Q and not U played their Final Shows
"So I finally had the "existential vacation" I had been attempting at. Thursday and Friday was the last 2 q and not u shows which were so amazing. Today was the Operation Cease fire protest in DC. they said 300,000 people marched today. The Bellrays are amazing." [emptycalm's livejournal]
"q and not u's last song played together was "Soft Pyramids"." [lost's livejournal]
"So. This is what all the blogeoise skipped Q & Not U's last NY shows for? I don't know who you bloggaz get your scenester marching orders from, but something's awry. At least diversify a little. If Gothamist Jen sends five of you to Maroon 5 or Taking Back Sunday, at least one of you should break ranks and check something fresh and fleeting. Or maybe I'm missing something; does Anton's urine have some euphoric effect as it drizzles down your cochleae? Well, at any rate, it was a terrific show from an oddly underrated band going out on the way up. [A commenter in my BJM post]

chris richards is touring as ris paul ric. i don't know if the other members have any plans.
i went to one of the final shows (the early show) and haven't had a chance to post photos yet. they were great.

q's last song was disappointing but i never saw chris so optimistic and energized.

i didn't have much interest in catching the final q and not u shows, the crowds that show up at the black cat don't do it for me these days - but i hope i didn't miss out on matt their old bassist showing up to do some songs from no kill no beep beep. going from a four to a three-piece, they never rocked out that well again.
ted leo and the pharmacists were excellent at operation ceasefire. on the giant screens they got in some great shots from the back of the stage, him performing with the washington monument out in front, gave me chills.
