[SFChrissy]

the STS9 show last night at HOB was amazing. easily one of the ten best nights of my life. i had no idea how good they were! they're playing again tonight. i totally recommend checking them out. also, they played In Rainbows in its entirety before they came onstage which was a real treat.I couldn't agree with you more!!! I saw them at the Fillmore and they blew me away!!! I'd like to see them at the greek but won't be able to make that one...august is tough for me with having to take 2 trips to woodward skate camp!!!

I bought tickets for the show here, lawn were like $35 I think. Figured I shouldn't keep putting off seeing Stevie, he's starting to get up there in the years and doesn't tour that often.I totally want to go to that shoreline show and have been dragging my feet 'bout getting tickets!!!

[PassiveTheory]

I have my ride for Crudo, so see you all there! Come up and say hi!

[Sonicifyouwantit]

has anyone been to the john anson ford theater in LA? Thinking about seeing stars there. The tickets are GA and I'm not sure how that works there...I thought there were benches like at the bowl. Are the seats just first come first serve GA? is there a GA section? there is no venue map on ticketmaster so if anyone has any info let me know. thanks

[bmack86]

When I went there, they were all seated, so I couldn't tell you for sure, but it's set up in a similar fashion to the Berkeley greek, except with seats replacing the concrete slabs. It's an ampitheater, but not overly big, and there are rows and rows of seats, but I can't recall if they seemed removable, which they might have been. Anyway, it's a cool little place.

[discoinfiltrator]

I saw ladytron & css there- it was all seats but also GA. it's a great venue- like a mini version of the greek. it's small enough that there's not a bad seat in the house.

[Young blood]

my memorial day weekend. and instead of bad boy bill il be at STANTON WARRIORS!

[leo01g]

Booka Shade @ The Avalon 7-26.

Nice! i missed them at coachella so this should be a good show. Im still waiting on for a simian mobile disco show.

[woogie846]

Anyone else seeing Crosby, Stills, and Nash at the Greek June 14th?

[uscjeff]

Anyone know if there is an opener for Cut Copy tonight?

[amyzzz]

Anyone else like to ask pointless questions?

[IdiotequeThom]

anyone going to Dresden Dolls on thursday?

[Boourns]

Meeee

[dubvulture]

Anyone know if there is an opener for Cut Copy tonight?

classixx

[IdiotequeThom]

Meeee

cool, let me know how it is; im going the next night. i really love both of their albums but im not sure how they'd be live.

[Boourns]

Incredible live, better than the albums. I really don't care for the b-sides album that they are touring to promote, though.

[diastereo]

damn! i didn't know apparat was playing tonight! i read the discussion about them in the IDM thread and have fallen in love with them!! wish i could go!

i'll see you at The Police, REM, and Cure shows though. :)

[fikus222]

For my birfday celebrations I saw Z-Trip on Saturday night at the Mighty.

The show was good, but it attracted the worst crowd I have seen at the Mighty.

On the plus side I did meet Mike Relm in the smoking area and I was able to talk with him for awhile, good stuff. Also Z-Trip played that hipster song, the one which calls hipsters jocks and nazis, very amusing.

[tessalasset]

Just got back from Lykke Li and El Perro Del Mar at the El Rey. Holy shit, girl crush on Lykke Li. She was fantastic. I loved her entire set. I knew every single song except one she sang in a duet with El Perro Del Mar, and that one nearly brought me to tears. I seriously can't wait to see her again. Like asap. From far away she looks like Ashley Olsen, and she has fantastic style, and just had the coolest vibe ever. She came out for a couple songs at the end of EPDM and completely stole the show. This girl is just like charisma central. And an amazing voice. My friend Valarie was watching the show with me and said "Oh my god, she sounds exactly like she does on her EP." Like...they do not fuck with that voice whatsoever on record. She can just stand there and haunt you. This was the end of their tour they said but if she comes somewhere near you, go see her. For reals.

[PassiveTheory]

Did you stay for El Perro Del Mar?

[tessalasset]

She came out for a couple songs at the end of EPDM and completely stole the show.
yes

[PassiveTheory]

Oh crap I missed the acronym. My bad.

I'm glad she sounds so authentic, I wanna see her live (I'd love to see her w/ Jens Lekman so she could ALSO do the backing vocals on some of his songs) really badly. I'm happy that you loved the show, though.

[sonofhal]

I did tell you it'd be worth going to. The acoustic set i saw just before Coachella was fantastic. The girl has some talent.

[rage patton]

How was elbow in Vancouver? I was thinking of going... but it was my girlfriends birthday that night. I hope you enjoyed the show, and Vancouver in general as well.

