All of the pictures I took are posted and there is no guarantee on quality. Some are really cool, and some are really funnily bad. Leave comments if you want.
For those of you unfamiliar with Qui, they're a rock band that's been around for a few years. They used to be a two-piece (guitar and drums), but recently acquired the infamous David Yow. This is sort of weird because it could almost seem like a marketing ploy: I know I wouldn't have heard of Qui or been interested if David Yow wasn't involved. BUT, the group really does have a good chemistry and a fairly new sound. Aside from Yow's brash croon, they don't sound too much like the Jesus Lizard. The melodies are similarly angular, but Matt Cronk's guitar work is much more traditional than Duane Denison's.
Overall, the set was a blast. Yow lost his shirt about two and a half times, spilled more beer than he drank, and his shout for more whiskey was actually successful this time (apparently last time he shouted to the audience about getting more to drink, someone handed him some change, which he then threw back at the audience). I picked up the new album, Love's Miracle, which is also solid (and which I'll also write about more formally later) but doesn't really compare to their live energy. The remaining dates on the tour are listed here, and you should definitely check them out if you're into the rock.
Three beers and a shot of captain. Excellent.
