ouch... my band opened for 16 bitch pile up last year and eventhough they weren't loud they still were interesting because eventhough they can be derivative they actually did something within a reasonable time frame that held alot of people's interest (it was a 15 minute set)... and they did it without being extremely loud.
besides i must say they were really cool and nice women, they really dug us, we were quite loud and aggressive.. i've been finding that with about 1/2 of shows we've done the main act who follows us is tentative and apprehensive of the situation because its like we've harnassed all the momentum from a show into our set, nothing to brag about because alot of times in these situations i feel bad about for the "headlining" act. sometimes you come away with playing a great set, others are real bummers... little middle ground especially in noise music. i must admit that performing this form of music is alot more gratifying than listening to it, thats if you can enjoy yourself (suprisingly enough i know alot of peopel who just can't and won't enjoy themselves no matter what they are doing)... I think of all people Coco made a similar quote in the recent article/interview on SY in the recent Filter mag.
though, i doubt that we will blow the doors off this thursday when we open for the Flying Luttenbachers... Weasel Walter is a sick dude.
