You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
valley_parade:
Real Estate was fucking RAD. And because MoCA opened up their every-Thursday Beer Garden/Chalet late, we got to chill afterwards and Bleeker told me there's a new Freaks album coming out in January. Stoooooked!
lepetitfromage:
Going to see The Offspring next month for my birthday, wooooot

Went. Great concert.
The Finnissy 2nd Piano Concerto (just the fourth performance in over twenty-five years - and my son apparently owns the only copy of the orchestral parts) probably has more notes for the pianist to play in the first ten minutes (a huge cadenza making up about 2/3 of the entire work) than it is usual to play in a whole concert. Sir Harrison Birtwistle's piece (written for Nic) is not as easy to get the head around as his earlier piece Harrison's Clocks (which Nic has recorded) - but Harry is planning to revise it now he's heard it played. Finnissy and Birtwistle were both present and went on stage for an ovation each.
Available (in the UK) in BBC R3 iPlayer. Fortunately not TV, so you don't get to see his paunch...
Radical AC:
Next month: The Melvins Lite w/ Tweak Bird, Mono, and Beach House.
Lupercal:
Kind of considering going to see Hexis in London on the 12th. Seems worth seeing someone I kind of know from the internet for a fiver (that, and have my eardrums destroyed by Scandinavians).
