I am wrestling with the notions of seeing Cheap Trick, Kraftwerk, and Cypress Hill in the coming months.
I have seen CT and CH before, though the latter is song a show with the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra, which could be cool.
I was supposed to see KW back in 2020, but that didn’t happen due to COVID.
Just bought Kraftwerk tix for Portland. Never seen them live.
Pixies in Tokyo has my attention and there's a chance I may actually be there then.
I've never caught a show in a foreign country (CAN and MX don't count), so I think it'd be pretty awesome. Only thing that would be better was if Kim was part of the gang playing.
Went to see New Jazz Underground at Dazzle last week. Talented trio of young musicians right there.
Picked up tix for KNEECAP @ The Independent in San Francisco this coming October 28.
First time I have ever bought tix this far out in advance.
They had two shows and the first sold out in a few hours.
Mulling over CHEAP TRICK on V-Day as well as CYPRESS HILL w/RENO PHILHARMONIC in April and KRAFTWERK, also in April.
These are a bit closer to home what with being down the hill in Reno.
Also just noticed LARKIN POE are playing down the other side of the hill in Grass Valley in April, as well…
Cheap Trick played Hardly Strictly a couple years back and can still jam. Although I missed Bunny and Rick can’t hold the five neck for very long now

Mars Volta w/Deftones tour

Meatdrink9 has lined up Modest Mouse and Khruangbin as the first two acts announced for Ogden Twilight this summer, batting .1000 thus far!
Cheap Trick cancelled their Reno date last Friday due to weather.
Me’n Vets are headed to Kraftwerk (if they don’t cancel) in April.
Still eyeing Cypress Hill in April and just learned Buckethead is playing in Crystal Bay this week…
We have tix for KW and CH. Buckethead at CB would be tight but I am headed down to Mammoth in a few minutes.
Looks like I am going to BH @ CBC with TheFrush tonight…
I can't decide if I like or dislike Khruangbin.Quote:

Got Modest Mouse tix for Dillon Amphitheater, not their biggest fan but looking forward to it. Also seeing Ministry at Mission ball room. Debating Metallica at mile high for one or two nights. Would be fun to see Pantera or Limp Bizkit too.
If MM plays their OG shit from mid nineties you'll love it. They got pretty meh in the 2000sQuote:

I caught a couple of cool shows in Boulder the last week. First up was MJ Lenderman. I've always liked his guitar work (love Wednesday) but his voice kinda bugged me. Was fantastic live and I got over the voice issue. [emoji1] The band was interesting, each had a unique style. Will definitely see him again, but probably be in a bigger venue next time.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2f08cd443e.jpg

Next was Pokey LaFarge. I've always liked his old timey sound and was curious what the crowd and band would be like. When we got there the bouncer told us we were the youngest people in the venue (we are mid 50s). Definitely a lot of grey hairs, but a younger crowd filled in when the headliner started.
I was a little surprised at how dynamic Pokey and his band were (considering his recorded music is pretty mellow)! They put on a great show, Pokey is a true entertainer and the band sounded much bigger than a 5 piece. The live show played to the younger audience, but the older folks were eating it up as well. Great show!

I thought about this show, but aren't they playing their first record? Light electo-pop before they found their heavier sound?Quote:

Ministry is playing stuff from With Sympathy, Twitch, and the Wax Trax years. I saw their set of this material at Cruel World last year, and it was highly enjoyable if that era of early Ministry appeals to you. If you're looking for the later more metal sounding stuff, it's pretty different. (Say, Filth Pig and later.)Quote:

MM is ok. I lived in WA back when they were first getting popular in that region I guess. They were a band you could listen to with some chicks and not totally hate. Kinda like Death Cab, who was also from that region. Some chick I dated burned me a CD with both bands on it and built to spill. I liked Built to Spill the most.
Anyway. Yeah, ministry will be their old stuff. Cool with me. Never been a massive fan of them either but their more metal stuff is definitely what I listen to while rallying through the woods on my dirtbike. Fun fact: Al Jourgensen used to live in Breckenridge growing up.
Chuck Prophet was my favorite show so far this winter, hes still on tour I think. Very worthwhile and a lot of fun.
I've got tickets for a few things the next few months: Elephant Revival at the mission ballroom next month, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings in June at Chautauqua, and Rhiannon Giddens at Chautauqua in July.