[tessalasset]

Chris thank you for pimping her out. Had I not met you I probably would not have been at that show tonight.

[sonofhal]

How was elbow in Vancouver? I was thinking of going... but it was my girlfriends birthday that night. I hope you enjoyed the show, and Vancouver in general as well.

The show was great, but rather short due to the soundchecks over-running by ages and the venue (well, church) opening over an hour late. All 3 Elbow shows i took in were superb, with the Avalon one probably being the best (longest set, best sound).

Vancouver was nice, although a lot colder than last time i visited (which was at exactly the same time of year). I had some amazing food there, too. Lolita's served the best mexican food i've ever had.

[luckyface]

damn! i didn't know apparat was playing tonight! i read the discussion about them in the IDM thread and have fallen in love with them!! wish i could go!

Too bad you didn't hear until sooner. Apparat was phenomenal! One of the better shows I have been to. The 3 piece band really added a lot to the songs. Most sounded even better than on the albums. The only slight bummer was the hour-long set, and that includes the encore break. Oh well, being done early might not be a bad thing, what with M83 at the Echoplex tonight. The ticket says the show starts at 8, so obviously the plex will find a way to get M83 on stage by midnight.

[sbessiso]

got be your own pet and she wants revenge tomorrow

should be some mild fun

[Derekx]

Hot Chip presale is up at 10.

[Hopeless Semantic]

Hot Chip presale is up at 10.

So looking forward to catching HC...

[Derekx]

So looking forward to catching HC...

Definitely! Will be my third time seeing them, although it should be my fourth. Damn them for rescheduling the day after Coachella.

[tessalasset]

Hear hear.

It's not "the" Mighty it's just Mighty.

[Hopeless Semantic]

Definitely! Will be my third time seeing them, although it should be my fourth. Damn them for rescheduling the day after Coachella.

So, because of my good friend, I will officially be attending the HC show! Sweet! This will be my second time seeing them (Coach was the first), but it will be the 1st actually knowing something about the group. I hadn't really listen to them prior to hearing their My Piano track on NCAA Basketball '08 videogame.

[microserfs21]

I concur, my wife and I saw them in SF on the last tour and we had a blast, so much so that we are going to BFD and the BFD afterparty too see as much of them (and Moby) as possible.

[BlackSwan]

same here, are you going to the SD Radiohead show still?

[fikus222]

It's not "the" Mighty it's just Mighty.

Have you not figured out that w/o the 'the' it sounds lame ? It saves on confusion and obviously sounds better.

[fikus222]

same here, are you going to the SD Radiohead show still?

I dunno if I can swing it, on the plus side, my AK friend and I have an old Coast Guard buddy attending SDSU, so we might be able to make it work. I would definitely like to see RH more than once this tour.

Well, I can tell you right now that the show last night (Cut Copy) ended at Midnight and then the Echoplex IMMEDIATELY started blasting Journey - Don't Stop Believin' as everyone cattle walked out the exit. GAYEST END OF A SHOW EVER.

[suprefan]

I know they stick to song like glue. I liked it, not out of irony as the young little hipsters do though. If they were real journey fans they'd play anything but dont stop believin' Might as well have played sweet caroline, then everyone could look at eachother in agreeance that they approve of the old music as well.

[martian_radio]

[mistdevil]

PRESETS TONIGHT!

[bleep]

in my recent experiences, the headliners took to the stage past 11 (latest was 11:30) and played past midnight, usually ending sometime between 12:30 and 12:45 (latest was 1).

[bleep]

also, paging tessalaset/Ms. El Rey - do you know what time the Kills are taking the stage tomorrow? The Childballads have dropped off the bill, so i'm no longer interested in showing up early.

[tessalasset]

yo no se? no hablo ingles.

[Hopeless Semantic]

just got tix for hot chip at the wiltern in LA sept 21! they are playing the 22nd as well

Sept. 21st is the My Morning Jacket show for my Bday and Hot Chip is the 22nd for my After Bday party! I'm pretty much set for the month of September! Last year it was Damien Rice, The Editors, and Atmosphere for my birthday...I'm so fortunate to have seen some of my favorite acts recently.

anyone have an Upload for Almost Killed Me by The Hold Steady? my fucking itunes just deleted some of my music, and I'm trying to get them back.

It depends on the show, I've had shows end at 11 and other shows end closer to 2 am...

Echo shows aren't an exact science...

[Boourns]

I wonder if M83 has ended yet.

[luckyface]

I wonder if M83 has ended yet.

Yes, it has. And you seriously made a terrible decision.

