She really ripped it. New album doesn't have as many catchy tracks as some of her old stuff, but it really worked for her live show. It was my first time at the  Mohawk, great venue.

Kendrick Lamar concert at starplex tonight. Pretty pumped

Man I have tickets for tonight’s show in Austin but have to sell them because I have court this afternoon and wouldn’t be sure if I make it out in time for the 3 hr drive from Laredo.  Bummed is an understatement.

I hope SZA shows up for the Texas shows

I’m pretty sure she’s on the bill and I was looking forward to seeing her 2nd behind Kendrick. 

 

Ive got them on sale at Ticketmaster but if anybody from here wants I’ll drop the price. 

Going to see First Aid Kit in September.   Hot Swedish sisters that harmonize like angels - how is this a bad thing???? 

Took in Kenny Chesney last night at ATT Stadium. The show itself was great. Less of his older straight country and more of his “beach pirate” stuff, which I’m not afraid to admit I dig. But the Deathstar continues to be a terrible venue. Acoustics were awful.

 

Peter Hook and the Light at Mohawk on Wednesday. Bass player for Joy Division and New Order. Plays nothing but greatest hits from both bands. Oh hell yeah.

Bought tickets to Echo and the Bunnymen, coming to Houston in July

Went to Karbach on Saturday.  They had an ill-promoted chili cook-off, music fest, fundraiser thing.  Maybe it was because it was re-scheduled...but it was still on a Saturday.

Anywho...got to see Chris Robinson Brotherhood with about 200 other people.  It was great.

 

black angels playing passover in its entirety tonight at blues on the green.

I was about to post this. 

It'll be my daughter's first time seeing them so she's excited since it's one of her favorite bands.  I'm glad they'll be forced to play my favorite song...First Vietnamese War which they've never played in the dozen times I've seen them.

 

Buddy stood in line for 7 hours for Nine Inch Nails tickets and now has an extra. My procrastination pays off!

you can also purchase NIN tickets for all the shows online starting tomorrow.

i actually thought empire was the best song of the night. i also noticed there were several songs where he changed up the lyrics. definitely prefer seeing them in a small venue, but can't beat a free concert in zilker.  been a long time since i've been to blues on the green...like since it was over by the rock wall. holy shit it's a lot bigger these days. when we got back to our bikes there were some people whose bikes had been stolen, and at least one bike with both wheels gone.

I hadn't been to BOTG in 6 years. Paid for the parking on the polo fields so it was an easy walk. Got there at 7:30 and was surprised that we were able to walk right up and plop our chairs down 20 feet from the stage. There was tons of vacant space up there. Once the Black Angels came on it was standing room only though.  It is insane how big it has gotten since I last went. It was around 10,000 a night  6 years ago. It seemed to be a much, much larger crowd last night.

The sound was a bit shitty but it's BOTG. it's more of a social event.  My highlight was obviously TFVW but I loved the deep cuts like Empire and Call to Arms. Passover is great beginning to end.

yeah we had no problem getting up close. a lot of people actually started leaving about 20 mins into their set.

I saw him on the last tour, fantastic show. I'm going again on the 30th, Paper Tiger San Antonio.

I went to the Mohawk show last night.  It was great, as expected.  Hooky always delivers.  The crowd was kind of douchey, though.  Peter Hook had to single a guy out early on to be ejected ("You, in the hat there - you'll need to fuck off then").  I never understand why people think they need to mosh at a show like this.

No wonder the sound was bad.  Guitar tech forgot to plug his Les Paul in.

Going to Steely Dan and the Doobie Bros tonight in Sugar Land. 

Got tickets to see Jawbreaker at the Long Center July 13th. Also going to see the Jesus Lizard at ACL Live in September, which should be interesting but totally fucking awesome.

Kelly Willis on June 24 (Smiths Olde Bar, Atlanta)
Lake Street Dive on July 13 (Variety Playhouse, Atlanta)
Maybe Jason Isbell at Braves Stadium on Memorial Day after the game.  

 

Going to George Strait in a few days, first time to see the King so pretty excited. 

The Turnpike Troubadours - Saturday. Part of the Food Truck Championship of Texas. I've never seen them live, so pretty excited. 

Randy Rogers Band - June 15.

Got my tickets for these upcoming shows:

Beach Fossils at Mohawk

Phoenix at Stubbs

Johnny Marr at Empire Control Room

Wild Nothing at Mohawk

Kurt Vile at ACL Moody Theater

Grateful Dead Boulder

English Beat this summer

FloydFest late July multi day, multi act  weekend, in the hippie zone out in southwest Va.

Pink Martini October

Other assorted acts as they hit town the next 2 months

John Prine

Willie Nelson Outlaw Festival

Weezer/Pixies

I saw Phoenix is passing through.  I'll probably try to catch that.

Then round it all out standing in Zilker drinking beer and having a wander.

 

Got my tickets to Camp Cope/Petal at Barracuda on July 12. I went to Red 7 a few times but I don't think I've been since it changed hands. Very pumped, at the moment Camp Cope is probably top 3 on my list of current bands I haven't seen but want to. Don't know why they're not headlining, but Petal's perfectly fine too.

Car Seat Headrest at the Fillmore in July.

Seeing Stephen Malkmus and Amen Dunes in August. 

Might see Beach House for SubPop's 30th Celebration because their music finally clicked for me after 7 but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Was supposed to see Brian Wilson perform Pet Sounds a couple weeks ago.  Postponed till Nov.  Not sure I'm holding  my breath.

The Eagles June 17th (great show)

Chris Stapleton tonight

Billy Ray Cyrus June 29

Def Leppard/Journey July 7

Came up to Lake Tahoe with the Mrs for our anniversary yesterday for the weekend. Had no idea Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters are playing across the street tonight. Jumped all over that.

It's gonna be a 80s kinda weekend. I have The Go-Gos, all 5 original memebers, Thursday night, then Devo headlining a small festival type show Saturday.

Had a massive crush on Jane Weidlin back in the day. Say hi for me.

Going to see the Avett Brothers on Saturday at Red Rocks. My first time there. Pumped.

RR is the shizzle indeed. But the 8 billion stairs you have to climb to get there are a beating. But worth it.
