a motherfuckin solid gig tomorrow night: air, sondre lerche, sea wolf! w000lf!

[J~$$$]

I have this weird tic. Anytime someone mentions sondre lerche I have to say "he's a Norwegian prodigy!" because when I bought his first album there were stickers all over his cover promoting this fact and I thought it was a strange marketing ploy.

Yeah I saw Apple Pie Fabio's doppelganger heading in there the other day with some wrinkled old hunchback in a tweed jacket.

[mountmccabe]

I'm gonna see Les Savy Fav on Saturday at the Bowery Ballroom.

I'm verily excited.

Oh man

[suprefan]

No cameras .

Amy, do you always listen to the rules? They are not going to pat you down ok? And just have your husband put it in his pocket and they wont say anything. Just watch it on the flash and they wont do anything to you, at the worst they ask you to put it away.. If I listened to these ''rules'' I would never have photos to show anyone.

[brokenDREAMS]

Wow, special intimate performance Stephen Marley @ TempleBar (santa monica, ca) Thursday (October 4)!!! Don't sleep on this one guys if you want to see this show because tickets will be gone very very soon...

templebarlive.com

[rage patton]

Shiiiiiiiiit... I just realized the Hives are playing in Seattle the day after Rodrigo y Gabriela.
But going to that show would mean missing another day of classes...

I really hope the Hives are added to Vegoose.

[garrett222]

Anyone else going to the Mum show Oct 24 in LA? I'm really curious who is in the band. Wikipedia says that the girl members are no longer in it. Who does the singing??

[bmack86]

Oh man

John, it should be fantastic, yes? I've never seen Les Savy Fav before, and I just happened to find this show on the Bowery's website. If I were in New York one day earlier, I would have gone to see A Place to Bury Strangers, as they seem like they would be intense, and intensely loud, live.

[bballarl]

I really want to see the Black Crowes with Buffalo Killers but it's pretty expensive and at the Orpheum. I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

[ewiggy]

New Pornographers were good tonight. Lavendar Diamond makes me want to kill myself, except for one song called 'open your heart', after which i tried to convince Keriann that it was a Camera Obscura cover because it sounds nothing like LDs other songs. it is not. but they're totally biting from CO.

the singer chick from LD should really look into less of a career with this band and more of a career as a comedian. i lol'd.

there was one terrible moment (ok, there were several, but i choose to tell you about this one) during LD where the guitarist made a comment about not having a beer, and then he said to the audience "hey, i have 13 days today.." and the audience was completely silent. like no one got it. it was pretty sad. he was obviously looking for encouragement, or a WOOOO or something. sorry sober dude.

Neko and Dan were both there tonight, making it just about 300 people on stage. there were two guys on the left that didn't do anything. they have like, an extra keyboardist and an extra guitarist. they should trim that shit up.

anyway it was good and we had more fun than everyone at the LCD/AF show combined. maybe.

also this bartender at the fonda with a faux hawk must really either hate life or his job or me. maybe he's just upset about his untimely and unattractive haircut.

[arbouler]

i am

dunno about the details. but i know i like them

how dare you make fun of lavender diamond!!!

the chick hit the notes spot on last night. shes an amazing vocalist. and i love all their songs. i first saw them when they opened for deerhoof with ariel pink at the echo, they were the best of the night.

[ewiggy]

you were drugged, akmal. they're terrible. insanely repetitive and over the top weird.

[paulb]

I was just checkin around ticketmaster, and i saw the Foo Fighters are playing the Fonda on Monday for 20 bucks, tix go on sale today at 5pm...sounds pretty cool. I saw them in 2003 and it was really good, and then saw the acoustic tour and was highly dissapointed... i think id see them if they came back and were doing a rock show...

[mistdevil]

something weird about getting those tickets tho..

[sonofhal]

I bought the Lavender Diamond album on the back of that song. The rest of it turned out to be a load of complete shite.

Off to see Prince tonight. Should be rather good, if reports from previous nights are anything to go by.

[keriann]

sorry sober dude.
hahahahaha. Poor guy.

I'm really surprised that Lavender Diamond has gotten to where they are. Girl has a pretty voice but beyond that...they are pretty mediocre. I'd even almost say bad.

Hey Mist,

It looks like a couple of us are going to be checking out Chk Chk Chk pretty soon, in different venues..

I heard recently that their second singer/drummer, John Pugh, has left the band.. Have you guys heard anything about this??

A little bummed, I thought he added a nice contrast to Nic Offer on occasions..

[corbo]

air tonight w00t

[dorkfish]

John Pugh has left the band
That is true.

