Tuxedomoon’s return to San Francisco

tux tong at du nord Tuxedomoons return to San Francisco

I suppose I should follow up on last week’s Tuxedomoon post as well. I did attend the show last Saturday and unfortunately I found it a pretty wearying affair. There were some highlights to be sure — I especially enjoyed “Desire” — but at the end it basically reminded me that this band was a time and a place for me, and I’m not there anymore. Of course having arrived at the show after two margaritas at a friend’s birthday dinner probably didn’t help things either.

For a better review, hop on over to what Guanoboy had to say about the show over at his excellent blog, GrapeJuicePlus. (If you dig arty 80s synthpop oddities, boy does Guanoboy have the blog for you!) We were apparently standing right next to each other, so let’s just say that our perspectives were pretty close.

    haha…

    oh boy…it’s funny, everyone who went to the show had completely different descriptions. No one seem elated, though, although I was probably the most content.

    thanks for the linkage, standing next to each other, shame we didn’t meet.

    heya thnx i’ve always been meaning to check out Tuxedomoon.

    this might interest you – i used to live in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East from around ’91 to ’98. you still can’t really buy non-commercial western music out there, because records generally need mass appeal and international distributors to get all the way out there… so it’s pretty interesting to see what passes for “commercial” music. of course, by ’98 you could buy Fugazi and Sonic Youth and even Stockhausen if you searched hard enough… but my point is: i remember walking into what used to be a popular CD store (in a shopping mall) – it was known for its super discount prices and music no one wanted to buy (ha ha, making it non-commercial, i.e. THE GOOD STUFF), which eventually made it go bankrupt so they were having a massive ultra-mega-discount closing sale!… and i remember seeing an entire 10 ft. long shelf of Tuxedomoon reissues, there must’ve been at least 500 copies at around $2 each.

    just a little anecdote in case you ever wondered what really happens to some of the gazillions of CDs produced each year!

    peace.
