Originally posted by sweetcell:sorry -- been busy all day! but youll be happy to know for all of a few seconds i thought of you and what youd be missing. the presets were just brilliant. its hard to realize how just 2 guys can make music so f'ing great. the drummer is quite cool - plays some of the stuff standing up and plays keyboards on a few songs. the lead singer is just awesome. he was wearing this bright neon pink jacket with a shirt with lip prints on it (all in hot pink). under the lights it looked glowing. When he wasnt playing the keyboards he was dancing up a storm.
Xneverwherex, how where the Presets last night? i 'm very curious. . .
Originally posted by BookerT:The Wacos rocked the house last night, as they always do. A good career-retrospective setlist, plenty of political witticisms & hilarious commentary from Langford and some fine revved-up boozy covers for the encore. You shoulda gone.
did anybody make it out to see the waco brothers last night?
i just went to the presets myspace page, they sound like the worst band in the world.

I rarely go out, yet whenever there's a couple shows I want to see...they end up being on the same night. So, on the 2nd, I can't decide between going to see The Warlocks/Black Angels vs. Bella Morte/16 Volt. The problem with seeing Warlocks/BA is that I have never been to R&R, and I've been told not to go there alone. This is a problem.
I'm stuck.

I've been to a lot of shady places by myself but I'm trying to be better with that, as I've had some bad experiences this year, soooo...I am turning into a bit of a tiny wussy girl.
Plus deciding between which show I want to see. The last time I saw the Warlocks, years and years ago, I walked out cause I thought they sucked. However I saw Bella Morte recently and though I'm not crazy about the music, they RAWKED.

Times New Viking.
If I were in town this weekend I would not miss Mission of Burma or Burning Brides. The former are simply one of the great underrated bands of all time. The latter always put on a great show - even if they are almost exclusively playing material from their disappointing last album.

Anyway, wow, there were definitely some changes I made to what I posted a week ago. I missed St. Vincent and the Brazilian Girls, went to Beth Orton instead of Bon Jovi, and apparently I made the right decision, cause Bon Jovi suuuuuuucked. Also, the Breeders/Whip/Matt and Kim show today at McCarren Pool was one of my favorite shows of the year. Top ten, definitely.

Did anyone see Oneida tonight? If so, did you leave more confused than you've ever been while leaving a show? I sure did.
Originally posted by azaghal1981:
From the way they were playing and interacting with each other between songs, it felt like they were trying to dick around with/frustrate the crowd for the entirety of their set. Last I checked, yes they do a lot of improvisational stuff but they never came off to me as a jamband. There's a fine line between the two. This shit they played last night sounded like something you'd hear at the state theatre. There was even one moment between songs where one of them said "I was trying to explain what we sounded like to this guy earlier tonight. I made a big mistake by not telling him that we sound like a jamband...like Widespread Panic or something." It just felt like a running joke between the band the whole time they were up there. Yeah it was funny but at the same time, it was frustrating and confusing as hell. I thought maybe we'd hear a chunk of Preteen Weaponry (their new, mostly improvised but interesting album) and some older stuff but this was all unreleased material (none of it was anything I'd heard, anyway) that sounded like it was purposefully played badly. It ended with this drums/keyboards duel that went absolutely nowhere for 15-20 minutes.
Originally posted by azaghal1981:If I make it to the show and stay for them - Ill gladly post a review. Read your review, so am curious about what I'll see. Im not familiar with their music at all and have no expectations - but its free and cant go wrong there!

As my friend asked, "Would it kill him to have a band?" and "How does the drum know when to come in like that?"
I'm fine with a band using little blips and bleeps from a laptop, but when the lead guitar part or the drums aren't being played by a human (and there's a second person on stage doing nothing but banging a cymbal and singing backing vocals, and two roadies sitting on the side of the stage doing nothing...can't they be in the band?), it's rather diconcerting to watch.
But the Eddie Vedder crowd he won over seemed to eat it right up.

I gotta say that looping drives me nuts in 80% of shows where I see it. A live show should be about what the band can produce together on-stage in real-time. Having canned guitar parts is cheating -- if you need another guitar, get another guitarist. Or, figure out a way to play the song without the tapes. I remember a Stereophonics show a few years ago where almost all of the most interesting guitar parts, including some of the solos, were totally canned and the singer/guitarist was just playing strum rhythms. That's weak.

Their music is fine, and some songs are quite fun and catchy but overall, if I never saw them again Id be quite fine with that.

Also looking for Fleet Foxes ticket. I've decided Glasvegas blows.

Of Montreal pissed me off last time with their sloppy playing/heavy reliance on pre-recorded samples as Kevin played dressup the last time I saw them. I'll stick to the studio work, thankyouverymuch.
Miss P, *possibly* Hot Chip? Does this mean you could have a ticket to part with?
Originally posted by azaghal1981:i normally don't show early for first acts, but the presense of hot chip will force me to be there after doors open. i hope growing is worth it.

Originally posted by sweetcell:so bummed i had to miss late of the pier at CMJ. have been wanting to see them for awhile now. hopefully theyll be coming back here soon.
soulwax in philly was really good... and kinda weird. they had the world series on the giant screen behind the stage, and originally the idea was to start the show at mindnight, after the game should have been over. but with the 1.5 hour rain delay, teams where still deep in play by the time Late of the Pier took the stage - who insisted on keeping the game on behind them, much to the approval of the crowd. good band, would definitely check them out again. soulwax came on and also asked that the game be projected behind them, saying they'd provide the soundtrack. soulwax cimented their spot in my opinion as the best live+electronic dance act. not as mind-blowing as coachella but a ton of fun. the place went ape-shit when the phillies won, predictably enough. played for an hour, took a break, then came back for a 2manyDJs set (joe, i think you had left - silly boy). the DJ set was only ok, although that MGMT remix of theirs really kicks on a big sound system.

I will not bore you with the details of my life on the campaign, but suffice to say it has been the most memorable experience of my life. It's an experience that cannot be matched and we are reminded that we are in a sort of limbo everyday now that it's all over.

Oops. B/c of the holiday, I forgot about the Von Bondies were playing on Tuesday. Yesterday, I thought they were playing. Anyhow, didn't make it. Heard the turnout was a little low, and now they are wondering if others were mixed up from the holiday too.
As amazing as just about everyone who saw the DC show said it was. Beautiful, powerful performance. Sound was perfect. String arrangements were excellent. An all around awesome and fantastic performance.
I agree, that was tremendous. Perfect sound quality, great venue, the band sounded unbelievable. REALLY impressed with how they arranged the violins, cellos and various other instruments. And that voice! It's even more amazing live than it is on record. From a purely musical perspective, it was one of the best shows I've seen in years. Every song was epic, he really is a musical giant, and it was close to perfect.
The only negative, and god hell what a negative, was that stage banter. Holy shit Antony, you're going to seriously cripple this magical musical vibe you got going with that 6th-grade-schoolgirl schtick of "I just... umm..... well, y'know.... why don't we just be women.... and like... y'know... I'm sorry" It was so painful, and when he kept interupting the song to further blather on incoherently, I was dying.
Night 2 we saw Bjork, Isabella Rosselini, St. Vincent, Willem Dafoe, Joan Wasser, and one of those great fashion designer guys that I don't know the name of. Maybe Marc Jacobs or something, but he looked like shit. Oh, and Ilan from Top Chef was there.
azag: if it's any consolation, ixkpd-bk had to hang with me before and after the show. almost as bad as a DBT train wreck :)As amazing as just about everyone who saw the DC show said it was. Beautiful, powerful performance. Sound was perfect. String arrangements were excellent. An all around awesome and fantastic performance.
what azaghal (and ixkpd-bk, and many others) said. wow.I agree, that was tremendous. Perfect sound quality, great venue, the band sounded unbelievable. REALLY impressed with how they arranged the violins, cellos and various other instruments. And that voice! It's even more amazing live than it is on record. From a purely musical perspective, it was one of the best shows I've seen in years. Every song was epic, he really is a musical giant, and it was close to perfect.
The only negative, and god hell what a negative, was that stage banter. Holy shit Antony, you're going to seriously cripple this magical musical vibe you got going with that 6th-grade-schoolgirl schtick of "I just... umm..... well, y'know.... why don't we just be women.... and like... y'know... I'm sorry" It was so painful, and when he kept interupting the song to further blather on incoherently, I was dying.
what relaxer said, including about the awkward banter. he pulled out an old t-shirt and a painted tile from a purple purse (!) and said that he was going to give them away, sorta like door prizes. first there was an awkward moment as he figured out how to award the prizes, then he started disparaging the two prizes and said that no one really wants them, that they were trash, even though lamers in the crowd obviously wanted them. if they are trash, why did you bring it up? so embarrassing.
although he did tell the funniest joke i've heard all week: "so they polled all 50 states to see which on they wanted to fall in to the ocean. 49 states voted for new york, and one voted for new jersey" :D :D :DNight 2 we saw Bjork, Isabella Rosselini, St. Vincent, Willem Dafoe, Joan Wasser, and one of those great fashion designer guys that I don't know the name of. Maybe Marc Jacobs or something, but he looked like shit. Oh, and Ilan from Top Chef was there.
now you're making shit up. bjork was NOT there, you would have told me!

Jimmy Eat World was surprisingly very good last night...!
Highly recommended tonight: DRUG RUG at DC9. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
anybody know set times for tokyo police club tonight?
And if that doesn't work, come see Earthless with Joe, Relaxer, NKOTB and I.

Agreed... They are one band that have always put on a solid show, although they could have played a little long in the encores... Clarity is a good album but it's no "Bleed American", which I hope they play live in it's entirety when it reaches ten...
Earthless are only gonna play for 30 minutes :(
Joe = emo kid? ;)
i hope the show runs late cause i'd really like to see earthless. i'll be sure to stalk all you fine mens from afar ;)
I'd say no later than 10:30 pm.awesome. I was thinking it would be something like 10:30. I have to go straight from work and wanted to make sure i didnt miss anything or that I would have to stand around by myself waiting for a long time. I was guessing:anybody know set times for tokyo police club tonight?
wow, the douchiness of this board is through the roof today.
it's good to see that self-deprecating humor isn't lost on you. i guess that that puts it in the same category for you as informed debate.
oh, and you know that big, long button at the bottom of your keyboard? it's called a space bar. feel free to try it out - after commas might be a good place to start.

Saturday: Ani DiFranco @ 930

Can i ask a question that everyone else might already know the answer to? Where do you actually live, and how are you able to pretty regularly go to NYC and DC shows mid-week and on back to back days? Do you have a job? Considering the volume of shows, I'm assuming you must...Last night's Grizzly Bear show was MINDBLOWING.

BUT, Prodigy is that night! Do the Prodigy show after PJ!
Re: Chinatown buses
I honestly don't think it's listed on their websites online, but they ALWAYS have buses constantly running from Allen St. I don't know how the tourists and foreigners know about those late night buses, but they do.
plants and animals tonight
did you make it out to this? how was it? i shouldn't have been a snow pussy, but living in d.c. for a while will do that to ya.
There's another option called MVP Bus that actually stops in downtown Baltimore that has wifi and tables, near North/Charles St., which goes directly to NY for $18, I think. It might be $20 now. Still a hell of a lot cheaper than Amtrak, and way more accommodating than Greyhound.
MVP bus IS the Chinatown bus Apex. www.apexbus.com or www.mvpbus.com

Here is the Megabus (http://www.megabus.com/us/schedules/baltimore_newyork.php) option site which would probably be my best option out of White Marsh. The other two only list a stop on Charles St. in downtown Baltimore. Though not really all that far for me (about the same as White Marsh), there would then still be the problem of finding a convenient and affordable place to park my car. Only problem with Megabus is that the last bus out of NYC is at 11:59PM which means that it would be best for me to make a whole night of it and then plan to catch the 6:45AM bus out first thing in the morning.
jag: can't you park your car at white marsh mall for free?!?
Hang with the right people and four late-night hours can seem to just FLY by...;)
Hang with the right people and four late-night hours can seem to just FLY by...;)
Exactly my thinking! ;) Besides, it's NYC. There's always something open; be it an afterhours, a coffee shop or what not. It's those early hours between 7AM-10AM that I've always found NYC streets to be almost strangely empty short of those off to work.
Not a problem at all. I have a place in both DC and NYC, but as of late, I've been leaning more towards being more in Brooklyn. I work, albeit freelance, I do work. In terms of how I get to and from DC, I generally use Megabus, Boltbus, or the dreaded chinatown bus (it's super frequent!). I know people who also go to mid-week shows in other cities and STILL go to work the next day, it's not as uncommon as you might think.

tonight I will be at Rams Head to see Hollywood Undead. I am kind of interested to witness this atrocity.

BTW... I finally dug up the e-mail in question, and information on the series is here:rest of the week: meeting french directors and seeing french films at the french film festival.Is this in D.C.? Do you have a link?
I think I got an e-mail about it the other week from the Maison Française, but couldn't read it (my work blocks all of Yahoo Mail except the preview pane), and then I forgot to look at it at home...
Anyone know if Longwave is any good?I saw them when they first came out and I did not like them. They might've gotten better, but I'm planning on showing up after their set.
Have to disagree with Julian. Always thought their music was okay. Not great but not bad. Then I saw them do a couple songs last summer when they opened for Swervedriver at the 9:30 Club and was pleasantly surprised. Much better live than I had expected. Not blown away but very much enjoyed them and wouldn't mind seeing them live again. Maybe he's right about them getting better. Due to attending a party beforehand, I missed their entire set and was very sorry to have missed the early part because I really enjoyed what I did catch.
Thurs: Asobi Seksu @ Bowery BallroomEnjoy the show. They were excellent at the Ottobar.

Then, thinking of Cloud Cult/Ice Palace/M&NSS's - will this sell out?I see they moved it to the main stage. The last CC show wasnt crowded at all. Not sure about Margots draw... So maybe. I wouldnt risk it if you really want to see them.

Did you see her complete set before heading over to the 9:30 for Sebastien Tellier?
I saw her at Bohemian Caverns last year and really enjoyed her show, but the cover -- already steep last year -- was even steeper this time around, so I decided to forgo it.
Yay. Called, BC, "should be fine" to purchase at door.Then, thinking of Cloud Cult/Ice Palace/M&NSS's - will this sell out?I see they moved it to the main stage. The last CC show wasnt crowded at all. Not sure about Margots draw... So maybe. I wouldnt risk it if you really want to see them.
the dead, tues (verizon) and wed (jpj)
let's see if dso is finally better than them or not, like i hear people say.
how was the cloud cult show?Very good. I didnt see any of the openers, but Cloud Cult were great as always. They played a set featuring songs from across their back catalouge. Only had one painter this time. Sound was great, the best i have heard them sound, though i have only seen them at their last Rock and Roll Hotel and Black Cat gigs before this one.
Also, the place was packed at the end of Margots set (when i walked in). I got towards the front to watch CC. by the time i headed towards the back, at the end of the show, the place was half empty...
that's understandable since Margot > Cloud Cult.My math works out the exact opposite with Cloud Cult > Margot (in musical output and not based upon who is more popular). But thats just my taste. I will say i do kind of wish i would have came a little earlier. Margots last two songs sounded really good and i wouldnt have minded seeing a little more.
the dead, tues (verizon) and wed (jpj)
let's see if dso is finally better than them or not, like i hear people say.
fo' mah walkies: Bring Out Your Dead (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/12/arts/music/12ratl.html).
let's be honest -- they both kinda suck. well, if not suck, are boring.
No one seeing Great Lake Swimmers tonite at the Black Cat (backstage)? I'm surprised they're playing backstage. They're playing much larger venues elsewhere. No wonder it sold out in advance. RnRH might have been a better venue.
I like their new album, but hey, you can't see every show, unless you're Joe.

i don't like this tour thing anymore, i think. get home at three, in bed and asleep by something or other after falling victim to a evening of countless bars, dinner at a nice benito box joint, and then many ingested jestables while smiling wide toward the dead on stage again. 45 minute dark star . . . are you kidding me? tipper gore on drums during encore?! wavy gravy on side stage the entire night playing air guitar with his "mojo staff." beer lines not all that bad. but the kids next to me progessively got stinkier as the night went on. oh well. the scent of endless mary jane covered it well. now i can say that i like phil. he's ok by my books . . . and he even gets the nod for the donor rap. but warren's singing ruins everything; just stick to your hands of magic. eclectic crowd of all ages, all levels of boredom to enriched excitement from the ones retelling the tales of first shows and how many from the past attended where they know "venue,date,setlist,ticket price." oh and those naughty nitrous tanks out front of the verizon. a sea of pink and purple balloons. pretty, silly tripping hippies. and on to the next show tonight. maybe i do still like this tour thing, though i feel old after every one.
That Ladytron show tonight was a C, or a B- at best. Loved Crocodiles though.
The Faint was high energy and fun, but seriously every song sounded the same. I hate that.
Off to LA, today!

Teddy Thompson at Iota (think he'll go on at 10?)
Someone at Iota told me 10 or 10:15. That usually means 10:30 at the earliest.
This show is solo acoustic I'm on the fence...much prefer he had his band with him.

solo acoustic at iota on saturday night is a recipe for disaster. the crowd chatter could be out of control and overwhelming.I agree Iota is one of the worst for crowd chatter. One can hope it can be one of those Sat. nights that is dead b/c of "date night" or nice weather. (thx Charlie for the confirm and yeah, I thought start at 9 really means 9:30...)Someone at Iota told me 10 or 10:15. That usually means 10:30 at the earliest.

there is parking nearby. its right by the charles theatre and Penn Station (too bad the Marc trains don't run late). There is a parking garage about 1/2 a block north of Metro Gallery. and a good Tapas place across the street.

B) his endless bank account
C) his flexible work schedule
D) his energy
and E) his apparent lack of a life -- at least one that doesn't involve music
It's not like this epic week is really all that different from a normal one of seeing shows all week in DC, NYC and Philly. I know there is some sort of flexible job option, and two homes, and that apparent million dollars in the bank, but i have come to avoid this thread simply to not be shocked/made jealous/annoyed every week, in that order. Nothing personal meant by this ixpd-bk, it just, i dunno, bugs me for some reason. In the same way all those rich kids on Gossp Girl do...

good god! that's awesome, when do you work?
I love how this question pops up every couple weeks or so.
I'm not surprised. Every time i see ixkpd-bk's schedule i am amazed by
A) his love for music
B) his endless bank account
C) his flexible work schedule
D) his energy
and E) his apparent lack of a life -- at least one that doesn't involve music
It's not like this epic week is really all that different from a normal one of seeing shows all week in DC, NYC and Philly. I know there is some sort of flexible job option, and two homes, and that apparent million dollars in the bank, but i have come to avoid this thread simply to not be shocked/made jealous/annoyed every week, in that order. Nothing personal meant by this ixpd-bk, it just, i dunno, bugs me for some reason. In the same way all those rich kids on Gossp Girl do...
It's cool! None taken, really.
And I do understand most of your amazement, apart from E.
I surround myself with amazing people, I managed to get a degree at a decent school, and I'm making things work in my life where I can do something I love (that I choose not to disclose on a public forum) and be happy doing it. :)
Also: The reason this week is so epic for me is because I'm seeing a band that means a lot to me with people that mean a lot to me. Not to mention, Kelley Polar, a guy who's album was my favorite last year, who played all of ONCE in the US in 2008, is opening for their NYC show. Sounds like a winner!
I noticed that Imperial China show yesterday.
Still yet to see them, too.
Wonder if Sharon Jones->that->Lady Sovereign would be doable.
And Nobody asked you anyway.
what is fisherspooner like in concert.worth going to?

tuesday: the roots @ highline ballroom, NYC - unconfirmed special guest, among others: lady sovereign (the roots have a weekly residency at the highline ballroom called "the jam", where they are the house band and various artists join them on stage to, well, jam. went 2 weeks ago a Booker T sat in on the first half of the show! HIGHLY recommended if you're in NYC during the week. tix only $10, but buy in advance - shows always sell out).
The Junior Boys did their thing tonight at the Black Cat.
That was a good show. The sound at the BC seems to bother me more and more every time I go there, though.
Sharon Jones and her merry band of soulsters torn the house down last night!

dan deacon...worth it or not?
i know nothing about his music, but i'm off on sunday.
Sweetcell, come see St. Vincent with me!!!!!
Maybe The Points instead of Liechtenstein.
Still debating...
And hey, tonight I just laid low and didn't do much of anything!

according to their myspace (http://www.myspace.com/torturedsoul), they played at the black cat on may 15th - anyone make that show?
yes, i'm lightly obsessed with this band.
Anyone know if Lorelei was dropped from the bill tonight at VL?
what's everyone doing on the holiday weekend? I see some going to shows on Sat.
most going to Nat'l on Sun/Mon then?

Sunday - Marty and Sacha (The Morning After Girls) @ Living Room
and Jag - EJ rocks! He has got to be the nicest, greatest, coolest guy ever :) And Marty was equally cool, but there was something pretty awesome about EJ. Ill prob be seeing him again on Sunday night hanging out with him at the show. Ive now been labeled one of their biggest fans since Ive been promoting their shows out here and said I'd help out with selling merch if they needed it.

Yeah, EJ is one great guy. I like him a whole lot. He's also one Hell of a musician, both musically and on the technical side of things. Always has some good insight and/or helpful pointers for the geeks. You should also check out his other bands, Highspire and House Of Fire. Think you personally might prefer House Of Fire because it's more Dandy's sounding. (Not to be confused with all of those other House/Of/On/Fire bands. I've already gotten on him about that! LOL.) Both of his other bands are very good.
Please tell him I said 'hello' the next time you see him...and to get The Morning After Girls down this way soon! Hey, I'd be happy with seeing House Of Fire or Highspire but the Highspire thing isn't going to happen. Oh, and tell him that you heard from Jaguar that the word around is that 'he's so fey'. It's an inside joke from a long time ago we have from something I found and told him about. He'll laugh.
saturday: NIN & Jane's Addiction & Street Sweeper @ PNC Bank Center, Holmden, NJ
sunday: Phish @ Susquehanna Bank Center, Camden, NJ
had tickets to see TVotR on friday at summerstage but decided to pass on the show... too much else going on, need at least one day/evening of productivity. new york on a friday night is a huge hassle for me, especially since i'd have a suitcase in tow. grumble grumble.
you're seeing phish? somehow i didn't think they were your cup of mushroom tea.
he wants to be bored.
you're seeing phish? somehow i didn't think they were your cup of mushroom tea.

Tonight: NINJA in Philly (front row...woo-hoo!)
Boobies can make anything this side of a DMB show tolerable.
just saw NINJA....No contest who the real band is. It was an off night for Trent, weird setlist too. Jane's, on the other hand, was all meat and potatoes. Eric Avery is the most underrated musician. Hands down one of the all-time great rock bands.
JA setlist:
Tonight at The Independent.

Again, no "I Would for you..." Bummer.
That Janes Addiction setlist is exactly what you'd expect, it's basically their Greatest Hits CD minus Just Because and the aforementioned I Would For You...
That NIN setlist, though, is interesting. Lots of songs I didn't think they'd play/I've never seen. Not the hit-fest one would assume. Still would love them to do Perfect Drug or And All That Could Have Been live.
I like their live sound (mostly because of Sitek's "less is more" approach). But yeah, their material is still rearranged live. Great show tonight except for that song "Family Tree" which sucked all the energy out of the room. Slow, plotting ballads aren't TVOTR's strong suit.I thought "Family Tree" was actually a highlight. Not a big fan of that song on the album but the live arrangement was great.
glad i ended up at the decemberists last night too. it was a good show from start to finish and seeing hazards played through live helped the album's cause... also, going in with lower expectations since i wasn't totally sold on this last album.
another highlight was them not playing the mariner's revenge.
nice seeing ixpd + j. marshmallow, as always. ;D
another highlight was them not playing the mariner's revenge.So with you on that...I don't need to see that song acted out anymore, ever again.
^You doing A&M tonight?
I'm glad her fans are short...i could see over most of their heads..hahah
:D

Fri - Josh Ritter & The NY Pops - SummerstageHow was this show?
Friday - New York Dolls (maybe)
Saturday - Frodus!
Sunday - Phoenix
Fri - Josh Ritter & The NY Pops - SummerstageHow was this show?
Also, anyone have comments from Doves' show?
I cant say Im someone who knows Josh Ritter, only by name (and maybe a song). But I knew this would be quite awesome. I worked the VIP area (for guests of summerstage, typically), but the conductor of the pops ended up having some friends up there. So I got to hear a bit about what was going on and how it went (which prob added some 'cool' factor for me). The conductor kept saying how this would be an awesome 90 min set but it seemed louder than anything he was ever used to. And he had said they hadnt practiced too much so it would be interesting.
It started out with just the pops playing before Josh Ritter came on stage and then it was incredibly awesome. The crowd was seated most the time early on, and then one of his bigger songs came on and everyone got up and was singing and dancing along. The night held out (ie no rain - which hasnt happened much this June) and it turned out to be perfect. He dedicated a song to his parents who were there celebrating their 40th anniversary. He played a song with a poet from NYC. And there was also a song he played with a violinist, Hilary Hahn, who was playing at Town Hall later in the week. She was really great.
And the encore - well it just made my night. He introduced the person joining him onstage as the first person to ever take a chance on him and then out came Glen Hansard. Simply brilliant! The song was Come and Find me.
Setlist:
Best for the Best
Other Side
Rumors
Wolves
Girl in the War
Temptation of Adam
Thin Blue Flame (w/ Hilary Hahn)
To the Dogs or Whoever
Monster Ballads
Edge of the World (w/ poem by Mark Strand)
Bone of Song
Right Moves
Kathleen
Come and Find Me (w/ Glen Hansard)

(sorry for all the questions, I'm living vicariously right now. Plus, there is so much chatter about shows before they happen and often not as much after - which is what I mostly want to know about - the show(s). If you don't or are too shy to review / comment, grading is fine. Thanks!)

Ouch... a year ago today, you were called a bitch on here and now this?
Ok before you start making assumptions on what I did heres the deal. Someone said theyd pay xyz $$ for a ticket. I told them I had a ticket and would sell them for what they wanted to pay. Its insanely hard to get a ticket to the show and I would never try and sell it for that value. But if someone is offering why should I not help them out.Hutch, he just torched your ass, bitch! He torched it!
But youre right - in this economic downturn in NYC I should have thougth of them first and told them i will only sell for face. Btw - you dont have a clue what I paid and what I sold. So dont be so quick to assume that I ripped someone off. And good money to me, might not be good money to you.

Metric seem worth breaking my gig drought - their album is still my favorite of 2009
"Help, I'm Alive" is so damn repetitious. Next time I'll count the number of times she says "beating like a hammer". I'm sure about 50.Metric seem worth breaking my gig drought - their album is still my favorite of 2009

Torched? She's admitted to being a scalper!The line was an inside-joke/famous line from messageboard's past. It was not intended to actually state an opinion on the matter. My apologies.

I'm tempted to go to Polvo on saturday now.
a big letdown last time, why?.I'm tempted to go to Polvo on saturday now.
Not really. They nailed everything they played.
Maybe it was a big letdown for those who had just found out about their existence the week prior and weren't familiar with their material (yes, I stole this post from the nkotb book of Joe digs).a big letdown last time, why?.I'm tempted to go to Polvo on saturday now.

Sat Aug 1 Clyde's Chevy Chase
The Stoners, tributo alla più grande Rock'n'Roll Band del mondo, The Rolling Stones, sono guidati dal cantante Domenico Scola (italo-americano proveniente da Haddon Heights, NJ) e da musicisti italiani. Il lineup per il tour di quest'anno comprende: Ugo Moretti, Maurizio Galanti, Tonino Grossi, Vincenzo Montalto, e da Philadelphia, PA - Dan Rendine.
Is it me or was that Fleet Foxes show bland and generic (early)? They're one of those bands that if you've seen once, you've seen all of what they have to offer, I guess. On the other hand, both Espers sets killed. New stuff has me looking forward to the October release. FF are in desperate need of new material and more vocal range.
What I caught of the Xavier Rudd set was a steaming pile of crap. I remember him being a cool novelty solo act but now he's put some awful generic jamband together. Lost my patience after roughly half an hour.
Run for cover was fun. Blondie, Weezer (Rivers impression was spot on!) and Cure cover bands were all really good.
This week:
Mogwai
Elbow
Girls
Kid Cudi/88 Keys
Skygreen Leopards
Mos Def
Girls are opening for Los Campesinos at the 930 ... early show, nkotb...
ELBOW

That's all that needs to be said about tonight.
I'm tempted to go to Polvo on saturday now.Was that in D.C.?
i have the worst luck with mogwai. everytime i don't end up going to see them, they end up playing mfmk.
:-\
I'm going to Elbow tonight.Hey, that was pretty cool when Elbow's lead singer gave a shout out to the DJ. Nice job, indeed, Brennser!
Brennser, I was glad to learn that you're DJing for this one!
:)
Elbow = great show
Elbow = great showAgreed!
Jesca Hoop, on the other hand...
They really are terrific. I would've liked a few older songs (Fugitive Motel, Any Day Now), but no complaints here.
Jesca Hoop, on the other hand...
Jesca Hoop, on the other hand...
Yeah, can someone explain to me why the audience loved her so much?
For a lot of folks in the audience, this seemed like there second or third show ever, the way they were looking around the 9:30 Club, so maybe it was just the shock of seeing live music...
And way to go on the Djing Brennser...
Yeah, can someone explain to me why the audience loved her so much?
Mos Def went on only half an hour late and killed it; too bad I only caught the 2nd half of the show due to standing through that
letdown of a Skygreen set.
I'm going to the Pretenders.
I hope Cat Power has improved a lot since the last time I saw her (2001 or 2002 in Argentina) she seemed to have a nervous breakdown...
TRASH CAN SINATRAS tonite at RnR Hotel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got nothing against TCS btw
Prediction: very sparsely attended show.
Prediction 2: last ever TCS show in DC.
bat for lashes was pretty damn impressive but would have been even better without the incessant chatter. the missus took it upon herself to shush a few folks - instant entertainment right there. BfL's set was a tad over 60 minutes, which include the 5 minutes of clapping before the encore - a bit on the short side. openers, "other lives" were alright but nothing special. their tired pacific northwest hippie look was borderline annoying.
Damn...how'd Joe and I miss you?
I could've had the pleasure of complaining about BFL to you in person. :)
Trash Can Sinatras started rough. Lots of feedback during the first three songs, but eventually they pulled it off. Great to hear the older songs...not so sure about the new songs...
I enjoyed Bat For Lashes immensely ;D great band backing her up esp. the drummer. So into her more danceable songs than the slow ones.
this week: Dungen/Woods at Ottobar, Breeders at Black Cat...anything else I'm missing?
No, it was Wye Oak here.Oh, that's weird. I know they were doing co-headlining in Richmond and Carrboro. Hmm.
Question: Does The Amps show sometime like ten years ago at the 930 count as a Breeders show?
Question: Does The Amps show sometime like ten years ago at the 930 count as a Breeders show?
did the amps play 9:30? pretty sure it was black cat. there was a breeders show at 930 sometime in 1997, i think the openers were jonathan fire*eater, brendan benson and lutefisk. but that was a while ago, i could be wrong.

No I do not believe there was a Breeders show at the 930 in 1997. ..that was probably the Amps show I was referring to...
I say this because I was a huge Breeders fan at the time and I dont' recall them playing.. I thought it was Kim and Kelley with the Amps
Again I could be wrong.. my mom threw away my ticket stubs when i left them with her so I cannot be sure.........
Anyone go to to the Budos Band show tonight?I would've gone to the Budos Band show on Thurs. 8/13 if I hadn't had a gig of my own that night.
We haven't talked about how much the OLP show sucked yet. So much of the older material was played so sloppily, it was offensive.
And on top of that, Raine decided to take much of the night off; staying quiet for as much as half a song at a time while he had the audience sing the lyrics. Joe, you suck just as much for going to Dungen/Woods.
And back to the subject of future shows, I think I'll go to Chuck Brown.

sweetcell - what did you think of the show? all i know is - ive never heard so many people talk in the front throughout an entire show that i spent way too much money on. more embarrassing - half the front didnt even know the words to 'west end girls'. was a total FAIL on the sing along.
Is anyone going to the David Bazan house show tonight?
Slickee Boys @ The Black Cat on Friday! WOOHOO!

hey huth, did you check out mister gordon? i had to attend a work related function until midnight and couldn't make it and was bitching under my breathe all night about how i couldn't believe i was there instead of . . . there.
Anyone go to Yo La Tengo last night?I was there and thoroughly enjoyed the show. Really creative band. And let me just say that the staff at the 9:30 Club are definitely The Best. You know who you are. Thank you!

fri: moby... maybeDid you end up going?
I had the misfortune of seeing Passion Pit at the Monolith Festival two weekends ago. I felt like I was watching High School The Musical: My freshman year at college. They were awful but the kids age 18-24 seemed to love it. I quite enjoyed this review of them from the Westword: "Wow, do people like Passion Pit. Lots of people. The entire upper area that makes up the SoCo stage was absolutely jam-packed with people, and every one of them seemed really excited for Passion Pit. For the life of me, I couldn't really see why. Some of the songs sounded incredibly retro, like they wouldn't be a bit out of place anchoring a John Hughes soundtrack. That wasn't necessarily a killer. No, the killer was the singer's heavy reliance on a caterwauling falsetto that was apparently supposed to communicate emotion and passion, but instead communicated "My Pants are too tight, and I may have injured my sack because of it." Based on fans' reactions, this band clearly inspires excitement, but the vocals seem to be a love/hate proposition, and for me, it was hate. "

Speaking of bands that pack a hell of a punch live, Mika Miko was a roundhouse kick to the face. They actually got a mosh pit going. I liked Strange Boys. Singers voice is not as grating as I thought it would be.

