Upcoming Shows

[suprefan]

Loud? It had to be loud right?

[BlackSwan]

Okay, so Chris Cornell with Timbaland at HOB Sunset 10/25.

yea, it's kinda confusing.

[SoulDischarge]

Hometown Black Keys show on October 11th! And Helios Creed/Chrome on Monday. At least some bands still play Ohio.

[rage patton]

Loud? It had to be loud right?

Oh yes. It wasn't as loud as when they were opening for Holy Fuck... but loud nonetheless. My ears were ringing all last night, but they were fine this morning.

[suprefan]

One day, the ringing wont stop......

[sbessiso]

Hometown Black Keys show on October 11th! And Helios Creed/Chrome on Monday. At least some bands still play Ohio.

I am so jealous. That's going to be an amazing show

[paulb]

One day, the ringing wont stop......

only show ive been to where I left and my ears were ringing after and during the next day was Gogol Bordello at the Metro in Chicago.... that show was insane.... and I couldnt hear shit after it.... layin in bed with my girlfriend, shed say something, id be like 'what!?'

[bmack86]

APTBS are playing the Troubadour on October 4th. I haven't been there in almost a year, so it'll be an awesome reason to go back.

[woogie846]

Beck added another show at Club Nokia.

[Backwater]

Okay, so Chris Cornell with Timbaland at HOB Sunset 10/25.

God fucking Lord, and I used to actually kind of like Soundgarden ...

[bballarl]

Once this album fails, Chris Cornell will probably realize that it would be in his best interest to reunite Soundgarden and remind people of his talent.

[MarkO]

Can't come soon enough.

[Backwater]

Audioslave was a really terrible idea, but this tops every stupid thing he's ever done.

[luckyface]

Honestly, at this point I don't even know if I want a Soundgarden reunion. Who knows what he will do to the classics? I heard Superunknown on the radio on the way home today, and it really is unbelievable to think that Cornell is responsible for such great work when you look at what he has become.

[woogie846]

I'm gonna try to get tickets for Beck's Sunday show.

[sbessiso]

Good Luck! It shouldnt be very hard though

[suprefan]

Pre sale are still up for the sunday show. I checked randomly and they came up. password if KROQGUILT


Good Luck! It shouldnt be very hard though

Well considering its a 2,000 person venue, in hhis homewotn, where he just sol dout a 17,000 capacity venue, do the math on how tough it could be to get tickets.... If you lived in this town, you wouldnt be able to get into s**t cause thigns sell out so fast sometimes. But then again, if you did live here, you would be preoccupying yourself with trying to stalk and rape beck.

[Ardentbiscuit]

I went to see Pacha Massive + Federico Auble with Natalia Clavier at the Ford Amphitheater. Great show. I don't know why they don't do more shows there, such a great place. Thinking back the last show I saw there was Blur with Whale. That's how long it's been since I've seem a show there!

I got a flyer for the after party at Gallery Ten.

Looked good,,,,

Money Mark

Jerry Quickly (Performing live)

Plus Dj Sets by:

Gil Cerezo (Kinky)

Nova (Pacha Massive)

Mexican Dubwiser

Guy Griffins

I was so tired I went home though. :(

[woogie846]

Hooray! I got tickets for Beck!

[suprefan]

So what are they? Theres no seating chart or anything. Floor? Seats?

[sbessiso]

Hooray! I got tickets for Beck!

:afu

FUCK YEAH

[woogie846]

So what are they? Theres no seating chart or anything. Floor? Seats?

I got the $40 tickets, so I would guess that I got seats.

[Ardentbiscuit]

So it's Ga seating?

[thedevious]

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r285/ardentbiscuit/teazfr.jpg
http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r285/ardentbiscuit/teazbk.jpg

Ugh, it's kind of a hessian lineup. D.I.M. and shadow dancer only reasons to go so far.

[woogie846]

So it's Ga seating?

Yeah I think so. I'm pretty sure it's the same kind of set up as the Fonda.

[Ardentbiscuit]

So I went to Jack's third show today. It was fun, a few surprises...

2 cover bands played to start the day out, Fast Times and Queen Nation.

The Lowrider band played as a surprise. Basically only 1 original member is currently in the band named war that is touring right now. The Lowrider band is the the rest of the surviving members who formed this band because they legally can't use the name war.

