[gmoneyak]

Totally fuckin' random, but..

Margot & The Nuclear So and So's were fantastic Saturday night. I'm so glad I decided to check them out on an incredibly small stage here in Reno. Awesome show.

[Sushov23]

New Coldplay show Nov. 25th at Honda Center

there is a good chance I'm going to this. Anyone know is supposed to open this leg of the tour?

[uscjeff]

there is a good chance I'm going to this. Anyone know is supposed to open this leg of the tour?

Id like to know too. Show was so expensive at the Forum but actually worth it

[sbessiso]

By the way, I snagged a ticket to Jay-Z's free show today in downtown Miami like an hour before it was supposed to start. I haul ass over and the second I get there they make the announcement that the show is canceled. For a solid hour I thought I was going to see Jay-Z for free, but he pulled a fucking Kanye on us

[paulb]

that sucks...

[shakermaker113]

he pulled a what?

[Down Rodeo]

Going to see Opeth and High on Fire tonight. Should be brutal.

[hawkingvsreeve]

DENALI




10/11 @ Echoplex

[bmack86]

Going to see Opeth and High on Fire tonight. Should be brutal.

And Baroness as well, I believe. Report back on how High on Fire and Baroness are. I like Opeth as well, so if you wanna tell me about them, I'd be happy.

[suprefan]

DENALI




10/11 @ Echoplex

Wait what? when did this get added?


edit: weird, ok, yeah see it, hmmm.





Oh sushov, itll be a s**t band, so you will have to deal with that for Coldplay.

[ThomThom]

Oh sushov, itll be a s**t band, so you will have to deal with that for Coldplay.

How do you know it will be a s**t band Chris?

[uscjeff]

Has anyone driven by the Palladium recently? It looks nowhere near ready to reopen. I do not know how Jay-z is going to play there next week

[bmack86]

yeah, I was by it a few weeks ago and it looked hollowed out. I'd be amazed if they open in time.

[Sushov23]

How do you know it will be a s**t band Chris?

seriously. so far it's been great acts opening. Shearwater, Santogold, and I think Duffy is opening some dates(ok duffy is a bit questionable but still decent). Also I just realized that the Hold Steady is playing the same day as the wiltern DAMN, that shit sucks.

[Sushov23]

SCORE. The Mae Shi, Friendly Fires, Lykke Li, and FUCKING GRAND OLE PARTY are all playing. WOW, only 19 bucks plus ticketbastard fees. I'm fucking going now. YES YES YES YES YES YES.

[bmack86]

wow, I may have to go to that as well. Team Shi.

[Sushov23]

bmack the only option for tickets is ticketmaster right?

[bmack86]

I believe so, but Tessa or Dani can probably clarify.

[suprefan]

Has anyone driven by the Palladium recently? It looks nowhere near ready to reopen. I do not know how Jay-z is going to play there next week

They have till tthe 14th to get it done, relax...


L.A. times wrote a nice story on it too yesterday.

[tessalasset]

You can only buy tickets in advance through ticketmaster, and this show is super close to selling out. Within the next week I'd say. You can also buy table packages up in the balcony. Email booking@theelrey.com if you're interested.

[Sushov23]

I think I am going. it comes out to 30 bucks. I would say the 4 bands are worth the 30 bucks. Now I just gotta get one or two friends to go by tomorrow or something. How many does the el Rey theatre hold? it's floor GA right?

[bmack86]

Man, you'll like the El Rey. It's a great venue, and I've seen more shows there than anywhere else in LA.

[Sushov23]

Bmack you going?

[bmack86]

Yup, I'll be there. Early too, so that I can see all four bands. That's such a cool, diverse lineup.

[Backwater]

Do you have to pay the ticketbastard charges or is there a box office where you can just pay the regular price? If so, I'm there also.

Tessa works there, so her word is bond.

You should go anyways, it's gonna be awesome. This'll be my 7th time seeing the Mae Shi this year.

[Ardentbiscuit]

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r285/ardentbiscuit/949_Bash_08-630x754.jpg

[Backwater]

The Mae Shi and these 3 others are worth $30? If I wasn't broke I'd be all over this, but I'm still considering it enough though I don't have the money. It's this or Pendulum at the Mayan.

[bmack86]

well, the Mae Shi are also playing the Smell on saturday for 10 bucks. It's an Obama benefit, and their smell shows are always fantastic, as it's their home venue.

[Backwater]

Awesome, if nothing else comes up for this Saturday, I'm for sure going because I got to Detour late and missed them. How soon do you think it will sell out?

[bmack86]

They don't sell tickets til the day of, at the door. Last time they were there, it took about 1 1/2 hours after doors. But, they will sell it out.

[mistdevil]

detour afterparty was fun, free booze till 2am great stuff.

[Backwater]

Well I'm about 90% sure I'm going then, thanks for the info

[bmack86]

It's gonna be a blast. Just know, the Smell is all ages and doesn't sell alcohol, so it's a bunch of younger, amped up kids there. The place will be hot as hell and the crowd will be really really wild.

[Backwater]

Drink before the show - check. Are there any good bars that you know of in the area, or are you too young to drink?

