Ok, basically what you do here is post the current tour dates of a band you think people need to see, tell them why they should go, and then beat them with a (interwebs) stick if they dont.

WHY YOU NEED TO GO: The Bad Plus put on what might as well be a rock show for the amount of energy in the crowd, the volume of the music, and the outright intensity of the whole endeavor, but it is Jazz nonetheless. You should mostly go because you will have a good time listening to their covers, even if you don't know their original stuff, and to get in early and get close to the drums to watch Dave King flipping the fuck out on his set. Also, because it is a cheap show. The one I've been to and the one I'm going to on the 26th are under 20 U.S. dollarmoneys.

Why you should see this band: Two words - Gypsy Folk. End of story. Also, the audience tends to get really into the music so long as the audience are cool dancing people instead of stupid hipsters.
-
DAMN! They are not playing in LA. This nonsense must stop. Good bands must play this city!
-
Just wait a year. They'll be national by then.

Buckethead.
26. Falls Church, VA, State Theater
Seriously, guys. He's fucking Buckethead, you have to see him.
I don't know who Buckethead is, but that's fucking amazing that he's playing RIGHT NEXT TO ME.

I don't know who Buckethead is
And you admit this openly on a music forum?
-
This is Buckethead:
(http://www.monkeyview.net/id/1369/pics/buckethead.jpg)
He's basically the most awesome guitarist ever. He plays thrash metal licks, soundtracks to horror films that don't exist, and does a lot of shit with Bill Laswell. He also does stuff with so many fucking bands and goes under so many different names: , Death Cube K (An anagram of Buckethead), Praxis, Giant Robot, Zillatron, Cobra Strike, Arcana, El Stew, and The infamous Deli Creeps. Seriouosly, check it out if you have any self respect.
-
It seems that your description of Buckethead has glossed over one important fact.
He's a member of Guns and Roses. Or was, at least.
-
A member of Guns and Roses? SLASH?
Even though I hate GnR with a passion, this guy interests me greatly. I checked him out on AMG and he should most definently kick ass.

-
Also, he made an album with Viggo Mortison.
Which gets a 9.5 on the WTF Richther scale.
Also, there is a picture of him in one Screeching Weasel album or another without his bucket 'n mask.

...soundtracks to horror films that don't exist...
I think I'm in love.
