December 12, 20223 yr Fillmore Philly balcony is clutch. I don't mind crowded floors, but I can't be showing up 30 minutes before the opening act and trying to keep my spot for 2-3 hours. Plus my wife is short so if she's gonna see we have to upgrade to a seat upstairs. Wish I lucked into tix to War on Drugs at tiny Johnny Brenda's, that will be incredible

December 12, 20223 yr Saw golden dawn arkestra at the paramount on Saturday. They had dancers and aerialists and a whole big show. Not sure about the floor, but the balcony was maybe 1/4 full and was an all out drug fueled dance party. Good times.

Paid like $240 for each, would sell for less. Damn snowstorm preventing us from going - I’m so angry. Have listed for resell on live nation but can remove if still unsold Edited December 14, 20223 yr by The Ace of Aces
December 14, 20223 yr Foals are a great live band. I know what I’d choose. Ha ha ha. I’ve seen Foals several times, they are one of my favorites. Easy decision.
December 14, 20223 yr Waiting on this Postal Service pre sale: Saw MM at the 9:30 last night. I even managed to get my old ass down on the floor. Slammed, went very hard Edited December 14, 20223 yr by Bateshorn
December 14, 20223 yr Checking back in to say The Smile was definitely worth seeing. Apparently, Thom and Jonny came out and met with fans and signed shit after the show.

December 15, 20223 yr Holiday Pops was great! Esoteric was good. Looking at tickets for Billy Strings at Moody in June. Have never been there. Are all the seats good? Where would y'all recommend sitting?
December 15, 20223 yr i would recommend being in the pit or preparing for bad sound. sight lines are fine from everywhere.
January 1, 20232 yr He wasn’t at this last show in Austin, but I think he did other shows on this tour.
January 1, 20232 yr Going to Hell's Heroes at the White Oak Music Hall in Houston in late March. I'm not familiar with the area - what's that part of N. Main St. like? The 5-minute walk to the nearest hotel is a) perfectly safe, b) a death wish, or c) ok with a group of other metalheads?
January 2, 20232 yr He wasn’t at this last show in Austin, but I think he did other shows on this tour. He was diagnosed just a couple of weeks ago. Go to the doctor, people.

January 3, 20232 yr Gonna see my girlfriend play this friday 1/6 with her Merle Haggard cover band, Gerle Haggard, at Mississippi Studios in Portland. She's a violinist. Here's a pic because rules. Got tickets to see Budos Band 2/18 at Roseland Theater and White Denim 3/3 at Wonder Ballroom.

I hate it but they have the best booker in town so I go. Oregon is fucking weird in that they separate those that drink from those that don't. So, if you want a beer, you have to go upstairs. The capacity upstairs is just over 300 people. Usually the line to get upstairs wraps around the inside of the venue. One out one in. Plus, no bathroom up there so if you need to go you have to get back in line again. Who are you going to see? Viagra Boys on 3/3?

January 9, 20232 yr BottleRock just announced the 2023 lineup. Looking forward (at first glance) to RHCP, Duran, Pumpkins, Wu, Sheryl Crow, Japanese Breakfast, Mike Campbell, Los Lobos, and War. Any recommendations on the rest of the lineup?
January 10, 20232 yr Airborne Toxic Event puts on a really good show. Saw them in Dallas at House of Blues last year.
January 12, 20232 yr I really like Leon Bridges work with Khrungabin (Sp?) not sure about live. Billy Strings kicks ass. Particle Kid is Willie's son (Micah). I'd probably check out Caamp and Lizzo as well.
January 13, 20232 yr We bought tickets to one of Jackie Venson's shows at Antone's. She has a residency going on there for the month of January. Anyone else going?

January 13, 20232 yr Saw this on the I Miss Liberty Lunch Facebook group and was like holy shit. Has any club ever had a better 4 week run of bands?
January 14, 20232 yr I was at one of the Sugar shows, can't remember which one. I know I saw DinoJR at Liberty Lunch, but I'm thinking it was a weekend run where I also saw 10K Maniacs and They Might Be Giants (which was one of the most insane weekends of my life).

Pop Will Eat Itself. That would have been awesome!
January 16, 20232 yr I'm a little reluctant to keep talking about the band, but somebody filmed a bunch of that show on Friday and along with what's clearly iphone footage cobbled together a pretty cool video:

Die Spits is one of the bands I have had on my radar but haven's seen yet. Girl Punk band that fits into my old Club Foot days music profile. Heck at first I just liked the name. It's not my wife's cup of tea, so I may shoot you a PM and see if you are at the gig I try to go to. Starting to get into my Spring music push. Finally saw Carolyn Wonderland and Shelly King at an early Tuesday continental club show. They seem to have had a monthly on and then off residency there. Anyhow they were great together, not only killer music but a good show. Highly recommended, and at a 6:30 slot it's what I call "geezer hour!" Also hooked up with my "captain Kurt" from my old club foot and soccer days and saw Love and Chaos for an early 6:00 show at Saxon. AJ Vallejo and his wife? in a band that leans a bit more into the country side but still ripped. Then we walked down to High Ball as saw "The Saddle Sores" and some folks enjoying dancing to them. I just liked the name but the band was good even though country is not my preferred genre. The big show for me was Alejandro Escovedo and the Rant Band at Continental last night. It was fucking great. They played the Paramount with a tribute to Mott the Hoople, playing the Album Mott from start to finish. Since I loved Mott the Hoople and love Alejandro it was a nice mix of songs and I always enjoy the Continental. Jeff Beck's recent passing reminded me of how old Alejandro is getting and how much I missed his SXSW closeout shows every year on Sundays. I'm gonna cry when that fucker goes. Go out and see a band in a small venue! Support the young bands! Nothing better than seeing a young up and comer in a club, when in a few years later they are playing arenas...
January 16, 20232 yr I think I would like to see Die Spitz and The Viagra Boys on the same bill. I heard this Viagra Boys song, and they also have opened for Amyl and the Sniffers.

January 16, 20232 yr @horn4life that Viagra Boys video is awesome. Why have I never heard of them? It sounds like what you'd get if Ray Wylie Hubbard and Alejandro Escovedo dropped acid and tried to start a stoner-punk band with homoerotic undertones.

The new guy transplant that DJ's on Sun Radio played this tune and I fell in love with it. It's sort of my personal party anthem now, (without the IV drug use!). And yeah the video was not at all what I expected, something DIFFERENT!

January 17, 20232 yr Saw the Viagra Boys last year I think. Meh, and I really liked their music. Haven't listened to them since. They're very small roomish--if you get a chance. Think they're playing bigger places now. Looking forward to seeing Titus Andronicus. Edited January 17, 20232 yr by Mdhorn
January 18, 20232 yr Just bought tickets to Iron and Wine at at joes church in Galveston. It’s an awesome venue. Built in 1859, it’s the oldest German Catholic Church in texas and amazing place to watch music. super excited https://www.galvestonhistory.org/news/iron-and-wine-at-the-1839-st-joesphs-church