What a fantastic concert! The best I have seen in quite some time. I cannot believe this was their first show of the tour, as they were spot on all night. The new songs sounded even better live. In some cases, I didn't even think this was possible. My only complaint was that the show was too short. Great setlist, great show! I even got to meet barbara the ninja (for a brief minute as we were walking to the car), chrislasf, and hawkings vs reeve. All very good people.

The setlist:

Waves, Waves, Waves
Run Into Flowers
Graveyard Girl
Moonchild
*
We Own the Sky
Gone
Kim & Jessie
Highway of Endless Dreams
Don't Save Us from the Flames
Skin of the Night
A Guitar and A Heart

Encore:
Couleurs

[tessalasset]

Greek, is TM or pollstar such a hard thing to look at?
DUDE STOP BEING SUCH AN ASS. Seriously, twice on just this page. Back off, for reals. It's getting fucking annoying, Chris. Just answer the question straight or don't answer it at all. It's like you're in fucking Jr. High or something. Jesus.



And yes, m83 is out. Phenomenal tonight. Barbara pretty much got date raped and I fell asleep during every song and woke up at the end but it was such a good show. Just ask Rocke.

[tessalasset]

or read the post above mine.

[paulb]

And yes, m83 is out. Phenomenal tonight. Barbara pretty much got date raped and I fell asleep during every song and woke up at the end but it was such a good show. Just ask Rocke.

Is Barbara ok? She should get tested...that is pretty dangerous... I know some hotlines she can call if she needs to talk about it with someone. She isnt alone...

[thelastgreatman]

Supre just got F'd in the A by Tessa. Sweet.

[tessalasset]

Barbara you read that? Paulb wants yo digits gurl.

[luckyface]

Just ask Rocke.

I will add that the keyboardist and backup singer is very not unattractive. She was great all night.

Seriously, I can't emphasize it enough people. Go see M83 if they are coming to your town.

[Barbara, the ninja]

Hahhahahaha

Yeah I loved what I remembered of the show. Ah, funny story:

While I was waiting for M83, a cute tall guy was standing behind me. He was chatting me up when M83 started. I started feeling dizzy so I leaned back on him and he put his hands on my hips to dance and stuff when I BLACKED OUT!! Like apparently I just dropped to the floor, meep, and my friends dragged me outside because I was too heavy for them, haha. I went back in a little bit later and enjoyed the rest of the show.

They were really beautiful, from what I saw. I didn't like the 2nd opener for some reason, though. It was a little too boring and typical for me.

It was nice meeting you, Rocke! Sorry for assuming you were a gay man. It was Tessa's fault!

Ah, you are a sweetheart, paulb. Hopefully I'll never need those hotlines!

[paulb]

hopefully.

[luckyface]

Hahaha. It was nice meeting you too. I missed out on the conversation you were having with Tessa (I got distracted right when you were talking about the band you have a secret crush on). What did she say that prompted that?

[Boourns]

Oh well, at least the best album (the first) was completely ignored.

[Barbara, the ninja]

Ah, I said how I wanted to sleep with all of the band members and she said yeah we're lucky we're girls, or gay guys (arm wave in your direction). You should let your fiance know soon, bro. :)

[tessalasset]

It's ok, she's used to it. Rocke gets that a lot.

[luckyface]

Fucking Tessa trying to pass the gay buck, as usual.

[luckyface]

Oh well, at least the best album (the first) was completely ignored.

Misguided yet again.

It'd be awesome if they just play Before the Dawn Heals Us in its entirety. ;)

[Boourns]

Anyone wanna come see the Dresden Dolls with me tonight? It's not sold out and I hate going to this stuff solo.

[corbo]

what was the name of the band that came on right before m83?
they had some decent songs.

[luckyface]

I didn't see them, but I believe it was The Berg Sans Nipple.

[Boourns]

The Berg Sans Nipple? Wow, there's another band I will never listen to because of their horrible name.

[PassiveTheory]

Don't worry, Frank, there'll be ton of bisexual chicks at that show that you can oogle but wont go home with you.

They'll be going home with each other. Or Amanda.

haha, thats crazy. i bet that dude was stoked when you leaned back into him, thought he was gonna get some grindin action, until you just fell to the floor. his thoughts went from "oh yeaaaaa" to "oh shiit, WTF??"

[Boourns]

he put his hands on my hips to dance and stuff

People actually do this? If I ever tried, I'd get thrown out for being a molester, or something, regardless of the amount of chatter.

[Young blood]

Is Barbara ok? She should get tested...that is pretty dangerous... I know some hotlines she can call if she needs to talk about it with someone. She isnt alone...

Wait. Hold on......Some dude date raped you?

[Boourns]

Apparently she was kidding.

[Young blood]

Paul b is a she?

