Upcoming Shows

[iv3rdawG]

I just found out my trip during that first week of October is changing for the following week. So I might be going to MBV, let me know if anyone is selling, and how much, before I buy my tickets.

Wait for the Sigur Ros date to be confirmed and you should have some offers.

[woogie846]

I might possibly be going to Kanye West on Saturday.

[fikus222]

Thoroughly enjoyed the National, Modest Mouse and REM show this evening. The NES peeps at the Greek were kind enough to allow my hobbled/handicapped wife (she tore her ACL) and I to upgrade our lawn seats to the bowl area's disabled person's seating. This enabled us to see the show from 20 feet away. Good times.

GODMOTHERFUCKINGDAMNITTOSHITHELLWHOREBITCH!

[ThomThom]

Oh shit Rocke...

[suprefan]

And now Rocke misses something amazing cause his ass is getting married. Sorry dude

[ThomThom]

Getting married in Hawaii > Mogwai... Don't worry Rocke, they are touring a new album, they will be back.

[suprefan]

Its called Coachella, and at least he isnt missing Radiohead.

so Sasha, you excited!??!??! It doesnt conflict with anything

[ThomThom]

Rocke, when do you get back from Hawaii?

[luckyface]

Well, I don't trust them to come back after they douched us on a second leg last time around. Seriously, this is my favorite band and I have been hoping above anything that they didn't tour during late August/September since we set the date. God, I am so pissed right now. I know Hawaii is better, but shit. Couldn't they have hit up the US after ATP?

At least Sigur isn't touring then. Now if Smashing Pumpkins can avoid that date, I won't be as bummed.

[SoulDischarge]

Goddamnit. I need to pay attention to this thread.

[luckyface]

Rocke, when do you get back from Hawaii?

September 13. So I miss them by 4 days. The following weekend is ATP and lord knows I am not going to be able to travel to NY after missing 3 weeks of work (and spending a shit ton of money).

[suprefan]

Im happy there wil be some awesome things right after Radiohead to start the fall off with a bang. NIN, Mogwai, woo!!

[ThomThom]

so Sasha, you excited!??!??! It doesnt conflict with anything

Are you kidding? I have been waiting for Mogwai to come back for a long time, glad they can finally make it back and not conflict with anybody. I'm a tad bummed that the biggest Mogwai fan I know of is missing them, but they'll be back.

[suprefan]

Are you kidding? I have been waiting for Mogwai to come back for a long time, glad they can finally make it back and not conflict with anybody. I'm a tad bummed that the biggest Mogwai fan I know of is missing them, but they'll be back.

Just syaing man, and where is Gabe, he is gonna be happy too.

[Boourns]

Isn't this Mogwai's first proper LA gig in years? I thought they skipped LA and just did Coachella during the 04 and 06 tours.

I can't fucking wait.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

UH OH...

Mogwai @ The Wiltern - Tuesday September 9th, 2008

where did you get this? FUCK!!! get me a Denver date!!!

[Ardentbiscuit]

Mogwai at the Wiltern?? Really?? I hope so.

So is anyone going to this supposed Beck show at the Echo?

http://ticketweb.com/snl/VenueListings.action?venueId=19140

[suprefan]

Yeah, a bit. Not me though, but yes.

[orbit]

where did you get this? FUCK!!! get me a Denver date!!!

they are playing in dallas too, so there will probably be a denver date.

[miscorrections]

UH OH...

Mogwai @ The Wiltern - Tuesday September 9th, 2008

I just might have to be there.

[PassiveTheory]

Is the LA date going to be Mogwai and Fuck Buttons? If so, yeah... I might go to that.

[sbessiso]

[suprefan]

Keep going back a few pages to yesterday morning you will see.

[sbessiso]

whats the point supre? whats the point? i know enough

:(

[saxomophone]

Flight of the Conchords were a lot of fun last night, and they played a pretty long set. Aziz Ansari was freaking hilarious as well.

Did they let you bring cameras in? If they didn't, did they search bags thoroughly?
I'm so excited!!

[woogie846]

Did they let you bring cameras in? If they didn't, did they search bags thoroughly?
I'm so excited!!

