My Awesome Compilation, Spitalfield and Fall Out Boy at the Cockpit, about 4 hours ago. MAC are my sister's friends' band, the only reasons I went were to see them and to buy their E.P. for £5 (as opposed to the £6-£9 asked in record shops), and they were great as usual, I knew I wouldn't like Fall Out Boy but as I'd bought a ticket I thought I should stay to see them. They were awful so I left at the end of the second song. Now, Fall Out Boy are generally regarded as an emo band, as evidenced by the vast quantities of people with slicked down dyed-black hair and girls' trousers, but listening to them I thought how do you tell the difference between an emo band and a pop-punk band? Is it just that pop-punk bands don't have badly-dressed teenage boys singing along in a melodramatic fashion (one hand on chest, other hand emphatically thrust skyward) at their shows? Because musically they sounded just like a pop-punk band.

--- Quote from: MrKneebone ---Went to see The Shins, supported by the Boat People and the Zebras a couple of weekends ago.   Thanks to a rediculously long wait for a taxi, I managed to catch the last song of the set, and the encore.

That was in Brisbane, yeah? I saw them the following night in Sydney, with 78 Saab. They were great, but somehow not quite as engaging as they were the previous year. And only one new song in all that time! Still, they played just about every song they know, so well worth it.
(That keyboard player's still such a goose....is he on something, or just naturally goofy?)

Last gig I saw was Even and The Suits on Friday night at Spectrum. Even were looking a bit tired, and The Suits absolutely blew them away! I hear Even were in better form last night, though....

Saw The Earlies siupported by Hem and Jackie Leven tonight, all of which were fabulous folk.

Last night saw The Go! Team supported by DJ Scoth Egg (no, really) and The Pipettes. Only the latter were less than great in this case.

I'm not sure if a coffeehouse type of acoustic thing counts as a show, but I saw B.J. O'Malley a few weeks ago.  She's a country singer from Youngstown Ohio and I love her a whole lot.
Before that, I'm pretty sure it was Reel Big Fish in November.  I feel like there should've been something in between there, but if there was, it couldn't have been that awesome if I can't even remember...

Last band I saw live was last year, Primus. Twas an amazing show.


I want to go see the Residents for their 33rd Anniversary tour, but so far nothing outside of Austrailia is planned. :(