[suprefan]

I was just checkin around ticketmaster, and i saw the Foo Fighters are playing the Fonda on Monday for 20 bucks, tix go on sale today at 5pm...sounds pretty cool. I saw them in 2003 and it was really good, and then saw the acoustic tour and was highly dissapointed... i think id see them if they came back and were doing a rock show...

Check the Foo Fighters thread in here, under lots of discussion. They had a pre sale yesterday for it, that sold out in a milisecond. Nobody knows if there are even more tickets going to be sold at 5pm, because it could be a formality and all the tickets were sold yesterday.




I might be going to Street Scene tomorrow, might is a big translation for no if things dont pan out. I woudl be going for free too.



Muse tonight, rain is not as imminent as they thought.

[JustSteve]

i love l.a. weathermen, they all seriously had the biggest boner the last couple days because they had something to talk about. once again, a major cocktease. my favorite is when they show the temps for the so. cal. area. why not just average it out instead of showing all the areas that are 1or 2 degrees apart. 68 hollywood,68 pomona,68 newport,67 irvine,66 santa monica,69 long beach,68 burbank,68 santa ana...fuck it, it's about 68 degrees everywhere.

[psychic friend]

Nobody knows if there are even more tickets going to be sold at 5pm,

some people do know.

haha.

[luckyface]

To all who were talking shit about the weather in LA... A HUGE wall of storms are coming in off the coast (check the radar on weather.com). The first wave should stop by 6 supposedly, but thunderstorms starting around 10. We might get another shortened Air set tonight.

[suprefan]

some people do know.

haha.

Well of course you know.

Have fun last night at the Bowl? Tessa tried to get a hold of you to meet up. It wouldve been nice to finally meet you after 5 years.

[mistdevil]

[PassiveTheory]

Six days till' Dredg, whooo

[RockStr4Life]

Damien Rice was so great last night. He told these crazy long stories about a few of his songs like Amie, and got hammered on stage at the end of the set and told the story of Cheers Darlin and closed it out with that song.

Air tonight! Yeahhhh

[dubvulture]

Ah, I am so relieved. I found a friend who'll come with me to see Simian Mobile Disco on Satuday. I also have SD Street Scene on Sunday, AIR on Monday, Arctic Monkeys on Tuesday, Klaxons on Wednesday, Ladytron on Thursday, Girl Talk on Friday, and Neighborhood Fest on Saturday. Then Justice at Detour, SD, and L.A. twice at the beginning of October. Then Interpol and Vegoose at the end of October. The next month and a half is going to be orgasmic, can't wait. Happy times commence!

[suprefan]

OFF TO MUSE

Venue wasn't even half full, but seeing as how this 1500 capacity venue almost never sells out (unless it's Morrissey, Prince, APC, STP, etc), it was a strong turnout. Good crowd, except for a couple obnoxious, drunks that kept yelling incoherent, irrelevant nonsense. Encore break felt like the longest ever, and when they finally came out, these girls in front of me were yelling requests at Kazu, and I yelled "play whatever you want" and she said "what? play whatever I want?" LOLZ. She and her dog ran past me while I was in line, but they went into the tourbus so I didn't get to say hi or anything. Good times. Her dancing is hypnotic and really fits the music, and a lot of songs had extended outros, which was bonus. No "Misery", though. Oh wells.

[rage patton]

I saw them in 2003 and it was really good, and then saw the acoustic tour and was highly dissapointed... i think id see them if they came back and were doing a rock show...

Are you serious? You were disapointed by the acoustic show? Did you go to the one in Vancouver? Because seriously, that show was amazing.
By the way... see you at Justice!

Sept 27 - Def Leppard/Styx @ GM Place
Oct 13 - Justice @ Commodore Ballroom
Oct 20 - Ozzy/Rob Zombie @ GM Place

Nov 6 - Dropkick Murphys @ Commodore Ballroom

[luckyface]

I got back from Air a little bit ago. I thought they put on a great, albeit extremely short, show. They only played for an hour 20 or so, which kind of stinks, but oh well. The rain actually wasn't too bad, as it didn't really pick up until after the show ended.

I will say that I sat next to some of the worst people I have ever seen at a concert. No one stood up the entire show and most of them came to the show to talk loudly with their friends. We also had a group of 4 extremely drunk douchebags who obviously were not in our section occupying random seats whenever someone got up. When the people would come back, they would tell the people who were SITTING there before getting up to take care of whatever to move to open seats elsewhere. One of them looked like Kid Rock, and he was about as cool as him too. He made chimpanzee noises instead of cheering. Luckily we only had to deal with them for like 4 songs.