Cameras aren't allowed, and they do search bags pretty thoroughly. However, if you don't have a bag and just put the camera in your pocket, they won't check you. Still, it is a risk.

[saxomophone]

Thank you!

[woogie846]

Thank you!

Make sure you get there for Aziz Ansari!

[Somewhat Damaged]

GODMOTHERFUCKINGDAMNITTOSHITHELLWHOREBITCH!

Further evidence that getting married just isn't worth it.

[tessalasset]

Flight of the Conchords were fucking great tonight. I actually knew the first song Bic Runga played, called Sway, tho I'm not sure how I know it. Perhaps it's on a commercial or something?

Aziz was pretty funny too. Not as funny as I expected, but I laughed out loud for sure. The absolutely best part of his set... he makes some joke about a shitty rapper, or something, I can't remember, but the punchline of the joke was "What are you, some third cousin of Weird Al or something?" Everyone in the audience started ROARING with laughter. He kinda laughed for a bit and then was like "ok what, is Weird Al here or something?" and everyone screams "YES!!!!" All of a sudden the house lights turn on and there is weird al in one of the boxes just off the stage, smiling and waving to him. It was probably the funniest moment of the whole night. He was like "ok, i know that joke wasn't THAT funny, so something had to have been up." He got so distracted after that. So great.

The guys were awesome as usual. I don't think it was better or worse than their El Rey show - I remember crying laughing the whole time at the El Rey, but this time they did the same songs obviously, but changed them up a lot. I love how much they improvise when the crowd heckles them/yells shit out to them. They can make an entire routine out of something someone yells out and completely stay in character. And my favorite fucking hilarious ongoing joke of theirs was how they commented on the lighting during the show. It started out with them just saying like "can we make it a little darker, more intimate in here?" and eventually turned into Jermaine saying "Yeah, can we make the lights less pompous, please?" And after a few more songs, they are about to play Albi the Racist Dragon, and they're like "ok can you make the lights more cavernous now? We need the cavernous lights." And they sat and waited for the lights to change, but it was taking a while so Bret's like "Just push 'cave.'" Oh my god, I lost it. There was something else too that made me laugh.... oh yeah, during Albi the Racist Dragon, the part where the dragon asks who it is, and the Albanian boy usually just says "It's me, the little albanian boy who you left very badly disfigured" or whatever... tonight he went on and on... "it's me, you charred my skin so badly, and it took every last ounce of strength in my awfully burned hand to pull myself out of the hot burning embers and it hurt so badly and i got so burned...." and he kept going on and on and I was laughing sooooo hard. Like crying. Oh man. OH MAN. While they were introducing Think About It, they started talking about "the issues," one of which was saving the whales, and how hard that would actually be to do. How they're so heavy, and where do you store them after they're saved, and then somehow they started talking about if you gave them whale a cell phone so he could call for help if he needed to be saved, and how awkward that would be for the whale to try to dial 911 with his flippers (and they're acting this out the whole time). And then if by some miracle they are able to get through to 911, and when the 911 operator asks what the problem is, they just talk in whale noises. Bret was the operator and Jermaine was the whale crying and holy SHIT it was funny. They were way strict about video/camera usage (some guard wouldn't even let me call my friend to listen to a song) but I hope they somehow recorded their whale thing. That was probably my favorite sketch of theirs. But yeah, good shit tonight. Tooonnnnns of different FotC tshirts there that people either made, or old ones they wore to show how old school they were.

[bballarl]

Nice review. Sounds like fun.

[luckyface]

I actually knew the first song Bic Runga played, called Sway, tho I'm not sure how I know it. Perhaps it's on a commercial or something?

American Pie.

[paulb]

sounds fun...I sure wish i was going to Beck tonight.

[tessalasset]

American Pie.For real? I never even saw that tho. Was it on the commercials for it or something?

[tessalasset]

Holy shit that chick has been around a long time. That's crazy.

[woogie846]

They played Albi the Racist Dragon?? They didn't play that on Friday.

