Our birthday month continued into its second weekend with us seeing a Sunny Day Real Estate concert on Saturday, October 10, 2009. This was actually my third time seeing them and my wife’s second time. My first time seeing them was at the Palace (now called the Avalon) in Hollywood with my younger brother during his visit in November 1998. They were promoting their third album, “How it Feels to be Something On”. I believe the opening bands were The Rapture and 764-Hero who sang the song “Calendar Pages”. My brother later put this song on one of the mix tapes he used to make for me. This show was Sunny Day Real Estate’s first in California though it wasn’t their original lineup. Their original bassist Nate Mendel had joined the Foo Fighters full time. At this concert all the members of the band were wore matching black suits and ties. Guitarist Dan Horner did the talking between songs. He described how they really enjoyed singing the song “The Prophet”. At another point he said, “I’m gonna be a cornball and say this is the best concert we’ve ever had.”
My younger brother had introduced me to Sunny Day Real Estate several years earlier. When I was in college he gave me a mix tape that included their song “Round”. He also got me an SDRE t-shirt. It was khaki-colored, had green and purple lettering, and had a sun-like circle on the back with these figures holding hammers on the outside of the circle. The front had the name of the band on it. Once I was at a grocery store and the cashier asked me about it saying he had never heard of the company, Sunny Day Real Estate. I said that they were actually a band. My shirt wore out after several years.
My second time seeing Sunny Day Real Estate was in July 2000 with my then girlfriend, now wife at the Troubadour on west Santa Monica Boulevard near Doheny. Getting there was a bit of a drive even back then when I lived in the Miracle Mile area of the “Trendy Rectangle” (made up by La Brea Ave to the east, Wilshire Blvd to the south, La Cienaga Blvd to the west, and Melrose Ave. to the north.) This time SDRE were promoting their new album “The Rising Tide”. They either had yet another bass player or the lead singer, Jeremy Enyck, played bass. Their opening act was the former band No Knife who I thought sounded pretty good. I remember we sat on benches on the balcony. It was a great show though the band didn’t come on stage until late and my wife got rather sleepy. They did have a couple of encores and played an early song, “In Circles” during one of them. Right before the show I bought a SDRE t-shirt at the merch table. Its color and image matched the cover of their new album, “The Rising Tide”. It was grayish blue with the image of an angel statue carrying someone. I liked that SDRE t-shirt, too, but unfortunately it only lasted for three years. I was wearing it when I had my auto accident in 2003. The EMT’s cut the shirt right down the middle to do tests for trauma one. I wasn’t quite as banged up as they thought but my shirt was totaled just like my car.
Sunny Day Real Estate had already broken up and gotten back together once by the time I saw them the first time. They broke up again not long after we saw them the second time. In 2002 or 2003 three of the original band members, singer/guitarist Jeremy Enyck, bassist Nate Mendel, and Drummer Adam Goldsmith formed a band called the Fire Theft and released a CD. Their music was a bit softer and more melodic than what they played as Sunny Day Real Estate. We enjoyed the CD. I’m not sure if the Fire Theft ever toured.
In 2009 Sunny Day Real Estate released remastered editions of their first two albums. I was familiar with their first album, “Diary”. My brother had made me a tape of before we saw them the first time and my wife got me a CD. I wasn’t as familiar with their second album that simply had a pink cover and is referred to as “The Pink Album”. My wife downloaded the remastered albums that included bonus tracks and had an actual track listing for the Pink Album. We then heard that they were back together with the original lineup and that they were touring. They were playing at least two shows in the L.A. area: one at the House of Blues Anaheim on Saturday, October 10, 2009, and another at the Music Box at the Fonda on Sunday October 11, 2009. We decided to see them again since it was the original lineup, they weren’t playing all the way out on Santa Monica Boulevard, and my wife wanted to see them while wide awake. We got tickets to the Saturday show.
The House of Blues Anaheim is becoming one of our “old haunts.” We saw three shows there in 2008: the Sunday Gospel Brunch on our cousin’s birthday, James on my birthday, and The Kooks during the week of my wife’s birthday (see earlier reviews). Still, it had been nearly a year since we went there last. We took the 210 east to the 57 south, excited at Katella going west and drove for 1-2 miles passing the Grove of Anaheim and the Anaheim Convention Center. We turned right on Disneyland Drive, passed the entrance to the Disneyland Hotel, and turned left on Magic Way. After taking a ticket at the parking booth, we turned left into parking for Downtown Disney and parked in section 4C. I think we had left home after 6:30 and arrived at Downtown Disney at 7:15 pm. It was very crowded there, I guess because it was Saturday night.