I didn't realize that Steve Stevens was touring again with Idol. That was awesome! I need to pay more attention.

All in All I had fun...

If you didn't know the other bands playing were Devo (awesome of course), Blondie, Reo Speedwagon, Twisted Sister and the psychedelic furs.

Dee Snider was quite hilarious.

[paulb]

Jack's what?

[suprefan]

Jack's what?

Radio station here called Jack FM. So they have a show just like KROQ Weenie Roast. so this is the 3rd year running, thus why its called Jacks third show.

[rage patton]

Oh also, I forgot, this group called Sian Alice Group opened up for APTBS. They were really good. Very mellow music, but had very intense periods. They kind of reminded me of Spiritualized at points. I think a lot of people here would like them. I downloaded their album and they are great to listen to while studying.

[Ardentbiscuit]

So which night of beck is the grand opening? 9th, 10th or both? I mean they said 10th was the grand opening and then added a night earlier...

[idrive1life]

The Faint - 10/22 & 10/23
NIN - 10/28 & 10/29

[sbessiso]

ooh, you get the faint a couple days before me. I'm sooo psyched. I've been dying to see them since 10th grade!

[idrive1life]

yeah, it'll be my first the faint shows too. not sure if i'm gonna make it to the 10/22 show though.

[sbessiso]

it's ambitious sure, but having only one faint show wont' kill you ;) the venue theyre playing here is ridiculously small, it's going to be such an epic party

[tessalasset]

[boarderwoozel3]

Hmmmmmm... Seattle on Halloween eh? I think Ghostland is opening for them up here.

[boarderwoozel3]

Anywho, tonight I've got Cold War Kids, excited.

[Geno_guerrero]

I want to go to that Crystal Method show at ruby sky,
MBV tomorrow at that Concourse...

[boarderwoozel3]

Celebrities in Vancouver is a gay club. I didn't know the Crystal Method got down like that. But I can see a lot of DJs being gay, the lifestyle fits. Just look at Tiesto.

[betao]

We can expect more dates from TCM, they're missing alot of markets.

But LIVE!

when was the last time they performed live?

[rage patton]

Hmmmmmm... Seattle on Halloween eh? I think Ghostland is opening for them up here.

Umm... I don't think so. But Ghostland are are playing the WaMu theatre on New Years Eve. I am going and it is going to kick ass. I expect to see you there.

Celebrities has been getting some big name acts lately. Besides Crystal Method, MSTRKRFT and Deadmau5 are comming soon. Also, Tiesto played there are part of his small club tour.

I got my 31sts all kinds of mixed up there.

As for Tiesto, the evidence mounts... although I can't hate too much as I have been in Celebrities before...

[boarderwoozel3]

I need to quit this and walk down the hill to Cold War Kids @ the Showbox. I love how walkable the downtown venues in Seattle are!

[JSam67]

boarderwoozel, if your signature read Bowie, Talking Heads & Gorillaz/Massive Attack, I'm confident we'd be best friends.

Back-to-back Beck in 2.5 days!!

[indietron]

Seriously, when will Crystal Method ever play live again?? Just watching their coachella performance gives me goosebumps.

[boarderwoozel3]

boarderwoozel, if your signature read Bowie, Talking Heads & Gorillaz/Massive Attack, I'm confident we'd be best friends.

Back-to-back Beck in 2.5 days!!

Yikes! The Smiths or Massive Attack/Gorillaz?!?!?! I hope I never really have to make that call. Actually, this is no question, the Smiths are awesome but seeing Massive Attack & Gorillaz back to back would be a uniquely Coachella event. Its got to be the latter.

[boarderwoozel3]

Cold War Kids are absolutely brilliant in a small space. I don't want to spoil it for people later in the tour but suffice it to say I CAN'T WAIT for my next chance to see them. All of their material, new and old, sounded extremely tight. So much fun.

Honestly, with this new album they could fully play Coachella 09. The set lasted an hour and fifteen minutes and played mostly new stuff. Totally different from what we got at Coach 08, but just as good if not better. AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH they were so good!!!!!

[JSam67]

I don't care for their preachy ways, but CWK pulled off a pretty good show when I saw them last year. Granted, it was free, and right before the FLips, but I still enjoyed it.

