half of 3oh3 or whatever the hell they're called. This was before their "Don't trust me" came out. I was at a private party in the club above Toad's and stopped in then left.
badfish (a sublime tribute band)
beyond our reach
uh.. that's really all I can remember even though I know I've seen more crappy bands at toad's
I get the opportunity to see a lot of decent bands fairly often for pretty cheap because I live about 10 minutes away from Toad's Place http://www.toadsplace.com/
they send me free tickets constantly too, so if I have free nights, I sometimes go with some friends even if the band sounds lame. They usually are lame. In fact, I've never gone to see any of the bands I actually like at Toad's, they've always played on nights when I'm unavailable.

If anything, the other way around. RHCP at least knows how to stir things up, both instrumentally and just with music structures in general. They're a staple of alternative rock, even if there are many alt. rock bands that I like more.
Linkin Park is incredibly stale and boring when it's not just plain bad. Generally nothing wholly offensive to the ears, but boring still.
I saw Animal Collective last night and it was really incredible.
Black Dice played with them and I didn't like them very much.
I get to see Peter Frampton in July 13thish, then I get to see The Marshal Tucker Band that next day hocuspocus;
Billy Talent
Rise Against
Anti-Flag
And another band that I forget the name of.

I saw AC on the 19th of last month and thought it was only so-so.
They tried to improvise too much, and it rarely came together. Too much random screaming.
The parts that were good were really good though. You could tell when things meshed and flowed just right.
Maybe they were just a little sloppy that night.

That's interesting. They improvised a lot (to the point where halfway through "Fireworks" I couldn't even tell it was Fireworks) but mostly instrumentally and there wasn't much screaming at all. Mostly just instrumental. The only thing that I thought detracted from it was how much they improvised... I think making a five minute song a nine minute song is a little much and I wish they would have had a better setlist (it was good and varied, but it could have been better and I was really hoping for purple bottle and/or for reverend green)
Also, when My Girls came on everybody got really cute when the "woo" thing happened which just made the whole night better.

NONE YET BUT PQQU AND I ARE GOING TO SEE BLACK MOTH SUPER RAINBOW
Oh, I was at the Rise Against, Rancid, and Riverboat Gamblers concert on the 15th. I was also on the fuckin' front rail right in the center. I went with 3 friends, but 2 of them got pushed out of the front. I held my ground. badass. Anyways, all of them were fucking great. Rookie Sensation (singer of Riverboat Gamblers) dropped off the stage and used my hand to make a cool jump. Then after the concert was over, I got to meet him and got him to sign a concert poster. Another thing to note is that when Rancid was performing, some fat,short douchebag kept trying to push me into the rail. I flicked him off and he yelled "hey I'm not the only one here, asshole!". Then about 15 minutes later, he tried to push me again and said "so you hate me, huh?!" It was fucking hilarious. When Rise Against took stage, this really drunk bitch forced herself to the front (kicking 2 of my friends from the front). She was insane and stepping on my shoes trying to get me to move. She bit my friends back and left a huge teeth mark. She was in my friends spot for about 10 minutes until I found a time that I could block her from the front. She got pissed at me and put her alcohol cup against my throat. I lol'd and threw her hand back at her. She then ended up in the front in a different spot away from us. I also got kicked several times because of crowd surfers. Also when Rise Against was on, some girl asked to put her hands around me onto the rail so she could stay close. She was riding me the whole time Rise Against was playing. Her boobs were pressed against me and everything.
To sum it up, great fucking concert.

It was kind of a last minute thing. A friend said she had an extra ticket so I tagged.
They put on a really entertaining show. I was impressed.
Seeing Black Moth Super Rainbow at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston with a certain admin and a certain female, I think, on August 28th.
Quickly followed by Explosions in the Sky opening for the Flaming Lips on the 30th.
I want to see if I can find anything good around August 5th, though.

Nope. Although Hulaballo and HAARP had that model and, in my opinion, both were fantastic, this is studio-recorded. This is just a tour after the release. The live dates confirm this.
Seeing Incubus on the 22nd in indy... I think thats when it is
Green Day in 3 weeks to the day. :3 :3 :3
No, but I might be going to All Points West a month from now. I've only heard of like two of the bands that are playing, though.
That would be my first concert if I go.

So anyone who has the chance, please see Future of the Left over some time in July and tell me about it.
I am furious that I won't be there. Their new album is so sick, and it could be so good live.

I'm going to a pinback concert in a few weeks hocuspocus;
Saw Green Day last night in Pittsburgh. It was the best fuckin' concert in the whole world. I was in front row the whole time. I even got a guitar pick from Mike Dirnt. doodella;
While I've never really been to many actual concerts, I would die to go to a RATM show, hopefully they tour sometime soon. doodthing;
I'm supposed to go to a big one tomorrow. It's all Canadian bands playing, most of my favorite bands.. Marianas Trench, Stereos etc.. BUT I cannot go :( because I am going to a party tonight and tomorrow I'll be way too tired and I don't wanna drive there and back.
I don't even want to TALK about the fact that I missed Future of the Left playing in Boston.
But Black Moth Super Rainbow and Flaming Lips at the end of august yeaaahhhh
Okay, clearly I need to learn to drive to and in Minneapolis, because just looking at schedules for venues there, there are a lot of bands coming soon that I would enjoy seeing.
Collective Soul, Fleet Foxes, Pinback, Manic Street Preachers, The Cult, Alice in Chains, Built to Spill, Arctic Monkeys, Mono, Pinback, The Mountain Goats...all of these within the start of November.
Seeing Mono would be especially amazing, because it'll be stuff from their latest amazing album and they're likely to never play here again because they've said they hate playing in the US because people are stupid and loud when they should just be listening, because their music is so not the type where you yell and shit.
This is what I get for living a sheltered life in northern Minnesota.
Went to the Pitchfork Music Festival on July 19th.
Saw The Flaming Lips, M83, and Grizzly Bear.
You all must see the Flaming Lips in concert. Probably the best live act you can ever experience.
So far concerts that are lined up.
They Might Be Giants - Raleigh (9-19)
Allman Brothers and Widespread Panic - Walnut Creek (10-11)
The Pixies - Washington D.C. (11-30)

What albums did the Lips draw from? I need to prepare for their show in late august.
Also the clerk at the book counter notcied my Black Moth Super Rainbow tshirt and he was like "They're playing at the ICA right?" and I'm like "Yeah they are!" and he's like "Awesome, I might go!" and I'm like "You and everyone I fucking meet!"

I've seen the Flaming Lips. I thought the visuals were great. They really know how to put on a good show, take command of the crowd, and make everyone have a good time. With that said, I think musically they were kind of weak. I haven't listened to their music much though, so I'll probably eat my words later.

Well, I was listening to Yoshimi to get ready for the August concert...and, I gotta say it's not a really interesting album. They make a good groove and put a sexy drum beat under it and just leave it there, not letting it grow or mature. I wasn't impressed, although it is a pretty good album and I was expecting rainbows of joy into my headphones.

That one song.
I can see you and I having a wonderful relationship.
Every time I get excited to go see a concert, it seems that a schedule conflict occurs. Rush in '07, Roger Waters last year, Eric Clapton last June, and now Dylan. Yeah, I won't be able to make it. Dammit.
Now I'm thinking about seeing the Black Crowes in October.
I just got back from Incubus. I'm really not a huge incubus fan, but they really did sound amazing live. I was more impressed by the opening band though, The Duke Spirit. The singer's voice was gorgeous, kinda made the music similar to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Silversun Pickups.
Yeah, The Duke Spirit is pretty alright.

Just the idea of going to that show in 15 days is making me trip a number of balls equal to the fibbonaci number, with 1 being 3 days ago.
I am currently tripping 3 balls.
Also explosions and WHO THE FUCK ARE STARDEATH AND THE WHITE DWARVES AND SHOULD I CARE

What albums did the Lips draw from? I need to prepare for their show in late august.
Also the clerk at the book counter notcied my Black Moth Super Rainbow tshirt and he was like "They're playing at the ICA right?" and I'm like "Yeah they are!" and he's like "Awesome, I might go!" and I'm like "You and everyone I fucking meet!"
How convenient, I see this post right before you go.
Anyways, they mostly do stuff from Soft Bulletin and beyond, but at Pitchfork they played a few pre-Soft Bulletin songs. Not many, but the fact they played Bad Days was amazing. Though they said they'd never play it live ever again. saddood;
They open with Race for the Prize, like always. Play stuff like the yeah yeah yeah song, fight test, etc. Play a couple of songs from embryonic, Silver Trembling Hands and Convinced of the Hex. Acoustic sing a long versions of Yoshimi favorites. End with Do You Realize, as always. I can't remember their exact song list, and it was probably different from the normal since Pitchfork was so massive and it was "Right the Night". They also played Mountainside and Enthusiasm for Life Defeats Internal Existential Fear, which were both bloody brilliant.
It's all a mix of what new fans who would've only heard stuff post Soft Bulletin, and more hard core fans who've listened to their earlier stuff can all enjoy.
Again, might be different where you see it, the EP for Embryonic had not been released at the time, and they took fan requests. Either way, you'll no doubt have an amazing experience. Have fun. happydood;
By the way, sorry for the EXTREMELY late response. I don't stop by here often.

I fit firmly in that category, and so I guess I'll get some good context. If there are things I don't know, all the better. It's like the opposite of what I did with Radiohead; I knew all their stuff except for In Rainbows when I saw them. Now I'm going to know everything after Soft Bulletin.

The Embryonic EP is here, plus they have listening stations for the entire Embryonic album (hence why I'm getting to the door at 5:00 when the door opens at 6, Stardeath plays at 7, Explosions play at 8, and F'lips play at 9 giggle; ). I doubt they'll take fan requests, since the Pavilion management are pretty uptight (State Radio went over their allotted time and people threw shitfits saddood; ) T'will be a sick show all the same. Thanks for the tip.
The Mars Volta are gonna be here in October.
It'll be my third time seeing them. giggle;

HOLY SHIT
Crosby, Stills, & Nash concert was great. Everything about that concert went well. The venue (Woodlands Pavilion) was excellent, the volume of the band was perfect, and most importantly, they played well. Like, seriously, the only difference between David Crosby in '69 and David Crosby today is his hair color. While most old bands will just play their hits and get it over with, CSN added in a variety. They played a few Buffalo Springfield songs, they covered Dylan, the Stones, and the Dead, and played some songs from solo careers that weren't heard all that much.
Really good concert. My friend, who listens to CSN half as much as me, loved the concert as much as I did. Good concert and a fun weekend.

Amanda Palmer's boston show got cancelled, so ticketmaster better fucking give me back my 60 dollars. She say's I'll have a good shot at the new year's eve show because of this messup, so I'm excited for that. It'll work out...I think...
...my dad is very resistent of letting me go to the islands concert because it's a school night... >.<
Just got back from Say Anything. Omfg awesome, but I'll get to that.
Just so you all know before you read this: I was in the FRONT FUCKING ROW. RIGHT IN FRONT OF A SPEAKER. YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!
Opening opening act was Mike Del Rio. I had never heard of this guy, but I'm really glad that I got to see him. I'd try to describe him but I'm listening to his studio recordings now, and they're definitely the same songs, but they sound different somehow. He was still excellent. Also his drummer was a chick and she was good. What's up with that? Saw him outside after the show, shook his hand, told him he was awesome. He was.
Next up was TV/TV. They were not very good and the singer was trying, and failing, to make friends with the crowd. The banter was alright though.
Then Say Anything was up and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I actually knew just about every song that they played. That does not happen often for me. Here was the setlist. Any notes I make next to songs were straight out of Max's mouth, so if they're false, then Max is a liar.
Woe
Every Man Has A Molly
Alive With The Glory Of Love
Hate Everyone
Shiksa (Girlfriend)
Baby Girl, I'm A Blur
Mara And Me (first time anyone not associated with the band had even heard this song. AWESUM.)
This Is Fucking Ecstasy (first ever live performance)
Skinny, Mean Man
Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too
It's A Metaphor, Fool
Slowly, Through A Vector
The Futile
ENCORE:
Belt
I Want To Know Your Plans (a different song was planned as the second encore, but Max said fuck it and asked for a request. He played this solo with a guitar.)
Max was right in my face a few times. The girl next to me caught a pick, but that wasn't the best thing that happened at the show. The kid on the other side of me was a die-hard Say Anything fan. Absolutely no question his favorite band. He caught a drumstick. Max personally handed him the setlist. Oh, and also, he and Max were face-to-face a few times singing into the mix together. Just seeing that kid as ecstatic as he was was enough to make this an incredible concert. But, even without that, it was pretty damn awesome.
If you know me on Facebook I'll have up some photos and a couple videos up soon.

