Upcoming Shows

[bballarl]

Why dont you go to the GLASSHOUSE show the day before? Does Pomona not exist to you? And yes you can see everything from the Mezzzanine. And no DK without Jello is not worth it.

You were making such progress Chris. This is a step backwards.

[suprefan]

Thanks Andrew, I did answer the questions though.

[bballarl]

All you had to do was omit the "Does Pomona even exist to you?" line and everything would have been golden. But yes, you did answer the questions. It wasn't a huge step backwards.

[tessalasset]

Sheryl Crow was good tonight. Not a huge fan by any means but Eva Longoria seemed to enjoy it.

[Sushov23]

Looks like the RILO KILEY secret show was not a lie.

Bottom of the Hill is at 17th Street @ Missouri in Potrero Hill, SF.

[paulb]

Metric just announced a show at the Commodore here...a 19+ gig, with a 900 person capacity.... April 17th.... its advertized as, Road Testing New Songs will it be worth going to?

[seachanges]

I'm buying my ticket tomorrow! Metric is usually a great time, be sure to check em out if you have never seen them before. The presale password is cfox by the by.

[humanoid]

Sheryl Crow was good tonight. Not a huge fan by any means but Eva Longoria seemed to enjoy it.

I would never go see Sheryl Crow, but I would go to watch Eva Longoria enjoy anything

[shakermaker113]

[Cdubby]

gonna catch aphex twin later next month, should be a good show.

[tessalasset]

who the hell is Eva Longoria?

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/MMPH/263785~Eva-Longoria-Posters.jpg

[suprefan]

Too bad Tony Parker wasnt there too. Do you know who Tony Parker is Shaker?




and holy crap Duran Duran at Nokia. I would go to that.

[meyouseek]

I am gonna have to say no. I haven't seen or heard them... but whats the point without Jello? Also, who the hell is stepping in for Jello?

The new guy is Jeff Penalty http://www.deadkennedys.com/m_jeff.html

I dunno, it could be a good show. I gotta respect the rest of the band, Jello couldn't have done it without them... and he's been such a bitch about the guys doing these shows I almost want to see them to spite him. By the way, Jello is my hero.

I did see Jello do some DK songs with the Melvins a while back which was cool.

Has anyone actually seen DK with the new guy? All the opinions submitted so far don't seem to have anything backing them up.

[keriann]

Second question: I like the Black Keys. I really want to see them at the Wiltern, but the only tickets left on Ticketmaster are in the mezzanine. I've never sat in the mezzanine, can you see anything from up there?


I personally think the mezzanine at the Wiltern blows. Loge is ok but the mezzanine is huge and steep and not very appealing.

[mountmccabe]

Two questions about upcoming shows:

First question: I like the Dead Kennedys. Is it worth seeing them at the House of Blues even if Jello Biafra is gone?

Yes, DK are worth seeing even without Jello. It won't be historical and perfect but it'll be the fucking Dead Kennedys and since you like their music you'll love it.

I wouldn't fly around the world to follow them or anything but they're playing your city, then yeah.

I have not seen DK with Penalty but I did catch them with Brandon Cruz. How could it not be a great show? They played Dead Kennedys songs = win.

[shakermaker113]

image not quoted

wow. pretty. but who is she?

Too bad Tony Parker wasnt there too. Do you know who Tony Parker is Shaker?

it's pretty safe to assume I don't.

and holy crap Duran Duran at Nokia. I would go to that.

'would'? not 'will'? is there a conflict or something?

[Boourns]

Metric just announced a show at the Commodore here...a 19+ gig, with a 900 person capacity.... April 17th.... its advertized as, Road Testing New Songs will it be worth going to?

FUCK YES

[tessalasset]

shaker she's on desperate housewives.

[shakermaker113]

shaker she's on desperate housewives.

oh damn, NOW I recognize her. I never knew her name before.

[Sushov23]

Rilo Kiley April 24th. I shall be going to this. UH OH getting there to my party.

[PassiveTheory]

Happy 1K.

[suprefan]

oh damn, NOW I recognize her. I never knew her name before.

tony PArker is her husband. He plays for the San Antonio Spurs. He was finals MVP last year.

[woogie846]

Why dont you go to the GLASSHOUSE show the day before? Does Pomona not exist to you? And yes you can see everything from the Mezzzanine. And no DK without Jello is not worth it.

Thanks, I'll go ahead and get mezzanine.

Technically no, Pomona does not exist to me, since I've never actually been there. I'd also rather not take the drive, because the night before, I'm seeing Justice, and the night before that, I'm getting back from a week long trip in New York.

[shakermaker113]

no SF date on the duran duran tour. let the rumors about dd @ outside lands begin.

[shakermaker113]

tony PArker is her husband. He plays for the San Antonio Spurs. He was finals MVP last year.

that fully explains why I don't know who he is. lol.

[woogie846]

I have not seen DK with Penalty but I did catch them with Brandon Cruz. How could it not be a great show? They played Dead Kennedys songs = win.

They're at the House of Blues which is not a very long drive for me, if I'm free then I'll try to make it to the show.

[suprefan]

no SF date on the duran duran tour. let the rumors about dd @ outside lands begin.

Where do you think Concord is....












close enough



that fully explains why I don't know who he is. lol.



Yeah cause, the spurs actually win basketball games and championships.

But I am going to Morcheeba at the fillmore in april!!!

[Somewhat Damaged]

Explosions in the SKy! in tucson Tomorrow who's going?

Think I'm gonna pass. Money's too tight to justify the expense. Hope it's a blast, though. :)

[ThomThom]

Think I'm gonna pass. Money's too tight to justify the expense. Hope it's a blast, though. :)

True. You'll get six really really really long songs and maybe an encore.

