Concerts and Live Music
« on: June 08, 2013, 05:07:44 PM »
From rock shows to opera, from the coffee shop to a stadium, let's talk about concerts and shows!

Summer is here in the UK which means that festival season is kicking off and the choice of shows to catch is mind numbing. 

So far I've only booked my tickets to the Forum to catch Clutch, but I've got my eye on a few other tickets around London.

Who's seen a good show lately?

I like the looks of the venue... looks like a posh Forum!  I don't know Shpongle, but a quick listen tells me I should check 'em out.  And there would still be time to grab a ticket!!

There may be tickets left. They are superb. Raja Rams is a genius (eccentric though) and the other guy, Simon Posford formed 'Younger Brother, another superb group.

All of the Shpongle albums so far are absolutely stunning.

Pity it'll be impossible for me to reach it at that time, I'm a fan of their sound.

Maybe at least there will be a new album...

Anyway, an album can't capture the vibe completely, no matter how well it is done - the feel of the live set is made of much more than just sound.

Sphongle is quite the experience. I saw them a couple of years ago at the Fox in Oakland. We all walked out of there wondering "what the FUCK did we just watch". It reminded me of that Cirque Du Soleil scene in Knocked Up when Paul Rudd and Seth Rogan are on shrooms.

It's been a while since I've been to a show around here. I saw the Brad Mehldau Trio about 3 weeks ago at Yerba Buena, which was enjoyable as always.

Shows I have lined up so far:

Father John Misty and White Fence at The Fillmore
Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake at Candlestick
Postal Service and Divine Fits at the Greek
Bob Dylan / Wilco / My Morning Jacket at the Shoreline
Ty Segall at Great American Music Hall
Godspeed You! Black Emporer at Great American Music Hall
Local Natives and Wild Nothing at The Fox
Vampire Weekend and Beirut at the Hollywood Bowl

Pitchfork Festival in Chicago
Outside Lands Festival at Golden Gate Park
Treasure Island Festival at Treasure Island

Was thinking about checking out that First City Festival in Monterey in August, but they just announced a My Bloody Valentine show that weekend.

Just flew to Seoul this weekend to catch SNSD's Girls & Peace Tour. The Korean pop scene, or at least the concerts under SM Entertainment, have explosive and interactive live shows. Absolutely met my expectations, well worth the trip for me.

I just booked for Motörhead in November.  Who knows how long Lemmy will be around!?

Looks like Savages has joined the QOTSA tour as support in the fall. Should be a great show.

Queens are playing the iTunes festival here, but I figure the chances of me getting the tickets are pretty slim.  I'll give it a shot though!  They are also playing a little record store gig, but that sold out in like 1 minute.