Also, someone get a ticket for the Mountain goats show, I need someone to go with cough jmv cough
I missed a Miike Snow concert because it was 21+ ;-;

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT.
GOGOL BORDELLO IS PLAYING THREE GOD DAMN NIGHTS HERE IN NYC, AND ALL THREE ARE FUCKING 18+.
I FUCKING HATE WEBSTER HALL. THEY TOOK THE MOUNTAIN GOATS AWAY FROM ME TOO. myface;
wat are ya 12
Le Loup came and gone...but there's Islands and Mountain Goats to look forward to.
Also, secret sale for Amanda Fucking Palmer tickets New Years Eve show, for those who got fucked over by the House of Blues cancellation. I got 2 tickets. She's asked us to keep the venue a secret, but holy shit that's going to be the best night ever. I'm so excited.

They are absolutely fantastic live. Like, maybe some other acts have more engaging and elevating shows, but no one can pull off the feeling that Black Moth Super Rainbow pulls off. It's at once cynically aware and beautifully observant and shamelessly energetic and unobliviously joyful.

The only other one that caught my eye was a solo act of one of the members of Incubus (I want to say Ben Kenney). There were some other good ones but I saw BSMR and remembered what you said about their performance and I was like OMFG YES.

Are they as boring as Ongiara would let on? saddood;
I use Ongiara as a chillout listen and I expected them to be similar live.
Nice mellow energy. Really good show. I walked away pleased.
i was lost in the lakes and the shapes that your body makes giggle;
i would love to see them live, i'm jealous
Floating over your rocky spine, the glaciers formed you and now you're mine...

Well, Wolfmother is now playing in Brooklyn so I don't have to take the train into the city. AWESOME
Okay, so I went to the show on thursday night.
First band was thenewno2 (Dhani Harrison's band) and next was the Heartless Bastards. Both of them were pretty good, but the best was Wolfmother. It was fucking awesome. Some of their songs I didn't like before were very good live, and they really put up a good show. The crowd knew how to mosh without anyone actually getting injured. Shit was great when they played Woman and Colossal.
Great show, I would go again if I could. Three bands, twenty-two dollars, fuck yeah!

Moshpits are only a problem if a) you're unobservant enough to get caught in one while it's starting, or b) if you're far up and trying to get out to take a drink or something.
Casa del Popolo certainly doesn't have any pits, that's for sure.
The worst I've gotten at a concert with a heavy pit has been a mohawk up the nose.

yeah but on second thought i don't think i'd really want to go without a friend, and even though i have a friend who would love to go, it'd be complicated to take him to oklahoma for a day when i have to visit family the next day. once again, my mom and her extended family who she sees like every month, have to fuck up my concert plans. this is almost as bad as when i had free rush tickets but i had to go to the lake with my cousins (when i could have easily done it the next weekend)
as you might be able to tell by now, my mom is a stupid fuck
@thyme: unless everyone's a dipshit, mosh pits aren't that dangerous. the ones i've been in didn't get too violent, they just pushed. if someone fell, they immediately picked him up. if someone dropped something, people would clear the area around him until he found it. i've never been to a metal show, though, and i would expect a metal mosh to be a lot different.

I've noticed that at punk shows I'm far more likely to get kicked in the face by crowdsurfers. Last metal show I went, I think I got kicked in the face maybe once. Last punk show I went to, I lost count of all the times I got kicked in the face.
Incidentally, girls are WAY better at crowdsurfing than guys.

Don't metal venues usually have stricter rules on crowdsurfing? If you're a not-too-mainstream punk band with a large enough following, you're likely to get venues allowing more crazy stuff to happen.
I say this, and then I remember the "The Wall" pit videos I've seen at a few large metal concerts, and I wish I've been to more of them. OM does not count. Down sucked.

Yep. At larger metal shows there will generally be a line of security guards between the barrier and the stage that will try to stop crowdsurfers. At smaller punk shows, on the other hand, the security people are either nonexistent or punk fans themselves and are cooler about crowdsurfers. A lot of it also has to do with the different kinds of energy you encounter at each type of show, which is also a lot harder to explain.
Large metal concerts are an experience. They can be scary if you don't understand what's going on. At my first metal concert I ended up right in the middle of a huge pit and I was afraid I would die. Once you realize that you're actually in very little danger, you can have a lot of fun.
Also, you saw OM? Lucky bastard.

I'm too young to go to the local metal venue, and I'm not deep enough into the genre to say "SHIT YEAH xxx I'LL GO SEE THEM" and get that done. The kid who used to take me to shows is off in Ohio.

To be honest, Thisquietarmy and Lichens, both of them two dudes with guitars and loop pedals (and a few other weirdnesses), were more interesting live. At certain points I just connected into their music, but it wasn't constant. I bet they're better on recording.
I might've had trouble being alone and hungry in a club in Montreal, too. I felt very antisocial, even when the lead guy was next to me on his laptop for about 30 minutes while I stared into space.

I've never been to a real local metal show like that, since my city doesn't have much of a metal scene. So I can't really tell you what that's like. Whenever I want to go to a metal show, I just get my dad to take me.

I can see why you felt that way, I think. I know exactly what you mean when you say you felt antisocial. I used to feel exactly like that at shows, where I would feel somewhat uncomfortable and annoyed at having to stand up and put up with other people for so long. I've only recently begun to feel more comfortable at shows.
While I've never seen OM live, I did recently see a show in which their bass player performed, so I know more or less what their shows are like. It's all about this communion, this exchange of energy from the players to the audience, from the audience to the audience, and from the audience to the players. To be able to appreciate that kind of exchange, you have to be able to forget yourself and get lost in the music, which for people like you and me doesn't exactly come naturally. If you keep going to shows you'll eventually stop feeling so antisocial. It worked for me.

That makes a lot of sense, it's a shame I couldn't connect with that! Mostly, it was me being in Canada. I go to Boston shows alone pretty often, and after a bit of nudging I'm able to open up. But also shyness.
Then again, the first two acts, in their noisey denseness, I think tried to create a lot of the same kind of connection. Hell, the second guy (Lichens) drank tea while doing his guitar thing. He had a voice part in his act too, and he made a point of very slowly working himself into a meditative state. The way he used his voice...I've never heard anything quite like it. He was also spasming a little bit, but in a non-scary sort of way: more like a "I am shaking because of the universe" kind of twitching. I got into it majorly.

Seeing 3 inches of Blood for the 3rd time this wednesday, I haven't heard their new album but they always have a good old fashion thrash-pit, so it should be fun. I also might go and see The Devil Wears Prada this coming weekend, just for the hell of it. Then in January I have two shows I'm really looking forward to, those being Devin Townsend/Cynic/BTBAM and then AFI. AFI's playing at the Catalyst, my favorite little 600 person capacity hometown club, which is a bit baffling, but it should be awesome fun, and much better than seeing them in some giant arena like I'm sure they usually play in these days. I find most of their newer material to be very hit or miss, but I trust no matter what songs they play, they'll put on a top notch show.
The new album isn't astounding, but it's decent.
also as usual i'm jealous of your concert lineup mostly because of devin townsend
Seeing James and Alyssa ecstatic like that almost convinces me...
I'm pretty much almost certainly going to see BTBAM now. maps;

Aw fuck gotta revive this one.
Last night, got a call at 6:30 from a friend inviting me to Ben Folds, opened by Kate Miller-Heidke. Doors were at 7:0, and I broke landspeed records on public transportation to get there before Kate ended. It's unbelievable that Ben is able to fill an entire room with his energy with only a piano. This is going to birth a blog post but I don't know when.
Also got invited to see Amanda Palmer's side project, Evelyn Evelyn, next Monday. I know nothing about them but it should be interesting. It'll technically be my third time seeing Amanda, although always in different incarnations and never just her.
The week after that I'm taking my cute friend to see Owen Pallett at the ICA. I'll be there around...3:00 PM, probably to fuck around the ICA and read books until 7:00. Or maybe not. Haha, to get at the venue before the artist...
The week after that we're doing the school musical and I'm starting my senior recording project, so that'll be music filled.
And the week after that I'm seeing Jonsi with a lovely lady. HIs new record is supposedly Gobbldigook times 12, which would be amazing.

i've never even heard them but my friend told me that they were awesome so i checked them out and they are pretty good
so i can't wait
I just purchased my ticket to see The Thermals on Wednesday night hocuspocus;
I can't wait it will be my first concert ever for a non-local band
So pumped to see The xx and Nosaj Thing today hocuspocus;
Got back from Evelyn Evelyn, i.e. Amanda Palmer and Jason Webly messing around for 2 or so hours. Wonderful cabaret-esque show, wish it had a bit more punch to it but the concept is enough to keep it rolling for as long as it did.
Concert was a success!
Nosaj Thing: Fucking awesome korean dude playing some sick electonic shit. Only lasted like 20 minutes but he strung all of his songs together and it was awesome.
JJ: I had never heard of them before, and the band consisted of one fat girl singing, awesome electronics, and one dude walking around pretending (literally) to play a guitar. It was pretty cool actually.
The xx: Fucking awesome.
I just got home from The Thermals playing with Past Lives and The Coathangers.
The Coathangers went on first and were really energetic and fun. They were jumping off the stage and pushing people around and just having a hell of a good time.
Then Past Lives came up and played some pretty cool songs and were funny making jokes about the crowd and like screaming at this one drunk guy telling him to dance. n_u
Then finally The Thermals came up and everyone just went wild. There was a mosh pit like right on the stage people were jumping up and then crowd surfing off and the band was just laughing it off. They played like a bit of everything including some new material that like no one had heard before.
It was awesome I loved it giggle; well worth my 14 dollars
I heard of jj and listen to them

beach house was perfect and melted into my 18th birthday. opened with walk in the park yeah yaeh yaeaah

bought my ticket for Joanna Newsom August 2nd in Oakland, California. Also, I might see CocoRosie in either San Diego or Englewood, Colorado.
Quote from: steal on April 28, 2010, 08:37:18 AM
hey oakland is kinda sorta near me. I might also see cocorosie, but in santa cruz.
also seeing tegan and sara + new found glory + paramore in san jose with anya, but that's not until september.
you should see Joanna if you like her because if its close to you that's perfect. I'm going all the miles up from Phoenix and cannot wait. I might see CocoRosie in San Diego but Colorado would be nice I think. I'm not in that state nearly as much as California. CocoRosie is great live...
A day to remember was fucking awesome. I got elbowed in the face but yeah other than that awesome.
Enter Shikari was so good <3
Jonsi in like...5 days. I hadn't realized.
Probably gonna see Mastodon, Between the Buried and Me, and Baroness on the 10th
Hey, anyone wanna buy me gaga tickets? wry
Katatonia, Orphaned Land, and Swallow the Sun are coming in september. Furk yeah
I saw Jonsi on the 5th, and it really really hit me, I'm writing more about it later because I'm trying to process and arrange it all. But afterward, we went to an afterparty and hung around eating nachos. Jonsi came by with his bandmates, and my girlfriend went up and talked with him, gave him a small gift including a letter, and talked to Alex a bit. I went and had a really awkward hello with Jonsi (who introduced himself, for some reason) and an even more awkward conversation with the batshit wonderful drummer.
Apparently he read the letter...he played here again on the 6th, and he dedicated the last song to "his friends Alyssa and Leah Eva."

Got my Of Montreal ticket I CAN'T WAIT
Flo
bots
do it
Just checked a local venue's calendar. These jumped out at me:
July 9 - Minus The Bear
July 23 - Interpol
July 27 - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes
September 13 - Cake
There are also a few big-name metal bands showing up there that I'm not too interested in (Shadows Fall, Thrice). Also Ted Nugent, George Clinton, and Ed Kowalcyzk. I love Live but I don't think Kowalcyzk will be as good solo so I'll pass.
July will be fun, though.
Asking Alexandria last night was awesome
Now I cant wait for Minus the Bear in 2 days giggle;
Free Yeasayer show in a week. Then I'm seeing Wintersleep and Matt Pond PA. And in July I've got The Flaming Lips, The Black Keys, and Minus the Bear. And in August Neon Indian is doing a free show. And then in September I'm seeing Broken Social Scene and Porcupine Tree.
And of course I might find more stuff to go to.
Going to Folklife in seattle this weekend giggle;
Can't want to see Conservative Dad, but aside from that none of the music really interests me.