[tessalasset]

hahaha explosions in the sky on st. patricks day. i wonder if that's going to be an interesting night, or just a normal la show night. probably normal.

[amyzzz]

Sea Wolf is opening for Nada Surf here on St Patrick's Day. I remember liking Sea Wolf when they opened for AIR last fall....

[saxomophone]

SOMEBODY!!! tell me who I should see.

CLINIC or M83?
They're playing the same night. Who puts on a better show? I know they're completely different bands, but still.

[bmack86]

That's tough. Clinic are awesome, but they tour more frequently. M83 are great live as well. Go with them for the rarity factor.

[luckyface]

That's tough. Clinic are awesome, but they tour more frequently. M83 are great live as well. Go with them for the rarity factor.

What he said. And the fact that M83 is better.

[suprefan]

Ill take M83 and they are playing Echoplex which is a great pace to see a show. Not to say the Troubadour isnt good, but their bar is better and cheaper drinks.

[nationocean]

M83! Oh wow yeah! You won't know when you'll see him again.. But Clinic is pretty sweet too.

[bmack86]

Ill take M83 and they are playing Echoplex which is a great pace to see a show. Not to say the Troubadour isnt good, but their bar is better and cheaper drinks.

I've got a theory that the Troubadour is losing lots of the bands that would traditionally be playing there to the Echoplex. Since the Echoplex retooled, the Troub's scheduled has looked much more sparse. I love the Echo and the Echoplex, two of my three favorite venues.

[paulb]

Ok, I think im gonna have to go to Pemberton and Lollapalooza.... Pemberton is too good of a lineup in BC to miss.... if it was in Cali, I wouldnt think twice about going, but you just dont see this kinda shit in BC....

and Lollapalooza.... Radiohead? NIN? comon...I dont even need to see the rest of the lineup... I got a free place to stay and should be fun...

[suprefan]

I've got a theory that the Troubadour is losing lots of the bands that would traditionally be playing there to the Echoplex. Since the Echoplex retooled, the Troub's scheduled has looked much more sparse. I love the Echo and the Echoplex, two of my three favorite venues.

Yeah it seems believeable, and the Troub schedule does look sparse as you said and the echoplex schedule looks more desireable on any given week. I have been to Echoplex almost 10 times in the last year compared to maybe 3 or 4 for the Troub.

[bmack86]

As much as I love the Troubadour, I like that because the Echoplex has a great vibe to it. It draws a more enthusiastic crowd, and I've seen some fantastic shows there as a result.

[suprefan]

Now if only Mogwai plays there this year.

[bmack86]

Gaddamn. I'd almost rather see them at the el rey though. The soundsystem there is better.

[luckyface]

Gaddamn. I'd almost rather see them at the el rey though. The soundsystem there is better.

I think Mogwai would blast that chandelier off the El Rey's ceiling.

[suprefan]

Gaddamn. I'd almost rather see them at the el rey though. The soundsystem there is better.

Yeah Rocke could be right, we dont want them to kill the chandeliers. And it was pretty loud at Echoplex for Mars Volta, they cranked the PA for them back in december.

[digitalface]

Matthew Dear (Audion) tomorrow night @ Mighty. Bangin'.

[Ardentbiscuit]

So I just found out you can buy advance tickets for The Music Box @ Fonda at their box office with no ticketmaster service charges. Cash only though.

[suprefan]

So now they FINALLY do this? I thought you couldnt, whack....

[drugks Gillespie]

Bassnectar tonight @ the Red Owl in Tempe. Maybe this has been posted.

[saxomophone]

Thanks guys! Looks like it'll be m83 for me.

My list looks so sad compared to everyone else's.
X 4/10
M83 5/20
Swervedriver 5/31

and I'd love to see Kaki King 3/26 but I don't think that'll happen.

[faxman75]

Explosions in the SKy! in tucson Tomorrow who's going?

oohhhh fuck, I am going to be in Tucson tomorrow. This makes me wonder if I need to stay. Fuck. Hmm.

[worldwide2020]

So I just get in town and hear Modeselektor will be here on Wednesday night. Sweet. Probably fixing for a rough Thursday morning though.

[tessalasset]

oooh tell me how they are and if they are a must see for coachella.

[Sushov23]

Anyone going to the Spaceland "secret show"?

[suprefan]

You really wanna rub this one in huh.

[worldwide2020]

oooh tell me how they are and if they are a must see for coachella.

i most definitely will. i was thinking about them at coachella and i hope they don't play too early. they're billed so low on the damn poster though. i think they would be perfect to close out the gobi or something. then again, i've never seen them live and have never talked to anyone that has, so...

[Sushov23]

You really wanna rub this one in huh.

yeah, I gotta enjoy from now until tuesday night. LOL. I almost bought a ticket, so that is another reason why it's so funny to me. I lucked out.

[Pixiessp]

April 25,26 and 27- Coachella
May 30-Beirut

more to come later hopefully.

[brando4n82]

Just bought my tix for Digitalism in LA. I couldnt find any good youtube vids of them. Can anyone describe what their set is like? Do they play a lot of stuff from Idealism? Does their matterial just flow into eachother like a DJ set? Furthermore....anyone else going?

[keriann]

I've got a theory that the Troubadour is losing lots of the bands that would traditionally be playing there to the Echoplex. Since the Echoplex retooled, the Troub's scheduled has looked much more sparse.

I have noticed this too. As much as I love Echoplex it bums me out because the Troubadour is so much closer. They hardly ever have shows I want to see anymore.

[Boourns]

I know, it sucks. Echo(plex) is too far from everything.

