What else can you say about these guys? I've seen quite a few shows over the years and I, nor my friend Mike, could not remember seeing an opening band receive the screaming requests for an encore they gave Fruvous. I was still a little confused about why Moxy was opening for the Violent Femmes and not the other way around. I can only remember the Femmes first album and maybe two songs from 1986. But apparently they've released 8 albums in the last twelve years or so, so they get top billing. Anyway, they combined to easily sell out a nice-sized venue. It looked to me like the crowd was about a 40-60 split. A lot of people there had never seen Moxy before (as evidenced by the usual poll Jian takes). But they won them over. I heard some people behind me saying, "Hey, I like these guys." I got to hear a few new songs I hadn't heard on this tour and I got to talk to Jian and Mike afterwards. Their show itself was pretty hyper-paced with not a whole lot of banter, but it's always funny to watch them incite the crowd by calling them hippies and geeks and throwing around Femme references even Femme-heads may not have picked up on. Mike at one point asked if there was any truth to the rumour that they considered changing their name to the "Militant Femmes?" Dave played a great King of Spain and avoided bad puns during the evening as far as I could tell. Jian was unusually humble, probably because they felt outnumbered, but there were plenty of Fru-heads and Fru-jerseys and Fru-buttons and Jason Reiser's microphone to clearly establish a presence. It's always amazing to me with the number of fans they have, the details they remember about you when they see you (I know I'm not the only one). I haven't seen them play since May, and I don't think I've talked to Mike in nearly a year, but he remembered where he last saw me, he remembered dropping my name in BJ Don't Cry that day and he remembered a Fruvous candle my brother made for him three years ago. And they're always like that! A couple of years ago, the guys were asking their fans what we would like to see or what they could do for us. I think that's how the whole Fru-Con thing started. Jian found me after a show and started to ask me that same question, but we were interrupted and I never got to answer. The fact that he was standing there asking me that question was all that any fan could ask for. I don't need Fru-Con, or prizes for travelling to shows (though I would have loved bowling and dancing with Dave). Just a simple, "Hi Bill. How've you been?" And they give me that every single time.

Cal eventually walked through the line, muttering not quite >under his breath about TSG. Darnell was definitely a character. Bouncer and entertainment and wait staff, all rolled into one. He kept us informed and entertained while waiting outside, and he even trained me how to do security at a show, and he sang, and he kept clearing all the bottles that were accumulating near the stage (well, on the stage, acutally) and even after the show, while a few of us were sitting there gabbing, he took drink orders for everyone. What a guy! The other character at The Vault was "Beer Chick". I never had the confidence to actually talk to her, but it seemed that no one else did, either. She just sood in front of two tubs full of beer bottles, more modeling beer than selling it. I'm still not sure exactly why she was there. And she was dressed, umm, rather provocatively for selling beer. (She was dressed rather provocatively for anything, really.) Even if selling beer was the reason she was there, it wasn't working very well, and the bar staff was very quick and attentive. Even between acts, there was almost no wait at the bar. So what was "Beer Chick" for? >The opening act was Amy Rigby. She was, well, disappointing. Her band wasn't >bad, but they were definitely generic bar band material. I seemed to like her music more than everyone else. There were a lot of sound problems, however. A group of us near the front deduced that there were supposed to be backup vocals for some of the songs only because the bass player and keyboardist were singing, but only because we saw their lips moving near a mic. And, the guitarist on stage right had a Murray haircut. It was kind of wierd for a minute, wondering what Murray doing onstage right then. >Early Morning Rain was a nice surprise, too. Definitley. The more I hear Murray sing, the more I want to hear him sing. I have never heard EMR before, by anyone, and I really, really, like it. >There was a great bit when Dave first strapped on the accordion and tried to >get Cal to adjust his levels. "The stomach can come down a little" he said, >so Mike gave him a hard time about using code, and started in with "Dogs >barking at midnight." This went on for a minute or so until Murray chimed in >with "Keep 'doing sound' Cal. Keep 'doing sound.'" I think that even though it is not a lyric, "doing sound" is my new favorite MF euphamism for you-know-what. >For some reason it seemed like >Murray was more in the spotlight than he is sometimes. In contrast, Dave >seemed more subdued. Mike and Jian were their normal, effervescent selves. And, as someone who is becoming a big Murray fan, I really enjoyed it. I also had the pleasure of standing inches from a huge bass speaker right under the stage, so I didn't just get to listen and watch Murray, but I felt his presence in a very real sense. It was terrific. >(I'd hoped they might play the new one, Grudge, but they didn't.) Once again, at this show, like every other MF show I have seen, there was at least one song that I had never heard played live before. This night, it was Half as Much and Early Morning Rain, both songs I want to hear again, and I am not sure if Blow Wind Blow counts or not. I wonder how many more shows I will have to go to until I don't hear a new song. Lisa, for whom this was her first MF concert asked late in the show if they were going to do something from Bargianville. I realized that they hadn't played anything at all from their first CD. It was the first show I have seen where I didn't hear Authors and River Valley. Of course, as Lisa was asking this, I saw Dave leave the stage and Mike head for the drums in back, so I knew we were going to get King of Spain, so I told Lisa not to worry. On reflection, I think it is fantastic that the band has such a catalog of songs that they all play well that they can choose from for each show, selecting each setlist based on venue, expected audience and how they guys feel that night, making each show different. It makes it that much more fun and desirable to get to as many shows as I can. My whole trip to this show started out looking not too good, but then just got better and better. Originally I had six friends who were going to show up, and one by one they cancelled, until the last person, who had even been to see MF before, bagged out on me. I ended up getting a ride to Baltimore with Wendy, and selling my friend's ticket to the woman in front of us in line, who turned out to be Autumn Patterson, whom I remembered meeting this past summer, but didn't recognize, because she was wearing a different shirt this night. Then, after the concert, the highlight of my night was when I got all four guys to sign my very own copy of "You WIll Go To The Moon" by Mae & Ira Freeman, during which Dave confirmed that it was definitely this book that inspired the song. I had a ball with Wendy and her brother and their friends, and Autumn and friends, and Lori-who-is-a-big-fan-but-who-doesn't-even-know-what-a-newsgroup-is, and her boyfriend, whose name I can't remember but who promised to start reading the group, and the other guy whose name I can't remember but who tried to explain what an acoustic-electric guitar was (I still don't get it.) and Lisa and Melzie and everyone else sort of right up in front of Jian. And I am sorry I didn't get a chance to meet all the other newsgroup folks who said they would be there. I know it was very, very crowded. Maybe next time. - --Rodney (Oops!