Seattle's a 2 hour drive the only reason I would go up there is for a band I really really love.
Like Tool and Sublime in July :3
ahh I just got home from Of Montreal and Noot D' Noot
Noot D' Noot opened and was kinda disappointing. I had hopes going in but they didn't meet them. baddood;
Then after they played like 30 minutes they started setting up for Of Montreal.
The band comes out and starts off with Rapture rapes the Muses. They went through a bunch of other songs mainly from Hissing Fauna, Satanic Panic, and Skeletal Lampings. In true Of Montreal style they had crazy acts going on like people dressed in pig masks eating the brains out of mannequin heads, Kevin stabbing the heads off of puppets with his katana, or having two girls fight in feathers. He was also wearing stockings, booty shorts, and make up n_u
I got an awesome shirt too girl;

Nope he just had the booty shorts, stockings, low cut shirt, and make up on the whole time. I guess it was cause it was an all ages concert so he couldn't do something like that. wry
Crap I can't remember what they closed with... It might have been Plastis Wafer I know that was towards the end.

june 28th: islands. hopefully nick will give me a head massage again
july 31st: owen pallett, arcade fire, and whoever else up at Osheaga fest in montreal

I'll be seeing The Offspring, Pepper, and 311 at the Taste of Minnesota. I'd like to go all five days and see all the acts, but I don't have enough money for that, sadly.
I've wanted to see The Offspring since I was a little kid, and I'd still love to, so I can't wait giggle;

I'm not sure whether or not I'll see them since they're playing at MGS. I really hate stadiums. akudood;
I got my next two concerts in mind this weekend with bands I've not heard they are cheap though so whatever I am sure it will be enjoyable.
First friday night there is a couple shoegaze/dreampop bands playing in town at The Tea Bazaar which is awesome (PQQU can attest to that) then saturday http://www.last.fm/music/Thao+Nguyen is playing with http://www.last.fm/music/Mirah along with http://www.last.fm/music/These+United+States .
Hopefully they will be worth a combined 19 dollars. :3

Yep Thao Nguyen :3 I learned of the concert and listened to some of her/their stuff and it was lovely so I figured why not go if it is only gonna cost me like 14 dollars. I can't wait!!
And I will enjoy me some Tea, thanks PQQU giggle;. The bands playing at the Tea house isn't with Thao that is at a club thing but the tea one is a shoegazy dream pop so it would fit perfectly with the atmosphere.
did anyone see capn jazz on their latest reunion tour thing?
i want to know how dumb i was for not getting a ticket when i had a chance.
I meant to see Phoenix last week but none of my friends wanted to go.

Thao and Mirah are really really fun to see live.
They are very energetic and joke around a lot. :3 They also had trivia halfway through their set so the band could take a short break since it was like a 2 hour set. They gave out awesome prizes n_u like animal soup or led guitar wristbands.
TITUS ANDRONICUS SEPTEMBER 18TH RIGHT BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY FUCK YEAR THE POWER OF GOD

Their '08 tour was of Arm's Way, which was also a pretty sucky album, so I don't blame you. I probably couldn't have enjoyed the two of their shows I'd seen without listening to their records a lot.

Holy crap. This concert was AWESOME. Before this show, I never heard of Cinderella, but they were really good. And, as expected, The Scorpions were amazing. Definitely worthy of being my first concert since Green Day.
Apparently Webster Hall is unbelievably strict with their ID checks. So I'm likely not going to the Titus Andronicus show.
But I found out they're doing a show in New Jersey, all ages, in a tiny venue that's only 45 minutes from me. baddood;
I'm going to MoogFest even though none of the artists have been announced. It's in Asheville and it's done by the same people who did the Big Ears festival. so yeah.
My best friends sister has 2 crystal castles tickets. She might not be able to go and offered them to my best friend and I if she can't
Show is in august
Saw Tool. It was fucking amazing.
PITCHFORK 4 DAYS
Also, Ratatat in September.
The span of days that will be September 10-23rd will be pretty awesome.
Ratatat, Titus Andronicus, my friend's birthday, Best Coast, Free Energy, Male Bonding, Pavement (for the 2nd time in 3 months), my birthday, and my cousin's wedding.
fluxus: wrench;
oh so yeah i saw Peter Frampton and Yes two nights ago
Steve Howe is still a beast, and i really liked his little acoustic solo bit. Yes mostly stuck to their best-known stuff...Starship Trooper, Roundabout, Owner of a Lonely Heart...but a couple nice surprises from here and there as well, mostly from earlier albums (thankfully). their new vocalist's voice is so accurate it's scary.
Frampton had a good sense of humor, played around with the talkbox a lot and interacted with the crowd a lot more than Yes. it was kinda odd for him to play an instrumental version of Black Hole Sun but it was a nice surprise, but the best moments were, predictably, "Show Me the Way" and "Do You Feel Like We Do?"
all in all, good night. small venue at a winery...the sun was waayyy too bright for some of Frampton's show but once the sun went down it was great.
overall, Yes was completely kickass, Frampton was fairly awesome
Oh yeah, I saw ween a few weeks ago on the 26th of june in Chcago at the aragon. I've seen them quite a few times already, but I love the hell out of em so it's always a new and worthwhile experience.
Very intimate show though. The aragon is fucking beautiful aesthetically, but the sound was a little springy at times. We didn't want to move around, though, because we were basically planted right at Deaner's feet. Basically I was absorbing every fucking vibe his guitar was weeping.
Really good atmosphere too. Met a handful of really cool people and we tagged with them after the show to a few bars and shit.
Gener was off his mind, though, and, after listening to the rip of the concert, it's hard not to notice it. Didn't really phase me at the show. He came in late on a few songs and repeatedly fucked up the lyrics.
"Right to the ways and the rules of the world" and a cover of Bowie's "Let's dance" made up for it though. Maybe.
Good time though. And if any of you get a chance to see them before Gene dies of.....something, do it. They're quite a unique and badass live performance.
Pitchfork Day One-
Tallest Man on Earth was totally kickass, he said he had gotten off a plane from Sweden only a few hours before, and hadn't slept in 2 days, so he practically dying on stage in the 95 degree heat, and he was still amazing. Sounded great, good crowd, overall an awesome experience.
Then his sister, Robyn, came on after while we were waiting for Broken Social Scene. She was kind of dreadful.
Broken Social Scene live at Pitchfork was one of the best live concert experiences of my entire life, I was in the very front and very center right in the middle of the pit, having a wonderful time. Wonderful setlist, mostly stuff off of Forgiveness Rock Record and a couple older stuff. Was mindblowing and I honestly can't say enough good things about how they performed.
Modest Mouse's performance was total meh. Only 4 of the 14 songs they played was before 2004. Forgettable, but still nice to have seen MM live.
Then while we were waiting for BSS, Liars came on. I'd never heard them before but god damn they were fun to watch and listen to. They're frontman was exciting. I expected I'd be listening to something before BSS and wanting them to get their set over with so BSS could come on, but it wasn't like that at all.

They are my favorite band, but I suppose you love them more. I would never get the tat.
I saw them the 3rd and 4th of July. It was fantastic, especially the second show, which was probably the best concert I've ever been to. The whole second half was orgasmic bliss.
Also, THS in Minneapolis > THS anywhere else.
BUT HAVE FUN.
Quote from: Lain on July 13, 2010, 08:30:03 PM
oh so yeah i saw Peter Frampton and Yes two nights ago
Steve Howe is still a beast, and i really liked his little acoustic solo bit. Yes mostly stuck to their best-known stuff...Starship Trooper, Roundabout, Owner of a Lonely Heart...but a couple nice surprises from here and there as well, mostly from earlier albums (thankfully). their new vocalist's voice is so accurate it's scary.
Frampton had a good sense of humor, played around with the talkbox a lot and interacted with the crowd a lot more than Yes. it was kinda odd for him to play an instrumental version of Black Hole Sun but it was a nice surprise, but the best moments were, predictably, "Show Me the Way" and "Do You Feel Like We Do?"
all in all, good night. small venue at a winery...the sun was waayyy too bright for some of Frampton's show but once the sun went down it was great.
overall, Yes was completely kickass, Frampton was fairly awesome
Went to that same show.
Loved both of them.
My first show was MCR and Muse lolol
Seeing The Flaming Lips today. giggle;
Tried to see Medications a few days back, it was 21+. Wanted to go up and see Owen Pallett this weekend, but I'm working. I get Arcade Fire late this weekend, but the seats are terrible. Hard to see the positive, but I'm writing letters to all 7 + others of the band.
Flaming Lips were great. Now to see them again in 20 hours. akudood;
Breathe Owl Breathe in September probably and Deerhunter the 10th of august I hope
Both are way too far away baddood;
Also going to Virgin Mobile Free Fest this year. Anyone else going?
Saw Arcade Fire. Nuff said.

maybe The Tallest Man on Earth in October.

No, you're lucky. Now that his main tour's over, Owen's going to drop his pretty solid setlist and start playing the shit from his new 12" that's coming out soon. I'm going to have to drive to fucking Indiana for that tour. And Dirty Projectors too? A person outside of the venue was telling me I should go and I ended up bitching at her about Ohio and how much I loved those two.
Oh yeah you'll be away for school. :(
[spoiler]1) Ready to Start

