For those of you going to the upcoming shows with Gull as the opener, I would suggest getting there early to check this dude out. He played for ~35 minutes and he played 3-4 songs...I can't be sure how many songs he played..well if you saw him play you would understand
He plays the guitar & drums at the same time...I can best describe what I witnessed with a Dazed and Confused (movie) quote : "You couldn't handle that shit on strong acid, man". It was really cool, but his mask may give me nightmares tonight.
On to Tres Mts...
I was very close to the stage (just one person back) in between Mikey & dUg and from beginning to end they rocked the place. They kicked it off with Holes in the Road and of course Mike got very into it right away. He was literally playing in the faces of the first couple rows for nearly every song. It was amazing. A few songs in they played Makes Me Feel which was one of my favorite songs from the album and still is one of my faves after hearing it live...just a great vibe on that song. Before starting "God Told Me", dUg reminded everyone that this is a sarcastic song...i love when sarcastic songs are the ones that have the "catchiest" hook. When they played Afrosheena, Mike encouraged everyone to sing the chorus..he really had a great time with the crowd..and we had a great time with him
Life was a great one live too...a lot of feeling in that song and I could tell dUg was really getting into it.
I've got to say one of the highlights for me was their cover of In Every Dream Home A Heartache...they all knocked this one out of the park. They wrapped up with La Grange/Fire and it was a great way to end the show. I was impressed with everyone in the band..Mike of course was on fire, dUg's vocals were awesome, Rick played the shit out of the drums and Jeff rocked out as usual. I loved that it was obvious that everyone was having a great time playing together..big smiles across the stage
I'm sure there are plenty of details I missed...but all you need to know is that Tres Mts. rocked!! Now go see them!!
As for the band, they looked like they were have a great time The set was just over an hour, but it rocked the entire time. Jeff was hopping around and really seemed to be enjoying himself. Dug was on and really seemed into it.
I also feel lucky to have seen this line-up. Go see them if you have the chance.
Don’t have much time this morning, but just wanted support the great reviews from other folks. Jeff looked like he was having a lot of fun, too, wish I could have gotten better pics of him. Pinnick’s vocals were surprisingly very strong…actually better than the album on certain songs. Speaking of the album, the live show rocks A LOT harder. I must admit I was really disappointed after listening the album for the first time and hearing how mellow it was (especially after getting addicted to My Baby). The live show is a different story, especially the guitar parts. Mike extends and rips through just about all of the solos with fury, and the riffs are a lot heavier. He was literally right in the fans faces last night shredding.
Again, if you have the opportunity to see these guys, take it, it’s a damn good time. Honestly Jeff and Mike looked to be having more fun than they do at PJ concerts; I think a large part of that is the small, intimate venue--they can really relax and interact with the crowd MUCH more so than they’re used. With their limited set of tour dates thus far, I feel really fortunate to have seen them. You won’t see Jeff and Mike in such small venues very often, so go see ‘em if you can!
Gull was scary/interesting/talented/fun. Definitely try to check him out.
The group as a whole seemed to have a lot of fun up there and Doug seemed genuinely impressed by the crowd reaction throughout the show. Mike seemed like he was just let loose and went to town on the guitar. I was on Mike's side and the man's skills are IMPRESSIVE. He is amazing with the crowd. High fives, playing in people's faces, he was a blast to watch. I go to touch his flippin' guitar as he played. Unreal! The set rocked, and closing with Fire was killer.
I saw travelar and afroannie but did not venture over to say hi. By the time I realized I spotted message board celebrities, Tres Mts were already in full swing.
Definitely check these guys out if you can or are on the fence about going. I got to say hi and shake hands with most of the band and the music was fun. Thanks Doug, Mikey, Mike, and Jeff! You guys ROCK!
GO SEE TRES MTS!!!!
That's cool you got to meet Jeff! Too bad you didn't get a chance to hi...I always look around at pearl jam shows wondering who the fellow crazies...I mean board members are
It's always nice to meet fellow fans that "get it". I'm always dragging one of my friends along, and while they like music, it's just not quite the same. My friend last night kept asking me about the herd of guys huddling up on Mike's side
I admit, the sarcasm of God Told Me went right over my head the first couple times I listened to it.

My initial impression of the song was that it was sarcastic, but it was nice that dUg confirmed it last night
Doors opened at 8:00
Gull came to stage around 8:45ish, played for 35-40 min. I really just stared at this dude during his set.
Tres Mts. came on 10ish and played for about 1 hr. 15 min.
10pm??????????
i think nyc is way earlier... thank you though
It sounds like most of us were in the same spot. I had my shorter female friend in front of me, I had on a black shirt, glasses, blonde guy with a beard.
right..the gull dude 7 30
3 mts 815 ish
And of course, any time someone covers ZZ Top, its awesome.
Speaking of beards, my friends and I were commenting on how many beards there were all over the place last night. I was right behind those three guys that Afroannie was talking about on Mike's side. One of them was asked to leave for a while for sneaking a cigarette. I was wearing a yellow t-shirt, brown glasses, no beard.
Afroannie - I too like to meet fellow nutjobs
Can some one confirm, is Mike's side on Mike's regular PJ spot and Jeff's side is Stone's regular PJ spot?
Yep! That was me
Definitely! :thumbup:
Mike is on his "normal" PJ side and yes Jeff was where Stone usually is. Enjoy the show!
dUg really let loose and was terrific live. I had not heard of Richard Stuverud before the CD came out, and he completely rocked the house--just superb. I would see him play anytime, any place.
My favorites of the night were "Utah," "Oh, Lord," and the sweet "LaGrange."
Thanks to The Black Cat and to everyone who made it such a great night! (If 3Mts. needs one more gig to pass the time, feel free to hit us up in the Midwest.)