[bmack86]

I wouldn't recommend most of the bars in the area; it's near skid row, and the places down there are pretty vato at night. There's a club nearby, but I imagine the drinks would be pretty expensive. Usually we just bring some stuff and drink in the lot before we walk over, if we drink at all.

[Backwater]

Thanks for the tips, hope to see you there (I assume you're going.)

[bmack86]

Definitely

[Sushov23]

Awesome, if nothing else comes up for this Saturday, I'm for sure going because I got to Detour late and missed them. How soon do you think it will sell out?

Dude trust me, go to GOP and the Mae Shi. I'm now looking at this show as them headlining. Then you get Lykke Li, and Friendly fires also playing.

[Backwater]

Trust me, I really want to, I hear great things about the El Rey. I just don't have the money right now. $10 sounds much better than $30.

[Sushov23]

Yup, I'll be there. Early too, so that I can see all four bands. That's such a cool, diverse lineup.

we should meet up for drinks or something at the show. Backwater you in? come on man. 30 but it also includes Grand Ole Party, and Lykke Li.

[Backwater]

If I get a second job this week then I'm in.

[nocigarettes]

is anyone else going to the Antony and the Johnsons show oct 14 @ the walt disney concert hall

[Sushov23]

Id like to know too. Show was so expensive at the Forum but actually worth it

so sleepercar is opening for Coldplay in November so I am sure they will also play at the Honda Center. Fucking sick, I saw them at sungod back in May. They did a great job, and little by little the crowd got into it. yeah it isn't Santogold, or Shearwater but that's cool.

[bmack86]

is anyone else going to the Antony and the Johnsons show oct 14 @ the walt disney concert hall

It's between that and Wire that night. I like Antony, but Wire probably has to take precedent

[Sushov23]

So I can't get any of my friends to go with me to Lykke Li, and the rest of the awesomeness playing that night. So I'm just gonna go solo, I can't really miss this much greatness in one night(this is basically a mini-fest for me). Bmack want to meet up? are you going with any friends?

[bmack86]

I'll definitely be meeting up with Tessa, and someone'll definitely be comin with me. I'd be down to meet up.

[Sushov23]

what sucks is driving from Indio to LA, and then back. bummer.

[suprefan]

Ever driven from L.A. to SF and then back to get to work the next morning in the span of half a day? Or Vegas? Ok then.......

[sbessiso]

:rolleyes

[SoulDischarge]

The bar on Main St. right next to the back of The Smell is amazing. We did cheap ass tequila shots there and when I went into the bathroom there were a gaggle of Mexicans doing a bunch of coke that dispersed like roaches when I walked in. But bringing yr own alcohol and drinking in the car or disguising it in a soda bottle is probably a better idea.

[Backwater]

there were a gaggle of Mexicans doing a bunch of coke that dispersed like roaches when I walked in.

Hahahaha, I'll have to check this place out.

[ThomThom]

Ever driven from L.A. to SF and then back to get to work the next morning in the span of half a day? Or Vegas? Ok then.......

Chris... Stop it right NOW.

[Sushov23]

Ever driven from L.A. to SF and then back to get to work the next morning in the span of half a day? Or Vegas? Ok then.......

Actually yes I have, VEGAS. It's a bitch.

[tessalasset]

Lykke Li is fucking great live, so don't you dare miss her.

[Sonicifyouwantit]

none for a few weeks thank god. ten shows in 2 weeks...my mind is melting. can't believe I didnt lose any hearing...or did I?

next up:

Oct 18 - Under the Influence of Giants @ Troubadour
Oct 31 - Hard
Nov 3 - Mando Diao @ Troubadour
Nov 6 - Old Crow Medicine Show @ Henry Fonda Theater (I think they could perform at coachella and stagecoach Paul I'm talking to you here...make it happen!)

[Sonicifyouwantit]

Trust me, I really want to, I hear great things about the El Rey. I just don't have the money right now. $10 sounds much better than $30.

El Rey is ok, they've fixed it up recently but its not my favorite venue in town...not the worst by any means just ok. Favorite venues, Troubadour (#1) then Henry Fonda Theater

[bballarl]

Next couple of weeks look like:

10/11: The Sword @ Fonda
10/12: No Age @ Echoplex
10/12: Killdozer @ Echo
10/14: Wire @ Echoplex

Only one for sure is The Sword though. They rock so hard.

[luckyface]

This is probably it for me for the rest of the year, unless something unexpected comes up. I am considering but most likely will not attend the shows in parentheses.

10/23 - Stereolab
10/29 - The Notwist/Odd Nosdam!
(10/30 - Secret Machines)
(11/21 - Kraak & Smaak)
(11/22 - Of Montreal)
11/29 - M83
12/2 & 12/3 - Smashing Pumpkins

[dubvulture]

11/29 - M83


can't wait for this show!

[Backwater]

El Rey is ok, they've fixed it up recently but its not my favorite venue in town...not the worst by any means just ok. Favorite venues, Troubadour (#1) then Henry Fonda Theater

I can't wait for the Jedi Mind Tricks show, it will be my first time at the Fonda. How was David Byrne?

[orbit]

i need to start saving money for coachella, so i won't go to many shows for the rest of the year.