Are you really coming out?
Has anyone else seen that super awkward Ian/Kevin Shields interview on vice.tv? It was right after it was announced that MBV were finishing up the follow-up to Loveless.
Parts of that were excruciating.
I haven't seen it, but is it more awkward than the NPR/Sigur Ros interview?
;)

It's too bad I met Sweetcell last week otherwise we could meet up. I have a strict "meet no more than one boardie a month" policy...
Or do you have to wait 4.5 weeks after meeting a boardie before you can meet another one?

kylie minogue on sunday :D
my sister and I might be the only girls there. ha ha
(btw - what the f was up with the lineup for food yesterday? All the way back to the soundboard?)
Probably because someone posted that 9:30 menu link which got people interested.
The missus and I checked out Brandi Carlile on a whim last night. . Also, her songwriting is a tad bit amateurish (but she's only 28).
though I'm tempted to unload my ticket and go see Hope Sandoval.. I've always loved her voice and 6th and I would be great and less expensive.Hope sandoval also wouldn't be a glorified sucky wankfest like Them Crooked vultures.

what time should i expect ac/dc to go on stage and who's the opener, if they have one? i want to see black angels before heading over to mci.
what time should i expect ac/dc to go on stage and who's the opener, if they have one? i want to see black angels before heading over to mci.
The Answer is the opener. I have no idea when AC/DC is going on stage.
Six Organs played a very clean acoustic, John Fahey-esque kinda set, no distortion, no effects pedals, very awesome.
? you might be able to high-tail it to the club after AC/DC and catch most of the raveonettes.nope, was only interested in seeing the angels again. really enjoyed their set last night. saw raveonettes at the cat and that was enough.
P.S. Cali, I'm a guy.no idea why i thought you were a girl, sorry

Social D rocked Atlantic City, FYI. Wonderful crowd, and it's always appropriate to hit the slots before (and after) a Social D show. Here's the setlist...Thatguy, I totally thought of you. The Strangers were a terrific opening band too, loved 'em. Cannot wait until they come back through DC again.

i'm in SF this week, leaving on friday morning. i'll be coming here regularly for the next few months so i'd be most grateful for links to online concert calendars, clubs' websites that are worth keeping an eye on, etc. so far i've been checking pollstar's SF page (http://pollstar.com/resultsCity.aspx?ID=49955&SortBy=Date&SearchBy=san%20francisco), but we all know how reliable and comprehensive pollstar is...
wouldn't it be great if every city had a resource like our "just announced" thread... :)

Just think of how much better those three would have been if they didn't take place in a room that didn't sound like the inside of a brontosaurus' anus.
I've been wanting to see her for a while. Could've done her->Wooden Shjips easily. WTF was with the stupid fucking piece of shit Red and Black putting WS on in the middle of three bands? They were easily the most well-known band on that bill. Another dumb blunder brought to us by the idiots at H St.
Man, I was loving the line-up switch. I was beat from a wedding the previous day, so being home by 11:30 was aces in my book.

I offered to buy his groceries for him, but he refused my charity.

Uh, in Season 3, Episode 4, entitled "Every Man for Himself," we find out that Sawyer has fathered a child with Cassidy Phillips, the woman who was his long con in Season 2, Episode 13, entitled "The Long Con".

lucky you, I went last year and it was a blast. this year will be more insane since it's halloween weekend ;D

Saw the White Rabbits with Local Natives and Glass Ghost tonight at the El Rey in LA. It was one of the 10 best shows I've seen this year. Each band was exciting, engaging, and brought some of the best pop music of the year to a really (rare) enthusiastic LA crowd.

Heartless Bastards and The Newno 2 were both very good.

Unrelated: has there been any discussion about the 11/20 show by The Numbers Band at the Velvet?
wow, someone cares about the numbers band? and it's not BookerT or azaghal?
i'm really excited to be playing with the numbers band. these guys should have been bigger. their ohio shows are legendary.
relaxer, are you familiar with the styrenes? the classic cleveland art-punk band? i'm booking a tour for them in april.

Had not heard much of it honestly, but to be honest, it was less the music and more "the show." They went on late, all looked like a drunken or drugged out mess, spent five minutes between songs deciding what to play next, Edward kept telling people he wanted to make love to the whole room, each and every one of us...
I could go on, and this might be his thing every night, but it is not my thing. Way too hippy for me. And while the music ranged from eh to ok, I can't for the life of me understand why the show was sold-out and people knew the words to most of his songs.
how can u not enjoy a hippy show - they're funny. i love that he wanted to make love to the whole crowd. i bet your expression was priceless LOL
i caught royksopp in SF last week - great show, tons of fun, very bouncy and a great crowd. i wouldn't say it was "get on a bus/train/plan must-see" great, but damn solid. NYC'ers should definitely make an effort to catch it. the norwegian contingent was out in full force and you can imagine what a SF EDM show smells like once the band hit the stage. they played most of the new album and a good smattering of older stuff. not much of a stage show but still a lot of fun to dance to (video from a'dam: you haven't got a clue (http://vimeo.com/groups/royksopplive/videos/7601486))
i got in the show by way of an old-school deadhead-style miracle. TM showed tickets available up until noon day of show, but sold out just hours beforehand. i went to the venue as soon as the box office was supposed to be open, but it didn't - and i had more work to finish before the show so i left for the hotel. by the time i came back there were at least 30 people hanging around outside the venue looking for tickets. through the magic of pure luck, perseverance and the one-finger-in-the-air, i snagged one of the very few extras that showed up. my streak of getting in to any show i want remains intact.
Where are Sloan playing?Yup - they played to a half full mainstage at the Cat. They're at Jammin Java tonite. Ugh. See y'all there. By the way, the openers (Magneta Lane) are worth seeing. I believe their producer is Moe Berg (from The Pursuit of Happiness).
Didn't they play the Black Cat last time they were here?
Trying to decide between Sloan and DMST/Years/Charles Spearin on Tuesday. What the hell has happened to Sloan that makes them play a freaking coffee shop? (OK - it could be a few mediocre releases in the recent past). *sigh* Still, leaning towards Sloan simply because I can't tolerate the lack of public transportation options in the H St area.
But I will venture out there for Land of Talk at the RnR Hotel on Thursday. I thought their album "Some Are Lakes" was one of the best albums from last year. Elizabeth Powell is one hell of a guitar player.
If I were you, I'd see the Do Make Say Think show. Reviews have been very positive on their current tour.
I've only seen Sloan once over 10 years ago...I walked out. Maybe they've gotten better though...Trying to decide between Sloan and DMST/Years/Charles Spearin on Tuesday.

well? how was Sloan?Meh. I've seen MUCH better from them. Murphy's stage presence was toned down from previous shows. Might've been the venue but more likely a result of having his collarbone broken. Setlist consisted of "almost hits" and new stuff. Sparse crowd.
Sparse? Gah, sucks. Sounds like a few things were involved in the "meh" show.well? how was Sloan?Meh. I've seen MUCH better from them. Sparse crowd.
Anyone going to see Brendan Benson tonite? Any idea what the advance ticket sales were like for this one?
Brendan Benson: I asked at the box office, and it will def not sell out. I bought a ticket to make sure I get my ass to the club. Really enjoying his new album. It's a bit of a retread, but when it's good material, I don't mind much. He puts on a really solid show, so I'm looking forward to it. His tunes have Bags written all over them.
Me: Sorry for the long post; making up for not being around much. Hope all are well! ;)Don't apologize for that, Bags! I'd rather read real show reviews (especially by you) than another laundry list of shows that people are planning to see.
Yeah! No one really seems to detail anything after the show...Me: Sorry for the long post; making up for not being around much. Hope all are well! ;)Don't apologize for that, Bags!

any good shows next week? I don't see a single show I'd like to see.
a sunny day in glasgow is playing tonight at the red & black (with the young republic and the torches) ... no one fav venue, i know, but it's a damn fine band that might it worth the outing.
Screen Vinyl Image's show also features Nightmare Air, a band with members of Film School, who recently released a good EP.
Wow this thread fell a few pages. I guess the snow is keeping people from attending live music events.
Tonight:
Baltimore Bass Connection 6th Annual XMas Party with Spank Rock, Amanda Blank, Death Set, etc.
Roots tonight. I've only seen them once, and it was a shortened festival set. They were incredible, so I'm psyched for the 9:30 show tonight.
tonight: wet and reckless @ dc9
I will be DJing the Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings show! ;D

another great Gogol show last night ;D

their brand of polka pogo-moshing is fun, but was it any different from their previous shows? or more of the same? i've gotten a little bored with GB concerts. the first time i saw them they blew my mind, but it's been a case of "seen one show, you've seen 'em all".
Lost Tues
Alberta Cross Weds
Huh...no one going to see TSOOL at the Cat tonite? I saw them at SXSW a few years ago. They took the stage after the Black Keys and proceeded to blow them off the stage.
my experience with them is that they are a terrible live band. Like their first album but downhill after that.
may leave before SVI comes on (just too late for me)
Caspian tomorrow
hey bombay chutney, sounds of kaleidoscope are headlining on saturday and will probably go on around 12:30. i don't see them going on earlier than midnight at the earliest.
Scissor Sisters - Wed @ bowery ballroomLucky!
Is anyone else doing Air-oplane?
See what I did there?
Gonna be a long weeknight>workday.
If anyone cares, Rival Schools were great last night. They did an hour of old tunes, two new ones (69 Guns and Big Waves) and the Quicksand cover version of How Soon is Now. I have been a fan of Walter's since the early 90's, and it was awesome to finally see one of his bands perform live. The new record sounds like it is going to be good as well. Also he mentioned they should be back around for another show when the record drops in the summertime.

Saw some chatter in the DJ playlist thread for Anvil - curious thoughts on that show and any comments for Air?
Anybody have any comments on the Monday Spoon show?
Caught 8.5 songs. I thought they were really good...your thoughts?Anybody have any comments on the Monday Spoon show?

Friend of mine loved Deerhunter. It's likely telling that he largely went to see Deerhunter, not Spoon. Did anyone like them? I'd have to make some tough choices in order to get there to catch them (I also heard set times ran late last night -- oy, on a Monday/Tuesday).
Anyone going to see the XX at 6th and I this weekend? The inclusion of JJ makes it pretty compelling (didn't realize, however, that JJ is not playing the afternoon show, just the evening one). Sold out, but looks like there's plenty of tix on CL.
Maybe heading over tonight to Iota.I've forgotten that Iota is bar and chat room first, music room second. Lots of talking - I could barely hear the music.
Nada Surf Friday with by better half.I think I'm finally back on target after being away, then I remember Nada Surf this Friday.
At least the drummer will be older than me.
Wilco at the National last night was phenomenal. 36 songs, three hours. 15 songs I hadn't heard either of the other two times I've seen them.

Sorry dude but you picked the wrong time to get sick of Wilco. The show in Bethesda last night was 37 songs, and did include "nothing'severgonnastandinmyway(again)" and a killer mid-show acoustic set. That was probably my favorite of the roughly 20 times I've seen Wilco.

So much great metal in the area next week and the week after...

While I very much like Mastodon and Baroness, the no-brainer 4/20 Baltimore metal show of choice should be Ludicra/Krallice/Tombs, IMO.

You have a good point, but this is probably the last time to see Mastodon perform Crack the Skye in its entirety, and I missed the two other chances to catch that when it was here.
I like that I'll be seeing Baroness on the west coast on Friday and then on east coast just 4 days later.
Joe is.
I'll see them again when they play a room in DC that doesn't have a PA that sounds like a poorly encoded mp3. That 930 show was a lot of fun. Too bad there were less than 100 people there.
I've only seen liars once, when they opened for radiohead in camden in 2008, and frankly they blew chunks. Would have left if I could, but didn't want to lose my spot so I had to endure. Hopefully they've gotten better. Or maybe I caught them on one of their bad nights.
Thursday: Phoenix on MTV UnpluggedThis was awesome, even though it was a TV taping and they only played 6 songs, and most of them twice at that. The band members couldn't have been nicer afterwards, and I got a picture with Sofia Coppola!!

that's a shame. the three times i've seen them i was more then impressed, especially during their 2006(?) set at the blackcat which blew me away. their sound doesn't necessarily lend well to big pavilions but they still managed to grab the audiences attention at nissan and imo, they were great but to each his own. i'm still bummed out i missed their last show at the 9:30 club due to the ice storm. i only could imagine how they would've sounded on that stage :(
and i decided not to go tonight due to rnrh shitty pa.
-Sara Watkins possibly tonight
-Jakob Dylan Friday
-maybe the festival Sunday if I can manage to get down there amiss the crowd
-wanted to go to Frightened Rabbit, but sold out (only one time did we try and find tickets [outside the venue] to a sold out show at BC - how hard is it these days?)
Anyone headed downtown Sunday for the Earth Day Festival? (I tried to find where the original post began / the son of a commentary thread to ask questions...) Any chance set times for each artist is available somewhere? I check around, didn't see anything.
^^^ it rains on the earth day celebration every year.
- tuesday: Frightened Rabbit @ BC if my ticket materializes
The drummer they had last night didn't get near that level of technical ability or energy
Anyone going to see The Album Leaf tonight at RNR?
- tuesday: Frightened Rabbit @ BC if my ticket materializes
Let me know on this one. I have a ticket for next month...
the frightened rabbit show was quite good. it was the first time i'd seen them, and as a newish/casual FR fan, it was a treat hearing those midnight organ fight songs live. it was more than worth the effort and $18. enjoy the show! (wish i could muster a better review, but im workin on 2 hrs of sleep and i hate writing reviews.)
it will be worth it to me and the venue (for those bad at maths, I spent $98.40 on four tickets instead of $97.50 on three, and the venue will have one more drinker in the house). Just sayin....
Anyone going to see The Album Leaf tonight at RNR?
did you make it to this, hoya? if so, how was it?
i'm currently listening to the new album and kicking myself for not going to the show. i had plans, but i should have dropped them.
unfortunately that argument doesn't hold water... what if you were to give that ticket to a non-drinker/underage? no alcohol revenue, and no ticket revenue.
Spectrum/SVI - Thursday
is Spectrum with a band? anyone know?I looked around and couldnt find out either way. The Velvet show is the first of the tour, so maybe you could catch the Baltimore show on Friday if one of us reports back that he did or didnt have a band in tow at the Velvet show on Thursday.
if just him, then forget it.Spectrum/SVI - Thursday
going to Caribou tonight, should be fun
According to the Super Furry Animals fan group I'm a part of, Guto Pryce is playing bass on this US tour, so I imagine that means there will be a full band.is Spectrum with a band? anyone know?I looked around and couldnt find out either way.

Well done. I'm pretty surprised that the PiL show didn't sell out long ago. I guess Johnny over-estimated the need for their return (or should I say their return without Levine & Wobble).

You spurn my natural emotions.

no reviews of PiL?
how many people were there?
i wish i could be there just to see johnny forgotten throw a bitch fit at the size of the crowd.
I thought PiL were great as well. Not as good as the Coachella set, but still fantastic nonetheless. The band still seemed tight as can be, despite Lu being sick.
Jonny was pretty talkative as usual, and threw in a brief bit of political banter towards the middle of the set. He told us to "enjoy the Sun while we can, because it's the only thing they haven't put a tax on".
The average age of the crowd was pretty high - I'm 21 and the friend I brought along was 20, and we the youngest ones around for sure. Pretty mellow crowd for the most part, although it surprised me that towards the front in the center, a small mosh pit broke out during the encore.
here is a setlist:
This Is Not A Love Song
Poptones
Memories
Tie Me to the Length of That
Albatross
Death Disco
Flowers of Romance
USLS 1
Disappointed
Sun
Black Rubber Bags
Chant
Religion

How does a 21 year old afford tickets to Coachella and a $45 PIL ticket?Trust fund?

By working 20+ hours a week while in school and saving money. Coachella isn't all that expensive either, depending on where you stay.Aww... if you'd said trust fund we could've been friends. :(
Did anyone go see Corinne Bailey Rae last night?
Religion was indeed a highlight. As were Public Image, Tie Me to the Length of That, Poptones and Warrior. I did find myself getting bored during a few songs, too, however. USLS1 dragged a bit as did Sun. Betao, they also played Psychopath and Warrior which you didn't list.

Aforementioned Eluvium/Julianna Barwick show last night.
Simon Joyner at Paper Sun Sunday (how come there isn't any chatter on here about this show?).
that set he played opening for EITS at the club a little over three years ago blew me away. That's all I vividly remember from that night. Oh and I also remember the Paperchase sucking.
RE: Simon Joyner, I know there are at least a few people who know of him on this board.

Thanks Heather! I have tickets for May 19 and am looking forward to it. I think you are about the same FR fan that I am - I have never seen them live, only recently got back into them, and was really hoping to hear a lot of Midnight Organ over the new stuff, though I like both albums. I was excited about the show before, but now I'm really looking forward to it.
I would also like to point out that The Fillmore offered a 4 pack for this show which reduced the costs by about a third. I was so impressed that I bought 4 tickets at $16.70 each ($24.60 with surcharge) rather than $22.50 each ($32.50 with surcharge) and even if I have to give the 4th ticket away, it will be worth it to me and the venue (for those bad at maths, I spent $98.40 on four tickets instead of $97.50 on three, and the venue will have one more drinker in the house). Just sayin....
Two shows for me this week...
Last night, Visqueen. Powerhouse vocalist, cute bouncy bassist, and Barrett Martin pounding the shit out of the skins. What's not to like?
Sunday, Free Energy.

Screen Vinyl Image, Ceremony, and Soundpool at U St on Thursday.
The scenesters couldn't possibly talk louder than any of the bands' volume.
It is an early show if that helps, Jaguar. Should be over by 9:30 at the latest, I imagine.
Any body know if the openers for the Pains are worth catching at BC wednesday?

Aww too bad. Maybe next timeScreen Vinyl Image, Ceremony, and Soundpool at U St on Thursday.
I wish sooo much that this show was on either Friday or Saturday. As it is, it's just impossible for me to make it down on Thursday night (sigh). All 3 bands are completely on my radar (and my station) and worth catching. Suspect this one is going to do well as it seems there's more interest brewing here. Hope the scenesters appreciate them and shut the fuck up while each band are on stage. ;)
Bitching out on Pantha.
So tired.
I'll be taking that $10 and buying a vuvuzela instead.
^^ did pantha do an encore? I left after the main set (90 minutes).
^^ happy you skipped a rare show? :P

Joe's review was pretty much the opposite of yours.
I could've even stomached watching Arcade Fire live and would've had a HELLA good time :)
So overall not a bad night out. Missed Hooray for Earth, but I'm not too broken up about it. I like TPOBPAH much better on record than Surfer Blood, but it was the exact opposite live. In fact, "Swim" was almost a low point in their set...the rest of the songs sounded good live. Maybe they've worked on their live chops since that review James posted.
TPOBPAH, for such punchy songs, really didn't catch me at all. The singer just doesn't have a strong voice live, and it left me a little lukewarm on their whole set. Still enjoyable, but it definitely lost something in the translation.Not sure...both bands on album are kind of just OK, but since I had other friends interested (and my wife OK'd the time out ;D) I kind of jumped on the chance to see the show.

All three bands played really well. Soundpool are more of a shoegaze/rock band in a live setting than their most recent effort lets on. SVI keep getting better. Ceremony pierced many eardrums and sounded great doing it. It was my first time hearing bands in that room and if you think the PA sounds good when a DJ is spinning, you will be blown away once you hear a live band on there. Everything is so clear. Even the smallest details. 930 has some serious competition for best sound in town.I thought it was great. I skipped out on SVI (too long of a day by that point), but had already seen them a few times this year and will see them a couple more before the end. I wish each band would have got a few extra songs, as I had never seen Ceremony or Soundpool before. Soundpool was funky, Ceremony loud. Thank goodness I had my earplugs with me. Any time a Ceremony song comes across on shuffle, I have to turn it down, as it always is way louder than what ever song was before.

great Goldfrapp gig last night...what a setlist!

Anyone going to Lightning Bolt on Wednesday?
I'd forgotten about it and was chagrined just now to see that it's sold out, but I got a line on a ticket so I think I'm going.
Sore today.
Even hearing Chippendale say, "can I get more kick drum in my monitor?" sounded like some distorted order coming directly from Satan's mouth due to the heavy vocoding on the microphone attached to his mouth.

The Nels Cline Singers on Thursday. I've only seen Nels with Wilco, but I've been listening to Initiate a lot since it came out, so I'm really looking forward to this show.

Chuck Brown's b-day party sounds like fun.
Uh, Iggy and the Stooges in Atlantic City. It's not sold out, and if you're a bachelor for the weekend you have no excuse (other than possibly needing to leave work early on Friday) to not go.
So did anyone else catch the Stooges show last night in AC? Say what you will about the HOB, sound was great, 2 for 1 priced tickets even better plus great sightlines (not to mention they kicked ass as expected and played every song from 'Raw Power' by the time it was said and done), glad I made the drive.
We loved the show. The floor was uncrowded anywhere behind the very front of to soundboard, so it was easy to have a very confotable uncrowded spot with great view and great sound. I really liked hearing all the Raw Powe stuff, and was suruprised when they also threw in several tracks from Funhouse and the first record.
Atlantic city on the other hand is serious hell. I feel I had mental images burned into my brain that night that will never go away.

interesting how you call LCDSS and pavement "entry level idiot hipster magnet bands", yet you get your panties in a knot when someone disses a band of hacks who need theatrics (like being "born" through a giant vagina on stage) to compensate for their lack of interesting new music. i'm not saying oM is better or worse than LCDSS and/or pavements, just a funny observation. yes, little things amuse me.

I'd happily prefer to listen to all *ten Of Montreal albums back to back rather than have to listen to one LCDSS song. What's interesting about their music is that he/they've managed to evolve in such a fashion as to still be making music after ten albums. Music that now sounds little like the twee band they started out as. But that's just me.
I haven't seen them live, so I'm hoping the theatrical stuff doesn't detract from the excellence of the music. I'll bet those who go to see OM go in spite of the theatrical stuff rather than because of it.
*Well actually, I might skip Skeletal Lamping.

The Sea and the Cake was cool although John M was way too high on the mix (you would have thought he'd know better!).. .They only played 36 minutes though then a really long break then BSS... I left before end and Sam Prekop was at a little Sea and the Cake merch table looking bored/forlorn... I said "Hey, aren't you in the band.. you're Archer Prewitt!"...great just great... then I bought a record and had him sign it.. possibly the ugliest Sea and the Cake cover ever...great just great.. I'm sure Sam loved my comment "I got that one with the Bowie cover!"
Hey there, Fuckface! You were supposed to call me. Joe informed me as to your presence at the show.

that's a short setlist for a band with such an extensive catalog......are they tired rocking out?
nice 4 song encore though...hope you guys get it tonite.
oh i guess 20 songs is good...they'll just be done in an hour.. 8)
I bet Robbie Fulks' show is twice as long as the Superchunk show tonight.

Quantity != quality.
Those of us who were at that nearly 3-hour Hole show know this better than anybody else.
I personally don't need more than an hour from 75% of the bands I see nowadays. A band that can hit me over the head and leave me wanting more is much more successful performance-wise than a band that leaves me standing there thinking "finish up already. I wanna go home."

Is Billy Bragg tonight solo or with a band? Looking at the setlists, looks like it's a solo gig...but wasn't sure. I'm thinking this could be a really tremendous show. He's doing some pretty amazing songs.

did anyone go to this? last time i saw him at the birchmere it was maybe 3/1 pontificating/music. really really annoying.
Lots of pontificating...but it wasn't all bad. I think for the 2 hours and 20 minutes he played, there was about 90 minutes worth of music. I think if you go into it with that mindset, it's not that bad because a lot of what he says is either funny or there's a point to it. I'd have to say that if he would have limited the chatter by about 15 minutes or so, it would have been a pretty phenomenal show. Nice setlist too.
Tonight: Possibly Atari Teenage Riot at Sonar (anyone else thinking of going? Ever seen them live before?)
Tomorrow: Freefest
Thu: Arcade Fire @ Shrine Auditorium, LA
^^ hard to believe it was only a 90 minute show, when they played 37 songs...
This GBV criticism coming from someone who requires his acts to dress up like robots, have a stage setup like a pyramid and have mind blowing light show to cover up the fact they are twiddling knobs.

You were at that Tosca show and are giving Dorfmeister another shot? You are far more generous than I.
Please review afterward.
Did anyone go to the Women show at DC9 show? If so, how was it?

it was really good. a bit more dynamic than i thought it'd be. bradford cox and other deerhunters were there hanging out.
AWW! their new album is really good, too! Just hate these conflicts.Did anyone go to the Women show at DC9 show? If so, how was it?

i guess DC lucked out on this one, as this was the only show with the Vaselines.
In Baltimore on Saturday is Puerto Rico Flowers only US show, also with Pfisters and Screen Vinyl Image. I cant think of too many other area shows being close, but if it has to be in dc, then too bad.
My game plan for Halloween:
Cheniers at Black Cat>
Points at DC9>
Zeros at Velvet>
rest of Blonde Redhead at 930 club>
sleep until 5 PM Monday.
Where are Screen Vinyl playing in Arlington?
Here's mine:
Morning: Run Marine Corps Marathon
Afternoon: Lie in bed, get foot and back massages from wife.
Evening: Take daughter trick or treating. She's dressing up as Baby Jaguar. Wife is sewing the costume.(probably way more expensive than just buying one.)
Monday morning: Sleep in (until 7am if I'm lucky)Call in sick even though I'll probably feel fine. Maybe rake some leaves. Take day off from running.
Here's mine:
Morning: Run Marine Corps Marathon
hey, the missus is running the marine corps too. i'll be sure to yell ironic encouragement as you go by. plan is for me to jump the fence and do the last 6 miles with her.
Three hours? Shit, you must be fast. I put in over four hours on Monday, and I still was a few miles shy of 26.2.
This is my first marathon in 4.5 years, first with a child. My wife did her first post-child marathon in April. Hopefully, losing nearly 20 pounds this year and breaking free of my crack habit will help me fare well in this one. By "fare well" of course I mean avoiding death.
Well, I'm rounding a bit. I'm doing much better in my training this go-around; previously for NYC, I was stopping every 6 miles or so for a break. This time, I've been running upwards of 13 without a stop, which has me psyched. And even though I'm way behind, I ran 9 the other day in a little over an hour and 15, so I'm feeling pretty confident. And that's far faster than I've ever run before.
Of course, its my long runs that have suffered; I have a 14, 15, 18 and 20 to still run as part of the training (try to squeeze in a 22 as well, but that's not going to happen this year).
We'll see if I actually can get my act together to run it...Three hours? Shit, you must be fast. I put in over four hours on Monday, and I still was a few miles shy of 26.2.

THe race is 17 days away and you're still planning on doing those four long runs? Seriously?
I'll probably do one more 13 miler this weekend, then no more double digit runs until the race.
I'm so old I don't worry about speed training or interval running anymore. Though I think I'll be faster than my last marathon because I'm fitter and the course is easier (DC vs. Charlottesville).Well, I'm rounding a bit.

Ah, how sweet. :)
May the Jaguar spirits stay with her.
Would love to see some photos of this, even if they are privately emailed.
The disciples of pollard were loving it (including a number of 40-somethings who were reliving their college days and have a blast at it).If they're 40-somethings, they're just reliving their mid-20s! And for me, it's my 30s as I came to GBV around 2000. ;) Saw them in Vegas, LOVED it (the crowd makes the show as much as anything), and seeing them in DC, NY and Philly. G - B - V!
I just don't get why GBV would take the stage at 8 pm at the 930....its a thursday night.. if they do their 40 song set list they'll be done by 10:30.. and isn't Mascis' band Sweet Apple opening..
I don't understand why doors open at 6:30 and Eddie was saying that GBV was exepcted to go on by 8.
Its a problem for me because I'm on kid patrol until about 9 pm that night....
But GBV at 8? Havin g seen them many many times I can never recall them going on that early and their shows were always very long so it doesn't make sense unless they have to be up early the next day to go to NPR or something..

No Points for me tonight after all. Lame, I am.
I've never really met any of you but I would like to at some point. Will there be a board meetup at all for Underworld or Numan?
Anyone else heading to Baltimore for Helmet and Intronaut?
Helmet's new one is weak but Page always puts on an amazng live show.
tuesday: social D, if someone hooks me up with a ticket (trade for underworld?)
Underworld will be sweet!
I'm probably catching Four Tet at Moog Fest. Worth seeing twice in 1 week?
Crocodiles (probably)I dont know if they are any better, but seeing them a year or so ago at Rock and Roll Hotel left me quite underwhelmed.
if you're coming down for social d, make sure to come early. the whole lineup is strong. frank turner and lucero will not disappoint.
Incredible Social D show by the way!
I was just to the left of these guys...
Surprised that we haven't heard from Rhett on this one. Also surprised that the band let this one out!

Zeros
Batoh
Unsure about anything else for this week.
Three straight shows at Velvet; been a while since I did that.
I didn't care much for Last Tide or Impossible Hair and Capstan Shafts' set was plagued with tech problems. So that one was pretty much a wash. Last night was a fun time. Shirks were great as always. I'd been hearing good things about Maybe Baby for ever and they didn't disappoint. Beasts of No Nation got a couple nice little pits going which is easier said than done in DC. The Zeros played everything everyone wanted to hear and did it well.
They are up there. I like Bodycop a lot, too. It's also a good time to be a fan of experimental/ambient stuff living in this area.
anyone here make it to moogfest? thoughts? spin has a lil' write up here: http://www.spin.com/articles/10-best-moments-moogfest-celebration
I know that the new record their weakest LP yet, but it really doesn't suck as bad as everyone says.
Interpol = fail. Ugh.

Who's hitting Jonsi? Going to be two incredible shows!

Dylan on Saturday.Saw him in Charlottesville last night. Very enjoyable show. I already knew exactly what 2010 Dylan does live, and he played a pretty good setlist. So I have no complaints.
Like last year, a whole lot of you missed another stellar show. Featuring the simple things like hooks, harmonies and crunch... Brendan Benson just delivers the goods and was backed pretty much perfectly by the Posies who amped his easy going songs when called for.
What can you do?

Brendan Benson just delivers the goods and was backed pretty much perfectly by the Posies who amped his easy going songs when called for.
i wonder if brendon would have sold less tickets if he had been billed as just brendon benson, and not brendon benson of the band that jack white plays in?
Canyon this friday at Black Cat
Joanna Newsom at Cavernous Head Live sunday..ugh
I did occur to me that it was a tad unfortunate that the show was scheduled right after Grinderman and being mid-week didn't help. I'm sure their fanbases are aging and even shows that get over by 11:30 are a stretch....It was a bit tough for me to have the show mid-week and his set go on at 10:30. Still think it should have sold out. A great co-bill w/ him and The Posies. Aqueduct, I like a couple of their songs, but others not so sure. I hope they tour more and together!
Fort Wilson Riot were good openers. Cloud Cult kicked ass like always. Not a lot of people came out.The Black Cat was not packed, less than half full. But they did their thing. Had both painters on stage, but this time they would spin their canvases while painting. It created some interesting effects. The hour long set was about half Light Chasers tunes, and half oldies. I cant remember all they played, but they definitely played a few of my favorites. The sound was great too. I think they might have brought a sound guy, or they just happened to know/thank him by name. All in all well worth 16 bucks.Sorry for the late reply - I wanted to thank you for the great details and review and pictures to boot! Thank you. Wish I could have been there.

how was it?
Tragically, in the what-a-dumbfuck sense, I learned at an inopportune time that mixing a few beers, two 4lokos and then a coupla jack & cokes, along with a few other elements, is not a good recipe for success. I didn't make it :'( :-X
Took me about two hours of walking the streets around the Black Cat with a grumpy baby in a stroller yesterday morning to find my car.
you're kidding right? i doubt he can even sell out the Black Cat.I think more people should be listening and thus they deserve to be sold out.

Was I the only one whose enjoyment of the Gene Ween show was somewhat ruined by the crowd? I know people like to have a good time and all, but STFU for an acoustic show!
Also, it was very funny to see a bunch of people get thrown out for smoking pot. That's a really smart thing to do at the Black Cat.
Mini-Josh?
Clutch was pretty cool last night at The Nat'l. Nice to see Josh and the other 930 staph member who's name I do not know. hope a good time was had by all.

there were actually 5 staph there, including an angry little gypsy. we had a blast. glad we didn't let the exaggerated winter weather reports keep us away.
If you weren't at Phish MSG, you didn't celebrate New Years correctly. Sorry hipsters!

Someone help psych me up into going to this Kylesa/Zoroaster/Fight Amp gig.
Feeling so unmotivated right now.
That's tonight?!?!? Holy cow, I really wanted to go to this.
Funny think about Kylesa, I was really into the last album for the longest time before I realized that was a chick. Blew my mind.
I also like Fight Amp.
Thoughts on last night's Yo La Tengo show?I pretty much hated it. For the "spin the wheel" set, we got the "Sounds of Science" part 2. This was actually really interesting music, but just not the right setting for it. Also I was really not in the mood for. I was really hoping for the Condo Fucks set or something with some energy. There was alot of audience chatter throughout this set, as it wasn't really holding alot of people's attention.
Girl Talk last night at the National was fun. I'm not sure if they charge for coat check but if they do they must have made a killing, ha. I got video of the crazy show if anyone is interested. The club will have two crazy nights ;D

So no Nervous Cop tonight? What happened to them being on the bill? I'm trying my best to make it tonight, but dealing with a sick kid for the past four days has me crushed. We'll see if I can rally.
have a good Gang of Four show to anyone who is going. Jon King sure is an animated guy but they bored me to tears in 2005.
Anyone else check out The Church last night? They put on a great show. It was really cool to hear such a catalog like that.

I wanted to go but 3 hours inside the Birchmere didn't appeal to me.I know what you mean, but for a 3-set, nearly 4-hour show, having a comfortable seat within a few feet from the stage was pretty great. Also, for the Birchmere, it was really nice and loud.Anyone else check out The Church last night? They put on a great show. It was really cool to hear such a catalog like that.
To OFGWKTA or not to OFGWKTA?
It's a tough one. If I'd never heard their stuff, the idea of seeing a new, semi-underground hip-hop group would be about as appealing as seeing Spoon or some other terrible, awful band. But their shit is so good that it feels like the chance to see something really awesome.
Chances are very good it will be a lot of terrible acoustics and incoherent shouting over the top, but its only $10 and it could be great. No Earl unfortunately. I read that his mom discovered his album, totally freaked out and sent him to military school. Hard to know what's real and what isn't with these guys though.
Josh Ritter just played a set at my office. I missed it :'( ??? :o >:(that's too bad, but cool you work somewhere he is playing. (a few guesses where you work. ;)) Don't let your co-workers rub it in!

did they ever! that was KILLER! great show...
i saw sleater kinney in what i think was their first dc show circa 97 at the old black cat and i think i could make an argument this was better.. man
only thing wrong with it may have been the 1 hr set time but for $13 i'll take it..
it was great to see carrie and janet again.. and mary timony really added to things..
once their album comes out i could see them playing the 930....