---
16) Keep the Car Running
17) Wake Up
A quick inventory over that setlist reveals a lot. Almost all of their established live heavy hitters are played, taking up 9 songs; 4 of the songs were the pre-released singles, making, and what's left are three tracks that not enough people knew. It's perfect: be everything people remember or are used to in the band, walk onto sort-of-covered material to start and restart the set, and fill in with interesting material to look forward to on the record. Not many risks, but then Arcade Fire doesn't have to take many risks: the audience trusts them to come back, to tolerate even the new stuff: "sorry to confuse you with all these new songs," Win blurted at one point. I don't blame them, either. I'm not sure whether it was me and my memory of what an AF set should be circa 2007, or the audience's knowledge and enthusiasm for the material they knew, or the grooves that hadn't yet been worn into the new songs to make them their own, (or maybe the weight of a strict, vanilla, corporatized venue) but some electricity was lost during the middle part of that set. I wouldn't say there were any real quiet moments, but moments that were more "shuffle" or "tango" than "jump at a rock concert."
Wisely, Ready to Start was placed at the beginning. It rocks hard, has a strong synth melody on the high-end and a frantic and clear chorus. We all went nuts for it, and felt its guidance into the rest of the set, and we knew it, as we did Month of May. Or at least enough of us did to regenerate the electricity. Or maybe they felt better about it. Anyway, MoM balanced out the baroque arena rock with some baroque...punk, I guess. Just as RTS was accessible for its subject, MoM was accessible for that punk styling, for its repetitions and frantic syncopated lyrics.
But they knew what we wanted, and so they drew out the drums, and as the applause and excitement petered away the vague outlines of Neighborhood #2 (Laika) appeared, at which point shit hit the fan. I do think that the group does the old songs better, that they are spaces in which they know the contours and can vault boldly into the sky with all of their enthusiasm, as they did on the opening tunes but with less...comfort? Maybe what I'm critiquing is the new flavor of The Suburbs, that I see in these tunes, with their shufflesteps and slower builds and lack of catharsis (by the way, I lost my pitchfork bet :< ) in arcingly glistening statements in favor of the quiet and common modernity that forms a slow black choking inevitable tide over us. "The last kiss on the coffin of youth . . . the hard drink after a day's work" . . . and now the family, 10 years later, remembering their parents? The fact that The Suburbs takes the subject matter of Funeral from a different perspective freshened, I think, the approach to the old material. Anyway, it kicked ass and blew everyone's mind, cementing in us the expectation of a machine-gun heavy-hitter kind of night. Disco and all.
And so the culmination of the Arcade Fire style, the ultimate (and penultimate) cry of Neon Bible, the old song which was made new, with a bridge that contained one of the few rhythmless moments of the entire night, with two of the most powerful and extended crescendos in all of music, the one, the only, No Cars Go? Similarly, with the call of the horns, light flashes and fist pumps and abandoned shouting, we found trust. The group played it slightly downtempo but no less powerfully. It takes power to drag the thrill of an opening out for 4 songs, and they certainly managed.
Haiti was one of the top moments of the night. Cascading past a four-on-the-floor bass-drum, the rhythm and melody manage to hit every sixteenth note without sounding frantic, creating two levels of access: the melody's elegaic loss made only more compelling by Regine's impassioned stylings, and the rhythm's frantic, cycling need. The wordless and spoken parts seemed new and surprising, unexpected tunnels through the face of the song into new territory of improv and excitement. This band reps their care for Haiti a thousand times over, and it was a real gift to hear that in their music. Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains), which apparently does take after the Tracy Kidder book, had a similar wealth of spirit but was entirely new, entirely different. It grabbed less quickly than the other tunes, but it had a certain glisten to it, a fascinated transluscence which the simple scalar melodies and happy chord patterns only lended to. Subtle, definitely subtle. But Regine was screaming, so it was accessible. And, oh right, beautiful.
We Used to Wait was probably the lowest energy moment of the night, which was kind of a shock after the grab of the last two songs. It was a "tango" sort of song, with a brooding that didn't really take off. Shuffling around to it, though, you could feel the space they were crafting. In the background were shots of various papers and letters which, I assume, belonged to Alvino Rey, grandfather to Win and Will. Is his memory accessible to an audience, beyond the rarity of "My Buddy" and a vague link in the musical chain to AF? Maybe. As with this song and the others, the album as got to get known first.
Intervention was just lovely. The musicianship was a bit rough, notably on the marimba, but whatever. The spirit was everywhere. Also special to hear was not the LP-style full-force organ, or the demo-style acoustic guitar, but a strong mix of the two. With a better soundsystem that could absolutely destroy, but instead a certain sensitivity got lost in the sweep of the drums. Ah well. I wish I could say more about Modern Man, and later Deep Blue, and even later Half Light II (No Celebration), but I really don't remember.
However, The Suburbs shines brightly. One of the things I loved about the tune is how the darkness slowly chokes it, through layers that are added, rhythms that are changed, melodies which flare off, by degrees you enter a more anxious, even desperate space, but always quietly, always. Of course that effect is hard to replicate live, but even so, there was less punch last night, less sureness, less power into that downbeat stomp on the chorus and less soaring off into a new verse rife with more loss every word.
Which wasn't permanent, of course. Because there is only one other thing as exciting to me as the promise of the groove Neighborhood #3 (Power Out). A tune like that couldn't exist on The Suburbs; it's too simple in its statements, too complex in its weavings, too orange in hue (?), too young. Maybe the youngest song on Funeral in its supernova frantic pathos-laden punch. Or maybe not. But only one other thing can move my body like that, can hit so deeply the face of what this band has meant to me like that song. I can't say anything less personal about it.
And the other thing is a drumfreakout which morphs, little by little, into the realization that they're about to play Rebellion (Lies) and you should already moving. It fits the arena amazingly well, and while not as intimate as some of the earlier tracks, in its firey grandeur and towering irony (Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies!) it's immediately there for everyone. Shit continued to hit the fan. More fist-pumps per second seconds, more voice cracks per note on a wordless melody, more feet left the ground per song than anything else.
Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels), though...it was not arena rock. It had a dancing power that people went nuts with, and came in second on the voice cracks per note sung, yeah. It was infinitely personal, tender and young even after its composition 6? 7? 8? years ago. The Arcade Fire returns and manages, like no other song on the set, to pack in all of their many-layered pathos. A cosmic Sfogliatella. Their loss and their optimism in equal and magnetically charged parts drawing towards each other in their stage presence, their musicianship...I'm descending, but if you've seen them live, you get it. They just touch you and it's nice. And in LP3-era AF, they only get better at it.
I was pleasantly surprised with the choice of Keep the Car Running, and even more surprised with how they pushed at it, letting it breathe on the "when it's coming" parts, a brave move for an encore. The density just shot up on those choruses as the drums doubled the beat and the vocals shout, and that was done with such care. Goodness.
I'm tired, but Wake Up was Wake Up. It was the world and distant arena rock and shimmering sentiment. It was magnificently performed and also just had to happen. There is no way that this song, this set, this band is done budding over this tour. The later, the better.
Looking back, the show feels in part contrived, a deliberate attempt by the band to limit themselves and what they said on stage by planning it so carefully, fitting it with the necessities of an (shiver) arena band still kicking off their new-album tour. But what can you do at the Pavilion, on the second show of a long tour of a new disc? Personally it didn't matter at the time. Everybody, it seemed, felt welcomed enough to clap along when they felt like it, and not let the band decide. Me, I fucked up my elbow and my knee and my voice and the attitudes of a few haters behind me and it doesn't matter. That was, if I dare, the wildest, deepest show I've ever seen.[/spoiler]

I was there the first night. The beginning of section 100, to the right of the stage. akudood;
From the stream I was watching today, they played the exact same set list.
2 days of Lollapalooza down.
The Strokes, Phoenix, Spoon, Gogol Bordello, The Black Keys, and the New Pornographers were all fantastic, especially Gogol Bordello and the Strokes.
Tomorrow will be the best day for sure though, The Antlers, MGMT, Yeasayer, and ARCADE FIRE. All being front row and center stage. It will most certainly kick ass.
The Protomen on the 15th and Titus Andronicus on the 19th. hocuspocus;

Nice, I was in section 46, about the lower middle of the way down.
Tomorrow night I am seeing Deerhunter and Kurt Vile
it will only be 13 dollars unless I win free tickets which I hopefully will. I have a 1 in 43 chance
I guess The Smashing Pumpkins are going to be coming to Musicfest which I was already planning on going to hocuspocus;
saw Joanna Newsom in Oakland which was great. Seeing CocoRosie in Tucson in October. Of Montreal (on Halloween!!!) and Girl Talk are potentials.
Of Montreal on Halloween should be awesome
probably more crazy than their normal shows
Welcome back skylark! Try for the Of Montreal, definitely.
Planning on taking two trips from college to catch shows: one to Indianapolis to see Owen Pallett, and one to Michigan to see Sufjan, possibly with Veal.
I'm seeing The Protomen tonight. giggle;

The Protomen were fucking great. Saw them in an unbelievably tiny venue in Brooklyn. It was so small the opener had to play in the crowd because there was no room for his equipment onstage.
Also, the opener (Make Up And Vanity Set) made us form conga lines and dance circles, he was pretty damned good.
Got tix to see The National in Indianapolis on Oct. 2nd, opened by none other than Owen Pallett. JMV you'd better fucking tell me how the Wilbur show goes!

Dirty Projectors coming to raleigh.
I need your advice boyah. I'm taking a girl, i want good seats.
Should I be twelve rows back from the stage in the center aisle of seats, or six rows back on the left or right?
Center, let the experience wash over you. Enjoy Owen!
Saw Titus Andronicus in a tiny bar in New Jersey. They were amazing, and I got to talk to their vocalist outside the venue. giggle;
My town is having a dry spell of concerts I would enjoy for the next couple months :(
at least I had a nice pull this summer
The Thermals, The Coathangers, and Past Lives
Of Montreal and Noot D' Noot
Thao Nyugen and These United States
Deerhunter and Kurt Vile
and a few local shows
Animals as Leaders kind of stand out. n_u

I just looked that up, and that really sucks. :( We didn't even vote on the damn thing, and people who listen to these bands are likely to have voted against it anyways! Why punish us? I get that they're making a statement, but if I haven't even heard of it until now, then obviously it's not working too well.
ALSO DR. DOG IS PLAYING HERE NOVEMBER 8TH OH GOD YES
Seeing Vampire Weekend & Beach House today baddood;
Holy shit vampire weekend was so fucking good.
They sound just like they do on the album. They played all but 2 if their songs. The lights were fucking awesome. And just the whole atmosphere was amazing.
Oh and Beach House was fucking good too

Fucking crazy: Cocorosie is playing here really soon, and Owen motherfucking Pallett is playing a secretish show here before heading to New Jersey. Time #4, here I come.

Killer Whales/Wavves/Christmas Island show tonight was GREAT.
Killer Whales surprised the hell out of me. They have no recordings, which makes me sad because I want to hear them more. They were fantastic. They were first opener, and it was a nice small intimate venue, and there must have been only 20 people plus the band in there. All the members were hilarious as well. Interacted with the crowd, etc.
Then Christmas Island came on. They were good but not as good as Killer Whales. I did however buy an LP of theirs.
Then Wavves came on and did what Wavves does. Loud and energetic and stoned out of their minds. Crowd surfing, dancing, banter, good connection between the band and the crowd. Nathan played the whole show with 5 strings, then broke another one on the second to last song and played the finale with only 4. Good show, I'd say.
Fun times.
Saw a sweet looped violin artist named Emily Wells, she has a new LP coming out. Saw a few local groups: Fauxtrot, who did the most amazing cover of Take On Me in 8-bit style, and Agerstown Riots, who played a fine rocknroll/punk set. Catching, in addition to Owen Pallett, Cocorosie, and possibly Guided by Voices (Halloween show), Tobacco, frontman of BSMR. There's also a bunch of random noise shows that happen in apartments in the area, coupled with great punch.

Was so close to seein them when they came to musicfest here. Sadly, my friend who was gonna hook me up with a free wristband that gives you access to every band playing didn't come through.
So I missed out on them. The Smashing Pumpkins, The Decemberists, The National, The Walkmen, The Thermals, Japandroids, Surfer Blood, The Tallest Man on Earth, Ra Ra Riot, Menomena, and just a shit load of good bands.

I noticed that Free Energy is playing a show in November and I was like "eh," but then I saw that Foxy Shazam was opening and I was like AWESOME.
Also coming up are Rodrigo y Gabriela, We Are Scientists, OK Go, and Matt and Kim. Also Tim & Eric, but I'm afraid of what kind of show that might be.
I want to see Matt and Kim but they haven't played anywhere that isn't like 2 and half hours plus away from me doodthing;
I think I might go see Fang Island as well.
SOOOOO BOYAH.
The girl I was taking to the Dirty Projector's show in Durham had to back out. Now I'm left with an extra ticket.

Was going to see 30 Seconds to Mars tonight (it's Oct. 8 here) for free, but fucking no. Apparently I would rather babysit with my girlfriend instead. And if I go to the concert I would be ditching her and she would feel left out since my friend and her cousin would be going as well.
sorry about all the bitterness boyah. This isn't the only time she's been like this. I just can't fucking handle it anymore and will EXPLODE any second on her (not sexually)
Gorillaz on 10/20. Super-duper exciting, especially since Mick Jones and Paul Simonon will be in the live band.

They were here too but I got mine for 10 bucks each hocuspocus;
Thermals, Cymbals Eat Guitars, and So Cow on Friday. Fuck year. maybe GETTING SOME HEAD afterwards thatd be cool
RJD2 and Eskmo, or Pinch and Gemmy?
Next weekend. I have to drive 2 1/2 hours to see rj2d and eskmo, or I can drive 1 hour to pinch and gemmy. Both would be awesome. Except rjd2 and eskmo is at the catalyst in santa cruz and I was just there last weekend for my friends show with 6blocc and it was all rippers. Rippers is slang amongst my peers as jailbait. pinch and gemmy will be 21+ so the crowd will be older which I like better.
Saw Devin Townsend tonight. VIP package hocuspocus;
VIP people got to see devin play an acoustic show. He played two songs off his upcoming album ghost so that was cool. Then I got a free T shirt and got to meet devin. Got a pic with him making the most awesome face ever.
Devin is one of the most entertaining people to watch on stage. He is so full of energy and everything he does is crazy. He got up in my face about 5 times making his stupid devin faces <3
SO YEAH IT WAS PRETTY COOK
Post the pic Geno!
Danced more than I ever danced before at Dan Deacon. And my concert experience includes LCD Soundsystem and of Montreal, so that tells you something.
Moshed more than I ever moshed at Lightning Bolt. ****ing hell, what a brilliant performance.
Dan Deacon is the chillest bro of all time, like always (and like always with Lighting Bolt) he played down right at our level, went into the crowd numerous times, organized dance offs, and just made it a fantastic atmosphere. Him and Brian Chippendale were setting up equipment right in front of us, they're such cool dudes.
So yes, go see Dan Deacon and Lightning Bolt when they come to your city on this tour, you will not regret it.
Best $5 ever spent. Also got a kick ass Dan Deacon shirt, it's a gladiator with serpents for a head.
Should I see Xiu Xiu
The National, man, they played for fucking ever.
they're fucking teasing me man

