Q and Not U live at the YWCA Cambridge (2004)

[@scannerbro]

I was there and it was awesome.

[@decibully1984]

Five mins in and Chris has played five instruments. Had the pleasure of seeing them three times, including their second to last show, also caught Ris Paul Ric as many times and Georgie James at least once. These guys had a huuuge impact on me as a young musician, they were so creative.

[@mtr801]

10:21 is actually Book of Flags

[@callum67714]

@@mtr801 Thanks. I've changed it.

[@Charlie1821]

Thanks so much for this. I saw them open for Interpol in Florida in 2005 and they blew my mind... and then promptly broke up right after I moved up to DC in 2005 as well. Argh.

[@RickardoSpalcia]

I was 15 years old (32 now) when I saw them in Manchester, UK. Same year - 2004. Fucking blew my young mind. 'So Many Animal Calls' lifted the ceiling off the venue - absolutely insane atmosphere!!

[@dash_frame]

I'm from the Washington DC area (outside in Maryland) and I'm so proud to rep bands like Q and not U and other Dischord Rec bands although I'm obviously biased lol.

[@tragicflaw777]

The best band.

[@quasiotter]

so gutted i never got to see them, but damn, this is probably the closest i'll ever get to that. just rocking out on my bed lol

[@brandonkloesel7108]

Fun fact: The bald guy in the center of the crowd is actually Anthony Fantano. He auditioned for the band as a bassist, but they turned him down.

[@xfogscapex]

are you joking

[@iamthepinkylifter]

now *that* is a ~fun fact~

[@Flawcreek]

I'm pretty sure that's not him, you can see his side profile at 9:51 and it doesn't really look like him

[@brandonkloesel7108]

@@Flawcreek nah that's definitely him. I texted him and asked

[@mtr801]

@@Flawcreek You’re right, that’s someone else. 6:09 - it’s def not Fantano…

[@CaptainGalacticMusic]

that drummer is FLYING

[@drewbocop]

He's a fucking master

[@onw123]

thank you

[@iamthepinkylifter]

got to see them for the first and last time a few weeks after I moved to NYC for my freshman year of college. it was i think the 2nd to last show of their final tour.

[@vkosek]

Is it me, or did that maraca not damn near clock Davis in his melon?

[@Alex-rn3br]

I'm pretty sure I saw this in ct...maybe a year later? Wow I found myself in a rabbit hole

[@bensisto]

Maybe a similar lineup, but this is definitely in Boston. I still have the permit from Cambridge city hall somewhere.

[@Alex-rn3br]

@@bensisto oh yeah I meant a different your...I was a freshman in college and it was 04...I wanna say it was at wesleyan university or uconn I can't quite remember

[@drewbocop]

A very, very good rabbit hole. This band changed teenagers in the 2000s!

[@djguidosauce]

sick band

[@matildacool3949]

i think they’re really cool

[@draganokic2696]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bennett4senate]

I like when he throws the maraca at 1:26 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3ioZJuCnbxjeZI

[@NORFOLKIAN]

Loved this band but they were much better before canning the bass player and becoming a trio.

[@NOMADcourier85]

I was at this show either the lead singer or the guitarist walked in on me peeing in the bathroom and asked if I was done using the urinal I was peeing at. Plan on suing him for "sexual awkwardness" if I'm ever hard up on cash.

[@downallyourstreets]

how is that sexual, sounds more like urine -al awkwardness, maybe he had goneraeh and was super desperate to get the pissing of razor blades done and over, didn't think about that did ya? ...a little empathy next time maybe!

[@whatimintonow8608]

I was at this show too! I'm the girl in the frontwith the pink headband (im on my bfs username)feaveriously dancing! GREAT FUCKING SHOW

[@WaxwingSlain]

​@whatimintonow8608 you're so lucky, id do anything to see them live