10/09 Cat Power
10/13 The Magnetic Fields
10/17 The Wedding Present (hopefully i'll find someone who want to drive to austin for this)
10/28 TV on the Radio
11/02 Mountain Goats
11/21 Jealous Girlfriends
12/01 Deerhunter
12/11 Venetian Snares
12/31 Flaming Lips

[rage patton]

Flaming Lips on the New Years Eve? Holy crap I am jelous. That show is going to be amazing.

[gmoneyak]

Next couple of weeks look like:

10/11: The Sword @ Fonda
10/12: No Age @ Echoplex
10/12: Killdozer @ Echo
10/14: Wire @ Echoplex

Only one for sure is The Sword though. They rock so hard.

Hmm, might have to catch their Sac. show on the 10th now.

[indietron]

12/31 Flaming Lips

Where is this information from?? Is this in LA??

[orbit]

no, it's in oklahoma city. they will be playing nye again this year.

3 hours of driving. so worth it.

[Down Rodeo]

And Baroness as well, I believe. Report back on how High on Fire and Baroness are. I like Opeth as well, so if you wanna tell me about them, I'd be happy.

Sorry, I missed Baroness because I was starving and had to get some food. Got back to the show as High on Fire were still playing. They were insanely heavy and sludgy as expected. I wish I had caught more of their set. Opeth finally came on and, well, they're pretty much the greatest current metal band that I know of. The sound was a little bit muddled, but they still sounded fucking phenomenal. Perfect mix of crushing brutality and beautiful melodic passages. This was the first time I saw them as a headliner and I seriously wish they could've played another two hours. I can post a set-list if you or anyone else is interested. Otherwise, just go see Opeth on their current tour.

[tessalasset]

lips on nye was fucking awesome that one year in la.

[Sonicifyouwantit]

I can't wait for the Jedi Mind Tricks show, it will be my first time at the Fonda. How was David Byrne?

really good, better than I thought it would be. He played 7 talking heads songs. His voice hasnt deteriorated either. Had some dance choreography with most of his music as well...He'd be great at coachella. just sayin'

[bmack86]

Next couple of weeks look like:

10/11: The Sword @ Fonda
10/12: No Age @ Echoplex
10/12: Killdozer @ Echo
10/14: Wire @ Echoplex

Only one for sure is The Sword though. They rock so hard.

I just realized that No Age/Killdozer is on Sunday. Which means I can't go now, to either, because I'm going to the Dodgers game.

[woogie846]

no, it's in oklahoma city. they will be playing nye again this year.

3 hours of driving. so worth it.

Oh c'mon! Oklahoma City gets the Halloween Parade and New Year's Eve? The Flaming Lips better add some more dates.

[Ardentbiscuit]

The El Rey isn't that bad. Some of my most fond memories are from there, White Stripes, Daft Punk, The Knife, etc.

[CalmerThanYou]

The El Rey isn't that bad. Some of my most fond memories are from there, White Stripes, Daft Punk, The Knife, etc.

can you elaborate on your daft experience at the el rey? year? vibe? helmets? set up?

id appreciate it.

:)

[iv3rdawG]

Deerhoof at the Echoplex - 11/14

[Ardentbiscuit]

can you elaborate on your daft experience at the el rey? year? vibe? helmets? set up?

id appreciate it.

:)

It was a great experience....they were wearing masks not helmets at that time. I had a great time and the crowd was going crazy. It was one of the most magical nights at the El Rey. I usually don't get this corny about shows.

I has seen them earlier at Jason Bentley's Bossanova at it's old location on main street before they wore masks. I didn't even know I was seeing Daft Punk until years later I found the flyer and I was like, really? I was kind of out of my head that night.

I've seen so many random acts over the years at strange locations for instance that show in Downtown LA that was a film shoot for the movie Strange Days. Dee Lite and Aphex Twin played.

I saw Groove Armada at Fais do do.

[PassiveTheory]

I could see Jedi Mind Tricks in SF for free... But I'm not feeling it.

Why does Slim's and GAMH always get shows that just aren't worth the trek to SF for!?!?

[tessalasset]

That Daft show was in like 1997 right? I know Dani was there, too. So sad I didn't know about them (or the El Rey) yet.

i need to start saving money for coachella, so i won't go to many shows for the rest of the year.
also, orbit knows where it's at. people who bitch about Coachella prices should follow his lead.

[bmack86]

Omar's just a bright ass dude. Stated.

[PineapplePete]

Crystal Antlers w/ guests Slang Chickens and The Limetree Warehouse @ The Unknown Theatre - Friday, October 10. Free beer!

[bmack86]

nice. That should be fun.

[suprefan]

Actually yes I have, VEGAS. It's a bitch.


So did you see anyone worth while? Thought so.

[Sushov23]

So did you see anyone worth while? Thought so.

Yup it was worth it, but it was still a FUCKING BITCH. Anyway, how close is the Oasis show to selling out? I think I want to go now really bad. the new album is amazing, it's the best since Morning Glory easy.

[suprefan]

Still havent answered the question, who did you see. And why dont you check ticketmaster like a smart person does to see how tickets are.

