Back in our college years, Jen & I saw an overly vapid performance from Supergrass at DC’s beloved 9:30 Club. That evening came as a huge shock as it was my first experience with the band in a live setting and I was expecting nothing short of brilliance. It was also particularly upsetting since I was mildly obsessed with their self titled LP (released in 1999) and spun its singles regularly on my radio show. Thankfully, last night’s set was a vast improvement from that disappointing soiree. Juggling tracks from their new release, Diamond Hoo Ha, with a series of older selections, Supergrass had the sold out crowd eating out of their respective palms. Particular highlights include ‘Mary’, ‘Moving’ & ‘Diamond Hoo Ha Man’, ‘Lenny’ & ‘Caught By The Fuzz’. Photos & MP3 below.
We have the following goodies up for grabs:
GRAND PRIZE:
-2 tix for NYC’s Webster Hall gig on 7/30

Danny Goffey shares the following with Spinner: *”I really like Elliott Smith. He’s one of the only artists who makes me cry. I’m a big girl, really. I read this book about Elliott Smith and he said a few weeks before he died, he came to see us play supporting Radiohead and said we were one of his favorite bands. That was really nice because we had been fans of his for a while.”* Enjoy an MP3 at bottom of post.
