Just got my ticket to see Merzbow and Richard Pinhas at La Maison Française (part of the French Embassy in DC).

Fuck. Yes.

Radical AC · « **Reply #1952 on:** 26 Jul 2010, 01:00 »

New Pornographers on Friday.

Japandroids in September. Holy crap I'm extatic for this. One of the top three bands I want to see live.

Theriandros · « **Reply #1953 on:** 26 Jul 2010, 13:18 »

Jeez. All you people make me feel lowbrow for seeing Weird Al last night. =/

that is nothing to be ashamed of

Guys, Electric Wizard are on tour or something and I might want to go see them in september, are they any good live these days?

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #1956 on:** 27 Jul 2010, 22:28 »

I don't know but why are you even asking? I can't imagine tickets will be that much.

negative creep · « **Reply #1957 on:** 28 Jul 2010, 08:16 »

Tickets are cheap, but it's a very very long drive, so I want to make sure it's worth it.

Catacombs · « **Reply #1958 on:** 28 Jul 2010, 18:33 »

Leaving in an hour or so to head into NYC to see the Black Keys. Bringing an extra pair of pants because I expect to cream the first pair.

pinkpiche · « **Reply #1959 on:** 29 Jul 2010, 00:01 »

Good pick-up line: "I brought extra pants, cus you just made me cream."

If Electric Wizard have somehow crept out of their cave and gone on tour, you MUST go see them. Such are the rules.

Well you're probably going to be stoned off your gourd just from breathing the air in the venue so it doesn't really matter what their stage presence is like so long as they can recreate sufficient gnarly grooves to get lost in, no?

JimmyJazz · « **Reply #1962 on:** 29 Jul 2010, 09:43 »

Definately go see Electric Wizard. Do you know if they're touring anywhere in the U.S. as well?

Also, on Saturday there's this: http://www.ponderosastomp.com/lincoln-center_detroit-breakdown_2010.php

It's free! Which is awesome 'cause I never thought I'd be able to see Death live. Anyone else going?

Vuk · « **Reply #1963 on:** 29 Jul 2010, 11:44 »

Electric Wizard only seem to be playing festivals for now. As for shows, I'm stoked to see Cynic/Intronaut/Dysrhythmia, Boris/Russian Circles, and Autolux/This Will Destroy You, this coming month. I highly recommend the latter show, because TWDY's new material is completely different from anything they've ever done, and it just blew my mind. Plus, Autolux have finally come out after like 6 years.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #1964 on:** 29 Jul 2010, 13:11 »

Wild Nothing were really good. Definitely recommend seeing them. Were in a really small packed and warm room though.

There are only 4 dates that I know of: London, Paris, Cologne and Deventer (Netherlands).

I guess I'll follow the rules, then, if I can get the day off.

Ooh man The Thermals are coming here the day before halloween. Maybe twee costume time?

Has anyone seen Best Coast live? I fell in love with the new album, but the hipster crowd isn't exactly my kind of crowd, haha.

BORIS and Russian Circles tomorrow FUCK YES MY LIFE

Radical AC · « **Reply #1974 on:** 03 Aug 2010, 04:14 »

I saw Russian Circles and it's pretty much fantastic.

Also, at the same place I saw them I just now noticed, "Menomena also Suckers and Tu Fawning" in mid October.

Nettle · « **Reply #1975 on:** 03 Aug 2010, 04:19 »

I'm seeing Frenzal Rhomb soon. First time ever going to anything like that.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #1976 on:** 03 Aug 2010, 14:40 »

1) Frenzal Rhomb are doing shows again?
2) By "like that" do you mean things where the novelty wore off round about 1998?