[thelastgreatman]

haha, thats crazy. i bet that dude was stoked when you leaned back into him, thought he was gonna get some grindin action, until you just fell to the floor. his thoughts went from "oh yeaaaaa" to "oh shiit, WTF??"

I'm thinking of going to see the Mates of State at Slims in SF tomorrow night, anyone going to see them on this tour ?

I've liked them for some time and I have only seen them once, when they opened up for DCFC with Spoon at the Greek and they were great. Their new album is really neat, hopefully I can convince my wife.

Edit:

Crap, I couldn't convince her. Apparently our two other shows this week are sufficient.

R.E.M. tickets are going pretty cheap on ebay, but I can't bid because the seller will only ship to confirmed addresses, and mine is 3000 mines away and I can't change it to an LA address since I don't have one yet. Hmm.

[bleep]

pssst, pass this on...pulling your hair tight into a bun like Lykke Li is the new hipster hairdo.

the Kills were Very Very good tonight. my heart fluttered momentarily when they began their "Search for Cherry Red" cover - i was expecting Stewart Lupton to emerge from side stage to sing along w/ VV. then i remembered that the Childballads pulled a "Bees excuse" and such sweetness was not to be.

[Boourns]

The Dresden Dolls fucking killed it tonight. And Smoosh made me even more ashamed of my traumatic childhood. Margaret Cho introduced all the acts and talked about G-shots and anal bleaching. Highlights of the night were the covers of "Fight For Your Right" (damn you Beastie Boys for never playing this) and "TWO HEADED BOY"...the cover I wanted to hear more than any other (and they do a lot).

Amanda Palmer will be playing the Troubadour in August. She didn't say what day. Hopefully doesn't conflict with Broken Social Radioheads.

[bmack86]

That does sound pretty awesome.

Amanda Palmer will be playing the Troubadour in August. She didn't say what day. Hopefully doesn't conflict with Broken Social Radioheads.

shoulda seen them in 87, now shut up.

I saw REM last time at the Greek as well. It was a surprisingly good show, especially since I hadn't planned on seeing them. I did a favor for a friend who couldn't go and bought his tickets off of him and went in his stead. This time I'm really in it for Modest Mouse, though REMs Accelerate is a pretty good album. My wife and I will be getting silly in the budget seats (lawn).

[EmploymentSelect]

Who's concert is it?

If you are referring to my post it is the National and Modest Mouse opening for REM.

I had a dream about seeing REM at the greek...it's not happening though...

[fikus222]

Good deal, are they going to set up chairs ?

I have never been to the Greek for anything other than GA. REMs last time here was GA and I think they pulled the whole 3 tiered ticketing due to Modest Mouse being on the bill. Essentially to give the older REM fans a chance to see the show up close and sit.

The Greek is well versed in the chair set up, due to its use as a theater and for UCB graduation ceremonies.

Though, there will probably be quite a few people interested in seeing this show from a seated position. <- meh

Yeah, those elderly REM fans can get pretty rowdy as they rush the stage to throw their undies at Michael.

Nah, the chairs probably link together, either on the legs or at the bottom of the seat.

That just means that you won't have to get as close to throw your undies as far the rest of the fans.

CSS tickets on sale tomorrow. Anyone here going to see them? And if you are, are you going to get there super early (or stay late) in hopes of meeting them? How much luck does one usually have with this at the Mayan?

I gotta say the one thing you californians got on us new yorkers is the look of your venues, mainly the Hollywood Bowl and the Greek. The only outdoor venues we have are in parks and Jones Beach Ampitheater, which sucks except for the fact that it's right on the water. We do have some nice indoor venues though...so there's that.

[suprefan]

Also The SB Bowl... And I can agree with you, there are some awesome venues in NY I woudl love to go to someday.

the ocean is about 2 miles away and visible form the top of the venue like in the pic

Is Terminal 5 really as horrible as everyone on brooklyn vegan says it is?

Well, I might be wrong, but it looks like we won't get to see the ocean at The Radio Heads because OMG FUCKING PIT TICKETS! w00t!

So I hear there's a good Irish pub in town that has Bangers n Mash. I am so hitting that after the show.

http://wheredaveis.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/upt2.jpg

Webster Hall's a pretty cool looking venue, but the sound isn't so great.
Irving Plaza and Bowery are great for shows, but nothing exciting to look at.

and then there's McCarren Pool...which was a cool idea, but concrete and brick surrounding a stage makes for echoes
http://www.licnyc.com/gallery/d/32845-2/Amol__090306_021.jpg

[suprefan]

Beacon looks nice, reminds me of the Pantages. I wish more bands that I like played the Orpheum, is such a cool place to see a show.

[Tylerdurden31]

Liberty State Park! Radiohead! That will be epic (again).

