Title: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
Post by: glyphic on 04 Jun 2008, 15:06
July 6th at the Bluebird in St. Louis, The Mae Shi and So Many Dynamos are playing.

It's a Sunday, which is actually awesome for me, since I have Mondays off. I'm gonna get trashed and try to sneak myself onto the Mae Shi's gear van.

If I miss this show, I WILL DIE

Anyway, what upcoming shows are making your mouths water?

Everyone keeps mentioning Swervedriver and I keep thinking they are Skrewdriver and I mistake everyone for neo-nazis

Midwest fest is this weekend! it has a pretty nice lineup of a bunch of hardcore/punk bands from... the midwest. Hey! All I need is a ride up to Lawrence.

Boris are playing sometime soon. Although I don't remember when.

Ghost Mice play Solidarity! on july 21st! I am really looking forward to that.

List of shows I hope to hit up this summer:

Feist @ Shelburne in July
Gogol Bordello @ Higher Ground in August
Wilco & Andrew Bird roughly a week later at some place in Massachusetts.

And probably lots of local shows around my state.
Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
Post by: RedLion on 04 Jun 2008, 20:34
Gogol Bordello for the 3rd time, on June 11th in Milwaukee. Going with a group of 10 friends. I'm pumped beyond belief. They always have the best gigs, they're like fucking carnivals.

June 25- Scout Niblett and June Panic
June 27- Frog Eyes
July 19- Son Ambulance
September 7- Xiu Xiu
September 15- OKKERVIL FUCKING RIVER.

I was going to go to Shearwater in Tronno but now it looks like we'll be leaving before then, so that sucks.
Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?

It'll be my second time seeing Gogol Bordello, and yeah, their concerts are fucking epic.

Also, I am so jealous, Misconception.  I would love to see Okkervil River.
Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
Post by: imagist42 on 04 Jun 2008, 23:08
Dude, I thought being in Austin this summer would let me be in the front row to get at least a taste of Okkervil at home, but it seems like they're only here for SXSW in March and ACL in September and tour everywhere else all year long... crap.

That said, I'm looking forward to Rilo Kiley, Islands (again), probably Wolf Parade, and maybe (depending on how long I'm around) The Faint.

P.S.: Are The Hold Steady any good? I'm barely familiar with them but have heard good things about their music, and since they have a show here in August I'm wondering if it's worth looking into.
Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
Post by: squawk on 04 Jun 2008, 23:44
I WANTED to see Islands and Wolf Parade but no go. I am seeing the Faint in August, though. That should be good. That will be my fourth show! I wish I could go to more shows.

Blondie this month.
The Brian Jonestown Massacre and All Points West (Radiohead, The New Pornographers, The Go! Team, more) in August.
My Bloody Valentine in September.

I just saw Duran Duran this past weekend and Wu-Tang Clan in April.

Fucking hell it's a good year for shows.

Now, I wouldn't normally get mind-boggled over somebody having eclectic taste in music, but seriously. Whoa.

On-topic, I got kinda bummed out with going to gigs by myself, so I haven't been to any in months. But next Wednesday I'm going to see Basia Bulat, which I'm excited about. And I'm taking a friend! So that will be nice.
Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?

Why not for Islands and Wolf Parade? Scheduling conflicts? Because I know it's not that you can't get tickets, those shows aren't close to sold out.

My ears are still taking a break for last month when I saw John Zorn live twice, the same week, playing with four different groups.

I'm also going to give up on seeing Dinosaur Jr. next week because I'm dirt poor.

Nah, both shows are in San Francisco, a month apart. Islands is playing there on the sixteenth, Wolf Parade sometime in the middle of July, and I can't go because my sister would be the one to take me and she is pretty busy, though I think there's still a slim possibility of catching WP.

I just got back from seeing Gogol Bordellos in milwaukee--holy shit. Absolutely amazing. Quite probably the best show I've ever been to. It was 3 hours straight--I've literally got blisters on my feet from dancing, jumping, moshing...afterwards, people could barely even walk down the stairs their legs were so weak (no, it wasn't just alcohol. Every single person was stumbling and drifting to one side or the other, even these kids who were no older then 15.)

I saw them once before in Chicago, but they were even better this time. It was in a spectacular venue too: an old dance-hall downtown with a re-built stage. It never ceases to amaze me how much raw energy there is at a Gogol show. No other band I've been to comes anywhere close to it.

Post by: Calaveth on 12 Jun 2008, 01:58
I saw Gogol Bordello last fall in Stockholm. They were fantastic then too.

Only thing planned for this summer is a festival in my old home town that has Manu Chao, CSS, Opeth, the Hives, Kaizers Orchestra and fucking Sex Pistols.
There are some other pretty good Swedish bands playing too, so I suppose it will be good, even if I've seen better lineups.

I've always wanted to see Gogol Bordello, I reckon they would be fucking amazing live.

This summer I'm going to see Radiohead in Glasgow. Going to a couple of music festivals (Belladrum and Connect) which should hopefully be awesome if they are anything near as good as Rockness. Not any bands I particularly want to see at the festivals but they should be good anyway.

I'm looking forward to Opeth in a  few months, and next month there is an awesome lineup of local shoegazers/drone/ambient/post-rock bands playing, Hazards of Swimming Naked, Sleepmakeswaves, The Surrogate, and From Whence it Come are all playing together in July, which should be awesome

Holy crap, End of the Road Fest looks awesome!! So many good bands on there :-( Probably in the top five line ups I've seen all year (others include the London and NY ATPs and a couple that escape me now).

I was very upset for a while, because I thought Mogwai was only playing that damned ATP festival, but alas! this is not true!

september 19th they're coming round to philly, and I'm dragging everyone I possibly can to that. I can't wait. second time I'll be seeing them.

you've got to respect a band that plays from their entire repertoire, and not just their new album. they played My Father, My King in its entirety for us on the Mr. Beast tour.

Modest Mouse was pretty crap.  Pretty solid selection of older tunes, but Brock was not on his game vocally.  A girl next to me jumped on stage & hugged Johnny Marr.   Love as Laughter opened, & they were boring. 



Sigur Ros tix will be available for preorder on their site tomorrow @ 9 am.   Toronto here I come!   Also just noticed Boris will be in Buffalo!

Next Saturday at the Black Cat in DC Mission of Burma are playing Vs, which I've never really listened to but I'm sure is good if they're recent output is any indication (yeah, it's probably better, but I was late on the bandwagon, okay?).

Boris is coming to town soon, (July 8th?) which is nice.

And next time Pig Destroyer plays around here (and they're from northern Va) I will freak, though the bits of Phantom Limb I've heard are no Terrifyer.

Modest Mouse was pretty crap.  Pretty solid selection of older tunes if you ignore the fact they did not play Tundra-Desert I mean come on guys, but Brock was not on his game vocally/drunk enough to be fun to watchA girl next to me jumped on stage & hugged Johnny Marr.   Love as Laughter and Band of Horses opened, they were boring or really shitty (BoHorses)

Changed this up to fit my experience with this band last summer. Essentially, what we are getting at is Modest Mouse is boring band.

Oh, that's... specific. In which case if you go you might see a fat lard of ginger.

No but seriously, you should go. I caught them back in April and it was a great show despite a horribly incompetent soundman. And it's only $8, and apparently the drummer/singer from DFA1979 is opening? Should be awesome. P.S., if you do go you might see a fat lard of ginger wearing an LCD Soundsystem shirt.

Damn you. I've been dying to see Okkervil River since I heard them, but as I'm almost sure I mentioned somewhere else, it seems all these (inter)nationally popular Austin bands only come home for the big festivals (ACL and SXSW), when I'm off at school or whatever. This has made it difficult to see quite a few bands I like.

warped tour. very soon. I'm seeing nofx in new England later this year. Seeing less than jake + goldfinger on the shout it loud tour. those are the ones Im excited for the most.

Meh. There were only three bands on the whole of Warped this year I was excited about. And I'm not going to stand around all day to see three bands. I can see Street Dogs some other time, and I've already seen the Aggrolites when they opened for Dropkick Murphys last March. And Against Me!..eh. I guess I can deal without seeing them.

That said, I bought a pair of tickets for Sigur Ros yesterday! I have from now until September to find a cute ladyfriend to go with.

I went to the Splatterball last night, which I didn't think was going to be as awesome as it was, and discovered this awesome industrial band from Tokyo called Baal. They were really fucking awesome and they put on such an amazing show. My mind is still blown. Angelspit were ok but I think they could have been a little tighter, though given that the equipment at the Gaelic Club is pretty fucking terrible I'm not surprised that things kept fucking up for them.

I should be seeing Cottonmouth tomorrow (awesome local band), the Mae Shi in August, but, rather more excitingly, I got an e-mail telling me that I have won tickets to see Death Cab For Cutie on Monday. I never win anything.
This will hopefully make up for the rather odd Jaguar Love gig last week, and will pretty much make my year...although I'm slightly gutted that the intended support band (I Was A Cub Scout) split up a couple of weeks ago. Even if I did witness their incredibly uncomfortable disintegration on stage before it happened.
Still.
Death Cab.
Free.

At the end of the month I've got Sigur Ros and Band of Horses. Also I just bought tickets for Patti Smith in October. Super psyched.

I love Patti Smith but the immediate response will always be "Damn, she's still alive?" in my head.

dalconnsuch, how were the Dandy Warhols? I'm looking forward to seeing them in September.

I caught Download Fest last weekend for $21 including hidden fees at the Gibson Amphitheater (thanks to $10 fan appreciation tickets from livenation)

Now that I know I will be in Austin until November I am somewhat excited about Cut Copy coming on September 29th. I would be all over ACL but the 3-day passes are all gone, and I'm not excited about nearly enough bands to justify paying $80 a day, even for one day. This means I will miss out on Okkervil River yet again, but, well, they're not eighty dollars important to me.

So, yeah, I'm getting excited about Cut Copy.

Yeah, they played in Austin the next night. I had a good enough time with Wintersleep (they're far less danceable than Wolf Parade, so a lot of the crowd were agitating for their set to end from the beginning) but Wolf Parade definitely made the show.
Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
Post by: BlakeJustBlake on 30 Jul 2008, 08:59
Yeah, I mean, if I had heard of Wintersleep before I probably would've enjoyed it much more when theyw ere playing, but I downloaded some of their stuff and it's halfway decent. But yes, Wolf Parade provided so much energy and awesome music. Spencer Krug seems so modest and shy though, like every time the crowd went crazy applauding after a song he was just quietly like "Thanks, you guys are nice." But their encore was the best part of the whole show.

I GOT SIGUR ROS TICKETS!!!
I missed out on all four New York shows when trying to order online but a friend of a friend is willing to sell me a ticket face value for September 18th in New York. Holy shit I'm excited!! I was sure I was going to miss this whole tour and not be able to see them for a few years minimum thanks to their impending hiatus.
Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
Post by: MobyDickhole on 03 Aug 2008, 03:38
I think I'm seeing Sigur Ros as well.

I say I think because if all goes as planned, I will have press passes, but if all does not go as planned, I will not.
I should say though, that I am going to try REALLY fucking hard to make sure all goes as planned.

I was supposed to see The Arcade Fire/ LCD Soundsystem at the Hollywood Bowl last year. But things didn't go as planned, and i was quite upset.
This upsettness will be like 100x if I can't see Sigur Ros.

And I'm not even going to start talking about how excited I am for Radiohead in Chula Vista.

Other Bands I am really excited to hopefully see (in no particular order):
Okkervil River, Broken Social Scene, Mogwai, Stars, Octopus Project, Aesop Rock, The National, Beck, Menomena, TV on The Radio, The New Pornographers (for a 2nd time), Vampire Weekend, Man Man, Deerhoof, Girl Talk, The Dodos, M83,Presidents of the United States of America, quite a few others

Kanye was a big disappointment for me this summer.  Sigur Ros too.

Zappa plays Zappa (which I just noticed Jeph went to see) was crazy awesome.  Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi Soul Stew Revival has probably been the best show on tour all summer for me.  I've seen them 3 times and each one has been even better.

This weekend coming up is a small festival in Asheville.  Trinumeral:  Galactic (still my favorite band), EOTO with Michael Kang, the Booty Band, and I'm very excited about Lotus and Particle.  Should be a good weekend.

I'm also mad because Yndi Halda is coming to Denton while I'll be back around Houston, and when they come to Houston it'll be at a 21-up bar.

Yeah, living in New Jersey (i.e. close to New York and Philly) actually does have some perks. I'm actually going to see Yndi Halda and Caspian and a couple other bands do a show at Piano's in New York in the end of August. Should be awesome!!

Kanye was a big disappointment for me this summer.  Sigur Ros too.

Explain?

Well Kayne was at Bonnaroo.  I was working the info tent and had a radio so I was listening in on the backstage production channel.  They moved his show from one of the tents to the main stage so he would have room to have his whole setup; they made this decision pretty early in the day so no big deal.  He wanted his show to be late so that his whole "glow in the dark" theme would look cool.  His whole setup was ready to go before 2 am.  He didn't get up on stage until close to 4 in the morning!  The sun was coming up before he was even an hour into his set.  I left after a short while.  It was horrible.

Really he was just being a jerk and wanted to be the only one on any of the stages.  Phil and Friends were suppoused to be on until about 4 but they were hurried to finish so the production crew could get Kayne to start on the other stage.  His big whiney blog post sealed the deal for me.  He's just a big ego that won't be getting any of my money.  I had a few albums but I've already given them away and don't plan on ever getting another.

The Talib Kweli show on the other hand was dank, and so was M.I.A.


As far as Sigur Ros goes it's tough for me to say.  I hadn't heard much so I went in with an open mind.  I did enjoy some of the show, a small march around the stage with tuba's and brass had me laughing but overall I couldn't get excited.  The singing after 5 or 6 songs really just began to sound all the same.  Give them a try I'd say but I'm not going to recommend it that much.

That what you were looking for?

you do realize he felt terrible about the bonnaroo show and he apologized profusely right

Here's his blog post.  Seriously, he is a Grade A D-Bag.  He types like a 13 year old thats upset that he lost in a video game or something.

Quote
I am  sick of negative  people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall... Why????  I understand if people don't like me because I like me or if people think tight clothes look gay or people say I run my mouth to much,  But this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I've ever had in my life. This is the most offended I've ever been... this is the maddest I ever will be.  I'm typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!!   Call me any name you want.... arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro, fag whatever you can think of....  BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL!   NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL!  THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY  TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN!  LIKE WAYNE SAYS PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME DOWN CAUSE I'M FLYING!  I'M FUCKING HURT BY THIS ONE. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FANS.  JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN  A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, "KANYE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE."  CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ?????????      HAS ANYONE EVEN TAKEN THE TIME TO AT LEAST  DO THE MATH???  BONNAROO SHOULD HAVE RELEASED A STATEMENT IN MY DEFENSE BUT SINCE THEY HAVEN'T LET'S BREAK DOWN THE WALLS ON THIS TRUMAN SHOW AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY OCCURRED!!!   FOR OVER A MONTH WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON WETHER OR NOT WE COULD EVEN FIT MY STAGE AT THE FESTIVAL. ONE DAY THEY WOULD SAY YES... WE'D SEND THEM OUR SPECS THEN THEY THEY'D SAY OK... THEN THEY WOULD SEND SPECS BACK THAT DIDN'T FIT THE STAGE. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY DEALING WITH FUCKING IDIOTS WHO DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REALLY PUT ON THIS SHOW PROPERLY.  THEY TRIED 2 GIVE ME A TIME SLOT WERE IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE ... I HAVE A FUCKING LIGHT SHOW DUMB ASS, IT'S NOT CALLED GLOW IN THE DARK FOR NO REASON SQUID BRAINS!  MY PEOPLE WORKED OUT A COMPROMISED STAGE PLOT AND A 3AM TIME SLOT AND I AGREED.   FAST FOWARD TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW. MY PRODUCTION MANAGER TRIED TO LOAD IN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE I WENT ON STAGE BUT THE FESTIVAL WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING UNTILL PEARL JAM LEFT THE STAGE. PEARL JAM ENDED ONE HOUR 
LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  AT THAT POINT WE'RE RACING AGAINST THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT 4:20AM DON COMES BACK 2 THE BUS AND TELLS ME, " IT  WOULD TAKE 45 MORE MINUTES TO PUT ALL YOUR PYRO IN!"  I SAY I HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE . I HIT THE STAGE AND PEOPLE HAD BEEN THROWING SHIT ON THE STAGE AND HAD ACTUALLY HIT THE JANE SCREEN WITH, I GUESS BOTTLES OR SOMETHING AND HAD BROKEN MY FUCKING SCREEN.  REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A SHORTY AND WATER WOULD HIT THE TV??????  WHEN I GOT 2 "THROUGH THE WIRE" I STEPPED ON  THE FRONT PART OF MY STAGE AND THERE WAS SO MUCH LIQUID ON THE STAGE  I COULDN'T MOVE WITHOUT SLIPPING. I HAD TO ADJUST MY WHOLE PERFORMANCE STYLE BECAUSE OF IT.  A FEW MORE SONGS IN AND THE SONG WAS ON IT'S WAY UP.. I  CUT A FEW SONGS FROM THE SET BECAUSE  I  WANTED PEOPLE 2 EXPERIENCE STRONGER WHILE THERE WAS STILL SOME DARKNESS TO PERFORM IT IN.  I'VE STRUGGLED WITH STRONGER FROM IT'S   CONCEPTION. REMEMBER LAST SUMMER WHEN I CANCELED SOME TV APPEARANCES.  IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO PERFORM STRONGER IN THE DAYTIME.  ANYONE WHO CAME TO THE GLOW TOUR CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I WANTED PEOPLE TO SEE IT PROPERLY. IT BROKE MY HEART THAT I COULDN'T GIVE THESE FANS STRONGER IN IT'S GREATEST FORM... BY THE TIME I GOT TO STRONGER IT WAS DAYTIME AND IT BROKE MY HEART.  I'M SORRY TO EVERYONE THAT I DIDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY 2 GIVE THE PERFORMANCE I WANTED TO. I'M SORRY...  SOMETIMES I GO 2, 3 DAYS W/O SLEEP WORKING ON MY PERFORMANCE... I HAVE TO ICE MY KNEES AFTER EVERY SHOW AND THEY HURT WHEN I WALK THROUGH THE AIRPORT... HAVING AN EXPENSIVE STAGE CUTS MY PAYDAY IN HALF... CALL ME WHAT YOU WANT BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL!!!

You know, while I'm sure all the pyrotechnics and the light show is cool, if your music isn't good enough to stand on its own without that, then you really aren't that much of a musician. If full load-in wasn't going to be possible, a real showman would have found a way to keep the necessary pieces and set up in a shorter time frame. If you're as good at your job as Kanye West seems to believe that he is, you'll make up for it as best you can and the audience will forgive you. What they won't forgive is a late performance that turns out to be too short followed by a lame excuse about how it's not your fault. The show must go on.

In November I'm going to see Stars of the Lid and Hammock, two of the best ambient musical groups out there, play a show together at a very cool little venue in New York. SofL almost never play live shows so needless to say I'm incredibly excited.
I'm also very excited to see Library Tapes and Deaf Center in the same venue in late September. I'll be getting my ambient fix for sure.

I'm going to see Nightwish, Gogol Bordello and Opeth in New Orleans in the upcoming monhts.

Yes, each band is a different show.

Nightwish is just because I had a friend ask me to join her.  But the Bordello and Opeth?  Hell yes.

I'm also seeing MSI at a couple of a shows with a friend.  This is mainly for the roadtrip and time spent with some amigos, but I got to say, Jimmy's banter makes the show lively.

Nobody too underground, like the Test Tube Queers, but I'm sure the people I work with will give me funny looks when I mention the band names.

So I basically just got into Tokyo Police Club but I'm digging how much they rock out (especially how the vocalist can go from delicate "The Weakerthans" mode to scratchy, Is This It-era "The Strokes" singing and back in the space of 30 seconds). And I found out they are coming to Austin in a month. Anyone seen them live? Are they not at least not terrible (for $14, I'm not going to hold out for "absolutely amazing," although that would be nice too)?

I'm going to ATP: New York in September. Here is the line-up. (http://www.atpfestival.com/events/atp-ny/line_up.php) It's a three day festival and it's a few days after the Monolith festival (2 days with lots of stairs), so it'll be a challenge to stand up.

I'm also going to see Future of the Left/Ted Leo/Against Me! October 21st.
Ugh, you lucky bitch. ATP is a continually unrealized dream for me.

Radiohead at Outside Lands on the 22nd, !!! on the 26th in Sacramento, X next month in Sacramento, and MBV in San Francisco next month.

I like living in NorCal.

Man Radiohead put on a good show when I went to see them in May. I just had a big exam a few days before so it was nice to unwind with that concert.

Aesop Rock - tuesday in Philly
(hopefully) Finntroll - saturday in Philly  (or friday in northern VA)
Carcass is coming soon to Baltimore, Oct if I recall correctly.
Nightwish at the end of September
Opeth is gonna be here in Baltimore
Amorphis in northern VA
Obituary is playing at some point in Baltimore.

Lastly (well, two different shows)
Children of Bodom are playing here, in Baltimore, which is excellent.
and
Amon Amarth is touring with Ensiferum... which could make it the most EPIC show ever in the history of epic.  I don't think the Troc in Philly can handle that much epic in one night.

I'm happy with the line up, personally. For most of the bands that are playing, I probably will never get the opportunity to see otherwise.

To add to my concert going list, I'm going to see Al Green at the Botanical Gardens at the end of the month.

This Saturday at the Schlafly Tap Room parking lot there is a FREE mini festival going on. 4:00-1:30.

So Many Dynamos, Earthworms, ton of other bands.


By the way, the Pretty & Nice, Hyperbubble show was awesome. I had no Idea that the singer for The Sudden Passion was also the singer for the Femme Fatality until they started playing.

Unfortunately, The Makeshift Gentlemen seemed hokey. Their songs included overly obvious and heavy-handed lyrics referencing such movies as: Mystery Men, Wild Wild West, and Clockwork Orange. When they started a song by shouting "Are you ready for some ultra-violence," I went to the bar.

Otherwise, the show was fantastic.

The Mountain Goats are so so amazing live. Possibly my favorite show, ever.

Anyway I'm seeing the Silver Jews on the 30th. Okkervil River is coming to town in October but I'm supposed to go to Richmond that weekend and the show is on a Thursday so I could do it but my boyfriend has this crazy idea of leaving Thursday night and driving all night. Plus I need a car to get to this venue. But fucking hell, it's Okkervil River. I'm going to have to negotiate these plans a little more (he seriously underestimates my love for this band, "all your music sounds the same").