[SFChrissy]

The Verve...Fillmore, SF, Wednesday 04.23.08

[xxxxxxxxxx]

The Verve...Fillmore, SF, Wednesday 04.23.08

That show is at the Warfield, not Fillmore.

[SFChrissy]

that's what i get for listening to my friend who just bought our tickets...

[bmack86]

I have noticed this too. As much as I love Echoplex it bums me out because the Troubadour is so much closer. They hardly ever have shows I want to see anymore.

I do agree with that. The Troub is about 4 miles from my place, at most, while I have to drive all the way across town to get to the Echo(plex). At least they start shows late at the Echoplex, so I usually wait until traffic has cleared out before I drive out there.

[noisemachine]

I have more trouble finding street parking near the Echoplex as well compared to the Troubador.

[bmack86]

Dude, there's the lots behind the Echo and free lots all around the area. So much more parking there. I have my spots at the Troubadour, but I never have to worry at the Echo. Spaceland is the place that sucks for parking.

[bballarl]

I love going to the Troubadour because I always have to kill a couple of hours beforehand. This means going to Hamburger Haven. And walking around.

[woogie846]

I've got the Aquabats tonight at the Canyon Club! That sounds like a great show. Is anyone else going?

[suprefan]

I have more trouble finding street parking near the Echoplex as well compared to the Troubador.

Really? All that parking next to the Echo itself is nice and covinient. Its more a matter of getting there a lil early to nab a spot.

[miscorrections]

Acid Mothers Temple tonight. I am not really familiar with their catalogue, but I confidently expect to have my face rocked off.

[york707]

I am seeing Meat Puppets and Built to Spill tomorrow night. Has anyone been to any shows on this tour. I am curious as to how the Meat Puppets have been...

[wmgaretjax]

I confidently expect to have my face rocked off.

Yes.

[sbessiso]

i wanna go see matt costa but he's playing smack in the middle of bonnaroo

[woogie846]

The Aquabats rocked, and hard. Supernova were great as well. The crowd was really, really responsive tonight.

[rage patton]

The Aquabats rocked, and hard. Supernova were great as well. The crowd was really, really responsive tonight.

Jelous!!! Did they test out any new songs?

[gmoneyak]

Well, fuck all the naysayers.

Gogol Bordello put out awesome fucking shows, great time tonight. Every time I've seen them they always seem to bring it, tonight's crowd was insane. Rare occasion in this town..

Set list for those who care:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f178/Gmoneyak2/DSC03316-1.jpg



I just wish I didn't have to step into the office tomorrow morning, at fucking 7am. Ehhh...

[Sushov23]

that is a good set

[gmoneyak]

2 hour shows are nice.

[paulb]

i like the setlist...sounds like fun man...i HAVE to see these guys at Coachella.

[gmoneyak]

I'll see you there, it's going to be another great show this year.



Also, that was supposed to be Eugene's wine bottle in the pic, I just couldn't get it into frame.

[Sushov23]

Gogol at Vegoose was fucking insane. Can't wait to see them again, I was really hoping they would play in SD.

[Ardentbiscuit]

I really need to pay more attention. I was reading the LA Times Soundboard blog and they said Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are playing September 17th at the Hollywood?? How did I miss this?

http://theguide.latimes.com/blogs/soundboard/2008/03/10/cave-the-bad-seeds-are-coming-to-the-bowl/#more-1010

They also mentioned a Bob Dylan tribute show at the Skirball center with Zack de la Rocha, John Doe, Michael Franti, Maria Mckee and more artists to be announced.

http://www.skirball.org/index.php?option=com_ccevents&scope=prgm&task=detail&ccmenu=v2hhdcdzie9u&oid=320

They also mentioned that Largo is moving to the current location of Coronet theater...

http://theguide.latimes.com/blogs/soundboard/2008/03/11/largo-is-moving-from-its-current-spot-to-coronet-theatre/#more-1015


I think my mind has been boggled so much lately by all of these festival annoucements I am missing things going on in my own town.

[woogie846]

Jelous!!! Did they test out any new songs?

Nope, no new songs this show. Well, they did write an entire song about the valley, while roll-calling every city in the area. That was pretty awesome.

The are playing Never Wanna Be Young Again, again? YES! That was one of my favorite songs of thiers at Coachella last year. I haven't heard it since. Wait... no Immigrant Punk though? That kind of sucks. WAIT. NO SALLY??? Now THAT sucks. How can they do a show without Sally? That kind of makes me sad.
Anyways, glad you had fun at Gogol. How many times have you seen them now? I can't wait for them again at Coachella.

[shakermaker113]

Mehdi was pretty good last night at the mezzanine. crowd was sparse... lots of room for dancing though. some cute girls. :-)

I totally got ditched though. my friend got dragged away by his gf just minutes after we went down to the dancefloor when Mehdi started. wtf? it'd be polite to at least let me know they were leaving.


on another note, the ad in the sf weekly saying goodbye to the warfield was pretty surprising.

[bballarl]

Post it.

[suprefan]

What, dont tell me no more wafrield, i love that place. Makes the wiltern look like ass.

That's funny, I totally forgot about Immigrant Punk and Sally. It pretty much shows you how good the other songs fill the gaps.. This was my 3rd time catching them after last year's Coachella and Vegoose. It's cool w/the solo show being able to shake all the band member's hands afterwards, they really hang out a bit to interact with the fans.

[shakermaker113]

ah, I can't find a digital image of it. if I have a chance I'll grab a copy and take a picture today. st patricks day celebrations though, I may be drunk.