I really am not buying into the conspiracy about the scapled tickets for the last LCD show. sorry.
anyone in here been to a show there thats in the pit? How is it?? ;D
So did James do the same thing to The Strokes show that is happening on the 1st at MSG? Please tell me, because the same ticket fiasco went down.
Also - please remember that while MSG holds a good 18k for sports events (and prince in an all-around format), most shows arent selling that many tix. Theres prob 12k tix and when half the world wants them - and they put them all up during the presale - this is what you get.
So yes - naturally the scalpers but 10,000 tix as thats the only way this is possible. YOu do realize people are coming from the UK/California/South America and wherever else to see this _last_ show. And dont forget about us New Yorkers that want to see him one last time.
Here is a good read about the situation. This coming from a guy who goes to tons of concerts in the area.

Here is a good read about the situation. This coming from a guy who goes to tons of concerts in the area.
http://www.joshmorrissey.com/post/3259358314/lcd-soundsystem
I don't know anything about the strokes but I do know this: if the show sold out in 1 second and they were all bought by scalpers then where are they??? why aren't they on stubhub?
they weren't bought by scalpers per se from TM.. i used the term loosely... they were funneled directly to brokers..
look we been though all this.. i'm not going to get into it.. but there's a lot of things that make one go ummmhh.. bowery presents promotes MSG show but also owns terminal 5 which happened to be dark for like a bunch of days in a row. ...
in any case nothing prevents bowery presents/lcd/james murphy from releasing the ticket manifest.. lets see how many tickets actually were on sale! the fact that this info is not released is most damning.
i undertsand these guys are people's heroes but when they behave like zeroes you gotta call them on it.
subhumans (UK) with MDC tonite at ottobar
^^ aww come on bombay, it will be great i guarantee itBetter than Dog Leather/Dope Body?
andyrichter: caught the baltimore subhumans/MDC show....yep, both bands were excellent. "apathy" and "waste of breath" were my favorite songs played...did they do those songs in NYC?
Anyone going to Destroyer tonight? Looking forward to hearing Suicide Demos for Kara Walker.
Ha Ha Tonka on Friday!
THE SKULL DEFEKTS + DANIEL HIGGS, ZOMES, MICROKINGDOM, SHAVE tonight at Floristree. Anyone else? I might be by myself at this one...I loved Floristree (first time) and the Skull Defekts with Daniel Higgs rocked hard as shit. What a great, fun show. The sound was good, crowd was into it, and the band (especially Daniel) just went nuts. The pairing of his crazyness with their Swedish, all in black, big muff trudge... Very nice. Plus the one guy banged on what appeared to be taped together gas jugs with metal on the top.
So jealous. I planned to go to that for months but the inconvenience of getting to Baltimore then probably having to stay the night then getting back the following day paired with the free tickets to The Whigs Joe won for that night caused me to go to 930 for The Whigs instead. They were just ok. Maybe I should have bit the bullet and gone to Floristree.From the night before:
Weather sucks too much to go anywhere tonight.
ugh
Been looking forward to this forever, too. I used to not be this lame. What happened?
Anyone else go to British Sea Power? A solid show after a rocky start. I am not sure that the violinist and keyboards add a lot to the mix.Surprised I didn't notice you there g-dub. I thought it was an outstanding show and agree with your verdict on the added instrumentation. For a band thats 10 years in, playing to a 2/3rds empty room they gave it their all
i'm considering Pantha du Prince on wednesday, and Fort Knox Five + All Good Funk Alliance on saturday (maybe add PB&J as an appetizer)
PB&J were pretty damn excellent tonight. thoroughly enjoyed that.
Sort of wishing I went to that. How was Bachelorette?
This week:
Maybe the Shpongle thing Tuesday although I don't know how much of a Simon DJ set I could take before boredom sets in.
(Reviews I have read make it sound as though "a head full of L" is required in order for me to enjoy myself at this; no thanks. Have fun working this one, staffers! ;D)

pretty psyched about black cat tonightI'm psyched for Yuck - for the life of me I cannot understand the appeal of Tame Impala
ted leo-friday
Anyone go to Twilight Singers last night? I was absolutely blown away. I was a huge Afghan Whigs fan back in the day and have only dabbled in the TS stuff the past ten years. I didn't know many of the songs last night, but enjoyed the show immensely anyway. I also got to chat with Greg after the show, which was just icing on the cake.
Excellent Echo & the Bunnymen show last night. I REALLY enjoyed that one. Finally a decent drummer.
Ted Leo on Saturday.
Still debating going to the Echo show.
The hour they made us wait was obnoxious but once they did go on, it was phenomenal.
I think that is SOP for Ian,never fails when I have seen them,fucking always late,shouldn't have rushed down last night........The hour they made us wait was obnoxious but once they did go on, it was phenomenal.
when you think ted leo will be on? i'm thinking 9pm since its one of saturday show special thingies.
Tonight: amos lee @ the national, unexpectedly... Anyone else, per chance?

I worked the show. Sorry if it was noisy where you were, the audience was a bit too chatty :(

seriously. security came over to my section of the balcony to settle a squabble between one group of patrons trying to enjoy the show, and the ones behind them who wouldn't shut the f*ck up. it really was a chatty crowd, constant buzz of talk throughout the night. sorry we didn't a chance to meet up - hopefully next time.
i was relly impressed by the national. beautiful room, great service, nice beer selection (loved the magic hat vinyl)... i liked. made up for an average show and below-average crowd. ;D

For a variety of reasons, I haven't listened to Goblin much but I'm still looking forward to this. Can't say the U St show in Feb was tremendous but it was entertaining and I've only gotten more familiar with their stuff since then
OFWKGTA on Wednesday

No one going to Alberta Cross tonight?
sad to have missed the last body cop show. they were easily my favorite dc band of the past couple years.
azaghal, what did you think of the trimble show?
I just randomly looked up Fucked Up's website to see if they'll be touring any time soon and was absolutely delighted to discover they're playing the RnR Hotel next Monday.

Farmfest was a blast. Except that Golden Animals canceled. Then the rains came and the DJs didn't get to spin.I had to skip it due to just moving and needing that day to get my new place into order. I will definitely try to make it next year.
Only in the DC area would large portions of the front sections be sitting down most of the time for an Animal Collective show
about how sold was MPP for Animal Collective?
Black Dice kind of reminded me of Health but wihout a drummer ;D

Yes, Guided By Voices at the Hopscotch festival. Not sure if you know this or not but this was their final show forever. Now we all know how that goes but that's what it was billed as. So it was a big deal.

I think they're going to record an album and tour it.
If it was their final show forever I can live with that too as their 930 show was great and I've seen them a bunch going back to 95...I'll look for your videos!
Not that it was in much doubt, but...

Edit: Ugh. Feeling too tired to go to Fucked Up.
Mogwai postponed. So much for that one.
good wilco show.. a treat to finally see nick lowe..
wilco show seemed a bit short..they were done 10:20..anyways i enjoyed it.
We did the gatecrashers thing, too. It was ok - could potentially be a great thing.
I thoroughly enjoyed Wilco. My wife, who is completely unfamiliar with them, thought they were wonderful.

How can you be completely unfamiliar with Wilco? Is she from some other planet?! ;D
what is this gatecrashers thing? did you actually jump the fence?!?
they do not have any top-40 hits
they aren't in any iconic commercials
and if they've ever been featured as background music in popular tv show, i've never heard of it.
i'm willing to bet that a random sampling would show that less than a quarter of the US population have ever heard of wilco.

is your head so far up your hipsterism that you don't realize that wilco isn't mainstream? they do not have any top-40 hits, they're not on popular radio. they aren't in any iconic commercials and if they've ever been featured as background music in popular tv show, i've never heard of it. there is little reason why the average person, with average music taste/exposure, would be familiar with wilco.
i'm willing to bet that a random sampling would show that less than a quarter of the US population have ever heard of wilco.
Wilco is definitely mainstream as far as music goes. Their album will probably debut in the top 10 and their last one I think was in the top five!
Having said that at the end of the day there's nothing wrong with not knowing who they are... my statement was not pejorative.. I was just surprised! :)
I myself loved Wilco in the 90s..this is a different band now and they are very tight live but their studio work is not really all that in my opinion.
One of my favorite shows remains November 16, 1999 at the 930 club..must of been around when Summerteeth came out (still my favorite) ...Old 97s opened and blew the roof off the place... at the time there was no divider between the stage and the crowd...me and 10 friends were up by front left using the stage as our party table leaving our beer bottles up there.. it was a low stage at the time... then Wilco came out and held their own.... what a great show.. I've seen other people mention this show as a winner also...
X on Wednesday...kind of funny that we'll sit through a 90 minute documentary, THEN the band will come out and play "Los Angeles," but should be good.
Louis CK tonight @ The Bell House.
This sale was even worse than RH. I didnt get tix for either but thankfully a friend is bringing me tonight.
$6.50 for PBR? Okay, it's a 16 oz can, but come on...
I guess nobody goes to see the older cats.. anyways both Elvis Costello and Bryan Ferry were real treats...
Nice to see Thatguy at the Ferry show.. no bullshit from him or attitude...just plain answers.

Jens show was the weakest in DC yet. Something was off. Black Cab was great but everything else was just ehh. I want to blame the space and listless crowd but I dunno exactly what it was.

Loretta Lynn / SCOTS tomorrow!
How on earth were there not more people at the Throwing Muses show? That had to be the best thing I've seen all year. That band is so tight it's almost tough to comprehend. The connection between Dave and Kristin is almost spiritual. What a great night.
anyone else seeing The Jayhawks this Thursday?
Thursday: Wild Flag
Saturday: Possibly Dum Dum Girls/Crocodiles, if I don't go to the Caps game
Pretty rockin' Wild Flag show, though something was a bit off. Definitely better the first go-around, but still a good time. Nice encore too.
Pro of the night: getting a free 3/4 full PBR. Hey, it was free!
Con of the night: getting gum on my jacket :(

There is plenty going on this weekend.
M83 (early and late shows) at Black Cat, Glenn Jones at some house in Tacoma ParkFriday
The Field at USMH (early), Boris/Asobi Seksu/Liturgy at BC (later), Glenn Jones at a house in Alexandria Sat
Battles/Nisennenmondai at 930, Fuxa at Velvet Sunday
I know there is more but those are off the top of my head.
so there are two M83 shows this friday, with one opener. do we think set times will be something like:
6:00 doors for early show
6:30 active child
7:15 or 7:30 - M83
8:30 show ends
9:00 doors for late show
9:30 active child
10:15 or 10:30 - M83
11:30 show ends
?
Historically, shows at the Black Cat tend to start later and end later on Fridays, like 12:00 or 12:15, because the Metro runs later. I suspect there'll be a longer gap between the openers and M83 in the later set. I'd be surprised if M83 took the stage before 10:30.
If anyone has extra ticket to M83, please PM me.
I started the week with plans only to go to the Little Dragon show on Sat. 10/29 and possibly the DJ Rekha show that follows it.
Then I ended up seeing Matthew Sweet at the Birchmere last night (a friend won free tickets), and will be catching Medeski, Martin, and Wood with Antibalas tonight.
A busier-than-anticipated week!
Oh man, the only thing worse than wearing a band's shirt to their show is wearing a shirt of their PREVIOUS bands! ;)
Saw Wild Flag and Dum Dum Girls last week -- agree that Wild Flag was better the first time, both in the actual playing and that the songs were all brand new and were such a delightful surprise. But I enjoyed the show last week as well.Aw, I missed you, Bags! I was there too, but I didn't see you. I agree Wild Flag wasn't as tight as the first show, but the song they played to end their main set was pretty awesome with Carrie knocking over the mic stand and generally going nuts. That was better than anything in the first show, but the first show was better overall, I'd agree. Splitting hairs though. For my money, these two Wild Flag shows were two of the top 5 shows of the year so far.
Oh man, the only thing worse than wearing a band's shirt to their show is wearing a shirt of their PREVIOUS bands! ;)
so in this scale, where does bands wearing their own shirts on stage (http://www.spin.com/gallery/shirt-happens-rock-stars-wearing-their-own-merch) rank?
Fanfarlo @ Mercury Lounge Thurs night.
does anyone know if casiokids has an upcoming dc show this coming weekend? or what is going on thats worth checking out?
i might have an extra for the late show. i most likely won't know for sure until friday.
They appear to be going for a big arena rock type sound which would have sounded better in a bigger room. It felt to me like the BC system was not able to do it justice. 930 next time, Seth?

YES PLEASE. i was unimpressed with the black cat last night. all in all, it's a very average venue and some things about it are down-right shitty. the ceiling is too low, the PA is unimpressive, the sight lines are bad unless you're up front, people talk too much, and it feels run down. last night, the only good thing about the BC that came to mind was the bands it books - if you're into smaller/less mainstream/indie'er/etc bands, then i'd understand one someone loves the BC. but given the choice between seeing a band at the 930 and the BC, would anyone choose the BC?
The line between which venue books what bands is becoming more blurred. M83 easily could have sold the club out last night and I would be shocked if they did not play there the next time they come through.
i agree with hutch...if m83 played the 930, it would have been $25 as opposed to $15.
yup, shows are cheaper at the BC so that's a plus for them. on the other hand, i would have paid $5 or $10 more for a better PA and better sight lines. i realize not everyone would agree.
beer might be cheaper at the black cat ($6 for 16 oz of draft vs. $7 for 12 oz at 930), but WTF is the deal with their over-priced water?!? $4 for a silver blue-and-red can that they called a "tall-boy". ridiculous!
if black cat had a parking situation like the 930 . . . they'd give the club a little more run for the money. i don't go to black cat because i enjoy my life after i park my car.
parking? couldn't care less about that... certainly don't think more highly of a rock and roll club because they offer PAID parking...
I'm a walker.. i can park my car where there are spots and walk to the clubs and enjoy it..or I can metro.
another plus for the black cat is they couldn't care less if you take pictures or video.. for me thats a nice thing.. at the 930 you're always worried someone is going to come up to you and tell you not to do it.. they are nice about it for sure though...
another plus about the black cat is the artists often work the merch table or come out after show ad walk around..i've had nice conversations with members of bands i like at the black cat.. its just more relaxed and informal.. at a mountain goats show in the 90s john simply let everyone backstage after the show... a few years ago i had a beer and talked with one of the guys from sloan.... dean wareham and britta came out and mingled.. i've never had that at the 930
like i said i love both places but props to the black cat for existing in a cesspool of yuppydom.

Says the guy who threw a royal shit fit when MBV chose to play Richmond instead of right in your neighborhood. ::) Though those are big pluses for your personal concert life, not all of us have it that easy when it comes to seeing a show. Almost ANY show, for that matter; so, for us, it does matter. The show experience itself might not be any different but we have to be able to get to the show before we can actually see the thing.another plus for the black cat is they couldn't care less if you take pictures or video.. for me thats a nice thing.. at the 930 you're always worried someone is going to come up to you and tell you not to do it.. they are nice about it for sure though...
Couldn't agree more with you on this.another plus about the black cat is the artists often work the merch table or come out after show ad walk around..i've had nice conversations with members of bands i like at the black cat.. its just more relaxed and informal.. at a mountain goats show in the 90s john simply let everyone backstage after the show... a few years ago i had a beer and talked with one of the guys from sloan.... dean wareham and britta came out and mingled.. i've never had that at the 930
Maybe you haven't been there on the right nights or just don't know the way it usually works out at the 9:30. I've mingled with many different bands there from Spiritualized to Elbow, only to name a few. Lots of other forum members were there too. Some of them just come up to us and start socializing which is very different from most other club experiences.
like i said i love both places but props to the black cat for existing in a cesspool of yuppydom.
Ja ja! Again, I agree.

Thumbs down.
1. security out front makes you do the "T" and pull your pockets inside out.
2. once you get inside you have to do a line where they ask for your id and run it through a machine... never seen this in my life! looking for people who might owe child support and maybe more..unclear whether they would arrest you although I didn't see any cops (I was too busy yelling at them to ask pertinent questions)
3. the place was COLD.. not sure if its not finished or there is a hole somewhere but I was cold.
4. my friend had seats in the VIP area.. a little table facing stage up in balcony... only three beers on tap... shocktop, sam adams maybe seasonal and some shit beer i can't remember.. you can't stand up in your VIP table area to dance cause your head would block table behind you.
5. place was crowded.. if you think the 930 gets crowded well this was crowded and since its noticeable wider than 930 forget about moving if you're in the middle.
6. when you get out after a while they start with the barriers to close off area in front of Fillmore.
Sound was quite good though..I will give it that.. they had some posters on the wall.
Ziggy Marley needs some help with his band.. only one female backing singer but two keyboards, two drums/percussion..a guitarist that is completely by the books and has not an ounce of soul. Enjoyed Ziggy last time so much more... it was weird he's singing about Freedom after we've had the id check... then he's singing get up stand up and everyone in the tables is sitting. I found a corner they "let me" dance in the VIP area but I felt like the VIP ropeline worker was this close to telling me to sit down. nuts.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to check it out though...
Thumbs down.
1. security out front makes you do the "T" and pull your pockets inside out.
2. once you get inside you have to do a line where they ask for your id and run it through a machine... never seen this in my life! looking for people who might owe child support and maybe more..unclear whether they would arrest you although I didn't see any cops (I was too busy yelling at them to ask pertinent questions)
I went a few weeks ago and I'd say the only redeeming qualities of the place are in no particular order...
1. You can smoke pot
Scratch Acid was really good, but I really miss getting to see David Yow in a packed room full of people freaking out. Turnout last night was probably about half of what it was for the Jesus Lizard 9:30 club show in 2009.
A smaller venue couldn't book them because they probably had an absurdly high guarantee.
That same show on the BC backstage would have been one of the craziest of the year.
Still beats not seeing them.
Yes, Mr. Brilliant Pants, that is what I am saying.
But that is just a guess. It would also explain the $25 price tag.
This week: maybe Trombone Shorty Wednesday, Christopher Willits>Aids Wolf/Unicorn Hard-on/The Plums Thursday, Les Rhinoceros Friday, Ted Leo Saturday
I'm sure the club know enough about what they're doing to charge enough so that they make something. They have been doing this long enough and undoubtedly expected the turnout they got. If the choice was see Scratch Acid with a few people or not see them at all, I would go with the former. And maybe the club agrees.
thinking about trying for further in c-ville. is it just me, or is the tour now not selling all that great?
j edgar is not very good. as far as scratch acid. booking shows is like gambling, you do not always win. there is a chance 930 lost $. that might be why there seemed to be a last minute event after sa. and sa times seemed to move up.
sunday: considering Youth Lagoon @ Red Palace
sunday: considering Youth Lagoon @ Red Palace
that album is really good ... holler at me if you go, I could be persuaded to peel myself away from football
will do. probably a game-time decision, will depend on what my sunday looks like.
Foo Fighters tonight, make sure you all say hi to me. I'll be a guy in a shirt there ;D
friday: foos, maybe. TBD.
I didn't realize Bob was DJing the shows, too. Did he play between bands? Before the show?
I didn't realize Bob was DJing the shows, too. Did he play between bands? Before the show?
He wasn't djing, he actually played with the band. He did the same thing last night with two songs ;D
last night's show was excellent. exactly what an arena rock show should be. more later.
I was surprised by how little Grohl came down the runway or whatever..
dean and britta at the national gallery of art playing while the screen tests were on the big screen was pretty cool...
unbelievable how many people showed up...
i was the last person to get in.
;D
speaking of the floor, it was way undersold (pic (https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/OQ5cQwIb5SH-dYpQQ9nJ0Q?feat=directlink)). a few hundred more people could easily have fit in there. it was a little embarrassing when dave ran to the back mini-stage and there was no one on the barricades. maybe it's fire/safety regulations that stipulate you can only have X number of people on the floor, regardless of whether they're standing or sitting?
for others who were at the show - dave twice mentioned "see you at the 930". i thought he meant that he would play there at some point, but the missus thought that he was inviting people back there for a drink immediately after the show. did anyone else catch this? did anyone head over to the 930??
will do. probably a game-time decision, will depend on what my sunday looks like.
yeah, i live a couple of blocks away, so i'm in the same boat

the capacity of the floor is set based on the space available. if all of those people cram up to the front, the back looks empty. it was at capacity.

yes, people did. i sent a warning over to the club to expect that misunderstanding, and they turned away probably 40 or 50 people.

hoya- not looking likely. i'm off for a long run, then have guests over later this afternoon, and a ton of stuff to do around the house and yard. i think my evening entertainment, should i get around to it, will be limited to pats/jets. if you end up going, please be sure to piss me off with stories of how good it was.
Fitz and the Tantrums - tonight Show would have gone to 11 had I gotten the chance to DJ, so it will just be a 9.5 evening :)
need a little playlist to get in the right mood?

was pretty resigned to not going to the foo fighters show last night until medmad came through with some front row uppers. the last 4 times i've seen dave/the foos have been from 25 feet away or less, luckily their stage show did a great job of filling the whole arena. not sure if the people on the floor could see this, but the entire stage was made up of LCD panels (video 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1ayQhgEQSM), video 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeOwoSi_3DQ)). from my vantage point i got the full effect of the light show. speaking of the floor, it was way undersold (pic (https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/OQ5cQwIb5SH-dYpQQ9nJ0Q?feat=directlink)). a few hundred more people could easily have fit in there. it was a little embarrassing when dave ran to the back mini-stage and there was no one on the barricades. maybe it's fire/safety regulations that stipulate you can only have X number of people on the floor, regardless of whether they're standing or sitting?
the show was 3 hours long, the encore being an hour of that (which we saw from the lower bowl, having snuck down). i can see how some might say that's too long, but i loved every second of it since the show just kept getting better as it went on. dave really gave it his all and local references were fun, like describing the soulless malls of springfield, but he might want to get some new stage banter material: he's been flogging that story about the girl in grade 7 who broke his heart for some time now. it was cool to see bob mould brought for the encore but i feel his presence wasn't used to it's full potential. it was great to see how much love pat smear got when he was introduced. more pix (https://picasaweb.google.com/sweetcell/FooFightersDC20111111?authuser=0&feat=directlink) & setlist.

joy formidable: pretty meh, for me. their first few songs were alright but that noise-jam at the end just bugged.
social d: i love me some mike ness, but something didn't click last night. their performance was fine, but i didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the other times i've seen them.

I'd love to take credit for the music last night, but alas they had their own DJ... who took it in slightly different direction then I would have.
Show wasn't as good as it could have been, seemed like the band has a lot of filler or a 90min set much of it ballady. They seemed stuck in first gear most of the night, but I suspect they have a killer festival set an it's possible they have been out several months touring the same record and are probably getting tired, his voice seemed a bit rough early on. Fitz strikes me as being a bit like Robbie Williams little brother or an ex-boy band member, clearly a lead singer with more than a few moves. Band IMHO needs a guitarist and full horn section to really come alive.

Bombino tonight.
Pretty sure I'm the only person here who likes Tori Amos, but the show last night was one of her best ever. And the meet and greet was fantastic. I think she was always meant to play with a string quartet.
You're not the only one, though I skipped 2007 and 2009 tours 'cause I lost interest from the 'alright' shows from 2003-2005. The new album is fantastic though and this tour with the string quartet is her best since 2001.Pretty sure I'm the only person here who likes Tori Amos, but the show last night was one of her best ever.

WWE TLC at 1st Mariner on Sunday.
Man, since ditching cable, I'm way behind. Didn't realize this was in Baltimore.I actually just got back into watching it this summer after a ten plus year hiatus. This will be my first event, and I am very excited for it. It also ends my drought of going to shows (music, wrestling, comedy, whatever) due to me finally leaving "under-employed" status.
Lucero were great. I was a little concerned when eight of them took the stage, but they pulled it off.
The only thing that DBT killed in the first 45 minutes was apparently the attention of the crowd, which dwindled by roughly half on the floor. They finally kicked it up near the end of their set. But look how many times the roadie had to come out to ask the crowd to make some noise if they wanted an encore.
Perhaps. I still thought that the first part of their set lacked some energy and didn't really get a head of steam until Carl Perkins. After that they were great, but they played much less time than I expected. Maybe that's the drawback of seeing a band on the first night of a three night stand. They were pacing themselves.
Nonetheless, a sub-par DBT show is still a very good thing.
I once shared a spliff with Family Man.
True story.
Last night...Lucero proved they are one of the most boring bands in the planet.
And the Truckers killed it. Anybody know the song that namechecked "Sweet Home Alabama" toward the end? I'm not talking about "Ronnie and Neil", which they didn't play.
Friday was the legendary DBT show for me. Thursday was the weakest but still a very good setlist (although I had to leave after Play It All Night Long to catch the last metro train. Wouldn't have been a problem with the 9:30 start time, but it's a small complaint), and Saturday was a hell of a lot of fun, but Friday just kicked ass, and they really seemed fired up throughout. I know they don't really plan setlists before the show, but it felt like they deliberately put together a set of some of their hardest rockers, and it was just what I wanted to hear them play.
Overall, I'm glad I was at all three shows. Including the covers/Booker T songs from Saturday night, they played around 50 different songs, which is nice to see. I was hoping for a deeper setlist, heavier on the slower soul side of the band on Saturday night, but I can't blame them for trying to keep the energy up. Like someone said, subpar DBT is still a great night of music.
And I'd never been to a NYE show anywhere, so the countdown/balloon drop thing was fun, and jumping straight into Green Onions made it even better.
That's odd. I looked at the setlist for Thurs and Friday, and was very glad i chose Thursday.That is a great encore, but the only song they didn't eventually play at the other shows was People Who Died. I'm very pissed I missed that one though.
Here's what you missed after you left Thurs (quite a stellar finish imo):
18. Used To Be A Cop
19. Get Downtown
20. Lookout Mountain
21. Zip City
22. Let There Be Rock
23. Shut Up and Get On The Plane
24. People Who Died

I loved that I went to a show where absolutely no one held up their bright ass smartphone to take a picture or video. Jeff Mangum show was great. More artists and bands should enforce that rule.I went to the Friday show. Was way in the back of the balcony and could barely see Mr. Mangum, unfortunately, but I had a great time. I know it's only February, but I'll go out on a limb and say it'll be the concert of the year for me. The show exceeded my expectations, which were already really high.

Double Negative at Golden West Cafe Saturday night.How was this show? New singer?
Looking forward to it almost as much as my wife is dreading it.
I don't know what people are smoking when it comes to Kurt Vile.... show tonight was atrocious.... would be surprised if its not the worse show I catch this year.
Now Thurston Moore.... thats what I'm talking about... harp/violin/2 acoustic guitars/drums lineup never rocked so hard.
of course many DC "hipsters" left after Kurt Vile... maybe they were depressed at how shitty it was?
Never been to a bad Kurt Vile show...maybe you guys aren't familiar with his stuff?
I mean hutch's specialty is rock en espanol...
sold out insanely quick! a friend got good seats but i was hoping for standing.Did you get your Pulp tickets for Warfield? ;D
Never been to a bad Kurt Vile show...maybe you guys aren't familiar with his stuff?

even the gram parsons song sounded horrible and its hard to mess that up..
what do you guys see in kurt vile? seriously. just atrocious.

umm..you couldn't be more wrong! I've seen Dylan live about 15 times and he's probably my favorite musician..and yes, a great "singer"
Love Waits.. but have only seen him once..
All great shows.
To compare Kurt Vile to Bob Dylan is an insult to Bob!
Comparisons of Vile to Springsteen, Petty and now Dylan are laughable!
After listening to his latest album I fall into the Kurt Vile sucks category.

I love Kurt Vile and have seen him many times and if Monday was someone's first time seeing him, I can see why they'd leave w/a negative impression. Usually solo acoustic suits him well (best?) but there was something a bit off w/his performance. His set at Red Onion a year ago was far superior. Also didn't help that he didn't play some of his best songs from the new album ("Jesus Fever," "Baby's Arms").
Either Zola Jesus at U St or Flock of Dimes at BC on Thursday and possibly America at Rams Head Annapolis on Saturday.
You can do both Zola and Flock of Dimes. Zola is early show.True... It all depends on how I feel that night. I might end up hitting Zola after work, and then decide to just go home.Either Zola Jesus at U St or Flock of Dimes at BC on Thursday and possibly America at Rams Head Annapolis on Saturday.

Ill be wearing my pink Dolph Ziggler Show Off T Shirt with a Johnny 2012 sign with Excuse Me! on the other side. I cant wait. For TLC (my first WWE Event) we had nose bleeds, but for this we are in section 111 on the TV side, not too far up. We (my WWE watching friends) are also going to Smackdown in Baltimore this summer, and possibly No Way Out in NJ also this summer.Im still deciding if I will go to the Black Tambourine show on Saturday.

I definitely think it is safe to say they will go on after 11.

I do have nonstop shows between now and then, though so if your other contact decides she wants it, go ahead and give it to her.boardies, feel free to PM me if interested. azag and my contact are tentative so if you want Nada Surf is all yours. I'll see the one tonight and find out if she is closer to a decision.
Snow Patrol was all right, prefer the crunchier stuff and smaller crowds before they made it big. Fun band though, as always. Enjoyable back drop but seizure induced lasers were meh after awhile. (made the show feel like a stadium though better than spotlights in your eye)
Not feeling well so had to skip DeVotchKa - dang it. Probably 4th time I've missed one of their shows. Eish. Anyhow, Nada Surf slot still open if anyone wants to go.
200 Years/Afternoon Penis/Lexie Mountain at Soft House Saturdayalmost forgot about that one. Ill probably be in attendance. Also on the bill: Horse Lords and Speaker.
had no idea tomorrow's show at Fillmore was free. ah well. anyone headed to M.Ward or other shows this weekend?
Mickey Hart on Monday...
Mickey Hart on Monday...
is schools from widespread playing with them the whole tour, or just some shows? should be a blast.
i wonder if i'll have to spread my ass cheeks for security . . . you know how 930 is when the jam band comes to town.
now i know why xneverwherex went to this . . . .

http://music.hillcountrywdc.com/event/82281
No Allo Darlin' for you?Allo Darlin will be on WMUC at 1:30 pm.
And no, El Tee, I thought about Ted Leo but the shows sold out before I could decide. Going to The Cherch for Ed Askew tomorrow instead.
Looking like Allo Darlin' tonight, Ed Askew at The Cherch tomorrow and Sonic Circuits gig at Pyramid Saturday for me.
Boo I missed this. And I am having second thoughts about the show.
Great Allo Darlin show last night.....reminded me of a combination of early 10k maniacs and Kirsty Maccoll!
...also dig the Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald on draft
lots of happy nerds last night...Wave Pictures surprised as well... a sculpture is a sculpture, marmelade is marmelade, etc... their songs actually stuck in my head more than the Allo's did.

How does one get in on that?
How does one get in on that?Its in a cafeteria/radio station type place, third floor, at College Park. I went once and had a blast. I just need to remember that it is happening and to not be late.