[eudaemonia]

I was so happy to see Bic Runga on stage just as I took my seat. I've been wanting to see/hear her live. I nearly shat my pants when she played "Sway", it was the only song of hers I know (yeh, from American Pie). Her whole set was pretty sweet -- I may have to go to Largo @ Coronet on June 17th now.

That bit of Weird Al was actually Aziz talking about the sudden outburst of song by Coldstone employees when they were given a $1 tip. That was fucking hilarious and he was thrown off a bit. :lool

The night kept getting better and better as it progressed, for me. Even when we were all leaving I was stokked to walk past Eric Idle (omg Monty Python) as he was heading for the backstage area. :dumbo

[luckyface]

For real? I never even saw that tho. Was it on the commercials for it or something?

What hole have you been living in??

I don't think it was on the commercials, but it did get some radio play back in the day.

[sonofhal]

Some little gems this week.

Tue - The Dodos
Wed - Why? and Jonquil
Thu - Leona Naess

[tessalasset]

What hole have you been living in??

I don't think it was on the commercials, but it did get some radio play back in the day.

I bet you that Trick's going to that show.

[tessalasset]

So I called myself during Boom last night, to record it on my voicemail, and I just listened to it now, and all it is is women screaming. It was like the Beatles last night.

I was just about to type "I swear, if these guys weren't so hot there's no way they'd be this big" and then I thought of Tenacious D.

[chiapet]

Yesterday, got tickets for Liz Phair @ the Fillmore, and !!! @ the Independent. Holding off on Ratatat and Built to Spill/Quasi for now...

Quiet week this week, only BFD & after party.

[corbo]

MOTHERFUCKER!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I JUST GOT THE EMAIL TOO! :*(

[Newro7ic]

Beck's show tonight has been canceled...

Now I don't feel so bad about not going. I would have had to get rid of my 65daysofstatic tickets.

Some things are just too good to be true.

[eudaemonia]

So I called myself during Boom last night, to record it on my voicemail, and I just listened to it now, and all it is is women screaming....

9/18/08 Terminal 5, New York Ny


onsales are on ticketmaster, presale weds for seattle....

[brokenDREAMS]

Beck's show tonight has been canceled...

Damn this sucks... Anyway, here's something else that seems as though it wasn't mentioned here:

SANTOGOLD PERFORMANCE & CD SIGNING
Monday, June 9 at 6pm
Indie 103.1 FM presents Santogold in a special appearance, performing live at the Hollywood & Highland Central Courtyard, followed by a CD signing in the Virgin Megastore Hollywood. Santogold, the album, was met with universal acclaim and praise for its genre-defying sound that re-imagines new wave, pop, punk, dub, dancehall and electro. Fans can purchase the CD at Virgin Megastore to receive a wristband and have it signed by Santogold following the performance.
*1 wristband per CD purchased. 1 person per wristband.

[saxomophone]

Make sure you get there for Aziz Ansari!

He was so funny. I loved the thing about gay rights he did hahaha

Oh my god, FOTC were so amazing!! Tessa, I can't believe you remembered so much of what they said. I was going to try and write things down, but that would have been impossible. I couldn't even remember before the show started when Jemaine was talking about Aziz and the funny joke at the barbecue. The only thing I wrote down was "I thought you said you were Portuguese." I thought that was the funniest thing, just the way he said it.
Do you know how long they played? It seemed really long.

[luckyface]

Well there goes that.


Some new Mogwai dates

9/4/08 Showbox Sodo, Seattle Wa
9/18/08 Terminal 5, New York Ny


onsales are on ticketmaster, presale weds for seattle....

I guess that confirms the LA date will be happening on the 9th. Those fuckers will be in Belgium 5 days before! Why couldn't they have taken a break??

[Sonicifyouwantit]

think Im adding to my list:

we are scientists @ el rey 7/1
Ting Tings @ zero one 6/14 if I can figure out who is selling the tix or if its still available.
hold steady @ avalon 7/30 might go to this saw them at troub and at bonnaroo last year so its a maybe.

got tix to does it offend you @ the echo 7/26 day before my bday, get your tix while you can on ticketweb.com

the faint @ the fonda 8/8 got my ticket for that already too!

