Upcoming concerts

[liebzz]

I would love it if the E Street Band played in my living room!

Same!

I've lost most of my urge to see concerts period, but I could be swayed to go see something small and low-key if the vibe, price, and location were right. But I'm confident in saying that arena/stadium shows are a thing of the past for me. That type of experience just isn't what I want to spend my spare time and money on at this point in my life.

In and out of that. I had taken a year off shows of any grandeur and then booked a bunch this year: Warren Haynes Band (great), Springsteen, Goose, and Phish. Not sure how often I will ultimately go after that, but I guess I did catch the bug.

I just found out right now that The Wedding Present is playing Seamonsters (one of my absolute favorite albums of all time) in its entirety tonight so I am going to that. So happy it's not sold out and so happy I happened to look at Bandsintown today. Would have been crushed if I found out this happened later.

[LoathedVermin72]

Truly cannot believe this. I'm gonna cry. I love Seamonsters so much

This was terrific

Failure announced a tour but I looked up their recent setlists and they barely play anything from The Heart is a Monster or In the Future... so I think I'm out. Frustrating those albums are not more embraced.

[Ello Sailor]

Boo fucking hoo. At least they're playing near you!

[Higgs]

Somehow got roped into seeing Boney M. Unsurprisingly it was terrible...

[Higgs]

The support act were a lot of fun though, Perth's own Glam Funk Band. I got to thinking how "headliners" such as Boney M are really on a hiding to nothing though. The support act can play all the fun, funky covers they want, everyone knows them, zero expectations, just fun. But Boney M are limited to their own stuff, and after Rasputin and Ma Baker what else is there? No one is there for Boney M deep cuts.

I read into it afterwards, only one original member on stage, funnily enough the one whose vocals were cut from the original recordings as a production decision. She then sued for the right to tour under the Boney M banner and obvs won.

I wonder how lucrative the touring life is in that situation. And can it possibly be worth having to put on the exact same show with the exact same songs - no interpretation required, play them straight at all costs - night after night?

And then some prick is bagging you out for sucking on a random internet message board. Ouch.

[LoathedVermin72]

Nevermind, Strokes tickets are too rich for my blood. Ugh.

Well my wife decided she wanted to see them too badly to miss this so this is happening anyway

[Birds in Hell]

I don't know how, but I had no idea about that Yawning Man tour.

If I'd known earlier, I'd have tried to go, but now I probably can't make it. Bummer.

The venue choice in Brisbane is a bit unusual, not sure on how legit the promoter is for this tour.

Maybe unsurprisingly, the Adelaide show got canned and never happened.

[dad]

Going to see Bill Callahan tonight.

[Matters]

José González tonight.

[zeb]

Going to see Bill Callahan tonight.

Nice.

[dad]

Going to see Bill Callahan tonight.

Nice.

It was my fourth time seeing him, and it didn’t disappoint. Jim White was on drums and he really stole the show.

[dad]

DIIV tonight. Completely forgot I’d bought tickets to this show back in Feb.

[zeb]

Jim White is excellent and often steals the show.

I saw DIIV last year and they were incredible. Very jealous.

[VinylGuy]

going to see mark guiliana in a few hours.

[zeb]

Deftones & Interpol tomorrow night
