This past Friday night: Sebadoh and Qui. Sebadoh were solid, and Qui was the best opening act I've seen in quite some time. This duo from LA (guitarist/bassist/vocalist and drummer/keyboardist/vocalist) played with an amazing intensity and creativity--kind of like a post industrial apocalypse early Pixies, with a lot of shifting rhythms but a broader musical arsenal than Pixies ever had. And with all due respect to Sebadoh, if both bands came back to my town to different clubs on the same date at the same time, I would see Qui. Catch this band if you can.