[luckyface]

Man, I just finished out a stretch of 6 shows in 12 days, and 4 in 6. I am supposed to go to Coldplay tonight with the lady, but I don't know if I have it in me. It can sure get tiring hitting up so many shows in a row. I don't know how some of you do it. I am going to have a pretty big lull coming up here. A couple of shows I want to hit will not be available to me because of other people's weddings. I won't even mention the shows I am missing in early September.

Sigur in TJ - 6/8
Styrofoam/Broken Spindles - 6/18
Thievery Corporation - 6/22
Death Cab - 6/23
Radiohead - 8/24
Radiohead - 8/25
MMJ - 9/21
MBV - 10/2 (I am going to have to convert these to 10/1 somehow)
Sigur - 10/2

[eudaemonia]

think Im adding to my list:

Ting Tings @ zero one 6/14 if I can figure out who is selling the tix or if its still available.

It looks like it's a free show (http://www.01gallery.com/eventhosting/artistsforautism.html)... maybe possibly they'll ask for donations.

[rage patton]

So it looks like the Raconteurs anounced a bunch of new shows.

http://www.ticketmaster.ca/artist/1021259

[sbessiso]

yeah and the closest they come to Fl is Atlanta. pfft

[paulb]

fuck Beck! what a piece of shit.

[sbessiso]

fuck Beck! what a piece of shit.

what??

[paulb]

cancelling the day of the show.... why even announce the show at all, and offer a makeup date instead...

[JustSteve]

fuck Beck! what a piece of shit.

http://wahooker.googlepages.com/normal_wahmbulance.jpg

[BlackSwan]

Booo to this... Moby - Live 105 BFD08 [DJ Set] and booo to Fikus for making think different.

[bleep]

Beck's show tonight has been canceled...
when i woke up this morning, the thought of driving out to Silverlake, mingling at the Echo, and returning home way past bedtime seemed like such a chore, even for Beck. i'm slightly pleased with this turn of events. i'd be more bitter if the gig was to be held on a Friday or Saturday and not on a work night.

I was so happy to see Bic Runga on stage just as I took my seat.
wait, what!? this flew below my radar, i would have seriously considered going had i known she would open. i love this lady, she has penned many a good songs other than "Sway." thanks for the info on her Largo show.

[bakersfield]

The Cure Wednesday night (6/4) and then Mike Ness on 6/28!!!

[Sonicifyouwantit]

Man, I just finished out a stretch of 6 shows in 12 days, and 4 in 6. I am supposed to go to Coldplay tonight with the lady, but I don't know if I have it in me. It can sure get tiring hitting up so many shows in a row. I don't know how some of you do it.

I did 6 shows in row once, thats my max so far... Ive done 4 and 5 in row too...the worst is doing a monday/tuesday stretch after coachella...yeah those hurt.

It looks like it's a free show (http://www.01gallery.com/eventhosting/artistsforautism.html)... maybe possibly they'll ask for donations.

cool, thanks for the heads up

cancelling the day of the show.... why even announce the show at all, and offer a makeup date instead...

it happens

[suprefan]

So it looks like the Raconteurs anounced a bunch of new shows.

http://www.ticketmaster.ca/artist/1021259

Missed on

9/25/08 - Raconteurs, Santa Barbara Bowl


cancelling the day of the show.... why even announce the show at all, and offer a makeup date instead...

Yeah yeah, I wish it was the Beasties, you would cry even more.

[woogie846]

I don't want to come off as a dick, but inside I'm a little happy that he canceled, because I don't think that I'd be able to put up with the fact that I wasn't going.

[Sushov23]

I did 8 shows in two weeks this past April. 3 of those days where Coachella, and everything else. SHIT was brutal.

[fikus222]

Booo to this... Moby - Live 105 BFD08 [DJ Set] and booo to Fikus for making think different.

Yeah I hear ya, he changed his MySpace recently, so now it does say DJ set at BFD.

So the only live US show will be at the Virgin Fest in Baltimore. What a slacker.

[woogie846]

That Long Beach Blues Festival is looking mighty fine right now...

[PassiveTheory]

Yeah yeah, I wish it was the Beasties, you would cry even more.

