Went to the "leaving town" party for Cindy Toth (The Reivers, Flying Saucers) last night at Opal Divine's.  The WIld Seeds absolutely killed it, and Pocket Fishrmen were mayhem-inducing as usual.  My old man dad band got to play a set, too, with my daughter sitting in on vocals and making us sound not so shitty.

I'm a little foggy this morning.

Final KISS tour?  Where have I heard that before?

KISS is the mattress store of rock bands.

gene Simmons sucks 

Went to the old 97s last week. Smallest venue I've ever seen them in. Maybe 200 people max. Great show as usual. Played a bunch of their older hits. Good time. 20230323_211523.thumb.jpg.2d1e900b90b41b260e560a96281dc0af.jpg20230323_205733.thumb.jpg.3a252071d417f92fb2e83a66e7c33482.jpg

Not as far as I know.  We could not be lazier.

Holy fuck. Houndmouth is fucking great live. Best show I’ve seen in a while. Great crowd. Singing along to every song.

It was my 3rd time seeing them and they are excellent each time. They play great music and they seem to genuinely have a ton of fun being on stage.

That's gotta be the worst band name for a good band . . . ever.

Saw them on this tour in ‘95. First big tour after the release of Trace. What’s really cool is 12 days earlier I saw Wilco after their debut album at the same venue.

That's awesome. I was much, much later to the Son Volt/Wilco party than most. Saw Wilco three or four times and I wasn't even really a fan, kept getting dragged by my ex-wife's group. Now they're a top five band for me all these years later. Son Volt played the Lake Highlands Octoberfest in 2021 and it was awesome. I wish I could go back in time and catch Uncle Tupelo. A good buddy of mine here in town went to Mizzou in the early 90's and saw them all in tiny clubs in St Louis and Columbia.

Went to see Eric Johnson at the Paramount last night. Still the God Standard for Austin home grown Guitar Players.

I think the first time I saw Eric was with the Electromagnets in the early 70’s. I might have seen him before that at the “Teen Club” at Bergstrom AFB. Always admired his style, just a pure sound, with his fingers effortlessly dancing up and down the neck, very chill… the way Austin used to be.

I have had the joy of seeing EJ many times over the years, including 3 times at the Paramount. Eric Johnson is what Mozart would have sounded like if he had access to a Stratocaster, “…too many notes…more than the mind can comprehend? …”

Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover 1984

 

Headed west for this show at the end of the month:

I was really impressed with Old Crow Medicine Show. Had already seen the Troubadours but we were in town for Toto and Journey the night before and found tickets to this show for $9. Glad we stayed and went

That’s a great venue. Saw Isbell there a few years ago.

venue ?

Flatland Cavalry yesterday at the annual Crawfish and Cannons event at Ft. Belknap. 
 

The band was great. This was the first time I have seen them live. 
 

If any of you are ever in the North Central Texas area on the second Saturday in April, I highly recommend attending Crawfish and Cannons.

Houndmouth show was fucking great! Prob seen em 5 times now. 

Was looking at the absurd prices for Tears for Fears at the Moody Center... 2023 Tears for Fears, not 1986 Tears for Fears.  F that.  I'm to the point that any show at the Moody Center is an immediate "pass"

Nah I'm cool with ACL Fest.  Wait, totally different topic.   Ohhhh... but hey, "inside info".  Love it.  

On a side note, just bought tickets to Psychedelic Furs at ACL Live.

It’s looking very likely I won’t have to travel to see my favorite band this year. That will be a nice change.

because they aren't touring? or are there pj austin rumors?

Should be announced soon. 9/18 at Moody with a possible second date the next night. FW also on the schedule.

That’s great news. We dropped $1k per ticket to see PJ in OKC for the may 2020 show. Pandemic set it back to sept last year. Wife couldn’t go because of work. She’s been giving me shit about it ever since.

In other news, cloud nothings and wavves are doing austin and ft worth on mon and tues june 26 and 27, respectively.

I loved his houston show. He had me singing 

Bought Rainbow Kitten Surprise for Irving on 11/4 today. Seeing them this Saturday in Charleston at High Water too.

Super super pissed that I am going to miss a show because I will be out of town.  Love & Rockets coming to Austin in June!!!!!

Love and Rockets add lots more North American tour dates, including NYC

Damn, I need to get tix for that.  I was never into the whole Bauhaus thing, but I loved Love & Rockets.  So many great songs.

Scrolling through Gametime, I came across Wilder Woods with Abraham Alexander as the opener at a small venue in Dallas.

Watched a couple youtubes of them; they seem intriguing. Most have like 100+ views on youtube. I can’t imagine them being well known.

Price for the show is $71. I can’t imagine why the price would be much north of $30. Is there something I’m missing here?

AA’s cover of Issac’s Wicked Game is intriguing.

 

saw brooks nielsen at antone's last night. think i'm probably the only growlers fan here...he played about half growlers and half from his solo record. really enjoyed the new band and the reworked growlers songs. didn't love his solo record at first but it's grown on me, and those songs were way better live. 

Found our Hippie Sabotage will be at ACL.  Apparently they are total dicks in concert.

Dickie's?

I got a bunch of floor tickets to arctic monkeys at dickies.  looking to swap two for two on the floor at moody.

Yes, Dickies. Before Austin.