I have unfortunately never been able to see them at a solo show. I have only seen them at festivals. But I have talked to lots of people who have and have talked with them after the shows. I've seen them 3 times as well, and Coachella will be my fourth. I ran into their drummer in ther field at Vegoose, and I said hi, told him I was big fan of the band and stuff. He was cool. Then I met the rest of the band at the autograph signing. Sergey is amazing. He can barely speak a word of English. He asked who to make the autograph out to, when he was talking to me girlfriend, and she said "Becky." He said he was going to spell it out to us first before writing it. He said "B-U? No? B-E? Yes. B-E-K? No? B-E-U? No..." and it went on from there. It was very funny. She has a great picture with him somewhere... I will see if I can find it. Also, the girls in the band are very nice. I was talking to, I think it was Elizabeth for a bit, very nice. And Eugene looked coke'd out of his mind. I asked him about his acting, and I am not sure if he understood a word I said haha.
But yes. I love Gogol.

[HunterGather]

Dunno if this was mentioned or not, but JAY-Z added a show in Miami by himself (no Mary J)...

Fri, 03/21/08

The Fillmore Miami Beach at Jackie Gleason Theater
Miami Beach, FL

Tix went on sale this morning at 10, and I just checked and there are still PIT tix still showed up ($158).

I'd be all over this but I have prior commitments next weekend :(
O well...

[york707]

I saw Built to Spill at The Pageant in St. Louis last night. Missed Helvetia, but made it in time to see Meat Puppets, who were great. They opened with "Sam". They played "Plateau", "Lake of Fire" and "Oh, Me", and the crowd definitely responded to those. Those and "Backwater". They play a full 70-minute set and were really good.

This was possibly the most enjoyable BTS show I've been to, partially due to the fact that it was on a Saturday, and I didn't have to worry about getting up today, and the fact that we had a big group of people and the fact that it was a great song selection. They played for over two hours. They played Brian Eno's "Third Uncle" and "Canada," a new song. There was another song I wasn't familiar with and after "Stab" they played a song that I knew, but cannot recall due to the booze. Good times.

I'd be all over this but I have prior commitments next weekend :(
O well...

holy shit dude, jay-z in the pit would be so sweet, but theres no way in hell i have that much bread

[HunterGather]

Dude, there are still tix available in all sections.
I'm surprised it hasnt sold out yet. Its a small venue. So even the cheapest tix would be better than seeing him at an arena.
Check it!

[sbessiso]

no i know, i just dont have bread for it at all right now, i mean i *could* but then it would fuck up my budget, i have to know when to say no

edit: rememeber when morrissey was supposed to play the fillmore then canceled, they never rescheduled that did they?

[HunterGather]

no, i dont listen to morrissey...
but anyhow, they'd refund a cancelled show...

but yeah, budgeting yes.
We all have to sacrifice :)
Im giving up Ultra in my backyard for Coachella across the country.

I saw Built to Spill at The Pageant in St. Louis last night. Missed Helvetia, but made it in time to see Meat Puppets, who were great. They opened with "Sam". They played "Plateau", "Lake of Fire" and "Oh, Me", and the crowd definitely responded to those. Those and "Backwater". They play a full 70-minute set and were really good.

That's it? "I saw Boredoms" is all you can say?

Seein 'em friday.

[bmack86]

I'm reserving my reviews until after tonight, so that I can say more. I want to either confirm or destroy an idea I got from the show last night, which will change how I review the show.

Suffice to say, it was awesome, and I don't really want to say too much that will tell you about the show, because they're running a new setup that's pretty fucking spectacular.

[bballarl]

Bryan, want to be super cool and text me the time Boredoms are going to start when you get to the Fonda? I have a bunch of midterm related stuff I am trying to take care of, so I am not going to leave until later.

[bmack86]

Sure. My guess would be 10:30 to 10:45, but if the in-the-round talk you heard is true, then I would say closer to 11.

I didn't really enjoy it a whole lot. Mainly because my buddy was bitching about how annoying it was, and that it was only sounds, and retarted. I basically told her lets go outside, and we did. So yeah.
What did you think?
Anyone going to Tokyo Police Club?

[PassiveTheory]

I'm waiting on Dylan and Andy to say yes, but most likely I am.

[Sushov23]

what have you guys heard about the live show for TPC?

I thought it was interesting/different. All I kept thinking was sigur ros the whole time. I just knew it when he ''finished' he was done and like everyone was going to be all 'wtf?!?!?!'' I was bummed that they ran out of shirts, there was only one shir tin my size but not a good color. Tomorrow is sold out and they sold otu all 3 SF shows for anyone who thought about going.

[PassiveTheory]

I saw them early at Coach last year, they were pretty fucking stellar, and I wouldn't mind seeing them again now that I actually HAVE some of their recorded material.

Plus, it'll be a friends' birthday present. =D

[Sushov23]

I think i'm going to check out TPC at SOMA. It all really depends, I might have to go home that weekend. I wanted the green EITS shirt, with the boy holding the other boy from falling. They didn't have my size, I fucking hate when bands don't invest in 2XL shirts.

[shakermaker113]

I foolishly bought two tickets for Ladytron without checking the date. now I realize I'm out of the country at the time.

anyone not bought tickets yet? I got them at the box office, so I have two for face value. (that's $55 for the pair). avoid those pesky fees and get your tickets from me.

[shakermaker113]

on another note, I picked up the sf weekly. here's the warfield ad:

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k33/shakermaker113/dscf3666.jpg

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k33/shakermaker113/dscf3665.jpg

sorry it didn't come out more clearly. here's what it says in full:

Come help us say goodbye to the warfield and journey into the future with five unique nights celebrating a long strange trip.

We lost our lease in a bad hand of cards. For the past 29 years, Bill Graham Presents has produced 2095 shows at The Warfield Theater.