Dude, Supre, what the fuck?... That's not cool. You'd bitch if Thrice canceled their show(s). We'd all bitch if an artist we like canceled on the day they were supposed to play.

[orbit]

like.. Radiohead canceling the santa barbara show.

[PassiveTheory]

like.. Radiohead canceling the santa barbara show.

I was going to use Radiohead as an example... But he's seeing RH like 12 times this year.

[woogie846]

like.. Radiohead canceling the santa barbara show.

Don't even joke, man. Don't even joke.

[Sonicifyouwantit]

I don't want to come off as a dick, but inside I'm a little happy that he canceled, because I don't think that I'd be able to put up with the fact that I wasn't going.

Dude, Supre, what the fuck?... That's not cool. You'd bitch if Thrice canceled their show(s). We'd all bitch if an artist we like canceled on the day they were supposed to play.

sometimes those are blessings in disguise, a night off from a show can be nice

[moviebruin]

I don't want to come off as a dick, but inside I'm a little happy that he canceled, because I don't think that I'd be able to put up with the fact that I wasn't going.

Word from the Echo is he cancelled when he saw all the tickets being scalped on the internet. Kinda stupid reason to cancel, since most are fans who get punished. weird scientology logic i guess. I sure wish it was going on because the Coldplay - Kimmel show was so uninspiring and blah. True it was free and down the block from me, plus it was the first ever performance of Violet Hill live (which i like), but i sure wish I had a nice cozy Beck show to finish off this monday night. oh well.

[bballarl]

Coldplay on Kimmel would have been a good time.

[tessalasset]

I want to post this in here because it's high traffic. I am breaking the rules. I'm crazy about this girl right now. She's so good. And I just found out she played at the El Rey last week. I lose.

I may go to the HOB Hollywood show

[PassiveTheory]

Hmmm my friend might want to go to the SF show...

[Ardentbiscuit]

The most shows I saw was 14 days in a row. That was in college.

Damn that was a crazy set of days...in that span I saw Ned's Atomic Dustbin at Iguanas in Tijuana and I was living in Northridge at the time!!

Some of the shows were in Hollywood, some San Diego, some at Jabberjaw (not around any more), some in Costa Mesa, and other various places.

I see they added The Kills to the Raconteurs show and Bitter:sweet is playing the El Rey.

[sonofhal]

Why? have rescheduled their show in London to the end of the month, when i'm in Manchester. Mumps and a broken arm is not a good enough excuse.

[tessalasset]

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

[shakermaker113]

Some of the shows were in Hollywood, some San Diego, some at Jabberjaw (not around any more), some in Costa Mesa, and other various places.

eh? as in, Jabberjaw was a town that disappeared?

[Ardentbiscuit]

Jabberjaw was a club in LA near Crenshaw Blvd near Roscoes down on Pico.

Great club, so sleazy, saw so many shows there including samiam, helmet, boss hog, bikini kill, huggy bear, offspring, jawbreaker, Nation of Ulysses, les thugs, and many other bands. Eric from Hole, Drew Barrymore and others use to hang out there.

I met Peter Buck there and Weird Al. They were just hanging out. Weird Al was playing Candyland in the game room.

[HunterGather]

If anyone cares, Busta Rhymes has been added to the lineup (i think the whole tour) for this years Projekt Revolution (that linkin park thing).

Chris Cornell is on it too.

And a European tour will follow by Busta later on followed by a U.S. tour.

[Sushov23]

That might get me to go to Projekt Revolution now. Ashes Divide, Busta, Chris Cornell, and Linkin Park is cool.

[RotationSlimWang]

Linkin Park is cool? I hope you get the gay plague.

[Sushov23]

I was talking about all 4 together, learn how to read you fucking douchebag idiot.

[RotationSlimWang]

Including them in any statement of "is cool" means you get the gay plague.

[Sushov23]

ok, just because I like the first 2 Linkin Park albums, and would see them live you feel the need to talk shit? You sir are a fucking hipster douchebag, who talks shit because you think it is"cool" to talk shit. Get off my dick, mijo.

