Plus I love who is going to be playing with The Point.  Should be a ton of talent on one stage.

Fill me in . . . they have a Grupo guy who produced one record, right?  Who else?

EDIT:  never mind, I'm being stupid.  I read the bill wrong.  I thought those listed with The Point were playing separate sets.

Superfonicos are great!  Saw them two weeks ago at Meridian.  Beto is from Grupo Fantasma/Brownout/Money Chicha, I know Lluvii (have not seen her) has been making a name for herself lately.  I saw Touch Girl Apple Blossom about 1 1/2 years ago at a free show at Mohawk when they were just getting their feet wet.  Interesting to see how they've grown.

In the last week or so, Hans in Austin at Moody, Lisa Fischer and Orrin Evans at Birdland in New York the next night, and Isakov at Paramount.

Wico in San Antonio in May.  Just read Tweedy autobiography which was really good. If you missed it when it came out 8 years ago, and you don't know everything about them already, it's pretty good.

Going to try to sneak over there...

For those who don't know:

Wes Race Presents... The Alnico All-Stars (CD)

Really curious given who is involved.  Doubt Dylan Bishop will be there since I think he's off in New Mexico but we'll see.  

Have not found any footage from last night at the Continental Club

Hey... show was great!  Really need to catch more The Point for a proper show.  Also, Ben Buck sat in on a song for some masterful beatboxing.

I'll be at that Red Rocks show also.  Thursday night; I almost forgot he has two days at the venue.

April 23: Rufus du Sol in Dallas
April 24: Fontaines D.C. in Dallas
May 11: Beach House at The Factory in StL
May 14: Toro y Moi & Panda Bear at HoB Dallas
May 29: Lord Huron at Red Rocks

Rufus and Fontaines in Austin on the same day. Going with Rufus at the soccer stadium.  Saw Lord Huron with Kacey Musgraves at Moody Center.  Did not disappoint.

Yeah, Joe Roddy was very good HS trumpet player, and Jack M was basically a guitar prodigy even back into elementary school.

I’m about to drop some serious dollars to see LCD Soundsystem  at Emos on 4/24. 

Found a pair of $180 floor tickets for the 2nd Jack White show at ACL.  I don't think I'd find anything much cheaper than that.

concert prices have truly gotten out of control. ticketmaster trying to make us think it's normal to pay $150 for a ticket. was paying it for a while but i've finally started passing on some bands I would've otherwise seen. mmj is the most recent one...$219 pit tickets? fuck you. 

i paid $157 for the pit through their presale.  moody amp tix were also $70 more than the houston show, which has an all GA floor. for 3 shows my total for TM fees was $100.  

Edited by 4th&Five

i was in the mmj presale but got in a bit late. they must've been doing dynamic pricing on the pit tickets...which is complete horseshit. i was pretty excited when moody amphitheater was built but i can't say that i've enjoyed it very much for the shows i've seen there.  

Yeah, it’s up there with Stubb’s for me for least favorite. Unless you’re close it sucks and the bathroom situation is nasty. I went to a show at moody last summer and there was no AC or ventilation in the bathroom. It was impossible to be in there for more than 20 seconds without becoming drenched in sweat. Parking for both is usually a crapshoot too. 

Ticket prices have gone up a lot, but blame the artists and their agents, not Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster exists to take the blame for ticket prices with their "fees". Artists and their agents choose the prices though.

I paid $59 per ticket for MMJ this morning for the Houston show, so I can't complain, but I have no idea why they would be so drastically different between markets.

Going to see Daniel Donato in early February at a local club. I have been digging him of late.

Sunday’s show was just what I needed. Cosmic Country and a couple of mushroom chocolates. Opened with Rollin in My Sweet Baby’s Arms and proceeded to get more jam bandy than I usually prefer, but great fun nonetheless.

We went and saw Marty Haggard, here, in Granbury last night. He plays his dad's songs, but the best part is he tells the stories behind the song. He said he gets creeped out by certain songs like "My Favorite Memory". He was about 15 or 16, and the line "we made love in the hall and slept on the floor" was true. Apparently Merle and his third wife, Leona, (he married two different women named Leona) really did that, and Marty had to step over their naked bodies to get to the kitchen.

He sang the "Whole World Is Going to Pot". The story behind that was Willie called his dad and was playing at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe and wanted him to come over. They drove the 123 miles from their home , near Redding, to Tahoe. He said they went to the house that Harrah's had for the big name celebrities to stay in, and Willie had a silver platter with what must have been 1-2 pounds of some of the finest Weed known to man. He rolled a joint that was about like a Churchill cigar. He lit it and took a puff, and passed it to Merle, who passed it to Marty. Marty said that Willie immediately started rolling another one. Eventually they had three joints going around between them. He said the last thing he remembered was asking Willie why didn't he just roll three joints and let everyone have their own. He said it was the first and last time he ever smoked. He remembered sitting in Willie's living room, and the next thing he remembered was waking up in his bed, back in Redding.

Pulled the trigger on Russian Circles tickets at Mohawk.  They kicked ass at Levitation a few years back. 

I've got a bunch of shows lined up and can't stop myself from buying more tickets.  

2/25 Ty Segall and King Tuff (acoustic solo shows by both)

3/15  Cold Cave 

3/22 Wand

4/21 LA Witch & Daiistar

4/28 Teen Mortgage

5/10 Levitation Room

5/17 Cruel World Fest in Cali

6/6 Primus, Pucifer, & A Perfect Circle

9/14 Viagra Boys

 

I'm currently contemplating pulling the trigger on aftermarket tickets to see Fontaines DC with Amyl & the Sniffers in London 7/5.

 

Milwaukee Metalfest, with Down, Rotting Christ, Death Angel, 3 Inches of Blood, Paradise Lost, Necrot, Exodus, and a few more.  Metal, brats, beer. Repeat.

Alabama Shakes announced shows in austin, houston, and dallas in sept

 

I thought Moody Center was a bit big for them, so I looked at the available tickets.  They've sold MAYBE 15%-20% of the seats.  

I don't know who keeps putting these groups in way too large venues, but they need to give it up.  I know The Black Keys had to trash a whole tour because of this.

tried to grab some Sturgill Simpson tickets at Mission Ballroom this morning... no luck. i'll try resale in a few weeks, see what pops up...

but in the meantime, snagged some tickets to Jack White there! 😁 

we saw Black Pumas there... such a small intimate venue, <4000 capacity, great acoustics, should be an awesome experience! very excited 😄

Just got my tix for Paul Simon in April.  Based on what I saw on SNL, going in with low expectations.  Just glad to see him one last time.

I'll be at the show on the 4th.  Can't wait.

Last night I learned that the great Brooks & Dunn are opening up for douche nozzle Morgan Wallen these days.

Exhibit # whatever on the list of things that just don’t work right in the world today.

Maybe this should go in the getting old sucks thread.

Is "great" ironic?

Greater than Wallen for sure.

Yea. Brooks & Dunn is a legit great country band.

Neon Moon is as good as any country song anywhere. Others are plenty solid.

Well, a counterpoint.  Yes, it's populist heartstring pandering.  No, I have no idea if he actually believes what he's singing.  However, he cowrote it, and I've heard him sing it live, and Ronnie Dunn has massive vocal chops.  I'll leave it at that.

I'll be honest that I haven't thought much about Brooks & Dunn since I was going to local UT events with Mark Chesnutt and dancing to the likes of Dwight Yoakum and John Anderson.  It was a brief period in time for me but I still have my Red Wings.

I'm no fan of the duo, most of their music was shit, but that song surprised me.  I don't give a flip about scootin' boots or whatever.