I would love to give you a setlist, but I can't remember it. Anyone want to help me out?

[arbouler]

went to see sea wolf + sondre + air. got there on time but the box office couldnt locate my name on the guestlist. it was retarded. i missed the first three songs of sea wolf and i was supposed to shoot their gig. i was pissed that i wasnt allowed to continue shooting for the night cuz supposedly my photo pass was only good for sea wolf. goddamnit.

i really wanted to shoot sondre's gig. hes so gorgeous. lol. he put on a great one-man show. i'm always impressed by his musicianship. then air went on, and we decided to leave after three songs...yup...i just remembered not digging them that much at coachella, and again last night. i let a couple sit in our seats after we left the venue, so that was one good deed ive done in the past couple years or so.

[ThomThom]

Luckyface,

I fucking kid you not man, I think I was right next to you for the AIR show tonight. My girlfriend and I had to deal with these 4 douchebags (2 women 2 men) that kept talking during the sets and also just hopping around from seat to seat in our row. Everybody was getting fucking irritated by them. I only stood up for the last three songs, I wasn't feeling too well and was also pretty fucking fed up with the crowd. That sucks man I totally would have acknowledged you...

Woah seriously? That definitely sounds like them the same people. Where were your seats? If you were sitting next to me, I was the dude at the end who stood the whole show.

[ThomThom]

Woah seriously? That definitely sounds like them the same people. Where were your seats? If you were sitting next to me, I was the dude at the end who stood the whole show.

It was definitely you man, I was literally right next you! I was wearing a green military hat. I think you were with a girl that had a white sweatshirt on, I was sitting side by side with her, I was to your left. God those people were fucking annoying, my girlfriend actually ended up talking shit to the bum with the long hair and threatened to call security if he didn't leave, sure enough that's when they all left. At one point one of the guys who's seat they stole while he went to the bathroom was standing on the side near you for like an entire song just to please these dickheads.

[suprefan]

Muse was good, Forum was better but still fun. No rain until after the show was over, saw lightning then it was a total downpour the wholw ay home.

[dubvulture]

yeah, it's a great time for concerts this & next month, isn't it? I'm loving it. would love it more if the teddybears and the white stripes hadn't cancelled on me. blah~! that would've been the perfect thing to do tonight.

at least you can still catch the teddy bears at detour. but yeah, i purposely took the crap-end of the schedule at work so i could call in all my favors to go to the shows. i have coworkers gladly bending backwards to accomodate me. =)

[JustSteve]

What a fun 10 days:

L.A. Invasion last saturday-mainly went to see Foo Fighters
Justin Timberlake at Staples Monday
Foo Fighters taping of Nissan Live Sets at Fox Studios on Tuesday(premiers October 1st at yahoo.com)
Muse in Irvine Friday
and on Monday will be Foo Fighters at the Fonda

it feels like when i used to work in the music biz and hit up shows like this week after week.

unfortunately, tuesday it is off to the sick house for me. had sinus surgery a couple weeks ago and turns out the crap they pulled out of them is resistant to all oral meds, so gotta go and get a picc line put in for a few weeks of i.v. meds. i shoulda been in this week, but music, as always, tends to come first for me.

[gmoneyak]

yea a friend from ny linked me to the pollstar post about it. Im kinda pissed but I don't want to catch klaxons again for the 3rd time that night. chkchkchk will still rock the avalon.

Yeah agreed...It's still going to be a good show.

I'm catching them at the Mezzanine the day before, a late addition to the fall tour, 1st show.. I'm expecting some insane energy, since they had the last 3 weeks off!!

SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!



Hahaha... Awesome reference, fuckin' Bill & Ted!!

[KenMixtape]

There was a whopping 38 people at the The Besnard Lakes show at the troubadour tonite. I guess everyone was at Air or Muse or hadn't heard of this wonderful band yet.
Despite the small turnout they were in good spirits (possibly drunk), and they explained that their midwest tour was a bust, and they thanked L.A. for saving them. The sound was a wall of sonic psychedelic guitar with nice drifty far away vocals.
Best time I've had at the Troubadour this year so far. I'd absolutely see them again anywhere.

[JelloPuddingChat]

Besnard Lakes was another show missed thanks to work.

[sonofhal]

Saw Prince last night, on the final show of his 21 in London. He played for just over 2 hours, and it was bloody amazing. First arena show i've acually enjoyed by anyone. He rolled out hit after hit, even doing a 5 song set with just him and a piano as his first encore. Purple Rain was mind blowing.

I wanted to go to that show, but I was in Manhattan. That's a bummer that the turnout was small, but cool that they played well. They're a very very good band.

