come on now...
last week i saw Public Enemy at a small club here in Lausanne. my buddy and fellow maggot Geo039 got pulled onstage for an MC open mike during the show. fantastic show, my first time seeing PE and they rocked it out.
Next up Karma To Burn last Thursday night...rocked out a tiny warehouse club with about 30 people there. Awesome.
Next up...HELMET on Dec 1st. Same tiny club as K2burn.
Killer shows, Ripz! I plan on seeing Karma to Burn in early December when they come to D.C. with The Sword and Mount Carmel.
Was supposed to catch Social Distortion this past weekend in Baltimore, but Mike Ness came down with the flu and the show was postponed. Fortunately the two openers, Frank Turner and Lucero, decided to play anyway and absolutely killed it. If you get a chance check these guys out for sure.
Frank Turner played first and got the crowd fired up then Lucero slowed things down a bit (they can rip, but seem to really shine with the slow numbers), but Frank came back for a solo encore with a rendition of Thunder Road that would have brought a tear to the Boss' eye.
seeing the Bronx thursday
A day or two after Seattle The Sword canceled the rest of their tour due to a lineup CF = drummer quit. CrapQuote:

Lots of great shows this year but my 3 favorite have been Thom Yorke at the Santa Barbara Bowl (right against the rail, crazy day and night), Miike Snow at Urban Lounge (sub 300 people) and Sufjan Stevens at Kingsbury Hall. I wish I could go back in time to all 3.
Tomorrow Ladytron plays in SLC. Blonde Redhead is in town in a couple of weeks too. It's been a good year for music.
karma to burn was the opening band for that tour (at least in yurp) but fortunately continued their tour on without the sword. kinda sad for k2burn coz they were only packing in 30-50 people per show. k2burn is probably the best band i've discovered this year. amazing that they have flown under my radar for so long. a bit of trivia: the singer/guitarist daniel davies is the son of the kink's guitarist dave davies.Quote:

Already posted this, but you have a chance to see Roger Waters, definitely check it out and bring some happy pills. It will likely be the most visually stimulating show you see this year and probably in a while. My brother saw Muse in Newark back in the end of October and couldn't say enough awesome things about their performance.
Saw Pelican a couple of weeks ago. Rawked. Sucks it sounds like they're done touring. Next up is Killing Joke in early December.

It will probably be in heavy rotation this winter.
Saw them earlier in Detroit Oct 21 and Social Distortion kills it. It was my 3rd time seeing them and they have just gotten better with age. They always get such a cool crowd together that gets a good vibe going. This was the set list which was pretty damn good. Gotta love So far away one of my favs.Quote:

FYI. Next up for me will be Interpol at the showbox sodo on January 28th. Great venue. Grab ticks if its your thing.
I just got back to Maui after seeing Thievery Corporation and Massive attack at the Greek theater in Berkeley.
Wow. Great Venue, amazing vibe. Both bands different and both killed it. The 4 different singers for TC, the horns, that chic lulu singing in french, mind bending drugs, hundreds of smiling x-ing gorgeous little sweethearts....omg.
THEN massive attack, cranked in up, 2 drummers, another rad chic singing, then the old dread that sings 4-5 songs KILLED it. I managed to get off 1-2 decent pics.
First-rate entertainment.

That just took me WAY back.
Ripping bingers on their couch as they jammed was the norm.
You sir are correct. He is a scion of Jamaican reggae music and has been with Massive attack since 1990.Quote:

You should. Iceman and I saw them here in DC last month. Great show.Quote:

Hold Steady tonight in SLC!
I saw Gorillaz on 10-30 in Oracle Arena, Oakland. Best show I have ever been too! Anyone thats a Gorillaz fan should go to the nearest show.

Not my Vid, but same show.
Dang forgot about that, saw them at Urban lounge a couple of years back, loved the show. Saw Ghostface last monday at Urban Lounge, awesome.Quote:

creates a cloud of your tracked bands and any related bands coming to your preferred location. not perfect but pretty cool. it would be great if i could upload all my artists from my music collection in one shot.
Saw Mumford and Son last night. They were AMAZING!!! I would highly advise checking them out, but their US tour ends in a week, so if you are not in eastern canada or NYC, you're probably out of luck. Very, very good show!

a new liver in Gregg and ready to rock!
^^^It won't play
i saw helmet on wednesday night @ amalgame club in yverdon. we were at the tail end of a big snowstorm so there were only about 50 people there, which kinda sucked for them but for us it was cool coz you could go get a beer and walk right back to front row. i really enjoyed their sound and energy live.
my buddy and i got picked to run the "fan cams" which kinda sucked in the end coz it's a bit of work. they had these little polaroid cams that looked kinda like flip cams, which means you have to hold it in your hand the whole time. we did what we could including a few shennanigans on camera. hopefully they find something useful.

Wow, my area gets shit for shows (i've known this well before this thread). I'm dieing to see The Hold Steady.
Last show for me was Matt Skiba (Alkaline Trio) and Brendan Kelley (Lawerence Arms) doing solo acoustic sets. 3 show mini tour, my friend theorized that they did it this way to make some extra cash for the holidays (no band, no crew, etc)
BK was incredibly fucked up and played like shit, but made lots of funny jokes. Had a drink with him after his set, nice guy and he had me laughing.
Skiba was slightly more sober and played a much better set, plus kept bringing BK on stage for comic relief.
I'm somewhere in the back of this crowd, drunekdly singing along with "Radio".
In the last year I have attended:
-Empire of the Sun (best show of my life)
-Deadmau5 2x (puts on an amazing show)
-Sasquatch Music Festival: (LCD Soundsystem, Kid Cudi, Miike Snow, Deadmau5, MGMT, A-trak, Boys noize, Neon Indian, Band of Horses, etc)
-Rusko (not the biggest fan of his music, but the energy at his shows is nuts)
and I'm seeing Bassnectar on Feb 5th and Crystal Castles on March 8th. So stoked for these 2 shows.
I know my list is ridiculously short, but every show was qualityyyy.
Saw Yo La Tengo on Friday Night. They did a weird "Wheel of Fortune" thing where they had themes all over this wheel and pulled some hipster douche from the audience (he tripped on his scarf) to spin. It landed on "Sounds of Science Pt. 2" which basically meant the whole first set was feedback and crappy looping electronics. It was awful - felt like what Ross did on "Friends."
Luckily the second set was chock full of groove. I do want that 1st hour back, tho.
i just saw that yo la tengo is playing in missoula! a whole set of feeback-y noise sounds kinda weird, but i think i have to go
Maybe you'll get lucky and have the wheel land on one of the other 7 slots... :(
haha, kind of what i am hoping. i like some of their studio experiments with blips and bloops and feedback, but a full set of just noise sounds like a lot to handle
These guys are touring again right now. Don't miss them.
North Mississippi Allstars
^^saw them last night as the opener for the Band Of Joy in Boston. Robert wears shiny gold cowboy boots and that is Patty Griffin on the right. Best show I've seen in awhile.
Reno will be rockin' big time this weekend.
Friday night, Motorhead will be in town!
Sunday, Ozzy rolls in with Slash as the opener!
