Aw fuck yeah. I'm sure you've heard enough about RH's live shows but still. Prepare to be blown away.

Seeing them at All Points West in August. So fucking excited.

SuperSUGA · « **Reply #101 on:** 28 Jun 2008, 06:51 »

I'm going to see My Bloody Valentine tonight.

Excited isn't the word.

Not quite as cool as MBV but I'm seeing Stromkern tonight. oontz oontz

Quote from: MadassAlex on 27 Jun 2008, 07:03

You'd think that of all bands, Priest could choose a wicked opener. But I suppose, in the end, they don't choose as much as the record execs do.

it could be worse. Maiden had Funeral For A Friend supporting once (I didn't go)

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.

So yeah, if all goes well today I will see Mission of Burma tonight. I'm not that familiar with their stuff but I'm excited anyway since I hear they always put on a great show.

Also, Yndi Halda really needs to announce a DC show. I really want to see them in August.

SuperSUGA · « **Reply #105 on:** 28 Jun 2008, 18:09 »

So MBV were awesome as expected. I've been to loud gigs before but the louds bits of this one made the room shake, let alone your clothes.

I proudly stood and soaked in "the holocaust" without the earplugs that were handed out. Was left with a strange feeling where I wanted to listen to radio static on the drive home.

Aside: (I can't do the clever typing thing to write your name properly - sorry!)

I'M GOING TO THAT TOO!

And shall check out zombie zombie.

I am so very excited..the line up is pretty much perfect

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.

MobyDickhole · « **Reply #108 on:** 29 Jun 2008, 17:49 »

I'm finalllllly gonna get to see Okkervil River in September. Woo!

Me too! Yay! Also, Johnny is considering driving down here to see that same show, so you should help me nag him to ensure that he does.

Neat! I PM'd him saying something about having a house and having TWO couches. I think it'd be fun though if he came down.

Calaveth · « **Reply #111 on:** 06 Jul 2008, 05:32 »

I've got nothing planned before Calexico comes here in...October? Hopefully something will show up before that. There are a couple of festivals, but no bands that I'm getting particularly excited about.

valley_parade · « **Reply #112 on:** 06 Jul 2008, 06:20 »

Oh man, I got all excited about Sigur Ros..but I'm seeing Wilco next month, too!

Nooooo Johnny has to stay with me. It is the only way!

Actually if that's what it takes to get him to join us I think I can live with it. He's a cool dude, you would really like him.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #114 on:** 06 Jul 2008, 07:13 »

Opeth, Meshuggah, Judas Priest all in September. Unfortunately Down are playing on the same night as Meshuggah.

I'm psyched that Cavalera Conspiracy is opening for Priest.

I find it strange that even though I rarely listen to metal anymore, it still makes up the vast majority of major international bands I see.

There's a festival coming to my town:

I'm kindof only going for Black Mountian and Blitzen Trappers, but I hope there will be some other great acts.
How are Black Mountian Live? Anyone heard?

Hey Los Angeles guy you forgot Gnarls Barkley w/ Deerhoof on July 27 at Hollywood Bowl
and also Beck, Spoon, and MGMT on September 20 at Hollywood Bowl

then again Hollywood Bowl kind of sucks

Scarychips · « **Reply #118 on:** 06 Jul 2008, 20:02 »

Karkwa, Malajube, Gatineau and Alexandre Desilets at the Francofolies.

Next time Final Fantasy comes which is supposed to be (if the rumours are true) at Pop Montreal in October.

Voila!

Ballard · « **Reply #119 on:** 06 Jul 2008, 21:26 »

Ooh I saw Malajube live at Celebrate Brooklyn last year after being into their studio albums for a while. They were terrific.

Their frontman is really shy and it's endearing.

Scarychips · « **Reply #120 on:** 06 Jul 2008, 22:01 »

Not to sound like an asshole but, it'll be the fourth time I'll see them. And it has always been better everytime.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #121 on:** 06 Jul 2008, 22:44 »

Dovey, where do you live? I thought you were in America, but I don't see any America tour dates for Down.

I want to go see Blind Melon play nearby with their new singer.
It's going to be interesting.

Dovey's from someplace Australian.

Coming up I got:

Girl Talk in Boulder 7/11 (Big maybe).
Feist at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver 7/15.
Nine Inch Nails at Red Rocks 10/2.
Monolith Festival on 10/13 and 10/14 (maybe, don't have tix yet).

I'm seeing The Melvins at the end of the month, The Dandy Warhols in August, then the Monolith Festival in September.

There's also talk of seeing Boris (unlikely) and Spiritualized (maybe).

Yesssss.

I was this close to scoring backstage passes for their New York show, as my lady friend works for EMI. But then they had to do a stupid thing like leave/get kicked off of their label.

I was just writing a post about how pissed-off I was that Snowman are playing down the road from me next week before they piss off to London, but I couldn't go as it was on the same night as a house party in my house... then I noticed they're playing for two nights. So yeah, wooooo Snowman next week!

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.

I am pretty happy right now.