[Ardentbiscuit]

That Daft show was in like 1997 right? I know Dani was there, too. So sad I didn't know about them (or the El Rey) yet.


also, orbit knows where it's at. people who bitch about Coachella prices should follow his lead.

Yep that's the show, it was awesome.

So I bought tickets through live nation's website and I never got them so I had to call their customer service line. They said sorry and said they would have tickets for me at will call. So I asked a simple question next and this is what they said.

"What happens if my tickets were stolen from my mailbox? What if someone goes into the show before me with those tickets?"

This is what the operator said, "Don't worry we've voided those tickets and will be issuing you the same tickets with new bar codes. Under these circumstances we inform the venue that when the code void comes up on the ticket scanner that they are to have security detain the person and call the police and have the person arrested.".

I do hate it when my tickets disappear but I think this is a little extreme.

[suprefan]

No its not, first off, they stole, second of all its also identity theft, so its justifiable.

[paulb]

Sigur Ros fuckin killed it tonight! Quite the set... now for 2 Gogol Bordello shows this weekend!!!!!!!!!!

[shakermaker113]

No its not, first off, they stole, second of all its also identity theft, so its justifiable.

either they stole, or they bought from a scalper who stole. and it's not identity theft.

[faxman75]

Identity theft? lol get the fuck out Supre. Some douche stole concert tickets, not a drivers license and social security number.

[tessalasset]

Just got this email:

DJ AM aka Adam Goldstein has been a close friend of both BPM Magazine and myself personally for many years now and we owe him a debt of gratitude that we can never repay, but we hope this helps just a bit…


KROQ & DECKSTAR in association with T-Mobile and BPM Magazine are hosting a very special event to WELCOME HOME DJ AM. The party will be filled with huge DJ performances, all by personal friends of AM including MARK RONSON, CUT CHEMIST, MIXMASTER MIKE, STEVE AOKI, MOMJEANS AKA DANNY MASTERSON, DJ VICE, DJ HOMICIDE, DJ SPIDER, JUS SKE, GRAHAM FUNKE, STONEROKK, DJ FASHEN & MIKE B.



The welcome home party goes down in one week, Tuesday October 14th at Avalon Hollywood (18+) from 10p-3am. Now before you ask there is NO guestlist, NO exceptions. Tickets are currently $20 each at www.wantickets.com with proceeds going towards the memorial funds of those lost in the recent tragedy.

[BlackSwan]

DJ HOMICIDE

lol... is that DJ Homicide ala Sugar Ray?

[bmack86]

One can only hope.

[paulb]

MMM would be great to see.

[uscjeff]

STP are playing Club Nokia

I laughed.

Where did you see that? I can only imagine how much they are charging for a small show like that...

[bmack86]

That'd be a blast, though. I'd really like to see STP in a small venue like that.

[brokenDREAMS]

[QUOTE=psychic friend;761396]Each show is different so I don't know what you are looking for. but here is what my buddy GOOGLE showed me.



Well I only have tickets to Beck so far. It would be nice if ticketmaster showed what the seating arrangement is when purchasing tickets through them or at the very least have it indicated at the official club nokia website.

[SoulDischarge]

Oh fuck yessssssssssssssss. Devo are playing a hometown Obama benefit show at this place:

http://z.about.com/d/cleveland/1/0/9/4/-/-/akroncivic.jpg

[BlackSwan]

holy shit... that is an awesome venue.

[SoulDischarge]

Criminally underused too. The ceiling changes from a day sky to a night sky. I have fond memories of my mom taking me to see Rocky & Bullwinkle marathons there as a kid.

[JustSteve]

coldplay has a show on nov. 25 at the honda center in anaheim. presale starts friday, regular onsale saturday.

[JustSteve]

Oasis are being pretty skimpy with their tour dates ..... damn.

they just wanted to make some extra cash before the holiday. they will be back for sure...hopefully at coach.

[Sushov23]

I wonder how close Oasis is to selling out. Some decent seats still pop up on TM. All the cheap seats are gone though, and floor.

[gmoneyak]

MURS tonight for me, nice.

[rage patton]

So, should I go see this...

PSYxT9GM0fQ

next thursday?

[indietron]

I watched that whole video just to watch some girl kick a guy in the face??? Ugh...

[paulb]

20 bucks.......can you really go wrong?

[Backwater]

MURS tonight for me, nice.

Have fun! If it's not too big of a venue, hang around after the show and you'll probably be able to meet him. He's a really nice guy and he's hilarious!

[indietron]

Hmmm for only 20... that might be worth it.

[Sushov23]

This whole time I was getting excited about The Mae Shi, GOP, and Lykke Li, when I just realized I have tickets for The Faint, Kool Keith, Mika Miko at the Grove of Anaheim. DAMN, it's cool though, I really want to see the 3 bands playing at the grove, and I've seen GOP, The Mae Shi.

Is Mika Miko really playing the grove show??

that would be fun.

you really can't go wrong either way though.

[Sushov23]

yeah that is what I figure, either show is going to be great. Yes I got an email that Mika Miko was playing.

[bmack86]

Yup, Mika Miko are a blast live as well. I'm not quite as huge on them as I am on the Mae Shi, HEALTH or No Age, but they bring the energy every time.