Is Terminal 5 really as horrible as everyone on brooklyn vegan says it is?

i missed the liberty state park show....

Terminal 5...it all depends. If you're on the floor it's decent, but if you're up on the 2nd or 3rd floor you can't really see anything unless you're 6'5" or you're right up against the railing. The acoustics aren't great. I don't have any real problems with it.

Brooklyn Vegan is full of hipster douchebags. All they do is complain about everything and say "What time does Daft Punk go on?" I mostly avoid comments on there.

Oh yeah...there's also the new Music Hall of Williamsburg. While not as awesome as North Six used to be(where the music hall is now) it's still pretty nice.

[Boourns]

The Orpheum is lovely. Saw the Dresden Dolls there in 2006.

In New York I've seen shows at Keyspan Park, BB King's Blues Club, Phish performing on top the Ed Sullivan Theater Marquee and a couple shows upstate at SPAC.

[chiapet]

fikus, I am partial to Great American Music Hall:

http://www.herecomestheguide.com/images/location/GreatAmerMusicHall/GreatAmerMusicHall1.jpg
http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/1480/11491149.JPG

Swedish Hall & Cafe du Nord are nice too (I am being lazy and couldn't find good pics).

The fillmore is not bad either.
I'm going to a concert at Grace Cathedral next week. I'm pretty excited, I've never really been inside.

[fikus222]

I also like the GAMH, though I haven't been there since Peeping Tom in '06.

The Fillmore is by far my fav, it has such a rich history and bands just love performing there.

I will be going to the Cafe du Nord for the first time on June 11th for Jeremy Enigk's show.

[chiapet]

I think if you like GAMH and Bimbo's, you'll like Cafe du Nord. It's similar decor/era/style but on a smaller scale. Plus it is mere feet from Lucky 13, where you should stop and have some beers and sit out back on the patio if the weather is nice.

[fikus222]

Right on, thanks.

I also haven't been to the Independent or the Elbow Room. I think I have been to all of the other minor and major venues in the Bay Area, well I haven't been to the Concord pavillion. From what I hear I am not missing much there.

I wonder if anyone on here caught the Mates of State show at Slim's tonight ?

[dorkfish]

Cafe du Nord blows if it's a crowded show, and you're not in the first 6 or so rows of people from the stage. It's a really narrow, poorly designed venue.

The Swedish Hall upstairs rules, though, in a bizarre kind of way.

[Boourns]

Check out the Orpheum here:
http://www.laorpheum.com/gallery.html

[fikus222]

Cafe du Nord blows if it's a crowded show, and you're not in the first 6 or so rows of people from the stage.

Good to know, the show hasn't sold out yet and I plan on getting there relatively early so I should be in pretty good shape.

[dorkfish]

Yeah, I saw Bright Eyes there a 4 or 5 years ago. Orpheum's nice.

[fikus222]

Orpheum's nice.

Oh, I forgot about that one. I haven't been there, isn't that where the Flight of the Concords will be performing ?

[dorkfish]

As for more SF venues, the Nob Hill Masonic can be pretty nice, as well.

The concert hall at Berkeley is pretty good, too, though the name escapes me.

Davies is nice.

The concert hall at the Palace of Fine Arts is nice.

Herbst Theatre is nice.

The Concourse is pretty subpar.

Bill Graham Civic is pretty subpar.

Elbo Room is decent.

Rickshaw Stop is wonderful depending on the audience.

Hemlock Tavern is good if you like intimately cramped shows.

[fikus222]

^ Agreed

That's it, FOTC are at both the Masonic and Davies.

I also like (the) Mighty, the crowd has been consistently good, up until Z-Trip last Saturday. I will be there again tomorrow night for some live electronica.

[rage patton]

Anyone here go to the Crudo show tonight? I would love to know how it was. I am so excited to be seeing them at Sasquatch on Saturday.

[Sushov23]

September 19th and 20th for Street Scene.

[sonofhal]

June 13th - Gnarls Barkley and Peeping Tom - Bush Hall
June 14th - Gnarls Barkley and Peeping Tom - Union Chapel

[Sushov23]

that is sick right there.

[PassiveTheory]

Anyone here go to the Crudo show tonight? I would love to know how it was. I am so excited to be seeing them at Sasquatch on Saturday.

I'm pretty sure Greg (gmoney) will add his thoughts, but yeah I went.

The show was fucking fantastic, Josh, you are going to love them at Sasquatch.

I totally can't give you a setlist, but basically it's like Peeping Tom but minus the bullshit. Most of the songs are balls-out and mosh-able and the covers they chose (Running With The Devil, Life On Mars among others) were choice.