Thanks to all the artists and fans for a great run, the past and current staff for their hard work and dedication., and most of all Bill Graham for the inspiration. We'll see you at our new home in the near future.

the 'new home' bit is very vague. xxxxxxxxxx, you work there right? did you know about this before we did?

[bballarl]

That's a bummer. I saw both The Strokes and The White Stripes there 4-5 years ago. I don't think I have seen any other shows there. But I always liked that venue.

[suprefan]

Man, no fair, I really like seeing shows there. I saw The Pixies there, you cant ask for a better show than that in such a great place. I wonder if APE would buy it if they could in regards to the lease and stuff.

[shakermaker113]

speaking of APE, that have a rather unusual listing on their website right now:

Tuesday,April 08 Duran Duran Plenary Hall, Jakarta Convention CenterJakarta, Indonesia, show 9PM

since when do they promote in INDONESIA???

[bballarl]

Hahaha that is fantastic.

[paulb]

I saw the Beasties at the Warfield... decent venue...cant stand where it is located though.

[bballarl]

Because it is by the Tenderloin? There is nothing wrong with the location otherwise.

[PassiveTheory]

I almost saw 2 different shows there this year... Lame. Never got to see one there after all...

[suprefan]

I saw the Beasties at the Warfield... decent venue...cant stand where it is located though.

I dont mind the location, its not like as scary or bad as you probably thought it was. It comes with being in Sf in some parts.

[fikus222]

All that has happened is that Bill Graham Presents lost their lease. The Warfield will still have live shows, just not put on by them. It all has to do with the war going on between the New Times and the Bay Guardian.

Elaborate?

[arbouler]

anybody have an extra vampire weekend ticket at el rey? PM me!

[fikus222]

Elaborate?

The following addresses their war:

http://www.sfweekly.com/2008-03-12/news/ka-ching/


Here is a snippet:

"The Bay Guardian hit the lawsuit lottery for the second time in its history last Wednesday, winning a $15.6 million judgment against SF Weekly and its parent company, New Times (now Village Voice Media), and its former sister paper the East Bay Express."

They don't mention the Warfield in this article, but in past articles they did mention the lease expiring in May of this year. This lease expiration is also in conjunction with the Warfield's name change, to that of SF Weekly Warfield. The owners of the Warfield fought SF Weekly in court and said that as tenants SF Weekly could not change the name of the venue.

I will find the article and post the link.

Edit:

link to the name article, which also mentions the lease expiration:

I wonder who has the lease on the Warfield now.....

[bballarl]

I know, I know!

Okay I am going to Boredoms now.

[wmgaretjax]

I know, I know!

Okay I am going to Boredoms now.

Enjoy! I'm so fucking pumped for Friday.

[wmgaretjax]

Fuck. Seattle has a Dirty Projectors conflict with the Why?/Mount Eerie show...

Dirty Projectors it is...

[dorkfish]

You're skipping Mount Eerie for something else?

[Sushov23]

So I just got done listening to Does it offend you, yeah?'s CD, and It's pretty good stuff. I think i'm going to see them here at the casbah. I know I won't be seeing them at coachella.

[shakermaker113]

I wish they would make that clear. everyone I've spoken to who has seen that ad now thinks the warfield is closing.


on a very different note, I made a last minute decision to go to see Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip tonight. I just got back, and damn that was cool. the cafe du nord was bumpin', word is going to spread like a virus now. they're definitely on my coachella list now. can't wait 'till they come back to town so I can show more people!

[wmgaretjax]

You guys have to realize that Phil plays constantly up here in the NW. Dirty Projectors are one of the most exciting acts I've seen in a while. Seen them once in contrast to 7-8 for Microphones/Mount Eerie. As much as I enjoy the new Why? album, I wasn't too impressed last time they came through.

[Sushov23]

add Tokyo Police Club to my list of shows, along with Does it offend you, yeah? just got my tickets.

[bballarl]

Boredoms are unbelievable.

[send me ctrpllrs]

Thought about making the drive to LA for dan le sac vs. Scroobius Pip, didn't do so though. We'll see if they fit in at Coachella.

Saw Explosions in the Sky saturday night. Amazing. Anybody going to their SF shows? I'll be there on friday and saturday.

[bmack86]

Here's my two day Boredoms tandem reviews.

Saturday night, Boredoms played at Cane's in San Diego. The opener, The Human Bell, played very repetitive (in a good way) instrumental rock. They slowly built their songs up to rocking heights before bringing them back down. All the songs had a similar format, but they were all enjoyable. On this night, the sound wasn't overly loud for them, or so it seemed to me, which hurt their set in relation to Sunday. Sunday's show, they were louder, and they played one song that was faster and harder. They also responded really funnily to a heckler, saying "Don't worry, we've only got two more hours and then Boredoms will play for 15 minutes."

Boredoms came out with their new setup. This still includes Yoshimi, Wati and Taka on drums and eYe on noise, keys and vocals. However, they've added a keyboard to Yoshimi's setup, given Wati a sampler/keyboard and eYe, in his infinite wisdom, has built a guitar tree. A guitar tree, you say? Well, let me tell you. He has fused the bodies of seven guitars together into one really large guitar. The necks alternate sides, so there are four necks on one side and three on the other. Each guitar is tuned to a different open chord. eYe attacks each guitar with a stick to make it resonate, creating guitar sounds. This is even more awesome than it sounds.