And yeah BW, I'm glad you're feeling the Gorillaz --> Massive Attack too. Talking Heads is the best possible headliner though, I will feel that way until David Byrne starts to sound like Roger Waters.

[boarderwoozel3]

Sitting here envisioning Talking Heads taking the main stage is literally making me a bit giddy. Bowie would do the same thing. If they were both at Coach 09, upon that announcement the internet as a whole would probably crash based on the hits at coachella.com. And I may become an early 20's cardiac arrest victim. Fuck it. I'll take a super mild heart attack for the team if it means getting Bowie & Talking Heads at the same Coachella. (But it would have to be a super mild heart attack with no side effect, more like bad chest congestion)

[Boourns]

Either one playing would make the fest EPIC.

[JSam67]

I was very happy to see Portishead on last year's poster, but TH or Bowie (or both!) would set off a whole new level of Coachella excitement for me.

Y'know, if they were both there, I'd bet it would draw in Arcade Fire to perform too, Bowie and Byrne love those Canadians.

[Boourns]

Oh hell yes. Seriously missing that fiery arcade.

[Cdubby]

MBV tomorrow night......................

[sbessiso]

Back-to-back Beck in 2.5 days!!

[TonyWonder]

Cut Copy and The Presets tonight! should be a fun show.


Also, Ghostland just announced a second show on 10/10 at HOB if any Dallas peeps couldn't get tickets for the one on 10/11.

[chiapet]

If anyone would like a ticket for Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip in SF (Cafe du Nord) tomorrow, PM me. I decided to go see James instead.

THE FRATELLIS via Pollstar:

Scottish rockers The Fratellis have been forced to pull the remaining shows of their U.S. tour in support of latest release, Here We Stand.
"Due to a bereavement, The Fratellis have had to return to Scotland and therefore cancel the remaining five dates of their current U.S. tour," the band said in a message to fans.
"We apologize whole-heartedly to our American fans who have bought tickets for the shows this week."
Affected shows include tonight's show at The Loft at Center Stage in Atlanta, October 1 at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, N.C., October 2 at 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., October 3 at Orpheum Theatre in Boston and October 4 at Webster Theatre in Hartford, Conn.
Ticketholders should check with point of purchase for refund info.

[JSam67]

My mind immediately went to Stereolab which would not be big enough to justify a "hint" :)

Is anyone else seeing them on their tour that starts today? I keep forgetting about it with Beck and MMJ looming, but I'm pretty excited to finally see Stereolab, too.

Anyone have the dates for the new Nightwatchman tour. I want to know what date they are hitting the El Rey, thanks.

[dorkfish]

really?
The (International) Noise Conspiracy is also playing SF at Bottom of the Hill on 11/16 headlining, and besides that TBS date on 11/13, they have another to-be-announced show planned for 11/14, so I'm betting that's another LA date.

from billboard
Jay-Z will play two free concerts this weekend in support of voter registration and the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama for the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

The first show is set for Saturday (Oct. 4) at Detroit's Cobo Arena. Jay-Z will play Miami's Bayfront Park Amphitheatre the following day. Voter registration for the upcoming election ends Monday.

In Michigan, attendees 18 years and older can obtain tickets at a variety of Obama campaign offices; information is available here. For ticket pickup procedures for the Miami show, click here.

Jay-Z is the latest high-profile artist to sign on for Obama benefits. Yesterday, Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel announced an Oct. 16 fundraiser at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom.

Bayfront is next to Bicentennial Park. Wish I could go down there :(

How far is the Glasshouse in Pomona from LA?

What part of LA are you talking about? It's quite large

[paulb]

um...lets go, North Hollywood.

[BlackSwan]

Jamie Lidell at the Fillmore was killer last night, but the kinda surprise of the night was the amazing opening performance of Janelle Monae. I had listen to her EP and really liked it, but was even more impressed when her performance matched the character of her album. Great stage presence, beautiful voice and super nice in person. She got her start with Outkast and if you haven't heard of her yet, check out Metropolis Suite I of IV: The Chase... it's awesome.

[bmack86]

Lidell have his band still? Did they do the song with the wind instrument that looks insane and sounds even more so and might be a vocoder sort of thing but maybe not?

