Last show...
adara:
The last show I went to that didn't include a local band was Modest Mouse with Man Man and Love as Laughter.
I did not care much for Love as Laughter as I thought all of their songs sounded the same.
Man Man was awesome and I especially appreciate the fact that they are one of the few bands I can think of that is experimenting with live stage setup with positive results.
Modest Mouse acted like they could have cared less about the crowd and were playing to an imaginary wall constructed between us and the stage. Not to mention that the crowd itself was awful, full of drunken frat boys and their girlfriends who were only interested in hearing Float On and Dashboard. I was in the front row with six or seven friends to start but after being groped, pushed and shoved non-stop for the first three songs I ended up watching from the balcony, which I found my way up to after asking one of the concession-stand men for directions and he very creepily tried to hit on me even though he was about forty and I am twenty and actually look more like I am sixteen.
I basically wasted forty bucks that night when I would have been better off just sitting at home listening to the albums. At least I got to see Man Man.

We are not here to bash bands, unless you are talking about them in a recent, or slightly not so recent show you've been to.
But then again, every one is entitled to their opinion, this is a forum.

My last show was the Pitchfork festival. The end.

Oh, but I am talking about seeing them recently. They opened for EitS a few months back and it was easily one of the more unpleasant live music experience of my life. They were being heckled from the crowd and the lead singer, who looked like some too pale hipster, kept strutting about in a pose which reminded me of someone attempting to impersonate a chicken and failing miserably. On top of that, I don't care for his voice, the instrumentals are jarring and not at all in sync with the lyrics, and the lyrics themselves are just plain bad. I didn't really like their records but seeing them live not too long ago made me like them less.

Municipal Waste, who were pretty cool (Dave Witte!). It's also the only concert I've been to in years, as no bands seems to play near me anymore.
