Isis and Pelican are playing together on June 2 in NY. Yessss!

valley_parade · « **Reply #901 on:** 01 May 2009, 07:59 »

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 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 going to see Virgins in birmingham in just over a week. and by Virgins i mean the florida punk band featuring the dude from new mexican disaster squad, not the godawful disco-indie-shite band THE virgins.

man shit there are gonna be so many good shows this may.

in a week im seeing fucking mono,

Saw them live about a month ago. It was easily one of the best shows I've ever seen. It was just all about the awesomness flooding over you.

Man it was great.

Guys, tonight I'm seeing Basement Jaxx. I'm quite excited about this.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #907 on:** 04 May 2009, 17:08 »

Double posting because: should I go and see Akron/family at the end of may in Glasgow as post exams celebrations.

(hint: yes is the correct answer. I just have to go and buy tickets)

Thrillho · « **Reply #908 on:** 04 May 2009, 17:46 »

I'm hopefully reviewing a Gallows gig in Manchester tomorrow night. Their PR people haven't got back to me yet.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #909 on:** 04 May 2009, 17:54 »

This summer, I will definitely be seeing:
Clues
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
Isis w/ Pelican
Grizzly Bear
Bonnie Prince Billy
MONO
Tortoise
Explosions in the Sky
Johann Johannsson

Hopefully others too. But I'm excited for all these shows! Should be a fun summer.

I just found out Tortoise in coming to DC in July, and I may have to drive four hours up there to see them. I mean, it's fucking Tortoise.

Retrospectre · « **Reply #911 on:** 05 May 2009, 02:25 »

Oh shit.
Going to see Okkervil River tonight.

Yeah, the guy who bought me the ticket has an exam the next day, so I pretty much have no excuse.

Be My Head · « **Reply #917 on:** 05 May 2009, 16:53 »

Guys, should I go see general admission Obituary with The Berzerker, Krisiun, Warbringer and Goatwhore OR see Porcupine Tree stuck with shitty seats and King's X ?? 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'.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #918 on:** 05 May 2009, 17:08 »

I wanna see Tortoise in NYC but the track from their new album that's out is just so terrible...it worries me.

Waferman · « **Reply #919 on:** 05 May 2009, 17:30 »

"Sunset Rubdown, in either Brooklyn or Pennsylvania. I am a minor, so I may not be able to go if the venues aren't kid-friendly," Mutters Waferman. "Whatta gonna do?"

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #920 on:** 05 May 2009, 17:33 »

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.

Johnny C · « **Reply #921 on:** 06 May 2009, 00:56 »

Mogwai is touring with Women, so if you can see that show you should.

The Joker · « **Reply #922 on:** 06 May 2009, 13:57 »

Aerosmith and ZZ Top. On the same bill.

I just hope I have the money.

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.

Haven't been this excited for a show in a very long time.

Why is it still today and not tomorrow?!?!?

Guys, I'm sure I've already said it, but they're really fucking good live.

Like, seriously. I can't even put into words how blown my mind was.

What I'm trying to say is, I'm extremely jealous.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #931 on:** 07 May 2009, 20:15 »

I've seen them four times in the past and was never anything less than overwhelmed with awesomeness every time. I can't imagine how epic these two shows are going to be.

Catacombs · « **Reply #932 on:** 08 May 2009, 11:22 »

Does anyone else's tickets for tonights show say "DOOR 8:00 PM | SHOW 7:00 PM"?

Koremora · « **Reply #933 on:** 08 May 2009, 13:14 »

I am super sad that I could not go to the MONO shows in NYC. Does anyone know if these are truly the ONLY North American shows MONO is playing for Hymn to the Immortal Wind? If so, that is hell of lame. Please say no.

sean · « **Reply #934 on:** 08 May 2009, 14:00 »

It's likely. Very likely. Shit though only a few more hours!

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.

sean · « **Reply #938 on:** 09 May 2009, 18:51 »

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.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #940 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.

You never got to meet my band though.

For the rest of your years, you will feel a twinge of guilt upon remembering this. Your life will, in all likelihood, turn out comfortable and satisfying, but there will always be a small piece missing. You will live going through the motions, unable to remember what's bothering you. You will realize only on your deathbed.

sean · « **Reply #942 on:** 10 May 2009, 11:56 »

gene sorry i failed at meeting up with you. there just wasn't enough time. im sure ill be back in new york at some point.

wombat we probably should have tried to meet up too.

oh well no matter it was fucking amazing anyway.

Heh, I didn't meet the whole band but I have in the past after shows and I did say hi to and shook hands with Taka outside the venue on Saturday before the show. That's good enough for me!