[apostle2]

I have no shows in november right now, and no money to go to anything too ritzy, what are the big cheap november LA shows?

[Boourns]

For what Coldplay charges for a ticket, they better have a festival's worth of opening acts.

[bmack86]

Lykke Li, Grand Ole Party, Friendly Fires and the Mae Shi at the El Rey on 11/3,

I'll be at the last 3 100%, and I'll probably be at TVOTR. Can never miss Of Montreal.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

For what Coldplay charges for a ticket, they better have a festival's worth of opening acts.

I think it is silly that the good tickets for Coldplay are $95 here in Denver.

[rage patton]

Holy shit. I just realized I am seeing Gogol Bordello tomorrow night AND Saturday!

Speaking of upcoming shows, I got nothin' until Minus the Bear on 11/10. Boo. I'm going to a bellydance show next weekend...does that count? There's music and stuff...*lowers head*

[sbessiso]

That sounds adorable, do you have an outfit ready

[Boourns]

Josh, ask if they are playing Coachella again next year.

[rskapcat]

That sounds adorable, do you have an outfit ready

If you're asking me, nope, no special outfit. All my friends are bellydancers...I just ogle them in their finery. ;)

[Backwater]

More good November shows:

11/07 - Jedi Mind Tricks - Fonda
11/12 - Galactic - HOB
11/13 - Face to Face- HOB
11/21 - Medeski, Martin and Wood - El Rey

[rage patton]

That sounds adorable, do you have an outfit ready

Yes. :)

Josh, ask if they are playing Coachella again next year.

Will do.

Also, since Gogol are playing two nights in Vancouver, I plan on finding out where they are going after the show and partying with them.

[gaypalmsprings]

Beck tickets at the Nokia are $35 on StubHub. And there are LOTS of them.

[sbessiso]

I wanna buy them all and have him perform to just me

Also, since Gogol are playing two nights in Vancouver, I plan on finding out where they are going after the show and partying with them.

[MarkO]

I need to get a tixket for The NoTwist and then I think that will be it for a while. I really need to cut expenses.

[suprefan]

I think it is silly that the good tickets for Coldplay are $95 here in Denver.

They get paid a million a night, so they have to charge you that much. Or else Gwyneth goes hungry.

TOMORROW!

[ThomThom]

I'm still bitter about TVOTR almost being sold out at The Wiltern, I knew I should have bought those fucking tickets sooner.

[woogie846]

I'm still bitter about TVOTR almost being sold out at The Wiltern, I knew I should have bought those fucking tickets sooner.

Yeah seriously, how are the seats in the mezzanine in the Wiltern?

[rage patton]

Woogie... how were Rancid & The Aquabats?

[gmoneyak]

Have fun! If it's not too big of a venue, hang around after the show and you'll probably be able to meet him. He's a really nice guy and he's hilarious!

Yeah, Murs is a cool dude. He's hit up our area many times over the past few years.

Last night's show was great, it was the second stop of his Murs For President tour and he really puts on an enthusiastic performance. This town really supports Living Legends, so he spend most of the night being very gracious. I didn't get a chance to kick it with him afterwards, but I did talk some baseball and bullshit w/one of the dudes from Kidz in The Hall, who opened.

Also, Murs' tour bus was badass:

[ThomThom]

Yeah seriously, how are the seats in the mezzanine in the Wiltern?

I don't have a clue, and I really don't care to find out. Hopefully they either add another Wiltern date or release some GA tickets on TM closer to the day of the show.

[bballarl]

Anyone else attending The Sword this Saturday? Anyone?

[suprefan]

Yeah seriously, how are the seats in the mezzanine in the Wiltern?

If you can be in the front of the balcony you are fine, dont sit in the second section..

[woogie846]

Woogie... how were Rancid & The Aquabats?

Since I came late from Detour, I only caught Pool Party from the Aquabats. They threw a couple of 5 year olds out in the crowd which made me a little nervous. Rancid put on a really solid set. The bass solo during Maxwell Murder was incredible. Hot damn they have a hardcore fanbase.

[whynotsmile99]

damn another show i have to spend money on...

I still have a rancid belt and wallet, and pictures of Lars and I when he had the liberty spikes and so did I. I wish I knew where the pics are. They're awesome.

I might have to go to that too.

[tessalasset]

murs is seriously swell.

I am off to bed now everybody. I am ready for Gogol Bordello. Wish me luck.

[woogie846]

I am off to bed now everybody. I am ready for Gogol Bordello. Wish me luck.

You need your rest for two nights of awesomeness.

[rage patton]

I am off now. I am going to go see Filth and Wisdom today at 11:30 at a theatre right across the street from where Gogol are playing tonight. I am then going to hang around in Vancouver the rest of the day, waiting for the show. I hope Eugene or someone from Gogol is it at Filth and Wisdom.
Anyways, I don't know what is going to happen after tonight, but there is a chance you guys don't see me for a while.

[Ardentbiscuit]

As far as 2008 Swing States go.

I knew that VA and OH were swing stages. I wasn't aware that WI was a swing state, I thought it was typically blue.

The only states that might be swing states for this tour are NC, NV, CO, MO, MN, IN and FL.

[boarderwoozel3]

WA screws me again. Damn liberals.