We made our way to the House of Blues Anaheim. They had opened the doors at 7 pm so there was no queue to get in, though we saw the poles and chains for a Disneyland-style queue. The staffers gave us green “House of Blues” wristbands, checked our ID’s, and scanned us with wands. We climbed up the stairs and stopped by the merch table on the patio just outside the door. They have several different t-shirts. The new SDRE one was a blue shirt with a print of a fly that I didn’t really like. They had a couple with images of cartoon people similar to the ones that appeared on their first album. They also had one designed similar to the one from their first tour. It was the same design as the one my younger brother got for me many years ago. But this new version was dark grey with the sun design on the back and the lettering in front all in black print. I didn’t like it as much as my original. My wife got a green t-shirt with a cartoon “Sunny Day Real Estate” agent, some buttons, and stickers. I didn’t get anything for me. But that’s OK because I already had and was wearing a “Sunny Day” t-shirt of sorts. It was actually the t-shirt I got from the El Monte Tour of Two Rivers a.k.a. the Emerald Necklace (see earlier blog). That t-shirt had a bunch of ads for sponsors on the back and one of them was for Sunny Day Adult Day Care.
After purchasing the merch we entered the venue. This time there were no stools set up around the upper level rail. The tickets said “standing only” and they weren’t kidding. The only seating was the stools in the restricted section of the balcony. Even without stools all the spots along the unrestricted parts of the rail were already taken. We went downstairs to the stage level and found a place to stand in front of the engineers’ light and sound station. As we waited the floor and everywhere else steadily got more crowded. I learned from the restroom attendant that I could have my parking ticket validated at the downstairs bar and get free parking for 4-5 hours. I went downstairs handed my ticket to the staffer on the other side of the velvet rope separating the concert venue from the restaurant/bar area and he had it stamped for validation. I then returned to the floor where my wife waited. The crowd was mostly Caucasian males. Most women were there as part of couples. There were a few Asians. Everyone looked to be around our age. They mostly wore t-shirts and jeans or shorts. Compared to the business casually dressed crowd at the Loggins and Messina concert the week before, the SDRE crowd seemed dressed down. Most of them wore dark colors: blacks and browns. I saw only two others in white t-shirts. One guy wore a white SDRE t-shirt with orange lettering. Many of the crowd were drinking alcohol, soft drinks, or Red Bull.
As we waited they played canned music of mostly 80’s and 90’s classic rock such as Eddie Money’s “Two Tickets to Paradise”, Ozzy Osbourne’s “Mama I’m Coming Home”, Tom Petty’s “Don’t have to Live like a Refugee”, and REM’s “Man on the Moon”. The curtains in front of the stage had the familiar angled panel quilt pattern that I believe I had seen at previous House of Blues Anaheim shows. At 8 pm the screens mounted on the ceiling near the bar counters showed the curtain indicating that the first opening band was about the take the stage. Soon the lights dimmed and the curtain opened to the band Dead Country. They consisted of a guitarist, drummer, singer/guitarists, and bassist. They played six loud and fast songs heavy on drum and guitar and were so loud I wished I had earplugs. After the first couple of songs the cocky, heavyset bassist asked, “What’s up Anaheim? We’re Dead Country from L.A.” Later the singer said that SDRE were “f---ing amazing.” One of their songs included the f-word frequently in the lyrics. Unlike their name, they did not play country music, but loud and fast rock. Towards the end of their set the singer said they were from near Dodger Stadium and we could get $1 3-song CD’s from the merch table outside. They finished at 8:25 pm. A man standing behind us saw me taking notes in my “manly notebook” and asked if I was a writer. He said all the Dead Country songs sounded the same.
The lights and canned music came back on. Over the PA system a woman’s voice announced that we could get tickets for just $10 tonight only for some of the upcoming shows. She then told us to “sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.” I don’t think it was possible for anyone there to sit back. The floor got more crowded. We saw a few kids at the show with their parents. The kids looked to be about as old as SDRE’s third or fourth albums. At 8:45 pm the screens again showed the stage and at 8:50 pm the curtain opened for the next act: The Jealousy Sound. Other than Dead Country’s bass player, the Jealously Sound weren’t as good looking as the first band, but they sure sounded better. Their sound was more balanced often with quieter verses and louder choruses. I could distinguish the melody from the loud and fast drum and guitar. Like the first band they consisted of a guitarist, drummer, singer/guitarist, and bassist. They all wore similar black polo shirts and at one point I think someone shouted, “You’re all wearing the same shirts!” Their songs had clearer lyrics such as “The Ambulance is Here”, “You have what everyone wants”, and “I thought this day would never come”. One of their songs was prefaced as a new one.