I'll be seeing Les Savy Fav tonight.

[luckyface]

Hahaha! That is CRAZY! I remember looking over at you being like what the FUCK! I was actually going to go to security the next time they came over, but they didn't come back it looks like due to your lady. Me and my woman were ripping on them all night.

Man, what are the odds? I thought you were sitting closer to the front for some reason. What did you think of the show?

[suprefan]

Hey cant respond for a while Rocke, he is flying to Italy as we speak. Oh my videos of LCD Soundsystem are Get Innocuos, North American Scum and New York City. I finally went through them, I'll post em for you soon.




sonofhal, you are one lucky person to get to see the Purple One.





SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO TONIGHT!!! Yeah!!

Ah that's right. He will get it when he gets back then.

Can't wait to see that Get Innocuous video. Love that song!

[suprefan]

Yeah, soon dont worry. I'll put up some LCD pictures soon too. Did you see our group photo?

[luckyface]

I did. We pretty much rock.

[suprefan]

Yep yep. With Tom Morello looming in the backround. I am uploading video I'll post in the AF Bowl thread.

[ewiggy]

i really wanted to shoot sondre's gig. hes so gorgeous. lol. he put on a great one-man show. i'm always impressed by his musicianship.

awww that really sucks akmal. i was looking forward to your pictures of him. wah.

[arbouler]

awww that really sucks akmal. i was looking forward to your pictures of him. wah.

i know. i love sondre so much. i did take pics of him from the troubadour gig last year though. its somwehre on flickr.

[gaypalmsprings]

I saw Barry Manilow @ Jimmy Kimmel last night (also saw The Rock). I love free stuff.

Interpol is playing Outdoors @ Kimmel on Oct 25.

[suprefan]

NO WAY


Edit:



IM IN

[amyzzz]

We had the most incredible luck at the Air show last night. Not only did suprefan Chris give us a ride to the show (thanks, Chris!), we were seated next to schoolio, chrislasf, and kerrieann; and chrislasf gave us a ride back to our motel (thanks, Chris!). Crazy coincidence, huh? It was raining right before and after the show, and we would've had to walk a mile and a half uphill (both ways!!) in the rain, unless we decided to stack-park.

I thought the AIR show was damn near amazing and definitely not too short. Come on, we already had to deal with that super short Coachella set, and this was much longer that that. They did have a bit of a slow start--the vocals and harmonies didn't always sound right in the first several songs, but I swear as the night went on, each song sounded better and better and BETTER. Rain sprinkled on and off but never enough to get in the way. Gabe was saying that this was about the best the sound has ever been at the Greek.

Good show, and it was really cool meeting all those boardmembers out of nowhere. I should also mention that at Muse (in Mesa), Somewhat Damaged recognized me and introduced himself.

[suprefan]

Glad you had a great time, yeah what are the odds you sat next to all of them?

[shakermaker113]

so what songs did Air play? I'm curious as to what I missed... didn't go to their SF shows because I felt they were charging too much.

[garrett222]

I sometimes wish i had a job in LA or SF so that i could see shows every day of the week if i wanted. Ugh..Did you locate yourselves in these areas because of music, or just always lived there? i like my job, but somedays i want to quit and live in a big city for the music...but if i had to give up my job i wouldn't have enough money to see all the concertS! catch 22. unless they have high paying jobs out in LA that are easy to get. Does everyone in LA make a ton of dough?

[luckyface]

so what songs did Air play? I'm curious as to what I missed... didn't go to their SF shows because I felt they were charging too much.

I didn't get the order, but I think the setlist looked something like this. I might have missed a song or two. If anyone has the whole thing, please feel free to correct me.

Electronic Performers, Napalm Love, Talisman, Run, Venus, Cherry Blossom Girl, Remember, Redhead Girl, People in the City, Mer du Japon, Don’t Be Light, Kelly Watch the Stars
Encore: Radian, Sexy Boy, La Femme d.Argent

[PassiveTheory]

I'm envious of you all... I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves.

Stupid 21+ rules... ;____;

[shakermaker113]

I sometimes wish i had a job in LA or SF so that i could see shows every day of the week if i wanted. Ugh..Did you locate yourselves in these areas because of music, or just always lived there?

lol I don't even work in sf. I work 40 miles south of sf, soon to be 60... I decided to move here mostly for concerts. I continue to live here because it's an awesome city.

if I had a job in LA or SF though... damn that'd be nice.

that's awesome. what camera do you use that can take pics in such low light conditions without getting blurry?

[arbouler]

rufus wainwright does judy garland tonight at the bowl! ive never seen him perform before (missed him at coachella, i think i passed out or something). he better be good tonight.

