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.

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

Have fun

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Going to see Bill Callahan tonight.

José González 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.

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

Jim White is excellent and often steals the show.

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

going to see mark guiliana in a few hours.

Deftones & Interpol tomorrow night
