Fun Stuff > BAND

The "How are they live?" thread

<< < (6/12) > >>

MWhaling:
sonic youth is incredible.
acid mothers temple is incredible.
sunn is pretty entertaining, though i have no desire to ever see them again.
oren ambarchi is pretty bad.
i've missed angels of light more times than just about any other band, but i understand that they don't disappoint. as for live swans (which i never got to see, either) i think that this picture pretty much sums things up:

Scandanavian War Machine:
i can confirm that Against Me! is good live. i dont really listen to their music or anything but i saw them about 5 years ago and i saw them last year (or something) and they are fun to see.

SensoryOssuary:
Gogol Bordello was utterly funkelicious live. Most positive energy I've experienced at a show.

RE: Man Man: I saw them opening for the Fiery Furnaces a few weeks ago; they were pretty cool. Pretty loose, as a band, but they more or less made up for it with wackiness.

I'm going to see Tom Waits at the Detroit Opera House this month. :) Been waiting to see him for about two years.

AM!: the first time i saw against me! was a few years ago at some shitty bar, which is the best place to see them if you ask me. everyone in the room was totally into it and they fucking blew up. against me! had such incredible energy and everyone was jumping up and down and singing along arm in arm. it was one of the best shows ive ever been to. since then, ive seen them at least 4 times more and each show was worse than the last. their new material is utterly terrible, and the shows are so packed that as soon as they start playing the crowd becomes a huge, sweaty, heaving, swaying mass in which you are completely immobile. there is no dancing and there is no connection with the other fans. everyone just gets squashed. i saw them last month for the last time and it was terrible. the only good thing about it was their encore, because they played "impact," followed by "we laugh at danger," at which point i hopped on stage and stole tom's mic.

so i guess the point is that against me! nowadays tends to be entirely unenjoyable.

the soviettes: the only time ive seen them was at the tail end of the fest in gainesville, FL last year, so i was half asleep in a corner in the back of the room for half their set, but from what i gathered, they didnt seem like too much fun. if you dig their tunes it should be fun just jumping around singing along, but it might not be very moving.

the epoxies: they're pretty fun. they all wear goofy outfits and play really goofy instruments, and they all have lots of very positive energy, so they're always a good time.

a silver mt. zion: im seeing em in a week and a half, so maybe ill let you know then!
