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.

I am quite excited about seeing what I think is Augie March's last show. Every single person in my family has seen them but me, it is ludicrous.

show report from this weekend: okkervil river are so good

Kyros · « **Reply #1109 on:** 15 Jul 2009, 08:46 »

Wavves/Woods/Real Estate tonight. The prospect of Wavves live intrigues me, and Real Estate and Woods are really fucking good, soooo should be an interesting night.

Cadeonehalf · « **Reply #1110 on:** 16 Jul 2009, 06:46 »

Oh man Mayhem Fest is this weekend! As long as Manson doesn't play much off the last two albums and I don't get mauled when Slayer go on, should be a fun show!

show report from last night: future of the left were so awesome you guys. (even though i haven't heard much from them before and only went because i love mclusky and the tickets were cheap)

Ballard · « **Reply #1112 on:** 16 Jul 2009, 08:59 »

I'm hopefully seeing them at Siren Fest on Saturday.

Coincidentally- Siren Fest, fuck yeah! Built To Spill, A Place To Bury Strangers, Future of the Left, and a bunch of other bands.

This. I am contemplating going to this. Mainly because I don't have any plans that day. I just hope it isn't too warm. Two years ago it was way too warm and too packed to be any good.

Hey so guys do I want to see Akron Family or Sonic Youth on the 31st of Denver?

I like sonic youth better but Akron Family is like 30 dollars cheaper.

What was the setlist like? Mostly Beacons of Ancestorship, or did they play older stuff as well?

JimmyJazz · « **Reply #1116 on:** 16 Jul 2009, 13:38 »

Sonic Youth, no question. Get there early, get up front and prepare to be fucking amazed.

The Decemberists at the Kool Haus in August.

Eep, nothing about a live rendition of a rock opera can be bad!

Koremora · « **Reply #1118 on:** 16 Jul 2009, 21:14 »

It's fucking epic. I saw them when they came by on this tour in Raleigh, you won't be disappointed.

Oh fuck yeah dude shit is gonna go down! Coke Bust and Sick Fix are fucking crazy. I saw them both at the Coke Bust record release show. Hardest fucking shit I've ever seen, DC goes nuts for them. Go mosh yr heart out sam.

Ballard · « **Reply #1120 on:** 16 Jul 2009, 22:48 »

Guys I haven't seen any of these bands live and I only listen to a few of them, and know a few more by name. How do I want to do this?

Keep in mind, getting from one stage to another at Siren (let alone getting a good spot) takes an act of God.

Shit either way this Saturday will be awesome.

Joseph · « **Reply #1121 on:** 17 Jul 2009, 04:07 »

I was terribly disappointed when I saw A Place To Bury Strangers open for Shellac. They were pretty boring. Thankfully, Shellac is in all likelihood the greatest live band I've ever seen.

Quick folks! Do I go see David Byrne tomorrow? Does anyone know how he is live these days?

The Raveonettes and Japandroids at the same show? Jealous.

theoryC · « **Reply #1123 on:** 17 Jul 2009, 18:59 »

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.

Ballard · « **Reply #1124 on:** 17 Jul 2009, 22:33 »

fuck guys it is tomorrow and no one has suggested which bands I should see

Touch Me Im Sick · « **Reply #1125 on:** 17 Jul 2009, 22:55 »

Well, I'll just go with what I know. Raveonettes, Japandroids, APTBS, and Future of the Left.

Joseph · « **Reply #1126 on:** 18 Jul 2009, 02:52 »

Japandroids, Future of the Left, Monotonix, Built to Spill.

Seriously, APTBS are terrible live.

De_El · « **Reply #1127 on:** 18 Jul 2009, 08:09 »

If you can only do one stage, fuck everybody else and see Future of the Left. Maybe make your way over to the other one in the the hour span before Built to Spill.

20 jazz funk greats · « **Reply #1128 on:** 18 Jul 2009, 08:30 »

yeah dude, you have to see future of the left for sure.

Joseph · « **Reply #1129 on:** 18 Jul 2009, 08:33 »

I've heard Frightened Rabbit are incredible live, to be fair, but fuck man Future of the Left.

Kyros · « **Reply #1130 on:** 18 Jul 2009, 08:33 »

While I am incredibly jealous of people I know going to Siren, I get to see fucking Wilco in basically my backyard tonight, which is crazy considering I live in a random NYS Suburb. Just what Wilco's doing playing a stadium where my local minor league baseball team plays, I'm not sure. All I know is I'm going, and it will be awesome.

Joseph · « **Reply #1131 on:** 18 Jul 2009, 08:47 »

Oh fuck yes Om is going to be in Montreal.

And Mono and Faust will play PopMontreal.

Gah how was this?! I really wanted to go, since its not that far of a drive for me (at all) but then I saw the $45 ticket price.

Kyros · « **Reply #1133 on:** 19 Jul 2009, 23:13 »

Oh man, it was freaking amazing. Weather was beautiful and the setlist was amazing. My friend's girlfriend actually snagged one of them after the show. I ended up paying 25$ for a show poster because I crack up every time I look at it "WILCO: Live at Dutchess Stadium" hahah

Cadeonehalf · « **Reply #1134 on:** 20 Jul 2009, 06:52 »

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.

FRED WESLEY IS PLAYING IN SYDNEY.

(Fred Wesley was the band leader for the JBs and also played with Bootsy and George Clinton and oh man funk)

If by "excited about" you mean "expecting it to be an awesome show but I really wish it wasn't happening", then I guess Martin Martini & the Bonepalace Orchestra's Funeral Show at the Corner here in Melbourne on the 14th of August fits the bill. One of my favourite local bands, they always put on an awesome show and they're breaking up! Boo!

Last minute thing, but I went to a Briggs concert and it ripped my face off. It wasn't that crowded and the people that were there were fun as hell.

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!

The Briggs are fucking sick!

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.

Teenage Bottlerocket and the Cobra Skulls in October? Maybe. If I have money left from Dinosaur Jr.

Hey Pinback fans: Are Three Mile Pilot and Optiganally Yours any good? They're playing my town tonight but I'm low on dough and don't want to pay ten buxx, plus there's a much cheaper house show tonight as well.

Man fuck that shit. It was moved because of the rain, into an inside venue, with a max capacity of 500 people. It didn't rain that day from three o'clock onwards. The line was actually around the block.
