| Tech Notes | Comets On Fire San Francisco august 2004 01-06 Thee Parkside, 20 aug 04 07-10 Great American Music Hall, 25 aug 04 01 intro jam > 02 The Bee And The Cracking Egg 03 Whiskey River 04 The Antlers Of The Midnight Sun 05 unknown 06 Beneath The Iceage 07 intro jam > 08 The Bee And The Cracking Egg 09 Whiskey River 10 Beneath The Iceage Ethan Miller - guitar, vocals Ben Flashman - bass Ben Chasny - guitar Noel Harmonson - echoplex, electronics Utrillo Kushner - drums Two very similar, yet very different, sets/recordings from the Bay Area's (via Santa Cruz) psychedelic noise rock band's shows soon after the release of 'Blue Cathedral'. Thee Parkside is a small rock&roll bar with an under-powered PA, so the mix is very guitar heavy. The Great American is a classic small, stately, theater, with a nice PA that makes the vocals, echoplex/electronics, and drums more than subliminal. The former was a headlining set (it might have been the "record release" show), hence the greater length. The latter was opening for Black Dice & Animal Collective (nope, didn't record 'em, sorry), so the set is of "opener" length. I'd probably rate the first as "B" (B+ if you're a guitarist, B- if you're a drummer) and the second as "B+". Comets On Fire are also known for opening for Julian Cope in winter 2005, and for being the rock band that Ben Chasney (aka Six Organs of Admittance) performs with (as opposed to the folk/psych combo, Badgerlore, that he also plays with).