They came out in all butcher/restaurant costumes (going with the theme of Crudo = raw meat) and Mike made references to working in the kitchen (when talking about the fries: *motions to his crotch, jacking off into the fries*) so yeah, it's all about being raw.

Most of the songs had that rap-rock feel to them, some were calm, but basically a moshpit formed and I shoved some asshole who ran into me off his feet, it was pretty funny.

But yeah, pretty raucus stuff, I'm pretty sure there were no FNM or Mr. Bungle covers (I could be wrong) but basically... the crowd kinda sucked. They were dead for San Quentin (I think that's his name) because, basically, they were 70% white hipsters, and they either just stood still or moshed to everything (those were the bros; one asked me to go see the Melvins and Dead Kennedys so at least they didn't have totally crappy music taste) but, yeah, the encore was the best part of the show:

"Book of the Month" --> "Mojo" --> "Life on Mars"

Dan the Automater was fantastic in all his get-ups and turntabling, this was the set-up;

Mike Patton
Dan the Automater
MC Tah-Jet (I don't know how the dude's name is spelled... it's pronounced "tah-jhey")
Butterscotch on keys and beatboxing (had a kickass beatbox song)
Guitarist dude
Drummer dude
Bassist dude (who did some dancing)

But yeah, Josh, you're going to fucking love it. I honestly suggest to anyone who enjoys amped music to go check out Crudo, they won't disappoint.

Here are some of my guesses to the set-list:

Opener --> "Running With the Devil" cover
something
"Sunshine and Rain" song (???)
something really Linkin Park sounding (sorry, that's the first thing that came to mind)
something
possible Lovage cover?
Butterscotch's solo
"Are You Down?" song (???)
something
"PUNISHMENT" song (???)
------
Encore:
"Book of the Month"
ridiculous guitar and beatboxing
"Mojo" (everyone went NUTS)
"Life on Mars" (everyone went MORE NUTS)

EDIT: also, I met the aforementioned gmoneyak, and he's a cool dude. You were right, man, fuck those hipsters for just standing there... no wonder Mike didn't come over to our side as much... Goddamn them.

[Boourns]

Life on Mars? Sweet. Sounds like a great show. If they play Detour or Coachella, I'd definitely check them out, conflicts permitting.

[fikus222]

EDIT: also, I met the aforementioned gmoneyak, and he's a cool dude. You were right, man, fuck those hipsters for just standing there... no wonder Mike didn't come over to our side as much... Goddamn them.

Yeah the GAMH sometimes gets lame crowds. I remember seeing Architecture in Helsinki there and was positively repulsed by the quality of the hipsters in attendence. Normally I don't mind them so much, but they were annoying as hell. Though, the GAMH did have a cool crowd for Peeping Tom.

[PassiveTheory]

I mean, honestly, there were good people there tonight, but when I turned around and saw maybe 5 people dancing to San Quentin I had a feeling they were going to suck.

[betao]

When I saw Explosions on the Sky last April, during nearly every quiet part in the performance, a group of girls (who looked like they were in the first years of high school) standing next to me would laugh/giggle/talk and the usual preteen shit.

I have never lit anyone on fire before, but my god did they push me.

[suprefan]

and no mention of Slims? I like that place....

[4Ransom]

so the national is playin at HOB in SD on the 28th. should i go? how good were they at coachella? anybody else here in SD planning on going?

[PassiveTheory]

You should go, sex, cause I cant.

[4Ransom]

You should go, sex, cause I cant.

did you see crudo last night? and are they playing anymore dates (besides sasquatch)? i cant seem to find any when i search, except for euro dates...

[PassiveTheory]

Yeah, go back a page and look at the very last post. I wrote up a little review.

And apparently there's like one more solo show, Sasquatch, and that's it, for some reason.

[rage patton]

Oh man... Running with the Devil and Life On Mars? Fucking awesome. How long did they play for? At Sasquatch they play for 50 minutes I think, so I hope they don't cut out to many covers. Its awesome the hear they play Mojo too. And its great to hear that Butterscotch is still with them. I still find it hard to get over how much bass her vocals are able to make.
Lee, I don't think I could you could have said anything to make this show sound better. A Faith No More/Mr. Bungle cover would have made me go nuts, but I really wasn't expecting it... so that's no let down. I can't wait for Sasquatch!!!

[PassiveTheory]

I want to say that they went on around 10pm, maybe 10:05 or 10:10 at the latest and I remember checking my phone after the show (and after running around a bit and getting a shirt for my friend) around 11:40, so I want to say that they played for an hour or an hour and 10 minutes? That sounds sort of right.