Got my ticket for Crystal Castles cjlubdoods;
saw band of horses and their openers.
Uncle Mountain is a band from Asheville, they sound pretty similar to BoH. I was impressed with their show this go around (I saw them once during a street festival) I kind of wish their drums were...I dunno...bigger. The music has potential, it just needs a stronger drum presence and better lyrics.
Jenny and Johnny were great. Jenny Lewis is has a great voice. The bass played only had one move where he would kind of sway back and forth.
Band of Horses played forever it seemed like, but they did a good show. Not familiar with their music, but I'm definetly going to check it out.
Enter Shikari was so fucking amazing. Best crowd I've ever seen. Partly due to the fact that the band jump in the pit and started going fucking crazy while continuing to play. My voice is dead from yelling so much.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor added a third Chicago show, and it's all ages. Just bought my tickets now. I am so fucking excited. n_n
I'm seeing Crystal Castles and GY!BE within 10 days of each other. MARCH 2011 CANNOT ARRIVE FAST ENOUGH.

i hope theres still tickets for this show
holy shitballs am i in extreme pain
we had to wake up at 9AM to get into the city on time to get a ticket, we manage to find them at this comic book store in brooklyn at about 1 and find that the venue got changed to a smaller one and so only 400 people were to get tickets, us being the 320th, nutssss
then we walked around brooklyn for about 8 hours. yeah.
then the show HOLY FUCK. as soon as titus started playing, the crowd got so nuts that a huge chunk of people in the front just went down immediately. like, so many people on the ground. pretty sure someone was going to die there, but they managed to get up (my friend alkis lost his glasses keys and phone in the process, as far as i know he did not get them back)
when the crowd started to calm down (probably too many drunk people had to leave to throw up, i saw so many sick faces), it got intense. it was just a damn good time. my friend matt got onstage with like 10 other people for titus andronicus, so i'm waiting around for one of those pictures.
all in all? pretty good new years eve. except now i don't want to move. fucking ow.

oh god why
i saw them for free and it wasn't even that good
In other news, I saw No Age today, in this little venue which was seriously just a house in a rural area. The band played in the tiny living room. It was really fucking crowded in that tiny room, but luckily I was close enough where I was about 2 feet away from the singer's face. The music was awesome, and the crowd was pumped as fuck. A random guy next to me decided to pick me up, and I crowd-surfed throughout the crowd for a few minutes. It was really amazing. People were moving and shoving everywhere, nobody could stand up straight, music was blaring, and I was soaked in sweat and beer. At the end of the show, I got a picture with the lead singer/drummer, which was pretty awesome. I shook his hand too. Also, my friend (girl) was almost always near me, usually in front of me, pressed against my body. We shared plenty of looks, and it was just amazing.
Also, the show was entirely free. They just asked for donations at the start. Apparently the members of the band are friends with the guy who owns the venue, so they always make a point to play a show when they're coming through the region. Definitely the best experience of my life. So fucking amazing.
After that, we walked over to my friends' apartment (literally a 10 second walk - the house was right next door), and just hung out for a good while.

daaaaaaaaaaaamn! I forgot that was tonight...
well, at least i know i didn't miss you or anything.
i was crammed in the back of a tiny tiny clown car, car broke down about an hour and a half into the 3 hour trip (but the car kept running, only on 3 cylinders), then we got to phoenix, then the car broke down again (now running on 2 cylinders), then we drove around for another hour or more to find the driver's friend at a car parts store, spent an hour and a half watching her fix her car and replace tons of parts in the parking lot, and by then it was like 10:30 or so. Then we went to in-n-out, then spent about 3 hours driving back, making for roughly 8 hour car trip to nowhere, crouched up in a ball.
Hahaha... wow way too much car... haha!

Waiting nearly four years to see The Mountain Goats ended up being one of the most worthwhile waits I've ever had to undergo. Well, considering I'm only 16 there haven't been too many waits longer than four years. But whatever. It was magical. <3

Maybe I'll be able to see at least one of those nigger
nvm lol
In the end I did get to see AJJ. Shit was coo'. goodjob;
gdluk zidon
Saw Soft Circle and Lichens after work on Monday, very good. Soft Circle did an electrodance thing with a lot of voice loops, synth works, and weird structural turns that made the beats a lot sexier. Lichens often does looped guitar work, but he did a lot with a rack of prerecorded sounds, and put his voice over it. Highly recommend both.
Soooo...
I saw a Ke$ha concert in Budapest yesterday... Only stayed for a couple of songs (until I ran out of liquor), but it was completely free, so no complaints

I wanted to go see The Decemberists but to be honest, I don't feel like paying 45 dollars for a ticket. akudood; too expensive for my taste. Especially since it is outdoors and I can just stand somewhere else for free and hear it.
Opeth sounds like fun though!
GENO COME TO PAX INSTEAD OF BUMBERSHOOT YOU FUCK
Hmm a few things coming up for me:
(http://capitolhillblockparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/poster_final.jpg)
I think I'm only going to go for one day, so idk what bands I'll be seeing, but there's a lot of bands I want to see so I think I'll be happy regardless.
also
Cloud Cult Aug 25th
I'd only be interested in seeing Ghostland Observatory and TV on the Radio. Everyone else that I want to see, I'm already going to see later this year. Not worth the drive.

that tour came through my town a few days ago. shigeto is p. cool
shigeto IS great. I bought my ticket for star slinger before I knew shigeto was on the tour and it's very exciting. I just listened to mux mool for the first time and it's going to be fun to dance to. All of it is going to just be really gooood
Shigeto played an hour+ long set and it was so so so good. I didn't expect him to play a drum kit. It was so good. My friends made me take a pic with Star Slinger (who looks like a moon kin) which was pretty ridiculous. His set was amazing I thought. I wish it had been longer. He said that he liked the last night show better than the sold out show in L.A.
dance dance dance it was so goooooodo.
Definitely seeing The Protomen on Nov. 9th. giggle;
I got two free tickets to see The Black Keys tomorrow.
And I'm seeing Portishead a day after that.

So, it's just him wailing around up on stage or does he have a band?

From what I understand it's just going to be him.
He's been dipping back into making public appearances. he did a show for Occupy Wall Street, and he was supposed to play some festival in NJ. I'm not sure if he ever did. I think all this is to promote that crazy NMH box set.
Anyway, he's playing a show in Chapel Hill, a show in Atlanta, and two shows at the 40watt in Athens. The Athens show is the one I'm trying to score tickets for, since the Elephant Six started there.
jeffery been playing with a lot of elephant 6 bands when they play in ny but no new songs

He plays acoustic versions of NMH songs basically.
There is a possibility, though growing slimmer every day, that I may see Cage the Elephant on the 30th this month. Then a more likely concert is Rise Against with A Day To Remember in January.
saw blue scholars and scribe(s?) on saturday night
cool show
not many concerts this semester. booked a few though. I'm seeing a lot of local punk, and going on tour with one of the bands this January. I wish I went to more classical concerts.

so it will be awesome
CocoRosie postponed until June philip;
Quote from: Echo Weiss on January 31, 2012, 08:35:29 PM
which was?
Terrible setlist. They pretty much only played one of their great songs (Face of Melinda). The rest were just songs from Heritage, and bonus tracks. They even played that one song from the fucking God of War soundtrack. No heavy songs at all. It was a mess. I mean it wasn't a BAD show, it was just a terrible setlist that completely ignored all of their previous work aside from one song. And they played the exact same setlist for every show.
But hopefully they'll change up the setlist a bit more.

I'd pay to see J&J banter back and forth
I saw The Mountain Goats again.
I couldn't dace because there was a cripple girl behind me and I was afraid i would step on her.
also, the crowd wasn't as into it as last time
was still a good show though.
I'm seeing Ingrid Michaelson with Selena in May. bassir;

I want to hear what you think of this of Montreal tour! I went last night god damn.... I thought it was so good. I saw them last may and this tour seems a little more dark and serious but still amazing. They didn't play as many older tracks than the last time but it was such a good performance. Kevin Barnes is a babe
The encore was a lot of Skeletal Lamping + Gronlandic Exit and it was awesome
i also took lsd and all the projections they have on stage and stuff were really cool. great stage set up
Ordered my ticket for Eve 6 on May 17.

I want to see the flaming lips so fucking badly and i've heard they put on god-tier shows but i kind of doubt i'll ever see them or at least for a very long while
I never dance at shows. I want to take in as much of the music as possible and dancing takes away from that for me.
Also I am bad at it.

I would argue that dancing is the bodies natural reaction to the music, and when music is done right then you can't help but move.

i did not go to that show
the day before that show i had to work for 15 hours and when i got home i was told i had until noon that day to get a bunch of work to one of my professors or else i'd basically fail the class
so i woke up at 4AM on that thursday and went to bed at 1PM on friday and missed the show :(
was it the best because i hope so
It was pretty rad
And they were selling the queen album there
my favorite sets at Symbiosis were ~~ Shlomo Shigeto & Emancipator. Tipper was so good. Actually lost of bitches did a good job
I might be going to Warped Tour on July 12

cocorosie seriously tore shit up on saturday. it was my 4th time seeing them. things got different and bianca addressed the crowd. it was very high energy and their setlist was good and i enjoy all the new stuff they played. it was also sierra's birthday and they played "kitty kat" which i'd never heard live and sierra cartwheeled a few times and danced a lot. very good
they also have an older asian man in the band as *BeAtMAster* and he was awesome. Tez had a 10 minute beatbox intermission which I always <3
I saw Amyst and Circa Survive last Saturday
It was pretty cool
I'm seeing Starfucker on Sunday. And then on Tuesday I'm seeing Wintersleep, which is awsome because I've been a fan of theirs for years but this is the first time I'll get to see them headline, since they aren't in a 21+ venue this time. giggle;
Then in July I'm seeing Murder by Death on the 17th and River City Extension on the 21st.
And my friend wants me to go to Summer Slaughter with her so I might go to that.

yeah it's a real bummer that angel isn't in the band anymore. I really liked her voice, but she performs and writes under the moniker DERADOORIAN and her stuff is pretty good. Maybe she will rejoin DP, who knows. Also I kind of enjoyed the new stuff. Dirty Projectors put on a killer live show.
Speaking of dancing I'm going to see Man Man at the 40 Watt and it sounds like it would be a dancy show but IDK how it will turn out.

I'm familiar w her solo werrrk its one of the reasons I like her so much! SO good. But it would be cool if she did rejoin because what she brought to the band was great. Not that there aren't still amber + the other one. Dat song Angle made with Avey Tare!

it was a great performance, if just a little stale. they could really benefit from changing the set up i think
also there was a lot of choreography.
BUT THESE ARE NOT BAAD THIGNS
everything was really polished. They could do that show in their sleep. It was great. I'd see them again If I could.

jeez, i think maybe 3. This Must Be The Place, Road to Nowhere and Burning Down the House. Played a lot of stuff from the new album/their solo stuff. They did like all of Love This Giant minus Dinner For Two. Like 4 or 5 St. Vincent songs and then three solo DB songs.
SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS

can you imagine being 40-50 years old and preforming songs you wrote in your teens because kids not even half your age demand that you do so.

it drives me insane really. the thought of it. having what you are doing now get completely overshadowed by what you were doing way back when. i get it a little bit from my parents who mention and try to get me to say lines from previous performances i do and it is so strange. like getting asked to put on the pants you wore when you were a child. but im sure that he gets that 1000000000000000000x times magnified.
ALSO
I saw Dan Deacon while I was in Asheville. During the show he set up crazy lights that flashed around. But outside of the music, he does some audience participation stuff. Running around, spreading the crowd apart. getting everyone to walk in a spiral with their hands on the head of the person in front of them. Something happened at the show where we became this great community of sorts. Everyone was vibing on the music. It was great, wonderful, transcendental, and moving all at the same time. The music you couldn't really focus on, or rather you didn't want to. It worked in the back of your head I think. But it was beautiful. Everyone jiving and crashing into each other. ONE GUY IN FRONT OF ME JUMP STRAIGHT UP AND LANDED ON MY HEAD. I think there is a link between what happens here and what happens in churches. Glossolalia, speaking in tongues, trances, etc. etc. I think that maybe that sense of being one of something larger than yourself is the trigger for this. I don't know if I'm right or not but I do think there is a common denominator in those things. So yeah A+ show
agh Notsid that sounds amazing :o
i wanna see dan deacon so bad but i literally can't miss anymore school i'm gonna die
but on monday grimes was fucking amazing. it was really one of my favorite shows i have ever been to. myths and elite gymnastics opened and i loved elite gymnastics. damn. sooooooooo much dancing. and i have something signed by grimes how cute how cute and grimes is wearing (probably not still but hopefully) a kandi i made. <3 <3 <3 she's cuuuuutue and she did it well
and then i saw shpongle and it was prety insane.

i mean its going to be a good performance. he doesn't do a lot of those songs anymore. Like really the only early song he does occasionally is psycho killer. The tour before this one was cool because he did songs like air and the great curve. but the tour is him and st. vincent so he couldnt really go for some deep cuts.
also road to nowhere is a killer song what in the world

I saw David Byrne/St. Vincent on Saturday, and loved it. I love both of them to death, and together it was almost too much awesome on the stage at the same time.

