The Concerts Thread

[origami_mustache]

From Belgium.

We're From Barcelona was a huge hit over here, while Of Montreal still goes by unnoticed.

oooh cool that makes sense then.

I've seen em 5 times, and 4 of those times they were awesome.

One time they played for over 3 hours - it was incredible.

Dean and Gene are awesome musicians and performers.

Yeah, I'm super excited to go to that concert, I've seen them twice now, the first time sucked cause it was at a festival in foresty God-knows-where town in Utah and the tech people took forever trying to figure out the wiring, finally Ween got on thinking they were going to do a hour and a half set, after 30 minutes the staff of the event told them their time was up so they got angry and started smashing things. I got away with a drumstick and my other friend got away with a mic stand. It sucked not because of Ween but the event organizers. It was still cool though to see Ween brake anything they could see.

The second time was pure bliss.

oooh cool that makes sense then.

We're also one of the few countries where Editors are really popular.

Such a strange country.

I saw Mark Kozelek last night, he was awesome.

Although I was a bit disappointed, he didn't play any Red House Painters' songs.

It was the first time I've seen him that he didn't play Michael. I wanted to hear that song so bad.

Oh well.

David Bazan (Pedro the Lion) opened, and he was awesome. It's so nice to hear religious themed lyrics without irony and without being overtly "Christian," or possessing all the negative qualities of "Christian" rock. I really admire this guy. I am looking forward to his new solo album.

There are like no good shows coming up in Sydney. Most promising thing is The Breeders... in August. Fucking hell.

NYC just looks brighter an option by the day.

The hardest concession I made when I decided to go to Bonnaroo was that I would have to cut back on shows in the near future. Luckily there are a lot of awesome free shows this summer.

You should totally move out here!

[Boner M]

You should totally move out here!

Srsly considering.

[Sven]

Srsly considering.

If you do, I'll TOTALLY give you rape, er... rep.

[Thirdmango]

If you do, I'll TOTALLY give you rape, er... rep.

Now I have even more to look forward to!

[Acapelli]

Srsly considering.

Sonic Youth/The Feelies. July 4th. Free.

[Boner M]

Sonic Youth/The Feelies. July 4th. Free.

I'm going to Halifax in July... might make a stop over again.

[Sven]

Oh, and, um... I'm TOTALLY going to Steely Dan in June!! Hooray!

[Acapelli]

So would Earth/Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter be worth breaking off my momentary ban on paying for shows?

[origami_mustache]

might go to Fuck Buttons and Caribou next week, but I spent so damn much on Coachella tickets :frustrated:

What an odd pairing.

I saw Pete Francis (Formerly of Dispatch) and The Greyboy All Stars last night. Pete was okay but not my cup of tea. But Greyboy was on fire, pure jazz and funk all night. Awesome.

I might go see The National down in Pontiac. Not sure. I'm actually not much of a fan of concerts anymore. I used to be, used to go to 10-15 a year for the better part of 10 years. Somewhere along the line I lost my love.

I saw them tonight along with Grizzly Bear. They put on a pretty good show, not great. I was really far from the stage though, so I may have missed out on some of the energy. Grizzly Bear was much more subdued. I felt like at a venue half as big they could have been great.

[EvilShoe]

When I saw the National, I also felt they put on a good/worthwhile show. Nothing mindblowing, but worth going to.

[dreamdead]

ritch:

Oh my. Boris and Wolves in the Throne Room will be touring together in July. Apparently, Torche will also be supporting, but I need to research them a lot more before determining their quality.

[EvilShoe]

Won't be going to Of Montreal after all. I really don't care for the other bands that are performing, and they're the reason the tickets cost more than usually. It's also likely it'll be a short gig.

Instead I'll be seeing:

• Mount Eerie (supporting act: No Kids)
• Fleet Foxes + Beach House
