Nada Surf review

October 28, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Well Nada Surf was a big fat disappointment. They didn’t play “Popular,” and I don’t blame them. But, after doing a short survey/making assumptions about the people around me, a lot of people were there to hear a classic 90s hit. Unfortunately, the requests from people yelling “Popular!” and “My mom says I’m a catch!” were never fulfilled. When the lead singer said “Sometimes we play that song,” (hinting that tonight would not be one of those times) about 15 people left. I guess it was to be expected. That song has got to be over ten years old, and playing it must get tiring. I’d be surprised if they even knew all the words still, what with all the talking.

All in all, I didn’t have a good time. I listened to Nada Surf a little in high school, but I have absolutely no interest in them now. The music was just kind of trite and corny. It was all just so… 90s? The crowd seemed to like it though, and there were a few legit fans present. I found myself somehow knowing the words to songs that I don’t remember ever hearing. They’re all up in my subconscious an’ shiiii.

I liked Sea Wolf better.

Today: Ghost Mice, Defiance, Ohio, This Bike is a Pipe Bomb and Matt and Kim. Yes!
