5_moves_of_doom 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2004 I'll make this as short and sweet as I possibly can. Just picked up one of Built to Spill's albums. Thought it was really good. Coincidentially, I discovered that they're playing near me in 10 days for $16. So, the question is -- for anyone who knows much about them -- are they any good live? Would it be worth it? Thanks to anyone who answers. Sorry the post is so brief, but I just want to know as soon as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2004 Yeah, I think so. Some people complain that band has no stage presence; anyone who says that has a valid point—Doug Martsch never looks comfortable if he isn't staring at his guitar—so you'd have to really be a fan of the music, which, fortunately, is strong enough.

You've got little to lose by checking them out ... I'd say go and then let us know what you thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2004 They're actually playing 2 nights in Boston at the end of September, so I might actually go check them out as well ... pending your 'review' of the show. If it sounds worth going to, I'll probably check out one of the Boston shows, or maybe the Friday show at Lupo's in RI, just because how cool Lupo's is.
