Seeing them Live - Concerts and gigs thread.

I was like, "Come on, honey, it's a Japanese dude playing ear-shattering static from a laptop along with a noodly French guitarist who rips off Robert Fripp. It'll be great!"

There's no accounting for taste, I guess.

Ya, I don't know how people would react after a couple of minutes, when they realize that that is how he is supposed to sound.

Saul Williams, tool, and radiohead will be in my neck of the woods in February. WTF.

I was in Nashville this past week and was walking 'round the downtown area where there's tons of bars with random country bands playing. Now, it'd be stupid to be in Music City without sampling some local fare. So I caught two beers' worth of some six-piece band (I never caught the name) packed onto a stage so small they were nearly falling off in front of a tiny audience in a tiny club.

It was a real motley group: a beanpole of a lead singer in his early 30s playing a Telecaster of about the same age; a short, jovial acoustic guitarist with blonde caveman beard and hair; a girl on 5-string bass out of a Rev. Horton Heat video; a curly-haired fiddler who didn't look old enough to drink; a pedal-steel guitarist old enough to be the fiddler's dad and looking like Harry Shearer in his Folksmen guise; and a drummer who never quite got it face seen through the others.

And holy shit, did they kick ass. It was all about enthusiasm, intimacy and volume. The set list was---as far as I could tell---pretty traditional (they took a request for some Waylon). No pop-country bullshit, but then if there was I wouldn't have stuck around.

So! I'm going to this on Mar 3rd, really it's to see Alterbridge... but what other bands do you guys recommend?http://forum.soundwavefestival.com/lineup

[luna]

you must try to see:
30 seconds to mars
primus
queens of the stone age
rob zombie could be good for a laugh...when i saw him way back in '98 he had topless dancing girls
one day as a lion

the fact that i've never heard of most of the lineup makes me feel kinda old...

[doom]

Mastodon!
Devin Townsend Project
Klevertak

[doom]

got to see Saul Williams this evening. His songs sound better live, and i love them on the album.
he's also touring with one of the guys from atari teenage riot, and that guy djed before saul's set as well as performed with saul.

i ALSO got to meet Saul, and he signed my copy of the dead emcee scrolls. a genuinely nice dude that is really humble and fucking awesome.

[r00]

very cool.

Hmmm...

While my anxiety issues are getting better, my lady-friend is trying to push me into going to a concert with her.  Whatever artist it would end up being, I think it would be my first since, I think, the With Teeth tour.  Not sure...