The rest of that tour, including my city, might not catch them now. They had their van and a ton of equipment destroyed (not sure how), but they're apparently trying to complete most of the tour anyway. Pretty cool of them, really...after something like that I'd be way too pissed to deal with touring. Poor guys.

road trip down to cali to see sleigh bells, hot chip, and lcd soundsystem. i heard tix will probs be around $80. worth it y/n

KickThatBathProf · « **Reply #1979 on:** 04 Aug 2010, 00:58 »

depends on how far

scarred · « **Reply #1980 on:** 04 Aug 2010, 00:58 »

probably a 2-day drive

KickThatBathProf · « **Reply #1981 on:** 04 Aug 2010, 01:01 »

if you have money to burn, then do it

scarred · « **Reply #1982 on:** 04 Aug 2010, 01:11 »

it's really tempting, plus the road trip itself would just be extra fun. and i would absolutely love to see lcd live before james murphy moves on to something else

KickThatBathProf · « **Reply #1983 on:** 04 Aug 2010, 01:16 »

yeah it was probably the most amazing thing i've ever been to, so it's worth it

pinkpiche · « **Reply #1984 on:** 04 Aug 2010, 01:26 »

Looks like it's gonna be a crazy autumn/winter:

8/7 - The Rabbit Theory (ch) + Viceversa (local) HOUSE SHOW
8/14 - Kongh (s) + Rising (dk) + Whelm (dk)
8/21 - Auxes (us/d)
10/2 - fucking Racebannon (us)
10/16 - Lords (us)
11/1 - Doom (us) the rapper
11/27 - Burning Love (us)

Vuk · « **Reply #1985 on:** 04 Aug 2010, 07:06 »

Burning Love are insane live. When you have Colohan on vocals, it's hard not to be, haha.

Trynant · « **Reply #1986 on:** 08 Aug 2010, 09:14 »

I have Neko Case and Band of Horses playing in my hometown this fall and one band I want to go see that requires some plotting. The latter band is Bottomless Pit. The closest place they play is Ohio, which is something like a 11 hour drive. I have money enough to burn to fly, and there are direct flights from my town to Chicago, so that's probably the likeliest candidate.

Question about flying and Bottomless Pit's tour dates. The place they're playing, The Hideout, doesn't have the band announced on The Hideout's calendar yet. Should I wait until the band does show up on their calendar, or is almost certain that the band will play there and I should book a flight to Chicago before it gets hella expensive?

A Wet Helmet · « **Reply #1987 on:** 09 Aug 2010, 11:05 »

Excited about?

This one:

Why? It's my kid's CD release party/free gig and we're turning it into a slightly belated surprise party for her (She's 16 today). Should be fun. Shes' got no idea about the party (she thinks she's just playing a free gig) or that Bryan Beller is showing up with his incredibly talented wife Kira Small to do a surprise R&B set.

Vuk · « **Reply #1988 on:** 10 Aug 2010, 07:23 »

I saw Boris last night. Easily one of the best shows I've been to - sound-wise probably the best - especially since they closed with Untitled off of Smile. They droned out on the end of it, and every minute of it was great, just because of how incredible their tone is. Having Michio on that tour, I think, also made it way better than it originally would have been.

scarred · « **Reply #1989 on:** 10 Aug 2010, 10:21 »

Sufjan Stevens tickets went on sale at 10AM today... and sold out at 10:07. I managed to grab one by some miracle, but I really would've liked two. The Asthmatic Kitty server crashed immediately at 10:00, it was hilarious. Anyway I am so fucking pumped for this show.

Fuck. They played in Tronno on Monday night and for some perverse reason I did not go. I completely forgot that Michio was with them as well.

Fuckin' fuck

I attended the Toronto date, actually. I'm glad it was at Lee's and not some place like The Opera House - they definitely would have fucked it up. Well, I guess you should try and at least make it to the Melvins show now, you owe it to yourself, haha.

Has anyone seen Mumford & Sons live? I'm thinking of seeing them in the fall.

Seconding the BORIS tour being fucking awesome. Saw them in Chapel Hill and they blew me away. On a future note, FUCKING CARIBOU AND EMERALDS. Gonna blow my tits off.

NOT GONNA BE IN TRONNO WHEN THEY PLAY

(i am a tourist)

EDIT: Oh it also completely slipped my mind that I will be seeing them (Boris) at ATP, but that is a BorisxSunnO)))xAltar show which is just not the same

Vuk · « **Reply #1995 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 07:56 »

Shitty. Well, that may not be the same, but it's pretty fucking awesome if you ask me. I've been dying to hear them play more droney stuff anyway, so that would be perfect.
