The Last Show You Saw

<< < (27/67) > >>

a pack of wolves:
I went to Transistor Transistor, Fuck U Is My Name, Eagle Eye and Mock Heroic last night. Mock Heroic were great, nice and raw performance. Definitely worth checking out if you like a bit of the old screamo. Everyone says Eagle Eye are fully shite so I stayed downstairs drinking, and then FUIMN turned in an okay set. Nothing to get excited by, but it would be nice to dance to I guess. Transistor Transistor were just as dull as last time so after watching a few songs it was back down to the bar.

Kai:
I'm going to see Iron and Wine on saturday. I don't know how the fuck he's going to do a live one man show. I mean, seriously.

SkySoldierEbG:
Iron & Wine is coming to my town next month as well, but for the price ($17.50) and my admittedly diminished fandom, it's not worth it.

I did, however, see Muse w/ Razorlight on MTVU's Campus Invasion this Sunday. Providence College. AURAL ORGASMS ALL AROUND!! Kickass lightshow, amazing energy, spectacular music. It doesn't hurt that I got Howard's battered drumstick, Bellamy's scraped-up guitar pic, and an invite to hang out with the guys and partake of their impromptu post-show barbeque. Couldnt stay very long, but tis a night to remember.

Kai:
Muse is coming here next Sunday and I can't see them because school sucks up waay too much of my time.

Johnny C:

--- Quote from: Johnny C ---1) Taste of Chaos Tour - March 22, Saskatoon - I am pumped to see MCR and also Killswitch Engage. YES.
2) Death From Above 1979 - April 9, Regina - Okay, aside from the fact that they are even playing Regina, I love You're A Woman, I'm A Machine so when I found out about this yesterday I almost shat myself.
3) The Weakerthans - mid-April, Regina - I like 'em. What?
4) Alexisonfire - mid April, Regina - They were awesome last time and they will be awesome this time, especially since Rise Against is opening. Although I loved Moneen, who used "KC Accidental" for their soundcheck.

UPDATES:

-The Taste Of Chaos tour was kind of disappointing. MCR was good, as was Senses Fail, but Killswitch Engage sucked ass. Also the Used were good ol' cookie-cutter emo-pop (blargh), but at least they had a fantastic light show, as well as a cover of "Under Pressure" that they performed with MCR.

-DFA 1979 was an INCREDIBLE show. First, they had Throw Rag, which is a band that plays music best described as "sailor punk," with not only the costuming and sound but also all the homoeroticism you would expect. It was fun to watch both that and the washboard player. Yes, you read that right. Then controller.controller, who are an amazing band. Ominous but energetic live performance. And of course, DFA1979, who had (during the opening acts) seemed weirdly disconnected from the crowd but proceeded to take the stage and kick the ass out from underneath us. If you can see these guys live, I suggest you do.

-The Weakerthans are amazing. I mean, I hadn't heard that much of their stuff prior to the concert, but it was such an amazing show. The opening bands were awesome: Sylvie, a local band who I referenced in the "share your local band" post, and the Constantines, who sound like what Springsteen would sound like if, instead of like welders and stuff, his target audience was skinny indie kids who like The Arcade Fire. The Weakerthans themselves were fantastic and full of love for the audience and performing, period; the best moment of the show was when they were full-flight, in the middle of a song, just beaming. Also I got interviewed after by CBC Radio3.

-I had to sell my AOF ticket. :(