[chairmenmeow47]

Yeah, go to the page on the rewards zone thing and you will see. Tomorrow they will make codes live. And that means there can be 2 nights for this, which seems likely.


come on supre, where's the douchey comment???

That you got pit? I dont care, good for you. Im seeing them at Treasure Island, that should be fun.

[full on idle]

We have to work Thursday, but pvk said we could drive 120 to try to make it. I'm going to play DS the whole time or knit so I don't feel like I'm going to die in a fiery crash.

ps are you going to tMG slash will you be in town this weekend?

[schoolofruckus]

Isn't this Mogwai's first proper LA gig in years? I thought they skipped LA and just did Coachella during the 04 and 06 tours.

I can't fucking wait.

Their last LA dates, besides Coachellas and opening for Curiosa, were two at the Knitting Factory in September 2003.

Where did we get this information about the Wiltern date? I'm trying to remain calm because the alternative is I throw my computer out the window.

In happiness. :)

[tessalasset]

I'm so glad I was born in the consistently best concert month ever.

I'm inclined to believe him. I'd just like to know from where the info originated.

Linkin Park is cool? I hope you get the gay plague.

Wow, rly?

They're alright.

And yes, the whole thing together (linkin,busta,cornell,etc) is a cool lineup.

I'll prolly check it out in Tampa.

[Ardentbiscuit]

how was ned's atmoic dustbin?

I thought they were awesome....the only band I saw more times back then was Blur....

That Tijuana show was insane...their way of crowd control was grab the person, punch them, throw them out the back door.

Some guy was running across the stage and the bouncer grabbed him and threw him into a bunch of people in the crowd. One of them (one of the people the guy was thrown onto) being my friend who went under the stage.

Does anyone know if the Flaming Lips, Foo Fighters, and Pearl Jam will be getting full sets?

[luckyface]

Damn, I would have gone to this. But guess what? Out of town hahaha.

I would imagine you are only getting a couple of songs tops from each, if not just one.

[suprefan]

Probably not, Vh1 Rock honors and its a benefit means they will play like 3 songs if that. This isnt a full out rock show, its gonna be a tv taping. they just happent to be selling some tickets for it.

[tessalasset]

Damn I wonder who's gonna play on my birthday this year. September - best month for shows. 12th - Friday night. Something big better happen.

[rage patton]

Im born in September too... I have seen some pretty good concerts in September too. It really is a good month.

[wmgaretjax]

I was pissed Mogwai was playing Showbox SoDo here, fucking worst venue in Seattle. So I was gonna see them in NY... But the only venue I've been to worse than SoDo is Terminal 5... Fuck it, the Seattle show is cheaper.

[rage patton]

Anyone know who is opening up for CSS on their September tour? I remember hearing that the Go! Team are opening up for a few shows... if that includes Vancouver then I may go to that show.

Yeah, September is always ridiculously good. And the first week or two in October. It seems to be the time of year when 90% of the acts I want to see are touring. Wonder why that is.

Yeah it's nice to see they'll be playing the SoCo free show in Madison a few days before my birthday, might have to jet up there like last year. (Sorry, Salah)

[Ardentbiscuit]

Suprefan is right, I think VH1 Rock Honors will be a waste of money. It's a tv show where they pick some influential bands and have other bands cover their songs in honor. Each band usually does 3 cover songs of the bands being honored and that's it. In between they have hosts, jokes, announcers, etc.

I think they said they are only honoring 1 band the Who which means that Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, and the Flaming Lips will do covers. There's a rumor Ozzy might perform.

I wouldn't pay to see it live. I'd wait for VH1 to show it so I could fast forward.I don't want to pay to be a seat filler.

The bands being honored don't always perform.

[RotationSlimWang]

I'm starting a band called The Gay Plague. Or Gay Cancer, maybe.

I wish they had the money to come over this way. They lived in Chicago when they toured and came to NY, so it wasn't as big of a trek. They put on an awesome show.

I think Styrofoam should be coming out to NYC. You should see him. That will make up for it.