I missed a Girl Talk show a month or so ago, and apparently he's really amazing live.  I was bummed I couldn't go.

But uh, here's my list for the next couple months:

man man - 8/27
built to spill - 9/6
okkervil river - 9/20
deerhoof - 10/6
gogol bordello - 10/7

Mainly I'm excited about Man Man and Deerhoof.  I might go see Atmosphere too, but I might be too broke to afford it by then.

Bonus points for Stars and Iron and Wine also playing here, but on the same nights as other shows.  Awesome (but not really).

The police show @ Madison Square Garden.

It was a future show but not any more.

My luck that most of my favoriate songs were covered during the final wrapped up show in New York's Madison Square Garden in August, such as - Message in a Bottle
Walking on the Moon, Roxanne, So Lonely, Every Breath You Take and Next to You...  I found it's funny when the police were joined by the New York Police Department marching band for "Message in a Bottle" when they wrapped up this blockbuster 15-month   reunion tour  (http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/thepolice/articles/story/22682497/the_police_say_farewell_with_new_york_blowout).

The 18th for me. And Stars the night after. I'm excited! It'll be really cool, despite my initial dismay, to see SR without Amiina or the brass section (since no shows on the US leg of the tour will have them) b/c they'll be forced to play a lot of stuff which doesn't rely on those elements i.e. a lot of stuff that they don't often play live.

He is going to be playing Red Rocks on the 27th.  If you have never seen a concert at Red Rocks, you really are missing out.  I hope I don't have to miss out on this.

I was pissed to find out that Sigur Ros was playing in my backyard, and I never heard that he was coming... to RedRocks no less !

I may just head up there and hope for a scalper, because General Admission seating is not my cup of tea.
Throw me a PM on the days leading up to the show. I've got 4 tickets and I'm not sure all the accounted people are going to pull through for me.

Man, who knows. I got one girl starting up a second job and another girl in medical school. They've been pretty good about adhering to plans before but hell, you never really know. I should be fairly certain about 2 of the 3 girls by about this time next week (I hope) but they might drop out on short notice. That's happened with other friends. If none of mine are loose you could still make the attempt to snag a ticket. Scalpers are at every show, and you might even find some concertgoers selling their tickets at cost. If you make it in I'll buy you a beer or something. But I'd hate for you to make the trek and come up empty-handed. Your call.

At the point I got the tickets I suspect they'd been on sale for awhile, so they're row 38, which is a little over halfway up (http://www.redrocksonline.com/pages/questions/seatingChart/RR_Seating.pdf). Sound and line of sight are both pretty excellent at Red Rocks, though.

Definitely can't afford this, though it'll probably happen at Terminal 5 or Roseland Ballroom, literally 100 metres in each direction away from me.

Holy SHIT I'm excited. New Monuments is playing at my school on Sunday. For those that don't know (and if you like noise music you probably know already and if you don't you probably don't care but that's ok), New Monuments are basically a noise supergroup.  They're a trio featuring C Spencer Yeh of Burning Star Core, Ben Hall of Graveyards, and Don Dietrich of Borbetomagus and Wolf Eyes. They're doing like six shows on this tour so it's a pretty rare opportunity. I can't wait. I'll report on the gravity of my hearing loss after the show for sure.

I think Sam has a thing about money, in that he doesn't quite like to spend it? I'm not sure.

But, yeah, I could hear a few of their songs while waiting to get in for Tokyo Police Club, and even two blocks away those few songs alone would have been worth my $20. Of course, Tokyo Police Club (and especially The Whigs, who were much better overall than I expected) was worth my $14, I think. I don't even care that I woke up unable to breath because this cold I've been developing is in full blast and I still had secondhand smoke in my airways.

In retrospect, parking under I-35 wasn't worth my extra $5, though. When did that idiocy start?

Well the thing is, there was no fee (and no regulation to be seen) the last 4 or 5 times I've parked in those lots for shows at Emo's, Stubb's, etc. The only other time I've paid for parking at a show in Austin was for Wolf Parade at La Zona Rosa, because I decided to be semi-safe and park in the City Hall garage (which was also $5). So I thought it was a little odd.

But this year there are a few bands I really want to see. Bouncing Souls are going to be there, those New Jersey mooches... I love them. ALL will be there. Also a good band. The Lawrence Arms, who I have already seen at the Fireside Bowl... When it was still there... Horrorpops will be there, but I don't know how I feel about them since I was in high school... I mean, really, a lot of these bands are going to suck (The Casualties?!?) but the Bouncing Souls and maybe even Shot Baker may make up for it. (Oh, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Hahaha.)

shows are on average $10-14 where i live, so yes.

Uh. What. Maybe at Emo's and the like, but most of the "big" Stubb's shows I have seen are at least $20. Mogwai seemed kind of on the cheap end for their popularity and being at Stubb's.

Mogwai is a big name so even when they play at venues that often have $10-$15 shows (i.e. the Starlight Ballroom in Philly) they garner a ticket price of $20-$25 minimum. It shouldn't be surprising regardless of the venue. I obviously wish the shows were cheaper myself (not that it matters for me since I can't go to any of the shows I'd hypothetically be able to go to) but still, I'd happily pay $20 to see 'em.

Ted Leo, FotL and Against Me! in the same show?

You just won music, Eugene. o/

Ted Leo played an fucking amazing set when I saw him in March, but the crowd wasn't into it AT ALL. Way to ruin a show, drunk bros.

Math homework, suck a dick! You are making me miss a Bon Iver gig! I even bought a ticket!

... and it was amazing, especially when everyone sang along to The Wolves (Act I and II). I feel really sorry for you, and it would have been even better if you were there.

Unfortunately,  at Madison Square Garden. Which means that tickets will be expensive out the ass and I will still be a mile away (I've had $250 a piece floor seats for other shows at Madison Square Garden and felt like I was in the nosebleed section).

We shall see, however.

Oh man, Stars put on a killer live show, guys. They were hugely energetic and played a great set. They also seemed genuinely and incredibly grateful to see how excited the audience was to see them. They seemed to put all they had into the set which is always very nice to see. I was tempted to go see them in NYC the next night but $30 tickets dissuaded me.

That makes me feel even worse about missing ACL (Stars, Vampire Weekend, Gogol Bordello, Hot Chip, and MGMT/Spiritualized were a few of many very exciting ideas to me), but at least I am still going to see Okkervil River and Man Man at their aftershow!

I would just like to say that there is no better feeling than that of the cold metal of the press barrier on your wrists at a My Bloody Valentine reunion show in a venue that legally holds 3500 and probably held more.

Front row, dead center, motherfuckers. I was maybe 4 meters away from Kevin Shields and, at some point earlier, J Mascis, who jammed with one of the opening acts.

Needless to say my week life is made and I am still experiencing the aftershocks of musical orgasm.

Cue crappy cameraphone pictures.

I saw Torche and Pelican yesterday.

Torche was probably the most ROCK thing ever. The guys were rocking out so hard, seriously. And when they brought the bomb guitars, it was so heavy I thought the universe was gonna collapse.

Pelican was also really, really good, as always, although they didn't play "Autumn Into Summer"

update from that:  the built to spill/dinosaur jr./meat puppets show i was two metres away from all three bands, and dinosaur jr.'s setlist!

shit, it was amazing.  perfect from now on is a little jammy, so bts got a little boring at points, but dinosaur jr. was AMAZING.

This.

I was expcting a fun show, but whoa, their sound was just immense.

I must admit though, Pelican was a little disappointing. They played a lot of their new boring post-rocky stuff. Don't get me wrong, they still gave a good heavy performance, but the setlist could have been much better. That said, they saved their asses with the encore, finally playing something from the s/t.

Saw MBV last night in San Francisco. It was awesome. ROCKING. Fucking great and terrific and awesome. I risked (what is left of ) my fairly crappy 35 year old punk rock hearing (refused to wear earplugs) WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 15-20 MIN ROCK TUMBLING MANIA and feel great today. They were so amazing. I saw them in 92 with Dinosaur jr in St. Petersburg, FL and that show pretty much changed my life. Last night didn't change my life...but it definitely made me happier than I thought possible sweating, cramped in with thousands of other people without having a particularly good view of the stage.

Spectrum opening up was such as treat as I didn't know until the day before. I have seen him (them) and Spiritualized before...but seeing them within a short proximity of time near each other was ALMOST like seeing Spacemen 3! Right?

And tripping balls while Spiritualized was playing at the Treasure Island Music Festival (sun, wind, choir, perfect versions of some of my favorite songs) was just about one of the best things of my life ever.
Now if only Moose, Ride, and the Pale Saints would all get together and play.

DO IT. They put on a hell of a show.

Agreed, i saw them last year for the first time and it was insane.  So much so that I'm going again this year (i forgot the date but its at the Izod Center in Jersey).  They played for nearly 3 hours.  The first half of the show was like a play, the did the majority of the story telling album.  Then, when i figured the show was over and still happy with their performance, the lead dude came out and told everyone they were just getting started, and played for another hour-hour & a half.  Then brought out Roger Daltry and did three Who songs with him.

The performances itself we awesome, two dudes in long tuxedo coats running around playing christmas songs on flying v guitars, backing band, multiple vocalists, and a 6 or 7 piece string group.  The light show was like a show in itself.

It also probably helped that I had dead center floor seats, which were towards the back so they were on risers.  High five the Izod Center for that.

The Fall on Friday should be pretty good. I wonder if tommydski is going, IIRC he lives here and quite likes them. That would be weird.

I've seen the Fall a couple of times before. As you probably know, I love a lot of their records. In particular I am a massive fan of their records up to Room to Live. I still buy their records but I do not think I have interest in seeing them (or him) live any more. It's reached the point where it's actually pretty hard to watch MES for any length of time. The dude is messed up. He's still got it but he has this thing whereby he severely limits all of the things that makes live music an entertaining spectacle. Sometimes I want to hear a song or two from earlier records, call me a jerk if you like. Sometimes I want a bit of banter or audience interaction. Sometimes I want the musicians to be able to improvise or stray from the recorded versions of songs. Thus, I probably won't go.

However, I will go and see The Wedding Present later in the year!

Do you, or anyone else, know if they sell T-Shirts or other merchandise at the shows? If they had shirts of album covers that would be cool. I'm probably going to see TWP as well, if anyone will go with me.

His response: "...Man, I don't even know"
It was a good moment. He's still undecided, but I think the fact that it's a pretty cheap show might sway him.

Do it do it! That would be super cool.

Edit Edit: Wait! Actually there are two and I am going to the one that is All Ages, so we probably don't have tickets for the same TVOTR show.

Is it just me or does almost every british "indie" band's singer have the same annoying faux-cockney voice no matter where the fuck it is they come from? That said, the wombats are pretty bland and unoriginal.

thank fuck, i thought i was alone in thinking this.  and being in the UK i get subjected to it all the more often.  u want the worst example of it?  "22 grand job" by the rakes.  just a tone-deaf piss-sponge of a singer going "22 grand job in the city, it's alright" in a mockney-bollocks voice for 3 minutes.  complete sack of horsewank, that song.

Oh man please do not be implying that The Rakes were ever as bad as the recent rash of crappy "indie rock" bands that have followed the Kooks (the Wombats, Scouting For Girls, Fratellis). They were never great, but they weren't as bad as a lot of what we get now. Plus, they're actually from London, so I think we can cut them a bit of slack for sounding like it.

Also, to keep this on topic:

This week I am going to see of Montreal and, on Saturday, Holy Fuck, both of which should be great. Although apparently The Bug is playing in my area on Saturday, which I am disappointed to be missing - hopefully it will still be going by the time I get back from Holy Fuck. It's dubstep, so I don't imagine it'll end early. Apparently El Guincho is playing at my uni on Halloween, too, which should be pretty much good times! Last time I saw him, people got angry with us for dancing. Hopefully this will not happen again.

i was just using them as an example.  although i can cut the kooks and the fratellis some slack as they've written a handful of catchy tunes between them.  admittedly the catchiness is all they've got going for them, but the rakes can't even boast that.  tbh, i tend to disregard any band that gets hugely hyped by NME magazine.  in 3 years or so of taking that approach, i've gone on to eventually hear most of those bands and found that i was pretty much right to have ignored them.

I was gonna post here before I saw Man Man this past Sunday, but did not.

If you ever get the chance, see them. SEE THEM. Oh man what a show.

Everybody plays 5 instruments, everybody gets percussion, everybody goes nuts, everybody is constantly throwing party favors at each other. The guy who looks like Dan Deacon went through like 9 drum sticks that night. It was a show to be remembered.

Future shows I'm excited about: Fucked Up, Polysics/Jaguar Love, William E. Whitmore/Murder by Death, Bon Iver

You dodged a bullet.  The Virgins were opening, and based on former experiences, they are the worst live band in existence.  Complete trash.  Even if I found Black Kids remotely appealing, The Virgins' presence would have been enough to keep me away from the show.

I saw G.O. play download fest.

They are more of a party show.
the type where it doesn't really matter if you're close to the stage or not.
It's a fun show, but not necessarily a interesting one as far as technical stuff goes.
But they have really cool lights and are a little crazy

I'd say it probably all comes down to the crowd.

Enjoy.

Alden Ginger of The Unicorns has a new band called Clues. It has some members of Arcade Fire and Hrsta and some other cool bands in it too. They're putting out their first album on Constellation (Evangelista and Vic Chestnut and Godspeed You! Black Emperor and such) next year. Anyway I booked them to play a show on my campus which should be rather fun. Apparently they put on a pretty excellent live show (with three drummers, no less). A Canadian duo called Elfin Saddle which uses all sorts of cool acoustic instruments and a home made drums is opening and maybe, as a first opener, an excellent new band from Main called Lady Lamb the Bee Keeper (check them out online. Good stuff and deserving of recognition!).

Good stuff and deserving of recognition!).

Clues was the strangest show I've ever seen.  I think I saw their first live show, or at least one of the early ones.  They only had one drummer at the time anyhow.  Alden (Penner is his proper name) had a lapel mike which ran through all sorts of distortion, but he would only use it in between songs, just shrieking and yelling into it at random moments.  The drummer in the middle of the set began removing clothes, and soon after stood up, threw the drum set all over the stage, kicked over some other instruments, and walked out through the front door.  While he was gone, Alden mumbled disconnected phrases and shrieked.  After a few minutes, the drummer came back, set up his drum set, said "I was hot", and the show began as if nothing had happened.  For their encore they did a karaoke cover of some old song.  In the middle of the show, the keyboardist asked the audience to applaud her parents, who were in the crowd.  So strange.

Elfin Saddle opened, and they were a lot of fun.

i will probably be going to see Exodus and Kreator with Belphegor, Warbringer and Epicurean opening in vancouver come april.
so excited to see Kreator, and i know warbringer and exodus will put on a good show. Belphegor i havent heard much of, not really my thing but i have heard good things about their stage prescence. epicurean so far i know nothing of, yet.

i had tickets to go see Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquility, firewind and divine heresy but i was too lazy to go (costs me 200 bucks to get to vancouver and back). which i really regret now, as i have gotten into all those bands.

Are you by any chance seeing him play at Chronic Town?  I just saw he's playing there with Elf Power in Jan.  Never really listened to either of them, but from what I read on the internets, they sound worth checking out.  I found some albums on the mediaf!re thread, so I'll give them a listen.

No dogg at the black cat back stage. It's January 22 I think. If you like A Silver Mt Zion, you'd probably like Vic Chesnutt. Think guy playing folky songs on his little acoustic guitar with A Silver Mt Zion backing him up. I saw him open for them last May and it was pretty great. It'll be interesting to see if he plays his new songs without them.

It's a bit of a stretch but I think its at least a bit valid. I mean, if I wanted to I could probably draw some parallels between Horses in the Sky and some of the more drawn out tracks on North Star Deserter. And songs like marathon have a bit of a post-rock-ish feel to them.

I've never seen them live before, actually never been to any big shows, always either find out about them too late (like when I found out down was supporting metallica when my guitar teacher mentioned seeing them the day before), or run out of moneys. I'm still somewhat worried my father will forget and schedule something for that day, but I probably should give him more credit than that.

Valley_Parade, if you do end up going to the show in Albany, make sure you go to Bombers Burrito Bar on Lark Street.  Giant, tasty burritos for cheap and it should be walking distance from the Times Union Center provided the weather isn't terrible.  Which, you know, is a crapshoot this time of year.

I am excited about going to see Michael Franti and Spearhead tomorrow night! I didn't know who he was prior to last week, when a friend of mine offered to pay for my ticket so that someone would go with her, but I found out today that I won free tickets to the show as well as a signed CD and entrance to the Soundcheck Meet and Greet before the show!  So I get to leave work early and hang out in Albany with musicians! Yay!

I used to go to the TU Center a lot for River Rats games (hello, I am a hockey junkie). My favorite food place is quite honestly the pizzeria that's right on the corner of the building. Pizzeria Sapienza or something like that? I would murder someone if it got me one of their chicken parmesan pizzas.

Right, so ATP at Sydney is $150, but doesn't have Dirty Three playing. ATP at Brisbane is $95, and only has a couple of bands listed. ATP at Mt. Buller is $200 and has Dirty Three listed.

I'm pretty confused right now.

I am still on a high from the show though. They were absolutely incredible. Bogle's songs, McDermott's voice. They were backed by some really great accompanists and gosh. The songs they played together were just magnificent.

I like folk music...

Yeah, it does sound pretty amazing. I think they'll be performing mostly their new album, which features the orchestra on much of it, but they could also be reworking older stuff to include an orchestra, which would be awesome. There's strings on some of their older songs but nothing as epic as a full accompaniment. Who knows, maybe we'll even get a song off the WEG collaboration. Anyway, I'm not sure when it's happening or where exactly. The only info I've heard (from an interview with Taka Goto) is that it'll be sometime in May and it'll be in a church in NYC. I'm sure once the date/location is confirmed that info will be on the band's and label's website so....if I happen to see it I'll post it here for sure. It just sounds so damn amazing! And yeah, a meet up would be pretty fun. I thought I was excited for the new album (and I really, really am) but this just might take the cake. Plus they're incredible live to begin with (one of my favorite live bands in fact). Of course, after this show they'll be doing a general U.S. tour, meaning I'll be seeing them at least twice more. Already I can tell this is going to be a good summer!

So TSO was fucking awesome, every bit as good as they were last year.  This years guest (SPOILER ALERT) was Steven Tyler of Aerosmith fame.  His two songs weren't bad, but the main show was fantastic.  Highly recommended if you haven't seen them yet.

Well honestly, it's kind of hard to take that disjointed sort of cacophony and pull it off live. Arnold Boisner (gramophone operator) does a pretty good job, but Palmer Reeves (shoebox telephone) can't really keep up, it seems.
Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
Post by: KickThatBathProf on 19 Dec 2008, 11:33
I agree completely.  When I saw them live, Reeves switched to the sarrusophone part on "poiu32?v" and just missed the beat entirely.  It was awful.  Samson Ingrid (Lead glockenspiel) just kind of did his own thing and it was clear that the entire 11-man ensemble was pretty disjunct the whole show

Well they anounced the details today. It's on May 8th at Society for Ethical Culture Concert Hall in New York City. It's apparently their only show in north america for the new album so I'd get on buying tickets if I were you. Here (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=1000646636&blogID=460679389) is their announcement on myspace for more information.

Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
Post by: A Shoggoth on the Roof on 03 Jan 2009, 18:53
the show starts at 8 pm and I'd have to get up at six the next morning. I could probably do it, But, assuming I decide to cram the night before, I'd get five or less hours of sleep. And I nearly failed calc last term. If I can take the midterm early, I don't even need to go in on friday. Titus Andronicus are sort of local (Delaware doesn't have a real football team or good bands, so we leech off nearby states), so I'll probably get another chance to see them. But them and Los Campesinos! is pretty awesome.

Post by: Tom on 03 Jan 2009, 20:10
Seeing as I don't really like Los Campensinos! (this being an understatement) my advice is most probably void anyway but on a purely scholastic level, don't bother just stay home, study and get enough sleep for the next day.

Also, I just found out Animal Collective is visiting Oslo in March.

I'm sure they will have no problems doing that though. This is going to be such a great spring.

Apparently, Mogwai is supposed to be announcing U.S. tour dates soonish. On their myspace, they say that since their last tour was cut short, they would announce more U.S. dates in 2009 (I don't know if they meant at the beginning of the year, or anytime before 2010). If they come within a 40 mile radius of me, then that's the show I'm excited about. I don't know of any other bands I want to see that are touring near me, currently.

Has anyone heard more about this Mogwai business? All I read was rather vague.

Hahaha it's funny that you think I read Pitchfork. I'll level with you man, I think Fall Out Boy make incredibly tight, infectious pop music, but their utter enthusiasm for selling out makes me retch. All of their clips are just fucking commercials.

And their fans are scum.

usually I am more diplomatic than this but you caught me on a bad day so fuck it.

Guys what do I do. Efterklang is coming. They play in DC during my spring break but the venue is +18. They play in philly the next day but the day after that I have an audition for music school which is basically the most important event in my life this year, maybe, and if I fuck it up REALLY BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN.

halp plz
Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
Post by: TheFuriousWombat on 26 Jan 2009, 10:54
Hmm...tough one. I can say that I saw Efterklang play the same venue in Philly last tour and it was rather lovely. Also Matthew Broderick rocks. What would you be doing to prepare for the audition if you didn't go to the show? One the one hand, extra practice and enough sleep is probably important. On the other, how helpful will a couple extra hours of practice really be AND mightn't the music inspire you? Of course those are both a stretch but it will be a good show...

I want to see Modest Mouse in March, especially since they're playing NYC, but $37 would be like the third most I've ever paid for a show and I really don't know it it's worth it (especially now, since my ipod was just stolen and I have to dip into the 'ole piggy bank for a new one).

I would kill to see Modest Mouse... for a band from the Pacific Northwest they sure know how to avoid Boise, not that I can blame them.

So I just spent $41 on a Death Cab ticket... I know, but I missed them 3 years ago when I was into them and I want to see Transatlanticism live...  Ratatat tickets go on sale tomorrow and I'll probably pick one of them up, and Andrew Bird tickets are $18 so I'll probably go to that as well.  Going to be my first concerts of the year.

Haven't seen anything since Ted Leo and Against Me! in October.  A band called The Future of the Left opened for them, and they were amazing.  They were a punk band from Scotland, and there was really no one on the floor when they played so during a synth solo about 8 of my friends and I formed a kick line.  After the show we talked with Against Me! then they walked across the street into, as far as I know, the only drag bar in Idaho.

