Title: Which concerts are you going to this week?
Post by: Oerdin on 17 Jun 2005, 12:21: Tonight REO Speedwagon and tomorrow night Independence Jam featuring The Raveonettes, Kasabian, Rocket from the Crypt, Nada Surf, and Pinback. I liked REO Speedwagon back in my grunge phase of the early 90's plus their tickets are only around $10 while the other five go for $24. Good cheap entertainment. What are you folks going to see this weekend?

Post by: Merkava on 17 Jun 2005, 12:28: A record company called Silverthree (which I have a hard-on for :P) was sponsoring this performance by some very new bands recently at the 9:30 club. I wanted to go, but my mom won't let me go into that area alone and I couldn't get anybody to go with me.

I was however underwhelmed by their new album and that's just making me worried that I may not enjoy them. I'm sure I'll enjoy the concert, but still.

No worries, they're fucking excellent live. And Aaron is funny as fuck.

I'm seeing Spoon on Tuesday, and (a week after that) a free "Easy-Star All Stars' Dub Side Of The Moon" live show and dance thing at the Peir. It will be awesome. I'm still pissed I missed Fishbone playing this same free concert thing last year. I've only seen'm live once, and they were abso-fucking-lutely amazing.

Post by: yipjumpmusic on 19 Jun 2005, 00:47: Oerdin I was there. Pinback was why I went, this being the 9th time. Nada surf was not bad. (seen em before). The Raveonettes I was sleepy at the time and I think they did a bad sound job for them I think...I walked out on Rocket from the Crypt after third song.

This thread only has merit in that it is for ahead of time, before the show so people might be able to say, hey I'm going to this show, oh hey me too, blah blah...

Never managed to see the same band twice, apart from some locals. Will have seen In Flames twice by the end of this year though, and maybe Cradle of Filth, depending on who their support is (Normally, Cradle picks fucking awesome supoort acts, they played one show in Poland with Behemoth AND Christian Death, however when I saw them in April they had some decidedly lackluster metalcore act, though to be fair they were only a UK act covering in for Moonspell)

It's great, since bands' performances can vary a lot from gig to gig. There are plenty of bands that I saw once and was unimpressed by but who later won me over, and others that I've loved but have seen do a bad gig. My friends We Are Corpses!! had bad shows the first couple of times I saw them, but by the third they had it all together and tore it up.

how is it gay to want to go support your favorite bands more than once? if you like seeing bands play live i say see them as many times as you can. i've seen quite a few bands more than once.

Post by: Oerdin on 30 Jun 2005, 11:22: Late last month I went to SDSU's Open air Amphatheater where I saw Pinback, Kasabian, Nada Surf, Rocket from the Crypt, The Raveonettes, and Lady Dotty and the somethings (a local blues/jazz band I can't recall the full name to). All in all it was $24 well spent and we got to sit center almost at the very bottom. Well worth the money.

In July I will be seeing Sufjan Stevens on July 15 at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach while on the 29th and 30th I'll be going to San Diego Street Scene 2005. It's a two day event which costs $70 plus a $7 service charge for a two day pass but I think it is worth it. Here's the line up:

Friday July 29th
-The Killers
-White Stripe
-Social Distortion
-Black Eyed Peas
-Garbage
-Flogging Molly
-Louis XIV
-Rise Against
-Hot Hot Heat
-Kasabian (so them last month and I liked them)
-Autolux
-The International Noise Conspiracy
-The Adolescents
-Morning Wood
-Hard Fi
-Dead 60's
-Trans-Global Underground
-Something for Rockets
-Mocean Worker

Saturday July 30
-Pixies
-Snoop Dog
-Flaming Lips
-311
-Dash Board Confessional
-The Used
-Method Man
-Unwritten Law
-Death Cab for Cutie
-Von Blondies (I saw this Danish group last month too. They're thumbs up.)
-Mix Master Mike
-Spoon
-Swollen Members
-The Locust
-The Preceptionists
-Particle
-Viva Voce
-Gram Rabbit

I only know about half of those bands so I'm not sure which to see and which to skip. Any suggestions? I'm kind of pissed that they're moving it to the stadium this year as normally they just block off a portion of down town and everyone just wonders around among the various stages while stopping off at the numerous bars and pubs in that area. Good music and lots of booze; now that's my kind of gig. Now there will just be the over priced piss beer they sell at the football stadium. :(

Pinback just switched out heir drummer too. Rob Crow (I believe that's the lead singers name) said their last drummer couldn't get along with anyone so they voted him off the island.

Do they? I would guess they don't. There was a great AP article (I know, I was surprised too...zing) about how everyone Rivers Cuomo wrote about in the lyrics was mad at him for that record, so not only was it a commercial failure, but it was also personally bad.

They'll probably play "El Scorcho." And who knows, maybe I don't know anything and they'll play a whole bunch. But that's my guess.

Rivers Coumo is a huge attention whore, so he'll play songs of of Pinkerton now that it is considered and indie rock classic. He wouldn't touch them shortly after it was a commercial failure, but now that it's a classic, he wants to cash in on it.

Broken Social Scene this Friday at the Yonge-Dundas Square for free!

I went to that. BSS were great, but those fucking giraffes killed me. I don't know about this week, but I'm going to see some crazy local PUNK band called The Antics soon. They look scary.

I'll be missing Weezer and the Pixies this week at Summerfest. Why do venues have shows during the week?? Man, this pisses me off.

The Pixies have no stage presence. No big loss.

I'm seeing the Constantines tomorrow night and BearvsShark next Monday. Seems like both bands should be good live. Anyone know for certain?

I missed Les Claypool/Gabby La La/whoever else Les wanted to play with last night because my plane back into Kansas came in an hour late. FUCK!

Welp, just got back from the Constantines. Fucking impressive. Quite the show, and the venue was so tiny. Maybe 150 folks in there. Maybe.

Post by: SpacemanSpiff on 12 Jul 2005, 16:24: I'm going to see Electric Eel Shock tomorrow, woo! There's nothing like three crazy Japanese trying to play Rock'n'Roll to brighten your day.

Sex, drugs and e-mail!

PS: By the way, is there a live show review thread of some sort?

Post by: Oerdin on 16 Jul 2005, 11:12: Last night I saw Sufjan Stevens at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. The opening acts were Liz James & Bunky; I found Bunky to be pretty damn good though Liz James put the crowd to sleep. I have to confess that Sufjan Stevens is way more mellow then the music I normally listen to and I was hoping for a bit more energy though they did come up with a few upbeat songs which got the crowd to their feet. Sufjan Stevens kind of reminds me of Jack Johnson on downers and with a larger back up band still you could tell they had tried hard to come up with a unique sound and there is something to the fact that they accomplished that.

Post by: Schmendrick on 19 Jul 2005, 09:34: I saw Alexisonfire at Bluesfest in Ottawa. It was an awesome concert. I was front row so I got a little crushed. All the guys came out though to give autographs! Ahhh this I shall never forget.

Post by: yipjumpmusic on 20 Jul 2005, 02:50: I guess we gave up on the point of the two concert threads

and Oerdin I was there too :P and I will agree except to say sufjan was eargasmic besides a couple of the different versions that were only a little not as great but probably only because they could not reproduce them live to exactness. Arg, now I am one of the giver uppers.
