>Recent concerts + reviews
Saw a TON of shows in the past week, including Sufjan, Lightning Bolt, Metz, Mark McGuire, The Soft Moon, Cold Specks, and Noveller.
Sufjan was actually a bit underwhelming because of how restrained he sounded (his voice was a bit raspy too), but the interpretations and expansions of the Carrie & Lowell material were stunning. It sounded like he felt obligated to play some material of Illinois and even rushed through Concerning the UFOs..., which made me wish he just played whatever he wanted to instead of appealing to the more basic fans in the audience. It was still a great show, but I enjoyed his 2012 Christmas tour show more.

Odonis Odonis/Ice Balloons - both of them put on a great show. Odonis Odonis were testing out a lot of new material for an album they have coming out later this year. I really liked it. Ice Balloons were cool too. They have a bass/korg synth/harp/drummer + vocalist who wears a bug mask and visuals done by Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio. The end result was pretty cool. I hope to see both again sometime.

Alice Gerrard - She's an American treasure. 84 year old woman who looks like she's 60 but plays traditional folk/bluegrass music. Her voice is still strong and seeing her isn't something to be done purely for nostalgia purposes. Excellent story teller as well.

Sebadoh - met Lou, who is one of my favorite musicians ever. First time seeing them. They were one of my favorite bands in high school and still are today. Great show too.

White Reaper - saw them in February. They previewed a lot of stuff off the new album and I think it is going to be awesome.

Also seeing a bunch of local shit and going to my city's art festival which features free music including Those Darlins, but I don't think anything else is worth mentioning by name,

>>55241402
What festival?

>>55241859
I saw the Replacements last year. You are in for a good show. Steve Gunn is awesome too.

>>55242190
>July 18 - Dinosaur Jr
You in NC?

>>55242190
Would you recommend seeing Ice Balloons? They're playing near me for for $5 next Sunday.

I caught The Replacements' first reunion show at Riot Fest 2013 and loved it, but from what I've heard they've really tightened up their act and are playing a ton more material so I'm psyched to get another chance to see them.

>>55240810
Is that needledrop screaming with glasses?

>>55242265
Yes. Raleigh.

>>55242275
If you are into art punk or just want to see something different, I 100% recommend it. The lead singer has awesome stage presence too.

I saw the Replacements at Shaky Knees. They played for longer than their time slot allowed them too and delayed Modest Mouse because they wanted to continuously go. I loved it. I wish they'd come back down South. If they were close enough I'd try to go again.

>>55242317
>art punk
sounds right up my alley, plus I listened to a couple of their sounds and they sound pretty great. Thanks man!

>>55242378
I hope you like them. I talked to the harp player after the show and she was super nice. Have fun!

>>55240810

Earl Sweatshirt, Vince Staples, and Remy Banks put on one of the best shows I've seen in for Hip-Hop in years, and I might even go so far as to say for top shows.

I saw Stevie Wonder with my mom. He performed for 3 hours, and did all of "Songs In The Key Of Life". I almost cried manly tears, but I held it together. Fucking incredible.

I saw Cartel play all of their debut CD Chroma, and they sounded just like they do on their recordings.

Upcoming concerts include Brand New with Circa Survive, Rush, Soundset festival, and Brand New again. That's just of what I know I'm going to so far for sure.

I am going to a NMH concert soon. If I want front row spots how early do I go?

>>55242317
>Raleigh
My nigga. Durhamfag here. I work at State though.

>>55242931
At least an hour before doors, but if you really want to be on the rail you may want to get there 2 hours early.

>>55242554
I wish I could've seen Earl live but the one chance I had was cancelled because he was sick (Bonnaroo 2013).
That Stevie Wonder show sounds amazing, that would've been awesome to see

>>55242999
I work at State too. It's just a temp job but it pays for my concerts.

>>55243443
What department, if you don't mind me asking, maybe we've passed each other?

>>55241859
Are you me? I'm going to those NMH, Tame Impala, Nelsonville fest, Father John Misty, and Shabazz Palaces shows too too.

Yo I'm actually on the fence about going to that show tomorrow. I got my tickets back when the show was supposed to be at the Cedar, but since it's at First Ave now I kinda don't wanna go.

>>55245752
Wanna take a wash on them?

>would probably just be a bunch of /mu/ losers in the crowd standing with their arms crossed
Quite the opposite at my show tonight. Mosh pit was very vivacious, crowd was super into it, and bands noticed/gave positive feedback. So yeah, feel bad for missing out.

>>55246369
Dude, JD McPherson is on the bill, too? Go see them. Guaranteed great live show.

