I would love to get over to the Beacon theatre but not sure that I can pull it off. I have a bunch of Arcade Fire shows (whole east coast swing?) of course. Philly and Bridgeport Ct. start it off in a Couple of weeks. St. Vincent is intriguing....

Here is a local review of the St. Vincent show at Terminal 5

Star-Ledger Review of St. Vincent (Terminal 5 NYC)

I've seen her a few times now...her shows are definitely different. The only sad part is that she can't play any of her oldest stuff because the instrumentation is too complex to do on a tour (or so she's said), so she sticks pretty much strictly to the newer stuff.

I made sure to get my tickets to the local show before the new album came out, just in case she blows up. It seems every album she releases gets more hype than the last.

Take this FWIW, though, I'm a St. Vincent fanboy like Pik is an Arcade Fire fanboy. She never misses the mark for me.

June 19 - Widespread Panic

 

[rockaction]

Motorhead at Coachella

"We are Motorhead and we're gonna clean your clock."

I've seen them six times starting with their first tour in England. Last time was a couple years back in Minneapolis. Definitely will be going again if they tour here in '14.

Saw them in D.C. a long time ago. When they launched into "Bomber," I was thrilled.

Mogwai, May 10th

Have to decide between Kermit Ruffins and the NSO doing Beethoven's 1 & 2 tomorrow night.

i've never seen Drive-by Truckers live, are they a good live band?

 

[Rockchild]

Black Sabbath in April. No Bill Ward but should be good anyway. I know Ozzy is losing his chops but to see him with Geezer and Iommi will be good. I've heard the shows are good so I'm excited.

Haven't completely ruled out doing Squamish again this year. It's so ####### beautiful up there. Kinda waiting to see what lineup Outside Lands rolls out with, which is the same weekend. Will probably come down to factoring lineup and my $ situation by the end of summer. Way cheaper for me to camp at Squamish than get a hotel in SF.

Will definitely be down for beers if I make the trip though. Attended solo last year and everyone I met was really friendly. Would be fitting if I met up with another FBG, seems like most of the shows I have tickets for this year are cornholes.

Arcade Fire with Stu

Hold Steady with Stu

Bonnaroo with Tasker

Know anyone with an extra? Both 9:30 Club shows and Richmond are already sold out. FML.

May 2 - Cage The Elephant, Foals, J Roddy Walston & the Business (free show )

[JB Breakfast Club]

Sixto Rodriguez tickets go on sale tomorrow. Mixed reviews last tour...tempting...gotta sleep on it.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Lucero ####in killed it. I wasnt sure if Ben Nicholls was goin to refuse a shot or not. Stripped it down to just him & 1 other band member for a handful of songs mid-set, and in retrospect it was a great time to go for that. Anytime Lucero plays near me, Im in. They were great.

 

[simey]

Going to see Yarn Saturday. I won't be able to make the Merlefest this year, but will catch Willie Nelson and Alison Krauss/Union Station w/ Jerry Douglas, and guests The Devil Makes Three the following weekend.

Malkmus

Coachella

The NMH show was unbelievable. I've seen Mangum solo before but the full band was fantastic. Scott Spillane and (especially) Julian Koster are a trip to watch play. If you're a fan and have never seen them I'd urge you to catch them on this tour. Who knows when Mangum may go AWOL again.

 

[Mohawk]

No extra tix for the Alabama Shakes. I was online when they went on sale and they sold out in like 10 minutes!

Saw Tinariwen in Philly a couple weeks ago, and they rocked the house. If you don't know them, check this out.

This is one of the do not miss tours of my lifetime. No exaggeration. Just a tremendously potent show. One highlight after another, but the Ruby Bulbs>Snow Song Pt. 1 and THB, Pt 2 stand out. I was also impressed with how cohesive the Untitled was.

 

[Bucky86]

Saw the Fitz and the Trantrums last night. Great show. Haven't had that much fun at a concert in a long time. Non-stop dancing and everyone having a great time. Recommend.