So I'm currently in a small joint in Fort worth, TX (Lola's), and the Polyphonic Spree go on in 15 mins. On their home-turf. Room holds 200 tops. Sipping a Ranger IPA. Life is alright.
So 50 in the band and 150 in the audience?
Sounds sweet, Sweetcell! I cant wait to see them at Sixth and I in 11 days.
how was Spiritualized?
How was M83? I heard really good. I decided to sit out last minute. Just wanted to be outside doing other stuff w/ family.
all those attractive backup singers still give me a creepy/cultish vibe, tho.
anyone down for DSO acoustic at the Birchmere on Wednesday?
Saturday - Dope Body/Roomrunner at Coward ShoeAlso with hume. Its the venue grand opening. Also Dan Deacon, Spank Rock, and Co La will be on DJ duties.
Beth Orton tomorrow. Anyone else?U Hall is cool, like clubs at college and remind me of some overseas. Nice space, GREAT sound. Wish Seth had a hand in a few things to tweak. Overall good night, a little uncomfortable if you have to stand for awhile. There are stools, and a few places to lean, but grab early.Maybe Dawn Landes Sat. at JJ? Anyone? She goes on first..not sure I feel like paying for a 45min-1 hr show..Think she is solo acoustic sans Hounds?
Anyone headed to Damien Jurado at BC Monday?
Garbage Wed.?
David Mayfield at JJ on Thurs - he recently opened for Avett Bros. friend said really good if not better than AB, and in the same vein.
Still want to see GLS at RnR on the 27th but won't go without one of you.:)
Most likely both Black Dice and Ketamines/Teen Liver tonight
Skatepark of Baltimore fund raiser tomorrow at Chief Ike's followed by some local psych at Amma House
Sonic Circuits John Cage Millennium Stage thing and shoegaze thing at Artomatic Saturday.
Death Fest Sunday for Yob, Electric Wizard, Church of Misery and Saint Vitus.
and when does he fuck?
Very good. Short but sweet. I was unaware they had so much material that was not on the spaced out record. Teen Liver were fun too. The Howard brothers from Cigarette and some other dude whose name I forget. Straightforward pop punk but done well. I had no idea who The Doozies were but 4/5 of the crowd was comprised of children who were there for them. They were pretty unremarkable.
the howard (my first time there)drove by a few weeks ago seeing the venue for the first time. Lit up and shiny like a Christmas tree. Made me think of buildings/stores in Beverly Hills.
the venue is very posh... some of the food prices seemed a bit outlandish..
Dandies Tuesdaysee you there - usual spot?
great lakes swimmers (really good too, but not really my sound) at rnr hotel.good show? wish i had gone. avoiding rnr or buddying up when i eventually go.
Anyone going to Steve Winwood at Wolf Trap on Tuesday? Has anyone taken Metro out there before? Is it a complete and total clusterfuck?there have been a few posts by people who have metroed and bused it over. (metro to Vienna then bus to Wolftrap I remember?) I think it's okay from what they've said. Just an extended trip as the venue is about another 1/2 hour from the station. Don't know the return schedule. (I've never bused it out there. And, only been to the Barns in off season by car)
Dandy Warhols looking unlikely now. Someone just alerted me to a Nautical Almanac thing at Floristree tomorrow evening. Yeah, lame of me, I know.no worries, thanks for note. I haven't made it down yet due to storm so my attendance is compromised too.
great lakes swimmers (really good too, but not really my sound) at rnr hotel.good show? wish i had gone. avoiding rnr or buddying up when i eventually go.
i had never seen them live figured i'd check them out. they are not really to my musical taste but i'm glad i checked them out as their show was quite strong-good presence, tight band, played for about an hour and 35 minutes.everyone says it's shite: sound, sight, staff, etc. and I haven't quite figured out secure parking yet.
why avoiding rnr?great lakes swimmers (really good too, but not really my sound) at rnr hotel.good show? wish i had gone. avoiding rnr or buddying up when i eventually go.
I hope some shows at RnR go elswhere, they and Red Palace do receive quite a few I'd like to see.
Anyhow...Rhett Miller at JJ Mon., Matthew Sweet at club Sat. (I have an extra ticket if anyone wants it - free - azag?)
Loved the Red Palace. It was sold out, but there was still room to stand, and you can see the stage. Went to RNR for a sold out show and it was the WORST ever.
Will Joe and I be the only forumers who know who the hell "dabke" is? Predictable.
Will Joe and I be the only forumers getting our dabke on tomorrow? Lame.
I have an extra to Rhett Miller tonight w/ The Spring Standards at JJ if anyone is interested or needs a ticket. (sold out) Lemme know. Show at 8.How was the Rhett Miller show?
hoping to make bootsy collins sunday night at the state if he doesn't cancel and newborn situation allows...I dont know where you live (or the exact newborn situation, congrats!), but he is also playing on June 11 at Rams Head Annapolis.

my wife's mother's birthday party
tab benoit at hamilton on thursday
balkan beat box at 930 on friday
lisa hannigan/joe henry at 6th and I on sunday
slick rick/soul rebels at howard next thursday
Have fun! I saw him the last time he came to the Verizon Center and had a great time. I think that time he played 25 older songs, and 2 or 3 off his newest two records. This one being a greatest hits tour should be 30 or so old ones... I really wish i could go. Neil has some timeless, great songs.
balkan beat box at 930 on friday
The Hives tomorrow! Haven't been to a show at the club in forever, it seems like... Super excited, haven't seen The Hives since they played the Cat a couple years back. I was able to buy the tickets on my phone while waiting at the DMV on Saturday! The future is an exciting place to be in.
I've not seen them for a while.I see. it just seems like you listed them for the last few weeks. I thought they were great when i saw them open up for Roomrunner.
Missed their gig with Grass Widow last week.
I don't think I've seen them since late April or early May, actually.
One of them is a friend of mine so I do try to catch them whenever it's convenient, though.
It appears as though I have won free Lucero tickets for Friday.How were they? It's been several years since I saw Lucero at the Black Cat.
I wasnt able to attend, and gave my tickets up the day before.It appears as though I have won free Lucero tickets for Friday.How were they? It's been several years since I saw Lucero at the Black Cat.
As much as I hate using this term, White Lung killed last night. Girlstabs (2/3 of Priests and one other girl) and Mary Christ were really good, too.
Purling Hiss on Monday were pretty awesome. They're veering away from the psych toward a more indie-pop direction which surprisingly works. The Young were ok and I only caught a little bit more than a song from The Convocation but thoroughly enjoyed what I heard.
Count down to Farm Fest!"Gates 1pm
Count down to Farm Fest!
But 105 to 110 degree temperature that day?!?! Im really considering changing plans, though I should probably go.Count down to Farm Fest!
RE: Farm Fest: would love to see Black Moth Super Rainbow again...don't care for the rest
why aren't you going, Jaguar?
Been so lazy lately. Blew off shows last night and the night before for no reason. I'll chalk it up to the heat. Yeah, that's it. It's the heat.
Why aren't you going? Or, are you?

no, too hot today.It actually wasnt that bad. We got there at 6:30 and it was 92 degrees. Within an hour or so it was very comfortable. I was able to catch Serpent Throne (fun guitar shredding), White Hills (loud, groovy, and just enough fuzz), Rude Girls Burlesque (not sure why they had it, but it was fun), the Flying Eyes (only time there was a huge crowd around the stage, kicked ass as usual, and they had fire dancers to the side of the stage and a sitar player), and lastly Celebration (technical problems cut their set short, I would only be upset if i hadnt already seen them several times). I didnt stay for Black Moth Super Rainbow since I wasnt camping and had to drive 60 miles back. All in all it was a fun and unique festival experience, much like in 2010. The atmosphere is great, and I would recommend it to anyone. Cheap food, beer, and merch (i bought a poster and 3 American Apparel t shirts for $30), friendly staff, and not a bad spot to see and hear the music on the whole farm.
Why aren't you going? Or, are you?
Roger Waters tonight.... pretty, pretty pumped.
Further tomorrow.
Approaching cold front with possible hail. Should be fun.

I will be DJing for the Justin Jones show on Saturday
I was there that year too, and for that reason I refuse to go back when it's hot out. That was my one Wolf Trap experience.my last outdoor show was so hot i rarely go to outdoor shows anymore. and for wolftrap, that and the rainstorms in the summer. they always happen.
I will be DJing for the Justin Jones show on Saturday
what do you play for that? mellencamp? Springsteen?

Are you supposed to dance when watching a movie?
I would genuinely love to go to that show. Motley Crue's Shout at the Devil tour touched very young me deeply.
If Vince still has his voice, this will kick ass.
If Vince still has his voice, this will kick ass.
Last I checked, he did not. He sounded like a screechy alley cat at the show I went to.
totally agree. the crue destroyed the kiss. played a hell of a set. they came out walking through section 100 and 200 dressed in robes and beating drums with smoke and then went onto to the stage. nice.
kiss was good and it was awesome to actually see them live and see the mixture of fans. rednecks everywhere, i felt right at home, and some very good looking guys, oh my. too much fireworks sounding like sonic booms and sometimes vince's voice was screechy and yes paul does come off as a little flamey of the four members and yes the roller coaster tommy lee drum thing was cool and fuck these venues that try to get away having only coors light / budweiser and charging eleven dollars for a big can. no other options? what, if you had starr hill or something, would you charge fifteen a beer? i saw this one guy near me, that after counting his beer cans, he must have spent almost ninety bucks on beer. but getting out was super easy if you left right when you knew kiss would play what they always close the show with. all in all . . . an awesome show from start to finish, even the opening band that sounded just like hair band nineteen eighties all over again. and being first show of the tour, they totally screwed up the timing of bands and setups. kiss had to rush through their set and paul said from the start they would cram in as much as possible.
Tuesday - Balaclava, Aurobors, Borracho (instrumental), and Above the Silence @ Red Palace (Ben Bones b-day bash)
Thursday - I'm singing at the Video Games Live / music of Zelda show with the NSO @ Wolf Trap
Friday - Kishi Bashi @ U St Music Hall
Anyone have any good recommendations for New Orleans? Going there this weekend to hear some music, eat some food, drink some drinks.
tipitina's is actualy pretty big but about 3-4 miles from d'town on tchop. check out frenchmen street in the marigny across esplanade from the french qtr, that's where the locals hang.. also checkpoint charlies at decater and esplanade. howlin wolf, maple leaf. magazine street in the garden district.
if you weren't at amadou and mariam...well...you weren't there!
awesome
thank seth for bringing them to a club venue!
i wish amadou had taken a few more rippling solos..man that guy can play.
Any of you guys doing the weezer show at the mall and how the hell does that work? We need tickets?
;D
dismemberment plan tomorrow night in baltimore.
oh, wait, no, that's not happening now because the tickets are in a friend's name and now he can't go. they are not allowing name transfers. so tickets are going to waste. anyone have an extra for me please?
dismemberment plan on saturday in fredricksburg.
Linkin Park last night at the Lube, it was good
;D
Both D-Plan shows.
what did you think?
i thought f-burg blew the roof off the b-more show. and its not like b-more show was a bad show at all, but f-burg was just so so so so high energy.
i liked 4 of the 6 new songs.Both D-Plan shows.
how was erykah badu?
Wye Oak / Dirty Projectors.
Show is sold out. DP is supposed to hit the stage at 10:30, and there's a BackBar event at 11:00. Does this happen routinely? It seems like BackBar stuff generally happens after the club show ends....Maybe just a mixup?
live question:
dinosaur jr at the jefferson in c-ville
or
dinosaur jr at the black cat
thank you
been to both, the same distance for me both ways, can't decide. black cat seems more "that style of rock" while the jefferson is just awesome on an awesome walking mall . . . with pizza by the slice.

Lorelei tonight
How was the Lorelei show?
Oh and this would fit better in the Showlistdc thread but the Sonic Circuits benefit on Saturday was cancelled.
Devastating Screen Vinyl set last night. Airiel were very good, too. First time seeing them. They reminded me a bunch of The Catherine Wheel.
She definitely was buried too deep in the mix.
I thought Dot Dash were also pretty good. The only other time I had seen them was at Chickfactor where the bad acoustics in that room in Artisphere swallowed them up.
They started with literally less than ten people in the space. The venue made them start right at 8:30.
Been looking forward to Foul Swoops/Priests/Fell Types for a while.
Yeah the reliability factor of the 8:30/9:30/10:30 rule of thumb is great but it's gotta be a drag to have to play to an empty room. The worst was when they hosted a Sonic Circuits show a few years ago and forced the first act to begin playing before doors.
Not even Steve Lambert's pulled that shit as far as I know.No, but the line to get in to the Sons & Daughters / Holy Fck / A Place to Bury Strangers show at the Hotel in '08 was so long that most people didn't get in until after APTBS was done. Then again, we could all hear the whole show from the sidewalk outside, so it was OK.
As expected, the Blowtel ruined the Lightning Bolt show according to tweets I read. A blown stack caused them to cut their set. Those of us who went to Foul Swoops/Priests FTW.
That is what they get for playing there.
I'll be at the Cellar Door house for Hull, Auroboros & Akris Saturday. Gonna be heavy!
Oooooooh where is this?
I am so over due for an Akris show.I'll be at the Cellar Door house for Hull, Auroboros & Akris Saturday. Gonna be heavy!
Found it. They're not exactly doing a stellar job of keeping their address off the interwebs if that's their aim. It took less than a minute of Googling.
GotchaFound it. They're not exactly doing a stellar job of keeping their address off the interwebs if that's their aim. It took less than a minute of Googling.
yeah, let me phrase that differently. The house address isn't exactly a secret, they just purposefully ask that their shows not be listed on calendar sites (like mine or DCHeavyMetal.com).
Yeah they have had some issues of shows getting too out of hand in the past. Most shows are invite only. If you know anyone in any of the bands playing you're most likely welcome in.
Psyched to catch Hand Grenade Job (http://handgrenadejob.bandcamp.com) again on Sunday.Nice, they have a third song out.
Haha now I'm torn.
I noticed the addition of this: ? Marlo Eggplant, Lexie Mountain, Curse, Rosemary Krust, and Mold Omen - Creative Alliance at the Patterson [3134 Eastern Avenue # A, Baltimore, MD] on Showlistdc yesterday and it looks tempting.

I've seen the JAMC about 3 times. First was in 1992: excellent. 1994: very good. 1998: trainwreck. I bet in that the time that's passed it'll be a pretty decent show.
I would suggest getting there early enough to see the Vandelles.
Come out.
How could you have expected more than bad from that?
I still say My Bloody Valentine wins as far as intense live experiences go, however.
They are OK. But Shannon was such an integral part of the band.
. But then a year later (with Rollins Band opening, who were great), they were terrible, with Exene phoning it in so hard it was pathetic.
Did not know that, though like I said, she was great a year or so beforehand.
Sunn 0))) last night were good but we really did not need 90 minutes of that. They should have wrapped it up with the Attila section. Pretty sure all of us in the room had gotten the point by about then. His presence was a nice surprise.
The feeling as they ended was like nothing I had experienced prior. Felt as though I was floating for a good minute after.

Could the vibrations have done all that?
Also, a friend that was toward the back by the bar told me that a bottle exploded.
That is just absurd.
Is Peter Wolf with them?
There was nothing else in there but earbuds and I am almost certain they were behind the phone. I was fairly close up.

yup, I'll be there too. While Heaven Wept is headlining the show tonight.

Well, there was a change and Primordial was the headliner last night-- rightfully so. Their set totally slayed, and I didn't need to hear any more of WHW than I did.
right, i know, this was their "homecoming" gig (first local show in 20+ years or whatever)-- even the band had announced that they were headlining this one, but that was about a month ago, so things obviously changed. Believe there was one show on this tour (Chicago?) where WHW did get the headlining slot. Just glad it wasn't ours.
Psyched for The Feelies.
Mount Eerie TMRW
Wet Nurse/Priests Wednesday
Make Up Thursday
Metal thing at Comet Friday
Plums/Insect Factory and Public Speaking Saturday
Dirty Three/Magik Markers Sunday
How was purity ring?Awesome. But maybe my experience was different than Steve's since i was up front.
Make-up were fun.
Ian is always a great showman and the band sounded tight. Good energetic crowd too.
Thanks for the tickets, K8teebug! I was able to get some use out of one of them while the other languished in Joe's pocket as he flaked on me in favor of boring ass Grizzly Bear.
Florence and the Machine had the biggest crowd I have ever seen at Merriweather in the 30 years I have been seeing shows there. Food lines were ridiculous. And I like how the police would only let people go onto 29 south when exiting. Pure laziness on their part.
Florence was pretty awesome though. Didn't care for weeknd.
My wife, who is not much of a music fan, loves the Florence album.
Coincidentally, one of her other few musical favorites is Kate Bush.
did Florence wail or sing?
They were a snoozefest back in 2009. People who saw them Thursday enjoyed it.
And go with Corin Tucker.
Yes! Warren Ellis is a funny motherfucker.
Magik Markers were great, too. Weirdest possible setting in which to see them.
That was a fun and exhausting six nights.
Looking forward to sleeping a full two.
Native Cats Wednesday
Saint Vitus/Weedeater/Sourvein Thursday

Sholdn't you guys be over in the "post show banter" thread?
Crocodiles on Saturday
Also, copied from showlistdc.com, a breakdown of artists and venues for the upcoming STPP Fest (Oct 5-7)
Was that the Ladytron show? I liked it.
are Crocodiles the band that used a drum machine? yep, they were boring.Yes. Two guys, two guitars, and one drum machine.
whoa you guys are really on top of my listings-- I just posted those last night. There were still a lot of TBDs on the STPP Fest site.Of course!

I'm starting to wonder if the afghan whigs are going to be playing to an empty room. There are hundreds up for grabs on craigslist for less than face value. It'll be a great show anyways

Anyone go to Mark Kozelek? How was it? I had to miss it sadly.Really good - he played for about 2 and a half hours.

This week for me: Neil Halstead on Tuesday.I really should go to this too. Might if I skip Nate Young/Drainolith/Twig Harper in Baltimore.
Mark gave Gorden a verbal smackdown at one point and hissed "play it SLOWER" and Gorden just sat there, obediently letting Mark do his thing.
here's a review, bearman:

JSBX was awesome. Openers were quite interesting too.
Chain and the Gang Saturday.
Public Image Ltd tonight! If anyone see's a 23 year old guy with a Red Lorry Yellow Lorry t-shirt on, be sure to say hello.
JSBX was awesome. Openers were quite interesting too.Bring 'em back again, or more often, Seth. Please and Thanks. (I had to miss, and everything else I had planned, but I adore them and I bet it was way fun seeing them underground in The Hall. Like old times.)
Doubt Jens will sell out at $30 (really? $30?). Definitely want to meet up! Will let you know if I will be needing a ticket.hm. i dunno where else to price him - he's popular outside of US yes?

lily how was BellX1? (and yes, this: why does everyone and their mother need to tour sept/oct/early november? i can't be at 5 venues at once!)
I don't see anything wrong with Jens charging 30 bucks for the show. Silversun Pickups is charging 32 the same night and he is much better than them. I just realized this show is super early. I don't get off of work until 5:30 and am north of Baltimore. I hope I don' tmiss part of Jens set.
Anyway the fewer the people the better.
You could never pay me to see One Direction or Gotye
Katy Perry anyone :)You could never pay me to see One Direction or Gotye
I didn't pay to see that. Firebutt and I had two free tickets and went for giggles.Katy Perry anyone :)You could never pay me to see One Direction or Gotye

Separately I'm hoping a show at JJ is slightly unnoticed or two far for people to come out (selfishly so it's not crowded and respectful, but also not sold out if I decide to go), Margot &TNS&S's. Would be nice to see them in a small venue.
how was Jens? this was the first DC show of his that I missed, very bummed.I thought he rocked out a bit more when I saw him with a different band in Ireland. I don't even remember him playing guitar at that show either. Although I like his style, and he is endearing musically as are his stories, the stories or his lyrics that are personalized became a bit corny to me after a bit. I prefer my s/s to get a little gritty or rock. The band is talented, musically not my preference for the long haul. Maybe it's his new songs? That said, he is talented, both he and the band played impeccably. Sound crystal clear and amazing - thanks Jens/930! Overall, I don't listen to him all the time now, and don't think that will change. I'd go see him again, but basing on personal preference, most likely wouldn't strive to attend; nor would I pay arm/leg or drive in stop/go traffic for two hours to see him [as I did last week].
f!a! here too. work event might keep me from it as well.Separately I'm hoping a show at JJ is slightly unnoticed or two far for people to come out (selfishly so it's not crowded and respectful, but also not sold out if I decide to go), Margot &TNS&S's. Would be nice to see them in a small venue.
ah, hell, how did i totally miss this show announcement? and i was just there! and of course, it's the same night as st etienne. and i'm already ticketed for that one.
feckin a!
Those stories are always the same as well.oh they are? haha.
I'm driving up from Virginia Beach for Cat Power tomorrow night.
Considering the P-Furs on Monday. TicketMaster shows a 2-for-1 deal, but you need a code. Anyone know where to find that?

Wish I would have known about that! I am skipping it because of lack of show dollars.
Dum Dum Girls on Wednesday. Hopefully DIIV on Friday.
I will have to check out DIIV music as I had never heard of them before.Kind of shoegaze by numbers. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Hey showlist, how do you not have this listed?
St. Etienne tomorrow night.
I was just giving you a hard time ;) You are great with compiling everything. Ami Dang created the event on facebook only a week ago.Hey showlist, how do you not have this listed?
whoops, slipped past my radar. I'll get this one up tonight - thanks.
I was just giving you a hard time ;) You are great with compiling everything. Ami Dang created the event on facebook only a week ago.haha - thanks. It's a lot harder to keep up with everything than I originally thought, with ~2,000 current/upcoming shows on the page at any given time. The big venues are the easy ones, it's all the one-off venues that are harder. So I always appreciate people nudging me to get a show on there that I might have missed!
St. Etienne tomorrow night.
sweets, what itme you plan on getting there? are you going to check out volta bureau?
i'm thinking of doing the jail break out of rockville around 6.15 to catch most of volta bureau.
Deathfix/Soccer Team @ Comet on Friday.
Mono tonight.

Not that familiar with Comet. Do they have fairly standard set times? 3 bands with a listed time of 10:00. When would you expect the bands to play? Thx.
10:20, 11:15, 12:15 roughly.

I think it depends on the venue. IOTA definitely looks/feels like an "after work hangout bar", where the 9:30, Black Cat, etc., really feel more like music venues-- and so the crowd tends to act accordingly. Sure, we've all been to plenty of shows at the Cat or 9:30 where people in the audience were talking, but they tend to segregate more, so the talkers end up in the back, vs. IOTA where it can be almost impossible to hear the band unless you're right up under the stage. (Exception: Bowerbirds at the Black Cat earlier this year, where the yakking was so bad I almost left early.)
But no, IOTA is certainly not the only venue with this problem, nor is Clarendon the only neighborhood where people wander in to a bar after work on a Friday and talk loudly over the band.
Saint Etienne played from 8:40 thru 10 pm.
Great show, but you'd wanna be close...the volume was quite low.
On a side note, does anyone else think it's about time for moombahton to go away forever yet?
11/2 - St Etienne @ The Fillmore (SF)
For those of you (Sweets/Lily1?) that saw them - how was the show? Is their set fairly long? So tired of seeing bands with so much material who can barely eke out an hour.

He was excellent when I saw him at the Black Cat in 2010-- played almost all old stuff (only a couple of songs from his album with Okkervil River). I reviewed the show for the Wash Post Express; if you want to read that, it's here (http://www.expressnightout.com/2010/11/roky-erickson-live-review-black-cat-nov-5-2010/).
they were supposed to start fixing it this morning.They are saying the Metro Gallery will definitely be in business for tomorrow night. If anyone else goes, PM me on here and we can chat between bands!

Gary Clark / Gary Clark Jr reminds me of the time in 2002-ish when the David Cross show at the Black Cat sold out way in advance, and I couldn't figure out why everyone was going nuts over the violinist from King Crimson.
Whoops.

Possibly Cigarette at 52 O ST Studios TuesdayHave you been to that space before?
That does not sound awful. That sounds like the DIY spaces in Baltimore that are in warehouses where people also live and practice their own music and make their own art. What would be awful about that? No bar? Hipsters? Musicians? Artists?
Magnetic Fields, Saturday at 6&I
I'm totally turning into that old guy who just goes and sees his favorite 90s bands when they come through town.

hipster kids + arty kids + questionable music - bars with good alcohol = awful
are folks taking walkies seriously on this? the guy complains that visiting DC = automatic mugging and stabbing. anything outside his cabin is automatically the apocalypse. y'all been trolled.No, Ive been using the internet long enough to understand how it works. But i will ask questions to someone who makes statements against things I like, and doesnt give good reason.

People like to throw out the hipster label. Just liking non-mainstream music doesnt make a person a hipster. Nor does going to shows at DIY venues.
Arty = creative and smart usually.
Not everyone drinks. Not everyone likes to have to be around a bunch of drunk people while they watch bands. If you absolutely need to be drunk to watch your favorite bands, they might suck. You might also have a problem.
(trolling response, dont really care btw)

i like how people think just because i like to have a beer at show, then i have to have a beer at a show, and i have a problem. no, i don't have a fucking problem unless of course the beer they serve is shitty. what a weird fucking concept . . . having a fucking drink at a show. yes, everybody who drinks alcohol is a fucking alcoholic.

plenty of people saw joy formidable at st stephens this past saturday, both popular and DIY. so your theory is silly.
and it's not that people dislike popular bands. people like talking about popular bands because there will always be a conversation to be had about whether someone is genuinely talented or manufactured bullshit.
sorry . . . bad morning. walkonby, you need to stop complaining. yeah right. im trying. i am. the fact i yelled makes me mad . . . the fact it was to killsaly, it makes me mad. sorry.Its all good i was just trolling with the alcohol comments. I dont drink and dont care if anybody else does (i did it myself for many moons and have a very personal reason of why i no longer consume any).

A show of a known band at a church is hardly a DIY show we are talking about. We are talking about shows at people's apartments or art studio.

Ash at DC9 on Thursday
Cigarette were excellent but this Puerto Rican band they played with, Fantasmes, were incredible. Minimal Wooden Shjipsesque psych done really well. Actually had the crowd getting down really hard which near impossible in DC.I am listening to them on bandcamp now and really dig them. They are just what i needed to listen to while working today.

Is he not cool anymore?

I can't imagine a Bob Dylan/Mark Knopler bill coming anywhere near to filling up the seats in the Verizon CEnter.
Magnetic Fields played roughly the same set as the show at the club earlier in 2012 but I enjoyed this show more. Mostly because I had a seat.
Some variation but not much. Too much 69 love songs; not as much creativity in the set selection as I would have liked. Still, great fun show.
I'm in for Dylan.
The last time I saw him at Verizon I was surprised that it seemed to be close to sold out. That was over 10 years ago though - and I don't recall the decent seats costing $150 (after fees.)

I didn't go to the club show earlier this year (actually, I haven't seen them since the 2002 two-day 69LS show in NYC), so I actually liked this set-- but was surprised at how much 69LS they played (not terribly surprised, though, about which ones they chose). Were you at the Saturday show or the Sunday one? I was at Sunday's. The banter between Claudia and Stephen remains one of the most charming parts of a TMF performance.
Man bob dylan has some shitty openers. Well except van morrison...mark knopler might be the worst.

What the heck makes it faux folk? And what does Iceland have anything to do with anything. Beautiful country for sure but I don't see how that effects anything.

What the heck makes it faux folk? And what does Iceland have anything to do with anything. Beautiful country for sure but I don't see how that effects anything.
Whatever best show of the year by far. I paid 100 bucks per ticket. And I think the ones tonight were going for 125 at the cheapest on stubhub.
patti smith this saturday
seems by your very own -not mine-criteria this would be considered a has been...
yeah i agree. wife bought the tickets.
man she really has your balls eh? first she kiboshed your mumfordian dream and now making you see patti smith... what is next? neil young? shudder....
man up buddy....man up. sometimes when people don't have children the wife begins to treat the husband as her child.. you do not want to be that guy.
public enemy on wednesday
this is either going to be fanfuckintastic or an utter train wreck. i'm hoping for the former, obviously. buoyed by their performance with the roots on the jimmy fallon show a while back which was absolutely great. bit concerned now that they've added all these other rappers-everyone gets one song?
red baraat on friday in cheverly (which for those of you that haven't been, has a lovely old art deco theatre. saw another show there a couple years back, i think it was hot 8 brass band.)
What time does an old fart headliner like Neil Young come on at Patriot Center
I'm on fence about Aaron Freeman at Hamilton on Friday.... $33 is bullshit.. but I do remember missing that Ween show at DAR about 6 years ago and I still regret it..
Dont' regret it...it was pretty lame. Last area show I saw was Sonar in mid-2009 I think. That was killer.I'm on fence about Aaron Freeman at Hamilton on Friday.... $33 is bullshit.. but I do remember missing that Ween show at DAR about 6 years ago and I still regret it..

I was at the DAR show, front row... But god awful venue and haven't been back since. Show was decent but nothing like the 04/05 shows at the 930.
^It's great for classical performances and such. Rock concerts, not as much.
A few things:
Am I wrong to be skeptical of bands that play the Black Cat and a few months later, sell out a theater like Tower or Warner, and assume they sold their souls to Satan?
I really don't know why anyone be negative to it other than the long lines for drinks/bathroom.
I meant specifically the covers that he just released.
My fault for not being specific.
I'd hope he doesn't stick to that album and yes, I'd love to hear some Ween material, even if it is obscure tracks.
But I doubt I will go so the point is moot. Maybe if a setlist appeared between now and then, it would change my mind but no way am I going in there with no idea as to what to expect at such a high price tag.
I really don't know why anyone be negative to it other than the long lines for drinks/bathroom.
umm...maybe because the sound sucks monkey balls and it is music we are talking about?
you think that could be it???

930 has fabulous sound.. I can't recall last time I saw a show with bad sound there.
Now we're comparing the sound at DAR to the 930.

I think that makes a big difference... but I wouldn't say the sound at a venue was good because it was good for the 10% with the best seats... I mean 20th row center is, generally, about the best spot for sound.
It is amazing to me how we have this debate about DAR every year or so and there are people out there who think the sound is good. The sound blows! It is not a music venue or built to be one. Is the sound good , sometimes, if you're standing in a certain area? Probably but even a stopped clock is right twice a day! But to each their own.. Of my friends many ignore the place like they do Jiffy Lube.. But until people stop going there Seth is going to keep renting the place.. no incentive for him to build a state of the art mid-capacity venue (3000-4000 capacity which is what the city's music lovers could really use) when he can just book DAR on the cheap and have shows there..
I much prefer DAR to 930 club. You can definitely see better and you have a seat so you don't have people trying to push by you all the time.

ah the old moving the goalposts..
we're not discussing whether they are past their prime or the quality of the show.. you're talking about the "sound"..... the youtube clips from the show demonstrate the sound was good and you can hear clearly every word Jim Reid sang.
You may wish to see a doctor if you couldn't hear what he was singing.. it was crystal clear.
Anyway IMP used to use Warner all the time which to me was pretty much the perfect venue. I don't know why originally stopped using it. Some say Live Nation but I believe they stopped using it before then. I love 6th and I place. They should use it more. Along with Lincoln Theater.

6th & I does not appear to be hosting any more IMP shows-- all of their upcoming shows (http://www.sixthandi.org/EventDetails.aspx?evcatID=1&evSubCatID=66) are LiveNation, WPAS, or Traffic Circle Productions.
Gener is playing WEEN material on this tour with very few of those Marvelous Clouds songs.
Walky feels safe in the DAR hood, hence he loves it!
That is really good to know.

Yeah, I too had to laugh when I read that.
Not commenting on that particular show since I wasn't there but I'd never try to gage the sound for some show via a YouTube clip which, as you noted, was more than likely recorded on someone's cell phone.

Just pulled a BMSR U ST ticket ($15) after seeing the low ticket warning and the convenience fee is $8.75. Lollerskates at anybody jackass enough to pay that. If there are none left by Thursday night, guess I am SOL.

i get your point, but the options are:
1) getting yourself all the way downtown from your neck of the woods (hint: it's way, way out there) to buy an advance ticket and save on convenience fees, *OR*
2) getting yourself all the way downtown from your neck of the woods the night of the show and hope you can see the show.
personally, i'd pay $8.75 to avoid those two options regardless of what face on the ticket it.

7 times! Your ears will never forgive you haha. I have only seen them twice :-( Both times had a band called Abiku opening.
I might end up at the Wind Up Space Saturday. I've never been there but hey, I consider The Pilgrim, Windhand, Serpent Throne and The Convocation a stacked bill.Yeah, I want to go to that one too, but I'll probably go to the Fortress show at the Lab instead. But I love the Wind-Up space, and if you're hungry beforehand, check out Joe Squared (pizza) across the street.
Morrissey tonight. Or as the President of the San Carlos Institute in Key West called him as he introduced Moz when he took to the stage in 1997, "Morrisson!" That was after we had to sing the Cuban and US national anthems. Most bizarre intro to a rock show ever.
Jessie Ware was soooo amazing last nite ;DDid you make it to ASDIG?

Dude, no way I'm flossing! Or even drinking wine with it.. the whole point is he will smell the steak on my breath and naturally die.
considering that meat is murder video last night, he just may have.
Not the best Moz show ever (that was 2007), but still fun to be so close!

Thought he sounded great. Song selection could have been better. That video was a bummer.
Couldn't bear to watch the whole thing, but I guess that was the idea.
The Blonde Redhead show was great. More of a rock show than expected. Not many tracks from their boring last effort. I am not as familiar with their catalog but they played some really old tracks according to Joe.
Ty was GREAT. Oh man, I just loved it. Loved him, loved the band, loved the drummer, loved the set, close to perfect. That's why I go to shows, to see shit like that.
I thought Ex-Cult were terrible. So monotonous and one-note, and the singer's no-tune bark just did nothing for me.
Roomrunner was like a shoegazey Nirvana. Not bad, kind of the epitome of an 'opening act set'.

Ended up going to see Russian Circles tonight somewhat spontaneously.
Rest of the week:
Thursday 2/7 - Gojira? Kathleen Edwards? Brown Bird?
Saturday 2/9 - Warchild @ the Pinch
Sunday 2/10 - Bastard Sapling @ Club K
The Pinch has potential, but the sound was not great-- you could barely tell there was a band playing from halfway back in the room, often a problem with rooms so long and narrow (and it was OVER-packed). Really need to set up some speakers closer to the back of the room. Also, Shark Week took an unnecessarily long time to set up / start playing-- it's fine if you're not going to start playing until after 11 PM, but then don't list 9 PM on your show flyer. That said, saw a ton of local bloggers out at the show (folks from HometownSoundsDC and DCMusicDownload were both there, plus obviously DCHeavyMetal's MetalChris), so that was cool. Way too crowded with hipsters (including some overly-coiffed girl in a cocktail dress-- where did she come from?!). But, I mean, it's a free show, so I can't complain too much.
This week:
Tue - Testament, Overkill @ Fillmore
Wed - maybe Hilly Eye, maybe Taylor Carson / Beanstalk Library, maybe just a night home to catch up on writing
Thu - Retribution Gospel Choir @ DC9
Fri - Yo La Tengo @ 9:30
Sat - Meshuggah & Animals As Leaders @ Fillmore
I think the Warchild/Shark Week show was listed in BYT's top picks which would explain the hipster douche quotient.
YLT tonight...if I don't get lazy and/or kids don't get sick.

Very much a show of killer jams. And a Sun Ra cover!
No. Was that on the Popular Songs tour?
I thought the pacing of the show was perfect. Beautiful mellow set and a killer rock show second. She sounds like an annoying asshole who likes bitching for the sake of bitching.
Oh and the pre-show PA music was great. First times hearing both Toy Love and The Verlaines on the club PA.
The Funk-Punk thing at the club on Sunday.

I was torn between this and the Iceland Airwaves at the Kennedy Center, but decided to go the KC route as I've seen a lot of the bands several times that are playing at the club.

i imagine - they are certainly not the main pull for me, or anyone i'm going with. everything umo produces is fairly forgettable, but i have seen the blogs blowing up that "so good at being in trouble" track, so who knows...
I was at the KenCen Millennium Stage show last night too.

What did you think?
The first band was a poor man's Bjork and I'm pretty sure I nodded off, the second was kinda meh, the third I'd definitely check out again if they rolled thru town.
I read this on twitter last night about foxygen:
https://twitter.com/PykeA/status/306952099390971904
if you want to see a certain band on a certain tour, you don't really have a choice. Either you go to that venue, or you don't see the band.
Boycotting the venue is not going to make the venue change
it's going to mean that you don't see the band.
Everything Sweetcell said.
Place is a shithole run by some of the scummiest people in DC. DC9 is tolerable as a venue but run by the same scumbags. If not going to either place means missing a band I like now and again (it's not like there is a shortage of shows on my calendar), so be it.
I also try to steer bands away from Lambert/Hood Booking when I can.
Showlistdc, you probably know as many people as I do who feel as though they have been screwed by them one way or another.

thanks! although, I've had varying degrees of good / bad attitude over not going, my practicality sometimes can get the best of me. I'm letting it go I guess, as health and day job and to save money are important right now. I have feelings of regret for missing activities, seminars & shows I'd really like to see.