EDIT: Murder by Death is playing March 1st... So I'm going to go to that too.  I probably wont be able to afford much food for a while.

I think I'll try to see The Decemberists in June at the Tower Theater in Philly, assuming the tickets aren't absurdly priced. Most of the shows they're playing are under $30, with the exception of Radio City Music Hall, so it'll probably be fine. They'll be playing the whole new album and older stuff too. I'm pretty excited.

Well since I live in san antonio, i typically have to drive to austin to see any good shows, but this March is looking pretty good for me. Tokyo Police Club and Ra Ra Riot are playing here on the 13th, the Gay Blades on the 15th, dear and the headlights on the 17th, and then Cursive!!!!!!! is coming on the 18th. Which is crazy cause they are only playing 8 shows and for some reason along with 2 in New York, 2 In LA, they are coming to San Antonio. Fucking sweet though. Oh and plus, Pelican is playing on the 18th as well, so in case the cursive show is sold out to quick, I got a backup. Sadly, this will probably the best week of concerts that San Antonio will ever put together.

And then of course I have SXSW to help me enjoy my spring break.

I've just started listening to The Gaslight Anthem. Just a couple of times through their album from last year is more than enough to make me really want to see them live. I don't get to many rock 'n roll shows, my concert attendance being mostly limited to ambient/noise/post rock shows and such. But these guys are so good that I find it hard to believe they don't put on a phenomenal live show. Anyway I'll be catching them in Philly at the Trocadero come late March.

I really wanna see them at the Stone Pony in May, but I have no one else to go with.  I figure they'd be a good band to see there, since they're from Jersey and big Springsteen fans and stuff.

QUESTION FOR NORTH JERSEY/NYC CONCERT GOERS!

Has anyone here been to a Central Park Summerstage show?  TV on the Radio will be there June 5th, and the tickets go on sale this friday.  They're $30.  What kind of venue is this?  I've never seen them, so I'd like to go, but I don't really wanna pay $30 to go and stand in the middle of a park with a bunch of other people.  Is it worth it?

Eh. That's pretty much it. A band shell in the middle of Central Park with a shit ton of standing room and $8 R.C. Cola. The bands play in brought daylight usually. The band has to be pretty sick or fit the ambiance to put on a good show. The Apples in Stereo were great there, but Dragons of Zynth (I believe their last album was produced by members of TVotR) and Television were awful and boring.

If you have any other options, pick those.

Yea, i think I'm going to skip this show.  For as much as I really want to see them, I just don't have the money to spend.  I'm sure I'll be able to see them sometime this summer tho, they seem to play a lot of NYC shows.

Ok so MONO are playing in the nearest city to where I live, I want to go see them SO bad but, er I've never really been to a gig because all my friends either don't like music or like music that I personally don't enjoy. Does anyone have any advice about going to gigs alone? Any specific advice for the band, I can't imagine they are gonna get to SUNN 0))) levels of needing a spare pair of pants and earplugs but...

God I wish I knew at least one person who liked similar music to me, at the same venue in march Gojira are playing AND Baroness are playing, its kind of an awesome venue, every time I look on the site there's always at least two bands that make me go holy shit, and I get so depressed that I've decided I'm going to try to overcome my crippling social anxiety.

Sorry for the "GET A BLOG!1" message, but any help would be appreciated, I am kinda shy and stuff, probably some of you are going what the hell is this scrub talking about, but it is kinda a big deal for me.

Jack's Mannequin is playing in july! They are opening though, but for the fray which isn't bad.  I wish I could have seen Something Corporate, but Jacks will do.  And I have their live dvd to recreate that experience. :(

Man, MONO are just so good live. Go to the show by yourself. Seriously. You won't be able to do anything but stand next to any friends that go anyway since it's too loud to chat (and you shouldn't want to talk when MONO is playing anyway). I say go. You won't be sorry and if you stay home just so you don't have to go alone you'll be missing out on some seriously awesome musics.

Crippled Black Phoenix is finally playing shows in the U.S.

From Wikipedia - "Crippled Black Phoenix is a collective of musicians from many other bands (including notably Iron Monkey, Gonga, Mogwai, and others). In 2004, Justin Greaves began recording primitive sounds he had in mind for years. He was encouraged by Dominic Aitchison, and their ideas would lay the backbone for Crippled Black Phoenix.
Although originally having an unorthodox start, since all the band members were part of and busy with other projects at the time of the band's founding, Crippled Black Phoenix remained committed to staying together and forged their own unique sound. The band writes what they call "endtime ballads," signifying both the slightly macabre nature of their songs and their unusual blend of styles as the final evolution in music. This strange blend has led to them being called everything from stoner-prog to freak-folk to doom.
Crippled Black Phoenix have made live shows a focus and have performed in unusual venues, using Victorian-era instruments in tandem with more modern instruments."

There are three releases that you can find if you look:

A Love Of Shared Disasters
Night Raider
The Resurrectionists

This is a poorly shot video of them playing "Goodnight Europe" live.  Their music starts off slow and builds to a climax so give it a chance, they have range.

This band is worth checking out and their tour starts in April.

since I'm not partial to any of the bands, I'm considering how fun the show itself will be, which is greatly affected by the audience and the maturity of the audience. not too unreasonable. especially when pretty much everyone will be high.

(what I'm trying to say is I wanna meet older guys)

Also: April 10th definitely going to see Acid Mothers Temple.

Personally, I would go see the Gaslight Anthem, although I saw a live video of them once and the guy seemed kinda douchebag-y.  They sounded great, but he seemed like the kind of guy I'd get sick of after watching for more than 30 minutes.

I'm sure it'll be a hell of a show but flying ain't cheap.

Man, you can grill all sorts of vegan products. Various vegan burgers, lentil burgers, tempeh, seitan, and tofu can all be made into grillable shapes and flavored in vegan ways. There's a big industry here. I'm not a vegan but I can say with confidence that there's enough options for me to be happy even if a bbq is 100% vegan.

I think I saw them opening for Dropkick Murphys in '07. Ended their set with some sort of strange Clash/Beatles medley that was wicked awesome. I would have danced if the fucking bastards at Boston University weren't so strict with their floor set-up. Christ, we're not gonna mess up your precious ice by dancing and moshing.

I saw these guys for the second time last night too. They played a wide variety of songs (including Matt Hollywood stuff; he's back!) and no fights broke out. Joel had a "tambourine solo" which was hilarious. My only (slight) complaint was that they didn't do anything from their new album aside from "Yeah Yeah." But yea, it was an incredible show.

 :?

Fri: Beastie Boys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampire Weekend, The National, Fleet Foxes, Q-Tip, Shearwater, Flying Lotus.

Sat: My Bloody Valentine, Gogol Bordello, Arctic Monkeys, Neko Case, Crystal Castles, St. Vincent, Chairlift, Black Gold.

Sun: Echo & the Bunnymen, MGMT, The Black Keys, Silversun Pickups, Mogqai, We are Scientists, Lykke Li, Akron/Family.


I'd say it's a tossup between Saturday and Sunday (and Friday isn't bad AT ALL.)

Definitely not disappointing, if you ask me (considering the mediocre they've had in previous years, too.)  :-D

Mournful Congregation in SA in september! I've always been keen for the idea of an epic nullabor wave hunt, so I might as well conclude it with an epic doom concert.

I tweeted about those two bands last night, noting that I always get them mixed up and wonder when Isis started having lyrics before remembering that Pelican is the instrumental one.

Also, I much prefer Pelican to Isis.

These two lovely ladies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKkGCzEBsfk) are playing at the same show (separate performances) Sunday. Uni and her Ukelele is just a lot of fun, and Ricky Berger is amazingly versatile and a stunning performer. Can't help but smile afterward.

I'm leaning towards Obituary but my dumbass friends don't like old school death metal so I'd probably end up going by myself (which I really don't mind tbh)

Also, Sonic Youth are apparently coming round' here in June, might go see em'.

The show in Brooklyn will be 18+, not 21+. That venue is usually the latter but shows on Friday and Saturday are all 18 and up. It should be awesome. Elfin Sadddle are opening and they're really terrific as well (and very cool live) so it's gonna be a good time.

TFW, which song? they have two on their site, they released one on pitchfork and another on stereogum. also i doubt all the tracks on the album sound like "retarded power-metal" or however you described it.

Heh, I think I called it "weird almost-power-metal wankery" and was referring to the Pitchfork track. Haven't heard the other one but I'll check it out. Maybe it'll change my expectations for the album.

the MONO show was fucking EPIC.  It really was great.  Cool venue, the orchestra was really talented and they added soo much 'oomph' to the heavy parts and beauty to the soft parts.  If any of you have tickets to tomorrow nights show, you have something majorly great to look forward to.

My buddy that went with me had never heard post-rock before.  I told him this was a good way to get into it.

That seems like a strange combination. Women are absolutely spectacular live, though.

Also, everyone who has a chance to ever see Tortoise should go. They are incredible. They played for almost two hours when I saw them.

Post by: TheFuriousWombat on 10 May 2009, 08:23
Holy shit, MONO...
I wrote this on the Temp. Res. forum Friday night:
I loved it! That was an amazing experience. True, the orchestra was a bit drowned out at times but I could always hear them, even when far in the background. I was right in front so maybe they were even more audible further back. In any case, they played an absolutely killer set. I also got to shake the hand of the illustrious Jeremy DeVine. I met people who had flown in from California and New Orleans and even other countries and they all left totally satisfied with having come. I think that's a very good sign of how well things went. I picked up one of those posters to commemorate my going and then came home for the first time in a few weeks and got to see my new MONO vinyl. Definitely a great night.
And then there was last night:
oly shit! Last night was even better than Friday. Friday was in a beautiful venue and had better atmosphere but last night was just pure, overwhelming, immense energy and sound. I was literally inches from Taka the whole time and the level of intensity in the band's performance just blew me away. My ears are still ringing as I type this. Wow. It was the same set list but that's fine, they played only great tracks. Even Follow the Map, a track that was a little meh for me the first few times I heard it, took on a whole new dimension. And seeing Halcyon with an orchestra the way it's meant to be for the first time was so col. When they played Pure as Snow it was probably one of the most visceral live musical moments I've ever experienced. I'm so glad I went both nights. This was so worth it. Plus I met some great people from all over the country aaaand had two lengthy conversations (about EitS, new music, old music, tattoos ect.) and got a hug from none other than Munaf from Explosions. These last two nights are now one of the very top highlights of my history of shows and if both (and last night in particular) weren't the best shows I've ever been too they were really, really close. I'm still having a hard time realizing how frickin awesome it all was.

Saw Simon Felice in Woodstock last night.  For a guy who just started his own side project he sure did play a lot of Felice Brothers songs..good show though.

Turns out I got tickets for BOTH Wilco and Sonic Youth as part of an early birthday present deal.  July's gonna rock! SY on the 3rd and Wilco on the 18th.

Got back from Sasquatch today. FREAKING AWESOME. I went all 3 days, naturally. The highlights were Gogol Bordello, Silversun Pickups, Crystal Castles, Deadmau5, M83, Santigold, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Doves, Mad Rad, Mos Def, Ra Ra Riot, St. Vincent, of Montreal, Girl Talk, Owl City, King Khan & the Shrines, and Explosions in the Sky.

Some points worth noting:

-Animal Collective's set wasn't all jamming, yay!
-Gogol Bordello went like a half hour long, not ending until Fleet Foxes were supposed to start
-Mad Rad lived up to their reputation (they've been banned from every majoy music venue in Seattle) by spitting on the crowd (and each other), throwing their shoes, bringing only 30 CDs as merch, and at one point, telling some woman that "I'm gonna fuck your vagina with his dick behind that tent."
-Passion Pit is awful live
-During their last song, "Lazy Eye," the Silversun Pickups' guitarist's chord broke, and so they launched into an epic jam session, and when they finally fixed it, the guitarist played with quadruple the intensity that he'd been at the entire show, culminating in the best finale ever. "Lazy Eye" should be 12 minutes long every time.
-Girl Talk invited about 100 people onto his stage to dance with him. Nearing the middle of his set, there was a bigger standing & dancing crowd there than anywhere else that weekend. Also, there was a giant inflatable whale.
-Crystal Castles' Alice was so coked out that all of her vocals were intense, earsplitting shrieks. Luckily, the rest of the show was so effing loud that you could almost ignore her completely.
-Every time I tried to use a porta-john at night, I had to check through at least 3 of them before finding one that wasn't covered in diahrrea and/or vomit and/or beer.

I miss it already.

I didn't think I'd be able to make it, but then I could, so I went and saw Yeah Yeah Yeahs today! It was pretty awesome.  There was confetti and dramatic posing and Dave Pajo, and of course the spitting and microphone deepthroating that one comes to expect from Karen O in a YYYs context. It's Blitz material held up pretty well, and "Zero" is catchy as hell, but dang is it just so much fun when they freak out on a song like "Art Star" or "Date with the Night." Would have been kind of nice to hear an Is Is song or two, but aside from that minor complaint, it was a good time and I came home sweaty and dehydrated.

i'm gonna echo Scarred and say that Sasquatch was fucking incredible. he pretty much hit the nail on the head as far as highlights go...EXCEPT for Black Moth Super Rainbow. their set had some of the thickest, heaviest bass i've ever felt in my entire life. i say "felt" because it really was more felt than heard; i thought my heart was going to vibrate through my rib cage and fall onto the ground. it was fucking incredible. they had a bigass jumbotron screen thingy behind them displaying some of the most awesome/ridiculous/disturbing video i could imagine. my friends and i lit up a joint the second that "Sun Lips" started playing and it was sooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooood. they pretty much played all the songs i wanted them to play.

also, that giant inflatable dolphin/whale that came out during Girl Talk got dragged into the dance tent later that night when Tobacco was playing. it was completely deflated so it was basically just a big plastic sheet on top of a bunch of people dancing their asses off. in a good way.

Girl Talk was fucking amazing. i was gonna leave it out to avoid redundancy but holy shit it was like one of the most awesome things i've ever seen. he wasn't even on the main stage but his crowd was bigger than almost every band that actually was on the main stage. fuck it was so awesome

Okay punk show report.

We get there at 7, blah blah blah blah, hangouts and cigarettes, first band starts a touch after 8. This band is called Dogs Without Borders, and its also apparently their first show. And man, they were good. It started out reminding me of slint or early 90's indie rock type stuff. Then they played a cover song (i dont know of what) which was really fucking good and the guitarist and baritone guitarist (i think he was playing a bari) swiched instruments. After that, they were basically a Faraquet cover band. I thought for a second they had started playing a Faraquet song! They were really good and I expect some good things to come out of this band.

Once they finished me and my friend pat decided we needed more cigarettes so we went go to buy some more. On the way back (we weren't gone a half hour) I called my friend pancho who hung around to see what the status of show was and he said the second band was already on their first song, which surprised the fuck out of me. The next band usually doesn't even think about setting up till after a half hour. I got into the basement near the end of probably their third song. They played one more and that was the end of the set. (these guys, Voyage in Coma, were playing their first show too.) It was some kind of mid tempo screamo but they also played way to fucking loud. I couldn't decipher anything that was going on just due to sheer volume. I was pretty bummed out about this.

I wasn't bummed out for long though, cause Pianos Become the Teeth was next. They play I guess mostly mid-tempo screamo that hints at post rock. And holy shit, were they good. They started off with two new songs and you could just feel how the crowd wanted to go off. But we weren't. Then Pianos played Creatures Of Habit, a song off their split with Ezra Joyce. Once that song got past the quiet intro, the place just went off, which was amazing. They continued the rest of their set with some new songs and even played one extra song! They were absolutely great. Afterward I picked up their split with Ezra Joyce and had a chat with their guitarist. They apparently have a new CD out in 2 weeks so I'm pretty stoked for that. He was also giving away their old album, called the Saltwater EP but nobody was taking it. Honestly, its not that good. But hey, their new songs are pretty awesome so thats okay.

Normally after that set, I would have been apprehensive that the next band might not be as good. However, tonight that wasn't a problem because Pygmy Lush was next. And my god, were they good. And to answer your question Will, they didn't playing any folk songs. It was all punk. I sadly had to leave near the end of the set cause my friend was driving me home and he had to leave. However, what I saw was totally amazing. Those dudes don't fuck around, they know whats up.

Saw ISIS, Pelican, and Tombs on friday night. The show was SO FUCKING GOOD. I was on the front row, and apparently Tombs enjoyed how much I was into it, because the drummer tossed me a drumstick. Pelican was fantastic, they played mostly new songs and songs from the EP. ISIS was WUUUUUUUH SO GOOD HOLY FUCK. They played the entire new album, and other songs like Dulcinea, Carry, and FUCKING IN FICTION YES. ISIS also seemed to appreciate me freaking the fuck out, because after the show was over, the guy from the show Parks and Rec (he lives in Asheville, apparently he is an ISIS fan) came out and gave me a drumstick from ISIS. Then I got to talk to Bryant Clifford Meyer (the keyboardist) and meet Trevor and Bryan from Pelican at the merch booth. All in all, one of the best shows I have ever been to.

Fischerspooner put on some pretentious "performances" with dancers and mostly prerecorded audio which is visually really impressive.

Although it wasn't Ticketmaster that was trying to charge me an extra third of the ticket price, I traveled to the Metro ahead of time to get my ticket to see St. Vincent on Sunday.

Just got my ticket for Rockness (http://www.rockness.co.uk/headline-acts)

Can't wait. I went last year without knowing ot many of the acts and it was amazing. This year there are quite a few acts I want to see.

Friday - The flaming lips are playing, may attend. May just get drunk and watch everything.

Saturday - Annie Mac and lots of other DJs to attend to. Frightened Rabbit should do the trick as well.

Sunday - Biffy Clyro then the Prodigy with the possible interlude of a Pendulum DJ set and lots more tasty music.


Going to be fucking epic.

God damn it. I found a way to get to Bonnaroo, half of it on a Greyhound Bus and half of it riding with some friends who have a little space in their truck, but the way back is another matter. The same people who are driving me part of the way there say they promised another person they're meeting there that they'd drive them back, and then can't take me. Fuck. Sorry to be bitching about this on the forum, but missing this festival would suck and I don't wan't the $300+ dollars I've spent on the trip already to go to waste.

I wish I could afford to go to Progressive nation when it rolls through Toronto again, but sadly I can't.  I'm mostly sad because I'd be missing a chance to see Pain of Salvation, probably the only time in the forseeable future I'd have a chance to see them, who I really like (oddly enough mostly because of a song the singer recorded with another band, and not so much because of their own material).  I've already seen Dream Theater, and besides, their new material is kind of dull, and LaBrie pretty much sucked live.  Still though...

Last show I went to see was Paganfest II, with a friend who ungraciously ditched me to hang out, make out with, and get drunk with Blackguard/Profugus Mortis (my friends are classy people yeah).  Didn't matter much, in the end, because I was going to leave early regardless.  Primordial, I'm sorry, just do not interest me, and Korpiklaani are one of the most overrated bands ever.  Moonsorrow, however, absolutely kick ass.

Just got back from Blind Pilot and The Decemberists. Both were exquisite. The new album is TITS live, and the older song set included The Chimbley Sweep, Oh Valencia, Yankee Bayonet, Eli The Barrow Boy, We Both Go Down Together, and all kinds of other goodies. The highlight of the set was the FLAWLESS cover of Crazy On You. Holy fuck do Becky Stark and Shara Worden SLAY the vocals on everything they do. During the chimbley sweep, they did the thing where they let random kids on stage to play guitar, and that was also very awesome. Overall, excellent show.

I just noticed that on Thursday June 25th, Okkervil River is opening for Wilco at the Wiltern in LA. I instantly got super excited right up to the point of Ticketmaster/Live Nation saying the tickets were already sold out online. I wonder if I call The Wiltern I could get the tickets through that means. Or maybe driving the 2 hours to LA weeks earlier to try and pick them up at the box office. That just sounds like a bitchin' show.

Congrats!  Bonnaroo looks awesome this year.  I really wanted to go down, but none of my friends were down for the road trip.

So the Hold Steady were fucking awesome.  Definitely one of the best gigs I've ever been to.  First off, they played for about an hour and 45 minutes, and played all the songs I wanted them to.  They all looked like they were having a blast; Craig Finn would stand on the edge of the stage looking at the crowd singing along and it'd make him so happy he'd start dancing like a little kid in a candy store.  They played stuff from all four albums.  Some of the songs were just amazing, with the band playing and the crowd insanely into it, screaming along, it made songs like "Southtown Girls" and "Slapped Actresses" even better.  They opened with "Killer Parties, which is a damn good song to open with, and for some reason right now I can't think of what song they closed with.

All around, a sold out show and a band thats into it just as much as the crowd was made for a really great night.  The band that opened, Rock On Dynamite (I think) were pretty good, I talked to them for a bit (super nice dudes) and bought their EP.  I'll probably throw it up on the MF thread tomorrow

Oren Ambarchi, ambioso guitar-electronics freak and member of Sun O))) and Burial Chamber Trio, is going to be making a loud-but-quiet (  :? ) noise in my town next week.  Ace.
Oren was amazing.  Unlike a lot of ambientish artists he really works bass frequencies, which has this weird effect of making the room feel totally full but also sort of empty - the bass was so intense that every shift in tone got a different part of the room resonating, but because there wasn't much happening in the mid-range / typical rock frequencies even a quiet conversation at the bar was pretty obvious.  When he started building up higher noises on top it seemed like a way more intense build-up than your average pile-on-the-distortion crescendo.

Always felt he was slumming it with Sunn O))) but it seems like he's applying what makes them good to his live shows.  Full on body music, but much more interesting than just crushing, repeated chords.  IMO.

I don't often "go" to concerts, because I'm either singing in them, or occasionally recording them (for instance, I'm recording a concert in London next month as a result of someone approaching me through my website on surround recording).  But on Saturday I'm going to an Internet concert from Berlin.

The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, under Rattle, has been persuaded to offer (charged for) live video streaming of their concerts, so for €9.90 I can listen live (once) to their concert on Saturday at which my son is playing (or I can wait for it to go into the archive, after which the same cost gets repeat viewings for 48 hours).  Indeed, so could you watch him, if you wanted; he is playing Dialogues,  the work that the American composer Elliott Carter wrote for him a few years ago (before he passed 100) - see here (http://dch.berliner-philharmoniker.de/#/en/liveconcerts/2009/6/c19/).

Basically, you need to make that hopefully into a definitely or you will be made of regret.

Limpwrist are playing the 1in12 on thursday though so that makes me feel better about not going to any cool Euro fests like that this year, and the Ghostlimb/Graf Orlock tour hits town soon too. Banging.