If you have a Best Buy Rewards Zone membership in good standing as of a certain date they speficy, you can get a code thats good for pre sale tickets to the show of your choice. So yeah same thing for coldplay, people last year paid hundreds of dollars to even get a code cause they didnt have the rewards zone card. I got pretty good seats and Im sure there will be good ones for these shows too since its the only pre sale available. Go to the best buy page and check the rewards zone area for more info.

Things not off to a good start for Stone Temple Pilots on their comeback 2008 US Tour. This from one poster (and backed by several others) at the band's own message board: community.stonetemplepilots.com.
"Tonight's STP show at PNC Bank Arts Center was hands down the worst concert I've ever been too. I lost almost all my respect for this band. First, they came on stage an hour late. I thought there was going to be a riot if they didn't play. They finally came out and Wieland must have been on drugs. He forgot lyrics. He mumbled lyrics. He tripped on stage. He didn't sing in synch with the music at times. He nearly punched himself in the face with the mic. His speech in between songs was meaningless. It was incredible. If someone in the crowd acted like Weiland was, they would have been arrested for public intoxication. People were leaving early, people were booing, it was quite a site to see. It'll be interesting to see what happens to this band as the tour goes on...as for me, I think I'll skip STP from now on."

It'll be interesting to see what happens to this band as the tour goes on...as for me, I think I'll skip STP from now on."

holy shit... thanks for the heads up. hopefully someone buys my tix before the word gets out.

[BlueDevil50]

id be there if i lived there.

ya...i'm about an hour away so it's not too bad. never been to the sandbar but i heard it's nice and small. hopefully it'll be an awesome show!

Things not off to a good start for Stone Temple Pilots on their comeback 2008 US Tour. This from one poster (and backed by several others) at the band's own message board: community.stonetemplepilots.com.
"Tonight's STP show at PNC Bank Arts Center was hands down the worst concert I've ever been too. I lost almost all my respect for this band. First, they came on stage an hour late. I thought there was going to be a riot if they didn't play. They finally came out and Wieland must have been on drugs. He forgot lyrics. He mumbled lyrics. He tripped on stage. He didn't sing in synch with the music at times. He nearly punched himself in the face with the mic. His speech in between songs was meaningless. It was incredible. If someone in the crowd acted like Weiland was, they would have been arrested for public intoxication. People were leaving early, people were booing, it was quite a site to see. It'll be interesting to see what happens to this band as the tour goes on...as for me, I think I'll skip STP from now on."


It seems like there should be some way to give a refund. For 50 plus dollars that is completely unacceptable. Even though these bands totally blow, if I remember correctly didn't they offer refunds for tickets when the Creed and Puddle of Mud singers were wasted?

Will the Hollywood Bowl allow this? After an amazing Cure show?

If so, we riot. Bring your bats.

^there's the merch. i don't think t-shirts really cost $30 to make.
I bought this really cool Coldplay shirt for $40 back in 2005 at the concert. I only spent that much because it was a really cool design with 3/4 sleeves, and it was in a color I like. I still wear that shirt and it's very soft and nice. I'm a bit worried about the forthcoming Radiohead shirts--aren't they 40 or 45 bucks? And kind of goofy shirts too?

[Ardentbiscuit]

The Kroq presale is friday.

The Best Buy one is Thursday.

So Best Buy FTW.

Anyway I got floor seats for the Police with that Best Buy code.

Pretty awesome!

[suprefan]

^there's the merch. i don't think t-shirts really cost $30 to make.

Im sure Coldplay shirts will easily be $40 and not be made of recycled plastic bottles like Radioheads. And yes merch is a big part of income, sell 10,000 shirts a night and you are good.

[amyzzz]

I bet the Coldplay shirts look better though.

[Geno_guerrero]

Damn RX Bandits are still playing, I saw them for the release of Progress at Santa Clara University's "Basement" or also know as the brass rail.(not the strip club but SCU's venue for local and up-and-coming bands)

there are different allotments, though. just because it's a day earlier doesn't mean anything.

If you bought the shirts wholesale, they'd cost about $3-5 each.

[Ardentbiscuit]

All I'm saying is that I had a good experience with the Police.

And I've never pulled anything good with a Kroq presale.

