The fact that they improvise at all is standard Jazz, plus all the scat singing. Not to mention their cover of "Minnie;" and "Boo Time" is decadently jazzy. It's not just in their banter that they show jazz influences.

Forgive the lack of clarity on this: I forget how it started, but I tthink jian asked murray if he had an orange pick.. Murray hands him one, and there was some discussion about how they had just bought them today, yet murray and jian have to share one pick. Then Dave from behind the keyboard, starts tossing out orange pick after orange pick. Then jian, I *think* mentions something along the lines of "this is how it always is. It's like that with hotel rooms too. Mike and Dave have 6 hotel rooms between them, and Murray and I are huddled in the little corner by the ice machine. Sure, just cause thier the "talented" ones..." Up until about 6 months ago, this is how we thought bands lived-- sleeping in hallways of hotels. We'd see Mike and Dave go down the hall, and just thought they'd found the other ice machine." Dave:pssst... mike... wake up buddy... yeah, I'm just gonna go in the other room and try the bed. Mike: And dave and I go to get ice, and tell tehm "8am wake up call. And look sharp." OK, that was a woefully inadequate rendition of a very funny exchange. I may have to turn into one of those poeple whio takes notes ;-) On a personal note, I set a personal record, seeing 4 shows in two weeks-- 3 of them in the same week. And what a week it was. On Monday I brought my college roommate, who is evolving into quite a nice little fruhead ;-) On Wednesday I brought my friend Jen, for her second show. It was great fun to see her, probably the lone republcian in the room, react to "Your new boyfriend" and the intro to "King of Spain." If anyone heard the cheers for Giulianni-- that was her ;-) On Thursday I brought my friend Sue. Sue is a transplanted Canadian, and when I first mentioned the band to her, she gave me that "wow, I remember them-- they're still together?" response. After nearly getting her to the Seaport show, I got her to her first fruvous show on thursday, 7 years aftrer she had to miss them playing at her college pub. She told me (and later murray ;-) stories of how when she went on exchange to Germany, she was living in a house with 30 Casnadians, and at night when they'd walk around the Black Forest, singing their songs. Her post show comment: "Well, I figured they'd be entertaining, but I never expected them to be *that* good." yay ;-) It's been a wonderful 2 weeks, and I'm already in withdrawal. I've also come to the conclusiuon that the lot of you scare the hell out of me when I see you wandering about at the shows. So I apologize to all the people I saw but chickened out of saying hi to, or those I did say hi too and then promptly scurried away. Someday perhaps I will get over this. Til then, I just lurk in the back with my friends ;-) ~jen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Nobody likes you when you're 23"-- Blink 182 "Do you know that you are very strong?"-- Grover "Measure your life in love."--Rent ------------------------------ Date: 05 Dec 1999 06:16:12 GMT From: fruvousgirl@aol.comspamfree (Angela) Subject: Re: ot: VH Jacey7 writes: >Anyway, this vertical horizon outfit has me intrigued, so what's the best >album >of theirs to start with?

You're right - December 6th will be the 10th anniversary of what is now known as the "Montreal Massacre" In 1989, a man entered an engineering class at a school in Montreal. He separated the men from the women, then lined up the women and systematically shot them. 14 women were killed in total. It was a terrible tragedy that is mourned and remembered by Canadians every year. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: 05 Dec 1999 14:09:37 GMT From: leaben@aol.comBender (Leah Bender) Subject: Re: Behavior during opening acts. >I was honestly about to cry before >Gordan cheered me up by calling her the Anti-Früvous...