I'm going to the NIN / Jane's Addiction gig in Manchester in like two weeks, so excited to see NIN again, and should be a good opportunity to finally find out if I like Jane's or not. So far I've only heard a few of their songs, mainly from video games, but I have liked what I've heard.

Just now found out Pearl Jam are in Manchester too in August. Just waiting to see if I can score a concert buddy then I'm definitely heading to that, too!

Sonic Youth last night at the Electric Factory in Philly.....wow. It just was so fucking loud, sound bouncing off of everything. Plus there were crazy lights and pot which made it so much better.

Saw them in Manhattan last night. They DESTROYED.  My ears will be ringing for days. They pulled out oldies like Tom Violence, Catholic Block, Pacific Coast Highway, friggin Death Valley '69! Also The Eternal holds up awesomely live.

On the docket for next week: Matt & Kim on Thursday, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart on Friday, me being really happy that I have a friend doing an internship in Brooklyn this summer.

Woop! October 3rd in Cambridge. With Lou Barlow opening. Whenever I go to shows in the Boston area, bands seem to open for themselves (see the Lawrence Arms/American Steel tour where Sundowner and the Falcon opened).

Also, my ex snagged me a ticket to Warped Tour, so I'll be going to that with her in three weeks. The Adicts, Nofx, and Flogging Molly? I'll put up with her generic sounding sceney bands to see the Adicts! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Saw Casiotone for the Painfully Alone in a tiny, 50 person chapel the other night. It was great. Owen is an incredibly nice guy who manages to make some dude standing in front of a table of electronics mumbling into a mic exciting, engaging and memorable. He started off playing a couple songs of his own choosing and then played all requests for the next 45 minutes or so. I don't remember the order except for the first four and the last one and I might be forgetting a song or two but he played:

Optimist vs. The Silent Alarm (When the Saints go Marching In)
Natural Light
Man O' War
I Love Creedence
Scattered Pearls
Nashville Parthenon
Hey Jelly
Jeane, if Your Ever in Portland
Bobby Malone Moves Home
Rice Girl Dream
Seattle, Washington
Toby, Take a Bow

(we have a rule in my house that if I want to go to a concert, I have to advise my parents at least 3 days before the concert). That's the second time it happened.

Also, why the fuck was I not informed that Army Of... are back? They'd better get the fuck up here sharpish, don't think Eleanor's ever seen them. I am not however jealous of The Get Up Kids, since you are running the risk of them playing loads of MOR shite from On A Wire and christ that would be horrific.

On the other hand, Dolby Anol is playing the Brudenell tomorrow so I can get my dancing shoes on. I'm hoping it will be as ridiculously party as last time, but maybe with fewer tops off crusties.

Damn! Very tempting, I shall do some consulting and pondering. We badly need hangouts and booze anyway. One of my biggest gig cock-ups of all time was deciding to go and get food at a 1in12 all-dayer when I was 18 instead of watching AOFR. Think I might have missed Orrin de Forest as well. Amazingly stupid.

The tops off crusties were alright because a) they weren't near me so I didn't get stinking crustie sweat on me and b) Dolby Anol was liking the topless boys and since he was bringing the party it's only fair he got good times as well.

To wang this back on topic a bit, my friends are starting house gigs soon and their first one will feature the amazing and lovely D. Millard. The ceiling will be too low for his signature stepladder but there should be some classics like 'James Bond Is An Upper Class Copper' and 'Drugs vs Sport' so it will be awesome regardless. I am thoroughly excited.

P.S. I've been trying to see The Hold Steady live for years now but they just never seem to be around!

I can not recommend seeing The Hold Steady live enough. Cancel plans, sell valuables, crawl over the prostrate and bloody carcasses of your most cherished loved ones. Just see them.

Saw Casiotone for the Painfully Alone

I am seeing him again Sunday. The first time I saw him it was after his apartment burned down and his cat was missing and he was SO Bummed Out, but apparently the cat came back. I guess Cryptacize is opening, they're on Asthmatic Kitty and also some are members of Deerhoof. Suck it, Deerhoof haters!

(And yes, Hold Steady are awesome and really nice people too. I almost went up to the singer at the bar before I saw them cuz I was drunk and he looks like a billion people I kind of know. It would have been funny though, "HOW DO I KNOW YOU? YOU LOOK REALLY FAMILIAR!!") (And Keiffer, Blitzen Trapper is coming here too on the 21st. Should I go? It is $8. I think it's the night Jodie gets into Fargo)

Had a fucking awesome time at a show yesterday.

It was an early show, probably started at 1:45. It was really last minute so it was hardly promoted, so only three people who weren't in bands showed up, me, my friend, and a dude who just moved here from Germany. So we basically just hung hard for like 3 hours and I saw three awesome bands and I now have a bunch of awesome new friends.

Fuck yeah DIY.

Saw The Antlers last night. I was one of about 15 people in attendance. I thought they were a bit more popular than that, but oh well, made it easy for me to meet the band. It was definitely way better than I could have expected given their sound. My only gripe with set is that they didn't play "Sylvia", but the near 30 minute version of "Bear" more than made up for it. Yup, 30 minutes, and not one of those moments was I close to being bored. Pretty stunning performance.

Festival Report:
Mayhem Fest was pretty fucking amazing, but I would've had Cannibal Corpse headline over Bullet for my Valentine, and Slayer probably should've followed Manson since half the audience left after their set and Manson basically played to an empty ampitheatre.
Still, I was happy he played some of his old stuff and not just the new crap.

ALSO: Killswitch Engage is pretty hilarious live. Like really. I think their guitarist had aviator goggles, a cape and cut off skinny jeans. YEAH.

show thread been a while.

first im pretty psyched for August 3rd. Mogwai is coming to DC! I've never seen them and it's been a while since i've seen a post rock band so I'm pretty stoaked! Then august 7th I get to see Age Sixteen again! I'm really fucking excited for that, they put on an absurd show. A band called Hightide Hotel is playing too and they sound kinda like American Football so that should be a good set too! Then what I'm really really really excited for is August 29th or something because I'm going to see Pianos Become the Teeth, Wren Lloyd, Age Sixteen, Sawhorse, and mnwa (but its spelled in russian and pronounced mischa burton or something.) That is quite possibly the most stacked lineup I've ever seen for a DIY house show and it's going to be absolutely incredible.

August is looking pretty fucking good for shows!

Oh yeah, so uh, Warped Tour. Here's my report, in brief:

Shad - AWESOME. Holy shit.
Bad Religion - getting very old, as is the crowd
Nofx - Drunk and amazing
Big D & The Kids Table - better than the last time I saw them. Much better.
Anti-Flag - the worst live show I've ever experienced, and I accidentally caught the tail end of 3Oh!3's set.

Saw the Hold Steady last night at the Starland Ballroom in Jersey.  They were pretty good, played a lot of stuff of Separation Sunday, including "Don't Let Me Explode", which I would not have guessed them playing and it was great.  I thought the PA system was a little weak though.  Their shows in NYC last month I think were a little better, since the Bowery Ballroom has a better PA and is smaller.  Still a great show though. A band called Titus Andronicus opened up, who are from a town pretty close to mine.  They were cool, though I felt all their songs were a little too long for their own good.  Also, at one point the singer started rambling about two local radio stations, and never really got to a point.  He probably should have just shut up.  I bought their CD, though I haven't given it a rightful listen yet.

So Japandroids, 3 Inches of Blood, and Dinosaur Jr are coming to my town in the next couple of months, Japandroids and 3 Inches in September and Dinosaur Jr in November.  It's been forever since I've been to a live concert and the only ones I've been too have been pretty huge (White Stripes, Beastie Boys, *cough* Linkin Park *cough*).  Are these guys worth seeing live and what should I know to go to a concert in a small venue.  Or would that be something that deserves it's own thread?
Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
Post by: TheFuriousWombat on 07 Aug 2009, 05:48
As far as small venues go, I've always felt that I've gotten far more rewarding experiences with them then some giant musical hall or stadium. I personally think it's a lot easier to connect with the music and the performers and, in many cases, the people around you when everyone's jammed into some little space. That's just me though. Of course, it's hard to give advice since people have different tastes but I recommend getting there a bit early and, when doors open, quickly making your way front and center, right up to the stage (touching it if possible, although it has to be quite a small venue for this to be possible usually), and staking out that spot. That's where I like being the most for shows. The good thing about doing that: if it turns out you'd rather be further back, it's much easier to move back then it is to move forward if you're in the middle of the crowd and realize you'd rather be closer.
As for the specific shows: Japandroids played in a garage at my school. It was a lot of fun. I recommend that show. Never seen the other two so I can't comment although I'm sure people here will tell you to go see Dinosaur Jr.

After a long wait (partly down to band sickness) The Decemberists are coming back to the UK!   :lol:

My ticket's for one of the London shows arrived yesterday and although it's not until November I'm pretty excited about seeing them again.

I'm usually a little dubious about seeing bands play a whole album through but Hazards of Love is one of those records that has to be enjoyed in it's entirity!

If anyone has seen them recently playing the whole album live I'd love to hear how it sounded played through!

Blink 182 tonight *ducks from objects being thrown at me* in Pittsburgh.  Road trip with an old friend to go.  We always wanted to see them in concert back in high school.  Our parents were a bit over protective of letting us go to a concert at all. So now that they are together we can finally say say we did.  Say what you want about blink 182 or my taste in them but they are what got me into playing music.

Seeing Blink 182 with Weezer at the end of the month. Pretty excited, though I heard a few of Weezer's new tracks and they SUCK. =(

Other shows I'm going to:
Streetlight Manifesto

A Day To Remember

one of the three: Dinosaur Jr., The Gaslight Anthem, or Teenage Bottlerocket/Cobra Skulls

Possibly Dropkick Murphys up in Vermont (late November)

and my friend/ex said she's dragging me to see All Time Low in Decemeber, because I badmouthed them at Warped Tour.

Holy shit The Books were fucking stupendous. One of the greatest concerts I have ever been to. It was beautiful, moving, smartly funny, sad, and uplifting all at the same time. FUCK. They just jumped SO high on my list of artists to love. I really liked them before this, but now I am just in awe. The live experience just brings out so much meaning and emotion in the songs. Got to meet them after the show and have them sign my poster as well, both are very nice guys. They actually seemed embarrassed at how much the crowd was cheering in-between songs.

Also, to whoever was asking how they pull it off live, Nick Zammuto plays guitar and bass alternatively, and Paul de Jong plays electric cello. They have a sampler that constructs the framework for them to play around, and a large projector screen above them to play awesome/funny/sad/strange movies that are synced up to the songs. It was absolutely incredible and I HIGHLY recommend that you go see them if you get the chance, even if you just like their music a little.

This seems to be everyones excuse for going to see them.  It's valid though, if I was going to be home when they're playing near me and had more money to blow I probably would  go see them too.

went to a little show in a coffee shop last night. it was cool, there was a cute chick playing pretty moody songs on acoustic guitar, a chick who played bluegrassy songs on guitar (i mean not my thing but it was cool) and a strange band that used a ton of reverb and were really spacy but had a bassist just pumping out groovy/dancy bass lines. it was cool and they let us smoke inside, which i thought was pretty alright.

Converge? DAMN YOU. In a nice way.

On that day I may perhaps go see Alexisonfire, Anti-Flag, The Fall Of Troy and The Ghost of a Thousand.

The day before my birthday I will be going to see Rise Against. I'm just annoyed it took me this long to get to see them, because now they're getting poppy and mainstream, and not in a good way.

Bumbershoot was a fucking blast. Just the shows I saw:

Day 1:
Natalie Portman's Shaved Head
Matt & Kim
Old 97's
De La Soul

Day 2:
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Michael Franti & Spearhead
MSTRKRFT

Day 3:
Say Hi
Franz Ferdinand
Metric

Gotta say, Franz Ferdinand took the fucking cake for the weekend. Those dudes can out on a goddamn concert. They had the whole thing - giant amps to climb on top of, people spraying water over the crowd, completely off-the-hook lights, and a 10 minute Deadmau5-esque House finale. They might have rocketed to my top 5 shows ever. Yeah Yeah Yeahs & Michael Franti tie for a distant second.

YES. Spread the Franz Ferdinand love.

No, but really, they can put on a show and make you dance/rockthefuckout for 2 hours straight without you being tired.

How were NPSH? I've been meaning to go see them next time they tour near me.

NPSH were a blast - despite being on one of the smaller stages, there was still a sizeable dance party happening. This was helped by the fact that they threw a giant inflatable turtle into the crowd, which people then took turns crowd-surfing on.

Just got back from The Weakerthans at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Holy hell it was good! Makes me even happier I'm seeing them tomorrow as well! Two bands, a German group called Tomte and the Canadian band Rock Plaza Central, opened and both put on excellent sets. After being a huge fan of The Weakerthans for years, however, and never having the chance to see them live, their set was one of the better shows I've been to this year.
Setlist, for those who care:

Night Windows
Tournament of Hearts
Our Intrepid Explorer...
Benediction
Reconstruction Site
Aside
Relative Surplus Value
One Great City!
Sounds Familiar
Bigfoot!
Plea from a Cat Named Virtute
The Reasons
Hymn of the Medical Oddity
Left and Leaving
Civil Twilight
(Manifest)

ENCORE 1:
Utilities
Confessions of a Futon-Revolutionist
Pamphleteer

ENCORE 2:
Watermark
Virtute the Cat Explains Her Departure


They didn't play a couple of my favorites, notably Leash, Everything Must Go, History of the Defeated, Sun in an Empty Room, or This is a Fire Door Never Leave Open but after a fairly whopping 21 song set, I definitely can't (and don't want to) complain. Hopefully they'll play some other stuff tomorrow night but I'd even be really happy seeing that same set again (the encores should be different in any case b/c they were deciding which songs to play sorta off the cuff at that point).

hammers weren't really my kinda thing, the really slow parts kinda bored me, but the sheer oppressive heaviness that a mere three people manage to bash out is fucking amazing.  i mean, depressing as fuck, but a hell of a spectacle and experience.  ceremony's set seemed like half an hour of tiny song fragments randomly thrown together, but made up for it with insane performance (especially the singer), and paint it black were pretty kickass (i've been vaguely interested in them for a while, but this gig has got me properly into them!).

There should be four people in Hammers...I think one of them was away in Switzerland, which may explain why there set had so many slow bits in...I will check out Paint it Black though!

I'm excited about the Insect Warfare tour as I've just found out a friend of mine will be doing vocals, but I can't say who as it's still a secret eeeee! Exciting though.

Not enough shows for me to be excited about though. Last weekend saw some awesome bands esp. a.p.a.t & Lavochkin. Different but brilliant.

Ian Svenonious
AIDS Wolf
Duchess Says
Teenage Jesus And The Jerks
Japandroids
Faust (Join in improv session)
Black Feelings
Faust (proper show)
BRAIDS
Cadence Weapon
The Hoof & The Heel

I don't expect to make it to all of those, but it is certainly possible.  Also, there will be a ton of free shows around town, notable at Phonopolis records (http://phonelopie.blogspot.com/).

It's having a wolf right in your cells. Imagine being a werewolf, but with the slight downside that you don't have a fully functioning immune system anymore. A small price to pay in order to reenact scenes from Teen Wolf.

Four times I think?  Definitely one of my favourite live bands.  A favourite was at Pop last year, when one of their guitarists couldn't play, so they had three other guitarists (From Shearing Pinx and Athletic Automaton) step in to play an improv style set.  Their drummer is ridiculously talented, and Chloe (the singer) is entrancing.

Well, for two main reasons. Transportation and money. I don't have any Money now to go to shows, or for taking the bus/Metro. Which means that transportation is a problem too, I'm just 16 so, I can't drive, and I can't ride bikes (sadly). Oh and also, school is a problem too. Since I don't live in Montreal, it takes time to go to a show and come back and I can't afford taking a day off from school.

The shows I listed on my last post (except the Lights show) are all near the Montmorency College, which is not realy that far from where I live, in Laval. And they are in average 14$ each.

So, all I can say is, Joseph, you better enjoy those damn shows. ^_^

Went to see The Horrors and Japanese Motors on Tuesday.

Didn't make it on time for the Japanese Motors, but I did get free sunglasses and stickers from one of the guys when we arrived. The Horrors were spectacular, and sooo bloody loud. After the show the band members were just hanging around in the bar area, so my friend Jean went up to the singer and drunkenly demanded to know why he didn't play "Draw Japan", and he went on to explain to her why he doesn't care for that track...most of which I missed, and Jean was too pissed to explain it correctly to me.

Plus me and my other friend Tad both hugged the guitarist (who was way shitfaced) and bought him shots. Amazingly down-to-earth guys, really improved my already lofty opinions on them. Though I bet they enjoy being able to play small club shows for 15 bucks as relative unknowns in the US, compared to the mobbing they receive across the pond. The rest of my night was fucking awful, but at least I have the show.

In my dream world, Bez has started a supergroup with the tambourine dude from The Brian Jonestown Massacre.  :mrgreen:
I was trying to figure out exactly WHO was in the band. Of course I couldn't understand a THING Shaun was saying. (Subtitles would be needed were it a concert film). I think that was Rowetta not sure if that was his bro on bass. I'm no Mondays expert. There was another cat on the keys that also played some guitar and some chick who played keys for the Furs was also in on at least one song w/ the Mondays. I took some pics and a vid snippet but I've not gotten them off the card as of yet. I think that was Moose on gtr. But I really am talking out me arse.

Mastodon Dethlok, High on Fire and Converge on Friday

shit yes. Although Converge's dog barking vocals make me wince

I was considering going to see this before I read that High on Fire's set was only half an hour.  As they're the only band on the list I was really interested in I decided to save my money for when they start touring for their upcoming album.

You've never seen High On Fire live, have you?! Even if they only played five minutes, it'd still be worth it. They will rock your face off.

Seeing Mastadon and Dethklok on Saturday at the same venue my high school graduation was held in.  Since I know Bryan (Dethklok's touring bass player) I'm supposed to have after show passes.  I guess I'll know Saturday whether or not I actually do.

-edit:  He just emailed, they're supposed to be at will call.   Any DC area forumites going?

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone at the Northcote Social Club (a really nice venue very close to where I live) tomorrow night. So excited! I got into Casiotone literally, and coincidentally, about three weeks after he/they last toured Australia, so I've been looking forward to this.

Also the Decemberists are coming to Australia next year. I'm really torn about this. The tickets are pricy (around A$60) but I've been really wanting to see the Decemberists for ages. I love three out of five of their albums. BUT: I really really don't like their latest, and this being a tour on the back of their latest album odds are the set list is going to lean heavily towards songs from that. I don't really want to spend a lot of money to see a band I like playing songs I don't like. Decisions, decisions.

Chances are that they'll play Hazards of Love in it's entirety. You may want to factor that in to your considerations.

Trying to find out more information I checked on the venue's website, and according to that they'll "draw from their full catalogue", so I think I'll give it a shot. Even though it's at Billboard, which is far from the best venue in town for a band like the Decemberists.

Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
Post by: KickThatBathProf on 30 Nov 2009, 14:26
Yeah Owls was the only one from Lost and Safe they played I think.  Lemme see if I can remember the unreleased songs....

"Meditation"
"Group Therapy" (this one was really good)
"We Bought the Flood" (this one was saaaaaaaaaaaaaad)
There was one with a lot of goose calls in it that was funny.
There was another one that featured the Talkboy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talkboy) that was actually really disturbing but also funny.
There was another song that I don't remember with a bunch of video loops in the background.

But yeah the videos were beautifully synchronised and I don't think I've been to a better concert, ever.
Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?

The one with the talkboy was "A Cold and Freezing Night", that was the one with the little kids talking about killing if I remember correctly.
I know one of them was called "Classy Penguin", which was awesome. I recognize the other named ones, just not the other 2 you couldn't remember.

I'm not really excited about it, but it's really cheap, and I haven't been able to go to any show in a long time due to college, and I just want to go listen to some music (crappy or not--I admittedly don't know much about these guys apart from myspace songs, and from my knowledge that the lead singer's also in The Starting Line) and be a part of a big community of music listeners again.  And I'm dragging some friends along, so if they suck we can at least make fun of them.

I also really want to see Bela Fleck play, but he's going to be ridiculously expensive, so I'll probably give it a miss.

I just watched that video of him in Africa, it's really amazing. He seems like such a good natured guy, too. How much are tickets to see him? (just out of curiosity, I won't be able to afford them)

Also, the guy I was watching it with popped out with, "All this music sounds really Caribbean." I responded with, "Yeah, where do you think they got the black people in the Caribbean from?"

Yeah, she's great! Saw her in a tiny one room space here on campus opening for Phil Elverum. Actually...Fred Squire opened, Julie Doiron played next, and then the two of them with Phil Elverum played the entirety of Lost Wisdom, and then Phil did solo stuff. The point is, Julie Doiron is very cool and puts on a great, intimate show.

In 7 hours. Pretty impressive. And the show on the 14th is now sold out too.

I totally did, thanks to my sister. The day the tickets for the 14th went on sale, I gave money and Phonopolis' adress to my sister so she could go get me tickets. I am really excited.

Mountain Goats in April (http://handsometours.com/upcoming-tours/the-mountain-goats).

I mean it's not like John Darnielle doesn't bring his guitar out to Australia at least once a year, but given that the quality of a Mountain Goats show tends to fluctuate between Very Good and Life Affirmingly Amazing, it's always something I look forward to.

April 18th - Quasi

No, I'd see them in NYC.  However, it looks like tickets are already sold out :| in the long run, that's probably good because I can't really afford it to begin with, but still, damn.

The only one I have my tickets for already is P4K Festival (PAVEMENT. OH MY GOD PAVEMENT. YES.) which apparently already sold out of 3-day passes in less than a week - I won't be surprised if the one-day passes for Sunday (aka Pavement) are gone soon too. Depressingly I just bought a ticket for myself and I don't even know if any of my friends are going - I know some people who were thinking about going but I don't think they have tickets yet and I don't know if they'll want to do it if they can only get single-day. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU

I'm also probably gonna hit up Ted Leo and Spoon shows next month in Detroit, might go to St Vincent too (only just started listening to her but seems pretty cool and the show's cheap).

I'm really hoping Man or Astro-man? will announce some more shows closer to me, I was stoked when I heard they were playing. So far I think they're just doing Atlanta, Birmingham, and SXSW.  Not getting my hopes too high, Michigan sucks for concerts. There's so many tours right now I'd love to see but I can't afford to travel to Chicago or Ohio for everything.