[sbessiso]

omgomgomgomgomg

come play MIAMI!!

Sometimes I wish California was a swing state so we could get some benefit shows.

Make people be on the fence and they will come.

How much do we trust concert tickets coming from stubhub? there are tickets for the Beck Nokia show so cheap that I really can't not go, but I have never bought from the hub before.

[bmack86]

they've been good to me.

[Mr. Dylanja]

george clinton Parliement/Funkadelic At Club Nokia friday night early Jaunuary


Where did this info come from? Is there a PHX date?

Also, EVERYONE should go to this, it is an absolute blast!!

[thestripe]

Who wants to meet up at Deerhunter in SF?

[Mr. Dylanja]

I've never met How and would like to, unfortunately I'm not attending...

[thestripe]

I'm tired. The makes mistakes when tired, only to fix them real quick like.

I could see this swing through Reno, we've had a different politician here every week over the past 3 months.

I'd take the Beasties w/Santogold.

[bmack86]

I'd meet up with you at the Deerhunter show, but, alas, Los Angeles.

[Backwater]

I may go to Lotus tonight if i can scam a free tic ....x****

That should be fun. Have you seen them before? I've seen them a couple times. They're like a more amateur version of STS9 but they're not bad. I hope you get in.

[4Ransom]

fuck, was going to hit up santogold tonight at the last minute, but its sold out. :(

[Ardentbiscuit]

I could see this swing through Reno, we've had a different politician here every week over the past 3 months.

Let's hope if it happens Norah Jones is there too...

Once they added to the line up that Likke Ly show sold out in like 9 seconds..

So I was hearing from some people that The Killers are playing NYE in Vegas with some other bands. I have to wait for full confirmation though.

[thestripe]

I'd meet up with you at the Deerhunter show, but, alas, Los Angeles.

If tix are still on sale I could make it to the El Ray show. It'll give me an excuse to visit my mom and dad. They be bug'n me to come down.

[bmack86]

I'm definitely going to it.

[TheWatcher]

Mike Relm at the El Rey 10/14 Canceled.

Looks like he canceled all his dates except for the East Coast.

Anyone know why?

[woogie846]

I've got Don Rickles tomorrow at the Canyon Club!

[Boourns]

The ROTC instructor at my high school looked like Don Rickles.

[Sushov23]

fuck, was going to hit up santogold tonight at the last minute, but its sold out. :(

Just got back from the show. It was fucking sick. Low Vs. Diamond surprised me, they are a very good band. Alice Smith(I think) has got a great, great, voice. She needs to discover her true sound though. Mates Of State played a quick 40-45 minute set filled with great pop songs. No Get Better, it's cool though. they had some tech. difficulties. Santogold, WOW, talk about a great performer. JUST FUCKING AMAZING, if you missed her and you like her music you FAIL. Go see her if she is still coming through your town. I am planning on going again on Monday to the Anaheim show, I liked all 4 bands/artists that much. I need to see this GOLDRUSH tour again.

[sbessiso]

I'm really hoping she graces Miami with her presence sooner rather than later

[Sushov23]

she played for about 45-50 minutes, but man sbess she is a PERFORMER. She really engages the crowd, and makes you feel like a part of the experience. SO GREAT. She let a bunch of people on stage with her, she played every song that people wanted to hear(except lights out, which sucked a bit) but that wasn't going to make me sour at all. GREAT GREAT GREAT. She also seems greatful to have a fanbase like she does, she sold out the show. She seems like a very nice person also. OH the only thing that sucked was that Santogold had no merch. I was a sad panda, I wanted some shirts man!

[sbessiso]

40-45 minutes?? I guess that makes sense since she only has one album. We play her album at work and we always dancw whenever she comes on. I'm glad to hear shes so good live because I hadnt heard a damn thing about her live show. I'm not quite ready for a santogold t-shirt though. I need like a million more Beck tees first ;)

[Sushov23]

Santogold needs to come back for Coachella next year, I need to see her again in Anaheim, and that is all that matters right now. I need to figure out someway to make it out there. My problem is I got KOL on sunday in SD, then KOL again in LA on wed.

[Rats!]

How much do we trust concert tickets coming from stubhub? there are tickets for the Beck Nokia show so cheap that I really can't not go, but I have never bought from the hub before.
they're fine

[whynotsmile99]

so two $21 tickets for George Clinton came out too..... 70 bucks

FUCK THAT. UGH

but im excited to finally be able to see George Clinton. It's never worked out before, so i'm excited. I still hope they will be at Coachella though.

I went for the cheap seats but it's all GA. does that mean balcony, or first level just in the back? The seating chart sucks ass. Stupid ticketmaster takes so much for a convience fee and doesn't give us much convience.

ANyone know how the capacity of the place?

[Backwater]

George Clinton is the shizzznit, but where is Bootsy? How long has it been since he's toured with them? He's the Flea of pfunk, just not the same without him.

Does Santogold have a live band?

[Sushov23]

no live band, I remember reading reviews that said she did, but I don't know what happened. The show was still AMAZING.

[aeroplanee]

no live band, I remember reading reviews that said she did, but I don't know what happened. The show was still AMAZING.