[chiapet]

Is anyone else seeing them on their tour that starts today? I keep forgetting about it with Beck and MMJ looming, but I'm pretty excited to finally see Stereolab, too.

Yup! They're in SF on the 22nd.

[BlackSwan]

Lidell have his band still? Did they do the song with the wind instrument that looks insane and sounds even more so and might be a vocoder sort of thing but maybe not?

Ya, he had the same band that was with him at Lolla. They rocked out the weird vocoder thing and Jamie and him did the back and forth where Jamie would sing and then he would match it and embellish with the vocoder-esque instrument.

[bmack86]

that thing is so cool. It was my favorite part of the show when I saw him earlier this year.

[orbit]

lidell was kinda disappointing when i saw hin live. the show is entertaining, but i miss so much his supercollider stuff.

[suprefan]

um...lets go, North Hollywood.

No traffic, you can get there in 40 minutes.

EDIT: Fuck. I thought you were talking about CSS. Fuck the Night Watchmen

[paulb]

No traffic, you can get there in 40 minutes.

Thanks man... now to try and convince the girlfriend....

[paulb]

lol, i was wondering what you meant by 'them'

[eudaemonia]

saw half of his set at acl. never again.

I only caught a bit of it from afar at the fest, and thought it best to skip it and hope his aftershow would be better. It wasn't... and I'm sure it didn't help that he seemed to have started 30 minutes later than I had hoped. :nono

[CalmerThanYou]

GOGOL BORDELLO TOMORROW: Who's gonna be at the grove show in anaheim?

[Sushov23]

I am(Thanks Feather).

[IdiotequeThom]

Sigur Ros tonight!!!

[CalmerThanYou]

I am(Thanks Feather).

she gave you tix? that slut!

[boarderwoozel3]

Next show is Gogol 10/8. Yay!

[BlackSwan]

Next up is Benny Benassi this Saturday... sold my tickets for Cut Copy AND David Byrne... regretting it a lil bit.

[rage patton]

So I am pretty sure I am going to see Monotonix tonight. I heard quite regularly they don't actually perform their set in the club... they perform outside. They are opening up for the Silver Jews, but I have never heard them. So if I can watch Monotonix for free in the street, then I will do that and go home early. But if I have to pay for admission... I might as well stay for the Silver Jews too.

Next show is Gogol 10/8. Yay!

I thought the Seattle show was October 9? Are you going to come up to Vancouver for their 2 night stand at the Commodore?

[Sushov23]

she gave you tix? that slut!

I bought them from her.

[CalmerThanYou]

I bought them from her.

hehe, kidding. i love feather

[Ardentbiscuit]

Ticketmaster much?

10/29 it looks like. 10/30 is the glasshouse and halloween is booked already at the el rey.

Nightwatchman is playing El Rey on Halloween? What happened to the Roky Erikson with the black angels at the El Rey on Halloween?

Honestly I hate looking in ticketmaster because they enter artists mutiple times with different dates under each entry and then you have to click each one it's really annoying.

Nightwatchman alone has 7 entries all with different dates.

[boarderwoozel3]

I thought the Seattle show was October 9? Are you going to come up to Vancouver for their 2 night stand at the Commodore?

Damn. It is the 9th... Gogol on 10/9. Yay!

I'm not planning on coming up to Vancouver but who knows. Thats over the weekend right?

[Ardentbiscuit]

For me the glass house would be a great venue if I was under age because they serve no alcohol. And that area they call the Arts Colony that it is in has lost almost every cool place that I liked there (eg. Haven Coffee house, retro video arcade, etc.).

For me driving the 50 miles isn't worth it unless it's somebody I really want to see.

[rage patton]

Anyone by chance in Vancouver tonight?

Damn. It is the 9th... Gogol on 10/9. Yay!

I'm not planning on coming up to Vancouver but who knows. Thats over the weekend right?

Yeah, its a Friday and Saturday. I was considering going down to Seattle to see the show on the 9th... but I can't swing it. The two Commodore shows are going to be insane though man.

[whynotsmile99]

[JSam67]

I feel the same way Hunter. Plus I hate the cold.

But I do get to finally see Beck tonight and tomorrow night!

