This week rollcall

[IMAmoose24]

Kasabian and Justice! So psyched.

how were the shows??

Kasabian was solid. Initially I was afraid their stadium size presence would not transfer over well to a club setting. They put that fear to rest by the second song.

Sleigh Bells Tuesday night!

Liturgy on that Sleigh Bells bill looks so weird. I wonder how well they go over.

[K8teebug]

Cloud Nothings Sat
Springsteen Sun (first time.  Not that much of a fan, but I won tickets, so, yay!)

[stevewizzle]

This week is swamped with shows!


Not sure how many of these I will be able to hit but
APTBS at the club (first time back since Scratch Acid!) tomorrow
Plums/Akris at Dynasty Tuesday
Phoned Nil Trio at Candle Haus Wednesday
Alcest/Deafheaven at DC9 Thursday
Janel and Anthony at Amma House Friday
Rat Babies/Akris at Amma House Sunday

... the fuck is amma house?

[killsaly]

Either Alcest, Deafheaven, and Arbouretum on Weds in Baltimore or Alcest, deafheaven, Black Clouds, and Auroboros in DC on Thursday.

Also might go to the Swervedriver show at RNRH on Friday. 

Great couple of days to be an area shoegazer!

[azaghal1981]

Thought you would be at APTBS too.


I totally forgot about that Swervedriver date. Its happening at RNRH makes the decision to skip it and see Janel and Anthony a lot easier.

[killsaly]

I would do APTBS if the tickets were a little cheaper (i know they arent THAT expensive, but if they were headlining the tickets would probably be half what they are) and if they were headlining. 

[Bombay Chutney]

The Joy Formidable/APTBS tonight   (although for some reason I was thinking it was The Pains of Being Pure at Heart opening.  I've been listening to them all weekend.  oops!   I like APTBS better anyway...)

Caps Tue/Sat

Bruuuuuuuce! on Sunday.

noel on wed.

[grateful]

The Halen brothers, Wednesday.

[killsaly]

If anyone is debating between the DC9 and Golden West Alcest shows, maybe the start times will help with this.  I was originally going to do the Weds show, so I could have a day between Alcest and Swervedriver, but then i saw start times.

Weds Golden West:
10:00pm until 1:00am

DC9 on Thurs:
ARØBRØS: 7:30 pm BLCK CLDS: 8:15 pm DF HVN: 9:00 pm ÅLCST: 10:00 pm

[Vas Deferens]

Golden West has the better sound...

[killsaly]

Yeah but unless I can get off of work on Thursday, the midnight start time for Alcest is going to kick my ass. (though I guess I can just go into work extra late on Thurs)

Plus, I do love Arboretum, but I have yet to see Auroboros or Black Clouds.