Man, I wanna see Smith Westerns. That'd be a good show. Also, I feel like you should go see Passion Pit, but maybe because I've missed them like 3 times and am generally jealous of your op!

EDIT: Fuck! Just found out Titus Andronicus will be in town the time as me (unlike the last time) but my batshit crazy ex will be there! I guess the only thing to do here is bring a hot date, get circus drunk and dance it up.

That's about five years' worth of touring to Australia right there, and you've got it in one festival with more to come. You're spoiled.

Also, it's British Sea Power week! Shit yeah! I found out when I went to collect my ticket that it was actually the first ticket sold for the gig, which is kind of cool and kind of embarassing too. It's not like I was hovering over the keyboard, waiting for the tickets to go on sale! It's just I happened to be online and I noticed it'd gone after midnight, which meant it was technically the day the tickets started selling, so I went to the venue's website because just so that I could get the ticket and not have to worry about it later.

I wonder if they'll let me keep it?

THE ACUTES, ALRIGHT THE CAPTAIN, A MIDDLE SEX, ASHTRAY NAVIGATIONS, BILGE PUMP, BLACKLISTERS, BLOOD CRIPS, CASTROVALVA, DIVORCE, HANK HAINT, HIPSHAKES, HIRED MUSCLE, HOUSE OF JOHN PLAYER, HUMAN HAIR, HUNTING LODGE, KHUDA, KOGUMAZA, MAN FROM URANUS, MAX TUNDRA, MUTANT APE, NAPOLEON IIIRD, NOTORIOUS HI-FI KILLERS, OX SCAPULA, PART CHIMP, PALEHORSE, PNEU (France), QUACK QUACK, RUN, WALK!, SERIOUS SAM BARRETT, SETH COOKE, SHIELD YOUR EYES, STUART BANNISTER, THAT FUCKING TANK, TWISTED, TWO MINUTE NOODLES, ULTIMATE THRUSH, UPRIGHTS, WOODERSON, WONDERSWAN, WRONGBOT.

Admittedly it is a bit of a case of the usual suspects but I will never tire of seeing the likes of Bilge Pump, Blood Crips, Two Minute Noodles and Quack Quack, and that's an awful lot of good bands for a measly £15.

They only just started breaking ground a couple months ago and it won't be done until 2020 at best. Also, a quick search of rent prices in San Francisco yields a per-bedroom cost almost completely equivalent (and in some cases cheaper) than Livermore.

Guys, dilemma.

Mayer Hawthorne and Passion Pit

Beach House.

This is a serious question

Seen Mayer Hawthorne.

Don't give a fuck about Passion Pit.

Passion Pit is sold out, so I can't go with more than one friend using the 2 tickets I already have.

Beach house is not.

I don't feel much like dancing, but fun music is fun, and I feel like Beach House could just put me to sleep.

Anyway I really just wanna see Dexy's live, but that ain't finna happen.

To either? I have tickets for one already but maybe want to see the other one more.

This is not a question of like, having doubts about my desire to attend a live music experience.

Just which music experience would be more enjoyable and memorable in a live setting.


Also hitting on hipster chicks while smoking during act breaks

I've seen Beach House twice.  Before the first time I had the same fear about being put to sleep by their show, but it actually ends up sort of mesmerizing you.  They're good, see them.

So Dropkick Murphys last night was pretty good, considering the opening 3 songs played were 3 of the 4 songs I knew by them.  First off, the Wellmont Theater in Montclair, NJ is a pretty cool place.  Great part of the city, the theater itself was beautiful.  The sound inside was decent, not amazing, not awful.  The Murphys came out on fire.  About 5-6 songs into the show, the singer started yelling at a guy all the way down in the front about something during a song.  When the song was over, he yelled at the guy again.  I don't really know what the guy was doing, but it was enough to piss the band & the bouncers off.  Then, about :30 into the next song, all the sound goes out.  All of it.  The band waited it out for a few minutes, then walked off the stage.  The house lights kept coming on and off, and no one really knew what was going on.  The crowd started getting pissed.  Finally, after at least 20 minutes, the band came back on, played two songs, and then announced that the fire alarm had been pulled.  They thought the guy they yelled at pulled it.  It sucked but at least it was kinda entertaining.  The rest of the show was pretty good.

I thought the Ukrainian Federation show on Sunday was pretty good despite (1) the wooden pews; (2) Neal Morgan a.k.a. the most pretentious barefoot drummer on earth; (3) the opener.  Yes, I'm calling Morgan pretentious in the context of a Joanna Newsom show.

Also, if you think Phoenix is bad, in a few weeks I see spoon at Soundstage, formerly The Docks.  In an all ages show.  Meaning that the drinking area is cordoned off.  Pity me.

I don't know anything about Neal Morgan except that he was really funny and friendly when Joanna Newsom had to tune her harp for about 8 minutes and left him to his own devices to talk to the audience. I couldn't see his feet. There was water dripping on him from the ceiling for basically the entire show.

What was the setlist like at the show you saw? They could only play for about an hour and fifteen minutes on Saturday. I think they had to be done by 9.30.

Yeah, I saw them the last time they came out here and even though it was in an outdoor festival context they were phenomenal. The prospect of seeing them indoors, and playing Doolittle in its entirety, is almost jaw-droppingly exciting. It's the only show I could possibly imagine where I paid more than A$90 without even thinking about it.

You guys got fucked royally at the Phoenix show, to quote this Globe & Mail article (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/an-all-too-brief-encounter-with-a-one-of-a-kind-pop-heroine/article1500992/): "By then it was obvious that this show should have happened in a proper theatre, with no time limit placed on a singer whose latest album (Have One On Me) runs over two hours. For her to land at the Phoenix was a comprehensive failure by her management, her booking agent, and the promoter."  What the hell kind of venue has an "internal curfew" that ends at 9:15pm on a Saturday anyway?

I don't remember the exact setlist at my show but it seemed that the set was all stuff off the new album including Kingfisher and Daddy Longlegs, and the encore was Emily.  Which is a hell of an encore, really.  Set + encore went for a little longer than 1.5 hours I think, although I'm not sure.

Scary, that's pretty cool that you got to meet the arrangers after the show, how did you manage that?  Fake a press pass on your home PC again?  Well done.  I have nothing against Neal Morgan the person (I think they did that thing where Newsom tuned and Morgan joked with the audience at almost every show this tour), it just annoys me that he goes out of his way to reflect Newsom's ... preciousness with exaggerated drum antics, and I still maintain a strong belief that he cannot effectively keep a beat on his own set for any sustained period.

**Don't forget that Morgan and Francesconi are the arrangers.

And yeah, uh, you were at the Sunday show, right? She started with Jackrabbits if I'm not mistaken. Continued with two songs (or three) on the piano, one that you can find on Vimeo and the other was Good Intentions Paving Co. She did two songs from her first album: Sadie and The Book of Right-On. Last song was Emily, encore was a song I forgot the name at the moment (someone requested Only Skin). And yeah. that's from the top of my head though.

To: illicitizen ([email protected])

Apologies for not showing up at your show tonight after clicking "yes".  I suppose we got there too early - around 9:35.  The parking lot was completely empty and there was a bearded guy standing on the sidewalk talking to the sky.  Decided not to stop this time.  Hope it went well.
I'm not going to dignify it with a response but I really just wanted to say, "stay in your fucking exurb enclave and watch TV or go listen to some dadrock blues whilst having a choco-tini you pussy assed mother fuckers." BTW, this was from a drummer that we entertained playing with. Good luck with the fern bar circuit, bitch. /RANTOFF

Joanna Newom was brilliant! Played a whole bunch of songs including the whole first disc of Have One on Me except '81 and a few others from the album and then Peach, Plumb, Pear, The Book of Right On, and Inflammatory Writ from Milk Eyed Mender. Nothing off Ys sadly. Was supposed to play Monkey and Bear but one of the pedals on her harp broke so she couldn't :-( That aside it was a really amazing show. Didn't hurt that I was about 20 feet away from her the whole time.

oh man I saw FotC at Sasquatch in '08, waited all day at the front of the pit for their set. so worth it. they KILLED. and looked so flabbergasted that the entire gorge was screaming when they came out. also when a chick in front of me threw her bra at them and it got caught in jemaine's guitar and he threw it at bret.

when their set was over it was the saddest moment of the weekend.

anyway to make this relevant to your post SEE THEM LIVE they are fantastic. a lot of people complain about their show and say shit like "Waahh all they do is play their songs" but dude. they are like, a band. that's the point, rite?

You could probably go to a Joanna Newsom show with suit made out of dollar bills and emerge intact.

Sweeping generalizations aside, I've not been to her shows, but $75 - $100 or so usually covers most of what's desirable from what bands offer, unless you want all her T-shirts

Post by: scarred on 24 Mar 2010, 22:15
well, I said what's desirable, not what's fiscally responsible. I generally never exceed 20 bucks or so, and that usually ends up translating to just a t-shirt unless it's a band I really, really like.

They were sold out of the new LP when I saw her, and all the shirts - though well designed - didn't appeal to me. I imagine they've got new supplies of the LP though.

Abe Vigoda show was disappointing but only because of Circumstances™

They were opening for Vampy Weekend who I didn't want to see but the friend I was goin with did.  My window busted on the way there so that I couldn't close it, so then we had to go get his car so none of my stuff would get stolen.  I ended up only hearing half of Bear Face and then no more Abe Vigoda.  Vampy Weekend proceeded to suck.

May 19 seeing Eluvium in NY...playing as a TRIO!! I'm so fucking excited!!
And then MONO in June at least once, maybe two or three times depending on what else is going on.
Aaaand maybe Stars whenever they tour for their new album. Not a bad live show, that.
And then hopefully Wolf Parade who also put on a killer show and Wintersleep who should be touring for their newest. The latter two toured together a couple years ago and it was pretty awesome.
LCD Soundsystem in NY would be good. Playing surprisingly small venues relative to status but I'm not complaining. Except I probably will be when tickets sell out instantly.
All very tentative.

I dunno, I guess I'm used to small venues in Philly where most of the shows I see are between $10 and $20 and NY where you they're $12-$20. For a band of Wolf Parades' status, $25 just seems disproportionately high.

Last week I saw Beach House in Minneapolis, with opener Bachelorette.  Bachelorette was okay if not terribly compelling, but she had an adorable Kiwi accent. She had a lot of very carefully constructed songs that she put together with a loop pedal, a few instruments and a fairly powerful voice. The she played reminded me of the first time I saw St. Vincent, before she was touring with a band. 

Beach House were excellent. The venue was full of folding chairs, but after their third song everyone stood up. I danced around, not like frantically or like I would a dance show, but the fact that the music moved me in that way at all was sort of surprising, as I tend to think of Beach House as a pretty relaxing affair.  I also was apparently on the verge of forgetting how much I love Beach House before I went to the show; the friend who I'd planned to go with flaked out on me and I was getting anxious about going to the show alone, but the band just lit up my insides like warm honey. So worth it. Every song went off brilliantly.

This Sunday I'm going to see Major Lazer with Rusko and I'm ridiculously pumped. I'm just going to sweat my brain out of head it'll soak into everyone else and we'll dance and feel and oh god it's gonna be great

This is awesome! I was kind of expecting John to play some keys on the last tour based on him basically playing nothing but keys on the Satanic Messiah and Black Pear Tree EPs which came out not long before those shows but he didn't, not that I was complaining.

Freelance Whales in my local record store was awesome, if extremely over crowded (record store day last year was nowhere near this crowded when they had The Spinto Band playing).  I loved how they seemed to play a little game of musical chairs with their instruments between many songs.  I also love that all of them sung most of the lyrics (even if two of them were extra quiet about it).  It made a really nice vocal sound.

I also happened to catch a local band called "Diego Paulo" who are absolutely sweet.  When their new album drops in a month I'm totally buying it.

I'm pretty jealous of this.  I passed the tickets by when they initially went on sale because I was short on funds and did not know if I'd like their new album.  Now said album has leaked and it's absolutely terrific and the tickets are all gone.   :-(  I even looked on ticketsnow/stubhub and the cheapest I found was $58 per, which I don't think I'd pay to see anyone.

Holy shit guys.

My best friend's family goes to the Jazz & Heritage Festival in New Orleans every year. This year, his sister can't go because she's swamped in schoolwork.

Which means that they have an extra ticket to the festival, an extra hotel room, and an extra round-trip plane ticket from NYC to NOLA, all of which he just offered me for free.

Holy shit.

Only problem is, the plane ticket might be non-transferable, so I'm going to have to cross my fingers while they barter with The Man to let me on board.

But if that works out I'm fucking going to Jazz Fest!

Yeah, I was looking at Porcupine Tree myself, but my wife didn't seem to thrilled about it so I didn't get tickets.   Maybe I'll go anyway.  My kid asked to go see Gwar there on the 18th of June.  Seems a shame to spray fake blood on such a nice venue, but whatever.     I'll also be down at the Canal Club this Friday because she's got a gig subbing for someone who couldn't make his own show.  Don't know the name of the band or when, just Friday in Richmond, I'll be watching her.

Nab, he's too busy tweeting about how videogames aren't art.

But I think they are art! Way to read, lameburger.

Actually I haven't been posting because after seeing a Mountain Goats show, my feeble attempts at stringing words together in sentences just end up with me feeling very inadequate indeed. The Dude Is A Raconteur. He Is The Raconteurest.

Also, the reports are true, John Darnielle is playing keyboards on stage and he is rocking that shit in all of the ways. They opened with 1 Samuel 15:23 (the opening track off of the most recent LP) and he was all standing hunched over the keyboard, one foot perched on the piano stool, swaying and jive and stabbing at the keys like a warlock over a boiling cauldron, grinning like a madman. He told many stories between songs and teased people with the prospect of playing "Dance Music" which is my favourite Mtn Gts song ever, but then he did not play thatm he played another song (something off of Tallahassee, I'm horrible with song titles). But it was OK because then he played it later. He is good like that. I had the most gigantic smile on my face the entire time, I'm sure I was a sight to see. Even during the incredibly depressing songs. Later on he spent a good half a verse singing directly to my girlfriend and I was quite jealous.

Also I saw Regina Spektor on Wednesday so now I am feeling extra inadequate! But also good because they were both amazing shows and I want to steal both Regina and Mr. Darnielle and make them my pets. I would love them forever.

Dead Meadow were rad.  Totally worth having to wait for another bus in the cold for like fifty minutes (bus broke down on the way home at 2 am)

got a t-shirt and the Three Kings double album on LP which came with a dvd and an address to legally download the album (which is a bit of a waste considering I downloaded it from here a few days ago, but still)

highlight of the show: hearing them play Sleepy Silver Door complete with massively extended soloing, and craziness on bass and drums.

Wolf Parade are really good live. I saw them accidentally when a friend had a free ticket and I had a lot of fun, in spite of the fact that I don't own or listen to any of their records.

The Dead Weather! Such a good show.

Yes! Yes it was. I saw them at NOLA Jazz Fest on Sunday and they rocked it. Jack picked up a guitar and sang for a few tracks towards the end, which I gather never happens.

I also saw Earth, Wind, & Fire, Band of Horses, and Pearl Jam.

Pearl Jam were boring but did a decent cover of Kick Out the Jams.

My heart now belongs to Amanda Shaw. For reference:

3. The Motion Makes Me Last
4. Radio Ballet
5. Weird Creatures

The more I think about it, the more frickin amazing I realize this Zola Jesus show I'm going to will be. I mean it's ZJ along with Nice Face and Effie Briest. No possible way it won't be awesome. Not that I'm hoping summer goes by quickly but I can't wait for this show.

oh man i just got home from a silver mt zion. fucking incredible.

Edit: just wanted to throw in a few more words. they were a bit quieter this time than they were in 2008, but i think thats mostly due to the loss of guitar and cello. the actual music didn't hurt too much from the loss of members though. they made up for all the missing instruments with what was left, which was cool. the crowd banter was also a bit weaker this time, but i think thats cause efrim was asking the audience if anyone had any questions and nobody was able to think of good ones. my cousin who saw them in NY and then again with me tonight said they had much better questions in NY so the banter was better. they played metal bird, there is a light, engine broke blues, god bless our dead marines, 13 blues, and they encored with microphones in the trees. overall, it was a great show.

Eluvium was just ok. I mean it was pretty good but it was easily the least good of all the times I've seen him. Frankly the trio didn't do much for me. There was an over reliance on new material which hurt the set. The volume was WAY too low. Dunno if this is a new approach or just the venue but every other time I've seen Eluvium, which is many, he's basically blown my ear drums out with awesomely immense walls of sound. Not so tonight. Not even close. When I play my Eluvium records it's usually louder than it was tonight live. The result was a much more subdued show that bordered on being uninteresting a couple times. It made me sad since I know he has the potential to put on powerful live shows but he really fell flat tonight.

Saw the Black Keys & Pearl Jam tonight.  Because of traffic we only got to see a few of the Keys songs, which I was kinda pissed about cuz I was more excited to see them.  I really wish their solo shows weren't sold out :(   And Pearl Jam was pretty good, played an almost 3 hour set, really high energy and mixed it up, and Vedder actually sounds better LIVE than on record, his voice is that amazing.

Holy shit guys, the past few days have been amazing. Like, I have seen so much awesome music my brain can't even begin to explain it to itself.

Basically I thought yesterday was going to be a bit of a low point, but I ended up seeing Grizzly Bear, Polvo, Built to Spill, So Cow, Dum Dum Girls, Sunny Day Real Estate, Nana Grizol (who were staying in the same hostel as us, and we had drunken hanging out with), Matt and Kim, the Pet Shop Boys (who actually were fantastic), Health (this was actually a semi religiuos experience, no joke), and Fake Blood.

And yesterday I saw Low, Spoon, Wilco, the Pixies, Diplo, Yeasayer, and the New Pornographers. Basically, every song that I heard yesterday I knew all the words to.

Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
Post by: Inlander on 30 May 2010, 17:43
Yes.

They fall firmly into the category of "bands that don't really deviate from the recorded versions of their songs, but play each song with such skill and tightness that by the end of the show you're a bit awe-struck." Hopefully you're seeing them in a small venue, though. (Note also that they probably won't play many songs from earlier than Let's Get Out of This Country. They'll probably play "Teenager" and maybe one or two others from Underachievers Please Try Harder, but for the most part the set will be recent songs.)

How did you think the lineup was, in terms of overlapping? I figured since it's such a short period of time and that many bands, you must miss a bunch..

Post by: StaedlerMars on 31 May 2010, 13:24
It was the most painful choices of my life.

I ended up going with the "This band will be expensive to see in the future, or I might not get the chance again" principle. A lot of the less popular bands also played in other places in the city during the day or days before and after the festival. For example, King Khan & the BBQ Show, Smith Westerns, Dum Dum Girls, Real Estate, the Ganglians, played in a park on the other end of town outside of official festival times. I also managed to catch a lot of bands that came through Glasgow's Stag & Dagger festival before heading to Primavera.

But I do think the festival made some weird choices in starting bands at exactly the same time.

The most upsetting choice was Broken Social Scene versus Tortoise, mainly because it was obvious that I was going to go see Broken Social Scene, but seeing Tortoise would have been really awesome as well.

Last night @ Issue Project Room:
"On June 4th Grouper will perform pieces from her album Way Their Crept for the first time outside of Portland, as well as new keyboard material in a special set at Issue Project Room.  These pieces have not been possible to perform before because of the logistics of playing live with an instrument as heavy and fragile as the keyboard used.

A second special set of a new tape collage called “Ascend/Descend” will be performed through the IPR’s 16 channel surround-sound system on June 4th."

I was there and it fucking ruled!

Get on it! They were great, as were The Afternoon Gentlemen and Joe Pesci. I'm amazed some people had the energy to mosh though, the room was a total sweatbox. Just standing up for the duration of the set was gruelling enough for me. I still don't understand how my mate Rich managed to drum for Joe Pesci, sing for the Gents straight afterwards and is going to be playing one more JP set when they support Magrudergrind again tonight in Newcastle. Brutal.

Camera Obscura were pretty great.  I felt like I would have enjoyed it more were I more familiar with their music; after a while, all the songs sort of started to bleed together and feel the same.  They played them all super well though

Opening was a band called The Love Language, who were also good and had great energy on stage

The problem with this festival is that I've already roped my friends who would be into this music into going to one festival this year (which, granted, was awesome). I doubt they would be down for it again. And my friends here in Belgium could be convinced to buy tickets for Blink 182.

But that's okay cause on that day the flaming lips, garcia, fuck buttons, and so i watch you from afar, minus the bear, frightened rabbit and chase & status are also playing. Plus, because there's so many bands I've already seen, I wouldn't feel too bad about missing so many bands.

I'm thinking about this, and probably will definitely do it if I have a job this summer once I get back to Edinburgh.

They were outside of the barriers? I mean, they played in the middle of a suburban mall parking lot. That shit can hold a liot of people, and there were a shitload of people just sitting on the grass. Plus, since the band heard that the media were hyping the show, they naturally decided to put the barriers further from the stage.

Going to Siren on Coney Island this year. It's free so why the hell not. Not as good a lineup as some previous years (they had Broken Social Scene two years ago which is a tough act to follow) but Matt and Kim, Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Wye Oak, and a bunch of others is nothing to scoff at I suppose.

Last Thursday I went to see awesome local band Mikelangelo & the Tin Star play a fairwell (for now) show at the Northcote Social Club (one of the best venues in town). Some of you may know of Mikelangelo from his previous band, Mikelangelo & the Black Sea Gentlemen. Mikelangelo & the Tin Star play surf & western music, some of it instrumental and some of it not, and they're one of the few bands around whose only ambition seems to be to have fun and give everyone a good time. Mikelangelo is a natural frontman, a brilliant extrovert:; he has a hilarious "origin myth" song about how he was born from an egg that fell from a tree beneath which his parents were having passionate sex: according to the song his "parents" put the egg in a barn, whereupon it hatched and Mikelangelo was born, "looks like a bull but sings like a nightingale" (which is a pretty accurate description of the man, though I don't know if nightingales come in baritone). In another song, which is typically the band's set closer, Mikelangelo proclaims "action is my middle name", and sets about running through the audience, leaping off bars and shouting in people's faces. It's hilarious and exhilirating all at once - especially when, as on this occasion, he's wearing nothing but a pair of outrageous striped swimming trunks, complete with belt loops (and belt).

The band's touring Europe in the next couple of months, I think, so I'll try to find out some dates and locations and let you all know because if you go see them you'll definitely have a lot of fun.

Guys, Broken Social Scene are really good live.

Like I enjoy the albums but they were so much better live it was kind of crazy.