Im not going to be able to go to either, since I am spending money on Ring of Honor Best in the World PPV and then the next day Ring of Honor TV Taping in Baltimore. Way more fun (i you like the wrestling part more than the "entertainment" part) to go to.

yes we know you want a short show... wasn't it you that said 45 minutes was enough?... you must also hate having to clap for an encore...
I'm not sure how I feel about the five encores... it was kinda funny as basically they seemed to say that as long as the crowed wanted more they'd keep coming out...
I'm at the Ceremony / Screen Vinyl Image show too.Great show. Had a lot of fun. I wish it would have started on time, but other than that, no complaints. Venue was nice, just weirdly empty. I must have seen you there since there were only 7 or 8 people there who was not in one of the bands.
You lucky dogs! :-\I know right! ;)

You lucky dogs! :-\Jag you would not have been disappointed. It was nice and loud. And with those four bands, there was a lot of gaze variety going on, so it definitely never was boring. You need to check out Fan-Tan (from NYC) who are releasing an album soon. Really good shoegaze with really upfront, clear vocals (Exit Calm semi-reminds me of the them).
I actually had a blast, it was nice to see people actually not getting buried in 3 minutes hahaha there was about 8 matches. I haven't been to a house show since I was a kid and it was in my neck of the woods so I was double excited. They didn't announce a return date, but I was surprised by the turnout considering Raw is 8 days away. I am also going to that Raw AFTER going to Opening Day. So much partying to be done!!

Feelies were, no surprise, real good at Ottobar...dont miss them at the 930..
they went on at 9 and were done at 12:20... two long sets followed by five encores of 2 songs each... the encores were mainly covers....did not expect them to do seven days (obscure dylan outtake)
nice guys for sure...
thinking about going wednesday...
I already got my ticket for Pig Destroyer! Super stoked! They tore it up at the Ottobar back in October. I'll certainly be trying their Permanent Funeral beer. I'll probably try and hit the Churchkey before the gig too.Agreed. Wonder if Kat and/or the Grindfather will make an appearance on Friday.
Is Kat still with Agoraphobic Nosebleed? I sadly only saw her once with Salome; the friend I went with and I still talk about that show from time to time. It would be wrong for her not to be singing with anybody. What an unreal talent.
Another fantastic Feelies show.
This weekend I plan on going to either the DC or the Baltimore stop on the Popnoise Tour (the Veldt (Apollo Heights), Suzy Blu (INSECT GUIDE), and Panophonic).

The Veldt (NYC)
https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Veldt/154526351270221
https://www.facebook.com/ApolloHeights
Formed by identical twin brothers singer/guitarist Daniel and guitarist Danny Chavis, and rounded out by drummer Marvin Levi on drums and bassist Dave Burris, The Veldt quickly became the "must see attraction" of the quirky art-rock scene in Chapel Hill, NC (which also held bands like Superchunk, Polvo and Dillon Fence in its ranks). The Veldt released their first proper record, Marigold's, on Stardog/Mercury, in 1992. Marigold's was received well enough to earn the band a much more lucrative contract with Polygram Records. The result was the cult classic Afrodisiac recorded and produced in London, England with Ray Shulman (The Sugarcubes,The Sundays, etc.) at the helm. Afrodisiac's under current rumblings eventually rose to cause a storm as the band soon found themselves sharing stages with likes of Oasis, The Cocteau Twins, The Pixies, Fishbone, Corrosion Of Conformity and a host of other seminal alternative bands. After two more records, Universe Boat on Yesha Recordings and Love At First Hate on their own imprint, End Of The World Technologies, Danny left the band preceded by Burris who left the music business for a career in film in 1994 (he is currently the producer for CBS's hit show Survivor). The Veldt continued on in various incarnations until it was put to bed in 1998. After relocating to New York City, Danny and Daniel focused on their new band Apollo Heights. This time around, The Chavis brothers pushed their musical boundaries with more electronica and trip hop influenced back drops to create texture with Daniel's soulful falsetto croon. Their last recording, White Music For Black People, featured the twins and special guests Mos Def and Lady Miss Kier from Delite fame. TV On The Radio's David Sitek handled some of the production with Danny and Daniel doing the rest.
Suzy Blu (members of Insect Guide. UK)

https://www.facebook.com/insectguide
Formed in Leeds in late 2005, Insect Guide ? Su Sutton and Stan Howells ? have been sending ripples through the musical underground ever since thanks to their distinctive brand of DARK, CINEMATIC POP.
After two years of intensive activity Insect Guide's debut album, 6ft in Love, appeared on Leeds' Dead Penny Records in October 2007. The release included a DVD of self-produced videos. Sometimes bizarre and disturbing, sometimes gentle and reflective, the videos complemented the music perfectly; fans of the band's immersive, audio-visual live shows would have expected no less.
An UNCUT magazine 'DEBUT OF THE MONTH', Subba-Cultcha described it as 'a beautiful and idiosyncratic pop album'; Drowned in Sound called it 'AN IRRESISTABLE POP MASTERPIECE... AS DARK AS THE MOST POTENT VELVET UNDERGROUND'. Elsewhere, the album drew favourable comparisons to The Jesus and Mary Chain, Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine.
6ft in Love was followed in January 2008 by a limited EP featuring remixes of two tracks by SONIC BOOM (MGMT/Spacemen 3/Spectrum). The CD quickly sold out.
The first half of 2008 saw the Insects gigging heavily in support of both releases, supporting the likes of Ulrich Schnauss, Pains of Being Pure At Heart and Maps. A mini-tour of the USA in March was followed by appearances in Norway and Poland. Meanwhile, the band's profile in the UK was raised by their cover of Dinosaur Jr.'s 'FREAKSCENE' on RADIO 1's STEVE LAMACQ show and in the pages of the NME ('an amazing cover of Dinosaur Jr.'s finest moment').
In late 2008 ? with the SONIC BOOM remix of 'Frozen' finding a whole new audience on Northern Star Records' groundbreaking Psychedelica Three compilation ? Insect Guide began gigging and recording with drummer Chris Cooper, of 4AD legends THE PALE SAINTS. The result is a new batch of songs that show Insect Guide, far from struggling to follow their debut, are just hitting their stride: still darkly atmospheric, still multi-layered, still beautifully crafted ? but louder, more direct, and more unashamedly 'pop'.
With a MARC RILEY session under their belts and STEVE LAMACQ calling their version of Paparazzi "The Gaga cover that EVERYONE has been asking about", Insect Guide released their 2nd album "DARK DAYS & NIGHTS" in October 2010.

Influenced by the North American and U.K. indie scene, Blackpool Holiday's songwriting style blends smart lyrics with catchy, upbeat, indie/pop music that will have you singing along and leave you wanting more. Following the release of a three-song demo in early 2011, BpH gained momentum by playing several local shows in front of their hometown fans. By mid-Summer, opportunities to play regionally arose, highlighted by a set at the annual Gathering Of The Vibes Festival in Bridgeport, Connecticut (headlined by Elvis Costello and Jane's Addiction). 2012 holds great promise for Blackpool Holiday. In March, their first single, "Seymour," was released on Dare To Be Louder - a compilation cd produced by The University of Delaware radio station, WVUD 91.3FM; They released three new demo recordings which have pushed them up to #5 on the ReverbNation charts (Baltimore Indie bands); and, their Summer bookings include: 98 Rock's Noise In The Basement and the Atlanta, Ga stop on Van's Warped Tour. They are currently writing new material for their debut EP.
Redd Kross friday....very excited!
So Best Coast Show was last night. They played 40 minutes set and didn't do an encore. Perhaps this is why they didn't sell-out the Ottobar until the day of the show. I guess next time through they will be playing a smaller venue.

First two tracks off that new Black Angels do little for me. I feel like it really is diminishing returns with that band both on record and live.Have tix for this but plans changed and can't make it...anybody wants them well below face send me a pm.
You went to this over Aidan Baker? You really are a worthless piece of shit.they played for an hour.

The next time through they are playing the Patriot Center.
I do like the Chelsea Light Moving album but will most likely miss the show. I might try for Redd Kross Friday.
I think I'm definitely hitting Ottobar on Sunday. They got two rad shows in one night! Kowloon Walled City with Zozobra, Ancient Shores & Passage Between downstairs for 10 bucks and a free show upstairs with The People's Temple, Lazlo Lee & The Motherless Children, Creepoid & Other Colors. Other than Lazlo Lee I have not seen any of those bands and think I am in for a treat.
So that Chelsea Light gig was rather swell.
yeah, 2/6/12. And yeah, Kurt Vile was a big draw for that show (which I skipped for the same reason you did).
I think that despite all the good press on CLM, there are still some SY fans who don't know that's Thurston's new band. He seems to want it that way-- the show certainly wasn't promoted as "CLM featuring Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth".
almost made it... just ran out of gas and i figured i'd have a bitch of a time metroing back to falls church... sorry to have missed it..kinda second guessing myself now...i like poorly attended shows....i always root forthe underdog and i think musicians often put on their best in such circumstances
thurston was great last year (the show kurt vile blew chunks at)
i thought with a $15 price the show would do well..
I
but yesterday''s heroes are today's hasbeens...
i would agree that if you passed on the show last night you're not a sonic youth fan...
enjoyed Glen Matlock and Sylvain Sylvain last night...
Syl probaby stole the show a bit...both real nice guys though....
Both probably paled in comparison to the Ramones guy doing bluegrass.enjoyed Glen Matlock and Sylvain Sylvain last night...

Interesting. Still never been to Tropicalia.
I think I will be at that Wovenhand gig as well. Been meaning to check them out for ages.This one is on the chopping block, not sure if I will go or not, but i do want to.
I haven't been to DC9 since before that sketchy incident where that dude died. The Bats will be my first show back. Yes it will take a band coming all the way from New Zealand to play their first show in DC in God knows how long (somebody told me 1993 with Radiohead and Belly a couple weeks back?) to get me back there.Still unsure of when i will go back there...
Trying to convince the husband to go to the Roomrunner show on Thursday night.If you do, say hi! PM me if you are going to go. Roomrunner is always great live, and I really enjoyed this space. Just be forewarned if you have never been, it is probably the closest thing to a "house show" at a "legit venue". Ill just leave it at that. I like shows/spaces like that, but not everyone does (no sound guy (sound is still good though), no stage (band plays at same level as crowd), and no backstage area (so if you want you can easily hang with the bands)).
Kinski played a solid set. The show was under attended, there were maybe 15 people there.
Az, if I do not go to the Soft House show on Friday, I might go to the show at Judy's (big maybe).
How is Judy's; you went there for the Jowe Head show right?
Pissed Jeans will just never completely sell me, I guess.
They were fine but I have seen countless other better noise rock bands to which I cannot help but compare them. White Lung on the other hand killed. What a fucking monstrous set.
Kinski played a solid set. The show was under attended, there were maybe 15 people there.
I would've been at Kinski if I wasn't around the corner at the ICP Orchestra (which was great! and decently attended).
Colleen Green/Thee Lolitas/Teen Liver FridayI am thinking about going to this instead of the Baltimore show.

Furthur in Atlantic City on Saturday.
Holy shit, Goat is playing in Newport Kentucky tonight. That's more than 500 miles away in less than 24 hours. They must have sprinted to the bus after the show ended last night.
And then they have to travel 1,100 miles in less than 2 days to get to Austin.
Five hundred miles isn't that far to drive.
Deathfix/Paint Branch Saturday
Black Whiskey. Sasha Lord's new booking space at 14th and Rhode Island.
Beach House was pretty decent. Lower Dens I enjoyed most. Seems like they have another guitarist. Sounded different than their prior sets. Yo Lo Tengo is one of the worst bands I have ever seen. They should have had someone like Celebration or Wye Oak in their spot. My suggestion to Yo Lo Tengo. Have the women sing all the songs and stop having her play drums. And lose the guitar guy. He is a big negative.
If you lose the guitar guy, you probably lose the drummer too, as they are married.
You'd also lose hte guy who writes the songs.Beach House was pretty decent. Lower Dens I enjoyed most. Seems like they have another guitarist. Sounded different than their prior sets.

+1 for how to destroy angels. i have an extra if anyone is looking.
when it comes to times, does the FSS typically show doors or show start? website says 8:00 PM. i'm assuming opener, so HTDA on at 9:00 or 9:15?
i'm strongly considering amel larrieux at the howard on friday. be a nice change of pace and i've still yet to see her after all these years. i'm feeling cheap though and don't want to cough up $40 for her show at a venue that forces me to spend $10 just to sit down and has bathrooms ill located.

my only complaint was that some douchebag in front of me (I was towards the front) had his cell phone on during the entire time recording - obscuring my vision + blinding me with the light form the screen
stupid kids need to get off my lawn

I won tickets to Foals at 930 on Sunday.
Any of you guys catch the johnny marr show? Wondered how it was.

the less said the better.... ;D
the word karaoke comes to mind... something about him singing the smiths/electronic songs really did not work for me.... i just identify those songs with sumner and morrissey's voices that to hear marr's plain (not bad but just undistinctive) vocals did not work for me... andthe newer songs did nothing for me...
club was crowded though...
i was so not into the show i didn't even buy the autographed poster and i'm usually a guarantee for those...
Fielded/Gel Set Saturday (Killsaly, I bet you would be all over this one)Ill have to check them out...
Give/Priests/Hand Grenade Job/Xanax is on the 17th.The site shows the correct date now. I am planning on being there.
Meant to alert Showlistdc to that.
How was the Breeders show?

Kelley Deal really shined and I had not realized Carrie Bradley would be joining them so that was a nice surprise.

Couldn't agree more. That was probably my favorite Breeders show I've seen. I know a lot of people might not agree with this, but to me it's not the Breeders without Josephine. She is one of the most underrated musicians and her solo LP is one of my desert islands discs. She's got some crazy good bass lines on Last Splash.
So good to hear! I was in Pittsburgh, and was sad to have missed it. Loved their last show at the Black Cat. Did they bring back the Buffy theme song?
Hoping to get over this cold/flu/whatever this thing is in time for Marnie Stern.

I was on the floor on the right. Had a beer spilled on me, countless people who never learned how to respect others' space nearby and a sloppy drunk girl grind vigorously up against a friend ruining "Limit to your Love" for her. Great times!
My patience for sold out Club shows is wearing super thin.
Possibly Bill Kouligas Wednesday
Give/Priests/Xanax/Hand Grenade Job Friday.
Either !!! or Flown Saturday.
the terminal 5 show review had similar instances - i could see how his music style attracts a bit of that crowd. not sure if you saw, but npr recorded last night, so look out for that. should be less of a douchey experience.

I think I'll be at Dead Confederate at Black Cat Friday. I'm pretty psyched Arbouretum got added as the opener!I need to see if they were added to Annapolis as well, they are great live.
Can someone give me a ballpark idea of what the times for this show will be? Trying to juggle early evening plans but I also have to have my son to a soccer game at 7:30 am across town Saturday morning.
Friday, 17 May 2013: Priests, Give, Xanax, and Hand Grenade Job - Comet Ping Pong
Thanks for the info. Is Priests the headliner/12:30 band? How much of a dummy would I be to go to this show but leave before they (or whoever the final band is) played? I have to be up and coherent at 6:30 am Saturday morning and then have a busy day of domestic stuff.

Showlist, let me know how you like Pure Junk! It is supposed to be their first "out of town" gig. I wont be seeing them until June 23 on that Peals/Pure Junk/Roomrunner show.
Tonight: The Pietasters, free show with my daughter....we're bringing our own pie. Should I bust out the DC Brau t-shirt?
Frank Turner is playing in my office tomorrow and the National are doing a stripped-down set on Friday. Should be neat. Saw Guards yesterday and they were kinda boring.The Bats would have been the perfect candidate for one of those shows.
Did anyone else know Thrushes played Club K tonight? I would of definitely went. I don't think they have played in years.
Hi friends, sorry it's been so long! We're planning a small stripped down, Thrushes duo set with Anna and Casey on 6/8 at Club K in Baltimore. More deets to come, maybe see u there??Of course your site had it!
BTW-Review of Widespread Panic from a Deadhead/musician friend who attended the mountain jam in upstate NY last weekend- I've never cared much for them when hearing their material on XM radio jam station. I think Herring is a strong guitarist, but he seems more technical than emotional/expressive. Panic live wasn't great. The sound was just a big mush of wailing guitars and and sax and drums and keys into one big ball of loudness, it was always loud and wailing, little dynamics in songs and between them. I couldn't get the story of any of their original songs. They started playing one song and I started liking it a lot more - it was low spark of high heeled boys cover. That was nice, but not a good sign when only song you like is a cover. Panic is not for me I guess. Other people were tripping out and shuffling in the mud and going "fuckin panic is sick dude!"
Widespread Panic and Panic at the Disco should tour together.

Add that to seeing the Walkmen and Phosporescent this past Saturday in NYC, and that's a summer's worth of shows in one week. I'll probably be done until September.
Buddy Guy tomorrow
Awww, we could have met up.
My friend offered me an extra ticket for free, but lack of interest and show burnout caused me to turn him down.Buddy Guy tomorrow
Stones tonight! Fingers-crossed for good seats, but I'll be happy with whatever we get.
you guys....the naivete!
all they've done on this tour is take the scalpers out of the game by charging what the scalpers would have charged had the Stones priced them below market.. at the same time they've incorporated a new thing where they sell a lot of seats for $$85 and when you get there they tell you where you sit (basically filling in the unsold seats- many of them $600 seats- with people who paid $85).. most of the pit is made up of $85 tickets....
having said that most people who pay $85 won't get good seats... but there are by now enough stories from the tour to establish that you have a chance for a $600 "seat" spending $85...all comes down to luck
If you charge triple figures, you can go fuck yourself. If you charge four, you need to die in a fire.
So is that Franz Ferdinand did with their ticket prices?
So is that Franz Ferdinand did with their ticket prices?
no Kosmo..what Franz Ferdinand did is say if you live in DC you have to pay double if you live in Philly..
Stones prices are constant in every market. Honestly I really dont' care if people on this board hate the Stones but I was tryin to explain what they're doing with the pricing... if you want to hate them go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yada, to answer what you wrote... the fact there are empty seats showing means nothing..theyv'e sold many many $85s and they can fill them in with those.... looking unlikely any more $85 releases.. both Philly shows had none close to date etc.. basically the $85s give them a lot of flexibility.. they will have some walk up purchases today and they will fill the rest with $85s..having said that the thing to watch for are the $150s... there may be some pretty good seats released today for $150 (seats that used to be $600 or $300)...
anyways i ain't going myself...but those that do enjoy it!

I'm assuming the $85 seats are already pre-determined where they're sitting, no? If there are 1,000 empty seats in the 100 level, why wouldn't they release more tickets? At any rate, whether or not $85 seats will be released, the show isn't close to sold out from what I gather.
and Yada this is the backdoor link for the $85s... keep checking. you never know

Just swung by the box office and the not so in the know lady did say that there will most likely be cheap (er) tickets released today, however that could still mean $300 a ticket.
Meh, maybe I won't be attending.

Franz Ferdinand has different promoters playing different venues. Rolling Stones has same promoter both playing huge sports arenas. Promoters can charge whatever they want. Franz Ferndinand is still a lot cheaper than the Stones at a better venue. If people don't want to pay for the prices artists are charging they will lose money but at least they aren't charging 30 bucks and then selling the actual tickets to scalpers so you can't get any at 30 bucks and have to pay money on stubhub. They are being honest what the ticket prices are and you can either buy them or not. Seems fair to me.

this argument about the promoter is a bit disingenous... ultimately the promoter offers them certain money based on what they can get... just like the Stones are responsible for high ticket prices so Franz is responsible for the disparity in prices between Philly and DC..

If you were an artist I am sure you would take the most money you could get from a reputable promoter. Basically it is the audience that sets the prices. If a promoter like Seth can't fill an arena after he pays a band and he does this a consistent basis he will go out of business. The Stones can get the money they get becuase their fans are old and have a lot of money and go to a very limit amount of shows. The band and Seth are trying to make as much money as possible off the show. If they could sell out the show charging 500 dollars a ticket they would.

The only one needs to know about the B&S show, is that a couple forumite bucket lists got shorten... That and Legal Man ruled...
a couple forumite bucket lists got shorten...
bearman was also up on stage.
B&S were indeed wonderful. i can't believe that anyone can walk away from one of their shows without a big stupid smile on their face. stuart was indeed in rare form. i slightly prefer their last show at DAR, but not by a lot.
YLT oscillated between ok and annoying. they had some really nice moments in the first half of their set, but the second half was littered with self-indulgence. kaplan's attempts at guitar-god antics during those 5-minute noise-solos just bugged. it wasn't technically impressive - i can play that shit. if the show was in a small club packed with their faithful i can see them getting away with that... but it wasn't. for me, it was 20 minutes of good music stretched out over an hour.
spent the evening in the company of the boardee formerly known as julian. his version of america lives on. while hanging in the pit we engaged in a hardy game of "spot the non-caucasian"... we both lost. he sends his greetings to miss p, vansmack and walkonby.
once again, got in and out of MPP with zero hassles.
Seth, thank you so much for FWB and the VIP bar. Holy cow did that make the night for me & my buddies. Truly Merriweather is one of the best outdoor spaces now. Great job.
Eros, I'm so sorry I missed you!
I am really looking forward to New Order now. Yeah, I bought tickets. I'm eating my words. :)

YLT are one of the worst bands I have ever heard. The guitar solos are indeed pathetic. If they removed that guy from the band they would improve. I heard this song on the radio the other day that was an obvious "Monster Mash" tune rip-off. I was like I guess this vocalist is so bad that they would never sell enough copies of their song to be worth to sue. Than I heard it was YLT and it all made sense. Worst guitarist and worst vocalist in one person.
I wonder why great bands like Belle and Sebastian and Beach House have YLT open for them.

Totally feeding the troll, I know but...go fuck yourself.
Oh, and it was very nice meeting you Bearman.

Can I just say that it's too bad more audiences aren't like the B&S one.. A one point someone caught up in the moment slightly brushed up against me while dancing, and immediately apologized. I also don't remember late comers trying to barge past me toget up front.
Of course when the pit did break out, it got so out of control, even thatguy wasseen crowd surfing.. it was totally bananas
What do you think the chances are of a cheap lawn seat on stubhub for the dylan/wlico/MMJ show the day of? I live about 2 miles from MPP and want to go, but don't feel like paying 50 bucks as I've seen them all so many times.
Looks like I am officially going! YAY! (Tues - Bob, Wilco, MMJ)...

I'm guessing pretty good... pondering this plan myself.
I pondered that, but they close off the woods now. You can't hang out there. Plus, I decided just to go...
The Monkees was my first tape! Love them!
How can you have the Monkees without Davy Jones? I'd rather see Mike solo anyway.
so how went it, mister video game? see the nerd army, and their parents? i went to one of those, once. the very first one, at the kennedy center. it was the day after the london tube bombing, and my future husband and i were staying in dc . . . crazy times to be a big city that day. killer show, but i love video games. do you like them as well. its ok, we dont judge around here.

I thought both Swirlies and Kurt Vile were great but I was sure glad I brought my earplugs. Also, I had the most annoying crowd experiences at that show that I've ever had. One group that couldn't hold their self importance and a second that couldn't hold whatever substance they were on. Truly annoying. It was a much better draw then I expected as well.I had plugs too. Couldn't handle Swirlies. I stood behind the wall and at times had to leave the lobby and go outside. (As it was for OMD - which I left halfway through and was using plugs.) So funny, the crowd was odd. (luckily I encountered friendly odd ones give or take one or two.) Crowd really filled in as he hit the stage. So hot and found it hard to wait the half hour b/w late sets. Poor friends really wanted to go by 11:15/30 b/c of heat but also they thought the songs sounded the same.
Saturday - Potty Mouth, Revivers, and Young Tryna (members of Priests) at La Casa
Az, are you going to this? I would imagine Epstein will be there.
Edit: Taylor, the Bassist is in that band. Come to think of it, I am unsure if you have seen them with her yet. They have a much tighter, fuller sound with her. You can hear it on the new Priests tape on their Bandcamp.This one?
~East Coast tour dates in late August TBA~From Priests website.
The Bandcamp? Or do they have an actual site?that one!
Oh they do have this too. (http://666priests666.tumblr.com)

i've had great luck coming up 29 (northbound), overshooting MPP, turning around at the first exit, going south on 29, taking the S. Entrance Rd exit, turning left on Little Patuxant, right into the mall, and parking in the parking deck structures (not in the uncovered mall lot). i did this for both the Postal Service and for B&S, got in and out with zero hassles.So the haters can see all the fun!
what "fun" do you speak of? that's a hell of a lot of shit to sit through to see beck.
I recommend the library parking though.
the parking deck structure that sweetcell is referring to is a good place to park, though there are signs that say they will tow...just ignore that.
Wilco/MMJ Tuesday; anyone else leaving before or at the start of Dylan's set?

I enjoyed Dylan's set....I think the biggest applause of the night was She Belongs To Me....damn, that was great.
a side note: i went to 932 just as MMJ was ending and was really dissapointed by the beer selection...stella, shocktop and two really shitty beers.. also corona cans..that semeed about it.. i'm not a beer snob but i was expecting more...

i do consider myself a beer snob, and i'm with ya - the beer selection overall at MPP is bad. goose island IPA is the best thing there, IMO, and it was tasting a little old at the B&S show.
i'm probably in the minority and i'm sure they sell a ton of beer as-is, but i'd really welcome some better craft beer options. at B&S i wanted to drink another beer but there was nothing worthwhile... so i held on to my money.

It was really smelly inside the pavilion too. Maybe they applied fertilizer recently?

given how much 9.30 has improved their beer offerings at the club I was shocked at the lack of options and the parade of mediocre beer - pricy too - $12 for a tallboy of Corona :oright! i'm hoping these comments make it up to those who can do something about it...
Confession: I was drinking bud light lime the last time I was at MPP. ::)

then again, MPP is about being big & moving a lot of product: lots of people, lots of tickets, lots of beer; so maybe cheap swill has been the plan all along. go to 930 if you want intimate & quality, go to MPP if you want big and loud.Confession: I was drinking bud light lime the last time I was at MPP. ::)
you've just been un-invited to the next bottle share.
Domestic Beer: Budweiser, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra Light, Bud Light Lime, Budweiser American Ale
Import Beer: Stella Artois, Becks, Corona, Bare Knuckle Stout, Shock Top, Copperhead Ale, Starr Hill
I guess I would get the Copperhead Ale from this list.

Are Chopteeth any good? My daughter and I will probably check them out for free tonight.

Paul Weller on Tuesday.
I went to Robert Plant on Monday and it was just kinda meh to me. The Post gave it a glowing review.

This is an interesting perspective because I also read that Post review and while I'm not inclined to travel out to the sheds, it made me wish I'd gone to see the show since I'd love to hear older Robert Plant belt out some Zep tunes.
QOTSA thursday in Chicago
Lolla Fri-Sun
;D
The show was great setlist wise. The sound was really poor - the base was too muddy, the keyboards weren't loud enough, and I couldn't understand a single thing Bernard was saying.

Yeah, the sound was dreadful at first - worked its way up to semi-ok by the end.
No worries, seeing them again Friday at Lolla! :)
I'll happily take semi-OK sound and a heartfelt/fun performance over what I've seen from them before. Looking back at the songs they played last night, I'm not sure I would have changed much of the setlist. It was the perfect balance of all their stuff. I think the Joy Division songs were actually lost on a bunch of folks though. "Isolation" may have been my favorite actually. I thought it was outstanding. And the remixed version of "True Faith" turned a song that I've never enjoyed tremendously into something I'd go back to again.
just pulled great orch center seats for . . . wait for it . . .
black fucking sabbath
Maybe SVI on Thursday.you should! I don't think we would have any other mutual shows until Alcest, unless you go to part of scapescape.

andrew wk opening for ozzy. im sure he is thrilled . . . me, not so much. god, i will be wishing for a pinball machine to not so be annoyed by.
Yeah, and now I'm iffy on Alcest since David Yow is going to be at the Cat. We'll see!Maybe SVI on Thursday.you should! I don't think we would have any other mutual shows until Alcest, unless you go to part of scapescape.
Alcest is early! You should do like Joe and Azghal, go to Alcest and then head over to Black Cat! (i think thats doable...)It's certainly doable, but I'm running a half-marathon on the Saturday morning afterwards, so I will need to choose one or the other.
Andrew WK is doing a "DJ set", not performing live with a band. I think that's slightly better.

Bonnie Prince Billy on Wednesday
well that was probably the best Ted Leo & the Pharmacists show of the last 10 years, for me at least.you should of invited me!!!!

agreed, i've seen him 4-5 times and that show was really really tight.
i did have to leave after Bleeding Powers though as 6am was creeping, what did they play when the band came back out?
they played til 12:40.
You missed a solo song and Timorous Me ? (not sure if it was before or after the solo set),
Stove by a Whale....
Phish.

mothership? i, for the first time since i have been seeing them, am not doing the mothership. i would cry, but its ok.
wtf is mothership? This also explains why it's been over 13 years since my last Phish show.
I saw them at the mothership in 98... it was unbelievable.. the vibe at the place was so good...
the next day we got stoned and drove around the hampton beltway three times before figuring out the exit to head south to Winston Salem...
Sidehatch is really to blame more than me as he was the driver..

K8teebug, I get the sense you had an ex that dragged (drugged) you to multiple Phish shows in the 90's and now you resent them. Amirite?
And the Mothership is Hampton Coliseum which as far as I know has been called that since back when the Dead used to melt the place down. I could be wrong.

I have never heard that! Makes sense.
No, I really really liked them. Went to the Great Went. I just associate them with college and got older and wasn't really into the whole scene as much any more....
Roberts showed up to do an encore with Bonnie "Prince" Billy and company at Sixth and I.

This was the most amazing show. I went into it not thinking "God I hope Oldham plays X, Y and Z" but rather "Let's see what he comes up with." It helps that I just read his book, which expounds at great length on his theories of making music. But I was completely in to every minute of this.
And let me tell you, when the openers came on -- two guys with acoustic guitars -- my heart and my boner just sank like a stone. But then midway through the first song, I thought "Wow, this sounds pretty good" and by the end of it, I was absolutely sold. I usually hate soft, delicate acoustic music but these guys were amazing. At the end of the BPB set, I ran into the guy on the left and told him virtually everything I said in this paragraph and he gave me a hug except that I didn't realize he was going in for a hug and so we had this awkward shoulder bump and then we made out.
Yeah but then I changed into a hawk and he turned into an ice trampoline. It was so weird.

Understood... there was a big chunk of the 00's that I lost interest but then I realized there isn't a band out there that puts on a show like them.
But then i would go to Cigarette - Friday, Run the Jewels - Saturday, Whirr/Nothing - Sunday, and then Speedy Ortiz/Roomrunner/Bleeding Rainbow/Hive Bent - Monday... Too much, I am not Joe! :)At least stop by Comet on your way back from Run the Jewels for Hunx and his Punx/Chain and the Gang.
Melvins were so good at the Ottobar last night. 90 minute set... Lots of moshing (me included, which is rare). I loved it though!
If anyone is looking for something to do tonight, hit up the club and see some MELVINS!
My calendar for this week is empty. Nothing until next Saturday, then a nice three day run of shoegaze, grunge, hip hop...

Melvins were indeed awesome last night. Did they have merch at the Ottobar? They had no merch to speak of at the 9:30. JD Pinkus was making jokes about the merch situation during his Honky set. What was up?Wondering, perhaps, if the band decided not to sell merch at the 9:30 because the club takes a cut of merch sales. I'm not sure whether the Ottobar does or not, but that could be the difference. (Note: this is why sometimes when you see a band perform in several venues, they'll raise their prices at certain shows depending on how much of a cut the venue takes. Perhaps the band decided it wasn't worth it at the club.)

Jay-Z and JT Thursday.
JT, on the other hand, I find to be a pop masterpiece. I'm still somewhat peeved I missed his club date back in 2006 (does that sound right? can't remember the specific year.)
you really like justin t, thats what i call him, and you use jt, so you must really like him. interesting, mister wizard.
oh darn you. i love the kiillers. i want to go. darn you.

Myself, Vas, and Azaghal will all be at 2640 for NMH. I am not sure who else was able to grab tickets for it.
Sadly, the club was fairly sparsely populated last night, but I thought both Beth Orton and Dawn Landes were terrific. Very satisfying night of music.
^ weird that Despot is not on the bill...
i love going to different venues and seeing what kind of security they have going in. i would hope for the best of the best, and i dont mind mind waiting an extra few minutes for bag searches and pat downs . . . but sometimes i see places where people just stream on in only to have their ticket checked.
Excited for Noun tomorrow. Still wondering why Marissa Paternoster's genius is not as celebrated as widely as it should be.The middle of the day thing?
We have this Outside Lands thing in town this weekend.
The early evening/late afternoon thing, yeah.Excited for Noun tomorrow. Still wondering why Marissa Paternoster's genius is not as celebrated as widely as it should be.The middle of the day thing?
Nats tonight.
Poseurs Reunion tomorrow.
Hunters were a little SY worshippy but did it well enough.Really? I didnt get that vibe from what I remember of their set opening up for A Place to Bury Strangers... I never went back and listened to any of their records though, so maybe i should.
azag, do you go to all these things becauseHow is going out to see bands (and friends), having no life? Sitting at home every night would be having no life.
a, you have no life
Nats tonight.
Poseurs Reunion tomorrow.
As in Georgetown video dance club?
So what would you consider having a life? Having fun? Socializing? Pursuing ones interests?
To me it would appear he does in fact have a life. i am not sure why you would want to insult his pursuit of happiness. Maybe you are just joking around.
The Killers are an awful live band. Boring and not very good musically. Brandon Flowers cannot sing and is a little tiny dude. Besides that not bad. Had a good pre-game in the parking lot. Should have stayed in the parking lot. Second time I have seen them right up front. I guess I should give up on them. Last two albums have not been very good.