I just saw Jeff Mangum.
It was nothing short of a religious experience.
He did Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2 as the encore. It was so beautiful. ;_;
yeah i saw this concert. It was good to attend a show where everyone was focused on the performer and wanted to hear his music. no one (that I saw) took pictures or videos. Jeff was as I expected him to be. Reserved onstage, plowing through most of ITAOTS and a few songs off In Avery Island and that one song Engine. He was also augmented by some horn players later in the set.
The encore for my show was In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. The only songs he didn't play from ITAOTS were Communist Daughter (which is what I wanted to hear) and the untitled song.
communist daughter is the best song on the ALbum

TTNG and Tera Melos were the shit guys, I'll be back in DC in a month or two to see Own next. I've never been to a small show, there were like 100 people in the entire club but it was tons better than the shows I've seen in packed amphitheaters with thousands of people.
i saw devendra and of montreal last night and it was really fun
Currently waiting for James Blake to start posting here cuz I'm bored

there was a free edward sharpe concert downtown and i stayed for about 20 minutes
1/3 of the people were over 50 and brought blankets and snacks and their kids
the rest were dumbass men who wore flannel and didn't shave for a few days and women who left their bras at home (which is a trend i'd like to see spread)
but seriously who the fuck dresses up like a "hipster" for radio pop
always fly the flannel
the mountain goats and dan deacon are playing a free show in asheville in july so probably going to that

Deafheaven on July 4th. giggle;
oh i forgot to mention that I saw David Byrne and St. Vincent when they came to town.
I had a great time, danced the whole two hours. Two other friends went to that show. One had an amazing time, same as me. Other was pissed that St. Vincent was part of the show (bedufflement) also read reviews of people who hated the show, but also saw posts on tumblr who loved the show. It's funny how polarized the crowd seems afterward. It's important to note that everyone was dancing the few times I turned around.
dunno what show will be next. probably the free shows i posted above
summer slaughter tour
minus animals as leaders and DEP lel
Since I last posted in dis thread I saw the breeders, r. Kelly, m.i.a, tycho, purity ring, emancipator, pantyraid, griz, pumpkin, an-ten-nae, blockhead, giraffage and tonight I saw moon king and majical cloudz and it was sooooooooo beautiful
arctic monkeys the 26th and kanye+kendrick lamar next month lol
i have shigeto, gold panda, daedelus and cocorosie comin up
shigeto just played here, i missed it.
i saw this shitty Talking Heads cover band last night. They played some b-sides which was cool. but also they were too "jam band"-y. a lot of the songs lost their paranoid and antsy feeling. also it was 15 bucks which sucked as well.

you should go if you get the chance, they performed a ton of their best songs, put unique spins on them, and integrated them together seamlessly. also their new album is way better than their last and is great live.
oh yeah and I saw cibo matto tonight, the first thing Miho said when she walked on stage was "Don't fuck with me." and then they went into Sugar Water thumbup;
also it was the drummer's birthday so they brought out a cake for her during the encore and after she blew out the candles they played Birthday Cake and everyone jumped around and sang along and it was bad
ass
I bought two of their shirts lol
oh yeah and the opening band was pretty nice too (Salt Cathedral)

FUCKIN HYPED akudood;
FUCKIN DELIVERED akudood;
I saw St. Vincent and her opener Noveller (pronounced No Veller, not Novel-ler like i first thought but i guess the double L should have given that away.)
Noveller is a Brooklyn composer, producer, and filmmaker. Her music is pretty much High Falootin' shoegaze shit. Not very interesting from song to song, and from the brief time she was on stage i got the feeling that she took her music waaay to seriously (Anyone with jaguar and a ipad can do that shit she does.)
St. Vincent was cool. Most of her set was her new album (i think every song was played except for Severed Crossed Fingers)
One thing that bugged me on the record was that it was obvious St. Vincent wanted to make a dance-y record but refused to have a rhythm section that was fleshed out. This complaint was magnified with her live band. Two keyboard players and a drummer. The synth's were kind of regulated to making weird overtones and the drummer was pushed waaaaaay back. Incredibly disappointing on songs like Digital Witness and Huey Newton. She's also got this weird stage persona now, where she addresses the crowd like some sort of outsider, like an alien or something making observations about the world around her. During the set she makes guesses at what the crowd did when they were younger ("You spent nine hours building a fire and when it lit you stomped it out because you were afraid of fire"?????? whatever lady). However at one point during her communication with the crowd she made eye contact with me and was guessing that my younger self "built a throne in my garage but the materials were pbr cans and aluminum foil and when you finished it you tore it down and smoked a spliff" which i had never done but probably should have.
Despite the less than stellar rhythm section, the rest of the show was great. She touched on the highlights of her previous records. She performed her single from a few years ago Krokodil, which was a nice surprise and closed with a tremendous version of Your Lips Are Red. No songs from Love this Giant though :(
Also everyone in this generation is a goddamned photographer and if you hold your phone up during a concert to take a video you are a fucking piece of shit. I spent most of Noveller's time on stage watching through the iPhone screen held in front of my face by the short coked out girl in front of me. During the concert she shushed the people around her?????? and then during the next song she was loudly talking and laughing with her friend about the pictures she snapped of Noveller. Holy shit man. Put your phone away. Be a part of the experience. If you really love the music (like you told everyone within earshot) then listen to it. Respect the artist.
i will say the iphone screen is very nice though it's almost like i was actually at the concert.
i am completely there w you about the phones and taking vids of the concert. everybody is just gonna upload it to the same social media site anywaysz and the vids are not of good enough quality to have any purpose but to show that you were there.
BUT i saw shpongle and darkside recently and i went to gem and jam a few weeks ago in tucson and saw lots of ppl and i bought my tickets for LOW END THEORY FEST and i cant wait

u might as well just catch frank blakc doin a club gig or see The Breeders
frank blakc will be a third of the price *assuming he's gonna tour again and not just plop his fat ass down on the cash raked in from the reunion* and The Breeders wil be at least half of the Pixies price and probably will play a better venue/they have some solid ass albums but rprobably no pixies songs will be played
breeders songs are better than pixies songs

Jukebox was p great would recommend seeing. It was only $17 here too which is really cheap.
They're touring with Mike Mains & The Branches and Coin, neither of who i knew but they're both pretty good.
Jukebox played a good mix of songs from all their albums and were pretty cool guys. They ended with My Heart's the Same/Lighting Myself on Fire which was great because that's one of my favorite songs by them.
Got this neat shirt too.

Seeing The Flaming Lips in February and Andrew Jackson Jihad in March!! John's going with me to the latter show.
i saw ajj perform live outside a dive bar in asheville. then they turned around and played inside the bar.
I want to see the mountain goats in may but fuck dude. 35$ with fees. that's twice what I paid to see them in Asheville.
but maybe it's just this tour since the same venue is charging 20$ this go around instead of the usual 12-15$
it's cool that there are a bunch of shows coming through portland, but it also sucks that they can get mad expensive
It's $50 for me to see the Lips, most expensive show I've ever personally paid for.

It's $50 for me to see the Lips, most expensive show I've ever personally paid for.
did you see the lips by themselves? I saw them at some shitty festival in Atlanta and paid 30 something for 3 bands. their set was kind of a greatest hits thing though with some of the bullshit pink floyd stuff thrown in.
most I paid for a concert was David Byrne and St. Vincent at like...70$? something like that. But I got front row center seats and it was DB so it wouldve been worth it either way.
You're going to see tMGs, yeah? If you've never seen them before go for it. Darnielle has a lot of back and forth with the crowd and plays stuff from all over his discography. The new stuff's been hit or miss with me tho, the last album only half the songs were worth a dam and i'm not too into the new single (his stuff is getting reaaaaaally over produced.)
The Lips show is in Feb, haven't been yet. But yeah I'm seeing them by themselves. Its actually a Clouds Taste Metallic show. They're playing that album in its entirety.
And yeah its pretty certain now I'm seeing the Mountain Goats in April too.

jeff rosenstock is from phoenix too. or at least, his band bomb the music industry was phoenix-based.
now that i listened to the new mountain goats album i want to see them live but its sold out ;_;
I still haven't listened to their new album so I should do that before I see them live next weekend
Mountain Goats show fucking RULED
About half the setlist was like all the best songs from Beat the Champ, rest was a mix of stuff. Encore songs included their old well-known tracks This Year and No Children.
Got Beat the Champ LP, shirt, and poster for merch and John signed them.

it was my second time seeing them. The first they opened for toe.
soda bomb and spraynard opened this time. Soda Bob kicked ass. Spraynard... Maybe I'm missing something but they seemed like slightly above average, but really tight, generic pop punk
Good show tho. I brought along a friend who knew none of their music and he was blown away

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck i wanna go
saw death grips
i was planning on death grips but i wouldn't have had time to go and they sold out really fast anyway
i'm seeing melvins and cows (among other bands i don't really know) tomorrow at an all-day thing i may or may not stay at for the whole time. like nine hours total.
depends on who plays when.
oh man you're missing out. death grips was seriously one of the best shows i've ever been to, and that was the general consensus among just about everyone i talked to
They make you wait forever before they actually go on but once they do HOLY SHIT. like HOLY. SHIT. OKAY SO. The stage is all lit up in blue while we were waiting and they played Fashion Week and some other stuff that was apparently the ILYs which are Death Grips but not? idk. Anyway, the whole stage goes red, there are red lights on the crowd, everyone's already sweating, and Death Grips come on. No words, they just immediately started up with The Powers That B and LITERALLY DID NOT PAUSE FOR A SINGLE INSTANT until they ended the show with I Want It I Need It an hour and a half later, then they just got off stage and that was it. No light show, just solid red lights for the whole thing. The entire floor was just a pit of aggression and people knocking each other around. If that's not your thing, it was easy enough to escape to the edges or the balcony upstairs, but getting in there was so much fun what with the whole vibe Death Grips gives off. This from someone who usually can't stand moshing. After the show, my shirt was entirely saturated with sweat, and everyone I saw was in the same boat. I spilled about half a bottle of water on one side of my shirt and it changed nothing about the wetness levels of any part of what was going on with my body. I got out of their and wrung my shirt out on the sidewalk after.
tl;dr: got bruised, impossibly sweaty, and dehydrated while getting yelled at by an angry vagrant over the sounds of the dystopian future as predicted by 80s action moves 10/10 i wanna do it again tomorrow
I'm still not convinced MC Ride is a real person, by the way.
fuck
hopefully they don't break up for good before I have a chance to see them again
seeing Chelsea Wolfe on Aug 31 (this coming Monday)
Earth on Sept 7
Desparecidos (with Joyce Manor opening yay) on Sept 13
FIDLAR on Sept 14
more planned, but those are definite ones coming up soon
dang how much is that costing u?
not much. most shows i go to are typically pretty affordable.
chelsea wolfe is $14, earth is $15, desaparecidos is $20, fidlar is $15.
most i've ever spent on a show was $50 for flaming lips. they were the most by far, i think the only other semi-expensive show ticket i've purchased was like $30?
aaand i just discovered there's an Eagles of Death Metal show on Sept 9 and i happen to be off work that night so i might go to that too. will probably be fun, i really like their old album Peace, Love and Death Metal.
hocuspocus;
John and I are seeing Mew tonight

GOD DAMMIT KAZ YOU'RE NOT HELPING
sorry cry;
'ew too??
oh hey kaz i don't know that you saw them but it fits the topic, a friend of mine is touring with his friend's band right now, who are on tour with joyce manor
when i saw Joyce Manor last month, they and Ripper were opening for Desaparecidos
I'm gonna be a seeing a festival in Rosemont on NYE. I'm the most excited about CHVRCHES and Purity Ring, but other bands are gonna be there too.
Flyer in the spoiler :D It's my first festival.

seeing deerhunter tonight hell yeah
i saw ty segall (AND THE MUGGERS) last night, and it was alright. not as big of a fan of the direction of his music these days compared to the likes of melted and goodbye bread n shit. was definitely entertaining, but not as good as the last time i saw him, and unless he goes back to the garage fuzz shit (and/or performs with/as TY SEGALL BAND) it will probably be the last time i see him. $35 a ticket was also WAYYYYY too fucking much
seeing downtown boys and pissed jeans tonight which im really amped for though, got a lot of pent up mosh in me that i couldn't get out at ty segall last night lol
upcoming shows:
march 4 - foxing (maybe. i've already seen em once but i still might go anyway.)