Show descriptions for Boredoms:
Saturday-They started out with drumming, and lots of it. With three drummers, the rhythms are allowed to really intertwine and snake around, and they can focus into a tight, really vicious machine. After an extended drumming intro, eYe began playing with his noise makers to create a pretty cool, fluctuating synth base. When he started to attack the guitars with what looked like a kendo stick, it really took off. They did some variation of this for the two songs of the main set, which lasted around 70 minutes. It was awesome, and they were really impressive. However, the crowd, which was full of drunk meatheads jumping and bouncing into eachother (as well as myself and John), were less than fun to be around. Also, there was something about the sound (I found out on Sunday that it was the drum mix relative to eachother) that didn't quite sit for me. eYe's work took time to build, but when he hit the right notes, it was transcendent. They came out for an encore, which was one 15 minute jam. They started by doing rim shots on all the drums, with eYe on drums while Taka shook the guitars to get them to resonate. Then, Yoshimi started a keyboard line that was reminiscent of the spacier side of Vision Creation Newsun. They jammed around this spacey, less rhythmically intense idea until the end of the show. It's hard to describe, because they do so much, but it was great.

Sunday-I was very excited to go to this show, because I wanted to see if what I guessed was true, and it was. Almost all of these shows is improvisation. They played the same three songs, for the most part, in the sense that they all started the same way. However, after about a minute of the "head," they would spin off into a different direction. The Saturday show reminded me of Voordoms, the Boredoms variant that is very drum focused, and seems to me like early Boredoms mach 2. Tonight, they transcended any idea of Boredoms/Voordoms/rock and turned in one of the most amazing performances I've seen. eYe was more precise with his guitar attacks and Yoshimi was more present on her keyboards, so they created a more musical float over the rhythmic complexities. At one point, eYe, in the heat of a singing/screaming fit, jumped into the middle of the drum circle and started chanting. The lights all filtered out except for one white light that shone right down on him as he looked into it. The drums started to swirl around him, and a bass frequency buzzed as he chanted out this incantation that seemed to me like a prayer (he is a sun worshiper, part of a tribal Japanese religion that was virtually wiped out during World War 2). He then jumped back and started in on more noise. I thought that would be the best part of this amazing show, but I was wrong. For the encore, they came out and again started with the rim shots and resonations. However, Yoshimi and eYe then began to trade keyboard lines back and forth. It sounded like the best parts of VCN or Super AE, amplified, filtered and perfected. During the course of the 20 minute jam, they succeeded in surpassing every single piece of music they've yet recorded, reaching to a height that seemed cosmic. It was as if the sun-reaching Boredoms of those albums had finally gotten there, and now they are going even further. If they can press something close to that song onto an album, then I will die happy. Boredoms are one of my all time favorite groups, and that song was the best thing I've heard from them. This was a special, spiritual sort of show that is hard to even describe because it was so amazing. I will be making every attempt possible to go to the San Francisco show on Tuesday, because they're worth it.

[bmack86]

Someday if we go to a show there together I'll show you the secret trick Lickey showed me.

I know of one secret parking area around there, but if I show up late, then I don't want to use it usually, because it's about a quarter mile's walk and it takes some time to get to the venue. I'd like to see the secret trick.

[suprefan]

Thought about making the drive to LA for dan le sac vs. Scroobius Pip, didn't do so though. We'll see if they fit in at Coachella.

Saw Explosions in the Sky saturday night. Amazing. Anybody going to their SF shows? I'll be there on friday and saturday.

Dan Le Sac is TONIGHT.

[tessalasset]

Yeah my secret spot is definitely not a quarter mile away. Or maybe it is, but it's all downhill and usually takes me a few minutes to get from my car to the front door. It's not bad at all.

[chiapet]

It was a great show, wasn't it? I wasn't sure how good they would be "live." I will definitely see them again at Coachella.

[shakermaker113]

it's about a quarter mile's walk and it takes some time to get to the venue.

a quarter of a mile is actually really short. that's about 5 mins usually.


It was a great show, wasn't it? I wasn't sure how good they would be "live." I will definitely see them again at Coachella.

ha, you were there? dang if I'd known I would have tried to say hi. that's what happens when I don't decide until 8.30 pm.

the merch table was being overrun afterwards. I have a feeling that next time they are in town, everyone who was there tonight is going to bring two other people along. (so 3x the crowd...)

[bmack86]

Well, I got work off on Wednesday, so I'm going to Boredoms in San Francisco. I'll leave when I get off work at 1:30. I'm so goddamn excited.

[wmgaretjax]

Yea, it was last minute for me too, I was in the middle of a project and couldn't decide whether to go or not. I'm glad I went. :)

[rage patton]

The Skatalites are going on a short PNW tour! And they are playing the 9th annual Victoria Ska Fest. I know most of you probably don't care, but I am very, very excited.

[TomAz]

The Skatalites are very cool. but they're also mostly dead.

[rage patton]

To be honest, I don't know much about the Skatalites, just the music. So I would take any incarnation of the band. Unlike The Specials, where I want Terry and Jerry, or none at all.

Tom, did you ever see any combination of Madness, The Specials and/or The Skatalites at one show?

[TomAz]

I saw the Skatalites once. never got to see the Specials or Madness.

Boredoms
3/18/08-Fillmore-San Francisco

Any other show near that can go die in its own obsolescence. This is the only place to be that night. I'm forgoing sleep for 24 hours for it. It will be worth it. Voordoms at this stage are the best musical incarnation to grace this planet. EVER.

[bballarl]

Board San Franciscans need to go to this show. It is going to be crazy.

[fikus222]

Just picked my tickets for the Mr. Scruff and Kraak & Smaak show @ the Mighty this Friday in SF.

Just picked my tickets for the Mr. Scruff and Kraak & Smaak show @ the Mighty this Friday in SF.

Nice choices. I am considering the Kraak & Smaak although I am not sure I want to pull the trigger on a $25+ ticket for a DJ performance. Mr. Scruff would be cool, but I can't get myself to buy the ticket.

It took me a while to decide also. It was not knowing if/when Mr. Scruff would be coming back to the Bay Area that helped me to decide in favor of going.

