I haven't listened to the show yet, but I do agree that sometimes they just phone it in. It's not like no one's listening, dudes. Maybe they just figure we're going to go no matter what, in which case the quote from bittersweet motel is finally right on target. You vote with your pocketbook, as they say. The first night of gorge was great, the second so-so. It's getting harder and harder to justify forking out the cash and the travel expenses to get unrehearsed BS.

This performance of “Waking Up Dead” was on par with the Coventry “Glide” as one of the most embarrassing moments of this band’s career. Flubs are one thing, but that was a disaster. It didn’t sound like “Keepin’ it Real” was rehearsed well, either. You’d think you’d want to make a good first impression with a debut.

Second set was pretty good, but the first set really soured me on this show. I don’t expect first sets to wow me like second sets in terms of exploration, but at least give enough of a shit to practice your songs before taking people’s money for them to listen to it. This performance was lazy and unprofessional.