Tue - Pat Benatar/Cheap Trick @ Wolf Trap
I just want to know who the fuck is Giraldo?
;D
Went to see "World's End" this weekend it's fun, especially if your a fan of 90s UK music. "Call The Cops"
Diarrhea Planet tomorrow night and I couldn't be more pleased about this.
Diarrhea Planet was unbelievable. Great sound, songs, stage show, everything. They played like they were on an arena stage. So good. It's shows like theirs that make all this showgoing worthwhile. Such a good band.Dang I was really temped to catch this show last night...but the cards were stacked against me

Chester Endersby Gwazda, Boister, the Lollipops, Wing Dam, Moss of Aura, Celebration (if I dont leave at 11PM I will also go to J.Ek and Chiffon but that is doubtful).
I told you all earlier this year that Diarrhea Planet would take over the world.
Sadly, they took a lot of people who would've been at The Coathangers show away. In a perfect world, both bands would have been on the same bill at Comet. The Coathangers, Teen Liver and Dudes was still a fun time.

I totally spaced on the Diarrhea Planet gig. Damn. So the Coathangers are good now? I saw them as an opening act once (I forget who) and it was one of the worst drunken messes I have ever seen on stage. My buddy saw them open for ...Trail of Dead whenever that was and pretty much told me the same thing. Good for them getting their act together.
I think I'm down for ScapeScape on Sunday. For me, that is hands down the best day.
If you go to Sunday, what bands are you trying to watch? Here is my Sunday schedule (was a few pages back)
Hopefully if time permits (A Guide to Rational Living, Soul Cannon, Television Hill), and definitely Sri Aurobindo, Arbouretum, Mt Royal, Roomrunner, Horse Lords.
I personally feel like Saturday is the strongest for my tastes, but Sunday is great too. Friday is also really strong, but sadly I cant go to any of it...
Pure Bathing Culture tonight
Sunday for me is very similar to yours. Only I will see Deaf Scene as well. If you like post-rock instrumental stuff you should check them out. I will also try to see Whoarfrost. I love seeing Arbouretum and look forward to finally seeing Sri Aurobindo, Roomrunner and Horse Lords live.If I can get to Baltimore early enough, I will definitely check out Deaf Scene. Not sure how early I will actually be able to get there.
I ended up skipping horse lords tonight. I saw 9 bands this weekend at scapescape. Not the 12 I was shooting for, but I got my 20 bucks worth (ended up seeing Chester endersby gwazda, the lollipops, bcbg, rapdragons, opale, raindeer, wing dam, the art department, and microkingdom).

My first show ever in Washington this Sunday (Spiritualized)!
About driving there from Baltimore (and arriving at show time 7:30),
how much time one should add in order to find parking and deal with
traffic (in addition to the 45 minutes Google-map time). I guess this
might be smooth on a Sunday, but how about weekdays? Any special
tricks?
Does anyone know anything about this Spiritualized tour? Are they still touring the last record, will they have the backup singers with them etc?

Sound check from four weeks ago says so... however, this was overseas.

They are your favorite band no?? NO questions asked, you just go!

Spiritualized videos from 9:30 show:
She Kissed Me --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2sm-qF_9vc
All of My Tears --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0i47B0SDXM
I also just posted some Gorguts videos from last week's killer show; that's on SLDC's youtube channel for those who are so inclined.
I loved, loved (x10) the Spiritualized show last night. They are a top-ten band for me, and this was my first time seeing Pierce and his band live, and it completely met and shot beyond my expectations.
Maybe the best show I have attended at the 9:30 Club.

Tue - either Savages or Richard Youngs (depending on set times, I might try to do both)Ill say hi if you are at Youngs! It should be fairly early (8 pm doors, only two artists. Also both will probably play relatively short sets).
either savages or the comet ping pong show tomorrow. opinions are welcome.
and black cat anniversary friday night

Edit: Oh the 930 show is fairly early too... You probably can make Savages then to Young while skipping Terrence's set. I am mainly going for Terrence.
Richard Youngs plays for a while.Not sure why i was thinking he would play 40 minutes or less...
Blondie was pretty blah after, I thought...but that's a tough act to follow.unfortunately I agree...It was fun to see her, but it was pretty boring and the mix pretty muddy

I did really like Atomic and the other guitarist was kicking the jams pretty hard
I really didn't like the new songs at all
Richard Youngs then Scout.either savages or the comet ping pong show tomorrow. opinions are welcome.

Blondie is just not that good live..they never where!
and lets remember Debbie Harry is 68!
its nice to see Clem Burke... he's a really good drummer actually.. has even drummed for Bob Dylan...
and lets remember Debbie Harry is 68!Her voice really wasn't there, but man...she is still hot and showing off her legs like a 20 something

Am I the only one going to Depeche Mode tonight?
looking ahead to next week, apparently I'll be singing a song with Teething Veils on Tuesday at the Velvet Lounge (same song I sang on on their latest record). Should be fun.Awesome! I might come out for that... Is Davis playing drums with them?
Yup, he'll be playing drums with Sansyou and with Teething Veils at that show.
I feel like every show Davis plays lately conflicts with something else I want to see.Oh yeah, that is screaming females night. I might not do anything since that weekend is packed for me.Yup, he'll be playing drums with Sansyou and with Teething Veils at that show.

Well so much for my St. Stephens plans. I thought Cat doors were at 9 before. #SadPandaWas this for the thing that was happening before the Anniversary show?
FLAG at Balt Sound Stage
Really looking forward to this, but worried it might be a let down

man these old dudes :o rocked the house (Soundstage is not that bad of a venue either)
Was so glad to be transported to my misspent youth of heavy intoxication and listening to black flag on my headphones. Nervous Breakdown, Six Pack, Wasted, I Don't Care, Gimme, Gimmie Gimmie and Rise Above.
Never thought I'd get to hear them live
Milo Aukerman also showed up to sing Damaged as the show closer!
Keith mentioned a few times after the show they would need to sign some legal documents after the show and that everyone in the audience was NOT seeing Black Flag, but FLAG
I still would have loved to see Rollins do these songs (and possibly Ginn), but Keith and Dez sure kicked out the jams
TSOL sounded great too
Double Header?!?! On two days in a row?!?!
Friday - Terry Malts at Metro Gallery then head to the Crown for Weekends?!?!
Saturday - Freefest (trying to catch Washed Out, CHVRCHES, Icona Pop, Kaskade, MGMT, and Robin Thicke; then I am off to the Ottobar for Future Islands/Dan Deacon/VideoHippos.
dont you love it when you go to a great show with good energy and pretty people even though some of them talk too much because they are seriously macking on that very nice looking girl, but i forgave him because he was hot, and you meet nice people and you keep your great spot all night . . . and you get a cat shirt? and the opening band was damn good, too.

Hearing good things about Lord Huron, seems like they will be great live
I had tickets to Wed and had to switch to Thursday (love the internet for doing those kind of things)
Went to Deer Tick last night. Hated them beyond belief. One nice thing about being single is you only have to go see bands you like. Same thing with friends. If you didn't have any you could do more things you want to do. Why are the those loners always going on killing sprees? They can do whatever they want they should be happy.
I liked their first album, but haven't cared for anything since. I think I saw them open for someone (Dr. Dog?) and thought they were pretty meh. A number of (all male) people were gushing over them though.Went to Deer Tick last night. Hated them beyond belief. One nice thing about being single is you only have to go see bands you like.

Not the most attractive band so I guess it makes sense that they have more male fans than female fans. But the bass player does look like the kid from Christmas Story grown up.

lol and they don't dress up like they're walking the Oregon Trail.
one of my favorite, personal things about da club, is the lower bar. i love that feel you get when walking down the stairs and how the mood of the entire building changes into some bizarre underground, la or other western california city people milling around with semi caring stares your direction then back into their own worlds of whatever. plus i love the fact that at any time of the super packed upstairs bar, uhmm how about no, experience, i can mosey on down into another life, order a dogfish head on draft with no lines, with only interesting people to wonder about as i wait, for my beer from a super nice and darn tooting good looking bartender, which is awesome.I also think the basement bar is my favorite thing about 9:30. Really cool vibe down there regardless of show.

I didn't think he was implying that he IS single, but that being single is nice in regards to concert going. I would assume he posted that because his wife was the one who wanted to go to the show he hated so much. I could be wrong, but that is what i took away from the post.

Montgomery Gentry concert after the Nats game tomorrow
Isn't that Death in June show this weekend?I was probably going to skip it. Did you want to go?
Is anybody going?
I almost forgot about it.
That $25 Mudhoney price tag is too rich for my blood.I didnt even realize it was that expensive. I dont think I will be there either.
1. I know how long the band has been around.
2. I know where the band is from.
I have NEVER done anything or said anything bad to you. I dont know why you feel the need to attack me.1. I know how long the band has been around.
2. I know where the band is from.
no shit sherlock
makes your comment even more stupid.
::)
Or cheap?come on man...there were " 's around the word cheap. totally different meaning. not sure how, but I know it would make all the difference
25 for Mudhoney is not expensive. How many shows are even 25 bucks these days? Most are 40.
"Seeing Mudhoney frontman Mark Arm pulling records from shelves in Sub Pop's warehouse is akin to finding Iggy Pop at the Jiffy Lube. Really? Arm?one of the catalysts of gr*ng*?has to work a day job? He can't live off the royalties from "Touch Me I'm Sick"? What kind of world is this?"
...
This job consumes a lot of time, and it's been four years since the last Mudhoney album (The Lucky Ones). It takes longer now to create albums because everybody has other responsibilities. Bassist Guy Maddison, for example, is a stat nurse at Harborview, and guitarist Steve Turner lives in Portland, where he deals records, so Mudhoney don't practice much.

hey killsaly . . . i did not mean it as an attack on you. you know, lets get off subject for a second, and discuss your name, this killsaly . . . who is saly and why do you want to kill her? im sure im missing the true meaning, but i like mine, as well. kill saly. but anyway, what i wanted to say, which was really directed at holy than thou azag, anyway, was that artists should charge as much fucking money as they want. always. people will pay it. some people will some people wont. if you art up the art of the art, you can charge bullshit prices for it. that is part of the process of art. you consume it for what ever reason and you pay for it. the paying for it is part of the high of it, the art of it. money and the reason to consume is art in itself. let bands be who they want to be. dont judge them for wanting money. i want money. you want money. seth wants all our fucking money.
you know, i just reread the last page again . . . and realized it was all hutchs fault. he put this idea into my head that you two were talking about how a certain band wasnt worth their ticket value, and maybe you werent talking about that at all. azag probably just ran out of money but will get a free ticket anyway and you had other plans, and hutch made me ramble on like an, like a, person who still believes that about bands and art and money and all that, but good lord i need to stop letting hutch control my mind and wait a minute or two before posting. im sure seth enjoyed that part about wanting all our money, though.
Geez.
Two full pages of arguing just because I said I wasn't going to pay $25 for a show.
Really can't predict what sets off this board, eh?
And did I miss something about free tickets?

Was this back in the 80's?
I personally don't attend any concert that costs less than $40. I don't want to see the kind of rapists and scumbags who can afford to come to shows if they're only like $15. Disgusting.
Think that will get them riled up?Probably not, too transparent but sometimes you throw bloody fish out there to the sharks just to be nice and feed them, ya know?

Should I bring a rape whistle?Don't be absurd. That would interfere with the performance.
I'll be going to DCheavymetal.com's 4 year anniversary party at the Fillmore on Thursday. Pretty big place to host a few local metal bands (and one underground national group).
Since my plans for today were postponed, I am going to choose something else to go to this week.I'll be going to DCheavymetal.com's 4 year anniversary party at the Fillmore on Thursday. Pretty big place to host a few local metal bands (and one underground national group).
I'll be there too! likely helping out at the merch booth.

Does anyone know if they list 'show starts at 7:30' does that mean the band hits the stage at 7:30 or doors open at 7:30

Hoping to catch a screening of the new Robert Reich doc (http://inequalityforall.com) on Sunday before Superchunk. Missed it at AFIDocs.He's on Bill Maher right now.
I'll be at Empire for the Katatonia show tonight. I'm more excited about the opening bands Cult of Luna and Intronaut though!

Photoshop it. Put the person's name you want to give it to on the ticket print out and there you go.
they have a master list ..... they will match the name on the ticket to their list.
that's what they did at the Jeff Mangum show (same venue).
Anyone has an extra spot (1 person) for NMH in Baltimore? Or the names are already on all tickets and not just the person who bought the tickets?
I tried to get tickets, but I when I got to the checkout page, I learned that MissionTix does not sell to non-US addresses. Now that I am working a few meters from the venue, I am still upset that I can't go (but yes, I have a ticket for the Washington show).
Maybe if you explain that you are a communist like them they will let you into the show.
I was going to do my usual bring flask into 2640 space and buy a coke and then poor liquor into coke. But it says on their site they will kick you out if you bring alcohol in. I don't want to kicked out of the show. Hmm oh the choices we have to make in life.

It is *possible* to enjoy a concert without alcohol or drugs.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: We regret to announce that the GOP shutdown of the federal government has forced the cancellation of the ZOLA JESUS show at the Hirshhorn Museum on 10/25. The Hirshhorn's statement below:If I can recognize you from your twitter picture i will say hi on Saturday Haggis (I plan on being there from Peach Kelli Pop to Weekend)!
"Due to the government shutdown, The Hirshhorn Museum will be unable to proceed with the October 25th After Hours as planned. If you purchased a ticket you will receive an email with details on how to claim a full refund. If you do not receive an email from the Smithsonian, please call 866-868-7774"
edit: yep it's cancelled due to government shutdown...they announced this the day the government is opening back up. what the fuck
Hey all, appreciate the sentiment. We are as disappointed as you. We will be moving the show....to next year. The Hirshhorn is a sacred space and was chosen deliberately for this performance due to the sound logistics and delicacy of Nika w/ string quartet and conductor. To do it in any other space would be an artistic compromise we do not wish to make. We will do it next year, we promise! Come to CHGO or Asheville on 10/24-26?
I notice Franz Ferdinand has been playing 12 song setlists...James Ford is going to be outraged at the purported set length of this concert he never would've considered attending to begin with!

I'll be there regardless...
Also for some reason they way Alex broke out of the "I Feel Love" bit of "Can't Stop Feeling" was spine tingling.
Yeah FF was great last night, definitely not a band content with just reproducing their studio recordings live. Also, interesting to note based on their older setlists they even mix up the order of their song from night to night. Always nice to get a career spanning setlist as well.
For me the highlight was again the extended version of "This Fire", really way into the "dub reggae" breakdowns in that 7 or so minute performance.
Also for some reason they way Alex broke out of the "I Feel Love" bit of "Can't Stop Feeling" was spine tingling. Really can't go wrong with a solid hard driving rhythm section and jarring guitars. And of course they do the slow/fast so very well.
Liked what I heard of the opener Frankie Rose, heard touches of Lush, Primitives and Cocteau Twins. Almost a perfect opener for FF.
FF was spot on. Very very tight musically. Kind of a strange move to not play your comeback single on a tour like this (I like that song!).
the first encore song was supposed to be a new song .. right words or the strawberries song i think (i'll chec k my setlist later) but evidently they called an audible and gave us jacqueline... i'm guessing becuase when they played one of the new songs earlier nobody knew it..
edit: confirmed.
This was my first time at the Strathmore and I was blown away by how nice it was. A beautiful room with near perfect sound. No drinks at your seats is kind of a drag, but I guess I understand why they do it there. One odd thing - did anyone notice the burning smell for a good part of the show? It smelled like something had gone terribly wrong in the kitchen.
FF was spot on. Very very tight musically. Kind of a strange move to not play your comeback single on a tour like this (I like that song!). I hope IMP can book more shows like this there in the future (kicking myself for missing Sigur Ros there way back when).

Friday - maybe the Water/USAA Pleasuredome early show for the Gonzo beer/art thing in Baltimore; Probably the Chiffon/Weekends round robin show at the Crown later that night
Sunday - leaning towards Kurt Vile at the Ottobar
How was NIN?
Godspeed last night was awesome, well worth the 6-hour round trip. They played a new song (35-minute "Behemoth") which is on SLDC's youtube page.
How was NIN?
valid question. any takers?

I can tell you about GYBE, but I left after that :o I must say that this live version of Behemoth in DC, with the drums in the arena, is probably the best I've seen, even if that's not my favourite song. The crowd was also nice for GYBE. Only traffic and ticket box office was a bad experience.
So apparently GYBE played the same set in Philadelphia and Charlottesville, so it's good that I only went to one of them (+DC opening act).

He meant gybe at union transfer ...headlining gig...same setlist as charlottesville.Oh yeah, I see how he meant it now. Yes, correct. Sorry for the confusion!
sparks hopefully
Add the Fiona Apple show to the list... just got a pair for free through FWB.
Thanks 930!
Pearl Jam solid as always last night, first time ever playing in Baltimore, an almost three hour show. Eddie was very energetic through and the band ripped through some of their "punkier" numbers i.e. "Spin The Black Circle". Straight ahead rock and roll doesn't get much better than Pearl Jam live.
One interesting note is that fans in the GA pit were very respective of others personal space, half expected the beginning of the show crush to cause me to leave my spot, which was about 5 rows back from the stage. But, was able to stay put for the entire show. No barging for the front, etc taking place. Except for a couple people even the picture taking was kept to a minimum...
Sunday - Kurt Vile/Beach FossilsDid anyone go to the Kurt Vile show? I ended up having to skip it...
been hearing that is a show to go to . . . a total jerry tribute show, i think
your call for cover album? mine is appetite for destruction. i heard that mentioned weeks ago as a wish list call, and thought . . . oh fucking yeah.

There are a ton of "Phish hints at" stories for Halloween, but I'm going with "Sports" by Huey Lewis and the News. I can't believe those words would ever leave my mouth, but I like the case in this article:

I've said it before but this really is a dead band walking... their last few albums have been horrible... trey needs to get back to the hard drugs or something...maybe gordon needs some underage chicks.. i don't know what happened to these guys...trey's last solo album.. the one with the green cover is HORRIBLE.
its been commented on many boards/forums just how easy it has become to get a ticket to see phish... even a place like hampton..
there is no magic with this band left...

Billy Breathes, I think, got good reviews when it came out.. and that was their last good album.... a very good album.. on some days a great album
I really like the TAB album too.. the one with all the horns..
somebody wrote it on a board: if you go out on haloween dressed up as yourself its pretty lame
this was a very very bad move for Phish I think...we know they can't write songs anymore..now they can't even cover other people on halloween? what is left??

Ok... well, Billy Breathes came out in 1996, so this conversation can probably just end. If you haven't liked anything Phish has done in roughly 18 years, I'm not sure why you're concerned about what they're playing on Halloween.

cause i like the cover albums which they do on halloween, right?
waiting for columbus..man that was cool
i can't help it they can't write songs anymore dude but if you enjoy them great
but when you really like a band for a while.. mid to late 90s... and then they really suck.. well you just keep hoping they won't suck......its a pretty normal response..
but yeah i ain't buying their new one and i'm not going to see them again.. i tried one of their MPP shows a few years ago and it sucked..
unfortunately i think some phish fans are just in denial...
I'm with Hutch. Billy Breathes was their last good studio album. I went to see them for the last time in 2000. I just knew they were done and I was done with them. I always like to see what they cover for Halloween though because they're still good at that. I bought Farmhouse and listened to it one time. It was terrible.
I'm glad they still get along and it's nice knowing there are still people out there dancing around, but they are not innovators.
But, I've also been done with the band for a while.

Anyone want to be my plus one for Lady at the Howard Theatre? Although it will be interesting as one of the two main vocalists have left at this point.
Also DJ the J Roddy Walston and The Business show and attending the early Toad The Wet Sprocket show same evening.
So how many are going to My Bloody Valentine tonight? Vas, Az, and myself are making the trek...
Also, this next week is pretty light on shows.
Wednesday - Chelsea Light Moving/Chain and the Gang at the Ottobar
Saturday - Future Islands at Metropolitan Kitchen in Annapolis (4th time this year!!!!)
13 Chelsea Light Moving @ OttobarSee you there! I will be there early for that one (you can meet Azaghal1981 too, he will be with me).
Ugh, I was going to be at the show but something else came up. I can't believe it's not sold out either. Be sure to stand next to the speakers. The show they played at The National is still on one of my favorites.I had tickets to the Richmond show, but foolishly sold them (I had a flight out of BWI at 6 or 7 the following morning). I still regret it.
;D

Not as loud as the last couple tours which was kind of nice. Easier to hear what individual members of the band were doing. That included vocals. They had a few tech problems which resulted in a few false starts and a shortened "You Made Me Realise." Kevin was clearly pissed. Guitar techs probably cried themselves to sleep.
[I can't believe it's not sold out either.

Things just aren't as popular anymore. MBV hadn't played Philly in 22 years and they barely sold out the Electric Factory. Apparently some of those Pixies shows have sold out (but without Kim Deal, Lord know why...) but not in Philly. Fred Armisten had to move his show from the Factory to Underground Arts because of slow ticket sales. And with Portlandia, he's like the comedic Lou Reed of the 21st century. Even the new Arcade Fire album has landed with a resounding thud. Whilst blatantly trying to be the next U2 has always been unseemly, I bet Win Butler never thought it would be this unprofitable.

well, I think that's the way the entire tour is billed, especially since he's playing all Soul Coughing material tonight.
I'm short, wear glasses, and I'll either be wearing a ShowlistDC hoodie or a Maryland DeathFest hoodie.
A couple maybes...I ended up skipping these two to go to Mazzy Star/Psychic Ills for free (thank goodness it was free, Psychic Ills were great but I was not impressed with Mazzy Star and left 30 minutes into their set).
Multicult/Psychic Teens/A Guide to Rational Living/Seaton XOXO at the Crown tonight
Danny Brown on Sunday

Only one this week: Animal Collective on Sunday!!! I finally get to see them this year (I was one of the ones with a ticket to the first of the three summer 930 shows, the one that the club lost power at before they could play and we all got refunds).
What was wrong with it... Nothing really, I just didnt like it. I thought it was incredibly boring and I even commented to showlist during the first song that I didnt think I could take more than 30 minutes of it (I think I was there for 40). It was fine, but it just didnt appeal to me. I am sure a lot of people had the opposite opinion; Joe and Emmanuel both thought it was amazing. Joe told me I would have liked the end, when they cranked it up a bit, but it was too little, too late at that point - as I was already at my house by that time.
(and as Az said, I am not a fan, and that set did nothing to turn me into a fan)
I do like some of that type of music (like Low). I didn't, however, like Mazzy Star live.
to be fair, killsaly had already planned to leave early even before they went on stage...I planned on leaving early only if I didn't like them. If I was enraptured by their music, I would have stayed.
You do not like Low?I do like some of that type of music (like Low). I didn't, however, like Mazzy Star live.well that is unacceptable!
kidding kidding.. ;D
How did it sell? I was a little surprised they played there. Thought it was too big.
Hardly any talking from where I was standing (about 15 feet away center). I can imagine lots of talking in the back? I was quite afraid of a walk out but overall, great respectable audience. She did make a hand gesture in the middle of the set to someone who was taking a picture with flash...
I was too young to see them in 96 and I'm glad I finally got to see them.
Great setlist, too...Halah and Blue Flower were my favorites.
Audio recording coming soon...Emmanuel recorded the whole set.
Did you get your Dinosaur Jr ticket? It sold out a couple of days ago...
Did you get your Dinosaur Jr ticket? It sold out a couple of days ago...This makes the Dino Jr./Showlistdc's show dilemma non-existent now.
No shows this week, in fact until Goblin and Dinosaur Jr. in December.
Since Goblin is an "early show", I thought I could probably make it to Howe Gelb later. But now I see that his show was removed from the Iota calender (?). It is also not on his calender.

very tempted for goblin Friday...but 6pm doors! yikes
^ there is a late show...it happens often. I guess DC has a shortage of venues and the only solution is to do early/late shows.
Awww Yeah...now the proud owner of the exclusive ShowlistDC bottle opener!

Why would I go to anything in that city?It was a simple yes or no question.
You made quite a few assumptions in your post.
DC's dead on NYE.
I want to see Lee Ranaldo in Philadelphia (01/08) and maybe Howe Gelb in Washington (01/11) but I am not sure if this is healthy :P

No Dougout show for you?no... Only because I am already going out on Thursday and Saturday. If I end up skipping the Thursday one then I might go to the doug out.
Scintillating reading! I hope nobody ever proposes to delete this thread!*rubs chin*
Cowboy Mouth tonight!
The Smithereens tonight. A tradition unlike any other.
Pixies tonight (for the first time! :-\)Pixies kicked ass in Philly Friday. I didnt want to go to the DC show because the venue didnt seem very rock and roll (it would have been nice to have a chair to put my coat on).
Neutral Milk Hotel friday

Ash on Thursday at a tiny venue. I could be the only American in attendance.

Also, seeing Tommy Wiseau at 'The Room' viewing last night was just as good as advertised.
they played an even smaller venue in DC last year at DC9 and did not sell it out!

pretty much the only thing in the next two weeks.
yeah!Have fun! If I don't see you its because I went to Metro Gallery to see Cities Aviv, Abdu Ali, and Mind Dynamics (since I did just see Sebadoh so recently...) and NOT because of whatever joe tells you (avoiding you guys, or whatever) :)

Fri - Chiffon/Abdu Ali/Schwarz at the CrownHopefully i can make it out to this and also the PA benefit show at Holy Underground (A Guide to Rational Living, Urine, Like Patterns (Bret from Rommrunner side project). The venues are so close to each other I think I can go to both.
also, Scuba is doing a DJ set at U Hall...free before 11 PM. He probably will go on at 12 midnight.
would like to go if Emmanuel wants to do a late night in DC :o ;D :P
I don't really care if people go to Pizza Underground. And I really like Cibo Matto! They make me smile.I also like Cibo Matto. I'm just saying take whatever complaint a troll makes about Pizza Underground and tell me how that same complaint doesn't apply to Cibo Matto. And yet no one is making that argument because its not as incendiary.

was weather permitting . . . and how was it? i would like to see that show, for i have not had a night out in such a long while, and seeing how im attempting to up my work load, i doubt i will see the light of day any time soon.

I had plans to watch the Final Four with a buddy but the idea of missing Rocket from the Crypt on Saturday is just slaying me. Part of the struggle is having to troll CL for tix because I was late on that. Goddamn they are so fun and good though that I feel like I have to try and make the effort.

that is a tough one cause it took a while to sell out
my theory is that when it takes a while its cause its not resellers but real fans..
just buy a tcket on stubhub...only 26.90 right now..should go down

WHAT?? Is the pregnant wife allowed out of her bedroom???
Went to the Orioles game on Sunday as well. I don't understand your comment. I never said my wife didn't go to places during pregnancy. I just don't want to go to Sweetlife festival where people are bound to be running into people constantly and people will most likely be smoking everywhere. Which I dont' understand as Howard County law prohibits smoking in public and MPP seems to not care about it.Itzhak Perlman - Saturday Night.WHAT?? Is the pregnant wife allowed out of her bedroom???
I am not really interested in seeing bands right now as my wife is pregnant and can't drink and is grumpy so shows don't sound like much fun at the moment.

See you there Emmanuel. Not sure what time azaghal and I will be in Baltimore, but it should be plenty early if you and vas want to meet up for food. I don't want to miss anyone on the lineup though...
Maybe you using your wife as an excuse to not go out to those shows, and then not mentioning anything else, made people on here think you were on a show break because of your wife. I have no idea.
Plus you did say what I quoted earlier:
"I am not really interested in seeing bands right now as my wife is pregnant and can't drink and is grumpy so shows don't sound like much fun at the moment."
So what shows are you going to next week? Or the rest of the month? Or is the answer "none, because my wife is pregnant?"
You don't like the Flying Eyes or Jowe Head? I definitely don't want to miss either... Well, I don't really care about Jowe Head, I saw him last year, but I don't think Az wants to miss him.
The Flying Eyes put on a hell of a show. It has been a couple years since I saw them.
Right now I have zero shows planned to attend. If that changes I will let you know. I do have Arcade Fire tickets that I need to sell as I won't be able to attend that date.

I'll be at Iggy Azalea tonight. Curious to see what her live show is like. Have been obsessed with her for like 2 years. Last time she was in town she did some fashion show and I was busy. Ended up being at Marvin like 30 minutes after she had stopped in to eat. I was distraught.She also just guested on the new Ariana Grande single which is going to turn into the song of the summer 2014. It's already blown up everywhere.
I was surprised to see it sell out. I also just found out her songs are played on the radio. I guess that explains it. I hadn't realized she's made it that far...
Really liking what I have heard of that Taiwan Housing Project stuff.You know, I really think we should worry about our homeless people here in America and let Taiwan take care of Taiwan until such time as everyone here has housing first.
http://gawker.com/iggy-azalea-is-raps-best-drag-queen-1567858602This is pretty funny. I always liked her rap voice and her real voice. I think both are sexy, although SOMETIMES her rap voice can be annoying. Her mixtapes are better than her album, but she definitely has an amazing attitude in her music.
Tonight: Slint @ Ottobar
Tomorrow: Nels Cline Singers @ Wind-Up
Sunday: A Minor Forest @ DC9
Crowd at Ottobar for Slint was the worst I've seen in a long time. I can't believe these 10 guys paid 35$ each just to have fun annoying other people. Anyway, it was a good choice to also see Slint in Philly, whih turn out to be much better :-\
I didn't have any problems with the slint crowd. I was in the front right area of the stage
there was definitely a mosh pit, and it was definitely annoying and stupid.
there was definitely a mosh pit, and it was definitely annoying and stupid.
Yeah, the mosh pit seemed quite aggressive, I saw them pushing people violently from the back probably just on the purpose of annoying the people standing still. From their comments and constant laughing, I think pretty much everything they did was directly to annoy the "too quiet" people.
Thought the crowd at The Both was great! Good show.

Tell me about it, I'm normally fast asleep most nights before they are due to hit the stage. Might be doing an early leaving walk of shame for this one
On Saturday? Gold Bears is (supposedly) doing an in-store on Sat @5pm in Richmond I'm going to. Seems weird to risk getting stuck in traffic and miss a paying gig to do a free in-store in RVA.Yes, this Saturday.
I went to the free Arvo Part show yesterday at the Ken Cen and it was awesome.
whooooa! Was seated two seats from Arvo Part at the show tonight, and met him again at the Estonian Embassy part afterwards.

Billy Breathes, I think, got good reviews when it came out.. and that was their last good album.... a very good album.. on some days a great album
I really like the TAB album too.. the one with all the horns..
somebody wrote it on a board: if you go out on haloween dressed up as yourself its pretty lame
this was a very very bad move for Phish I think...we know they can't write songs anymore..now they can't even cover other people on halloween? what is left??

Another rock act, Phish, nets its highest-charting album since 1996, as "Fuego" bows at No. 7 with 32,000. That ties with 1996's "Billy Breathes" as the band's highest-charting set. "Fuego" is Phish's 32nd charting effort, it?s first top 10 since1998's "The Story of the Ghost" (No. 8 peak) and the first studio release since 2009's "Joy" (which debuted and peaked at No. 13).
NYC. Free show Friday.
Sorry for the confusion.

Queens of the Stone Age/St. Vincent Thursday! Can't wait!
Of course, the last two shows I had tickets to were postponed, so I'll just be glad to see a show I bought tickets to this week.
I just CANNOT WAIT for LOUD ROCK MUSIC.
We're on the right orchestra a few rows back. Pit too crazy for me!
Queens of the Stone Age tomorrow. It'll be my second time seeing them; the first was at Rams Head Live in 2007. I'll be in the pit as well :)
It's not a bad obsession, bearman!
This week and next:
Sweet/Keene @Birchmere
Baseball Project/Minus 5 @Hamilton
Beck @Merriweather
Kooks @930
& Thinking about the Ryan Adams/Jenny Lewis/Dawes show in Camden, NJ..anyone been to the Susquehanna Bank pavillion place? Good/Bad?
Will be my 5th!Queens of the Stone Age tomorrow. It'll be my second time seeing them; the first was at Rams Head Live in 2007. I'll be in the pit as well :)
I think this will be the 12th time I've seen them. Yeah, I'm kind of obsessed.

I shall be there! Looking forward to adding to my concert poster collection :D I'll be down in the pit or up in VIP...
Also, my friend got upgraded to "VIP" via her Friends With Benefits and asked me to join. It says there's a special viewing area, does anyone know what else this comes with? She was saying there's free booze and a free poster.
Free booze??? :o :o :o :o
What the fuck are you talkking about Bearman? Did you miss the Open Bar FWB VIP area??
;D ;D ;D
I was supposed to go see them at the 9:30 Club a different time but they rescheduled the show and I couldn't attend the new date. Can't remember when that was though.
This will be my fifth time seeing QOTSA. First saw them at the HFSmas Nutcracker in 2002. That was also the year James Brown played and was backed up by The Pietasters.For a radio station concert, that was a totally great night. Zwan, Coldplay, Boxcar Racer, NFG, Vines, Distillers too.
What the fuck are you talkking about Bearman? Did you miss the Open Bar FWB VIP area??I'm not sure, she said she found something but it was listed under "Merriweather VIP", so I don't know if that's different. I had no idea, figured I'd ask here.
;D ;D ;D
It's probably the bar area most of us were invited to. No free beer...but I am happy with closer bathrooms.What the crud. I didn't get an email. ???
So can you actually see the stage from the VIP Deck?
Any one know the set times for the Fort Reno shows

Old 97's are always great. TS played on their new album, he probably joined them onstage.He did a clash cover with them but that was it. Fun show but I'm not a big enough fan to give you a setlist or anything for the 97s. They played around 20 songs, ended the main set with Doreen as one might expect.
No, I didn't go to the show. But that's never stopped me from commenting.Old 97s/Tommy Stinson tomorrow

and catching up on VEEP. So, there's that.
No Nick cave for us. My husband fractured his ankle playing softball. Hoping he doesn't need surgery. Luckily, our friends are in attendance.The ankle is the worst, I broke mine 2 Xmas's ago, just getting the mail after a light snow.
My show luck lately has been for shit.
no papa won't leave you henry (would have been great after lyre of orpheus encore), nice piano set in the middle. He's just the best frontman going today (whatever age).
Thanks. We're both pretty bummed, but luckily there's good stuff on Netflix and OnDemand. Watched Snowpiercer, Battered Bastards of Baseball, and catching up on VEEP. So, there's that.First, and foremost, I am sorry to hear of your husband's injury. We can make him an honorary boardie so he can join the ranks of the rest of us who spent/are spending part of 2014 convalescing. :(

I think it's too bad that they get the tag of being a novelty or a gimmick because last night's show was great, just a cacophony of sound. Violins, trumpets, trombones, harps, piano, guitars, four stunningly gorgeous back-up singers, it was amazing how good it all sounded. I can see where the "UP WITH PEOPLE" vibe can grate after awhile, but I've always been impressed by how much they're an actual band with good songs.
Their covers of "Porpoise Song" and "Live and Let Die" fucking KILLED.Who did it kill? Are the Polyphonic Spree wanted for murder now?