Rocke are you retarded?




EITS was fantastic tonight.

[luckyface]

Rocke are you retarded?




EITS was fantastic tonight.

First of all, that is not nice.

Second of all, you were there?? I was too! Where were you?

[Sushov23]

I can't wait to see them again. has anyone seen The Breeders live?

[tessalasset]

4/29 - the breeders at the el rey


One thing I wanted to add about tonight - the house music was fucking awesome tonight. Broken Social Scene, Four Tet, TVOTR... like the dude found my ipod on the ground or something. I sorta want to marry him. Or her.

[suprefan]

Him, and did they play Radiohead? They did on Saturday, I was stoked. Tessa, did you catch the opening act or no?



So anyway, saw Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip tonight, along with 3 other british acts or all different genres. Sonofhal got it on the money and Emmy the Great was great. Rizz Mc was cool, although he started off shaky but his beats started to go better with his syhmes and it made all the difference in the world. Then what confused me the most was this band call ''There are Puritans'', a lot of kids were there to see them and they played the fastest 20 mins set I have seen, like it felt they were onstage 5 minutes and they were gone. But a lot of peopel left when they finished, which confused the crap out of me cause they were not anything special. Just kind of your average art rock brit band with young kids in it who you wouldnt find out about unless some tiny review in NME caught your eye when they played some tiny club 6 months ago in london. Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip tore it up, they played for abotu 50 minutes which doesnt seem long, but long enought o not bore you and keep you on edge. They did play the Radiohead sampled song '' Letter from God to Man'', I got that on video and photos and everything. So here is that stuff.

I can't wait until coachella for Dan Le Sac

[paulb]

Nice photos...


Raconteurs at the Commodore would be pretty sick... I think id skip it though. I can wait for the festival set. Now if it were White Stripes....now we're talkin.

[suprefan]

Oh, and its worth it to see them at Coache, Dan Le Sac told me they were going to play some newer tracks. I think they would work perfectly in Gobi Tent.

[paulb]

What was their setlist? I only have 4 of their tracks on my itunes...what other stuff do they actually have out?

[shakermaker113]

dang, you got emmy the great opening? boo! I want emmy the great opening.

can you share the video of 'letter from god to man'? I am obsessed with that song, I'd love a well shot video.

[shakermaker113]

What was their setlist? I only have 4 of their tracks on my itunes...what other stuff do they actually have out?

as far as I know, they have two songs in the itunes store, and that's it in the US. they might have more in the UK. their myspace claims their albums is out may 12, but that's probably uk only.

[tessalasset]

yes we came early for lichens and that shit was INSANE. i have never seen anything like it. he almost brought me to tears in the first four minutes of his set. but then i feel like he went on just a tad too long. if he cut it by like 5 minutes it would have been perfect.

also, he looks like Michael from Lost.

for those of you who have never heard him before, check out this video below. in the beginning, those bird sounds he made with his voice. then FF to 4:55 and watch the magic happen.

[tessalasset]

also 12:30 is fucking freaky

[nationocean]

and that area is fairly safe even at 2am. and i love late night walks.

He was cool at first, but man did that drag on! It was like one neverending 25 minute song... kind of like Mars Volta! And his vocal performance reminded me of Sigur Ros in a way.

[suprefan]

Yeah, all I thought was Sigur Ros. It was only 20 minutes when I saw him Saturday.

[shakermaker113]

that video was neat, but I wouldn't want more than about 15 mins of it.

[moviebruin]

Not sure this has been mentioned but Does It Offend You Yeah? will be performing at Dimmak Cinespace Tuesdays tonite. Think cover there is usually 5 or 10 bucks. for those boycotting "wyld stallyons" they can find refuge in there. haha.

[Barbara, the ninja]

I went to see Neon Neon at the Viper Room last night. Their album is released today, I think. They were very cool.

[shakermaker113]

DO IT! Run! You could still make it!

I tried to snag the scalpers' last ticket for $15, but they wouldn't go lower than $20. I came home to get changed, figuring I'd go back later when they might be more persuadable. (boredoms don't start 'till 10 pm).

but then I listened to the songs on their myspace. it's not for me. sorry.

[suprefan]

Ok, so new Hollywood Bowl info, I made a thread about the multiple show offer, but here are some new things. so who is doing the L.A. Phil show? Ill say Gnarls, they have a string section, it would have to default to them.

[suprefan]

I hate not being able to get tickets NOW, cause of their stupid thing, why not buy 3 shows, theres 3 I want to go to, but I might end up going to like 5 bowl shows this year. I swear............

[fikus222]

I would totally do the Thievery Corp and Los Amigos show...Los Amigos put on an awesome and high energy show that gets the entire crowd moving.

[rage patton]

Not gonna lie, UB40 and Barrington Levy would be sweet. I would totally go to that. Same with Gnarls Barkley w/ Youssou N'Dour and Deerhoof. Actually, and the Fiest + Sharon Jones show. Damn, those are some good shows going on right there.

[suprefan]

And if you wanted to Rage, tickets can be as cheap as $10, or $96 if you wanna be up front. Nick Cave is only $55 for the front, Im totally getting that.

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

I was hoping for a Sufjan Stevens LA Phil show this summer. Damn.

[rage patton]

I would be so broke if I lived in LA.

[suprefan]

I was hoping for a Sufjan Stevens LA Phil show this summer. Damn.

Im going with Gnarls, has to be, its not specified, but who else will it be.

[woogie846]

I'll be at Gilberto Gil/Devendra Banhart, Feist/Sharon Jones, and Gnarls Barkley. I still can't find an answer, who is headlining; Gilberto Gil or Devendra Banhart?

