OK all So what can you tell me about this camp fruvous? What has been decided- about meeting before hand? is there going to by some marking that it's the frucamp? Because I have never met any of you...I mean I'm pretty sure that I keep seeing some of you at shows. However I never feel comfortable just going over to see if they're you guys. Plus the fact that once you realize that that annoying camera girl at all those concerts is me you probably won't talk to me any more. Right now I'm trying to get the Falconridge people to let me shoot from infront of the barriers. I just can't get the right shot from in the crowd any more. I would love it if I could go back to school that next week with awesome photos of fruvous for my press class that would rock. OK so I've gone a rambling...sorry.

That's for sure! I had no experience in actually being able to flash a smile at any of them until VA Beach (they should play there more often!!) but live is always better. In fact, dad was commenting that the reason they'll probably never make it really really big is that the CDs just can't compare to live! Which is true if you ask me.. tho the CDs are good.. the shows are better.

The Westmont Theater is on Haddon Ave. in Westmont. From Philly: Take the Ben Franklin Bridge out of the city. Follow directional signs for Route 70 East. Ignore the seedy motels and porn stores on Admiral Wilson Blvd. (though spotting a prostitute will earn you 10 points :-)). Continue onto Route 70. Look for Bishop Eustace Preparatory School on the right. Honk and wave - that's where I went to high school :-). Anyway, keep going about a half-mile and look for Cuthbert Blvd. on the right side. Take the first exit for Cuthbert (I think the sign says Oaklyn/Collingswood, but I'm not positive; don't take the Merchantville exit, at any rate). Continue on Cuthbert through two lights. The third light is Haddon Avenue. There will be a WaWa on the left on your side, a gas station on the far left corner, and a JFKFC on the far right corner. Make a left. Continue about a mile; the theater has a large marquee, and parking sucks. Just park in the lot of one of the shopping centers or on a side street.

It and KoS had pretty heavy play on Much > Music when Bargainville first came out. I think this show was something of a milestone. From my observations in the past, Fruvous has generally tended to play very Bargainville-heavy sets when playing in Ontario, due to the fact that the General public there DOES seem to only know those songs. I think it took guts to do what they did Sunday (only one Bargainville song, and NO KOS!), but I think it paid off. The show went well. The crowd was happy despite the fact that they didn't know the material and they didn't get the KOS that they were screaming for. The band should feel good about the show, and hopefully will have confidence that they can sell their new stuff to Canadians without the constant comparisons to Bargainville. My thoughts on the show: Overall I thought it went really well. The crowd was pretty big (I'll send Chris a couple of pics so hopefully you will all get to see how big) and the energy was good. I was surprised at how much new material they did, and how well it went together. Also I want to say that the new stuff sounded much tighter and more polished than I've ever heard it. Even When She Talks (which I've stated before is NOT my favorite new song) sounded quite good. The songs also felt more their own somehow, weird as that may sound. As far as the issue of the backing vocals on IWHO, I miss them because I liked the way they sounded, but I totally see why they have nixed them. The song's lyrics are so strong that you really can't afford to cover them up with backing vocals. Although the sound isn't quite as nice, the impact of the song as a whole is far greater, because you actually listen to the words. - -- Mariaweb last updated 5/13/99.