I also sort of half expected the venue to be full of hipsters, but since I 'm pretty sure Hipsters do not exist in Yorkshire it was mostly just full of people who like music.

Besides I think the British equivalent of hipsters read the NME and like the kaiser chiefs. I would probably swap American hipsters for British hipsters.

I've never listened to Starfucker (at least not that I can remember) but The Octopus Project was a huge, dripping gateway into electronic/live hybrid music, the type of which has since been perfected by Fnessnej.

also half the time the band dresses in drag.

This show was incredibly sick.  I danced more or less continuously between arriving and leaving.  The DJs threw up a good mix of house, electro, dubstep, disco-y tunes, and grime shit.  I was kind of surprised Nero didn't play more of his biggest tracks, like "Innocence," or his remixes of "Act Like You Know" or "I'm Not Your Toy." I still had a crazy amount of fun, though.

guys capn jazz was the most intense fucking show i have ever been to. like, 5 seconds after they started playing the black cat just went fucking apeshit. like, 6 or 7 songs in they played little leauge and i unfortunately had to pull myself out at that point because i was about to pass out from physical exaustion. they played take on me for their second to last song though and i went back in and shouted into the mic and it was so awesome and basically other than the fact that i was drenched in sweat and felt like i was about to die capn jazz was the best fucking show i have ever been to.

Modest Mouse were pretty good, except the sound system kind of blew.  I also don't think the theater could handle that many mic's, it seemed to take them a while to take stage, a little longer between songs, and there was like 15 minutes between the set and encore.  I was a little disapointed they didn't play more off of We Were Dead... though.  They did justice to some of their newer stuff.

Modest Mouse, tomorrow night.  Thoroughly excited, since the venue they're playing is great and the last time I saw them I had to leave early because I was getting my wisdom teeth taken out early the next morning.

Psh, they were just gonna knock you out for the operation, it's not like you were gonna miss sleep.

Exactly what I was thinking!

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?

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.

The rest of that tour, including my city, might not catch them now.

Pretty cool of them, really...after something like that I'd be way too pissed to deal with touring. Poor guys.

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?

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.

Quote tunnel! Actually I saw them again on Saturday at a festival because apparently The Tallest Man on Earth cancelled (I was angry), and they sounded a lot better.

Also. LCD Soundsystem was really mindblowing live. I have mixed feelings about Fever Ray, pretty awesome visually but after like 5 minutes you got the gist of the show. Sounded fantastic though. Caribou was not at all what I expected and was amazing. The National were pretty awesome as well.

Also, I'm going to go to a gig in Glasgow on the 30th of a couple of local Glasgow bands - Barn Owl (I met these guys in Barcelona and they're pretty awesome/good), Dam Mantle, Conquering Animal Sound, and Song of Return that are trying to raise money to open a venue in Glasgow.

Entry is 5 pounds, and it's at Stereo, and there'd be DJing late into the night interested?

why have I not heard about this?

I went to Dublin with one of my goals being to watch The Tallest Man on Earth and they CANCELLED! So, I will be there.

SHIT WILCO! My discount train tickets may be of use after all!

PS you should get that, not that Edinburgh is interesting if you're in Glasgow, but it's 25 quid that makes travel in the UK about 40% cheaper.

Tonight I went to a local tiny pub/venue I love called the Old Bar and saw a couple of bands for only A$7 including Emperor X all the way from the U.S. I think I've vaguely heard of him before but I wasn't familiar with any of his music - turns out he's awesome! His songs are great and he's a totally engaging performer. (The Old Bar is about the size of a large sitting-room and always has great music, including sometimes overseas bands who are yet to make names for themselves - Okkervil River performed there on their first trip to Australia.)

I loved Japandroids, but the last time I saw them was seriously one of the best shows I've ever been to. It was at NXNE here - the place was packed to the brim, and people just went apeshit for them. Hearing "Younger Us" live was truly amazing. The other bands that played that show were all good, though - Wavves, The Happy Hollows, and Grooms.

I've seen them more than a dozen times (Doug lives here) and they have never put on a bad show.  That said the most I have ever paid to see them was $20, and I usually pay $10 or less.  I guess it really depends on how much you like them, and how much you are willing to drop on a concert.  If you are worried about a good show, though, it will be.

Last night I went to a "little bands" night at the Melbourne Fringe Festival. Basically it was something of a homage to the little bands scene in Melbourne in the late seventies and early eighties, where there were a whole bunch of bands that would form for one gig, and then the bands would break up and form other one-gig bands with other people. So last night there were six bands each made up of three to four musicians from various established local bands, all playing their first and only gig together. They each played fifteen minute sets and some were better than others. I didn't stay for the last one because it was getting close to midnight and I had to catch the last tram home, but of the ones I saw the best by far was a four-piece who called themselves the Ray Davies. They'd written a bunch of fantastic songs which were basically the pure essence of rock 'n' roll: three minutes long, simple lyrics about going out and hooking up with girls, played with great enthusiasm. Oh and they were all wearing suits, which always helps if you're harking back to a fifties/sixties musical aesthetic.

Basically what I'm saying is I wish the Ray Davies were a real band instead of just a one-off because their set was the funnest fifteen minutes I've had at a gig for ages.

Grouper is only one person.

Sorry I know this is days late but I always have an uncontrollable urge to correct people who refer to solo artists in the plural. Would also say that she A) is not Chillwave in the least (not sure what releases you're listening to) and B) puts on a really haunting live show

Do let us know the setlist. From what I've heard it's almost completely Age of Adz, which isn't a bad thing, but man, if I don't hear Casimir Pulaski Day I might actually cry.

I saw a setlist posted online for the show last night, I believe. It was literally all from Age of Adz and All Delighted People minus Chicago and the encore, which were Concerning the UFO Sighting and John Wayne Gacy, Jr.  I kind of hope the list isn't static throughout the tour, but I'll bet it is.

Just got back from tonight's concert in Minneapolis. He's definitely not keeping everything the same (outside the core pieces to promote Age of Adz), which is awesome.  Casimir Pulaski Day made it into the encore and blew me away. We didn't get John Wayne Gacy, Jr. or Decatur, though. But he basically pulled The Dress Looks Nice on You together kind of on a whim, which was a treat.  Looks like the Canadians got screwed out of an amazing encore, thought still good in my opinion.

So Sunday was Day 2 of Treasure Island Music Fest. HOLY SHIT.

Superchunk: Last three songs were "Hyper Enough (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rRIMY3nHRg)", "Slack Motherfucker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVsydcqxOAE)" and "Precision Auto (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQq9Ok3TKz0)". Basically for like 15 minutes I was non-stop headbanging and moshing.

She and Him: I was pretty much taken aback for how good they were, although Zooey probably was probably sick as she couldn't hit certain notes and such. Several guys had written "Marry Me" on their hands and it had been picked up on the Jumbotron; if I had a sharpie on me I probably would've written "Divorce Ben", just to be a cock.

Broken Social Scene: Crazily epic, although Brendan's guitars kept fucking up, and whoever did sound kept the banjo muted for "Anthems for a 17-Year-Old Girl." Regardless, it was ridiculously epic.

The National: Matt basically stormed through the crowd on their last song. My roommate copped a feel. Like She and Him, I had never really listened to their stuff much but was pretty impressed with them.

Belle and Sebastian: "I'm a Cuckoo" was the SECOND FUCKING SONG. They also played such hits like "Like Dylan in the Movies", "Piazza New York Catcher" (being that it was in San Francisco, Stuart did cheer the Giants, saying "The Phillies don't stand a chance!"), "Step Into My Office, Baby", "Sukie in the Graveyard", "Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying", and guess what the encore was?

JUDY AND THE MOTHERFUCKING DREAM OF SHITTING HORSES.

Man, being that I saw Sloan in February, Bottomless Pit and Police Teeth in June, and Belle and Sebastian two nights ago, that means I've seen four out of my five favorite bands of all time this year. Hey Neil Young, playing any shows soon?

Having said that, Primavera Sound will announce their first bands for next summer tonight. I've already bought tickets? The festival is in May? What?

And, I'm going to go see Yeasayer again on Sunday! I think there's like ten of my friends going, that is the most people I will know at a concert I go to.

Then again I also still haven't listened to Lisbon and I definitely do care about The Walkmen. Ehhhh, in time.

Tonight, looking for something to do, I checked the gig listings at a few of my favourite local venues. Imagine my surprise when I saw that Mick Turner, of the Dirty Three (and I think the only member of that band still permanently living in Melbourne), was playing at Bar Open, one of the main venues for local live music in this part of Melbourne. Bar Open is a pretty small venue with a bar downstairs and a band room upstairs. It has live music almost every night of the week and gigs there are nearly always free. Including tonight's.

So to sum up, I just got back from a free 45-minute set by the guitarist from the greatest band Australia's ever produced, playing alongside a drummer whose name I didn't catch but who was really good. On a Thursday night. Oh, and afterwards he was selling C.D.s out of a suitcase on the side of the stage for A$10 each. Amazing.

I know this thread is about future shows but seriously I keep finding out about local shows at the last minute and then they keep being awesome. After awesome Mick Turner on Thursday night last night there was awesome local dude Oliver Mann (you may remember me mentioning him frequently in the past) playing in the gorgeous Richmond Uniting Church to launch his new 7" "Country Wedding". He played unamplified as much as was possible (it's a pretty small church and everyone there was absolutely silent). "Country Wedding" is a two-part song (corresponding to the A and B sides of the vinyl) and the second part is an instrumental, and when he played it it turned out he'd planted a few people in the audience with bells, and when they started ringing them softly it was completely unexpected and absolutely stunning. One of them was sitting right behind me. Seriously I think Oliver Mann's my favourite Melbourne musician.

Just got back from Titus Andronicus w/ Shapes, The Nineties, and Boy Meets God. They played in a auto garage here on campus that's been converted into a concert space and can really hold no more than 150 or so max. That being said the show was insanely packed and I'm now immensely sore from being punched, kicked, elbowed, kneed, stepped on, and shoved for three hours straight. It was essentially one massive, insane mosh pit, at least for the two main bands (Shapes and Titus). In other words, it fucking ruled. I was no more than five feet from the stage the whole show and often was right up against it (this stage is about lower-calf height mind you) the whole time. Great, great show.

I just saw Fucked Up and Burning Love for the Halloween show here. Amazing show. Fucked Up were dressed up as grunge kids and played a set of 90s shit (Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Hole, etc.) and then a bunch of originals. I'm just about going deaf right now, cause kids who didn't know how to stage-dive kept falling on the side of my face, and my phone and one of my shoes is broken, but it was worth it.

I can't get that stoked on Girl Talk these days (though I was listening to him earlier today, go figure), but his live shows are something to behold. You should probably go.


When I saw him there were giant beachballs, confetti, streamers, and um...oh yeah...an inflatable whale the size of a school bus. It's a blast. That was at a big outdoors festival type deal though, so if it's a smaller place it probably won't get that crazy.

Still recommend it though, his mixes feel much less boring and souless live.

I saw Kayo Dot last night. Considering I adore pretty much all of Toby Driver's music, I expected to be impressed, but they just blew my fucking mind. Seeing them live brings a whole new context to their music, and if anything makes sense of it - the Coyote material, for one, was incomparably better in a live setting.

Seeing DJ Shadow tomorrow, as well. Really excited for that, since I've never seen him, and I hear this tour will be kind of like In Tune and On Time was.

Post by: StaedlerMars on 15 Nov 2010, 14:09
Last year it was fantastic, I bought tickets this year without knowing any of the bands that were going to be playing. It's great because it isn't your usual festival situation, you're in the middle of Barcelona, and you can rent an apartment (I think this is our plan this year) with a couple of people or just crash in a hostel for about a week. They're really relaxed on bringing in drinks, and it's easily one of the cheapest festivals out there. As it stands tickets are 130 euros, but I think they're going up in price tomorrow?

Also, it's on the beach, so when you're done with the music (which starts at about 6 in the afternoon, but goes on until 6 in the morning) you can go swimming in the sea! Or you know, when you wake up, just go hang out on the beach!

Turned out to be not so bad. Scotrail put a couple of extra trains in service, there was just a lot of queueing (40 minutes) to get on the train, the train ride took two and a half hours, but we left early enough to still make it to the Barrowlands on time, missed most of the support though. There was a last train at 11.16 which we managed to crawl onto and was absolutely packed. In the end, I did a lot of complaining about nothing.

Wacken Line-ups shaping up nicely as always. Going to be plugging some pretty major holes in my list of metal bands I have to say, mostly the holes called Judas Priest, Sodom, Morbid Angel, Tsjuder and Mayhem, though I guess if I go see Ozzy I can basically say I've seen Black Sabbath since I saw Heaven and Hell before Dio died.

This might be the last Wacken I go to actually, at least for a while. I want to maybe save the money and go to some more targeted European gigs, which is pretty much the only way I'm going to be able to watch a lot of the post-industrial acts I want to see.

I'm going to see Cat Power tonight! While I've been a fan of her music for ages and Moon Pix is one of my very favourite albums I've never seen her live, mainly because I was put off by too many stories from the late 90s/early 00s of her shows being absolute train wrecks. But I think she's tightened up her act since then? Anyway apparently Jim White's in her band tonight so that alone is going to be worth seeing.

Also Sufjan Stevens in just over a week. I thought his show was sold out but I looked again and apparently there were 24 seats left.

Oh hello there credit card, my old friend.
Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
Post by: Inlander on 21 Jan 2011, 05:35
I just got back from Cat Power. A very large part of her set seemed to be composed of new songs, some of which sounded really good, but it would've been nice to hear some more familiar stuff, too. Though the older songs she did play was usually changed drastically: "The Greatest", for instance, was slowed down so much that it was almost unrecognisable. Nonetheless, there were a few highlights which I'll list in no particular order:

1) Jim White is currently sporting a mad scientist hair-do. Imagine a Russian icon, if the halo around the head was dark brown and made of hair. I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty awesome.
2) It was Chan Marshall's birthday, and after a few people shouted out happy birthday to her after a while into the set the crowd launched into a spontaneous chorus of "Happy Birthday". It was a pretty cute moment, and it was only made better by how obvious it was that no-one really knew how to pronounce the name "Chan", certainly not in an Australian accent, and the whole song dissolved into mumbles.
3) For the very last song Chan and the band played "Metal Heart", which was perhaps not surprising but was welcome all the same. I absolutely adore that song and I can truly say that very few performances have made me as happy as hearing that song being played with Jim White (who drummed on Moon Pix) behind the drumkit.
4) I met a really cute and really smart girl who when I suggested we keep in touch asked me my surname and promised to find me on Facebook!

EDIT: Oh, and 5) Chan Marshall, after playing a new song: "That song's not a virgin any more, but it wasn't fucked right."

Aberdeen eh? I'm really bummed out that they're doing all of Scotland but skipping Edinburgh until the 21st. Totally going to see them on the 21st though, that is, it Seetickets remember to send me my ticket.

Went to go see a friend's band tonight, and was really pleasantly surprised by them. Their myspace page doesn't do them justice at all, which I thought was a bit upsetting, because that is pretty much the only way that I could try to convince other people to go see them except for word being "they're really good, trust me".

Hey guys sorry I keep posting in this thread after the fact when it's mean to be about shows you're looking forward to but SUFJAN STEVENS LAST NIGHT, OH MY GOD.

I saw him when he came out here in 2008 and while I thought it was a very good show I didn't think it was amazing, apart from in isolated moments like when he sang "Casimir Pulaski Day". Plus, even though I like the Age of Adz if you'd told me before last night's concert that his set would consist almost entirely of songs from that album I would've been underwhelmed.

But after seeing last night's show I think I appreciate and understand the album a whole lot more.

First up, the visuals: it's so rare in the indie world for a band to go all-out with the visuals, but Stevens' show was in a major theatre (allocated seating! A top-of-the-line sound-system and proper mixing!) and the show itself was suitably theatrical. The band's clothes were all adorned with fluorescent paint and fluorescent strips in various colours, and when the lights were dim they shone out amazingly. There was a backdrop behind the band onto which was projected brilliantly executed animations which actually related to and informed upon the songs being performed. During the finale (more about that later) Stevens adopted a succession of ridiculous head-dresses which made him look like he was auditioning for a part in some indie Village People act. Only in a good way. His back-up singers performed synchronised dance moves but not so slickly that it seemed over-rehearsed. In fact the whole thing had a lovely DIY aesthetic which stopped it all from seeming too slick.

There were eleven people on stage, including two drummers and two trombone players. The sound was absolutely huge. The experience was of an artist finally shaking of his past achievements and screaming in full flight into the future, and that excitement carried over into the audience.

The last song before the inevitable encore was "Impossible Soul" - all 25 minutes of it. Before performing it Stevens told the audience all about his experiences of beginning to write the Age of Adz, and about how he'd started experimenting with a different style of songwriting in which he went into the studio and started with a sound and saw where it took him, and explained that "Impossible Soul" was the culmination of that. By this stage I think even the Illinoise die-hards in the audience had been won over by the sheer power and exuberance of the show, but hearing him explain the process of starting making music again, and explain why Adz is so different from his previous work, it was impossible not to feel happy for the guy because he was so obviously relieved and excited about this new stage in his musical career. All the way through the set a translucent screen had been going up and down in front of the band, with images projected onto it, and then part-way into "Impossible Soul" another screen, previously unseen, in the shape of an enormous diamond, came down mid-stage, and the two dancers started dancing behind it, silhouetted, and different colours were projected onto it, and it looked amazing. And then, most extraordinary of all, at the peak of "Impossible Soul" just over half way through the song hundreds of balloons of all colours and sizes were loosed from the ceiling and fell down onto the audience, and there was an explosion of glitter on the stage, and the dancers encouraged everyone in the audience to stand up from their seats which everyone did in an incredible rolling wave from the front of the theatre to the back, and for the next ten minutes everyone in the audience was standing and dancing and batting balloons around to each-other and it was unbelievable, just the perfect joyous culmination to a spectacular gig.

There was about a five minute standing ovation before Stevens and then the band came back out onstage for the encore, which consisted of three songs from Illinoise: "Concerning the UFO sighting . . ." and "John Wayne Gacy, Jr." (both Stevens solo, first on piano then on guitar), and then, of course, "Chicago". And then it was over. Two hours precisely of one of the best and most amazing gigs I've ever been to.

Pretty sure I'm going to see Explosions in the Sky at Radio City Music Hall. Eluvium and mother fuckin' Low are both opening. Of course all the other times I've those three bands the shows were in small churches, basements, or regular venues with around a 500 person or less capacity which I much prefer to a big seated event but it's just too hard to pass up seeing this

so....Portugal. The Man is playing in Bellingham on Friday...

i kind of want to go but i have this sinking feeling that they might suck live. I don't know why. I have no reason to think that, it's just sort of a gut instinct. It could be totally wrong though! Has anyone here seen them before that can confirm/deny this baseless feeling i have?

also, there are going to be truckloads of hipsters and college kids there and I really hate like 90% of my peers....so I don't know if I want to put myself in that situation. Seriously why is so much of my generation so fucking annoying?!

Oh wow, the Mann brothers, (Oliver Mann and Paddy Mann, aka Grand Salvo), two of my favourite local acts, are both playing sets in the same show along with two other bands at the place I used to live around the corner from on Sunday night. The explanation for the show, from the venue's website:

Quote
Truly, an iconic Brunswickian feline and staunch supporter of Melbourne’s indie music scene, was recently attacked by escaped huskies and left in a critical condition. TRULY MADLY DEEPLY aims to raise money for precious Truly’s medical treatment, with any further proceeds going towards animals affected by the recent east coast floods.

Having established that I'll be going to a benefit gig for an injured cat tonight . . . Last night, out and about in Fitzroy looking for something to do, I was walking past one of my favourite local live venues and I noticed that a friend's band was playing. I went in, and noticing that there was an unusually large number of bands on the bill that night, I found my friend and asked him what the occasion was. He explained to me that it was a benefit gig for a sick whippet.

No joke.

OK, so one of my friends is thinking of selling his Godspeed ticket. This is either where I a) kill him, or b) try to convince him to sell it to me. I already sort of tried, but he claims that he wants to sell it for a lot of money (assuming that he can), and that he would feel bad selling it to me for that much, but that he also needs the money. I NEED THAT TICKET.

Yo La Tengo were pretty good! Except that I think they've reached the stage of their touring life where they're bored of appeasing anyone. Their entire tour is based around bringing a giant wheel (of fortune style) and spinning it to determine what set they play. We landed on "Sounds of Science", so the first half of the night was dedicated to ambient stuff.

And they didn't play Sugarcube what the fuck.

I went to see Swans! Best show I've ever been to. Met the band, they signed all my stuff, really humble people, great live musicians.

Here is a video of the intro to "No Words / No Thoughts" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv62aNFgjl8). Swans are sort of like a drone-metal band with good stage presence - they played 8 songs for about 3 hours total. They even played a new song, which was billed as "NEW SONG" on the setlist but I was close enough to see Michael Gira's handwritten lyric sheet for the track and it is apparently called "Apostate". The camera-phone recording I got of it is mostly dull, since the sound blows, but the final 40 seconds or so are made up a Phil Puleo drum solo that just about destroyed me. When I get the video to post, that "Holy Shit!" you hear at the end is me.

(http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/184609_10150153331049388_589819387_8261969_7284439_n.jpg)
Opener was a band called Wooden Wand, sort of an outlaw country / blues band. They were pretty good.

(http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/183300_10150153331104388_589819387_8261970_6417932_n.jpg)

Chris Pravdica (of Flux Information Sciences, Services, etc.), bass player. It was tough to get a frontward view of the guy, but we chatted him up real good after the show. He was in a seminal Massachusetts band called... The Interminable Popes? Something sort of like that.

(http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/185776_10150153331274388_589819387_8261974_5856720_n.jpg)
The elusive Thor Harris, of Shearwater, a talented multi-instrumentalist who played a number of percussive and melodic instruments. Favorite had to be xylophone bars played with violin strings. He is a hairy manly man but he is possibly the sweetest guy you could ever talk to.

From where we were standing, we barely had view of Thor (and no view whatsoever of Phil Puleo, unfortunately).

(http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/182988_10150153332504388_589819387_8261987_760913_n.jpg)
Michael Gira is as much a conductor as a singer. It seems like he changes arrangements on the fly and directs his bandmates to hold their bludgeoning for another bar or bring in the cymbal crashes early. His perfectionism is off-putting to some extent (makes him look like a bossy boss) but it certainly fits with his persona as a mad genius.=

(http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/183268_10150153332664388_589819387_8261988_6940698_n.jpg)
When Norman Westburg isn't playing, he stands exactly like this, motionless, with a contemptuous scowl on his face. It's actually really intimidating. Where Michael Gira is a whirlwind of manic energy, Westburg exudes barely controlled violence. We were standing right in front of him and I was genuinely worried he would hurt me, since I was blatantly filming and snapping shots. He had a red splotch on his left shoe that may or may not have been blood.