[suprefan]

that's awesome. what camera do you use that can take pics in such low light conditions without getting blurry?

Canon SD630, its my ''people picture'' camera. You need those bright lights like that to get those results though, I dropped the exposure down to make them look all dark and the lights would stick out more, same with the other one. I'll post a few more soon.

sooo i didnt get to take pics of him, but at rufus wainwright at the hollywood bowl tonight, i did tap sondre on the back and said "you look awfully familiar..." cuz i wasnt sure if it was him or not. but i was almost certain cuz i saw his uberly cute pointy nose. ha!

pics of rufus will be up tomorrow. he did such a great job covering judy garland's stuff. martha wainwright was terrific too!

[ewiggy]

omg. did you talk to him? i need more details than that.

[arbouler]

omg. did you talk to him? i need more details than that.

ha yea i did for a second. i was waiting for someone, and we're both in a hurry. all i got to say was: "hey! yea i saw you play at the greek a couple days ago. you were great! me and my bud left cuz we just wanted to see you!"

he's all like: "ha, thanks!"
i was like: "nice meeting you!"
he said: "nice meeting you too. take care!"

i totally forgot to give him my business card. wanted to talk more but didnt have the time.
i just wanna bite his pointy nose off (in a good way). hehe

[ewiggy]

that's cute.

ooooh maybe he lives here.

[tessalasset]

in the words of one of the performers at street scene today, it was like "nochella." seriously...there was like no one there. air was the second to last headliner at one stage and i walked over to their set as they were playing and could walk up almost to the barricade. it was really fucking sad. z trip had about 50 people in the tent when he first started, and the sound was TERRIBLE for his set. i felt so bad for him. simian mobile disco was alright, but not really my thing. brand new rocked, but its hard getting used to jesse completely changing up the songs. it's not bad, just...unexpected and hard to sing along with. vnv nation was actually pretty damn good. i've heard great things about them and was definitely captivated without knowing any of the material. album leaf was like EITS coachella. it was sunny out but with a breeze and the background of the area by coors amphitheatre reminded me of arizona so it was gorgeous and just kinda felt like heaven a little bit. the killers have pretty much bottled up las vegas and taken it on tour with them. their show is now so extravagant, so much excess, it almost makes me want to throw up. they started out with a sigur ros-esque scrim that showed videos and larger images of the band. they shot out a lot of confetti and brandon still can't sing. but the crowd was loving it. we left after four songs and drove back up to la. it seems like street scene has lost enough fans now that they can successfully move back to the streets of downtown san diego no problem.

[suprefan]

Wow, way to go Live Nation you royally screwed this one up. I wonder if the guy who sold it is crying because something he helped create into a staple in SD has now been beat to death. LN made the worst decision in buying this festival, but odds are they will change its name and do something else with it like an article the other day was stating. I figured everyone will still not go just to protest and show them that this wasnt the way SS was meant to be. Guess we can add that to the list of festivals that will no longer exist after this year.

Vegoose
Bang
Street Scene

After this year's scheduling, ACL deserves to be on that list.

I haven't heard anyone say they've played that this tour. I was so pissed. Am I wrong, anybody?

[luckyface]

Yep. This leg alone, it has been played:

2007/09/09 - Toronto Island Park; Toronto, CA
2007/09/18 - Dodge Theatre; Phoenix, AZ, US

[algunz]

Who's going to Ulrich Schnauss next week, and do you think it's worth the drive from the OC? He seems a bit sleepy for a live show.

[RockStr4Life]

I got back from Air a little bit ago. I thought they put on a great, albeit extremely short, show. They only played for an hour 20 or so, which kind of stinks, but oh well. The rain actually wasn't too bad, as it didn't really pick up until after the show ended.

I will say that I sat next to some of the worst people I have ever seen at a concert. No one stood up the entire show and most of them came to the show to talk loudly with their friends. We also had a group of 4 extremely drunk douchebags who obviously were not in our section occupying random seats whenever someone got up. When the people would come back, they would tell the people who were SITTING there before getting up to take care of whatever to move to open seats elsewhere. One of them looked like Kid Rock, and he was about as cool as him too. He made chimpanzee noises instead of cheering. Luckily we only had to deal with them for like 4 songs.

I would love to give you a setlist, but I can't remember it. Anyone want to help me out?

LA fans can suck sometimes. That's definetly a pet peeve of mine talking during shows. I did see a show in New York at there was just as much talking as in LA. Thats funny that you guys ended up standing by each other. A little behind on the posts but I have to go onto campus to use internet.