Chantry) Subject: Review: Albany! 12/4/99 Again, I apologize for my long-windedness... There's a straight set list at end. First, I have to give some kudos to Russell Wolff, the opening act. He handled the Früheads so well, had the greatest time ever, and played good music. I never get tired of watching up-and-coming musicians enjoying themselves. He was just overwhelmed by the response and it was awesome to watch. Plus, he's funny. Highlight of his banter... with the gnomes making another appearance, he started the night well when he said, "I reached down for my water and I wasn't sure which gnome's head to suck on." Anyway, the guy's great and his album is great (I couldn't resist buying it). www.russellwolff.com That's all about that. So Moxy... general comments: Dave started out looking like death, but he got better as the night progressed. They all looked tired, to tell you the truth. And there were some real gems in the way of banter, but the music was nothing extraordinary (for Moxy, I mean... after all, isn't Früvous always extraordinary). There were some highlights, of course, so here's my commentary in full. Opening: Substitutes. (Well, it wasn't the most energized opener I've seen.) Set: Half as Much. (Great for picking up the pace/ energy for them and us.) A quick nod to all the "Albanians" (of course!) and we were off! Jian: [random drunk guy who yelled "I love pie!" (Mike was wearing his "I love pie" shirt) must be a "spiritual brother to Mr. Mike Ford." Horseshoes. Quickly, the guys proceeded to thank the Northern Lights staff for covering up the huge "MOLSON" that had been serving as the backdrop. Leave it to Jian to articulate the band's ideological issues with the endorsement. However, the staff left the last 'N' uncovered and Jian explained the real reason they had asked the staff to cover the "MOLSO": This show was being brought to us by the letter 'N.' 'N' is for Northern, 'N' is for Nexus, 'N' is for Nipple! (Look out for the mass of nipple jokes coming in honor of Russ Wolff, whose new record is called "Nipple." The guy was even giving out rubber nipple key chains.) Jian: It's "pie to the nth degree!" The Letter N Theme Song (a mostly instrumental groove). N is for gnomes!?! Murray: "See how unselfish the letter 'N' is?... 'I'll give 'g' the first letter.'" BJ Don't Cry. (the fresh line was something about Russ Wolff's nipple) Then some banter about Jian's hair product, which was presently drooling all over his face. Highlights... Murray: "If you want my advice, go for the afro." Jian: calls Murray Christopher Walken. Murray: suggests Jian lick it off his face. Dave: "I got some stuff for [your hair]." Jian: "Nair?" Independence Day (with echo). Then some banter about the procreating gnomes (they had doubled since the last time). (Procreating but all male??) Bad but wonderfully entertaining puns. Mike: "They must have split up into chromos-gnomes." Jian: "...zy-gnomes." Dave: "I guess they couldn't find their way gnome." Somehow, Jian split off into making the crowd feel sorry for him as he launched into... Fly. (I thought this was terrific tonight. Impassioned. Although, in their state of mind, I expected to find this emotion in a rendition of Homeward Bound - or Gnome-ward Bound, Amanda?) Then Murray picked up one of Russ' nipples that someone had thrown on stage and commented on the size of the nipple. Then back to the gnomes... mention of the gnomes' nemesis introduced... Present Tense Tureen. (Dave did not look good at all.) Johnny Saucep'n. (A rockin' version. I felt that this was the point at which the show really started picking up. It got more and more energized from this point on.) Lazyboy. (Same as above) Banter (if it can be called that) about "Virtual Insanity" with Mike in his "ghetto" hat. This was when Mike started getting violent. He kicked his first gnome. Yes, Mike was definitely in a violent mood last night. I think he needed a release. Good thing it was the gnomes and not the front-row Früheads! Then some banter about American exploitation of Canada for things like shoes. Pisco Bandito. (Can there be any doubt as to how absolutely cool Murray looks when he sings this song? He's got the greatest stance, no?) Grandpa Früvous, who also seemed to be acting as mentor to the karate kid, introduced... Minnie the Moocher. Great verse about Star Trek, for all you Trekkies/ers out there. Banter about Früvous... Jian: we're aspiring to be "the next Olivia Newton John" and "giving the They Might Be Giants newsgroup a run for their money." (At which point everyone in the front row stage Murray looked at Lawrence. Hm.) Disco Bargainville (with only one false start... In the middle, Mike and Murray were trading guitar lines and Jian said, "I feel like I'm in a porn video... not in a bad way.) Splatter Splatter. (Mike hit his head on the mic. I thought that was sort of funny.) I Will Hold On. Random spurts of "We wear short shorts." Then Mike puts his "ghetto" hat back on and we get "Can't Touch This" and "2 Legit 2 Quit." They had fun with this. With Mike keeping his hat on (I think he grew an attachment to it), they went into... My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors. Gotta love Jian's "I was looking straight" and Murray's "my crucifiction." Why did I laugh at those even though I'd heard them a million time? I'm so easy (no comments). A nod to frütripping, specifically Frücon and... Get in the Car. Your New Boyfriend. Psycho Killer. (Mike went insane kicking the gnomes again.) Encore 1: Jian: "A song from our new album, 'Pyromania'" Michigan Militia. (I must have had the worst seat ever for this, but I couldn't understand an ounce of what went through the distorter. What made up for it twenty times over? Dave's banjo broke and he just put it down and started doing this really silly dance. It was good to see him being silly and having a good time.) Encore 2: Introduced by "...corrective surgery posterboy, Mike Ford" as... a monarch with a mane and four legs (Mike sings "Can You Feel the Love Tonight") and as Charlie Brown (Mike does the Peanuts "teacher voice")... King of Spain. Green Eggs and Ham. (two high energy Dave songs in a row... wow. This man is a saint... a saint pumped up on beer, cigarettes, and cold medicine... of course, the highlight was when Mike took out a matchbook and started *burning* one of the gnomes) Then Toby went around and collected all the gnomes and threw the bag out into the audience (I hope they got their gnomes back okay). Encore 3: Drinking Song. So, it was a lovely show. It really picked up towards the end and, as all Früvous shows tend to do, it put me in a great mood! : ) Everyone but Dave came out at the end, wearied and dragging, but there nonetheless. My recent Früfriend, Bailey, will have to explain it to you, but we found out that Murray is Faust. Despite being in the middle of final exams, it was well worth the journey. Please everyone have a lovely, safe holiday season. I will see many of you for New Year's! Cheers!

