Fucking awsome show in seattle at chop suey last night!
They had a 7 piece band consisting of Samplers, turn-tables,
fem. vox. drums, sax, bass and keys. the set list was as
follows:
First two tracks were new stuff.
3rd came 'burnout' off of everyday
4th was an extended 2part version of 'evolution' off of
everyday. the second half being totally different from the
album version and recognizable only by the lyrics.
5th was 'durian' (i think) off of motion; smokey as hell,
almost creepy, into a second half with much more energy.
6th was 'man with the movie camera' off of everyday. some
awsome sapranino sax and a really amazing drum solo. this
went into a second part that may have been a live mix of
'And Relax!' off of motion
for the encore they played:
a great version of 'ode to the big sea' off of motion which
went into a cool duo of the tenor sax and dj kinda
"battling" while everyone else left the stage. he is an
amazing sax player.
They ended with another new track i didn't recognize that
was a real bassy growler

overall, it was a great show. the sound was good, the
audience was deffinately 'feeling it' for lack of a better
term. the opener dj that i caught, j-justice, (i think) was
so-so. he kept scratching in beats that just kinda killed
the rhythm but his selection was good and included some
latin jazz as well as some more contemporary jazz. didn't
matter though. C.O. was on fire last night and i recommend
this show to anyone who has a chance to go. fuck that
'they're too jazzy for my tastes' bull-shit. this is good
fucking music and these guys/gal's improv skills are unreal.

i missed it
i am sad :(
priorities required that i deal with girl troubles in lieu
of attending show.
all is well though :)

is there anyone here who doesn't hate mr. evolume? it's an
irrefutable fact that he is the biggest bastard here.

thying was composed to a silent movie which is projected
behind them on stage.
