Nice Gesture....
Dear D.C. band, Gestures,
Fuck you.
Fuck you hard (and yes, I'm specifically looking at the doofus playing trombone solos).
You wanna play Ft. Reno? By all means do it. It's a fine institution, and every band should get the chance. And by golly, I'm glad you got yours'.
You wanna have a non-traditional line-up? Go for it. Horns, two drummers and a moog? Sounds pretty crazy to me, but have at it. Could be just the thing we've all been waiting for.
You got the 7:15 slot?
Well, then get your fucking band there in time to load in and sound-check. If you're missing a band member or two to traffic or work? Guess what, Tommy Dorsey...Thin the fucking herd and move on without them. (It just might leave more room for preposterous trombone runs that no doubt had Mangelsdorff rolling in his grave).
Alternately, you just might shorten your silly ass set.
But don't start the night half an hour late, then proceed to play a full set of half-assed, weak free jazz arrangements played in poor time.
Three bands, kids. Three bands. Try and play nice in the sandbox so everyone can sample a little something from each band. With storm clouds rolling in at the early portion of the Moderate's set, it was only too clear that Bellman Barker was getting the shaft tonight.
Nice GESTURE....fucking rookies.
