) Subject: Re: T-shirts Ladies, try Macy's.

I also tend to cut the tight crew necks out of T-shirts so they hang a little more loosely or else buy shirts that are lower cut in some way, hence the Frujersey choice rather than a regular T-shirt.

House of Blues - Cambridge, Monday night "I hope there is someone from the Boston Globe here, because this is the most f*cking surreal thing that even this group has ever done. 'They ended the night with an off key tribute to Lionel Richie'" - Jian I need to do some work, so I won't write a long review now, but it was a terrific show. The guys were in great humor and the show was very loose. there were a number of comments about allowing the audiance into "our practice space." Lets see, some comments: it was a very small space and got packed in very quickly when the guys went on stage. Jian said they wanted to play some small venues to work on playing their new stuff. The audiance was enthusiastic, especially in singing along with the improvs and the extended Lionel Richie segment. The famous Gnomes were there, which led to a lot of gnome puns, which I won't repeat. Jian ragged on Murray for his style of counting in the song When she talks, I listen, which led to the whole crowd counting along and applauding the band for being able to start at the right time. There was a Bjork tribute. The new songs sounded great. Jian said that their time togeather recording the new album was very "special" and they really seemed pleased with the results. The Lionel Richie segment is hard to describe, but was great, when it started to lose steam they drifted into a few other songs, including On Broadway, call me Al, Dave's rap style song ("it may look like a movie, but you know that it's real), and finally You shook me all night long. Oh, and Chris O'Malley did an excellent Toby impression at the merch table during the show. I won't attempt the set list, but a quick description would be lots of new songs, followed by a sort of run through the popular sing-a-longs, followed by general weirdness and some softer songs to close. No King of Spain or drinking song.

You know, I have a large collection of concert T's that I only wear to sleep cause they're so danged HUGE. You know what I've taken to doing? I make shirts. I'm not talking all crafty and puff-painty...I'm talking a good old fashioned Hanes Beefy Tee (they have nice long shirt tails and closer fitting bodies so they aren't all humongous and boxy like many men's tee-shirts) and a Sharpie or two (more than one colour if you're feeling adventurous). Here's what I do. I pick out a quote from a song. I write it on the front of the shirt. EX: For my Tori Amos shirt, I says simply, "Don't wanna be a boy today." If I'm feeling especially creative, I'll draw a little logo on the front left breast and something on the back. EX: For my Moxy Fruvous shirt, the front has a little Canadian Flag with the Budgie in the middle (sound like something we know?) and the back says "I love Canadian Boys" and there's a heart in the middle of the "o" in "love." I get TONS of comments on my home-made shirts (the point is not to make them look too planned out and executed. If you do that, it looks like you're just cheap...unless you can silk screen, which is a whole 'nother ballgame). It's an easy way to A) have whatever size shirt you want in whatever colour you want B) pick the exact content of the shirt/message and, C) you feel way cool in the process. Get the word of your favourite band out there and don't let lame-ass shirt sizes discourage you!