[luckyface]

Who's going to Ulrich Schnauss next week, and do you think it's worth the drive from the OC? He seems a bit sleepy for a live show.

Just see him at the Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa on the 7th if you don't want to drive. Although Manual is amazing, and would be worth the trip by himself (he is not playing the Costa Mesa date).

And I SHOULD be there, although something has come up that might require me to go to Phoenix that weekend now. If not Friday, I will be there for the Sunday show.

[psychic friend]

MIDLAKE tomorrow

[bballarl]

Arctic Monkeys tomorrow

Thanks Lucky. I think I might just do that. Maybe I'll see you on Sunday.

[suprefan]

Well as if there couldn be other things to add to my schedule. Brand Ne and Thrice added 2 more show sin San Diego @ SOMA Nov 7th and 8th, there goes having a couple of extra days off that week. Pre sale on Ducatking if anyone is interested.

[luckyface]

Thanks Lucky. I think I might just do that. Maybe I'll see you on Sunday.

Sweet, I will let you know if I end up having to do that. To answer your previous question, I only know one person who saw Ulrich live, but she said he was phenomenal. But this was for his last tour, not the 2007 version. I'd say you should go.

PS: Tix are only $8 for the Detroit Bar show. I have seen pictures of the venue, and the place looks amazing.

[tessalasset]

its really really tiny and it has a pool room. it's pretty tight. im kinda shocked he's playing there actually.

[ewiggy]

detroit bar is right by my house and has the best name.

it's in a strip mall sandwiched between like, a dry cleaner and a donut shop. the decor is awesome and everyone that works there is really friendly and approachable. which is not something i've run into a lot in these parts.

[arbouler]

MIDLAKE tomorrow

me too!!!

Well the Smashing Pumpkins were excellent tonight....they played Zero, bullets with butterfly wings, 1979, today, tonight tonight....

they played for about 2h 5min or so....long setlist it felt like, really awesome show. During the song United States instead of going into the Star Spangel Banner, they went into O Canada, which made the crowd very happy. It was alot better than I expected...they did 2 encores...overall great energy and fun show. Billy made a speech at the end about how his cd was #2 in america, but it was #1 in Canada, and thanked us for not buying Bon Jovi that week, and said he admitted Bon Jovi had better hair than he did. He seemed very genuine and blown away by the audience. I saw a fan with a setlist at the end of the show, and the last song on the set was Ava Adore, but they played many more after that tune...so they must have just been throwing shit in since they were having a good time.

[superfiction]

yeah im glad they were good for you cuz seattle sucked. and theyre probably my favorite band. so. poop.

So did they play Ava Adore? And yeah, its not about wanting to see the hits, I wanna hear something rare. Did they do Superchrist? Drown? Silverf**k?

[dorkfish]

Went and saw Bad Brains last night. They were awesome through and through...except for the fact that H.R. is no longer capable of being a performer. If you're trying to sing (not yell like he use to...but we all knew his voice was shot in the 90s) "Right Brigade", your hands shouldn't be in your pockets...

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1110/1431448513_e5862d50f6.jpg

[bmack86]

That's quite a setlist tho. But, yeah, I would want to see H.R. go crazy at a Bad Brains show.

[dorkfish]

H.R. can't move from a 3 foot radius circle, let alone go crazy. He's into it. He's just not capable of doing much besides I Love I Jah and the newer songs (which were built around his current voice). I hope there's a good recording of Pay to Cum so you can hear how awkward his voice is.

it is a cool little bar, was my watering whole for quite awhile back before having a kid(it's about a mile from my house in newport). a friend used to do rock and roll karaoke on sunday nights there, don't remember a lot of those times ;) saw modest mouse there a couple years ago for a surprise set, too. they get some good shows once in awhile. just don't eat at the drive through mexican place there on the corner of 19th and Placentia. it used to be an Alberto's, but sucks even more now!

Oh I see, the fucking asshole decides to make only the Canadian show a proper setlist because his new piece of shit record wasn't number one here? FUCK Billy Corgan.

Yeah I'll grab that this weekend. I'm sorry, I'm really busy with work and shows and school and stuff during the week. I will send you a PM and we can set up something convenient.

Amy, I'll get that check in the mail soon as well. If there is a rush please let me know.

Andrew, no rush. I was actually joking about supre's impatience. I trust you.

[rage patton]

Wow... so it sounds like the Pumpkins show in Vancouver was actually one of the few good ones.

[suprefan]

So yeah, We Are Scientists is playing at Echoplex on Sunday for $5!!!! Its part of the Swerve Festival. I am sooo in, 21 + too so no kiddies messing up the evening.