[pocket]

I decided to join in on this. I post on the goldenvoice board all my reviews but not much here so heres my first....

You know you are in for an intimate show at the troubadour when you show up 5 minutes before the headliner is supposed to be on the stage and you see no one outside smoking cigs, and the front inside bar is closed. Then you notice that the sign has been changed and the headliner will be on an hour later than the posted time on the website. It really didn’t matter to me though because Canada’s own Jason Collett (who played guitar in Broken Social Scene and is dating a Miss Leslie Feist) would be gracing the stage with his country indie rock set on this St. Patrick’s Day in West Hollywood.

Most people I guess were to busy drinking green beers and having Irish Car Bombs to stumble their way down Santa Monica Blvd for the $12 show. I wasn’t stumbling, even though I did drink a bottle of wine in the car. I guess when there was parking ½ a block away I should have known no one would be there, but still where were the hipsters.

I walk through the doors and actually did a head count, not including members on stage for the opening band there was a total (including the bartender) of 37 people. Its alright though, this is the way I like my shows.

Collett graced the Troubadour with his presence at about 10pm and started with a rant about it being St. Patty’s day and how that must be big here. He then commented about how far the sparse crowd was from the stage and thanked them for giving him room for his acoustic break dancing set that would happen mid way through the show.

“Are you being sarcastic?” A girl shouted, and by shouted I mean said in a normal voice as there was no one really to talk over.

Collett laughed and replied “No I am from Canada, we are gentlemanly there.”

The set rocked out to a lot of brand spankin new tunes from the brand spankin new album (on my favorite label Arts & Crafts) “Here’s to Being Here”. The band all being from Toronto really had an incredible sound and brought some Canadian country sounds to the Troubadour. The first part of the set ended with what is my pick on the new album “Out of Time”. The tiny crowd even participated with hand claps through the song.

Mid way through the set Jason dismissed his band and just played acoustic. Very similar to what Amy Millan did on her solo tour when she came through WeHo. Before he started the second part of the set he went into a whole story about smoking weed in High School with a girl before a dance. Apparently part of the joint light his shirt on fire (it was a polyester V neck). He was kicked out of the dance while walking into it, and had to retrieve the coats of his date and himself from a room with one chair. A chair which he would trip over, then trip over a second time upon leaving. It was all because of a “Supersmoke” which we in California (and judging by the audiences response) all call shotgunning.

He says that’s the difference about Canada and the US. They just add super to smoking while we name it after guns.

It was the perfect intro to “Pink”, basically explaining the real life situation regarding the song. Its times like this I am glad to have passed up on green beer and made my way to a Canadian show.

The band rejoined Jason on set for a few more songs off the new album. “Paper Cut Hearts” and “Not Over You” rounded out the 80 minute (give or take) set. He even said he would be around at his merch table to talk with people after the show.

I don’t normally stay after a show, I just get my setlist and leave but I wanted to say Hi and thank him for coming out our way. I apologized for LA being shitty and no one coming out.

“Its ok mate, it’s a Monday, glad you were able to make it out, cheers!”

And on that note I had him sign my setlist and walked the half block to my car where I saw one girl vomiting out her door (and yes it was green) and another person peeing on the car behind me. We know who made the right choice this night.

[tessalasset]

I guess when there was parking ½ a block away I should have known no one would be there, but still where were the hipsters.


They were probably at either Explosions in the Sky (Wiltern) or Ed Harcourt (Echoplex). I like Jason Collett and probably would have been there were it not for the two aforementioned shows. Nice review, tho.

[suprefan]

Some hipsters were at the roxy, they left early though cause they had to catch the bus.

[tessalasset]

PS I don't know how big the crew was on Moment of Truth, but my friend worked on the show too - her name is Cheryl. Do you know her? You probably don't. I think she worked in post.

[bmack86]

Well, I just got back from seeing Boredoms in San Francisco. They played in the round, which was awesome. eYe apparently did hurt his ankle during the LA show, so he was on crutches, but that didn't hamper him much, as he still went insane. He started the show by using two light globes that acted as samplers/theremins to create first a noise symphony and then a keyboard fest, while he was screaming without a mic. It was the best opening of all the shows I saw them do. The main set was similar to the LA show, and, when I saw how carefully and fully mic'd all the drums where, it made me wonder if they might be doing this tour as a way to record their new album, developing ideas each night and then editing down from these jams to make a few tracks. If that's the case, then awesome. They did the standard 2 songs and one encore, but the crowd would not leave, so they came out and did a second encore, which amounted to eYe getting into the drum circle and chanting as they went berzerk, and then him using his guitar samples to create a kickass ascending riff. Great show, I'm glad I did the drive, even though I'm tired as all hell now.

[bmack86]

And, to close this all out, I feel really great about getting to see Boredoms at this point. The music they're making right now proves that the Voordoms idea wasn't a tangent, but rather a way to redevelop the ideas they had been doing during the late 90s. Whatever comes of the music they're playing right now, i can guarantee it will be amazing and met with rapturous reviews. Anyone who has the chance to see them at any other point on this tour (and especially you New York people, seeing as how that's the last show and these pieces should be developed) you need to go. These were three of the most amazing displays of talent I've ever seen, and I can guarantee that this tour will be remembered as a special one for Boredoms.

Yeah. It's interesting, don't get me wrong, it's just a little aimless. You can do something that is really minimal, just has a voice, without it feeling like you aren't entirely sure where you are taking people. Listening to the album, it's pretty clear that the guy has a gorgeous voice, but just get's fucked up and tools around.

I would totally check him out live if the opportunity arose. I even almost picked up one of his records when I was at the store the other day, but decided to check it out online. I'm glad I didn't.
