Minibar
Waz
The More

February 19, 2004 - Crocodile - Seattle, WA
    

Waz was wonderful. He started a bit early, so the venue was still kinda empty. It felt a little weird. Someday more people will know of him and come to appreciate his work. I don't have a tracklisting of his set, but he did songs off of his EP as well as some new tracks.

The More was the second band. I listened to a bit of their stuff and they were alright. I would've stayed if the screeching of the mic didn't go off every other minute. My brother and I headed off to the bar area of the Croc where we saw Waz, Minibar, and of course my friends.

While my brother stayed on that side of the venue I went over to the merch booth where Simon was writing out the set lists. I was introduced to him earlier that night (yet again). I did asked to see if they would do "Sheer Volume." They didn't do it, because when another guy came up and asked for an "oldie" Simon mentioned that they wanted to push some of the new material. That I could understand. 

Minibar rocked the place! The Croc definitely has better sound than the Tractor Tavern. Even though I didn't find my spot until the last minute I was able to get close to the stage. About 3 other gals around me were taking photographs. I was too.

Here's the setlist. Although I think they changed a few things: Crash & Burn, Desert, New Mexico, Wide Open (my fav), Radar, Biker, Crime Scene, Unstoppable, Soho, and Somebody. Twice Simon's strings broke and he ended up having to use Waz's guitar. Mal was fantastic as usual and I think Tim and Sid like to switch sides of the stage? So since I was close on Sid's side again I whisked away his set list after the show.

Afterwards, there was just mingle time. I got to meet Waz (whom I couldn't say a decent sentence around), Mal (whom I also couldn't say a decent thing around either) and he signed my poster, and Simon (I was speechless). LOL. I said goodbye to my friends, and really had a great time at the Croc. Life is better on the inside!