[bmack86]

I'm gonna go to all the free Swerve Fest events. Barnsdall Art Park is an amazing place for a concert, i tellyawhat

[Somewhat Damaged]

Anyone hear of the Black Angels? I was browsing through an old Spin magazine at work last week and saw that they'd been at this year's Bonnaroo, and so was surprised to see that they'll be descending upon Plush tomorrow night. I'll be working so I'll be getting paid to hear them.

Also, just found out yesterday that the Melvins will be playing October 21 at my job. Pretty much all the employees want to see the show, so considering I'll be out of town the following weekend for Vegoose, I'm probably going to be one of the folks who'll have to work that night.

[suprefan]

Still though, you can listen and get paid to do so.

You have to see The Black Angels. Like, stop working when they come on. They play really thick, bluesy drones. Kind of heavy, mostly because it's all fuzzed out. They'll put you in a nice trance. Really good live.

[bmack86]

They're playing the Swerve fest stuff this weekend. It's free and in a great location. Everybody go to it.

[keriann]

I think I might. I've always wanted to see Black Angels.

[mountmccabe]

The Black Angels are awesome. And they are awesome live. They are headlining the Rhythm Room here in Phoenix on Thursday.

[Somewhat Damaged]

Awesome, glad to hear it. And supre, I was mentioning that I had to work the show in a positive way. Like, not only don't I have to pay the $8 cover, I'll be making money (not much, but some is better than none) while there.

Oh yeah, rage patton, one of the bands that played last night was called O'Death and I thought you might dig them. They had a sort of Gogol Bordello vibe. I haven't heard much Gogol Bordello but the energy the band played with and the crowd interaction (about 40 people to a 10:00 show on a Monday night in Tucson) struck me as being reminiscent. I struck up a conversation with the girl selling their merchandise for the sole purpose of finding out if they may be coming up to your neck of the woods soon. (They won't, can't get into Canada.) But I got their Myspace address (http://www.myspace.com/odeath) if you wanted to check 'em out.

[tessalasset]

i might see black angels next week at troub. in fact i think i will.

[ewiggy]

hooray for this friday. who is going to the national?

[miscorrections]

i am. holla.

[arbouler]

so at midlake tonight i saw clark duke (i see him at every concert)
and conor oberst bumped into me. i was like, uh excuse you...
he went on stage to sing with maria taylor.
supposedly the national dudes were at the show but couldnt spot them.
and this band wild youth were amazing. theyre only 12 but really fuckin good. its like watching school of rock live. they covered midlake, band of horses, bowie and nada surf. real cool

[ewiggy]

wild youth vs. tiny masters of today cagematch. go!

[arbouler]

theyre doing a dj set at shortstop after the gig. i might go to the dj set.

To get back on topic, I am going to some young professional fundraiser thing at the Honolulu Academy of Art on Friday (despite being neither a professional nor capable of providing funds) for which various djs of dubious caliber will be spinning. And then on Saturday I'm gonna see these guys (http://www.myspace.com/ctrlaltdeletehawaii) and these guys (http://www.myspace.com/themalcognitas).

And anyone in the Berkeley area should totally go to the free Girl Talk / Dan Deacon thing on Monday.

[brownbuffalo]

unfortunately the music scene isn't that great out there. for bigger acts look at the pipeline cafe but besides that looking for flyers of reggae is your best bet. i was living in waikiki and i could hardly ever find anything decent. most of the time asking locals would get me the most info. i guess thats the trade off for living in paradise.

I caught !!! last night, another good show.. It was a completely different setlist than Coachella's performance:

Yadnus
Must be the Moon
All My Heroes are Wierdos
Myth Takes
Bend Over Beethoven
??? - a new song, funk/soul in sound... followed by an electro dance tune..
Heart of Hearts
Intensify

..as best as I could remember...

Their woman singer defintely has more of an expanded role, taking over John Pugh's prescence.. I thought she delivered with awesome energy, even crowd surfing toward the end of the show.. Nice

Overall, another sweaty dance party..

wow all the hits in the beginning.. voxtrot was pretty chill tonight I gotta say. not too many peeps so it made the mood even chiller.

[luckyface]

!!! was great tonight at the Avalon, although their Coachella performance was better (don't know what could have topped that). I actually was able to score the setlist from the soundboard too! This is what they played (some of which I cannot read):

Yadnus
Must be the Moon
Myth Takes
Bend Over Beethoven/???
New Name
All of My Heroes Are Weirdos
Get Up
Heart of Hearts
Intensified

The venue was actually pretty cool, too. My first time there and definitely did not have any complaints.

