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? Definitely Taj Mahal, The Struts and maybe Leon Bridges.

January 18, 20232 yr That's a nicer run than the East Coast by far. Nothing like the sludge grind of the East Coast. Ugly beaches and feral looking, pasty people. I love it, but I don't like nice things.

Confirmed one of the founding members of the band grew up next door to my friend’s family and is a year older than his twin girls. Unless you like the Kansas City Chiefs, avoid The Tavern when they are playing. Other than that, it was great being back to a bar I went to so often between 96 and 03 that I’d get invited to the employee Christmas party.
January 22, 20232 yr New Pornographers coming to Texas in April. Sweet!https://thenewpornographers.com/#videosSolid, just nabbed tickets for the Austin show
January 23, 20232 yr Will be in Minneapolis in April and I saw one of the nights I am there RHCP are playing so I grabbed a ticket to go check them out. Seen them once before about 10 years ago.
January 23, 20232 yr This looks promising: Of course everybody's old at this point. Edited January 23, 20232 yr by Mdhorn
January 23, 20232 yr Going to see Noah Kahan with Jack Van Cleaf at Emo's this weekend. My 18 yo daughter (no pics) bought us tickets for Christmas. I'd never heard of either, but she play Kahan on spotify one day at the house and its about my speed. Mostly excited about spending the evening with my daughter enjoying a show that she picked out for us. More mostly excited that she didn't pick Taylor Swift or Harry Styles for us.

I've only heard "Stick Season" on Sun/KUTX, but if that's an indication of Noah Kahan's facility with words, I'm going to be digging in more. That song is like a folk Eminem. (Only half joking.)

Going to a show with your kid is a cool experience. Took mine to a couple when he was in maybe 5th or 6th grade. We saw Stick Figure in a small (all ages) show in deep ellum and Matisyahu at southside ballroom.
January 26, 20232 yr satuday is excellent, rest of the days don't do much for me. after being forced to sit through yves tumor opening for NIN 3 times i hope to never see them again.

Looks like I'm going with a bunch of Sigma Phi Omegas lol.
January 28, 20232 yr My lovely wife has been hounding me about being more “intentional” in my parenting of our 14yo daughter. So, I’m taking her to see Harry Styles in Palm Springs this week. Prayers are appreciated. 😂

January 29, 20232 yr If you were a fan of Banana Blender Surprise or The El Orbits, David Beebe will be in Austin from Marta and will be at The Hole in the Wall on February 22nd. Meanwhile last night at the Jackie Venson show...

Opening act was alright. Noah Kahan, though, put on a hell of a show. High energy, great lyrics, and a variety of instruments including banjo and mandolin. Would have been better if I had known the songs, but very enjoyable. My daughter had a great time. I am now convinced, though, that I am too old for general admission. Standing for four and a half hours is not my jam any longer.

Found her during lockdown on social media and have been looking forward to seeing her. Her new album all sounds the same to me - she could have stopped after the 1st 2 songs and moved on. She's at her best when she's really jamming out and playing guitar like a boss, so the 2nd half of the show was better, imo.

That's how I found her... she has a particular sound for sure that tends to resonate throughout many of her songs but, yeah, second half when she really let loose was for sure amazing.
January 30, 20232 yr Yeah, I like Jackie's music, but I'm not over the moon for it. I mean, it's not fair to anyone to say "well, you're not SRV or Duarte", so I get my high bar to clear. She's a very good player and she's shrewd. (And, I found out my daughter's band will be earlier on the bill that Jackie is headlining for Austin Music Awards, so I'll finally see her live.)
January 31, 20232 yr That Strat looks almost exactly like my Warmoth partscaster, right down to the slight metal flake in the paint. Looks like her bridge pickup might not have the typical angle, though? Edited January 31, 20232 yr by jimmyjazz
January 31, 20232 yr Margo Price at Scoot Inn Friday. Going to be cold as fuck but hopefully worth it.
January 31, 20232 yr GF in town from Boston this weekend. What should we go see Friday or Saturday? Preferably indoors... willing to travel ~1.5 hours from Austin if necessary.
January 31, 20232 yr Pixies, Franz Ferdinand, Bully in Dallas. I’m so fucking in. Same lineup coming to Moody on Sunday.

February 2, 20232 yr Bought GA tickets for New Order in Dallas (The Factory) on Saturday and got back in for the venue presale today to see about reserved tickets upstairs. Holy fuck -- $300 per ticket, $350 along the rail. After refreshing quite a few times, and seeing a buddy get two upstairs for $650 total, I tried again just to see. I got the option to buy two on the rail with a total bill of $774.76. You've got to be fucking kidding me! I paid $198 for the two downstairs this weekend and didn't feel like having nearly $1000 in NO tickets in hand. Oh, and LCD Soundsystem is coming to Grand Prairie in June as part of Re:SET Festival. I'm in!
February 2, 20232 yr Yeah. The price for the New Order tix in Dallas are a non-starter. I mean I like them but come the fuck on.

I'm a complete fucking NO/Joy Division fanboy who has never seen them live. I passed about a decade ago when they rolled through because Peter Hook was no longer with the band. I must see them once before I shuffle off this mortal coil. But I ain't paying $300+ per ticket for upstairs and will just slum it with the plebes down below.
