I saw Devotchka four times in an 11 month period, though it stretched across two calendar years.

interesting - i can't think of a band, other than a friend's bar-band in college, that i've seen more than twice a year.  i *might* have seen coldplay 3 times in a 12-month period, maybe (HFStival/Nissan/MCI... was that within 12?)
 
 yet another manifestation of my ADD

So far this year I've seen Alejandro Escovedo 7 times, and am hoping for a couple more shows in December.
 
 In previous years, 16 Horsepower, Chris Whitley, The Soft Boys, The Tragically Hip, The Jesus Lizard, and Thin White Rope were bands that I saw multiple times a year.

In this lifetime, not counting bands I'm related to, it would be Moxy Fruvous ...
 
 Back in my college days, NRBQ ...
 
 And all told over the years, I'd estimate I've seen Todd Rundgren, with or without Utopia, about 40 times. But that dates back to 1974 ...

TV on the Radio: 3 times in 2004
 
 I'm not one to follow bands around, so I'm limited by the number of times a band plays the DC/Baltimore  area.

Death Cab for Cutie
 
 Five times in a 12-month period, or three times in a calendar year.  And all in the same city.   :)   I missed two shows, too, matter of fact.

I've seen Social Distortion 7 times this year.  I think they're stalking me because I plan these trips out of town months in advance and they're always playing wherever I end up.  I did leave the area twice to see them this year-- Baltimore 'cause it's close and New Orleans 'cause I wanted to go to the Voodoo Music Festival-- but the other 5 times were just this creepy weird coincidence.
 
 I did see the Pogues three times in one week this year, though.

Against Me! in 2005 at least 8 times, and Lucero at least 6-8 times in 2005 and 2006...without going further than Richmond or Baltimore to see them.
