...tonight, much to everyones suprise, Goat Punishment played a show at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood. What songs did they play? What was it like? Who else played? Who was there? Like most of us, I was not there, though that situation will change by the time of the next Phantom Goats show, the details of which are slowly coming into focus...like the the clues did for Johnny Depp's character in "From Hell". His vitriolic ruminations solved the case, like a boa constrictor or some other great serpent, narrowing in on its prey.

*whew* ...anyway, I hope to get some official word and hopefully some pix from Sheeny the Organized, and I welcome any fan accounts of this show as well. any new info gathered about this show will be added to *this post*, even if new posts are put up in the meantine. Thanks!

...UPDATE: here it is, the Sheeny Report!

Los Angeles- Knitting Factory
"There was a great air of excitement and anticipation all day at the Knitting Factory, both within the band and with the crowd. It’s a very small, intimate club and proves to be a perfect platform for shows like HBO’s Reverb. Soundcheck looked and sounded really amazing on the monitors and it was obvious that the evening was going to be very special.
"By the time the room was filled with eager Weezer fans the anticipation was almost unbearable. AM Radio did well to hold off a few over-eager Weezer fans and did a feisty set that turned more than a few of the crowd to their favor. Weezer then took the stage and delivered a s-weet 15 song set. There was the usual shouting for the oldies but no one there seemed to mind that they were being held privy to a batch of never before heard songs-- they just rocked so much you couldn’t. Almost half of the setlist consisted of songs that were premiered live here-- Faith In the Light, My Weakness, Change the World, The Dawn, Living Without You. It was a big night in Weezer history and everyone there seemed to realize what a great experience it was to see them in this type of setting. If the airing of the show on HBO captures even half of the mood in that room, it’s going to be awesome."
