Tin Armor, Zaza, Pains of Being Pure at Heart @ Summit

robertduffy · **Posted:** Sat May 02, 2009 8:42 am

Only caught one Tin Armor song. I feel like I could like them if I saw an entire set.

Zaza... Ok, the music was fine (maybe played 2 songs too long) but the lights that they put onstage, that then shone in the mirror that then annoyed lots of people in the crowd.. f you!!!! i had to rig a mirror reflection box to save some of the people standing around me... lame

I enjoyed Pains of Being Pure at Heart at SXSW, but I was worried that when I saw them I was on SXSW Happy Pills..... But last night they were also great... loved their set, they did an encore, didnt play Batman for Don B, and one of the dudes wore a Used Kids tshirt.

good stuff.

so Ahmed and those dudes from Born Ruffians and Franz Ferdinand came to the show.

superfan of Pains decides he gonna try to drunk talk with Alex from Franz

superfan tells Alex that his band rips off Gang of Four

Alex bops the superfan and goes in for the sleeperhold

there's a kerfluffle

Post grabs Alex and superfan by the scruffs, hands superfan to other Franz dude, who hustles him out front as Post walks Alex out.

Alex and other Franz dude take a walk, superfan twatted immediately: 'you'll never guess what i just did.'

drummer from Franz shrugs, i tell him that in Columbus it's de rigeur for drunks to try to rip on things they like when they're happy, like burning cars after a football win. he said he was glad Post stopped Alex before he killed superfan.

Was this kid doing or saying anything else annoying? Cuz really...I'd think that the bassist for Franz would hear that from somebody at every stop.

This is how I heard it went down from someone who claims to have witnessed the exchange...

Kid: Hey, you guys suck - all you do is rip-off Gang of Four.
Franz Dude: That's bullshit, man. What do you do?
Kid: I am a writer.
Franz Dude: How would you feel if I told you that you sucked and that you ripped-off a famous author or something?
Kid: You couldn't say that though, because I am completely original - I don't rip people off like you guys.
Franz Dude: You need to take that back.
Kid: No way, because it's true.
Franz Dude: Take it back.
Kid: No.

Franz Dude punches him and puts him in a headlock. Post proceeds to kick them both out of the bar.

Then the Franz Dude (and another Franz Dude) went to Rumba and an afterhours party and by all accounts were pretty cool fellas.

it's this tough-guy hardcore attitude that keeps me away from these out of control Pains of Being Pure at Heart and British Sea Power shows.

no-one mentioned that being at this show was like being underwater...it was like a little humid. they were better than the tape i got of them playing playing in new york in may, though, and bob, (if ya dunno and wanna know) that encore was 'kurt cobain's cardigan,' which isn't as good as the parallelograms side of the split but is still awesome. ("do you guys wanna hear a song about junkies or a sweater? trick question.") afterwards at bobo was funny, just the same elvis costello record over and over until dude put on some sabbath record i like really wanted to hear finally. air conditioning tho'. well by funny i mean like i was laughing a lot.