I saw him a few times too. I was surprised that he was not particularly tight on solo piano. I know he is a composer, but I expected that songs he wrote 30 years ago had many years of practice. In any case, I still prefer to see the composer playing than a "cover" artist, as we would say for rock music.
I would prefer to separate the idea of going to shows and supporting foundations, but I guess I am free to go or not.

Limp Bizkit showNo offense to your friend, but I'm not sure I want to see the people who want to see a Limp Bizkit concert circa-2014. Hell, that fanbase was a pretty lowlife group of degenerate date rapists in 1999; I can only imagine that demographic hasn't exactly aged like fine wine.
It looks like I am adding the BLVCK Ceiling, MGK, and Limp Bizkit show at the Fillmore to my show calendar for the week. I am friends with BLVCK Ceiling and he put me (+3) on his guest list... Should be an interesting time.Holy CRAP Limp Bizkit is doing a real life concert in 2014!?
I would not pay anything to see Limp Bizkit, but plan on staying for the whole show to people watch and see how bad it is (the new LB song I heard was probably the worst song I have heard all year).Yeah, if I was there free for a legitimate reason, I would absolutely stay and people watch.
Holy CRAP Limp Bizkit is doing a real life concert in 2014!?I feel like several of us meeting up and going to this simply to snark about the crowd would be the most 930.com thing ever to 930.com.
Man, I want to go just to see how bad it is. Isn't Fred Durst like 50 now? Just stop, dude.

LONG LIVE FRED!!It always pissed me off to holy hell that he wore shorts while preforming. That is just not the professionalism I expect out of my nu-metal, sexual-assault-soundtrack auteurs.

Wow this was way better than expected! I was already going into it thinking it was going to be great, but this really was one of the best movies on music/creativity/storytelling/the magic of a intimate live performance.

Placebo ruled.By ruled I meant: played a 20 song set that featured a good combination of new and old songs; an enthusiastic crowd of fans; good sound (though a teeny bit heavy on the bass, not the best that I have heard the Fillmore sound, but still good); not all of the way sold out, but far from empty, I had room to breathe; 13 (in bold below) of the songs blew me away and the other 7 were good); played as a six member band instead of just the three members, so nothing had to be left out or played via backing tracks on any of the songs; and they had a good light show.

A fucking Limp Bizkit concert. I can only imagine how much ridiculous shit I could log into my brain before I'd have to start taking notes.I will write it later... I didn't have time to go over my notes yet.
You took notes at a concert?
He is trying to do a thorough job for you people. Geez.I feel like he should contact Vice and see if they accept submissions. This is exactly the sort of thing they'd publish. "I Spent A Day Attending A Limp Fucking Bizkit Concert in 2014 by Killsaly H. Riderhood"

Yes, because I was (still am, but have been busy) planning on writing a few paragraphs about the show and wanted some details fresh in my mind when I sit down to write it. I used to carry a notebook (pre having an iPhone days) and pen to shows, to take notes for the old show write-up blog that I used to run. I usually don't take them anymore; no motivation to write.I will write it later... I didn't have time to go over my notes yet.You took notes at a concert?
The J setlist looked pretty much like this. (http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/j-mascis/2014/bowery-ballroom-new-york-ny-5bcceb58.html) Walkies would have been a very happy Walkies if he had gone.
I'll be coming up for Slowdive solo. If there's a board meetup before the gig, I'm in.Do you like Ethiopian food and hookas? I believe an Ethiopian restaurant will be a few of our pregame meetup spot.

awesome review RR...Thanks! I was pretty upset that I missed him. But, due to this tour, there is now the chance that he will tour again (i dont think he ever played shows outside of the Northwest before this) and I can catch him at a smaller venue.
sucks you missed your friend though....

I was never completely sold on Slowdive but was repeatedly told that I hadn't really heard them until I'd heard them live.Same. I am going to revisit their albums this weekend. What an awesome show...

very cool to get the signed insert....congrats....you gotta post a picture on the setlist/picture thread!Maybe. I posted it on instagram. He signed it to my full name because that was what I wrote in his publicist's notebook, and don't really want to post my full name here (though I could be easily found at my real name with info like past screen names of mine), so maybe. Or I edit it and the image and post that.
still not sure about Meat Puppets tonight (don't wish to stay late for Cass).
anyone going to string cheese incident tonight and can save me if my date is annoying?

Saturday - I will be attending my first ever college football game, as my alma mater, University of Maryland, takes on my future father-in-law's team of Michigan State. We even had to join the alumni association so that we could get parking spots to tailgate. His brother and seven other people are traveling here for the game. I hope it isn't too cold that day.You're marrying into a Spartan family? Good God, run.
Her father and his family grew up in Flint.We have a UofM campus in Flint! Totally no excuse!
As for this upcoming week, I might not go to any shows.
Tuesday - MAYBE will go to Azar Swan at Comet
Thursday - maybe attend the screening of Swearnet in Columbia

No convincing you into going to Philly for Elisa? :)I forgot about that... Maybe, I will let you know soon.

I am not even sure where he or his brother went to college (well, her dad went to William and Mary for his PHD but I am not sure where he went for his undergrad studies... I dont think it was in Michigan though).
I should probably ask why he and his brother are such huge Spartan fans. I think they might have even spent their formative years in East Lansing and not Flint. I just know it was in that general area...
Thought about the Pulp movie Wednesday until this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHANU7NceIo#t=20) popped up. Thanks again Miss P!

Two Inch Astronaut/Big Ups/Mannequin Pussy/Washer/Jail Solidarity Sunday.I thought about going to that one... or the show the day before with Big Ups/Multicult/Hive Bent/Washer at The Crown. I am not sure at the moment what this week holds for me.
I'd like to apologize to Julian because I know he wants photographic evidence of me pulling my pud to MSTRKRFT, unfortunately all the pictures I had came out blurry from how vigorously I was tugging myself. So, as usual, you'll just have to imagine me pulling my pud. Hard.A fair explanation.
ugh, Philly got the better setlist. Drug Test? are ya kidding me?!?

I am not planning on going to any shows for a couple weeks, but do have one event coming up. On Sunday December 4 I will be filling in for Sean Gray at Accidental Guest Radio on WMUC from 6 till 10 PM; alongside azaghal1981, who usually does the show with Sean every week. Sean's band is playing that night, so azaghal asked me to sit in and play some tunes. Expect a Baltimore heavy set with a few shoegaze and electronic tangents. This will also probably be the least "hardcore" of any AG show.SO GUYS, HOW DID THIS GO?
SO GUYS, HOW DID THIS GO?It was a lot of fun. We ran into a tiny bit of technical difficulty. I gave some shoutouts, inclusing to you (I played a song named Julian for you). I actually knew it was you on the phone after hearing what songs you were asking for. Since it was my first time in there, we decided not to take calls; but maybe next time. We had exactly enough time to play all of the tracks we had for it and I hope I do it again.
I actually knew it was you on the phone after hearing what songs you were asking for.You noted my famously eclectic taste in my requests for Julian Casablancas, Juliana Theory, Julian B, Juliana Hatfield Three, and Julian Lennon songs, eh?

ok here's the deal: don't eat the food while aaron plays..get there earlier and eat the restaurant or by the bar depending on your mood.. i think the food is real good but its the beer specials that are great...
if you eat while aaron is playing its just nacho type fare but they have a nice full scale restaurant..

(https://sp.yimg.com/ib/th?id=HN.608007072763481840&pid=15.1&P=0)I hate just about every jog wheel on any of these controllers. They are so sensitive.
I wish I had a Traktor...
I think there's 2 different kinds of "DJ's"... One is a Turntablist [scratching and scratch routines, beat juggling, etc.] and the other is a Selecter [mixing songs together very well, in key, and creating off the cuff mixes and mash ups]. I think the word "DJ" is thrown around TOO much today. I consider myself a selector, because I can't really scratch all that well. I still use turntables and what not. There's a million controllers now because actually buying DJ equipment is HELLA expensive. Just about everywhere I play already has equipment, so I think I'm lucky. I started on turntables and transitioned to CDJs. I've seen dozens of people who SUCK at DJing and it's a real shame. Not that DJing had a great name, but it sucks when someone brings up me being a DJ, when they know nothing about it, and just think I hit play and Dubstep happens lol. Comes with the territory though.The thing about my guy is he isn't even a selector. He literally just makes a playlist, hits play, and wears giant headphones and yells "come on people, lets get on the floor now!" between songs. If he was actually crossfading songs or doing mashups, I'd have no problem with him calling himself a DJ, I just think it's hilarious how "big" he is into it and how little effort he actually puts forth.
Thanks, EDM.
Yeah, that's lame. Hence me thinking the word "DJ" just gets thrown around way too much. Diluting the product! Any shmo with a speaker and a playlist is a "DJ" now!

Well, the one I really want is:I like playing with controllers, but... literally playing with them. They have some fun gadgets on some of them. I hate using them to play shows though. The sound isn't as great and you usually have to ramp up sound to get it to sound like straight CDs or going through Serato/Traktor box. But this is cool if you're just gonna be playing tunes around!

Did you watch the videos about the S8? The remixing on the fly capabilities are beyond cool.I didn't. I can't at work. I'll scope it later. The new CDJ 2000s have crazy loop features on them too. On TOP of that the new Pioneer mixers are insane. There's no reason any DJ shouldn't be doing cool, live shit using their turntables and mixers. I'll look into this though!

I saw Face to Face play their self-titled LP tonight...they completely wrecked the place. I haven't seen a crowd go that crazy in a long time. It was a proper punk rock show, even if the dudes in the audience are hitting about 40. Still, they formed a respectable pit with all kinds of proper etiquette: guys picked each other up, the ladies participated too...I guess maturity isn't such a dirty word after all. Absolutely killer show.

She friend requested ME out of the blue. :oI know she's great she accepted mine too ;DSturgill Simpson twice this week.

I strangely just got a fried request from a Richmond person with a bunch of U of M stuff tied to it... wonder what's going on here?

Hey guys, Kate Upton just sent me a friend request. She's a big UofM fan. Believe this easy-provable yet wildly unconfirmed tale I'm telling you.

Now I remember who Yada is. He was that guy who was behind you at some Punk Rock show...an pushed you unwilling into the center of the mosh pit
Julian, if your FB identity is you creepin' with a UofM hat and your initials are JC, I think it's you my friend.I'm PMing you.

I just scored tickets to a Letterman taping next week... trying to see if I can swing a trip up there last minute.

Wow. Woulda thought that tickets for all the remaining shows had been divvied out already. But I'm sure the last show or two are invitation only.
I attended a few tapings in the 90s. The chill in the theatre is no joke; it's about 60 in there.

Also Boggs BBQ is worth the $10

From the looks of the request page, it seems like you can still request tickets to any night of the last 12 tapings. That's what I did a few months ago and they called me yesterday. I had to answer a trivia question to be given tickets and then I could pick any night next week to attend (unfortunately, guests aren't announced yet).

I was at Maryland Death Fest all weekend. Twas a great time and lots of great people.
Orioles tonight. Always Orioles these days!YEsterday was fun!
Either Hemlines and Coup Sauvage at St. Stephen's or M.C. Schmidt in Baltimore and Ladyfest on Friday.MC for me as well, if you go.
I only went Sunday and saw all the bands. I was pleased with most of the sets....grindcore is still not my thing though the band Anaal Nathrakh is still a million times better than Pig Destroyer.
The top 3 bands I saw were: Primordial, Amorphis and Neurosis.

Alberto Gonzalez
crackerWhoa, if you're going to hang out with Sidehatch, you can at least show him the respect of calling him "caucasian" if you feel the need to point out people's ethnicity when referring to them. Geez, it's always the poverty-stricken who are the most beholden to their racial divides. . .
yeah went to see him speak...was pretty lacklusterAlberto Gonzalez
the Bush administration guy who oversaw the "legal framework" for torture?
I hope you make a citizen's arrest!

St. Stephens It Together Fest SaturdayI might go to part of that... It depends on when I get back from Delaware.
faith no more. I am noticing ticket sales aren't that great.I was surprised too that they picked MPP, people like them...but not that much
but faith no more is this sunday. come one bearman, lets hang out and get all sweaty!
i've always wanted to meet fellow boardies to share a fine alcoholic product with them. I will probably be wearing a widespread panic shirt that has a gorilla on the front, or the widespread panic blue indian shirt.i will definitely look for you.

I would be going if I could, and I lost my cool a long time ago.
have you considered doing "the running man" at concerts? two birds with one stone... actually, three: it would further make you look uncool.Jaded introduces the one-man, in-place, GwarBQ marathon in 2016!

i would contribute financially to make this happen.
edit- just came up with a fourth benefit: by running at the show, you would be burning off the beers you're drinking because, hey, it's a rock concert so of course you're going to have a beer or three.
i would contribute financially to make this happen.I also will throw money at this.
I'd be willing to crowdsource an entry to the Rock-n-Roll Marathon DC...though I vowed to never run that race ever again.Is it just a marathon with bands playing along the route? That's not funny. Will you do it wearing nothing but a diaper? I don't understand the hook.
I did the Marsha Brady for a solid 4 songs in a row at Dan Deacon a few weeks back. It's always a winner.I wish I had the skills to insert Jules head in there...but just imagine it there
/if I were to bet on what boardie could put Julian's head on there...it was you
Sunday - I might go to the skateboarding thing at Kennedy Center to see Prince Rama; and I definitely am going to MPP for Death Cab for Cutie and Explosions in the Sky that nightmight be attending both as well (Ride for sure)

Eagles of Death Metal
Did anyone go to that library record sale? I just want to know if it was a bust or great haha.

Saturday - Thrushes record release show at Metro Gallery and maybe catch some of Hampdenfest earlier in the day
i totally misread that as "Hamplanetfest."That would be an excellent idea. If we get them all in one place, we can just start throwing lye soap powder on them and turn on the hoses. It'd fix the smell anyway.
Debating EODM tomorrow.
Definitely Cheap Trick on Sunday.
Saturday - Thrushes record release show at Metro Gallery and maybe catch some of Hampdenfest earlier in the dayI might make it a triple header and stop by this show after Thrushes:
Note that the Quintron performance was moved up to 6pm on facebook.

when they haven't played the US since the early 90s who exactly wants surprises??? How many people will have actually ever seen them?
I saw Mark Gardener at Iota's in the mid 2000s....
I hope they play a ton from Going Blank Again; their masterwork....

I meant that earlier this year they've done some US shows and therefore we can expect some additions to the setlists beyond what we've seen online. Personally, I'm hoping to hear "Nowhere". And no, after 25 years as a fan, I've never seen them.
they also sell high fidelity ones for $12 at the merch tablethese are the ones I'm bringing and make a cool key chain

U+N Fest Saturday. Mostly to see Roomrunner one last time.I will keep an eye out for you.
I don't like-like him.You're being totally crazy!
I've been trying to score economical tickets to the Stevie Wonder show this Saturday because my son really likes him, but I couldn't find anything less than $100 per ticket and my thought was "fuck that" so I basically gave up on the idea and now a buddy of mine is emailing saying he'll give me (just me) a free ticket to the show but I can't get over my earlier disappointment plus I'll feel like a dick saying to my kid "Remember that show we were going to go to? Well, I'm going, without you." So I don't even know because while I like Stevie Wonder, I don't like-like him.
^
that's a tough one
Why don't you just give your son the ticket?
or is he too young?
Ouch..hope you don't tell him that to his face ;D^
that's a tough one
Why don't you just give your son the ticket?
or is he too young?
Yeah, he's 11 and kind of a wiener. Plus, he'd be going with three grown men who will be drinking, smoking and saying the F word.
Sidehatch is going to Luna even if he won't admit to it on this board cause they're more than 20 years old....
but I was cautious about board protocol ...as technically that should have been posted in Next Weeks Rollcall threadI think it just depends on who you are. I tend to post the shows from the upcoming week on Friday afternoon or Saturday morning.

i'm failing on a lot of shows this week (and last week) but i'll probably check out Bond St District (and some others) for free in the Y-Not Lot in Station North (baltimore) tomorrow - celebration of the parkway theater, future home of the md film festival (also why the film festival is no longer welcome at the charles theater, heh)

I haven't seen IG since maybe 2001 so thought it might be nice to just see them again. Also got Ani tickets in January.
Liv Nightclub is a bizarre setting for a show like that.I've been to a few shows there. It is an incredibly bizarre setting. Mostly because the "Stage" area is tiny and the lighting it kind of for shit.

I'm confused. Are you trying to type how a Scottish person talks?dae pitols wer Scotish
skinny puppy's setlist for this tour is great.......might consider. (Mortuary Drape/Mgla show is also a good alternative)
dae pitols wer ScotishTae and dinna (not dinnae like you wrote), are common Scots words. I did not see how that was relevant to a band from the next island over. Do they use those terms in any of the different dialects of British English? Or are all white island people the same to you?
Playing the Lil Debbie after party tonight! So excited! On going b2b with my buddy Paige, we're on from 12-1.Aw... I saw this after I decided to not go. Have fuN! Are you watching her set?
to anybody going to, skinny puppy . . . I am jealous, andI might end up having to skip... Unless someone has an extra ticket and needs a friend for the night!

Lo, what be-ith the ocean if not God's own private commode, lent for nary a whim to His human endeavors? Shall we not also release where the Lord exudes His celestial leavings? I stand proud to stretch and revel in God's sod.I don't know about any of that. I know Samuel and Kings is full of accounts of killing off everyone who pisseths against a wall, so God is definitely anti-wall urination. Perhaps he does want us to urinate into a body of water.

Interestingly, the Chris Stapleton show is the only one on my list that's sold out - I guess that CMA performance with JT did wonders for his pocketbook.

^ that's a dj promo from jmu's radio station when it was just madison college. my favorite cover of the variants.that might be "pushing" it!
inside there's an 18 X 22 B&W poster of the cover w/no text.
i don't want to push my luck, but a german gatefold "ziggy" with lyrics and spider's headshots inside, a trex "electric warrior" gatefold and the 2 ronson solo promo LPS for the ronson girls to sign may be too much.

looks like a promo of some sort.. I have a few variants of this album.. I guess if I was to get Visconti to sign anything it would be this album...
i'm tempted to go too.... particularly after spending the last few hours listening to the new Bowie.. but i'm not sure.. will probably be a gametime decision and i'll probably not go...

Normally I do not really dig black metal, but for some reason, really dig 1349. I will be there for the whole thing.
Sunday - 1349, Tombs, Horrendous, Full of Hell
Just this. Doubt I stay for 1349, tho. Not my thang.
I much prefer grind and I'm really only there because Full of Hell is playing.I think I am most excited for Horrendous. I have been jamming the shit out of their albums over the last month. Grind is one of my least favorite sub-genres, but I do dig Full of Hell (never seen them though)..

The rest of January for me:
25th - Queensrÿche at 930 (maybe)
27th - Wildhoney Mobtown Microshow taping (definitely)
28th - Trophy Wife, Widows Watch at Ottobar (possibly)
30th - Live Performances by: ABDU ALI, HEMLOCK ERNST, JPEGMAFIA, JOY POSTELL and DJ sets by: SCRAAATCH, DJ UNDERDOG, KATE BOSS at the Crown (probably)
lolWhat?
lolWhat?
Queensrÿche was a maybe because of the snow (now it is a no).
Wildhoney microshow is a definitely because I dont want to miss their acoustic set, but might just be a maybe because of the snow.
Trophy Wife is only possibly cause I only want to see one of the bands and do not know if it is worth it.
The Saturday show is a probably because I will probably want to get out of my house,
And my recently added Friday show of Wildhoney and Romantic States is a definitely because they are two bands I really enjoy.

Yikes...might actually come late as I have a seat ( I know that is lame, especially since they've been a top band of mine for 20 years)
But come on, play 6 or 7 songs from the new album, interspersed between your other songs
That's totatlly OK, but this is kinda lame IMO
Has anyone given this album a second listen since it came out?
Good thing is they are doing 25-30 songs a night with some good stuff from the back catalog
Give back the keys and We've been Had would be sweet
and lots from Being There and Summertheet
Could almost catch the superbowl and show up at song 12

I like Kurt Vile (and his albums) and I've seen him three times. Definitely uneven though. Once he was great and twice awful (including the acoustic gig before Thurston). Last time he just seemed sloppy drunk. It was the worst show of 2015 for me.

you may hate him, but his shows are always 100%
To be clear, I was only commenting on the most immediate comment about Kurt Vile being wildly erratic live. I have no idea what Frank Turner is like in concert because every time he is in town I choose to do something more exciting like listen to A Prairie Home Companion while drinking Earl Grey tea.let me be clear, that is never the case at a Frank Turner show, so don't lump the two togetherI agree with the general sentiment.

I like Kurt Vile (and his albums) and I've seen him three times. Definitely uneven though. Once he was great and twice awful (including the acoustic gig before Thurston). Last time he just seemed sloppy drunk. It was the worst show of 2015 for me.
you may hate him, but his shows are always 100%
To be clear, I was only commenting on the most immediate comment about Kurt Vile being wildly erratic live. I have no idea what Frank Turner is like in concert because every time he is in town I choose to do something more exciting like listen to A Prairie Home Companion while drinking Earl Grey tea.let me be clear, that is never the case at a Frank Turner show, so don't lump the two togetherI agree with the general sentiment. He was great one time and a mess another. Definitely a hit or miss act.Had I known he was so awful I would have chosen to go see Young and in the Way at Metro Gallery instead. Unfortunately, I'm not into the rest of that bill at all.

Great suggestion. I just venmo'ed some cash to Ira Glass to thank him for cultivating unique talent like Garrison Keiller.To be clear, I was only commenting on the most immediate comment about Kurt Vile being wildly erratic live.

A simply wonderful idea, and be sure to donate to your local public radio station, which makes such magic happen but money doesn't just grow on trees you know, unless you happen to have one of those weird Sequoias that sprout cash as its leaves.

Might walk up to RnR Hotel to see the Subways tonight. Saw them at the club more than a decade ago, when their 'schtick' was "teenagers playing awesome garage rock". It will be interesting seeing them all grown up. Kind of like seeing Ash in the current age after last seeing them on the 1977 tour.

I met Josh the night at the 9:30 when he reamed the guy for throwing stuff on stage. I told him that he was one of my favorite guitarists of all time and he seemed a little unimpressed. Then I said, "plus...you're hot as hell". I don't know what possessed me to do that but I seized the moment because nobody was around. He looked confused for a moment (like he misheard me) and then went "awwwww...thanks dude!" and put his arm around me with a little half hug. Then he signed my cd and wrote "you/me" with a heart around it and signed his name. True story. Josh is someone that I think would be your most loyal friend, but he'd be your biggest enemy if you crossed him. I also think he's sharp as a knife and a human b.s. detector. But incredibly grateful for his real fans. I think being respectful is mandatory for him, and I understand that totally.
Join us at WTMD Studios on Friday, April 15th for a Live Lunch with Thao & The Get Down Stay Down.
Doors open at 11:30. The show starts at Noon and lasts an hour. Live Lunch is FREE as always.

I can't believe all of you old geezers are choosing to see the Cure over Grace Potter.
I mean, come on. Look at that picture of her. She totally looks like she want to suck your cock. On the other hand (not that you'd be needing it if you were going to the Grace show) Robert Smith looks like he'd only want to tease your pubes and dye them black.

Not at all. Tonight I'll be eating some pizza pie, followed by some of my wife's home made key lime pie, while watching a free Pietasters show. Then, an amazing stopoff at Dave and Buster's on the way home. Ninth birthday.
Maybe some late night hair pie as well if I play my cards right.

I guess its been nearly five years since I saw Familyman.....how time flies..

I wish they'd do most of the new album....but it will be mostly the same set they've been doing the past two years or so >:(9/8 Dino, Jr., 9:30 or Beach Slang, OttobarI have a feeling that this Dinosaur Jr show will be cant miss. They are going to sound so much better than they did they last time around at Black Cat.
I have only seen them once, the last time they played Black Cat. And while it was awesome, it was at Black Cat and the sound was bad. I don't mind if the set list is similar, as the sound is going to be so much better.
I would be happy if we got a set list similar to this recent one... http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/dinosaur-jr/2016/ebisu-liquidroom-tokyo-japan-6bfc3e9a.html
Because sound is not everything.
1. It was my first time seeing them.
2. I was on a date.
3. They played all of the songs that I wanted to hear.
The sound usually sucks at the Black Cat main stage. Nowadays I try to avoid it as much as I do Rock and Roll Hotel, but sometimes it is unavoidable.
I can't take my fiancée on a date to a Dinosaur Jr show?
She might go to four shows a year with me, and I consider all of them dates/special occasions.

Is the platform strong enough to support the weight?I like to joke that her album titles are her current BMIs, but sadly the joke won't be accurate for another 15 years or so.

As someone who is 10-15 pounds overweight myself, I feel that it is ok for me to make jokes about Adele's weight, because she and I are in the same sinking boat. You however are not overweight so it's not ok for you to make Adele fat jokes.#ThisIsFatPrivilege

I'm taking my friend to Ingrid Michaelson on Monday. I'm pretty sure she is not for me, but she's my friend's favorite so I'm going for support!the things you do for love...
Thursday - Hiss Golden Messenger
I saw her about 10 years ago.... She sung for 30 minutes and her daughters took over for an hour.the van lear rose show at the club?
I'd say it wasn't a Loretta Lynn show
well you have to make allowances...for greatness... for it ages as we all do...right, right you are.
I saw her twice in 2008.. glad for it... one time was either Warrenton or Winchester.. great.. then six months later at the club.. not so great but she played Portland..
just gonna chill at home tonight with some new stuff from the new and improved mobius.
nice guy that dempsey, chatting about sharon and recent losses.
Will be at King Khan & BBQ Show tonight with some buds!me too
Should be at Red Fang tomorrow night
The Hold Steadydang...have fun
Friday and Saturday nights
Brooklyn Bowl
Should be at Red Fang tomorrow night
I was so on-board with this show but then saw Windhand is playing the BC and I've always wanted to see them, so it's the BC for me.
Pig Destroyer Saturday night.
I wish I had something to go to this week but there is nothing I'm remotely interested intomorrow night
^ you'll be glad you did.Ok...I'm doing it....for Davey Jones
looks like just bowie covers

heading up to Philly today for this (http://www.brooklynvegan.com/yo-la-tengo-and-dean-britta-phillips-playing-le-poisson-rouge/).....
virginia creep and caustic casanova @ mobius records saturday 6 - 8 free
arbutus sunday - because i need more.
I wish they'd do this on the east coast...I hope they do. I think those are possibly my 3 favorite LPs...though I'd throw Pup Tent in there too possibly as number 3 and Rendezvous at number 4.
Sadly, only 1 dope queen will be there.Oh, is Walkie, going solo?

Sunday - City of Caterpillar.
Monday - front row at the Mash Tun with some other boardies
Thursday - possibly.. milquetoast sad lament soccer mom rock
Thursday - possibly.. milquetoast sad lament soccer mom rockI just now saw this. Its a very weird experience to have someone quote you without direct attribution, not remember saying it at all, but knowing instinctively "that has got to be something I said at some point."
Where are the punk shows tonight
are you wearing the pleats?
if you want any more details let me know

d.c. record fair sunday
some good dj's too - leon city sounds (reggae, cumbia, etc.) and neal augenstein from wtop!d.c. record fair sunday
wow i had forgotten... thanks (something always befalls me and I seem to miss it... we'll see this year)
The Smithereens
they always put on a great show, the original bassist will be there, cost is an Andrew Jackson, its walking distance from me...
my kid has his international night at school so i will go after that
if you want any more details let me know
Tue - Matthew E White + Flo Morrissey
Also, I didn't think you liked Matthew E. White?I think he's good I just, in no way, rival your level of fanboy over him. I think there's a bunch of better records recorded in RVA over the past five years (Natalie Prass, Julien Baker, Way Shape or Form, Lucy Dacus, et al) than Matthew E. White.
Marah! (Friday)hmmm...
Robyn Hitchcock/Yo La Tengo
Smackie and Markie
Location undisclosed

Nothing good can possibly come out of this.
Monday - Flaming Lips/Walkie
Do you think Seth will be there too?No clue. If you see Hutch in full-on fan-boy mode fawning over a portly gentleman, you assuredly will have found the illusive Seth.
Do you think Seth will be there too?illusive Seth
Monday - Flaming Lips/Walkie
I have to say, I am unduly excited about the possibility of spotting native boardies in their natural habitat. Do you think Seth will be there too?
It's also entirely possible I'm standing next to Julian RIGHT NOW!!!
Oh no, sorry. False alarm. That was just some old dude. My bad.

Haha we've made you have feelings. Of the non-penis related variety. Hilarious.JENS!

I often think about how you wienuses raved about that black cat show years ago off of the album where he's getting his hair cut on the cover. sounded so fun

The dream of early-to-mid aughts indie pop is alive in all of our local rock clubs.
If only we could get a repeat of that 2003 Libertines/British Sea Power gig....If you would've told me Pete Doherty would still be alive 14 years later, I never would've believed you.

Pete Doherty was not at that show, on account of the drugs.
It was truly fantastic.
where was that show? was that the black cat one?

Yes
http://forum.930.com/index.php?topic=9580.0
Well, that's quite the blast from the past.
Pardon my ignorance, but it's a life changing event to see The Libertines WIHTOUT Pete??? I thought he was the whole point of that band.

Well, that's quite the blast from the past.
I remember always being confused by the Mankie vs Markie thing, and who was who. And for some reason, I've often connected Markie to Julian (since I was pretty sure Mankie was the guy from Manchester who was married to Poorlulu).

Markie is the PHD scientist and off-road cyclist from the UK married to poorlulu, who is from Scotland. They live in Massachusetts with their lovely twin children now.
Mankie is the car salesman/British Naval veteran and road cyclist from Manchester who was divorced and remarried to an Irish woman. After leaving the area, he relocated to Ireland and then Florida, if I recall. Not sure what he's up to these days.
I'm not sure if either of them have a connection to Julian, though I'm sure he could tell you.
Merritt & Co
Night one: songs 1-25

Nails, Toxic Holocaust, Gatecreeper, Genocide Pact at RNR Hotel tonight if I get my shit together.
Nails, Toxic Holocaust, Gatecreeper, Genocide Pact at RNR Hotel tonight if I get my shit together.Hell yes.
Nails, Toxic Holocaust, Gatecreeper, Genocide Pact at RNR Hotel tonight if I get my shit together.
For those on the fence about magnetic fields,I highly recommend the performance. It's more than a concert, it's a theatrical experience. From the set design to the mixed media presentation. Merritt's his curmudgeonly affable self. Don't judge the music until you see him bring it to life...
nouvelle vague at the howard.
surprised this show didn't show up on goldstar as it seems most shows i want to see at the howard end up way undersold and thus on discount via goldstar.
Same here, I'd really like to see Nails. I suspect for me it will be one of those shows where the first 25 minutes are totally mindblowing and then I'll be like, ok I got it, and will then leave early.Nails will probably play for 30 or 40 minutes. They average 16 songs a set; and most of their songs are less than two minutes long (with tons of those being less than one minute long).

Thanks for this but I couldn't make it work. How was the show?
I can't imagine listening to these guys for more than 30 or 40 minutes. I feel like after half an hour, I'd be all "Ok, I have received what Nails is providing. I got it."

well i will probably drag my sad body over there...
richard thompson is one of those guys I want to like more than I do.. I've lsitened to a ton of his music.. but for whatever reason I seem to like the people he collaborated with much more than I like him! I'd give a lot to see John Martyn , Sandy Denny or Nick Drake.. meanwhile Thompson keeps putting out albums everyone insists are amazing but they leave me bored.. although ocassionally I dig his stuff... I guess i respect him more than I am able to appreciate him but invariably I go back to his music and try again...
oh and he ain't going anywhere for a while..

If there are two prices (the floor and the balcony) it is reserved seating.

My daughter said the Whitney show exceeded her expectations (She's a big fan). I asked her, how so? Her response- "they stopped drinking so they had it much more together"Yeah the lead singer made some comment that the band hadn't had a drink in 3 days
Maybe someone could do a research project on sold out skinny hipsters/chicks/lgbqt attendees vs. pear shaped middle aged men sold out shows and see how much actual room is left in the club?you nailed it...sight lines were great too with all the ladies in attendance
Friday - Maybe Savor, probably not (insert Space Savor events are better than the event itself comment)

EMA Wednesday (can't wait)
Mountain Goat, Tuesday.
I agree, saw Julian baker last week and was like...this is such a tiny club...and I'm so glad it's in my town!Mountain Goat, Tuesday.
My first visit back at the club since seeing 3 Anthem shows. I felt like everything was miniature, like a doll house. But it also felt like home. Nothing will ever replace it.

I went there to see Steely Dan last Wednesday. I was prepared for the nightmarish traffic coming from western Fairfax Co. but I figured that on a Wednesday night, the parking wouldn't be so bad. Nope - drove around and around in the garage trying to find a spot. It took awhile but I found something. I don't know if it will be worse on a Friday night. There is no other parking nearby (unless you count National Harbor but that is quite a walk and parking is expensive there (at least it was the last and only time I was there many years ago). I gave myself two hours to get there and I had about 20 minutes to spare.
I considered buying my partner some tickets to a show there around Xmas, but maybe I'll reconsider... hmmm.