[tessalasset]

now imagine being up front center for sigur ros :)

[gmoneyak]

!!! didn't play Get Up or A New Name in S.F.... But they did play this:

Not gonna lie, I would go to that too Any. Bad Religion, Social D, JEW, Bravery, Hot Hot Heat, Bedouin Soundclash... sounds like good times for all.

[TomAz]

I love Social D.

[bmack86]

Social D bored me to death when I saw them live.

[bballarl]

Bryan, Black Angels is at 5:45 for sure on Saturday.

[bmack86]

Is that when they play, or when the show starts? That definitely changes things for me. I get off work at 6, because they don't listen when I request days off.

[bballarl]

When they play. Fake sick towards the end of the day. Or have someone cover the last hour of your shift. Bribe them with drugs.

[Somewhat Damaged]

Black Angels were awesome last night. I got to work the back entrance, meaning I had to make sure people didn't try sneaking in through the back or leave with drinks. There were about 60 people there and they were all safely inside watching the show so I pretty much got to see their entire set without interruption. Their drummer is ferocious, their guitar work is mesmerizing, and of all the bands that get name checked as sounding like the Velvet Underground, they actually do, particularly on their last song. I spoke with the lead singer afterwards and asked how their Bonnaroo experience was and if we could expect them at Coachella next year. He said they got to play at night at Bonnaroo, which is the ideal time to experience their music, and that they're hoping to land a gig at Coachella but that it's really competitive. Their album covers and the posters they had for sale were also really nice; I'd have liked to get one of each but I didn't have any money and they couldn't take credit cards. This is a band to keep an eye on.

[bmack86]

That !!! setlist isn't nearly as nuts as the 2005 set they played at the El Rey. that was an amazing show. Everyone needs to hear Guiliani live.

[tessalasset]

holy shit, obadiah parker is playing edgefest???? that's fucking awesome.

[canexplain]

phil lesh and friends .. filmore denver tomorrow night .. canx**

[captncrzy]

My BFF and I are going to see The Tossers tomorrow night at The Abbey in Chicago. Traditional Irish/punk? I'm in.

[Somewhat Damaged]

Just got a call from the one coworker at Plush who isn't working on both Friday and Saturday. She wants to see a show at Congress tomorrow night and is thus willing to trade shifts with me -- she was due to work tomorrow, I was due to work Saturday -- meaning I can catch !!! at Congress on Saturday now. Excitement level: elevated.

oct 27th @ fat city
blasthaus presents mstrkrft halloween ball

...with Candy, Treats, Ghosts, and a special Halloween video installation provided by blasthaus & *onthefly films. Costume attire strongly suggested.

MSTRKRFT's JFK and ALP are here to up the ante as rock's merger with electro continues to incite, excite, and rumble its way into dance charts the world over. They've been smashing down musical boundaries between punk, house, grime, electro, and more since their 2004 remix of The Panther's "Thank Me With Your Hands," and haven't looked back since. After the universal success of Death From Above 1979, the duo's rock & roll disco dance project with drummer Sebastian Grainger, it was clear the world was ready for the fresh and engaging sound of MSTRKRFT.

[jackstraw94086]

Why do you coddle them with their comfortable speed, Brad?

400 people who've never been to Fat City and probably never will again.

This french electro thing is going to be the death of SF. The next Get Freaky is going to host a bunch of them too. It's going to be an all out clash of mop tops & white belts vs. leather, feathers, and fedoras.

The apocalypse draws nigh.

[PassiveTheory]

Dredg was good tonight. 'Nuff said. A bit too much new material, but whatever...

[jackstraw94086]

you do realize that MSTRKRFT are basically another dirty electro house choppy sample formulaic ed banger type act.... right?

I didn't call them french. I called it the french electro thing. I don't care who's been doing it longer or where it started. I'm talking about where the majority of abject worship lies now.

ya, they were suppose to be at Wakarusa last year, but because of the pediofile sp thingy that was going on with one of their members, they cancelled ... grrrrrrr .. ya, know i just added up what my next few shows costs, and only for tickets, it was over 1k .... so you have to double that after the other you have to put out for dinner, and all of that (tics were for 2 people) ... canx**

[jackstraw94086]

Certain glitchy mobbish friends follow Adam some time after 2am. Other "friends" are playing upstairs between 12-2.

that's odd that they'd cancel. There's like 40 members of that troup.

At BM we travelled all over the playa with them on a giant art car and they'd perform whenever we stopped. My buddy and I got to DJ on the car between sets. DJ'ing just isnt the same now after being able to control the giant flame thrower button. Every DJ booth should have one of those.