(http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/181779_10150153333099388_589819387_8261996_3839664_n.jpg)
I like this shot. It's hard to separate out of focus pictures and pictures of motion, but the mic in the foreground is a clear indicator that it's Gira, not the camera, that's moving.

(http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/184296_10150153333659388_589819387_8262001_1078124_n.jpg)
Gira gesticulates wildly during his performances - For such an atheistic individual, his concerts play like Charismatic revivals, with improvised dances, speaking in tongues, and lots of shouting.

(http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/185649_10150153333844388_589819387_8262005_1253952_n.jpg)
Thor with the oboe power.

(http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/181932_10150153332949388_589819387_8261995_6569668_n.jpg)

Highlights of the show were the breakdown in "Sex God Sex" where Gira is left to chant "JESUS CHRIST, COME DOWN, COME DOWN NOW" whilst vigorously slapping himself in the face. Really unexpected and powerful. He also spit on the audience, grabbed and pulled at his crotch, shook his ass (and let audience members slap it) and broke several guitar strings.

Between-song banter: "COLLEGE ROCK... FOLLOWING CLOSELY IN THE STEPS OF ARCADE FIRE" (Gira apparently has a strong dislike of Arcade Fire). Introducing his band and then himself as Sarah Palin. Expressing a wish to taste the bodily fluids of every person in the venue.

Talked a bit to Christoph Hahn (who looks and sounds just like an elderly version of Tommy, oddly enough) and Chris Pradvica, who I didn't realize was in a lot of experimental industrial bands I really enjoy. Phil Puleo and Norman Westburg were not going out to the floor to meet fans but they signed stuff from the stage and were generally friendly. Gira had his signature ten-gallon hat and cigar at the merch table but I only exchanged a few cliched words with him. He has a hells of firm handshake. Thor Harris is a total sweetheart and we met some friends of his who had been guest-listed.

I have more videos but they'll probably have to be uploaded tomorrow!

If you have the chance to see them live, take it. It is so worth it. Buy some earplugs off of Amazon, while you're at it.

8 songs in three hours? Godspeed played 7 songs in two hours twenty minutes, I think the latter's definitely beat.
Yeah, but if you count intros (I don't) it's more like 11 or so. With the extended instrument-bashing passages "I Crawled" was at least half an hour long.

Video of a new Swans song, "Apostate" (http://www.megavideo.com/?v=JTEMSXMT), played last night. It may be the first time it was ever played (at the least, this leg of the tour is its first appearance) - the lyrics sheet was handwritten at least. Sound quality isn't great but it's good enough. Intro ends about 6:35. Money shot is from about 14:35 on, where Phil Puleo melts faces clean off. The "HOLY SHIT" is me.

From what I can remember, the lyrics tended to consist of chants of "INSIDE MY MIND", "LET ME PLAY" and "STAR FUCK".

Oh damn guys, now I discover that Okkervil River are playing near my school in June! But then again they are also playing in Dallas! I guess this is a question of whether I want to see them with Titus Andronicus (at school) or Arcade Fire (at home)!

See Arcade Fire. EitS put on an absolutely amazing show as well. TA are fun but the former will definitely be a better show

Seeing Moore out of the context of Sonic Youth is bound to be great. I saw him with Chris Corsano and Bill Nace doing an hour long improvised noise piece and it was mind blowing. Totally floored me.

Thing is, I'm more excited about the EitS part of that show than Arcade Fire. I've seen Arcade Fire. I can't imagine I have that much to gain by seeing them, especially twice (Okkervil and EitS), and I'm sure their presence will drive up the ticket prices.

Holy shit, Baths was nuts. Braids and Gobble Gobble were both excellent, but Baths takes the cake because he's a pudgy white dude with a Macbook and an MPD32 who managed to get a house full of young, shy indie-types to dance their faces off. Great stage presence too, and just an all-around brilliant show.

Also the lead singer chick from Braids was deathly sick but still managed to kill it with her mad vocal skills. I mean they sound decent on record but live, those kids are massive.

Okay so The Decembrists are playing in Glasgow tomorrow, and I have a ticket, but the guy I was going to go with has just bailed, which means less people to entertain me on the train journey over (although this isn't necessarily a problem, I can bring a book or something), but at the same time there are three flat parties here in Edinburgh I could be attending (one I should be attending, and will be going to once I get back from Glasgow either way) which might be more fun.

Anyone seen The Decembrists yet? Do they play stuff from their newer album (which I love) mainly, or is it a lot of stuff (which I'm less familiar with and enjoy less).

I saw them open for Wilco a few months before their album dropped (and subsequently got named pitchforks album of the year).  Some guys next to me were trashing them, but I really enjoyed the set.  They didn't have the most prodigious stage presence when I saw them, but this was before they could sell out concert houses as headliners.

Joanna Newsom was pretty good. She sure can play and so can her band. But it was the second of two nights in Melbourne, and part way through the set she admitted that entirely unintentionally tonight was the "rocking" set and last night had been the "mellow" set, and to be honest if that's the case I think I would have preferred to go to last night's show. It was great seeing her and her band play the hell out of a bunch of songs, and "Good Intentions Trading Company" in particular was terrifically propulsive with almost every member of the band banging on something percussive, but it's her quieter songs such as "In California"/"Does Not Suffice" that are the ones that really get me. The first song of her encore she played solo, just her and her harp, and it was the best song of the night (I can't remember which one it was, generally I'm not good with song names). Just that one performance was absolutely mesmerising - you know when you're so utterly transfixed by a musical performance that your head starts to feel like a balloon, all light and kind of bobbing about, and you start getting a bit dizzy and it almost becomes like an out-of-body experience? Yeah, I wish there'd been more of that than for just one song. I should report, though that most of the audience absolutely adored the show and gave her two standing ovation.

Still, I'm glad I went if nothing else then because it exorcises one of my great regrets of recent years (forgetting I'd bought a ticket to see her play last year until the morning after the show), and because the show was in the Melbourne Recital Hall the sound was absolutely stunning, which was necessary for such brilliantly played and carefully arranged music. (The band was Newsom on harp and piano, two violinists, a drummer/percussionist, a trombone player, and a guitarist/banjo player/player of some instrument I didn't catch the name of which was basically like a middle-eastern mandolin.)

I'm jealous! I saw them last Friday and it was actually fairly disappointing.  Teengirl Fantasy opened, and that was awesome, but by the time CC came on the crowd was ready to riot and it was impossible to stand. Like, it started to get crazy, teetering between bad-crazy and good-crazy, and then it tipped over into bad-crazy territory. I couldn't see, couldn't breathe, could barely pay attention to the music.  It wasn't even a mosh pit; you just couldn't stand still because the crowd was too tightly packed together. Someone shoved someone else and the shove propagated through the crowd for like twenty five minutes. If I wasn't completely off-balance, stiff-arming someone in front of me to try and catch myself, I was being dragged down by a human undercurrent and struggling pull my leg out from between a clutch of five other people's legs. It just stopped being fun really fast. Spent the rest of the show up on the balcony behind a dense row of people, fuming and occasionally seeing snatches of the stage.

Man, that sucks. How big was the venue where you saw them? Their Seattle show was at a converted warehouse, so there was plenty of room for the pit to hustle & bustle. I still ended up nearly fainting from dehydration twice and leaning on other people during the slower bits, but I'm into the whole "get exhausted by the end of the first 5 songs and then keep dancing because fuck that" mentality. I imagine if it'd been at any smaller of a venue it would've been a nightmare, though.

The show was at the main room at First Avenue in Minneapolis, which has a capacity of around 1500. The show, of course, sold out. Outside the floor there was a little room to push past and like, circumnavigate the crowd, but I basically had to beat my way away from the stage to get ahold of myself.

Yeesh. That's no fun at all. Times like those you feel like you're in the middle of a human meat grinder. MGMT was like that. They played at the Cap Hill Block Party, so it was literally a city street with a stage on it, but it was so packed with people that I couldn't move, and had to enlist the help of everyone around me to push me up over the crowd, so security could grab me and drag me out.

As a 6'2", 180 pound dude, that was difficult and I'm pretty sure I kicked some poor tweenage girls in the face trying to get out of there.

But MGMT ended up sucking live anyway. At least Alice, even with a broken ankle, still manages to create a pretty epic stage presence.

Any help here?

besides, shad is drug free and healthy and he'll be doing his thing forever. Black Lips could easily self-destruct at any time. didn't one of their guitar players or somebody already die?

What really, really bugs me is that, it's more of a financial dilemma than anything else. I just don't have the cash to go see both.

On one hand, I've been meaning to see The Black Lips for a long time, and I need a punk-like show full of the crazies.

On the other hand, Shad. It's freacking Shad. I remember watching his Polaris Performance and feeling goosebumps. That's how good he is.

I think I'll have to sell one of my Godspeed You! Black Emperor tickets to get financial aid. =/

Black Lips is genuinely one of the best shows I have ever been to.

besides, shad is drug free and healthy and he'll be doing his thing forever

Like that's a bad thing. The more Shad the better.

I think that's what he was implying. He was saying you can see Shad later and it'll still be kick ass, whereas the black lips might drink themselves into a coma in the next few years.

Well, problem solved.
A friend of mine is going to pay for both our tickets for Shad and I'll pay him back later.
I am going to buy my Black Lips ticket with the money from that Godspeed You! Black Emperor ticket that I have.
I still don't have anyone to go with, but whatever, it's The Black Lips.

WHY ARE ENGLISH FESTIVAL SO WANK THIS YEAR

(http://media.livenation.co.uk/fido/publishing/content/a/t/t/Reading_web-lineup_25-3.gif)

Not only do we have this travesty, V Festival is terrible (as it always is, but its a 30 minute drive from my house...) and fuckin' McFly are headlining the Summer Ball at my University. On top of that, Hevy festival looks pretty naff but its only £89 for a weekend so I'm thinking fuck it lets go to a metal sausage fest and get really drunk because nothing else seems good that still has tickets available.

That's awesome.

Lupercal, you need to start looking at non-UK festivals. Primavera, if you buy tickets early enough, is only 130 euros (well this year anyway, price has definitely gone up from last year), and has a kick ass lineup (http://www.primaverasound.com/ps/?page=cartel&lang=en). It's also in the middle of Barcelona, so... bonus.

Electric Picnic in Ireland is usually also pretty good, but really expensive. There's a lot of festivals cropping up in the Balkans that get quite electronic. Poland has some really good things going on.

I'm going to see LCD Soundsystem tomorrow night with my little sister in the first of their funeral week shows.  Don't really know what to expect, except that it should be lots of fun.  Also, I seem to be one of the only people ever that actually likes Terminal 5 in NYC.

I tried to buy tickets to see Death Cab at the Bowery in June but 20 seconds after the tickets went on sale they were sold out.  I didn't really care that much since I'm not a huge fan but it would have been a good time since a group of my friends were going to go (which never happens) AND it would have been on the 21st birthday of one of my friends.  Oh well.

Just because both bands have dudes harmonizing doesn't mean they're anything alike. I haven't heard the newest FF but if it's anything like their earlier stuff than I'm not sure if it makes any sense to compare the two bands.

So, Radio Radio two days ago was really, really great. You just gotta love their acadian rap style.

And Shad, yesterday, was amazing. I got high-fived by him 3 times, and he even freestyled over Kanye West's Devil In a New Dress. Moshpit during "Yaa I Get It". He tried freestyling in french for a second.
He had a band caled Keys 'N Krates opening for him. They did was they called 'live remixing', but it didn't really sound good or look good. Shame.

Next up is either Toro Y Moi or The Black Lips. I'm really just debating if I should go see Toro y Moi or not. I have no one to go with, and I'm not sure if he sounds good live or not. Bought my ticket for The Black Lips though, so that's a shoo-in.

You'll just have to go see them again. I've seen the Mountain Goats every time they've come to Australia in the last five or six years (and some years they've come twice) and they've played that song every time, so you'll get another chance I'm sure.

This Thursday I'm going to see Gareth Liddiard (of the Drones) play a solo show, supported by Dan Kelly (who those of you outside Australia won't know, but he's awesome). It's going to be a hell of a show.

Trap Them are amazing. Crusted out death-grind/hardcore with a bit of influence from later Converge...although, Ryan and Brian's last band, Backstabber's Inc., were around at the same time as Converge and Trap Them sound sort of like a more complex extension of that, so it might not be fair to make that statement.

Burning Love are great as well, but infinitely better live...Chris Colohan will do the funniest and most awesome shit when he performs, and it's just the kind of music that comes out better in that setting. I'm definitely a little biased since I love Cursed and I always see Burning Love here, but I've never heard anyone complain about seeing them. Great dudes too.

Okay so Dan Deacon was kind of mind blowingly awesome, Battles were good technically, but it felt like there was something missing, and they didn't play Atlas, which is fair cause that dude isn't in their band anymore, but that is probably my favorite song of theirs. Were definitely on top of their shit though musically.

Apparently the opener was really good, but I missed him. Also, didn't see Factory Floor because met a cute girl, who is going to see Merzbow tonight in the same place, and told me to come, so yeah. But also, Liturgy.

See Swans, you dick! See them!

Also Khar will probably melt if you see Candlemass
didn't see Factory Floor
Booooooooo

But also, Liturgy.
BOOOOOOOO

This week's kind of rough for me! I totally spaced on the Communikey festival in Boulder. I'd like to see Monolake, who I believe is playing Friday. If that doesn't pan out, I have tickets to see Ramadanman and Zed Bias in Denver on Saturday. It'll be the first time I see a DJ I'm really into in a live setting. I've got most of everything Ramadanman / Pearson Sound has ever done on wax.

Just got back from Grouper w/ Zelienople in a little on-campus garage. First time I ever saw Zelienople, they were really good and really intense. Grouper was absolutely amazing. I've seen her a few times in the past and this may have been the best. She played for a long time, one gorgeous continuous set of largely new material. It was quiet but so damn powerful and really, really gorgeous.

Last night, I went to see The Black Lips with Vivian Girls and Davila 666 opening for them.
Davila 666 is a Puerto Rican garage band who sings exclusively in Spanish. It was fun stuff, but the crowd wasn't really into it that much. Saw a few heads bobbing.
Vivian Girls wa realy great at first, but they are a bit boring after while. "When will they stop?", I thought to myself after 7 songs.
Black Lips was incredibly fun. Now, this is a band where being high and drunk makes everything even better they they already were. Theyplayed songs from their four last albums (Let It Bloom, Good Bad Not Evil, 200 Million Thousand, and their upcoming Arabia Mountain). Lots of crowdsurfing, lots of moshing, a few people went onstage and kissed members of the bands (boys and girls, from kiss on the cheek to full-blown making out).

Good times, good times.

The Black Lips are honestly one of the few bands I would recommend to almost anyone to go see, just to see an excellent rock show from both the crowd and the band.

Post by: Scarychips on 16 Apr 2011, 12:36
Yeah, I think it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. It was sloppy, yet tight. Like, controlled chaos. And the crowd was so much into it, and the band looked like they were really happy to be here and perform for us, and yeah, an all-around awesome show. I really had a shitload of fun.

AGGGGGH Ramadanman.

I liked his stuff well enough on a headset but it's really a whole other thing from a pro soundsystem. It went over moderately well with the crowd - they had grown complacent from the prior Zed Bias set that featured a lot of '05-'07 wobble-y 'ardstep, which brosteppin' American kids tend to gravitate towards. By contrast, David Kennedy didn't drop a single wobble during his set - rather, the kicks of his drum patterns were distorted into booming, gauzy vibrations, which only augmented the signature forward momentum of his music. There was a bit of grime (SX and Wiley edits) and plenty of UK juke / footwork stuff (I am now convinced that Addison Groove is the best thing to happen to dance music in the last 10 years). American hip hop served as set bookends. He closed out with this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gyLR4NfMiI&feature=player_detailpage#t=90s) (good call cutting out the Chris Brown portion, fuck that noise)

I saw them the next day (yesterday). Zelienople were a pleasant surprise and Grouper was fantastic (first time I've seen her, so I have no basis for comparison) but people in the back were being really loud which was a gigantic bummer.

yeah at the start of her set here there were some talkative people in the back to but she played quite a long set and by halfway through or so most of them had left. She was playing in this little venue on campus that is often a Friday night party scene so I think people showed up expecting that and when they realized it wasn't happening they (thankfully) left.

Post by: Mr. Doctor on 21 Apr 2011, 02:06
Warning, large post.

Holy shit... I'll be in The Netherlands tomorrow to attend Roadburn festival! So damn excited.
The lineup is just too good. (http://www.roadburn.com/roadburn-2011/)
See Swans, you dick! See them!

Hell yeah I saw them.... I couldn't see their entire set because of the train I had to take but I saw around an hour. Their intro was very bad imo. I was impatient and just one guy getting to the scene every 3 minutes kind of pissed me off, specially since what they were doing wasn't really that good, I was SOOOO close to get out of there when suddenly they started playing for real and I was like "well... Next time guys, skip the intro and play crushing music right from the start!" I forgot about the annoying and long intro and everything went awesome from there. Fucking heavy stuff.

Bands I saw (in order):
Day one: Alcest, Ghost, Blood Farmers, Today Is The Day, Godflesh (their entire streetcleaner) and Count Raven
Day Two:Keiji Haino (This was just horrible...), Aluk Todolo (Biggest discovery for me, didn't knew anything about them... Brilliant), Trap Them, Winter, Earth, Sunn O)))... The last bands too see were either Scorn or The Secret, I saw both for a couple of minutes but the sound wasn't interesting so I left after earlier.
Day Three: Candlemass (played a regular set and also their entire Epicus Doomicus Metallicus with their original vocalist from that album,Johan Längqvist and also met him and talked to him, Leif Edling and Robert Lowe very very nice guys, cool to talk swedish with someone for a change, got an autograph by all three as well ... You can't get more epic than that), Evoken (Holy shit they used the entire Begotten movie as a projection for their music, fucking brilliant and crushing stuff), Voivod, Shrinebuilder (the bass was waaaaay too loud but it was cool to see them anyway) and Swans...

Sooo... This was my first festival ever, a nice first time, eh?! I sooo want to continue with this, Roadburn was too good to miss for other festivals, the atmosphere is nice, all the people are nice, I like the fact that there aren't so many people (Probably around 2000 or 3000), got nice cds and t-shirts for  a very low price... I guess I was one of the youngest though with my 19 years XD

So jealous of Mr. Doctor right now. I saw Alcest on their last tour though - it was dark and they lit candles around the place, plus they went pretty crazy with the smoke machine, so it was pretty unreal in terms of atmosphere. Pretty spot-on performance-wise too.

Awww they didn't have all that. Only a huge projection of their latest album artwork. But the music is what it counts in the end. Even though they played GREAT and they were one of the bands I was most excited about... They didn't end up as highlights of the festival for me. They weren't bad... There was just waaaaay too much better stuff going on after. :P

Oh... and they played a song that is new or maybe a cover. I believe it was called Summer's Glory so if anyones knows if it was a cover I would be very glad to know from which band. Otherwise I'll say: Cool new song

Thinking of going to Hevy Festival (http://www.hevy.co.uk/2011/lineup/bands), I'm not sure if a lot of these bands are any good. From the photos of the last 2 years it looks like its just stupidly fun to be at, weather you like the music or not. i'll let you guys judge.

like, no bands ever come to the south east of England because you might as well just go to London. Kind of annoying as there are cities in this lovely portion of the UK that aren't London. But hey ho, I'll see what local offerings there are. Apparently the Subways are coming to Canterbury on a warm up tour but saw them in 2008 and their new material was blrugh.

Never been, but the photos on their Facebook page with singers coming into crowds, loads of crowdsurfing, and general festival-shit-that-goes-down looks great. And for £89 could be a good idea.

Seeing Foo Fighters soon...should be pretty great. New album isn't crazy amazing, but its good. My fifth time seeing Biffy Clryo (they're supporting). I wonder how many times is too many, especially as they've only had 2 albums out in those 5 shows...

This generation keeps waiting for a sign.

It isn't going to get one.

Man, that was the happiest gig. Best line - he forgot his lyric, stopped the song. The drummer ran on and off the stage to get something, and so he said:

"Everything happens for a reason. Not that I believe that! People who say that are just telling themselves that to reassure themselves, to keep the chaos at bay.

If everything happened for a reason, and you knew what that reason was, you'd be angry."

Win.

So I just got back from Sasquatch and my everything hurts.  It was the greatest weekend of music I could conceive of.  Front center at DFA1979 and Archers of Loaf.  Sleigh Bells and Thermals dance parties just to name a few.  Like, I kept thinking I'm too exhausted to work my way to the front of the stage, but it kept being worth it.

I've got Okkervil River with Titus Andronicus next month and Explosions in the Sky not too far off as well.  So, this is probably the best concert year I've ever had.

There were so few people at Okkervil in Boise it was baffling.  I guess that is what happens when Cake and Black Lips play the same night.  TEENS opened up for the Black Lips and apparently got banned from the Boise Knitting Factory.

Joan of Arc were really fucking good last night. Bobby Burg is the nicest dude ever, Tim Kinsella's meandering stage banter made him pretty endearing and the music was just wow. They even played an Owls song. I was made up.

Support bands were all good as well. Hot Club de Paris sounded tight as usual. Min Diesel were good but it's a shame Seas,Starry had their set cut short by an ill-timed amp failure as I was really getting into them.

Well, I totally dismissed Reading Festival this year because the line up was very meh.

But right now on BBC3, Muse are absolutely killing it. And I thought I was burned out on them, but damn they are a brilliant live band.

Although the only good acts for me at Reading this year was Bombay Bicycle Club, Two Door Cinema Club, Jane's Addiction...probably would've seen SeaSick Steve and Warpaint too (and looking closely, maybe Off! too?)

But 6 bands is not worth £200, or my time.

And, in a typically British way, there won't be enough portaloos to cater for both the Olympic Games and Glastonbury Festival next year. So looks like I'm going to Sonisphere or something.

A couple of fun bands from my neck of the woods are going on a nationwide tour in the spring.
http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=236045429777554

Musical Charis, and ZuhG. Both are high-energy, determined-to-get-you-moving acts that lay it all out there every show. They're also all fantastic musicians who work their asses off to make music their lives as close to 24/7 as possible, so if they come close to where you live, definitely worth checking out.

