I can understand your frustration, andy, but I just think that there is usually a lag time between bands anyways and...why not fill it with music? the night was not particularly late-running and there was no need to rush the headliner on at whatever time it was. I did see that the one knob-twiddler girl was out onstage early, but i didn't feel they were chomping at the bit. that was just my perception. building anticipation is always painful, but also rewarding. zack here.

It was a good show and this is a nice review. However, I have to respectfully disagree with you on the Baijiu Robots. Having three bands on who are all making indie music, in song structures ... and then putting on a full DJ set of 'dance music' in between the the support acts and the headliner was torture. They seemed utterly unaware that most people were, you know, waiting to see Pet Conspiracy. The funny thing was that their music stopped cos he dropped his laptop then the band just came on and started, obviously not wanted to wait any more themselves. Of course, I'm sure that if Baijiu Robots played somewhere like the Shelter to people who came to dance to their tunes they would be great. So you see, it's not a comment on their abilities.