The Jealously Sound thanked SDRE for letting them join the tour. A big guy in front of us was waving his arms during some of the songs. A man near us was imitating him. The Jealousy Sound finished their set at 9:32 pm. Between them and the next act the floor got even more crowded. There was hardly any room to move and the worst were the people asking others to move so they could move up. I noticed that many in the crowd were taller then I. Many were drinking from these big cans of beer. We could hear guitar tuning and drumming coming from behind the curtain.
At 10 pm sharp the curtain opened to Sunny Day Real Estate and they launched right into their song “Friday” from the Pink Album. They were all wearing black t-shirts and black pants. Other than the original bass player, Nate Mendel, the others looked the same as they did nine and eleven years before, the first times I saw them. As with the first two bands, the only visual effects were colored spotlights. Their first song included the repeated line “This time . . .” and guitarist Dan Hoerner also sang some of the vocals. They followed this with “Seven” from Diary and the crowd went wild from the opening note sequence. Next came “Shadows” that’s also from Diary. It started slow and soft but got louder and faster for the choruses. They then did another from Diary, the louder and faster “Song about an Angel” as blue lights shined on stage. Jeremy announced the next song by saying, “This one’s called Grendel”. It was a quieter song and the last non-bonus track on Diary, but it got louder halfway through and ended with them really thrashing.
Before the next song Jeremy said, “Now we’re going to do one from (the album) ‘How it Feels to be Something On’.” They then played “Guitar and Video Games” that started quietly but got very loud with Jeremy nearly screaming. We could kind of relate to this song because we played The Beatles Rock Band during the first and fourth Saturdays of October. They followed this with one from the Pink Album: the subdued and surreal “Iscarabaid” with its haunting guitar and bass progression. The next song started mellow with Jeremy emphasizing the word “imagination” and red lights shining on stage. The song got loud and fast more than halfway through and had a loud and abrupt end. We believe it was “Theo B” from the Pink Album. After the song Dan Hoerner said, “That song is fun to play especially with Nate on bass.”
They also began the next song quietly: “5/4” from the Pink Album with lyrics such as “Rise and Shine” and “I know you’re coming back.” But it also got very loud by the end. Jeremy introduced the next song as a new one that they had just completed. It was loud and fast with the word “Glorious” featured prominently. Hot pink lights shined on stage and they played even louder by the end. The next song had a slow beginning and sounded familiar beginning with the lyrics “fear inside” and “against the sky”. The guitars soon got loud and fast and we figured out the song was “48” from Diary. The next song started even more slowly than the last one and never got very fast. It got louder, though, with Jeremy wailing the title lyric, “Sometimes” from Diary. After finishing the song they left the stage. It was 11 pm. We made noise for what seemed like several minutes. I remember earlier, during SDRE’s main set, a guy near us was shouting for them to play the song “Heaven”. We couldn’t remember a song with that name on any of SDRE’s four albums. Then we realized he was referring to a Fire Theft song. We didn’t think they would play it and they didn’t.
The band came back on stage to loud applause and played “In Circles” from Diary that nearly brought the house down. It seemed like everyone sang along with the chorus and the spotlights moved. SDRE then played “J-Nuh” from the Pink Album under red lights, another song that started soft and got very loud, especially the instrumental part. When they finished either Dan or Jeremy said, “We’ll be back!” and they left the stage for the night. Despite more loud cheering the canned music came back on indicating that there would be no more encores. We slowly made our way out of the venue with the rest of the crowd. I overheard someone say that they were going to see them the next day. We later learned that the show we attended was sold out. I believe that given the size of the crowd. We made our way back through Downtown Disney that wasn’t as crowded now, it being nearly 11:30 pm. We found our car, gave the attendant our validated parking ticket, and weren’t charged anything. We then drove east on Magic Way, south on Disneyland Drive, east on Katella, north on the 57 and east on the 210 to get back home.
It was a great concert. I’ve seen SDRE three times now but I never get tired of them despite their only releasing four albums. The first two times they focused on their latest albums from 1998 and 2000. This time they were comprised of their original lineup and they focused on their first two albums. So it wasn’t like I was going “In Circles” by seeing them three times. Each time was unique and great.
My younger brother had introduced me to Sunny Day Real Estate several years earlier. When I was in college he gave me a mix tape that included their song “Round”. He also got me an SDRE t-shirt.