Um, well, I just don't see any Fruvous fans throwing their bras at the stage. Going THAT nuts over the guys, repeating the Beatle-mania. I mean, we're maniacs, all right, but it is expressed more in chocolate than in underwear. The "dirty-lookers," as you call them, certainly had every right to look dirty at the idiot who threw a battery at the stage some time ago, which hit Jian (do I remember correctly?). Etiquette?

The >conversation came down to telling people how to enjoy their show. >(sing-don't sing if youre gonna do thisor that, stand here or there) I guess, I don't understand the above. Could you give an example of what you're talking about? I'll give one of what I'm talking about. Last night, I was at the Northern Lights club/bar in Clifton Park, NY. Knowing full well that it was a bar, I was expecting to smell the cigarette smoke. However, the venue is *big*. There was a pretty tightly-packed crowd in front of the stage, but the rest of the venue (including the tables/arcade area, the bar, and the merch/pool area) was much more sparsely populated. I was in the stage crowd, but I left for some reason and then came back. Two people who had been standing right near me had lit up, and were smoking right in the middle of the crowd. All of a sudden, I: a) found myself in dire need of my Primatene, which I hadn't thought to bring, perhaps foolishly; and b) could not hide the expression of disgust on my face (though I'm not sure either of them saw it, thank goodness). Did they have every right to smoke wherever the hell they wanted? Of course, it's a bar, deal with it. But I *still* think that they lacked common courtesy. They could have stepped out of the crowd (there were enough people to hold their place for them) so that they wouldn't have to subject everyone around them to their addiction. Cigarettes are a really touchy subject with me in general (close contact with lung cancer of a loved one for over three years now will do that to you), plus I just hate the smell anyway. Why did they assume that it'd be okay to smoke right in the *middle* of a tight crowd, when they had other options? What do you think I should've done, Lynne? For the record, I did nothing. I got as far away from them as I could, and gritted my teeth. [me] >>Would you go to (say) a classical music show and start whistling or >>humming in the middle of a piece?