Seriously???

i remember reading that this tour was Specifically for her to tour with a live band


weird.

[paulb]

motherfuckin Gogol Bordello tonight again! Tiz gonna be weird... nothing can top last nights show... and my body isnt ready for another night of moshing and head bangin and screamin for 2h...

[mvanwinkle]

motherfuckin Gogol Bordello tonight again! Tiz gonna be weird... nothing can top last nights show... and my body isnt ready for another night of moshing and head bangin and screamin for 2h...

aww.. poor you.

[bballarl]

The Sword. Kaboom.

[paulb]

aww.. poor you.

hehe...aw...muffin

[boarderwoozel3]

Yeah seeing them on back to back nights would be trying physically. I was super sore, exhausted and covered in welts/bruises yesterday, still have some nice ones today. Epic proposal aside how were they last night?

Methinks I made a massive mistake not making the trip up to Vancouver for the double!!

[bmack86]

THe Mae Shi are doing an Obama benefit at the Smell tonight. In case anyone was wondering.

[paulb]

Gogol were better on stage last night, than the Metro show.... there was no Mexican guy in the band either!!!! which is a + cause i hate how he fucks up all the songs with his random spanish rapping...and how he ruins Start Wearing Purple by interupting Eugene...

but the audience at the Metro were alot better....alot more fun, going offness... I had some drunk douchebag passing out, spilling beer next to me... twas lame...and some klinger chic who started rubbing all over Josh's friend was up in everyones crawlspace, trying to touch and fuck everyone in site...and this chic was fat and ugly.

[rage patton]

It would have been awesome to have you there Jeff.

The band was great. It was musically, either tied with or just as good as Coachella 07. However, after the show when I was backstage, the guitarist was saying they were having some sound problems and he hoped they would be smoothed over for the second show tonight. I didn't notice any though.

[boarderwoozel3]

Oh man, what a night then. And you guys get to do it again! I'm jealous.

Just when you think they can't get any better... Didn't it seem like they got a lot tighter? On Thursday I got the impression they played extremely well together, it was really noticeable.

[rage patton]

The band members all have an undeniable chemistry with each other. However, the one thing I really don't like... is how little the girls are used now. At Coachella 07 the girls were onstage almost the entire show and used the giant bass drum and cybals almost all the time. Not only that though, the had other random instruments including whistles and washboards. Now the only sing for a couple songs... and ONLY use the giant bassdrum and cybals, and only during one song.

[woogie846]

Agreed Rage, the girls should come out a lot more.

[sonofhal]

no live band, I remember reading reviews that said she did, but I don't know what happened. The show was still AMAZING.

She had a live band at Pukkelpop, and it was infinitely better than the Coachella set.

[boarderwoozel3]

I did notice that the singer/dancer/percussion girls were used a bit more sparingly. They only busted out the bass drum for the last song yeah?

[sbessiso]

Fuuuuuck! Chromeo doing a DJ set here in Miami Beach on Halloween but it's at a club that I'm so sure is 21+. Benny Benassi playing club mansion tonight too, and same problem! woe is me :(

[boarderwoozel3]

Either would be an excellent way to spend Halloween. Get your sneak on sbess.

[suprefan]

Fuuuuuck! Chromeo doing a DJ set here in Miami Beach on Halloween but it's at a club that I'm so sure is 21+. Benny Benassi playing club mansion tonight too, and same problem! woe is me :(

Fake Id and tell the bouncer you will give hmi favors afterwards. Do what girls do, you like guys just like they do.

[sbessiso]

If I had a fake ID why would I need to do the bouncer any favors

[boarderwoozel3]

To ensure he doesn't check too thoroughly. And getting to cut any potential lines (people lines, not the Miami kind).

[rage patton]

I am leaving in a couple minutes to Gogol Bordello Night #2. I am stoked.

[MissingPerson]

Try and top the last one, I dare you.

[rage patton]

I have a feeling that is going to be quite tough.

[Somewhat Damaged]

motherfuckin Gogol Bordello tonight again! Tiz gonna be weird... nothing can top last nights show... and my body isnt ready for another night of moshing and head bangin and screamin for 2h...

Paul, you're a fine guy and all, but please quit it with this "Tiz" and "twas" crap. It's annoying.

[bmack86]

Well, saw the Mae Shi again tonight. They were awesome, as always. Jeff, the guitar player, got kicked in the face after he fell off a monitor and was covered in blood, they played Pwnd for the first time in a long ass time (as far as I'm aware), they did two new songs, opened with some old ones, and generally rocked. And, before the show, they all said hi to me, because apparently I'm a regular now. Also, Bad Dudes, who opened, were awesome. They were like a metal band without ever getting into riffs. All full of tangled, knotty guitar lines. Too cool.

[Backwater]

I really wish I could have made it tonight, I still have to see the Mae Shi sometime.

[paulb]

Paul, you're a fine guy and all, but please quit it with this "Tiz" and "twas" crap. It's annoying.

ok :(

[paulb]

Tonight was fuckin excellent at Gogol Bordello!!!! This show clearly didnt have the importance and epicness of what happened on stage last night... but this show was better in my eyes... The setlist wasnt as predicatable...heard 5 songs I had never seen live before, and had the most fun time in the pits, not many douchebags, just a big dance and party fest... Josh used his backstage pass again and hooked me up with a setlist... great guy.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3292/2934146400_9ebe067c52.jpg

Gogol Bordello is not to be missed on this tour...