[rage patton]

Oh my god. Oh my god. Everyone... go see Monotonix NOW. They seriously just kicked soo much ass in Vancouver it is kind of rediculous. I would explain what happened, but word can't do their live show justice. Neither can picture nor video... but I will upload my pictures and post em here tomorrow. All I have to say is that if ANY of you have a chance to see Monotonix, TAKE IT!

[suprefan]

You really dont know how to read what I said huh? I said ''10/29 it looks like'' in regards to your ''when is nightwatchman playing the el rey?'' question. I gave reasons as to why, but you think its halloween.



Why dont you search by venue on TM then? youll find it a lot faster if you know where somebody is playing.

[Sushov23]

hey supre, you going to Detour?

[suprefan]

You trying to stalk me?

[Sushov23]

just asking, don't make yourself feel special so you can sleep at night homie.

saw 'em play out in the street in seattle the other day. twas nuts. good times...

[rage patton]

saw 'em play out in the street in seattle the other day. twas nuts. good times...

Haha you passed them doing that eh? It also attracted quite the crowd of bystanders in Vancouver tonight. Thats how the ended the show. The lead singer and drummer ran outside with the snare, then the guitarist followed, as did the rest of the crowd. They passed out drum sticks and everyone was drumming on random objects outside... like bikes, lightposts and billboards. The lead singer climbed up a construction block and jumped into the crowd and was crowdsurfed inside. That was the end of the show.
The antics inside were crazy though. The band started off on the floor... as usual. But after their first song, they thought the crowd was too far back, so they pulled all their stuff to the middle of the floor. On the third song, they took the bass drum off, stuck it on the bar, and the guitarist played guitar on the bar, while also doing the bassdrum. Meanwhile, the lead singer is picking up people from the crowd... clibing on the outside of the belcony and throwing trash cans around. After this, they repositioned their equiptment where people normally sit to drink. I grabbed the drummer cymbals for him, and he said thanks and gave me a high five.
As I said... this show must be experienced.

[paulb]

lol, that would be crazy to see at Richards.... how did SilverJews compair?

[Sushov23]

I want to see Monotonix live after everything I've heard about the live show. My only problem is I think their music kinda sucks. I can see that it could be better live though.

[paulb]

do u like Fugazi?

[Sushov23]

Somewhat, why?

[paulb]

Monotonix give me that kinda vibe as Fugazi do...

[Sushov23]

I want to know how the Silver Jews did. I wanted to catch the show in SD but I couldn't make it. Fucking Cali and our earthquakes. It was a mild one though.

[rage patton]

I want to see Monotonix live after everything I've heard about the live show. My only problem is I think their music kinda sucks. I can see that it could be better live though.

The live show is 8374893478149 times better than their album.

lol, that would be crazy to see at Richards.... how did SilverJews compair?

Oh right. Silver Jews played... haha. No, they were pretty good. I stayed for about an hour. They had some pretty damn good songs. Others were meh. The female bassist had an excellent voice. But after an hour I had enough.

[tubescape]

If anyone would like a ticket for Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip in SF (Cafe du Nord) tomorrow, PM me. I decided to go see James instead.

Edited: weird p-i-n-g gets edited out of posts. If anyone wants a ticket, **** me. :D

I would just like to give a little shout out and thanks to Chiapet for the ticket hook-up yesterday to see dan le sac vs. Scroobius Pip. It was the first time I actually met a board member in person. I haven't been to a hip-hop gig in awhile and Scroobius certainly threw down. That was my first time inside Cafe du Nord, but I'll definitely be going back. Small, intimate venue and the band is right in your face. Thanks again Chia, you rock!

the nightwatchmen date at the el rey is being moved to later in the year, fyi.

[Sonicifyouwantit]

I take it you are not living in Vancouver anymore...

I should move to Cali to be near all the fun stuff :(

yeah you probably should

[Boourns]

Tessa, what do you think of last night's Siggy Rosey setlist?

[Sonicifyouwantit]

Sigur Ros tonight! very happy. sec a 11th row

Ya i am.... for one more year...

[BlackSwan]

The Killers are playing at the Warfield on 10/21, but it's sold out already.

[suprefan]

Yeah, they also are playing HOb Vegas, and Hammerstein, all sold out. No L.a. Date which is weird.

[BlackSwan]

That's because... SF>LA

[IdiotequeThom]

Mars volta tonight! Anyone else going?

