 Post subject: thank you eisley / DEEP ELLUM SHOW RESPONSEPosted: Thu Oct 02, 2003 7:03 pm 
i've just had a criminally satisfying couple of days. drove from austin to houston to see radiohead. they were phenomenal. i have some little low-quality video clips i caught with my camera when security wasn't looking. i will try to post a link to these soon. crashed at my friend's place in houston (poor guy, got sick and couldn't make the show. his will call ticket is still sitting at the box office). drove straight from houston to dallas, for what would be my second eisley show. i left right after eisley's set, and now i've just gotten back from dallas, safe and sound, away from all of the crazy crazy houston and dallas drivers. eisley's show was amazing. the icing on the cake of my musical mid-week. brought my little bro. he'd never seen eisley. he loved it immensely. so i really just wanted to thank the band, for playing their beautiful music, and waiting for me when my camera was being stupid, and signing stuff (even if you might not actually be on the recording). and i wanted to thank boyd for being the nicest guy ever. i'll be happy to help carry equipment again anytime  .. can't wait for the austin and houston shows!
oh and i also have pics/little video clips from the dallas show. if it's ok, and i get permission from somebody, i'll post these as well. and now i'm exhausted and will fall asleep. good night. _________________ hello. |

Another wiz-bang performance from Eisley. All the new tunes are sounding wonderful. I brought four "newbies" to the Eisley experience, and they all came away very happy and impressed. The cd is good, but the live show goes that extra step (beyond). Thanks for starting off the New Music Fest with some flare. I had a great time seeing some great music tonight. Austin may be the "live music capital of the world", but from what I saw tonight, Dallas could give it a run for it's money... can't wait for tomorrow and Saturday...

Post subject: last night Posted: Fri Oct 03, 2003 4:22 am
last night i heard something really cool. on one of the newer songs, weston played kick and snare in regular 3/4 time, and concurrently, he played his (sleigh bells?) in 4/4. I'm sure you drummers have a term for that kind of syncopation, but I just noticed it, and thought it was neat. show was cool. bye bye. |

I wanna carry equipment! I'm used to carrying my own gear, so I'd be extra careful. |

ah quadruplets? i think thats what ya call em. the viola section had to play quintuplets in orchestra once. that was neat. my sister plays this song on piano where it is thirteen notes stretched out of like three beats. i don't know what you call that. but it sounds neat. |

I hijacked this thread since there are comments about this show all over the place. Thought I'd try to funnel some thoughts about eisley's set or any experiences you guys had into one caldron of digital ooze. I will certainly post some images and try to cover the story in "Finding Eisley" like I always do (do try). And, as I've said somewhere on this forum today, I will try to grab video and slam down a QT movie of that very cool, mysterious song that Stacy and Sherri kicked the set off with. That's Stacy music/Sherri lyrics...but Weston gets the credit for the idea to do it. All of you are amazing. Nobody in this house deserves you cool people. Ya'll are way cooler than us. But, it's awesome for us all to get to hang out and revel in music that we all like anyway. ohmygosh..the weather; amazing. No words to describe; The night...the air; the people; it was one of those I won't forget. Again, thanks for being so cool everybody. Slamming gear in the trailer is fun. Who will help me white wash the fence next time?
