Tomahawk in a few days WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!

Flogging Molly is playing here in March (12th) Not 100% sure I will be going. BUT I'm pretty sure I will be. (More or less if I get a new job and can't swing it...)

Also Tech N9ne is gona be here in April. One of my friends from Pendleton will be coming up for the show. He is playing two days, and while we talked about it today we didn't really set anything in stone about which date we will be going... (I can afford to go to both, BUT not really sure I want to spend that much on him.) There is one opener that is different each night. But the main people I would want to see (Brotha Lynch Hung mostly... Err really just him and Tech. Hell More him then Tech...) Are the same both nights. And I don't think they will have a different set list for each night. Maybe a song or two. But not a setlist worth... (also I want my friend to go so I'm not the only white person there...)


ALSO KMFDM is gona be here in March... And I have never been that big on them. GRANTED I haven't listened to much of their stuff. But are they still good? Or have they pulled a Manson and lost all relevance a few years ago? Granted since I don't know much of their music as long as the show is good I will be happy...

[Aaron]

The opener was Retox. Good band. I wish the vocals were a lot louder in the mix. They were washed in so much I couldn't even hear him at all (let alone what he was saying...) they were really good. They had shit will timed. I was buy the bassist. And he didn't fuck around. He played with a pick for most of it, but a few songs he slapped/just used his hand. He was bleeding by a few songs in. Impressive stuff. His bass was white so it showed the blood really well...

Tomahawk was fucking awesome. This was their first show after they put out the album. So a lot of the songs were new to us. like IOU (which was fucking awesome. They even commented about doing it again for us. And I don't think they were joking). They played my favorites God Hates a Coward, Laredo, and Flash back (and lots of others, but those were the make my night songs) They played a good mix of old and new. And for old men they rocked pretty damn hard (Mike made fun of them all night. Like commenting that it had been 10 years since they were last there.) And after IOU he asked a guy that looked like the singer from Judas Priest if he wanted to hear the song again. (He didn't  ) And then he commented about that he was only 18 up there. His mic stand also wouldn't stay up it would bend over a lot. Like instead of a slight bend it would be a U shape. So at one point when he needed both hands he kneeled down to sing and do stuff with his hands. It was cool as shit to see them live. Mike put in his energy like I have seen on youtube. They did 2 encores. Two songs then left, then came back for one more. A more country song. It was a fucking GREAT show. And I didn't have to walk home. So that makes it even sweeter!

Odd things about the show...

People smoked pot, at the show. BUT it's legal here now. So whateves. People had some fucking horrid BO. It was by far the worst show as far as BO goes. There was a dude that got right in front of me. (he didn't stink thank god) There was a really beautiful chick next to us (dude in front and me) taps her and points in front so she goes there And dude taps her a lot. Like Thumbs up and shit. Dude also had an "oo" face (say foooooooooood" The ooo part that was him for most the show. Also tapping random people around and doing thumbs up to them. (he didn't know beautiful chick, he tapped her and points away he leaves she doesn't. She also had a "WTF" look when he walked a bit away.) He would also do the rock fist only not all the way and would hold his hand together while doing it. (All in all a really weird as fuck dude) I also had someone that wasn't even as tall as my chest that was a one chick mosh pit, she was fucking awesome. There was also a 40ish dude with out a shirt that was moshing. He was sweaty, and icky... One person had their had more or less wedged in my pit for most the night. Which I think freaked my out a lot more then anything else... Not gona llie...

[Aaron]

I haven't listened to them much, but I watched their Coachella performance and it was well done.

[Aaron]

The Melvins, Godspeed you! Black Emperor, Aesop Rock, Five Iron Frenzy. Shows coming up soon that I will be going to. (as long as I get the time off. Which really shouldn't be to big a problem. I hope.) 

[luna]

I find it really irritating when a band considers a festival date part of their tour. We wanted to see qotsa but they are playing a festival so the tickets for that day are over $100 each

[threatsicle]

cold cave + boyd rice this friday

[Aaron]

I went to see The Uncluded. (I just got back, I don't remember the last time I was up this late.)

The opener was good, I liked his music however fucker would step away from the mic and leave all the people on the balcony (aka over 21s) to not hear. It was kinda folkish (maybe) dude with a guitar and he sang. It wasn't bad, but I didn't think he was amazing either.

Then Uncluded. Which was really awesome. They played for awhile, and it was a good show. However two dudes were there and they were fucking drunk off their asses. They yelled Aesop Rock all the fucking time. AND Not like the end or the start of a song (which I wouldn't have minded as much...) But all threw the fucking songs. They fucking pissed me off. The bar tender had security come over and tell them to STFU or get kicked out. (I was hoping they would fuck up and get kicked out. BUT nope.)

All in all their music was folkish and a little rap mixed. It was good a very new combo. Very mellow music, but good stuff.

[Aaron]

ALSO outside the venue they had posters of coming soon shows. and one was for MOTHERFUCKING GODFLESH. I was Pee my pants happy about that. Cuz while I do truly love me some Jesu, Godflesh is still an amazing show. And tickets are 25 bucks and then fees and shit so like 35 or less. EITHER way, cheapish. CAN NOT FUCKING WAIT! I get to see even more of my favorite bands. And in the coming years I will be seeing even more shows. OH FUCK YES.