[mvanwinkle]

Glad the second show was good. that looked like a great set.

[RotationSlimWang]

Jesus Christ how do so many of you assholes manage to care about that band that much?

[sbessiso]

Theyre a lot of fun man. A LOT. But I've seen them twice this year, coachella and their show down here. I've had my fill for a while. I cannot imagine 2 nights of Gogol in a row. It baffles me. I hope they take a break before they burn themselves out

[RotationSlimWang]

No, they're not. Put up with 30 minutes of that bullshit at Coach this year SOLELY so that I could have an informed opinion on them to deal with this never-ending fountain of praise the board spews about a gypsy punk band (ugh). Sure enough it was heinous tripe, made by rhythmless white people for other rhythmless white people to imitate dancing without looking as stupid as they would if they were trying to move to real music.

HONKY PAP.

[sbessiso]

blah, whatever. At least we can agree on Santogold, right?

p.s.-I wonder if I just dont shave until Halloween I can sneak into that chromeo show. this is such a stupid fucking problem to have

[PassiveTheory]

You know their bassist is black, right? Not to mention the asian chicks, the latino hype dude, etc... I can understand that assertion concerning a band as white as, say, Vampire Weekend or Beirut, but Gogol Bordello isn't exactly pale as bleach.

[paulb]

Chromeo is lame... forget about it Salah.

[sbessiso]

No Way!

2Step 2Step 2Step 2Step 2Step 2Step 2Step

[paulb]

oh god, that was painful at Coachella.

[PassiveTheory]

Chromeo remixed by MSTRKRFT is all kinds of awesome. Especially when played LOUD at a house party.

[paulb]

Mstrkrft>Chromeo

[PassiveTheory]

I kinda like MSTRKRFT's remixes more than their actual stuff.

[sbessiso]

oh god, that was painful at Coachella.

it was for me too, but for a different reason. I was in bad shape, kinda being held up by someone. ohh sunday night of coachella

[paulb]

did you see all of Justice Salah?

[sbessiso]

I saw none of Justice

[paulb]

were you passed out somewhere at the tents by then or somethin?

[sbessiso]

Pretty much. I had some company though, we could hear Justice from the campsite

[paulb]

im stoked for next year...

[mvanwinkle]

I left after waters I walked over to justice but it was too packed and I was too tired so i just walked home.

[bballarl]

The Sword were their typical awesome selves this evening. I love how dorky those guys are. Such a great band.

[woogie846]

Damn paulb, Immigrant Punk and Harem in Tuscany? That's a good setlist.

[luckyface]

No, they're not. Put up with 30 minutes of that bullshit at Coach this year SOLELY so that I could have an informed opinion on them to deal with this never-ending fountain of praise the board spews about a gypsy punk band (ugh). Sure enough it was heinous tripe, made by rhythmless white people for other rhythmless white people to imitate dancing without looking as stupid as they would if they were trying to move to real music.

HONKY PAP.

Honestly, I feel the same way. I found their Coachella set to be pretty unbearable musically speaking. It is cool they can get the crowd going and all, but I have no idea why. Especially when you consider MMJ followed them, blew them out of the water tenfold, and was shrugged off by the crowd.

[rage patton]

Some people don't like it. That is fine with me. However, whether you undertstand it or not, Gogol Bordello represents an entire culture of music. If you don't like Gogol Bordello's music, don't go to Eastern Europe. Their music is faithfully rooted in traditional eastern european music, with flares of punk, rock and reggae thrown in. I have talked to many people from eastern europe, who love Gogol Bordello. They say they are putting back the life in Balkan music and doing it well. The life and pure energy in that music is actually quite amazing.
Also Randy, the band aren't a bunch of "rhythmless white people." The guitarist is from Isreal, the bassist is from Ethiopia, one of the girls is Chinese, the other girl is Taiwanese and another one of the guys is from Equador. The Drummer is from Floria, he is white, the violinist and accordion player are both from Russia and Eugene Hutz is Ukranian. However as Eugene Hutz says "Upon arriving in the melting pot, I get nestled in as a goddamn white."

[Boourns]

So Eugene is the only real cracker.

I thought their set at Coachella was fun, but I only caught the first half hour. Missed the drum bit, sadly.

And it was all for nothing, too. I was hoping to get up front for Metric by arriving early...NOPE. The one non-mainstage band I couldn't get in the first 10 rows for without knocking into people like a douchebag the entire weekend. Well, Battles, but I showed up right on time, so that was my own fault.

[ThomThom]

I have had the option to see Gogol several times in the past and have always opted out because I just can't see myself sitting through a live performance of music that I cannt stand on record.

[orbit]

i liked their show on 2007. never had heard of them before and stopped to see them in my way to evil nine. i stayed there the whole show. it was a great surprise.

but that was it. saw part of their set at coachella this year and wasn't that great. saw their whole show at acl and was good but nothing special. i probably wouldn't pay to see them at a small venue.
