  • So Devin Townsend was awesome live. Tons of fun, lots of energy, and great banter with the crowd.

    Cynic was the possibly the largest letdown I've experienced in the world of concert-going. Their show is painfully boring and more pretentious than is strictly necessary. Recordings of spoken ponderings of the meaning of thought? Check. Group stretching exercises? Check. Asking the crowd to join with you in meditation before the next song? Check. Just shut the fuck up and play.

    BTBAM are, of course, amazing. This show solidified them as being one of my current top metal bands. They're so talented it almost hurts.

    Oh wooow. I guess I don't have to go out of my way to see them. That's really disappointing, and kind of impressive that they could make a show anything but intense with the kind of songs they have.

    To be honest, I would avoid seeing them. It's the Necrophagist effect; seeing them live actually diminished my ability to enjoy the music.
  • Pheonix and The Flaming Lips are playing Lollapalooza this year. I'm buying a ticket as soon as they come on sale.
  • Florence + The Machine: April 9th @Terminal 5 in NYC
  • The Residents tonight.

    From watching the clips on YouTube, shit's gonna get artsy. But good. Real good.
  • If I find ambition before late March, I'll probably go see Beach House.
  • April 9:Finntroll with Moonsorrow, Swallow the Sun, and Survivors Zero
    Shit, this looks awesome. I might actually see you there. It's a 5.5 hour drive from Rochester. I think it'll be worth it.
  • Residents was incredible. One of the best shows I've ever been to. Maybe the best.
  • This counts as very near future, because it's tonight and I forgot to post about it earlier, but My housemate's band is opening for Municipal Waste tonight, And I'm going along - bonus, my tickets were practically free.

    Shit, guys! Mastodon is coming to Rochester!

    EDIT: Any of you Rochester-area (or willing to drive far on a Tuesday night) forumites interested?

  • So my first concert is likely going to be Tally Hall in Westport on the 6th. I'm pretty excited for this, all told.
  • Shit. I think I have to go to this. I've always said I'd drop anything to see Amon Amarth live, and that's what I'm gonna do. Probably only gonna do Saturday only.

    Ooh.

    There's a non-zero chance you will see me there.
  • Going to see Deacon for sure next month, thinking of seeing Amon Amarth and Coheed/Torche in April and May, respectively.
  • The Protomen are coming to Greenville, NC on April 21st. I will most definitely be there.

    Armcannon is returning to Tora-Con this year. Looking forward to seeing them again.

  • Not a concert per se, but I am going to see a talk by V.S. Ramachandran. Yeah, that Ramachandran.
  • Just found out The Pillows are coming here in May. Ticket: bought.

    Nice. I saw them at a really small venue and they were awesome. I actually started watching FLCL because of them, but I still have finish the series.
  • PAX East Saturday Night Concert!

    I may skip the Friday one, since I hit both concerts at PAX West anyway, and Saturday has all of the acts I really care about.

    Crocodile Cafe from a few years ago? That is still probably my favorite concert of all time, it was just a ridiculous show.

    I believe so. Small place in Seattle, somewhere. That's funny we were both there.
  • Yeah...Anamanaguchi was pretty much amazing.

    Going to see it on the last day, in Bristow, VA.

  • I'm going to see Green Day on 8/16
  • So, don't know how many people here know of Gatsby's American Dream, but Bobby Darling of that band has a solo project called Places and Numbers, which I just saw tonight in the same venue my friends from Max Without Wax were playing. It was interesting to watch just one guy up there rocking out. All the bands put on good shows though, so it was $10 well spent.

    Yeah, double post, but that's what happens when you unexpectedly go to two concerts two days in a row. Today was Fall of Troy on their final tour. It was AMAZING, and I don't really even know their stuff at all. Sad to see another local band retire.

    EDIT: Oh yeah, and when the lead singer/guitarist talks, he sounds just like Scott. Like, scarily similar.

    Lolla 2010 Reveal-O-Matic.

    Gogol Bordello will be there. By extension, so will I.

    EDIT: So will The National, Wolfmother, The Flaming Lips, Spoon, Phoenix, The New Pornographers, Devo, and the Arcade Fire.

    I am so fucking excited I can't breathe.