>>55246915

can any ausfags tell me what they use to alert them of upcoming tours?

somewhat unrelated but I'm really mad at myself for missing out on travis scott + young thug on the rodeo tour.

https://youtu.be/fQ-4kAyqkSQ?t=4m6s this shit looks amazing. not to mention kanye came out and did all day at the one I planned on going to

I like to go to underground shows of hardcore/metal/etc bands with some friends.
We usually have a blast and talk/have a drink with the band members after the show.

pic related, show I went to a few days ago.

PART 1
>recently saw
BBNG + Squarepusher
BBNG were amazing, this was my 3rd time seeing them and they delivered as usual and then some. Brought out Leland for his California live debut, debuted a new song, plus had a ton of great improvised solos. Overall, the band sounded 10x better than when I saw them in the fall, and even then they sounded incredible. When I talked to them after the show, they told me that they're recording new material right now.
Squarepusher was cool, played material mostly off the new album with two screens at a concave in the background. I found the visuals more interesting than the music. Some girl was fucked on molly and bouncing around the dancefloor though, that was cool.
Mac DeMarco + Belle & Sebastian
Mac was a bucketlist show for me. When I was an RA, I got hooked on pills and lean and stayed in my room and started falling behind in a lot of stuff after a breakup. Listening to "dumb meme goofball music" that reminded me of Wayne's World made me wanna keep living. the last girl I dated loved Mac so Salad Days was a big album for me. I had a ticket to see him last year, but got sick and had to sell my ticket. Was really excited, bought tickets in advance, ended up going with a qt
Mac seemed really tired and kind of sad.His set was shorter than the ones that I had seen and heard, and a lot of the banter seemed forced. He still put on a good show, and maybe it was the need to be a "grown up band" since he was opening for B&S, but Mac and especially the band felt a lot tamer than their 2012 and 2013 selves. Overall happy I got to drunkenly sing along to "Ode to Viceroy" though.
Belle & Sebastian were much better than expected. I only knew a few of their songs, and had only really listened to "IYFS" all the way through in recent memory. Stuart had good stage presence and the new material sounded nice. they invited people in the pit to dance on stage and had a girl who said that it was her first show to pick the closer.

>>55250427
PART 2
>Chance the Rapper
was 8 shots of tequila drunk at this free uni show. Don't really remember much but looking at my watch waiting for the thing to be over. The fans were annoying and the sound system sucked.
>Joyce Manor
not bad, crowd was as expected. Plus, Ian Cohen made his usual appearance.
>Upset
I drunkenly convinced Ali Koehler to give me an interview, and she did. she talked about Devin from DIIV being an asshole and how her boyfriend wants to kick his ass. show was alright.
>The Garden
my ex really liked them so I avoided them for a while. was pleasantly surprised. Got bit by some teenager with blue hair, though.
>Del the Funkee Homosapien
Really good show, lots of energy, good stage presence and banter.
>White Fence
went to this show because my friends wanted to go. Was able to get a free ticket at the last minute. It was at the Natural history Museum in LA, which was a cool backdrop. Being surrounded by burger teens and West LA white folks isn't really my thing, though.

Went to a show last night and had a blast. Im a minor so a buddy and I snuck in a flask and got shitty wasted.
The first band was alright, gave courtesy head bangs. No moshing.
Shook a shit load of hands of the guys that make music that i fucking love which was tight.
>Favorite band comes on
>Start trying to mosh
>nobodies into it
>"Anon, not everyone wants to mosh you asshole!"
>Drunk, dont care
>Keep going
>Give up since everyone is lame, start headbanging
>Get sucker punched in the back of the head
>DOnt drop, get dizzy, want to puke
>"Fuck it, its my favorite band on the set"
>Keep headbanging anyway

There was a girl I kept bumping into, after the band I bumped into her again and was being very flirty. She was like Im five years older than you! so I just shrugged it off.

>She stared at me while I walked to the car after the show

PART 3
>upcoming
Death Grips
Neutral Milk Hotel
my uni has a music festival next month, and I'm looking forward to seeing Pusha T and DJ Mustard

Saw GY!BE last night in Dublin. They played the new album in full, amongst other stuff, and finished with the Sad Mafioso. By far the best concert I've ever been to.
Seeing ASIWYFA in June, and I'm debating whether to go to Swans in May.

>>55244585
Probably not. I work for the bookstore.

>>55252316
>Saw GY!BE last night in Dublin. They played the new album in full, amongst other stuff, and finished with the Sad Mafioso. By far the best concert I've ever been to.
huh, playlist there was really different. They played Moya and Behemoth to finish the set.

They also performed two new songs, i don't know if they played it at Dublin but one of them was divided in two parts, one is hopefull, the other one is nasty, angry, but not droney. Probably the best thing they've done since 'Allellujah.
