Ours Concert - 9/17

Postby myownsatellite » 9/2/2008, 6:14 pm

Hi all,
Tom (locobone) and I are going to the Ours concert in Buffalo, NY (at the Tralf) on 9/17. For those who are unfamiliar, Ours is Jimmy Gnecco's band. Jimmy did a lot of work with Neverending White Lights, which is where I first heard him and found out about Ours. I'm super excited.

Is anyone else going to be around Buffalo at the time? Tickets are still available on Ticketmaster, they're $15 each (plus TM's fees), which is pretty sweet.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to it. Thanks to OLP for getting me into Ours!

(Raine --> NWL --> Jimmy --> Ours)

:love:

I saw them down here last year. I think they are from New Jersey. One of my friends is a huge fan and somewhat friends with them. I got to meet Jimmy.. He was pretty cool to me..

I know he does solo stuff from time to time. I am not much into them though. They were good when I saw them..

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

So this show last night was mind-blowing. First of all, I never realized Jimmy was so short and skinny! He looks so different in the pictures I've seen. It was hilarious watching him jump around on stage. So much energy! It was amazing to see them all perform, I am very unfamiliar with the band itself but now I want to get to know them better. I bought the new Mercy CD, and a couple t-shirts, and a sticker for my car. Yes, I am very satisfied with my concert experience. If you get the chance, you should really consider going to see them live! Jimmy also promised no more summer tours because he can't sing with the A/C on and it was SO HOT in the club everyone was sweating and gross.

I hope they do another tour soon, because seriously, one of the best shows I've ever been to. I can't wait to do it again.

Yooo

I don't post here (much) anymore, but I HAD to come out of hibernation when I saw an Ours thread. I love this band, I'm glad to hear your experience was awesome. I'm not sure if they're on the same tour but I saw them a few months ago and it was soooo effing hot there as well.

I agree though, they (or Jimmy solo) never fail to completely blow my mind everytime I see them. I was so frustrated when I saw them open for Circa Survive last year and there was nothing but boos and heckles from the crowd, I guess that also happened on the Marilyn Manson tour as well which is such a shame.

Okay,

I believe it's the same tour, but they took like a month off because they were burnt out. That's what Jimmy said anyway. He said he spent a week or two in Hawaii drinking every day and "swimming in the ocean naked with my sixteen year old son. It's not like that guys. We're just weird." It was hilarious.

The show was excellent. (Really dodgy) pics up of the show:

I would've taken pics with my digital camera but it melted in my hand. Holy Jesus, was it hot in there.

I was doing my bi-monthly lurk and saw this thread. I saw Ours like 5 or 6 years ago in Detroit and they were amazing live. They played for about 2 hours. Too bad I can't find any of there stuff to d/l.

Hi! Yeah, they played just under two hours and it was awesome. <3

Also, you can try to d/l it from me off the Hub if you tell me when you'd be on. Although I think I'm in passive mode (can't figure out how to change it to active), so I'm not sure you'd be able to!