[4Ransom]

Yeah, go back a page and look at the very last post. I wrote up a little review.


whoops, im an idiot.

that show sounds awesome. i hope he comes to sd sometime. thats cool they still have butterscotch. i really enjoyed peeping tom at coachella. way more than i was expecting too, since i wasnt that into the album beforehand.

[rage patton]

Hmmm... so probably 10 or 20 minutes of the set will be cut for Sasquatch... I hope running for the Devil, Mojo and Life on Mars are not some of the songs cut.

that show sounds awesome. i hope he comes to sd sometime. thats cool they still have butterscotch. i really enjoyed peeping tom at coachella. way more than i was expecting too, since i wasnt that into the album beforehand.

I thought the album was ok... but they were one of my favorite sets of 07. Blew me away. My girlfriend wasn't really a Mike Patton fan at all before that show. She now loves Peeping, FNM and Mr. Bungle. She is excited for Crudo now as well.

yea, my girlfriend was really impressed by them in 07 also. was one of the highlights of that day for us. we almost skipped them for somebody else, but decided to go wander into the tent for a second and check them out. needless to say we never left.

[Newro7ic]

My opinion is never miss an opportunity to see The National. They put on a great performance, and their music is amazing, anyway. They were awesome at Coachella. If I were in SD, I would go. That's a little too far of a drive though, for a Wednesday night.

Are you serious this is nowhere near Rock The Bells. Do you only listen to Rhymesayers affiliated artists or something?

what kind of seats do you have for White River? I wanted to go to that one, but could get anything in the first 20 rows... looks like a great venue.

[IdiotequeThom]

Wow! I just managed to get two tickets for the Police and Elivs Costello for $100 under face value. 5th row in the pit!

[suprefan]

Ok so you still dropped about $250 on the set.

[Sushov23]

250>450. WAKA! WAKA!.

[IdiotequeThom]

more like $300, but still, 300>500.

[Sushov23]

that is very good for Police tickets. DAMN. Good Luck was on your side for that one.

[Sushov23]

I'm going to SF next month(June 10th-15th). Can anyone let me know about any good shows going on during that time?

[wmgaretjax]

AU and Parenthetical Girls @ Healthy Times Fun Club t'night

[luckyface]

Tyler, if you don't go to this show, you will be a douchebag of epic proportions.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d137/benelli3000/tta.jpg

[PassiveTheory]

Fuck are they only playing LA, Rocke?

[luckyface]

Fuck are they only playing LA, Rocke?

I wish. Apparat just played here, but TTA hasn't been around these parts since I have been out here.

[gmoneyak]

I'm pretty sure Greg (gmoney) will add his thoughts, but yeah I went.

The show was fucking fantastic, Josh, you are going to love them at Sasquatch.

I totally can't give you a setlist, but basically it's like Peeping Tom but minus the bullshit. Most of the songs are balls-out and mosh-able and the covers they chose (Running With The Devil, Life On Mars among others) were choice.

They came out in all butcher/restaurant costumes (going with the theme of Crudo = raw meat) and Mike made references to working in the kitchen (when talking about the fries: *motions to his crotch, jacking off into the fries*) so yeah, it's all about being raw.

Most of the songs had that rap-rock feel to them, some were calm, but basically a moshpit formed and I shoved some asshole who ran into me off his feet, it was pretty funny.

But yeah, pretty raucus stuff, I'm pretty sure there were no FNM or Mr. Bungle covers (I could be wrong) but basically... the crowd kinda sucked. They were dead for San Quentin (I think that's his name) because, basically, they were 70% white hipsters, and they either just stood still or moshed to everything (those were the bros; one asked me to go see the Melvins and Dead Kennedys so at least they didn't have totally crappy music taste) but, yeah, the encore was the best part of the show:

"Book of the Month" --> "Mojo" --> "Life on Mars"

Dan the Automater was fantastic in all his get-ups and turntabling, this was the set-up;

Mike Patton
Dan the Automater
MC Tah-Jet (I don't know how the dude's name is spelled... it's pronounced "tah-jhey")
Butterscotch on keys and beatboxing (had a kickass beatbox song)
Guitarist dude
Drummer dude
Bassist dude (who did some dancing)

But yeah, Josh, you're going to fucking love it. I honestly suggest to anyone who enjoys amped music to go check out Crudo, they won't disappoint.

Here are some of my guesses to the set-list:

Opener --> "Running With the Devil" cover
something
"Sunshine and Rain" song (???)
something really Linkin Park sounding (sorry, that's the first thing that came to mind)
something
possible Lovage cover?
Butterscotch's solo
"Are You Down?" song (???)
something
"PUNISHMENT" song (???)
------
Encore:
"Book of the Month"
ridiculous guitar and beatboxing
"Mojo" (everyone went NUTS)
"Life on Mars" (everyone went MORE NUTS)

EDIT: also, I met the aforementioned gmoneyak, and he's a cool dude. You were right, man, fuck those hipsters for just standing there... no wonder Mike didn't come over to our side as much... Goddamn them.