march 27 - acid mothers temple
march 30 - skating polly (maybe)
april 1 - shellac/mono
april 4 - yuck

gonna be a good spring.

seeing deerhunter tonight hell yeah
btw this deerhunter show was just all right. their approach to playing live was to make all their songs more upbeat and have more instrumentation. not really what i was hoping for from this band, but oh well. granted, doesn't help that their new album wasn't that great, just decent
Anyone seen Metric live? I'm considering going next month but I hear mixed things. akudood;
i saw them like almost 6 years ago. they were good, but not amazing. i'm not the biggest metric fan though, so that could have been a reason, and my girlfriend at the time was being a real bitch, so that also could have been another reason
i saw this band called Dr. Amazon and they had this 80 year old woman who sang and played bass. It was kind of cool til they played a song called chacha and then later in the set she kept asking when they were going to play chacha. The music didnt do much for me, it was six people playing as much as they could without listening to what any of their bandmates were playing, but there were cool moments.
also my friend played before and I almost missed him. He shouted into his mic and looped a bunch until the last song which had some cool keyboard shit going on.
I missed the one band I wanted to see http://seacharms.bandcamp.com/

Saw Titus Andronicus with Craig Finn tonight on a whim.
A good buddy of mine is interning at a recording studio and helped set up Craig for a radio acoustic set. As a result, he got put on the guest list +1, so last minute he shot me an invitation. Craig was pretty cool, but Titus Andronicus were fucking great. Awesome energy. I'd absolute recommend seeing them live.
i've had two chances to see titus andronicus and i've passed up both. i do like them but idk
I barely even knew them and I loved it so
i saw titus for like 5 bucks in a church when i was 17 and it made me into the lil punk i am today happydood;
M83 tickets arrived in the mail thumbup;

Kinda with Kaz on this but I also don't want to go deaf then again I don't go to tons of concerts and I don't listen to music for long periods hardly ever these days, generally things are fairly quiet
yeah i mean i go to shows like 3 times a week, so it's becoming a noticeable issue for me,especially now that i'm going to a lot more punk/hardcore/noise shows than i used to, but if you're only going like a few times or less a month, than fuck it GO HAM HOMIE
i'm going to dc like next month for a day trip and then leaving for a concert ~_^

Saw them in 2013 at Coachella with original lineup playing all of their s/t (plus b-sides and American Music). Was pretty amazing, and they were joined by the sax player from The Stooges' Fun House.
This time, they have a new drummer again (although his kit is literally a weber grill), and are playing more of a mix of stuff I assume, so I don't know if it'll be as good.
m83 tomorrow!!!
oh yeah i went to some Damaged City Fest events this weekend. as always, i start looking up bands after the fact and get sad I missed them. saw Post Teens from FL who were REALLY cool and also Power was real good and saw some friends bands which were cool.
saw david gilmour going to see david cross. so good

yeah!
They didnt have a drummer this go around either. They showed the documentary about them before the show. The doc was very good but i dont think an hour and a half film is the best way to warm up the audience. They showed clips of prior tours from the 80s/90s and I thought to myself "damn this is going to be a god damn circus". It was a keyboard player, a guitarist, and the singer Ralph. They had a weird orb on a pedestal behind them that would play little vignettes here and there. Ralph has to be 70 something now and we pretty much just yelled and danced around (which im fine with but all the loops and his dancing made every song have the same feel.)
idk im also not familiar with their music, I had a few friends that went as well and they really enjoyed it.
Also Geno lives in Portland too I wonder if he went.

Wow, it's crazy that you guys live here! Maybe I've ran into you at concerts in the past. I live in Hillsboro now but will be moving to the city (most likely NW) in a couple months because it's boring here.
Interesting that they played the doc. Clinton Theater was showing it last Tuesday, and I almost went, but ended up busy. Otherwise, that sounds pretty similar to the show I saw a few years back. No orb, but a lot of inflatable Christmas decorations. Ralph wore a Santa suit.

Saw Napalm Death, Melvins, and Melt-Banana last night. Fucking amazing show, one of the best I've ever been go. Great sets from all three bands. Great crowd too, during the Napalm Death set it was a constant pit and as a result I'm sore all over and it's wonderful.

Sweet, seeing this next week!
btw i shook ichiro's hand after the show he's neat. i guess he only stuck around because he was selling melt-banana merch but yeah
oh yeah i saw Empire Empire's last show (in DC) last weekend and then the next day i saw The World Is for the 2nd time. Into it Over it was headlining and i've never really cared for him but i stuck around for a couple songs and it didnt change my mind so i went home to smoke a doobie doodella;
When I saw The World Is, they were pretty boring. Great band, but on stage they just went up under dimmed lights, played their set, and left. No interaction with the audience, no live quirks to any songs, not even a single change to the lighting. And no energy at all, they just stood still pretty much the whole time.
Pretty big difference from their opening bands TTNG and Foxing.
At a show rn ... ON A BOAT?
Beach Slang blew my ears out last night and now I'm deaf.
boris is playing here tonight, skylark is going but i have no money lol
i really wanna see boris again

wanted to see them for ages and i did not think it would happen in bangkok! way more stoked for this than the edm fest on friday lol
ratatat was cool
me too. i've listened to them so much and i'm glad they didn't disappoint. they did a good job playing a good mix of classics and new stuff. the lead guitarist was quite the showman which i wasn't really expecting either lol

So do we want to just get okay spots with a general admission ticket, or do we want to get good floor seats? They're $20 each, if we do that one of us should buy them all and we can pay that person back, that way we all sit together.
the Joyce Manor show tonight was incredible
yep, crying and the hotelier.
i like that they've kinda kept changing. the debut album is still my favorite, but i also absolutely love never hungover again. cody and of all things are both really solid too.
Brand New tonight was amazing. Front Bottoms set was good too. don't care too much about Modern Baseball but they were all right.
anyway seeing Beach Slang on Friday. acoustic set. should be neat.
nice! just an fyi, on this tour they're playing all of Devil and God. at my show they played their new single first, then four songs from Deja Entendu, then the rest of the set was the entirety of Devil and God
not a single song from Daisy :(
Daisy is my favorite BN album

imo the devil and god is probably the best starting point of reference for the band, and if you're more into emo/pop punk than to look backwards in their catalog (chronologically), and if you like the weirder stuff then to check out daisy. basically if u're into 'real music' than daisy/TDAGARIM is the way to go and if u like fun music then YFW and deja are the way to go.
imo daisy is trying too hard to be weird and deep and the older stuff to me comes off as more genuine and is more enjoyable/relatable to me. TDAGARIM is a good middle ground between fun and 'real music'
i mean, i've heard enough of their stuff and know enough about the band to know what the ~consensus~ is. I'll give their albums a spin one day.
Fishbone next week, hope I don't get crowdsurfed to death.
The Orwells on Friday. It'll be my third time seeing them. They put on great shows.
The Dillinger Escape Plan on the 16th. Last time I saw them I couldn't meet them, and it'll probably be even harder at this venue. I just want to be like "hi i put your songs in rock band thanks for the opportunity you guys rule"
Saw the Flaming Lips almost a month ago but damn it was wonderful
i saw atmosphere 2day
Went to Dillinger last night and my back still hurts it was great.
Also, everyone should listen to Bent Knee because holy shit

i also really, really wanna go to Riot Fest in Chicago this year. but it's so fucking expensive uuuughhh. but it's gonna have so many bands i wanna see. Queens of the Stone Age, Jawbreaker, Beach Slang, Bad Brains, Adolescents, FIDLAR, Dinosaur Jr., Built to Spill, Streetlight Manifesto, The Hotelier, Menzingers, Real Friends, and some other stuff i wouldn't mind seeing too like MIA, Wu-Tang, Knuckle Puck, and Smith St. Band
[spoiler](http://media.nbcchicago.com/images/1200*1855/2017-admat-11x17-poster.jpg)[/spoiler]
i may also do Warped this year, mostly for Adolescents, Anti-Flag, and Neck Deep. lots of stuff there i don't care about, but Warped isn't that expensive tbh and i've got people to go with so itll probably be fun

god hell yeah i've been so addicted to Beach Slang ever since i first saw them (well, him. it was just James) last year. btw, James said they're doing a headlining tour this fall! so if all goes well, before this year is over i'll have seen them 4 times!!

Yep, they're just one of those bands that just pull you into their cult completely. I've been obsessed since their first EP came out. I've seen them three times too - almost four, but I had to leave town to go to a funeral.
That's cool that you got to see one of the Quiet Slang shows, although it sucks that those had to happen. Glad they didn't really break up.
I'm really excited for the headlining tour! Most people at the Minus the Bear show were clearly not into it, which sucked. On the other hand, you could really tell who was there just for Beach Slang.
it was the same at the MtB show i went to. most of the crowd just didn't care about Beach Slang. i think i was the single biggest Slang fan in the crowd lol
It's so weird. I can't imagine how anyone could see Beach Slang and not have the absolute best time.
i've never listened to beach slang until i read your posts right now and tbh listening to them just makes me wish i was listening to diarrhea planet
anyway I got tix for CHON/Tera Melos/Covet/Little Tybee in June and I'm stoked for that. Might see Mutoid Man w/ Helms Alee in a few weeks too
diarrhea planet's good too

i don't really see the connection, tbh beach slang is more like a 90s alternative band with an emo/pop-punk influence
but diarrhea planet, idk, have you heard the stuff they've made since they got bigger? i really don't think it's that good. they were better when they were just making goofy punk EPs.
i have, and i'm still into it
i'm not saying they're the same i'm just saying that's how i felt maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
Yeah I agree with Shinobu's assessment. Beach Slang is more indebted to The Replacements and Jawbreaker, while Diarrhea Planet just seems more straightforward. I've only listened to Turn to Gold though.
Anyway I recommend listening to Beach Slang chronologically. They don't really evolve much, but those first two EPs are unfuckwithable.

no coincidence that James loves both The Replacements and Jawbreaker lol. and The Pixies. he loves to cover songs by all of them at shows. at the Quiet Slang show i saw, he did Where Is My Mind?, Alex Chilton, and Chesterfield King. this last time i saw them as a band, Where is My Mind? was once again covered, and James played a tiny snippet of Alex Chilton again
I saw American Football tonight. Great show. Honestly the new record isn't that great, but thankfully they didn't just play that. They played nearly all of both of their albums actually. I may have cried a little bit when they finished the show with "Never Meant." They were baby's first emo band for me, way back in the day. Steal introduced me to them, actually.
Sounds like me and kaz are planning to see Mew in August.
I'm excited

i wasn't as much a fan of the new record either, but i only gave it one spin
it did grow on me a little bit on my second listen forward, but it's still only decent overall. pretty disappointing really, compared to their 1999 fucking masterpiece
also i'm now officially going to riot fest this september

Dino Jr is worth seeing twice
jesus man
sasquatch on friday. highlights are bonobo and lcd soundsystem and probably tons of ppl i dont know about
Mountain Goats show in Madison last night was absolutely amazing. Here's the setlist:
(https://puu.sh/wFSNp/aab3fde289.png)
Absolute best moments were the sheer energy of The Goats and the crowd during This Year, Foreign Object, Up the Wolves, and Heel Turn 2. But I was also super happy that they played my favorite tracks from Get Lonely, an album I really adore.
Damn that's a lot of recent stuff.
Until I am whole is like they're worst song lol.
Maybe it's hard to work in the older stuff since the mtn goats are a four piece now. Also crazy they didn't play no children! But glad to hear there was energy for some of the newer songs. I really wish I saw them when they toured behind Beat the Champ. That's a damn fine album I love it to death.
mr mountain goats has the same guitar strap as me true story
how is the mouse pointer in that screenshot
i'm not sure actually
anyway Jeff Rosenstock tomorrow!!! hype!!!!!

i was also surprised that they didn't include No Children, but it's all right because there was tons of other great stuff played. and yeah i don't think JD likes playing stuff older than Tallahassee because that was the first "full band" album
also, i honestly think Transcendental Youth is a pretty mediocre album. i'm not sure if i would say Until I Am Whole is as bad as you say it is, but it's definitely not very good lol. either way, when they played it live, there was no vocoder use.