Dream Syndicate tomorrow
Hoping to motivate for camper on 11th and cigarette at galaxy hut on 14yeah, you should motivate.
They have an lp??? I have their 45..and had taped a show at the black cat but gave the copy to the bass dudei got it from dischord, but it's OOP.
Dream Syndicate tomorrow
To be honest, I'm tired of this Camper/Cracker thing. I'm a big fan of Camper, a much more interesting band IMHO. I'd rather see a big fat set of their material in a real headlining role.

A drunk dude once smashed his bottle over my forehead at a 9:30 Cracker/Camper show, requiring multiple stitches after five or six hours of being ignored at Howard Hospital.
Count me in favor of plastic cups.

I haven't been in years, like The Strokes first album years, maybe the original Silver Sun Pickups album years, but yeah, they could have announced that Jamiroquai was playing the sewers of SF three days before 4/20 and The Director still would have flown out.

Glad you're with me, bro. Glad i got to cross him off the bucket list at Wolftrap. And got to see one of my favorite bands, the never touring Devotchka, as the opener.
Wow. I do not remember that. I must not have heard about it or I would’ve went.all I can remember was the food

That was for the SF show last week. It would be an absolute shame if DC didn't get Ashcroft as well. I thought his acoustic opening performance completely blew Liam's mailed in, hour long set away.
Hour long set, really??? I actually think the solo stuff is great and I'm also looking forward to hearing some Oasis songs, but I'll be miffed if he only plays for 60 minutes. If that happens, I'll have no issue yelling that Noel's show was better.

12 songs, mate, 13 if you're lucky. Now, maybe without an opener he'll expand it, but it was nowhere near Noel's 23 song set that I saw, and I much preferred Noel's Oasis song selections over Liam's. But it was great to hear Liam rip through 3-4 tracks off of Definitely Maybe and I didn't expect him to play anything after the first two albums anyway. Maybe that will change without Ashcroft opening. He might even look like he didn't just roll out of bed in his orange hoodie for the show, but don't count on it.
Noel > Richard > Liam
But I enjoyed them all.

I am 64% going to go Tuesday night. Will make a decision over the weekend.
His recent setlists are kinda weird. He's playing 12-14 sets but following them with 10 song encores. Just do a big set, Jack!I would argue that's a de facto second set at that point.

from pure speculation, opener 8, b&s 9 or 9:15Belle and Sebastian tonightDitto
Anyone have an idea what set times might look like?
I have never seen the Anthem more empty than 30 mins before the opener at Belle and Sebastian. Bit lonely and cavernous, lol.Well I have not arrived yet. Crowd follows Julian. It’s a law.
Julian is busy at Union Stage.Julian is en route to the yacht club from La Piquette over in Cathedral Heights. Patience, son.
Belle & Sebastian - wish they have better setlists on this tour.....

Their setlists have been great. They're playing at least one song from each album (for the most part). What more do you want? Please don't say more If You're Feeling Sinister songs.
Yeah, it would be great for them to play Seymour Stein, though they never play it. Same with Sunday's Pretty Icons.
The bottom line is they'll never play your perfect setlist. You looked ahead of time. What did you expect?

Compared to the past 2 shows they did at Merriweather and Echostage, it was a pretty diverse setlist. I applaud their decision to mix it up. It makes going to see them always worth it.
Flasher on Saturday. Really looking forward to it, as the record is very good.back in the saddle I see...
Hell yes, whoever you are. Is that Sidehatch? You name-changies always mess up my old man mind. If so, you should try and come out for the show, it'll be good.yes, I be da' Hatch

Sunday: Weezer/Pixies/Sleigh BellsToo late for Jul 22 show but FYI, you CAN enter the venue from the VIP lot with a regular ticket. (I've done it even with Lawn.) You just can't enter via the Club entrance. There's a regular gate entrance, there. Just one ticket-taker/one magnetometer.
Tuesday: Courtney Barnett
Saturday: Arctic Monkeys
Next Tuesday: The Vaccines
I bought a Jiffy Lube Live VIP parking pass on StubHub, though I now realize I will not be able to enter the actual venue from there because I just have a regular general-admission-pit ticket, lol. Maybe it will still be worth it for an expedited exit afterwards, particularly if there are heavy thunderstorms.

I thought Courtney Barnett was pretty great but too loud but that would be her call...
...hopefully people find it better than DAR or Patriot Centerdamn...that's setting the bar pretty low
I guess the general rule is sound should be best by soundboard?
the pa system at the anthem is only a little bigger than the one at the 930."Look at that PA, is it a small PA? You refer to The Anthem's PA -- 'if it's small, something else must be small.' I guarantee you Seth has no problem. I guarantee." - some paid shill who's moments from showing up
- some paid shill who's moments from showing upthis fictional character doesn't exist...but keep the story line going
***(where do i pick up my check, Seth).You need to make your points in Trumpian absolutes to qualify for a paid shill position.
the sound was not loud enough to drown out the chatterers during EATB. The sax and the weber-grille did not seem well-mic'd during the Femmes.there was an lot of chatty drunks by me during EATB....but at the same time, i could tell they loved the songs

lyft/uber works the same in columbia as pretty much anywhere else!
I'm not really sure what sort of insight you'd want past that, Yada. If it helps, I stayed a hotel a few miles from MPP once and Uber'ed to the entrance by the mall. Then, post show, I walked to a bar by the mall and called an Uber from there. It went smoothly. I would not try having an uber drop me off/pick me up from the parking lot, use the mall entrance.
Belle and Sebastian show where people were sipping seltzer all night.dude...the B&S crowd is more of a bath salts/speedball kinda crowd...

A bit more helpful than K8, thanks.
But yeah, 20k spun, partying people with multiple roads closed, entrances changed, new dumb parking rules at MPP is a bit tougher than a 20% sold Belle and Sebastian show where people were sipping seltzer all night.
I was just curious if there was a solidified option that wouldn't be a disaster.

K8teebug, any chance you'll be able to hand off the NIN ticket to me at the Jesus Lizard? Hope to see you there!
Nothing technically this week, but will be at Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever (which I know is next week, but I'm excited to see them!)
Let's Eat Grandma - Thursdaydoes Grandma know about this plan?
They're good live.....I see that they've upgraded to the mainstage...The DC9 show was close to sold out.Nothing technically this week, but will be at Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever (which I know is next week, but I'm excited to see them!)

dinosaur . . . bitch. staying the night, so I am coming in early to do a museum, go to st arnolds for some mussels and beer, have a early dinner, and then get all fucked up on J.
if you're there and you want, say . . . high.
considering the rare trifecta:
gary numan at 930 (7:30 set)
arthur buck at rnrh (9:15 set)
Dino (11:00 set)
Anyone else?
So how did it go??
You da real MVP.So how did it go??
Was surprisingly painless:
Already had ArthurBuck ticket, so I bought Numan ticket on Stubhub for $10, Bought Dino ticket on Ticketfly (available even when Cat website said it was sold out);
Left Rockville at 6:20ish, arrived at 930 around 7:15, parked for free on 8th street. Had dinner at FoodFood. Really enjoyed the show. Lots of lights and synths, and a bunch of crazy nightmare dancing by the band and the crowd. Gary brought out his teen-aged (?) daughter to sing with him on one song, and it was adorable to see how cutely-embarrassed she was of her dad doing his thing.
After show, took Lyft to RNRH and arrived just before band went on. Maybe 80-100 people at show. ArthurBuck was good, a few catchy songs, but really I was just happy to see Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey. Left that show during the encore...Coney Island Baby, got into a Lyft and went to BlackCat.
Arrived at Cat at 10:53, so I missed the first 8 minutes or so of Dino. Place was jam-packed and I could not slink to the front, so was about 1/2 way back next to the new raised standing area. Dino were great. Stayed to the end with the cover of Just Like Heaven at around midnight.
Walked back to parking on 8th street. Thousands of people out on the sidewalks, have rarely seen the neighborhood so packed. Looked like the main draw was the area where Pure Lounge/Fainting Goat/Hawthorne are located. Home in Gaithersland by around 1:15am.
So how did it go??

Why would you try to "slink to the front" if you arrive at a show eight minutes after the headliner starts? You're part of the problem.
I agree, it's all my fault. One mitigating factor is that I take up very little space, space.surely blaming you for Taylor Gourmet and Pumpkin Spice....not sure I'm going to hold you accountable for ruining Space's rock show experience

Caps home opener tomorrow.
Yeah that app makes it possible to run tab....while in line they hand out little cards with info on app
I wouldn’t say “bribe”....but “reward”...
If doors open at 6 you have to think opener goes on at 730....working forward an 830 JAMC start time seems realistic but they could be a little earlier like 815....

BOC will be great to see again! As will Goblin and Acid Witch! perfect Halloween bands!
Last night was cave’s first US show of tour....I think setlist is indicative of what we may see....
Fans in South America are so rabid and passionate I would expect they would coax a few extra songs out of Nick
I think he is growing his crowd so a set full of deep cuts just isn’t in the cards...but most people won’t have heard the songs from skeleton and there are one or two deep cuts...personally I think he should retire into my arms but the rest is fine
Elvis @ DAR Sunday....this show is really not selling well...but looking forward to it

Charlotte Gainsbourgwill be Frog-rocking too
Duran Jones tonight. Haven't been to a sold out RNRH show in almost a decade. Somewhat dreading it.
Monday - Nick Mason at DAR, Maddi Mae with Tanner Carlton (of The Bottle Shop) @ Songbyrd.joining Hutch at this...I assume you are going to Songbyrd after..as Nick goes on at 7:30 sharp
Nick Mason’s Saucerful of SecretsThat's good. Shame you missed the Roger Waters show last time in he was in town. It was all about you!
I am pumped! And just accross the street from my house

So there are women in the band?
It’s 2019....
I don’t go back in time and judge all male bands from the 1970s - times where very different-but now...for newer bands there is no reason not to have women involved...it’s anachronistic not to.... there was some controversy over this very issue with David Byrne’s last touring band
When I see five guys on stage now I cannot help but think “how limiting” so moving forward I hope and expect bands will include women
I refuse to listen to any band that doesn’t have at least one genderfluid individual and doesn’t have at least three non-white members (all different races, please). I won’t even listen to a duo — why so exclusatory? In this day and age!
When hutch tells you who he really is BELIEVE HIMHe’s totally ruined Charmless Man by Blur for me. He’s all I think of every time it comes on.I refuse to listen to any band that doesn’t have at least one genderfluid individual and doesn’t have at least three non-white members (all different races, please). I won’t even listen to a duo — why so exclusatory? In this day and age!
I made my point...a modern band without women kind of sucks.... certainly not perfect...take it or leave it

Ex Hex (100% women, good!) and Messthetics (100% men, patriarchy bullshit!) on Friday
Saw both bands (on 2 consecutive evenings) in San Francisco a couple weeks ago, and they were both awesome. My recommendation though is not to miss the Messthetics. The record is really cool, but in concert they are very special. It's like part punk, part jazz, part psychedelic. One of the better things I've seen this year, and fun to watch.

Oh yeah, this will probably be like my fifth of sixth time seeing them. Even drug my kids to the Ft. Reno show last summer.Dude...don't drug your kids. Don't worry they will start using drugs as soon as they become teenagers

I didn't drink until I was 21 then spent the next five years getting way too drunk when I went out, so my thought is if my kids start doing drugs at 9/7 they'll be able to handle them more normally when in high schoolThis is exactly what I learned from Gossip Girl.
I think a threesome is excemptare we talking about dice games like the Devil's Triangle?
It’s when you get into foursomes and above that things get sticky

Elvis Costello is in Gettysburg tonite...hmmm, how was the last DC show? was it at DAR?I thought it was fantastic...don't really like the new stuff
This will probably be a longer show than the one with Blondie (who I have no desire to see)
Just wanted to stop by and say Dan Boeckner was as amazing as expected on Saturday. I didn't think the new album was that great upon first listen, it was less of his patented dancy electro rock than was on the previous Operators album and EP. But the songs were great live and the Handsome Furs Sound Kapital songs were incredible.
There are few musicians as brilliant and talented as Dan around. He is certainly one of a kind.
I was there! Probably gonna be in my top 5 shows this year.
The new album is 10X better live and Dan's voice was unbelievably great.
Did you dance? It was definitely a workout.Just wanted to stop by and say Dan Boeckner was as amazing as expected on Saturday.

8/29 - Vampire Weekend (now I'm really mad I bought tickets at face for super high prices)
8/31 - LSU game in Baton Rouge!
9/7 - Hot Chip
8/29 - Vampire Weekend (now I'm really mad I bought tickets at face for super high prices)what is odd is that show doesn't even have tickets listed on seatgeek since last night
Is that what happened?
I figured it might be...
well it looks like they sold a lot of tix on the pavilion...
band still gets the same pay (well much lower merch sales for sure)...but honestly that's just conjecture
IMP takes this one on the chin
$2300 in IPAsguess you are driving with that low budget for drinks
Yeah, this would have been a killer Anthem show. Pity.

just because it isn't close to sold out doesnt mean that anyone is chinning here.
it sold a lot of tickets, especially at $79.50, it's gonna be a strong walk-up on a beautiful night, and Bagley and I and our fams are good for at least 6 impossible burgers, 4 pizzas, and $2300 in IPAs, along with the obligatory posters T-shirts and fanny packs.
Kwaanza, Kwaanza!
a couple of my friends hate the Anthem....just because of the parking situation...with the distance you have to walk from where you park at MPP to your seat...you can EASILY park for free in DC and walk/metro/uberYeah, this would have been a killer Anthem show. Pity.

Moz/Interpolso what's the over/under that he cancels this time
Hot Chip!!
Last show I saw was The Flaming Lips at Charlottesville. Here's hoping, this show will top that . . . because that was a hella show . . . and the Lennon / Claypool thing were awesome, too.

Posted this is Ticket Exchange with no results, so trying on the main forum. I have two for Bloc Party on Monday I cannot use. I'm not going to refuse a few token dollars for them, but honestly if you just ask nicely and assure me you will use them, you can have them for free.

Saturday - De La Soul - Reach
If I'm paying $23 to park Under the Kennedy Center they better guarantee something. I got there about 5:15 from my 5:30 tickets, and it was not a problem unless you wanted to go to some of the indoor stuff. And then I just waited around till a a few people came out and then they let a few people in for the Alice Coltrane tribute. De La Soul may bring out a few more people, however. I'm going to check the weather before doing anything though.Saturday - De La Soul - Reach
Anyone know how likely we are to arrive this weekend and not get in? Got an email that reinforced the idea that our passes guarantee nothing. I’m only really going for De La.
Edit: looks like more passes went up for this weekend.

if anything, my wife scolds me for not taking her to more shows... we both have too much else going on.
I usually go with my man to shows as long as it's some band I think he'd like. And I also go to most of his own concerts (also helps that I like some classical music...)

and based on the little information I know about your current residence, I'm assuming it's a good hour from a venue and that venue could mean an open mic night at a bar? amirite?

more that 'I should grow up, what adult in their late 40s with kids goes to more than 2 or 3 shows A YEAR'
um, I know a guy with two thumbs who begs to differ...but sept/october is always a bitch, no matter how many times I state that this is when a lot of shows happen around the same time
Always forgets that from May to Aug, I catch only 3 or 4 shows
with no traffic, we can be in seattle in 40-45 minutes.so does that mean traveling to Seattle at 3AM?

Massive Attack's setlist is a little odd....so they are doing a bunch of covers that I guess were used in the samples?

I noticed for Built to Spill they posted set times on the ticketfly page as well as the 930 site a few days in advance. Is this the new normal?Aren't they moving to Ticketmaster? If so, probably not.

a little skeptical about the sound being good for them at the Anthem...Half the board just fainted out of religious fervor.
going to SK Friday, but not that excited any more
the resale market has already cratered...deals to be had if you didn't buy a ticket yet

I'm glad I saw them a bunch when I did. My favorite time is still when they opened for Belle and Sebastian in 2002, nobody knew they were opening, and there were like 40 people watching them and they shredded a bunch of the new songs from "One Beat". I still respect/like them, but they lost my favorite member and it's just not going to be the same. That being said, people that I know that have seen them lately say they're still great...just different.
Do you like the new album?I need to re listen a few more times, first pass really turned me off
No issue with it being at Anthem because what venue a concert is at only impacts people who are trying to pass off their performative contrarianism as a sign of intelligence
Well yeah that was the dig me out tour at old black cat
Doesn’t get any better than that!!

Oh man, sorry I missed you. I was holding up the wall in front of the bar. So what did you think? Was that anything like what a Phish show feels like?
On a much smaller scale, of course. Obviously these are very young musicians trying to find their way in the jammy/psychedelic music scene. For the most part it felt very improvisatory/jazzy with some Meat Puppets thrown in as opposed to the folkier Grateful Dead orientation. Just wondering...

Would have been at 15 tonight with Algiers, but am punting on that. So 15 will be on Saturday if the hobo house show happens.
For historical comparison purposes, last year when I got to 95 shows, I was at my 15th show on March 17th, so was certainly on track.
Thanks for thinking of me Yada, Hutch for the encouragement, and Vas for storing my Wye Oak poster another week or 2.
Heroes aren't born, they're made.Challenged's quest for 100 shows this year may be snuffed pretty quickly.
Sending vibes

Two major music educator conferences cancelled this weekend, so I'm wide open.What does a music educator do? Not joking, legit curious. Like a high school band director?
Facebook keep reminding me that I'll not be going to see Beach Bunny take the stage soonThe ticketing agents app did this TWICE for me to remind me I wasn’t seeing them at two different venues.
Aka, a Challenged fortnight challenge.

We bottled the "mild" raspberry sour I was asking about a while back. Thinking it will be a nice summer refresher. Also had a bottle of the quad I bottled maybe a month ago...after nine days it was super boozy but after a month it's starting to taste nice.I never commented when you were talking about that sour, but you when straight to graduate level stuff with the Sour's and Quads
Well your daughter is an entrepreneur/ businesswomanpart of the problem...$10 for a chore, they are like "meh, make it $20 and I'll consider it"
If you’d just teach them the space Benefit/value math, they could turn that $10 into $12.63 of enjoyment.Well your daughter is an entrepreneur/ businesswomanpart of the problem...$10 for a chore, they are like "meh, make it $20 and I'll consider it"

Haven't even considered that stuff. I'm still unable to make a drinkable DIPA (although I've been know to drink my mistakes, I just make sure never to share those batches)
and getting your 12 yr old to help (with out $$) ...I can barely get mine to do their homework and get the laundry in the basket
Although there are very few steps I feel I need help with, I could never imaging getting them to sanitize the bottles or clean out the fermenter

Was WIllie as packed as Ryan?
only Sidehatch can tell us...
I didn't think it was that bad... I made it up front on the left side then midway went up front on the right side...
but Willie didn't sign my record or anything...usually at end of show he signs a bunch of stuff from stage......boo.
At least I met Paul (Me: "Hey you look like you belong what's your name?", Paul: "Paul"...for those that don't know about Paul English he's a tough guy... Willie's longtime "enforcer") and Billy English and Mickey Raphael... Also I got interviewed by ROadhouse or Willies Roadhouse channel on Sirius for a good 5-10 minutes before the show...... I don't listen to Sirius or radio but my voice may be out there waxing poetically about Willie...

Strange... I never actually opened my Dr. Dog tickets until well... five minutes ago and there isn't a date on the ticket. It just says Dr. Dog/9:30 Club. Hope I can get in!

Where did you buy your tickets?
I bought mine at Anthem. I actually hadn't checked them but it does look like I have the correct date.
And Sidehatch said scanners weren’t working the other night for Julien Baker )not first time that’s happened)…. I guess 930 is clearing the cobwebs..yeah, they just looked at the QR code and asked me to scroll up so they could see more details
Band of Horses tonite for me.

who needs a Yo La Tengo ticket in Wilmington?
I went to the new Songbyrd location last night near Union Market for Indigo De Souza. This new location cuts my commute by 25 minutes (old location was in Adams Morgan), has better sightlines, better sound, and plenty of free street parking. The only problem is that there's hardly any shows I want to see there in the near future...
It was OK. I'd seen them before -- if you've seen them once, you've seen them in 2021. My wife makes an emotional connection between The Funeral and something in her life so that's moreso why I turn up seeing Band of Horses every 18 months when they play The National.Well, Yada said that in response to me posting this.

Kind of crestfallen
I been felled by a really really bad cold…
Additional point: despite some misinformation early on, you CAN get your flu shot and your COVID-booster at the same time.I been felled by a really really bad cold…
TAN: get your flu shots, folks. it's extra important this year, given that we essentially didn't have a flu season last year (thanks, pandemic!) so our collective immunity to influenza is a little lower this year. having a case of the flu also makes you more vulnerable to the coronavirus...
There's an easy way to know if you have a mature parasite living in your digestive tract. Take a drink of water. If you can feel it go all the way down your esophagus, you're fine. If you can't feel it beyond your throat, your parasite is waiting inside your chest, mouth open, swallowing all your water.

no trolling, i have seriously never heard of any of those artists except for lucy.I'm going to cut the baby in half: Iceage and Spirit of the Beehive are legitimately popular bands with sizable followings and publicity (and in the latter case, also a great film about the last days of Franco's regime, but I'm digressing . . . ), Sunflower Bean is iffy, but Gully Boys and Nation of Language are fairly obscure. Not killsaly level obscure, but yeah.
pitchfork reviews just about everything, so something being reviewed there isn't meaningful. dunno about you, but i didn't even keep up with most of their reviews back when i was fully into pitchfork.

I know I'm beatin a dead horse still talking about this, but I'm really wishing I had bought a Richmond (still not sold out) Spoon ticket like I had planned, instead of a 9:30 ticket.
I once spent part of a show drinking in the basement bar. It was a Medeski, Martin, and Wood show that a hippie girlfiend dragged me to. (She saw that I was less than thrilled with the show and granted me permission to go downstairs.)

fyi..
Hello! Thank you for buying tickets to tonight's sold out show with Wet Leg at DC9!
As a reminder this is a late show, doors for this event will now be at 10:30 PM, support will go on at 10:40 PM.
Had to sell my ticket to Wet Leg. Bummed to miss it but not bummed to miss late show
great show, but why so many grandpas in the audience? I'm talking about 60+ I guess I was expecting more like a younger crowd but it was a mostly 35+ crowd.

Uhgg. That was a once is enough band for me. Unfortunately I saw them a 2nd time. But hope you have fun.It was fantastic and everything I expectedGWAR!
GBVSee you there!
I'm uhh... this is another band I know nothing about. It'll be all new territory for me.you only have to listen to 1500 songs to fully know their catalog, you have enough time by Saturday to get that in (most are in the 2 min range)

GBV has probably released 500 songs in that time
they also always play a few songs off their latest release...which is currently: Crystal Nuns CathedralI'm uhh... this is another band I know nothing about.

but if you can only fit in one album, Bee Thousand is a good place to start
Once is definitely enough when it comes from GWAR. Believe me.Uhgg. That was a once is enough band for me. Unfortunately I saw them a 2nd time. But hope you have fun.It was fantastic and everything I expectedGWAR!
although I'm super thankful that they listed the set times..as I really didn't want to catch any of the other 3 bands
and wasn't upset that we rolled in 25 mins late
I don't go for the music, I go for the spectacle and they delivered
was fun to just see 700 people having a blast and covered with blood and semen
Not for everyone and maybe only once a decade...
Also all the Staph had these special white 9:30 commerative GWAR shirts
Just looked weird to see the staff in white shirts
GBV, GBV, GBV, GBV, GBV!
word is venue will not be packed tight...so come on down to the show
hit the stage at 9:15 (but you could show up at 10 and still get 25 songs)
Whoever was throwing beers on the floor should be waterboarded.
I only counted Uncle Bob drink 4 beers. He had one swig from the tequila bottle in the beginning of show, handed bottle to crowd and never took another drink from that bottle. As such the show was a much less sloppy mess by the end compared to the last show I saw at the Ottobar.
They sounded great
I only caught 2 high kicks, bob was having a great time
pounding beers and drinking tequila straight from the bottle
Hutch claimed that Bobby Bare Jr might actually be GBV parsley, and honestly, I couldn't argue that was not a fact after keeping an eye on him for most of the show
it was probably 60% capacity in the club...which was fine with me
Made sure to pick up some merch to support the boys
Apparently NKOTB was spotted at the show
On a sad note, found out right before the show started, one of our friends (who was at the ottobar show last year) died unexpectedly two days prior
after the show, some of them met up with GBV and got the whole band to sign an LP in honor of our fallen friend
(https://i.imgur.com/tWPJUEC.jpeg)
What is GBV parsley?something that doesn't add much to the actual meal.
I encouraged him to come back to the board but he said the board was lame and only three people post. I couldn’t argue with him….:)I have it on good authority there are at least 5 people posting here
Banksy Exhibit, today. Interesting location. Hopefully be able to eat something good, while in town.

Yup per Instagram he is drinking those PBR’s in the bushes outside a beer hall in Austria.
Banksy was AWESOME. Stay away from VIP. We got suckered into thinking it would be something great. You get a dumb poster, and the worst VIP area at the end you have ever seen. I thought the 3 "what is love" dancing guys from the old SNL sketch would jump out.

The Decemberists - Wolf Trap - Wednesday
Heedfest. I am both dreading this and somewhat excited about it. Assuming it will be like a GWAR show for me. One time is enough. But we'll see.
Roxy Music Friday?
$9 nosebleeds on stubhub plus charges I think so based on my calculations if you buy two tickets in the 400s it works out to $16 per ticket
Will they free upgrade is the question ?
I guess I am spoilt but the 400s blow…and I am not good at moving down…I will get caught and busted! I think I look guilty of something bad…I blame my poor slouchy posture and the fact I am guilty of something bad
Going to Roxy Music in my $500 seats and glaring up at you peasants.
Just got back from three weeks in Europe last night and let me tell you, I have zero desire to go to this show at this very second in time but we have another couple going with us so we cannot bail.
$14 beers? Do they sell half-size beers there now?Going to Roxy Music in my $500 seats and glaring up at you peasants.

Intolerable.
We will douse you with $14 beers
I'm confused about Roxy...as I just looked at the Ticketbastard site...they have almost zero 400 seats for sale (litterly only section 414 row G two seats)
the floor is nearly sold out too...which was not the case only a few weeks ago. Maybe there was a massive marketing push to old white dudes??
I assume they upgraded people to lower seats,
the venue looks 80% now...but I bet that's not really the case
They must have given out thousands of tickets to non-profits and such (who I'm sure were like, who the fuck is roxy music?)
I heard More than this got played on some Netflix show and it drove ticket sales…. I hear a lotis that hutch's "people are saying"
Definitely a disappointing set list…really resembles a Ferry solo show
https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/roxy-music/2022/scotiabank-arena-toronto-on-canada-23b0f453.html

Yes, 400. One of the first letters of the alphabet, which I think is the best you can do for the 400's (?)
I don't know anything about upgrades. Isn't that just Hutch hearsay from the Toronto show at this point? If they did upgrade, how would one know which 100 seats are paid for already and which are not?
It would be funny to be upgraded to the floor and be sitting next to JulianI bought the seats on all four sides of my group so there's a potential stink barrier. That one Muse concert where DFA1979 harassed Miss P and I taught me a valuable lesson.

Anybody going to New Order/Pet Shop Boys?
I picked the worst week to go on vacation. For the right price, I would have chosen to see New Order/PSB, Father John Misty, DCFC, and Laufey.
But instead I'll be hiking in the Southwest.

Yeah…I will be going. Only been looking forward to this for two and a half years and will be in the pit right up front!!
New Order is pretty much my favorite band. And Pet Shop Boys not that far behind….and Paul Oakenfold is God. It’s quite the bill really…can’t wait..it’s going to be sick
Only minus is I will not be getting backstage or getting my records signed…dispiriting
Oh and I had an extra pit ticket cause my partner said no go and the two people I reached out to blew me off even though it was free. I listed it on stubhub but am feeling kind of down… I need new and younger friends. Anyways I will be flying solo…say hi
Additionally, the parking passes mean nothing at MPP, especially for shows that are 50% sold.this show looks to be almost sold out (well does the lawn ever sell out?). I think a few pit tickets just showed up

Wait. An hour and a half break between anything happening on stage?? I guess they wanna sell some beers.What? No dude. New Order plays from 7:30 to 9. With 2 Oakenfold performances, there's actually really no downtime in this concert.

Reviews of the last few, Lemonheads shows have been:
1. Trainwrecks
2. So drunk, can't remember words to songs.
3. Like watching someone have a manic episode on stage.
4. People leaving before the show ended.
I, predict a riot.

I would have to imagine there will be tix available. There is generally a price increase day off but it’s usually $2-5 so an out of towner isn’t going to save some cash by buying ahead of time and paying fees.

I was thinking id get a ticket at the door or the thr box office Friday afternoon. Do you think it will sell out? The Thursday Baltimore show still had tickets available at a venue half the size.
Do prices go up at the National the day of show?

Has anyone ever successfully gotten same-day Millennium Stage tickets? Would I need to queue up before the box office opens?
Any tips highly appreciated!
It probably just depends on who the act is/how popular they are.So non-hobo rock like whoever you mentioned is might be a bit more difficult? Good to know.

I literally have no idea what you two are talking about. I checked the listings and I don't think either of them had a show last night.
I take it you were not a fan of NCAA or NBA basketball in the 1980's or 1990's.
Was your intent to butcher Rambler's last name? I still don't get it.

My intent was to butcher the name Kurt Rambis, just as Julian butchered Clyde Drexler.

@space, did you go to Toby Dog?
@space, did you go to Toby Dog?
Yes. They were a trio with the Dr. Dog keyboardist Zach Miller and Patrick Berkery (War on Drugs, Pernice Brothers, bunch of other acts) on drums. They played two Dr. Dog songs (Buzzing in the Light, can't remember the other one but it's one I don't really like) The rest was his solo stuff. Show was ok. I much preferred the Scott McMicken show (o ne of my favorite shows of the year) because:
1. I generally liked his songs more in Dr. Dog. So I probably just like him more in general.
2. He had a much larger, more interesting band.
3. I had heard, gotten to know and liked the McMicken record, I haven't heard the Toby solo stuff.
4. I think McMicken's solo stuff is more varied and interesting. The Toby solo stuff just sounded like a trio doing Dr. Dog rejects.
Said I'd never do this again but a friend invited me and I'll probably have a great time

Does FSS have cheaper tix at the box office or should I just buy them online?

first band starts at 8PM....that doesn't seem likely unless the first band is 1 person with an acoustic guitar
i'm guessing more like 9:45 PM
They took the stage a 10:55 and played a blistering 45 minute set with a kiss cover for good measure

Considering the Liz Phair show, but not sure I want to spend the time, lost a Saturday night or go to Anthem
Beach Fossils. Loving the latest album. Might even buy a t-shirt. And it's a rabbit. (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0947/9132/products/Bunny--WhiteSS_resize_280x420.png?v=1678131909)

For people who attend black cat more often than I do, what time should I expect velocity girl to go on on Saturday?sounds accurate
8 PM doors +2 openers is probably 11 to 1130 by my math, or black cat to push things back more than that to try to keep people in there to 1:30-2?

I'd say the first band starts at 9, and Tuscadero is on by 9:45-10 and plays 45-60 mins, with VG going on between 11-11:330
my guess is it will be all done by 1AM
but you may get more deets after the Friday show
may arrive late, but see you in the pit

Has anyone seen an announcement of whether on not Madonna is covering the costs to keep the Metro open late for her shows? Sounds like it's already going to be a nightmare with the Red line shutdown... This whole not starting until after 10pm for a two hour+ show is stressing me out.. and yes I know there are these things called horseless carriages, just the Green Line is less stressful...
Interpol tomorrow
Just kidding. Got rid of my ticket. Too cold and I want to watch Santa Clause 3 with the kidsInterpol tomorrow
Also, I couldn't help but get a little misty thinking of some of the people I've known at the 9:30 over the years who aren't with us anymore.
Oh man.

can we expand on this? What other purposes do we attend concerts for?When the legal issues are clearer and I can discuss Phish @ SPAC, you will understand.

I'm so laughing at all this. Gurrrrl, I am parking in their parking garage and am so nervous. I have never actually driven there and parked there before. Even with GPS, that part of DC is so freaking confusing to me. God, I hope I can easily find the garage entrance.

Space being concerned about mangling the English language is such sweet irony.

It is apparently more important to protect the sanctity of the language than it is to respect other people's identity. I didn't realize Space has been such a lifelong hardcore prescriptivist. I bet he bristles whenever the OED releases their "new words of the year" list.

not that anyone would want to be referred to as "it", IMO...

Kim Gordon sold out the day Pitchfork gave her album best new music. Classic DC audience move.
Maybe Kim Gordon if I can find a ticket.
Mclusky. Been like 21 years since I last (and only) time I saw them, for free at the Velvet Lounge. They were giving out free beer too for some reason?
That was a 930 Board Classic...all of our old friends were there. Markie. Lulu. Jadetree. Kurosawa. Thirsty. Probably more.
Despite the rumor Markie started, I didn't not go home with kurosawa.

Whoever recognized Bawitaba and Cowboy would be major hits is clearly a genius. If it was Ertegun, esp late in his career, much respect to him.
Kid Rock was unquestionably a great business mind, a marketing genius, super fun and exciting to be around, and he made music execs a ton of money. No surprise Ertegun would love him!

Saw B&S on Friday in Philly...probably one of the most fun concerts I've ever seen. Typical stuff to expect, but it just had such a great party vibe and the band was amazing. Yes, I ended up on stage during "Boy with the Arab Strap", but I also got an 8-year-old girl (her first concert) and dad up on stage too, and to me the best part was watching her just totally not comprehend where she was and what she was doing there, but still dancing and having a great time. Also got to watch their soundcheck with a handful other folks there. At a certain point, Stuart sat down at the piano and started playing "Fox in the Snow" and it was one of those surreal, intimate, and mind-blowing experiences I'll never forget as long as I live. Absolutely stunning.