[mvanwinkle]

That's because... SF>LA

Is that not a known fact?

[Jon Blazed]

I'm passing on the Vegas gig.







Thought you might like to know.

[fikus222]

MSTRKRFT tonight at the Showbox. They should have a new show since I saw them at BFD and the afterparty. If not, I am sure it will still be fundiddlydun.

[Backwater]

Is that not a known fact?

I wouldn't call it a fact. SF has more hipsters.

[fikus222]

How often to you hear a band say how happy they are to be in LA and that LA has the best crowds? Whereas, you hear this quite frequently in the SF Bay Area, for instance, even Trent Reznor recently told us how much he enjoyed playing for us.

Plus, the hipsters in SF are harmless.

[bmack86]

I just find it funny that San Francisco people get so defensive about their area. They always have to talk about how great it is and how much LA sucks.

[chiapet]

A lot about LA does suck though. :) (And I'm not one of those who goes around saying LA sucks, I actually like *visiting* LA a lot).

When I talk about how great SF is, too, I clearly only mean city limits. The bay area, blegh. LA has better suburbs.

[fikus222]

I just find it funny that San Francisco people get so defensive about their area. They always have to talk about how great it is and how much LA sucks.

Actually, during the months prior to our move from the SF Bay Area my wife and I had become increasingly disappointed with the scene there.

So far (tonight is our 2nd show) we have been pleased with the Seattle scene, surprisingly, people are a bit smellier up here ;)

oh now that's highly desirable. lol.

[fikus222]

You best not be knocking Oakland.

Yeah, we can't figure out why more people smell up here.

[IdiotequeThom]

Back from Mars Volta. Great show but WAAAY too short. I was expecting another hour out of them... (sigh)

setlist:
Drunkship of Lanterns
Ilyena

Meccamputechture
Goliath

i could see how people who are from san francisco could get defensive... some of them are douches. LA's got plenty of those too.


Yeah, we can't figure out why more people smell up here.

less showers. and welcome back, this is the first time i saw one of your posts.

What are you upset about? That is 8 songs, so you got a 4 hour show.

[RotationSlimWang]

I don't understand how the problem with a Mars Volta show could possibly be that they didn't suck for long enough

[rage patton]

That is a fucking horrible Mars Volta set list. Not as bad as the Sasquatch set list... but still. Ugh. That depresses me.

I was unaware there are eight different ways to masturbate with a guitar. Or is it just the same way repeated eight times?

[bballarl]

The Mars Volta really seemed like they had potential.

[wmgaretjax]

The Mars Volta really seemed like they had potential.

Their first album is incredible.

And Roberto, there are so many ways to masturbate with a guitar... Hell, there are at least 4 in metal alone...

[rage patton]

Tremulant EP, De-Loused and Francis the Mute are all amazing. But yes, De-Loused certainly is something quite incredible. There are a couple songs I can stomach on Amputechture... but Goliath is garbage.

[wmgaretjax]

I like Frances the Mute, but it could use some serious editing (L'via and Cassandra Gemini especially).

I've hated everything since that.

[Sushov23]

at least they played the widow. I am really looking forward to them on saturday, but if that is how is going to be, I should lower expectations A LOT. The show back in January I saw at SOMA was amazing.

[Sonicifyouwantit]

David Byrne tonight, 6th row!

[CalmerThanYou]

I don't understand how the problem with a Mars Volta show could possibly be that they didn't suck for long enough

i dont understand how you can always try to piss in everyones cheerios

They'll probably fill their time slot at Detour. I was at the SOMA show in January too; that show was MUCH better than this one. It was still great but they need to start playing older songs again.

[Backwater]

Nick Cave is tearing it up on Conan right now

[gmoneyak]

Sweet...I got Murs next Wednesday for $12 in a really small lounge.

I am seeing both Jamie Lidell and dan le sac vs. Scroobius Pip tonight. I am stoked.

Still going to both Rancid/The Aquabats and Gogol Bordello @ Detour tonight?

[Boourns]

Josh, since you missed the My Bloody Valentine tour, check out Asobi Seksu this month. Tickets are so hella cheap and it's the closest you'll get anytime soon, if ever. Not that they're that much like MBV, but yay for swirling guitar noise mixed with really good pop vocals :)

[rage patton]

I was thinking about it... then I remembered I am seeing Yelle that night. Sorry.