...............lmao i interpreted that as corey taylor
Riot Fest was wonderful. The Death From Above, Real Friends, Beach Slang, FIDLAR, Cap'n Jazz, and Jawbreaker sets were all so fucking good.
Was also fun seeing Streetlight Manifesto, Four Year Strong, Pennywise, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Regrettes, Paramore, State Champs, Dino Jr., Queens of the Stone Age, Knuckle Puck, New Found Glory, and State Champs.
Despite me loving Dino Jr. a lot, after having seen them twice now, I can honestly say that I can never get all that excited about seeing them live. Idk. Combination of uninterested J Mascis and uninterested crowd, so I can't get hyped. But I still had to dance and sing along to favorites like In a Jar and Little Fury Things
also i saw a good chunk of the Prophets of Rage set while waiting for Jawbreaker, and i can't honestly say if i like them? the new material is pretty lame tbh. but it was hype hearing RATM and Audioslave covers. and i guess Cypress Hill covers but i dont know them
I was dumb and waited until the last day to try to get the Riot Fest shirt I wanted. Cause it was sold out all day. All I bought was a Jawbreaker shirt, since I didn't already have one.
We were also dumb to bother paying for parking at all that first day. Waste of $30. The next two days, we just found street parking a couple blocks down. It wasn't even hard, we could have parked even closer if we wanted.
HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: the fucking great pits at the FIDLAR, Capn Jazz, and Real Friends shows. also, crowdsurfing at the Fidlar and RF shows. meeting one of the members of Kitten Forever, whose set i didnt see but i figured it was ok because they're a local Minneapolis band anyway, and they said i should come see them soon in October at a local venue. THE ENTIRE JAWBREAKER SET. FUCK. i fucking cried lmao
also i learned i hate driving in chicago

Wasn't in the pit, but was up close and/or pit adjacent for a lot of stuff. Of what you've mentioned, DFA, Beach Slang, Dino Jr, QotSA.
so last night i saw Modest Mouse. and the night before last, i saw Broken Social Scene. wrench;

nice nice and nice
i can't imagine what an Igorrr show would even be like
i saw him (or them if you see them as a band) in germany and it was p.mazing, very fun
and that was a festival set, i can’t wait to see what a full set is like
edit: you may have meant on a technical standpoint lol so
in germany you had him doing the bleep bloops and he was with two vocalists, one guy who does growls and one girl who does opera-style vocals
and judging from videos on youtube he also has a drummer for full sets
That sounds fuckin neat

Saw Pilini play with some other solo artists. God Plini makes awesome music.
I feel like Plini, Sithu Aye, and Polyphia are the triforce of shitpost-tier prog.
idk if that makes sense to anyone else

well haken is My Favorite Band Right Now,, and leprous isn't too far down my list of favorite bands either so of course the opener i barely know is gonna get overshadowed lol
but i remember listening to land animal and really digging it
i never miss openers, so i'll be sure to see them too
edit: by land animal i mean the album, didn't realize there was a s/t track

damn echo i didn't know you like so many of the same bands i do
i'm also definitely seeing Joyce Manor, it'll be my third time seeing them. i saw remo drive open for jeff rosenstock once, they were great!!! and they're very popular here in minneapolis as they're a local band that only just really took off in the past couple years. lots of people have talked to me about them when i wear my remo drive shirt.
i saw foxing open for twiabp once they're great, honestly enjoyed them more than twiabp lol
unfortunately it doesn't look like tigers jaw is playing in the twin cities this year, it's all right though i'm happy i got to see them last year
i just saw waxahatchee a couple months ago, GREAT show

yeah i'm just bustin your balls. do you boyo
i saw radiohead in philly last week they brought the boogie
oh yeah i accidentally saw radiohead too
i hate it when that happens
idk I had a good time
saw AJJ and Kimya Dawson tonight
kimya dawson fuckin' blows. AJJ was pretty fun though.
kind of an impulse buy but i also like a lot of his music and the reviews for this particular tour make it sound like quite the experience

Anyway I just got back from seeing Mitski. Incredible show.
I saw black midi and they were FUCKIN GREAT

dude that is sick
thinking about seeing them at the gorge this summer
i saw jawbreaker and they were real good but blake schwarzenbach sure seemed kind of annoyed to be there lol
Quote from: C.Mongler on April 04, 2019, 09:29:49 AMi saw jawbreaker and they were real good but blake schwarzenbach sure seemed kind of annoyed to be there lol
seeing jawbreaker live is still one of the highlights of my show-attending life tbh. i'm super glad they're still doing shows.
Quote from: Mando Pandango on April 03, 2019, 10:06:30 PMI saw black midi and they were FUCKIN GREAT
To elaborate:
Seeing this show felt like I was witnessing something on the cutting edge of the Punk Sphere that's gonna be something really cool very soon and I'm really excited to see whatever that happens to be. Nobody in this band looked old enough to drink and they are making truly refreshing art.
CHECK THEM OUT
Also Kal Marks opened and they were really cool too
https://youtu.be/GwxBx6ZD6b4
i love kal marks, universal care was one of the low key bests of 2018
Possible show schedule through October thus far
May 5 - PUP
May 17 - Mountain Goats
May 25 - Mudhoney
June 1 - Sleep
June 3 - Laura Stevenson
June 14 - Father John Misty
June 24 - Earth
August 14 - Violent Femmes
October 2 - Mac DeMarco
i bought tickets to see bill callahan in june
"Mudhoney was never an important band" --cool slightly older dude I talked to for a while after the Daughters show
that dude is RIGHT
i saw bob mould
Quote from: Mando Pandango on April 05, 2019, 07:28:15 PM"Mudhoney was never an important band" --cool slightly older dude I talked to for a while after the Daughters show
i've got no idea if they were all that "influential" or not, he could be right. either way i like their old stuff
the show is a definite "maybe" though, i'm not exactly a big fan

The Touch Me I'm Sick single was basically the first grunge song and had a ton of local Seattle influence, but beyond that, a lot of their influence may have just been right place/right time. IIRC their chapter in Our Band Could Be Your Life was really more about the pre-grunge Seattle scene, and it was almost as much about the Meat Puppets as Mudhoney.
reading this thread kind of inspired me to look for shows coming up.
Kero Kero Bonito is playing soon. I can't say I'm a fan but I've heard Popsi mention them a bunch so I might go to that.
Nitzer Ebb is playing in September. I bought one of their cd's from a Pawn Shop in eastern NC when I was like 16. I want to go but it's so far in advance idk if I'll go.
There's also the Pickathon festival that has a lineup that I'm interested in this year. (https://pickathon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/pt19-lineup_poster-11x17FINALFINAL-1-663x1024.jpg)
I've never been to an outdoor music festival and I might as well go while they're still a thing.
Don't gamble on KKB. You could easily hate them. Check them out first

coming back to this again
took the 31st off, got my ticket paid for and printed, wasnt actually much, like $19.
venue seems actually kool
was listening to the two local bands' stuff that are gonna be playing
im so fucking down for this holy shit seems like some chill stuff happening, looks like im going to be enjoying more than ttng
man im actually happy a band i find out online and like is near me lmao, and man i cant believe ive been so oblivious to chicago's scene
seein the Mountain Goats on Friday!
I'm actually here llmao man I'm really stoked
Damn lol I'm so fucking down for this
Recently I've slightly turned around my life, got a good relationship with my job even if I hate the work (my dept. would be in shambles w/out me), did some prime ass art recently, and been saving great. I'm happy, and finishing the mspaint man makes me feel like I just got done with finals and just celebrating now.
In all honesty, despite enjoying things alone for the most part, kinda wish I knew someone that knew ttng and loved em so I could talk to someone here abt my hype LMAO.

wrench;
i hereby declare that if your concert gets the kax seal of approval, you will be honored with the best time of your life
Man LMAO that was the BEST SHIT EVER
ok so uh where do i BEGIN
so the local bands were ok and mostly chill for what it was, floatie was ok, then actually was getting sleepier the more monobody i heard. good bands but lol ok i needed to wake up now pls LMAO. been there since 8 and they started at like 9:45pm. not a bad wait though.
but after ttng came on the stage, i uncharacteristically WOOO'D and usually i headbang in my room bc i get ashamed of expressing myself LMAO, but i did it all here and was so fucking stoked. but yeah some guy touched my hair and said it felt so smooth damn hell yeah gotta get on that tea tree oil conditioner grind. man there were def girls that had their unenthusiastic bfs there. mfw im checking out their bfs, but lmao on the side im so hype i make small convo with one of their gfs and she also knows the lyrics to these songs too damn lol im singing along with everyone as well holy HELL what an experience. ppl in the middle of the room were prob in the mood as much as me, that's where the real action was. and then my hydroflask apparently hit someone in the balls LMAO RIP. in the end got 3 full length vids of some of my favorites. phone at 6%
it was probably the best experience ive ever had at a concert
man i dont know if ill ever feel like this way again
crowd was great but still a buncha stiffs around, lmao y r they near front if theyre gonna be stumps?????
and also i knew the lyrics (ok truthfully 60% overall) to their songs, and love them to death
aside from dfa, i dont know who else id be like this with.
this may be the first and last concert ill ever feel like this again
they also mentioned this will be their last time touring around like this? tfw
post-concert, well, so it's like 11:20pm this time around
i actually have an hour to catch the LAST train back to the subs at 12:40
but i really wanted to make this night worth even more
so i go on an i-spy mission to get everyone who performed onstage to autograph my ticket, even the 5th guy who did the trumpet for elk and another song
i find chris and henry at their merch table, i get chris' but i felt bad asking him if i could get henry's since i was in a huge ass rush but he said he had to get the line going, so i go to henry's line, and he signs and chris also gives his farewells :3
then i find stuart at the stage, he signs it, thanks me for oming, and im giddy. But, mentioned still gotta get tim. he checks backstage for me, but he's gone. so he tells me to look around and that he could still be around. it's 11:40, but ehh im not too concerned. i found the trumpet guy, garret (lmao called him darren/derrick in the stage bc i cant hear for shiet) who ttng was hyping up and actually played, so i get his. he actually looked at my ticket and was astonished how i pretty much have everyone...but tim. but actually, he was right beside him. so he tells me i could tap on his shoulder since he's chill, and i do. and then i get his
im putting this fuckin ticket and the pen they all used, in a frame or smth
man, all 5 who performed. hell yeah
https://i.imgur.com/F4YIejz.jpg
near the end of it, from the blue line to now just walking downtown slightly blind, i nearly got lost untl i realized i fked up with directions. didn't rely on phone since i was at 2%. so i just dug in memory for it. but i get there at like 12:25am so had some time to spare and lol came home at like 1:50AM.
THE END
11/10 CONCERT
Everything that day went so smooth in the end.
awesome that they hung around to talk with the crowd/sign stuff. always great when artists do that.
I just saw Lionel Richie lol
He was pretty good, still got a lot of energy in them ol bones
I saw Bill Callahan a few weeks ago and it was the shittiest crowd I've ever been a part of. There was an opener who had a lovely voice but she was really quiet and the crowd wasn't accomodating. To make matters worse, all the people who skipped the opener (fuck you people) came in at her last few songs so it just kept getting louder and louder. Turns out the lady was Bill's old friend and I think that pissed him off. Most of his set ended up being some free flowing improvisation/jamming. Drover is a great song but no one has asked for a 12 minute version of it. Or a fifteen minute version of The Beast.
One woman kept yelling at Bill in between songs. Which was annoying but lead to some funny banter
"I'VE WAITED TEN YEARS TO SEE YOU!"
"...lady I tour every couple years. Were the records not good enough?"
"I HAD KIDS"
"Yeah, me too"
another one:
"I LOVE YOU BILL"
"I love you too...if your name is Hanly"
"IT'S MICHELLE!"
"Turns out I don't love you"
but then that lady yelled out "PLAY A HIT" and kinda soured the mood.
When I was in Asheville I saw this band called TOPS and they were pretty good. Kinda throwback 80's pop band from Montreal.

i miss live music :(
Same
Also kaz I want a do-over with you visiting for a concert
that'd be neat but for that kind of trip to be worth it it'd have to be more than just one show tbh n_u
i was supposed to go and see a live orchestra back in april but then everything was cancelled, i was super looking forward to it too... saddood;
i was supposed to go to new york in late may and caligula's horse were touring at the same time so i was going to see them there, it would have been cool :(

yeah i'd be down if a good opportunity presented itself
i'd probably also try to see other boyagers in such a trip
corey and strongdavid are around here too n_u