Some samples: Musical Charis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSm1VYG5z08). ZuhG (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7_oOnSeR7s).

Lots of time to plan!

Edit: Just filmed and uploaded an entire set by ZuhG (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0HFdHkLQlQ) as they performed at the local music awards show, where they won awards for outstanding release, and outstanding reggae/roots act. Musical Charis joins them to perform one of their songs at around 21:30.

For a moment I thought you were talking about Soundwave Revolution festival in Australlia, that got cancelled supposedly due to Van Halen still not having an album ready for public display - they were the main headliner and I think they pulled out.

But Soundwave looks good - apart from I don't understand how Steel Panther is still a thing

If your whole festival collapses because Van Halen decides not to show, you're probably doing it wrong.

I posted this in my youtube page thread, but thought I'd crosspost here to get some thoughts.

There's one venue in town that's a really nice place to film, and they have a lot of pretty big national acts coming through, but while I recognize the names, I don't follow the current scene enough to know which are worth going to. So, if anybody wants to peruse the venue calendar (http://aceofspadessac.com/events/) and point me at some shows you'd like to see with some high quality video, let me know!

If somebody is willing to PAY me to go, I might even check out the Attack Attack! show Feb 5th.  :-P

Saw it last Monday. Awesome show, and had a totally bro-tastic evening with the dudes afterwards. My band has toured with The Secret before, so it was good to see them again. Also, a friend of mine ended up with a broken collarbone and no recollection of how she got it. All in all a good evening.

Where do you live?
Yeah, it was a wonderful show, I wonder why Trap them was on the list but instead The Secret was playing. Guess they just couldn't make it and were replaced?
Wolves Like Us were pretty good live, their drummer was incredible. The Secret was just as intense as the time I saw them back in Roadburn 2011 but the sound was way better now. Toxic Holocaust were probably the best band in terms of music but I fucking HATED the crowd... Few people there just standing and I was one of the very few ones at front... It was awful and I totally lmao when the bassist got a bit pissed off and pointed at some teens sitting in a sofa in a corner for not knowing what fun was (not like I want to be an elite douche but they DID look like guys who haven't really been on a concert and were there just for Kvelertak). Oh... and during the last song all the members from Wolves Like Us and The Secret came to the stage and headbanged like crazy, lifted the bassist who was still playing and doing the backing vocals hahahah. Fun moment.

Kvelertak was extremely good, not as good as Toxic Holocaust but at that moment the whole crowd was excited so things went nuts. If TH had the same audience they would have won easily for me. One of those "soffa kids" had a tambourine with him and it was kind of cool that he knew exactly the moments when that instrument was used in the album and he played it so well that the vocalist actually grabbed him to the stage to play with the band for a couple of minutes hahahaha. At the last song all the members from Wolves Like Us, The Secret and Toxic Holocaust came to the stage... with instruments. Everyone played, the vocalist from the Secret helped with the vocals and two floor toms were added as well, some members gave some guys from the crowd the drumsticks to play for a while as well.

I also did my good thing of the week and helped some dude to find his lip piercing that he lost in the middle of the Kvelertak set. Dude was so glad he gave me a big hug  :lol:

Got this sick t-shirt (http://hardcoreshirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/bartlett-owl.jpg) and poster (http://www.michaelhacker.at/blog/bilder/michael_hacker-kvelertak_tourposter-20112.jpg) along with the tour version of the album.

They were pretty awesome in London. Played some oldies, it was rockin'. Better than when I saw them with Frusciante.

Oh, and the whole Soundwave thing (months late, but meh) was due to Aerosmith - another Dinosaur band. To be fair, Van Halen only ever went to Australia once, touring an album that nobody (except me and 500k other people) liked. So to go there with David Lee Roth was probably a big thing for them.

I need to see some bands that are somewhere between arenas and unsigned tiny bands that are from my university. Help?

Those of you who have seen John Darnielle live:

Should I leave work early and pay $16/ticket and drive 115 miles to see Nurses open up for The Mountain Goats on Feb. 2?

I'm thinking tentatively yes.
Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
Post by: TheFuriousWombat on 10 Jan 2012, 11:18
So let's do a little math. You're driving 230 miles total. I'm going to estimate you'll get an average of 20 miles per gallon on that drive which means you'll use 11.5 gallons of gas. At a national average of some $3.38/gallon, you're looking at $38.87 or so for gas, plus $16 for the ticket, plus (probably) another $8-10 for parking, plus something to eat (call it $7). So you're looking at $70 plus or minus, plus the money lost from leaving work early. Which is a lot. On the other hand, The Mountain Goats are a great live band and if you have money to spend (aka you're not living paycheck to paycheck with really nothing at all left over at the end of every two weeks or month or whatever), for me spending it on a killer concert is one of the best ways to do it. In the long run, that $70 isn't going to change your life one way or another whereas a really amazing concert is something you can look back on fondly for years to come. All of which is to say, I think you should go.

Hearing that makes me soo happy  :-) I've seen them twice and I was a devout Frusciante fan. Klinghoffer was definitely good on the new album but I was nervous about him live. Then again, I knew very little about him in the first place. I'm sooo freaking ready for them to tour! Who opened when you saw them?

King Krule, Real Estate, and Girls were awesome, as expected, in ascending order of awesomeness.  I like Real Estate more actually, but Girls are much more fun to see live—Real Estate is kinda chill, while with Girls you really get a sense of FUCK I AM LISTENING TO ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC BEING PLAYED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME—and they fucking rocked Terminal 5.

And on Thursday I'm seeing Cults at Webster Hall.  And possibly Jeff Mangum this weekend.

I saw Young the Giant last night at Terminal 5 in NYC with my girlfriend and one of my buddies.  They were SOO GOOD.  I would definitely see them again.  Very entertaining to watch, and sounded just as good, if not better than, the record.  The singer has a beautiful voice and never stopped moving during the entire set.  They played a couple new songs, and played a couple songs with a string quartet that just added to their wall-of-sound approach.  They totally brought down the house with show closer "My Body".  Grouplove opened but we missed them due to traffic getting into the city and stuff, which I'm kind of bummed about but oh well.

It was pretty legendary. It wasn't a good idea to be on the front though, the sound was too bassy and blurred from there. I was at the top of the stairs near a bar with a perfect view and sound. Very good stuff indeed.
Also.... I'm a tiny dude (5'5.4'', okay not exactly a dwarf but compared to your average dude from the netherlands... it sucks!), so the fact that the scene was mostly very big stairs helped me a lot!

I'm going to see Against Me! and The Cult on June 1st. I am super pumped. It's going to be a really weird show, but I kind of like that. Also, I don't care how disappointed you are in them, I love Against Me!.

I wanted to go to the Boston date, but it's a Tuesday night and meh train tickets and bullshit.

I've still got a ticket to Wu Lyf this weekend, but there's no way I'd make it.

I came back from Roadburn. I saw:
Disembowelment (playing Transcendence Into The Peripheral in its entirety), Agalloch, Saturnalia Temple, OM, Lord Vicar, Ulver, Chelsea Wolfe, Nachtmystium (playing Instinct: Decay in its entirety), Sólstafir, YOB (playing The Unreal Never Lived in its entirety), Voivod (playing Dimension Hartröss in its entirety and an extra set afterwards), Anekdoten, 40 Watt Sun, Church Of Misery, Alkerdeel, Oranssi Pazuzu, Necros Christos, Jucifer, The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation, Internal Void, Urfaust, Bongripper, Dragged Into Sunlight and Coroner.

Yes, it was fucking awesome. This is still the best metal festival for me. Perfect atmosphere, perfect people, perfect experience.
*picks up jaw from floor* WHY can't we get shows like this in the States?

I'd like to see Mastodon/Opeth/Ghost this summer but I'm not sure if I'll be able to go. It's been years since I've made it to a concert. The last time I saw Opeth, I knew who they were but had not heard their music before. They were opening for someone else. I got home and looked them up and was instantly hooked. Mastodon is fine, though there are other similar bands that I prefer, but I'd be going for Opeth.

Lummer, here you have a nice idea of how they were live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyixKmKNLxU). They play in complete darkness with only two or three vary pale red lights for them to see. and one big and extremely bright white light that was used in the most intense parts of their set. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of smoke. This combined with their music.... The light blinked so much that it makes the pokemon incident in Japan look like a joke. The video is misleading because in reality it was hard to see anything because of the white light. It was so crazy that it worked.

From what I was told, the sound wasn't too good on the front (too harshand noisy) which is something I didn't notice since I was in the balcony of that room so the sound was perfect.

Very intense shit indeed. I think the only band that was just as sick and intense to me was Alkerdeel.

I also got this sick tshirt (http://cache1.bigcartel.com/product_images/25031001/t-shirts_JB_anti-religion_bigcartel.jpg) among all the other tshirts I got. Damn, Roadburn merch is insane.

I hate Reel Big Fish live. Every time I happen to see them (Usually because a band I actually like is opening) they spend at least a third of their set playing the same song over and over and pretending every song is the last song, walking off stage, then immediately walking back on and playing the next one.

Post by: Mr. Doctor on 07 May 2012, 02:25
I missed more than half Sleep's set at Roadburn because I watched Oranssi Pazuzu and they ended like 5 minutes after Sleep began so when I got there it was so full it was ridiculous so I went to see Necros Christos instead.
When NC was done I ran to where Sleep were playing at it was *a bit* less full. It was good, but I left kind of meh because everything was so loud (specially the bass) that you could barely hear what they were even playing :P

So yeah, I don't regret not seeing their entire set. The last 20 min were cool though, but I expected more.

You have to listen for a while to get into it (though contrary to popular belief, you don't have to be high). After a while the loudness and repetitiveness becomes so fucking hypnotic.

Edit: Also a friend of mine saw them at Roadburn and really liked it. He claimed that the venue gave them "a club sound" which I thought was pretty funny.
Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
Post by: Mr. Doctor on 10 May 2012, 01:54
The whole aspect of Roadburn is to have a "club atmosphere". That's why it's such a great festival... It doesn't feel like it.
Plus, the fact that it's a small festival in terms of people being there works for me. I'm not a fan of crowds.

It was fun indeed... But I dunno, I don't regret not seeing the whole set. :P I didn't want to miss any Oranssi Pazuzu and I knew if I really wanted to see Sleep I had to be there like 30 min earlier. Meh.

I will be there next year, that's for sure because Jus Oborn from Electric fucking Wizard(!!!) will be the curator. I can't miss that.

I should start a thread about great shows I've missed, since I miss way more than I get to go to... :( Last night I missed Mogwai in a small local venue.

But in other news, I did get to meet the great Buddy Guy at his Chicago blues club, Legends, last weekend.

I'm buying tickets with a bunch of friends this weekend for the Summerland tour at Bethel Woods. We've dubbed it our "Middle School Rock Show" and I think you can probably guess why we chose to do so.

We'll be seeing Everclear, Sugar Ray, Gin Blossoms, Lit and Marcy Playground. For under $20 a ticket, we just couldn't resist (I was especially excited because I'd pay twice as much for Everclear alone). It is going to be ridiculously awesome.

You guys like hardcore? Well, I like hardcore! \hxc/ >:3!

</dumb posturing>

I saw Trash Talk and OFF! the other night. Travelled three hours by train - which is a lot in a fairly small country, mind - but worth it. Modern Cali hardcore bands, obviously, all recently formed (the difference between Trash Talk and 80s stuff is that Trash Talk has modern production values. It's still as clean and crisp and tight, with as much disregard for normal song structure and brutal creativity with it. OFF! are old hat, technically - their vocalist, a lovably sarcastic bastard, is ex-Black Flag, and their bassist used to play in Redd Kross... no, I have no idea how you move from Redd Kross to OFF! either).

Er yeah, the concert. It was fantastic. Really sparse pit, rather brutal, but goodness me what fun. Both bands were pretty top notch in terms of sound, in their setlists, in their delivery, and also general stage performance. Trash Talk's vocalist spent more time mingling in the crowd than he did on the stage (it was a small venue), and it was sort of electrifying when they all climbed on top of their amps or on barrels and tried to climb up the walls (totally nuts band). And OFF! was amusingly sarcastic and had a political bent to their music that surprised me when they explained it.

So yeah, 'twas good.


I want to see something more indie-ish next time but I don't have any money because I spent it all on the gig and a T-shirt (I needed that T-shirt, kay?). Being poor sucks.

Just got back from my trip to Pittsburgh to see the Peppers and holy hell was it worth the 14 hours of driving. Every second was pure bliss. They played Blood Sugar Sex Magik and I completely melted into a puddle. After it was all over, I felt like I was floating all the way back to the hotel.....

I always have wanted to see the Peppers live. Just in 1985. Which is more problematic.

I actually like their later stuff quite a lot - more so than most fans of their early, weird stuff - just I couldn't see them now without wanting to have the best of both worlds and teleport to an obscure nightclub in 80s LA afterwards.

They're working on some new music, said the show I was at was their first time performing a certain song. I bet they say that to all the venues. :) I saw the setlist, it was just listed as "new song", no name yet.

Went.  Great concert. 

The Finnissy 2nd Piano Concerto (just the fourth performance in over twenty-five years - and my son apparently owns the only copy of the orchestral parts) probably has more notes for the pianist to play in the first ten minutes (a huge cadenza making up about 2/3 of the entire work) than it is usual to play in a whole concert.  Sir Harrison Birtwistle's piece (written for Nic) is not as easy to get the head around as his earlier piece Harrison's Clocks (which Nic has recorded) - but Harry is planning to revise it now he's heard it played.  Finnissy and Birtwistle were both present and went on stage for an ovation each.

Available (in the UK) in BBC R3 iPlayer.  Fortunately not TV, so you don't get to see his paunch...

I'm waiting for Beach House to start in the next few minutes.  But David Bazan is playing Control in its entirety on the first, and I'm super stoked.  Titus is coming again as we'll as El Ten Eleven and Red Fang. Should be a good end to the year.

My neck... fucking OW. Hella fun though. Didn't really care for Revocation or Job For A Cowboy. Cerebral Bore was very cool though! That girl has such a monstrous voice it should be illegal. She's quite charismatic and cute in that tomboyish way. Dying Fetus were obviously the big thing... Hella nice.

Next week: Nasum with support of Black Breath, Skitsystem and Pyramido!

My buddy's brother's band Logistic Slaughter is playing with Dying Fetus and Cerebral Bore (https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/564937_497377790287095_586979068_n.jpg) in SF on Dec. 9th. It fucks with me just how small the world can really be.

This concert was fucking brilliant. Easily one of the better ones I've been and a concert I won't forget anytime soon. All bands were awesome.

1 NOV:
Gojira with support of Trepalium and Klone

2 NOV:

Already got the tickets for both dates. Sweet.

Got tickets for the Stockholm gig already, and I'm sitting on the fence about the Sweden Rock Festival gig. But if I go there then I'll probably stay the whole weekend so I can see UFO & Rush for the first time. And Avantasia, Accept, Doro, Status Quo and a whole lot of other nice stuff, though not necessarily for the first time.

He is an extraordinary live performer.

I saw him tour with Grinderman when they weren't Grinderman - it was Nick Cave and the Mini Seeds. They were jaw dropping.

I expected a sedate acoustic affair, but I got one of the loudest gigs I've yet been to. After three minutes of squalling feedback and piano pounding, he started singing, and I realised it was fucking 'West Country Girl' re-imagined as a noise-rock epic.

I've still not seen him with the Bad Seeds.

I'm sure there will be several local shows between now and then at various local basements and bars and such, but the next one that i've planned ahead to make sure to keep the night free for is Inspecter 7 and Mephiskapheles at Asbury Lanes on April 20th. I never got to see Meph the first time around back in the 90's and then last year they played a one off show on a boat in NY that I wanted to go to, but I had to be across the country in New Mexico the week it happened. So this time I'm hellbent on seeing them. (pun perhaps slightly intended based on their whole satanic schtick).

Went to see Enabler, Martyrdöd and Rotten Sound yesterday.

Enabler was FUCKING AWESOME. Holy shitballs. My new favourite band, and one helluva way to kick off the night.

Martyrdöd was... Dissapointing. Everyone except the drummer were clearly wasted out of their minds, so what followed was a fairly short set that seemed very "Phoned-in" and lacked the sheer white-knuckle fury and passion their records have. Also featured a completely pointless Dissection cover. This was a real bummer for me, since this band and their material really means a lot to me. "In Extremis" is painfully close to being my favourite record of all time, and to see the band behind it even literally falling over themselves on stage was painful.

Rotten Sound. What can I say?! This band has been grinding for nearly 20 years now and holy fuck it shows. The band went on without so much as a line- or soundcheck and proceeded to completely DEMOLISH the venue as if it was a total cakewalk for them, which to be fair it probably was, given the amount of live experience this band has. Calling them a "well-oiled machine" would be doing them a disservice. Machines can't be this tight, no matter the amount of lubrication. Every break, every staccato piece and riff was so mind-bogglingly on point it was profoundly humbling to someone who thought his own Grind band was tight live. Holy shitsnacks it was amazing.

she does seem like she'd be fun to hang out with regardless of whether or not you dig her music. she was hilarious when she was interviewed on Conan recently and I've caught a few episodes of the show documenting her tour. My wife is a fan and I got her tickets for the PNC Bank Arts Center show for her birthday, but am not going.

Next show I'm really excited about is Nato Coles & The Blue Diamond Band. I just learned yesterday that they were touring out this way again and I love everything Nato does. Mainly I would just always see his previous couple bands and only got to see this current one once before. It'll be great to see them at a proper venue since the house show I saw them at that time got shut down by the cops pretty early into their set.

It's going to be pretty outrageous and I am very exited, even if it means ditching my less musically adventurous friends and going alone. Next weekend is Crystal Stilts/Deerhunter. Less excited for that one, but it should be pretty good in any case. And then I'm going to my friend's album release show on October 9th at the Bowery Electric in NYC.

I've never seen them before, so I'm really excited to see how it goes. Looks like they're on a pretty big tour: http://www.geocities.jp/azaplink/mb/mxbx.html

Sadly not coming anywhere close to me.

Just saw Godspeed You! in Tucson BUCKET LIST CHECK

Seeing them for the third time in mid-October. The show was just announced yesterday, kinda out of the blue. Really looking forward to it.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor is playing at the great Union Transfer here in Philly with Daniel Higgs(!!!) opening. I love how these guys announce their shows just weeks before they happen. Tickets were on the pricey side ($30), but I'm moving to the wilderness for 6 months and won't see any music during that time so it's worth it in my book.

I just remembered I'm seeing The Mountain Goats next week! Sort of forgot about it since I got my ticket a long time ago, but woo!

The next festival me and my girl are going should be pretty sweet.
Big day out Sydney:
Pearl Jam, Blur, Arcade fire (saw them a few years ago), Major Lazer, Tame Impala and Flume, plus a whole bunch more.
Pretty mainstream stuff i know, but ill be damned if it isnt a great 12hours of music.

Also if Janelle Monae comes back to Sydney, ill be there in a hearbeat, we had to miss out last time due to lack of money (we spend it all on CD's)

Wow, Mountain Goats last night was incredible, John Darnielle is one of very few musicians who can make me cry and laugh in the same show. Brilliant, as always. I hope I get to see them again soon.

Saw Stephen Lynch last night, didn't expect there to be three other people on stage with him but the only full name I remember is Courtney Jay. It was brilliant, so funny and all four were amazing singers. I really loved that so much of the music was new to me and that his newer stuff isn't as vulgar as his early stuff.

Saw They Might Be Giants with my brother last night. It apparently was the first time they ever played in Belfast so it was more like a night of greatest hits with only a couple new songs and it was so much fun. Tiny crowd but they were all so into it. My brother isn't really a fan of TMBG but he came with me so I wouldn't be alone and he was delighted he went in the end which was a good feeling. Great show to call my first proper music gig.

Saw Barenaked Ladies in Dublin last night and it was so much fun and their support act, Boothby Graffoe, was very entertaining and funny. YAY! So glad I got to go the show.

Going to see Braid tonight at Asbury Lanes. Trying to move some things around so I can hopefully pick up the new album they're touring to promote, but it's not looking like I can swing it this pay period. It being the Summer and the $2 an hour parking being in effect doesn't help matters. Either way still pretty amped cuz I never got to see them live before.

Not that it's saying much, but at least parking's still cheaper in Asbury than it is in Point.

Bill Bailey

And Nick Cave and the Motherfucking Bad Seeds. Oh yes.

I was supposed to go see Kings of Leon, Young The Giant and Kongos next month. Instead, I am going on vacation. However- to make me feel less sad about missing them, I think I'm going to see James McMurtry in November with my dad. :-) Hell yes.

I'm rather envious, they're good live.  Nick Cave and Co. really give it their all when performing.  It's just sad that Blixa is gone.

If I'm at all able to scrape-up the money, I'll be able to see Swans in SF in Sept, and maybe even Slowdive in Nov.

Late next month Amaranthe and Within Temptation are in town! Totally going!

Then there's this: http://denver.riotfest.org/?sort=day

I wish Slayer, New Found Glory and De Antwoord were on other days. I don't really like the latter but I'm interested enough to go you know? but the main band I want to see is on Sunday, (DKM) which would also let me see Sublime, Wu Tang Clan, Rise Against, and Bouncing Souls. I could just get a two day pass, but fuckin a they're expensive as hell. Even the one day passes might not be doable... curses. 

Sabaton is also starting their tour for their new and incredible album Heroes so they should be here next year...

My daughter and son-in-law went to a Heather Dale house concert, AND THEY DIDN'T call us.  We could have flown back to Ohio and gone with them. 

I think that she will be in Phoenix sometime in the future, however.

Where do you guys typically find news about coming shows?
Title: Re: You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?

For bands that I am interested in, I get their newsletters.  Some shows I get information from the newspaper entertainment section.

Edit for typo.

I saw Amanda Palmer live the other night and hnngg... It was even better than I expected. She opened by sneaking in and started quietly playing Creep by Radiohead on ukulele and walked through the audience and it was fucking glorious. The way the hush came over everyone was so cool and her voice is magic in person. She was signing stuff afterwards and she signed my Theatre Is Evil CD to my name. Fantastic show and all the more impressive when she's currently, in her own words, "very pregnant".

The Beach Boys are coming to town this summer. Trying to decide if that would be worth seeing. I might get a chance to see Brian Wilson break his hip on stage.

As far as shows I'm actually excited about, Kacey Musgraves is doing a 4th of July fireworks concert.

Weird Al Yankovic was amazing live. Such a fun show and seeing him live has added to my enjoyment of his music.
