Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition

[DeathFromAbove1979]

King Krule
12/6
Rock and Roll Hotel

F'n Awesome...so going to this show

Yes yes yes! Obsessed with this dude. Totally there.

FYI...I didn't realize that the presale went onsale yesterday... it's already sold out for DC (no other cites seemed to sell out the presale? ...well SF did)

So tickets go onsale at 10am 9/27
Appears to be a lot of local interest in the show

I get RNR dropped the ball because since I saw this posted on here tickets have been on sale through their site. I haven't nabbed any tickets yet, waiting til I get paid. Hopefully it doesn't sell out :\

RE: Rock the Bells ticket prices

They were not over $100 per day.  I believe (i was planning to go at one point and looked up ticket prices) that they were as follows:
1 day ticket - $86
2 day ticket - $125

So if you were to do both days, it was around $60 per day.  Which to me is an ok deal considering how many artists were playing.

He is the new Savages.

I genuinely do not understand how you don't like Savages.  They are awesome.  Their music is strong, kick ass, and the lyrics are wonderful.  Plus, their drummer is insane!

[K8teebug]

I do not understand because usually we seem to have similar tastes...

They sound exactly like Siouxsie and the Banshees.

I do agree that we have similar taste...

I don't know what it is about them though.  I haven't heard their whole album yet, but the two songs I heard on SiriusXM didn't do it for me. 

Have you heard Pleasure Leftists?  They sound a bit like Savages (mainly in the vocals) but I really like them.

The singer for PL also has a minimal electronic project with similar vocals called Kiernan Paradise.

Maybe I will give Savages another chance.  When I mentioned them for King Krule, I wasnt trying to diss either (though I have dissed Savages in the past, I admit) just saying that they both have a similar buzz.  And sometimes this buzz turns me off of an artist before I give them a chance.

I've never heard any Savages. King Krule is amazing though. I eagerly anticipated his EP from earlier this year. I found his Soundcloud page and couldn't stop listening. Unique kid, great music quality. Wonder how his live show will be.

...I meant the presale was sold out...not general onsale.  
I got mine this morning no problem...although I'm annoyed by the additional $12.75 fee for $15 tickets.  I would have gone to the box office, but was worried it would sell out.

Give the whole album another chance.  I've found that sometimes the things I like the most are things I really disliked at first...sometimes.

[K8teebug]

I will check out PL.  I think I've heard them, but I'm not sure!

[killsaly]

I believe they have a new one in the works... Definitely worth a listen!