WOW?!?!?! REALLY?!?! I HAD NO IDEA!

[BlackSwan]

i like my Radiohead shirt a lot and it is super comfy... so there.

[RotationSlimWang]

Anybody heard about some kind of afterparty with Moby?

[BlackSwan]

i think MSTRKRFT might be there too!

[RooTeefy]

WOW?!?!?! REALLY?!?! I HAD NO IDEA!

I take it that you're being a dickhead? Good job.

[RotationSlimWang]

I didn't hear that, actually--you're full of shit.

[BlackSwan]

I take it that you're being a dickhead? Good job.

i take it that you think people here are so out of the loop and you are so on top of it that this is going to be news to us... all of this info was posted in this same thread over 3 weeks ago.

Wow, I must have missed it. Not trying to be the cool guy or anything just trying to put it out there for people that may be interested. Seriously though... no way I could be as cool as you. Look at all the shows you're going to! Wow, that's impressive!

[4Ransom]

I think they said they are only honoring 1 band the Who which means that Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, and the Flaming Lips will do covers. There's a rumor Ozzy might perform.

I wouldn't pay to see it live. I'd wait for VH1 to show it so I could fast forward.I don't want to pay to be a seat filler.

The bands being honored don't always perform.

the who is actually performing, this is from vh1.com:

"Expect the performances at this year’s Rock Honors to be on the physical side. When you’re saluting a band like the Who, you’ve gotta bring plenty of whomp to the table. So it makes sense that Pearl Jam, the Foo Fighters, and the Flaming Lips are three of the acts slated to put a spin on the veteran Brit band’s songbook. Each of them have honed their gargantuan sound, stressing passion at every turn. Eddie Vedder and his brood have actually made quite a dent with their mighty cover of “Love, Reign O’er Me,” from the Who’s Quadrophenia disc. Of course the Who will be playing a sizable chunk of their own music at the show, too. This is the first Rock Honors show to celebrate one band."

hmm, im skeptical since this is a tv taping, but man im tempted to go to this. i got a presale email from the ten club. i would haev to buy the cheapest seats though, which might suck. anybody been to this place? how is it? is it pretty big or what?

you better watch your back supre. somebody is trying to take over your spot as official board asshole.

[uscjeff]

If Best Buy is a tour sponsor which it looks like they are they should have good seats

Somebody on Sonicliving posted the following link to an audio recording of Jamie Lidell's entire show at Bimbos from 5/28/08:

http://tandjam.wordpress.com/

The recording is from a fan in the audience and it is pretty good, you can either download it in FLAC or MP3 format.

[bmack86]

FUCKING AWESOME!!!

[ghettojournalist]

yay. Melvins in SB!

[amyzzz]

I was kidding. I like the Radiohead shirts, at least from the pictures I saw. And I probably won't be going to Coldplay this year.

[sbessiso]

Yeah it's nice to see they'll be playing the SoCo free show in Madison a few days before my birthday, might have to jet up there like last year. (Sorry, Salah)

fuck it, my friends and I are gunna try to hit ATL

That's good the who is performing. These TV show tapings always let me down. One of 5 things always seems to happen.

1. One of the best artists doesn't show.
2. One of the artists decides to lip sync.
3. The director is extra anal and has to keep retaking every song and lame celebrity introduction 5000 times.
4. The stage manager keeps screaming at us because he says we aren't fake excited enough.
5. You get stuck in limited view seats because some of the crew, camera, or some other stage production equipment is in your way.

Pauley Pavilion is pretty big, It's a basketball stadium.

[suprefan]

Pauley isnt THAT big, its not like staple Centers big, but yeah, decent size basketball arena. Think Ipayone center, or so.

[woogie846]

What's the verdict; is it worth going to?

Maybe this means that the Flaming Lips will add an LA show over the summer.

[idrive1life]

Franz Ferdinand are doing a secret gig on Monday for 150 people in London. Now i just need to find out how to get a ticket.

Wow. I don't care about all those future shit gigs here in the states now. I'm moving to Europe tomorrow. (lol - yeah, sigh)

sonofhal,

Yeah, we expect a comprehensive report/review.