[chiapet]

Dammit Boouns, you just cost me like $80. You keep posting about Asobi Seksu which is on the same night as Crystal Castles (and I'd already purchased a ticket for that).

I've just bought a ticket for the Crystal Castles show the night before, and the Asobi Seksu show at Rickshaw Stop. And while I was on the site noticed Laika & the Cosmonauts are playing there too. And bought my Mercury Rev tickets.

Blah. I mean. Yay.

[Boourns]

I wish Crystal Castles would do a solo show here.

[paulb]

Dan Le Sac tonight... thats gonna be fun.... I dont know how it will compair to the excellentness of Mstrkrft last night... but 2 days, 2 good concerts, cant beat that.

[woogie846]

I am seeing both Jamie Lidell and dan le sac vs. Scroobius Pip tonight. I am stoked.



Still going to both Rancid/The Aquabats and Gogol Bordello @ Detour tonight?

Yeah, I hope I can find the energy to do it though. I just got in from a 15 hour train ride this morning.

[tessalasset]

So I just got back from Swell Season at the Open Air Theatre in San Diego. That was my seventh time seeing them in a year and a half, and it was by far the best show I've ever seen of theirs. Fucking ridiculous. The crowd was totally in to it - after a while Glen commented about how this was supposed to be a big arena rock show for them and it felt more like he was just hanging out with us. Everyone was super respectful (minus one guy who yelled at Glen to stop telling an intro story and just play the song, and ended up getting ridiculed for the rest of the show) and the band played a TON of new songs. Almost all of the Frames were there. I love how Swell Season shows now are essentially Frames shows featuring Marketa Irglova. One of their new songs nearly brought me to tears (five-part harmony), and I was simply amazed that I could still get chills after seeing them so many times. And Iron and Wine was better than I could have imagined. He left the stage to a full standing ovation. I am beyond excited for the Greek show tonight. If anyone here is going - you are in for a HUGE fucking treat.

Dan Le Sac was very fun tonight...very intimate and in touch with the audience... met Scroobius Pip, and got a photo of him, i, rage patton and his girlfriend...twas cool. We had the Coachella, just a fan, thing goin on... I asked him if there was any chance they'll be back at Coachella next year, he said " if they invite us back, we will 100% be there"

[tessalasset]

Just got back from Swell Season at the Greek. Just as good as last night. Maybe even better, actually. They played a longer set. Glen played Say It To Me Now acoustic. Like...unplugged acoustic. Just walked out to the edge of the stage at the fucking GREEK and belted it out for everyone up at the top of section C. It was amazing. The first time he ever did that was at the El Rey show last year when his cord broke so he decided to just go for it without amplification. It's nice to see he's keeping that around cause it makes it fucking unreal. They did a lot of new ones again, switched up the order, Marketa sang the entire version of "The Hill" (the one in Once where she's sitting at the piano and breaks down in tears halfway through), and at the end of the show, they brough out the fucking dude who wrote the songs in Jungle Book and Mary Poppins, and he sat down at the piano and sang Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious with them. It was probably the biggest "what the fuck?" moment of my entire life. The whole band just kinda sat there in awe of him. The crowd was pretty rad again. Totally sold out. A few people gave him shit again for his stories (they did last night too) and after a while he kinda took it personally and shut up, but by the end of the show everything was just going so right that they were floored. I had pit tickets and was fully expecting to stand for the entire show, and was pleasantly surprised to see seats set down for us. I ended up getting front row, about eight seats off from center. Pretty rad.

I got a set list too for this show. Here's what they played, more or less.

Say It To Me Now (with PA) - he ended up playing this way further down the set, and they actually started off with Into the Mystic
Falling Slowly
The Moon
When Your Mind's Made Up
This Low
I Have Loved You Wrong*
Glen Section !!! (this was comprised of Say It To Me Now, Astralweeks by Van Morrison, and Back Broke*)
Happiness*
In These Arms*
Low Rising*
Lies

[Jon Blazed]

Last night I had an all night dance party on Freemont Street, here in Las Vegas. They had this mini festival called X-Fest. The line-up was sketchy as hell but I am so glad I went. Imagine Street Scene on Freemont Street. I saw a dj set by Biz Markie underneath a rotating glass slipper (not really glass but an old strip sign). I also saw Pepper rip it up in the middle of the street while it was raining. Every stage had 2 strippers dancing during the sets. We also saw Stevie B. Thats right mutha fuckers!!! Spring Love...

