Fun Stuff > BAND

Last show...

Baggy:
My last show was Ra Ra Riot and Mason Proper at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago.  Both amazing bands, Mason Proper has a ton of energy and quirky rock songs, and Ra Ra Riot knows how to rock the sextet with a violin and cello.

I saw a bunch of local punk bands at a skatepark.  My girlfriend is a belly dancer and slightly psychotic, so she had all her stuff on.  And I think this guy with a camera, who was a merch guy for one of the bands was filming her ass.  I was not very pleased.

Before that, I saw The Wards.  Which is a bunch of fourty year old dudes playing old school punk.  I went with a bunch of my friends, who are crazy hippies and punks.  It rocked so hard.

Even further back, I saw Brand New, Anathallo, and the Colour Revolt at Higher Ground with a bunch of friends and my girlfriend.  It was an amazing show, but the crowd sucked beyond comprehension.

the last show I saw was Modest Mouse/Band Of Horses/Love and Laugher. The ladyfriend and I left late and then got lost on the interstate because we're so cool like that, so we missed Love And Laughter, which is okay because I heard they sucked. Then we stood around and waited through Band of Horses set. Now, I've seen Band of Horses twice now, and they've both been radically different performances. They both have one thing in common though. They're pretty dreadfully boring. The first time I saw them was with Iron and Wine (man, I am talking about boring bands and an Iron and Wine concert, oh the hypocrisy), and they were tired and sweaty and sleepy from touring in a shitty van I presume. Then they released and album and pitchfork gave them the pitchfork version of the Rolling-Stone-Give-Every-Album-a-3-And-A-Half-Stars review of like 6 or 7 I think and they actually made some money. So this time the frontman grew out a beard and got voraciously drunk before the show so he was just slurring words together. And they were much louder.

This didn't make them any more interesting.

Modest Mouse were okay despite not A) playing Teeth Like God's Shoeshine or B) being voraciously drunk (Band of Horses frontman should have shared). Whoever posted about them basically building a wall between themselves and the audience hit it pretty spot on. They were in an entirely different world and we were just looking in. It was the Modest Mouse snowglobe hour.

Also it was an outdoor venue so it's like 100 degrees and everyone was smoking and the sound quality sucked and I tried to pick fights with people but nobody took me on.

The next show I'm going to is Qui (WITH DAVID YOW). It will be the shit

Flogging molly and bad religion before we left. I got kicked and stomped during fm, but it was still great. A bakerless bad religion threw down a fast paced set of mostly pre-2000 songs. Loved it.