A lil' late in the game, but..

Last night was a pretty damn nice night.

Crudo was a good time. A lot of their music is what I would describe as party music, mostly hip/hop in structure with some songs rocking out more than others. Yeah, some songs walk the line of even being a lil' cheesy, but as long as the choruses allow Patton to sing more that's always more of a good thing.

They really don't take themselves too seriously, and Patton looks like he's having a lot of fun with this project. The guy always brings it onstage, and I always find his enthusiasm infectious.

It's funny, i didn't even notice Butterscotch onstage 'til at least the 3rd song. She was a little incognito with her hair now long and a hat pulled down low, I didn't even recognize her. She soon ditched the hat and her beatboxing solos were even better than w/Peeping Tom's, awesome..

It was cool hearing a couple Lovage tunes, "Anger Management" was an early one, (maybe the 3rd song), and of course "Book of the Month" later on.

The covers were sick, "Running with the Devil" as an opener was hilarious.

"Are You Down With It" was played, it was off one of the Handsome Boy Modeling School albums.

The dancing bassist interlude during one of the songs was pretty fucking funny as well.

Overall, it was a really fun show. And yeah, I'll never get those neanderthals who get up front row and never move a muscle the entire show, fucking pointless shit.

A quick and crappy pic, (those GAMH guys were hounding me):
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f178/Gmoneyak2/My%20real%20pics/DSC03955.jpg

ALSO:

The night worked out perfectly, after Crudo I bounced over to 330 Ritch St to catch Foals, (mostly out of curiosity). I got there 5 minutes before they came on.

Damn..I gotta say, I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed their show. They're a fun band to catch live, very uptempo and lively. I really only knew a couple tracks of theirs, "Balloons" and "Cassius". i thought they sounded really spot-on, many of their better songs had some nice extended bits. The guitarists really seemed to play off each other well and the crowd was dancing from the beginning, their drummer was ace. They'll be at Coachella next year.

I had a pretty fucking good time there.

I doesn't hurt that I was feeling nicely tips' at the time and had met a girl there who was basically gnawing on my neck all night. I didn't get to sleep 'til about 6am.

Good Times..


I got some short vids from both shows, I'll upload those when I get a chance.


Lee was obviously disappointed that I actually don't look like my avatar:

[fikus222]

I saw Telefon Tel Aviv at the '07 Yuri's Night, they put on a very good show. I totally recommend them.

Goddamn, I didn't recognize "Anger Management", why the fuck didn't I hear that... And I haven't listened to the HBMS discs I acquired recently enough to know that specific tune. Ah well, fun times nonetheless.

I'm glad you didn't miss the encore and still managed to go see Foals. Me and Mari ended up trying to get into a bar with this chilean couple and their other friends but... I was denied. Lame.

Man, I love that SF is the kind of place where you can go to one show and then, when that's done, you can go to another. Awesome.

[gmoneyak]

Yeah, it's epecially cool when you're coming midweek for a show and are still able to find a second one as backup. It makes the trip so much more worth it, last time it was The Black Keys then Digitalism afterwards..Nice

[woogie846]

Anyone going to the Raconteurs September 22nd at the Greek?

It has to be, since they are at the Treasure Island Festival in SF on Sept 21st.

[kreutz2112]

Just bought my ticket for Wilco and Fleet Foxes aug 18. YES!

[woogie846]

Is anyone going to Warped Tour? I don't know about it, but $30 for Against Me!, The Vandals, Reel Big Fish, and Murs sounds like a pretty good deal.

Wait, is Murs still doing Warped or did he cancel?

[Sushov23]

Murs is out. Is there anywhere to buy tickets without a service fee?

[sbessiso]

and they never fail to deliver

[Hopeless Semantic]

Murs is out?? Son of a bitch!

Murs, in my opinion, would be the only reason to go to the WT. Well, to me there isn't enough bands I would want to see to go anyhow.

[tubescape]

Going to R.E.M., Modest Mouse, & the National this Saturday 5/31 at the Berkeley Greek. Will be my first time at this venue and I've heard great things. Scored some great seats on eBay for super cheap (2 hard tix for $60 with expedited shipping included). If anyone is interested but decided not to pay $50 for lawn or $75 for seats through TM, check eBay, looks like the brokers over-bought for this event.

[sonofhal]

Off to Barcelona in the morning for Primavera - weather is forecast as heavy showers. Portishead in the rain should be fun.