[paulb]

did Biz play Benny and the Jets?

[bmack86]

The Mae Shi are playing the Smell on Saturday. It's an Obama benefit, and I think they'll have at least one other notable act on the lineup, based on the price (10 bucks)

[Ardentbiscuit]

This was the X Fest. I didn't go..

I really hope you saw Vanilla Ice.

[paulb]

Sigur Ros on tuesday!!!

[woogie846]

Wow, Vanilla Ice is billed really low.

[fikus222]

MSTRKRFT's Showbox Market show was good the other night. They have mixed up their set somewhat. Though, they weren't passing around the Crown ; )

Enjoyed seeing the Goldrush Tour last night at the Showbox Sodo. We got there in time for Alice Smith, she's very chill w/ a great voice and sings well with the bluesy guitarist. Mates of State were great, I was hoping that the extra band members would be there too and they were, so that was a good surprise. Santogold was coolio and very fun, she said that she had been in town for two days and was really enjoying Seattle. She played a Kinks cover that I don't remember hearing at BFD. Good stuff.

Sigur Ros tonight from the front row at the Benaroya Hall!!!

[bmack86]

Next sunday is going to be amazing.
No Age, David Scott Johnson, The Tyde and others are doing a cancer benefit at the Echoplex, which starts at 4 PM.
After that, Killdozer is playing upstairs at the Echo, starting at 10.

I am so goddamn ready.

[bmack86]

Also, Vic Chestnutt and Elf Power are playing the Echoplex on November 10th. That should be awesome as well. i love live music in LA.

[woogie846]

Andrew Bird is playing the Largo the 19th and 20th of this month.

Bmack did you know about the Lykke Li(sp) Grand Ole Party, Mae Shi show at the el rey theater? or is the Mae Shi just making shit up about playing that show, and grand ole party? cause I am SERIOUSLY thinking about this show now if it's true.

[tessalasset]

Unless something changed in the one day I was on vacation (Friday), it's only Lykke Li playing at the El Rey (November 3rd, with fucking awesome opening act Friendly Fires).

[Sushov23]

Cause if you go to The Mae Shi's myspace they have a date on there with Lykke Li, it says NME presents. Can you find out for me? that can decide pretty much if I am going to this show.

[aeroplanee]

Friendly fire are still playing.

4 bands like that in a smallish venue seems a little bit of an overkill too me.

im pretty sure the show was on its way to sell out sans the mae shi or grand ole party.

i know that they made it an NME Presents show on thursday, but didn't tell me anything about any additions to the lineup. who knows. maybe there will be stuff for me to update when i get to work tomorrow. the show is going to sell out super soon anyways.

that is why I want to know. So I can buy two tickets, if the Mae Shi, and GOP are playing. How close is it to selling out? 80? 90? percent?

Got back from the Liz Phair Exile in Guyville show at the troubador. show was great, she was talkative and appreciative, but more into actually sounding good than last time I saw her. first time at the venue, I loved it. also, Morrissey was there up in the VIP balcony, no one seemed to notice him, so that was cool.

[Ardentbiscuit]

So the word is that the Deadmau5 show at HOB Anaheim was never confirmed and my not happen.

[rage patton]

Jamie Lidell and dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip were both excellent on Saturday.

Jamie Lidell is SO much fun live. He is great performer and his back up band is full of incredibly talented musicians. "Another Day" may be one of the greatest songs ever.
dan le sac vs. Scroobius Pip were great too. I met Scroobius Pip and myself, Paulb and my girlfriend got a picture with him. We brought out Scroobius Pip Coachella fans with us and he was impressed he brought them.
I was suposed to go to the Horrorpops tonight, but didn't make it. Oh well, another time. Sigur Ros on Tuesday and 2 Gogol shows this weekend. YEEEEEEEEEEE!

I'm still healing from Beck. My brain may never be the same

I meant to grab my Pip fan when I went here, but totally forgot. That would have been cool. Still got to meet him and all too, so it was okay.
