June 19, 20232 yr My brother made it out to Love & Rockets at ACL Live and said it was a fantastic show. Really wish I had gone but Mexico made up for it. Going to the Long Center Drop-in on Thursday to catch Annabelle Chairlegs and Jane Leo. I like listening to Annabelle's stuff... great sound. She was a good fit for the Psych Fest. Jane Leo has a cool 80's influenced electronic sound. They'll be playing at ACL.

June 19, 20232 yr Peter Gabriel at the O2 in London. Crushed @jimmyjazz’s favorite song about fucking. Red Rain stole the night for me but not unexpected. IMG_4534.mov IMG_4537.mov IMG_4539.mov IMG_4540.mov
June 21, 20232 yr On 5/22/2023 at 2:46 PM, Bottlecap said: Got pretty drunk friday night and decided I absolutely MUST go to The National's Homecoming, bought festival tix and a flight lol. Never been to cincinatti. I think i might end up there solo. They're not chucking solo brown guys into the river there too, right? RIGHT!? Anyone wanna join? Excited for The Walkmen reunion and Pavement, which was the deal sealer. But also, before COVID canceled the last scheduled Homecoming in 2020 they were supposed to play High Violet in full. Hoping they do a front-to-back set of something classic (hoping for HV obvs). They played Boxer in full for the 2018 homecoming. Stay at Hotel Covington if you can get a room
June 21, 20232 yr Picked up some extremely cheap tickets for noel Gallagher and garbage last night at a very empty COTA. Was never a big oasis fan and that set didn't do anything to change my mind. Garbage, however, was surprisingly good. Shirley Manson can still sing and had a great stage presence. Gallagher didn’t sell out Moody Theater a few years ago. It was a good show though. I was shocked they were booked at COTA.
June 21, 20232 yr Gorillaz have cancelled the Q2 show. No reason was given but the theory is ticket sales were so poor they didn’t want to play to an empty stadium.
June 22, 20232 yr I mean they just came thru austin in oct. Reason 1. Reason 2 was Ticketmaster wanted to charge me (and the stadium at large) more in service fees than the price of actual seats to take my fam of five to a stadium show. It would have been packed I’m sure but tix had to come down first. Edited June 22, 20232 yr by Bottlecap
June 25, 20232 yr Pixies tonight at Southside in Dallas. It was packed. At least two people were carried out: one during the first opener Bully and another during the Pixies set. I’m guessing the headcount was at capacity (1500?). Crowd had poor phone etiquette. Lots of people holding them above their heads. Bully was really good. I like their sound. Not into Franz Ferdinand but the lead singer really put a lot into the show. Pixies started strong and ended strong. Really glad they played Head On.

Pixies started strong and ended strong. Really glad they played Head On. Username checks out. I was at this show and first, it was a killer show. The Pixies are firing on all cylinders. I wonder how long they can do that, especially with some of the complicated drumming David Lovering has to pull off. I really liked the new stuff they played as well. As mentioned, Franz Ferdinand was great. It's really funny to see them put on a show in addition to rocking tight three minute pop songs, then compare it to Pixies and Frank Black who is roundly noted as saying "I am not a dancing bear." They have some music, they play it for you. Take it or leave it. Head On and Wintering were both killer. I've always loved their version of those. But on the whole, it was a strong set and I'd recommend anyone in Austin to check them out tonight. As noted though, goddam the cell phones. I felt like I was watching half the show through other peoples eyes. A pic or two, ok, I get it. Trying to record the whole damn show on your own? Fuck me. But I guess with a set list like that, damn near 3/4 of the show could be people just recording their personal Pixies favorite. I did notice that there was a pretty wide age range of people there, which is always cool.
June 25, 20232 yr I dig the slow version of wave of mutilation that they played. I was listening to Doolittle B sides on the way to the show and was enjoying the slow version. Glad they did that interpretation at the show.

June 26, 20232 yr Just back from the pixies in austinWe were way in the back so the sound sucked but had a breeze so it wasn’t hotI think I saw immamac while leaving the bathroom. Didn’t feel like asking but he looked like him from what I can tell lurking on this site
June 26, 20232 yr I totally slept on The Smile before diving in the last few weeks before the show. So glad I did. I was just a bit over all the various Thom side projects, but Thom + Jonny = very, very good stuff. Any Radiohead fans owe it to themselves to go see them. They're at ACL Live again tonight.
June 26, 20232 yr Anyone seen the Outlaw Festival this summer? It's in Dallas on Friday, but the lineup is so-so compared with who's playing on other legs of the tour. I may just go anyhow as it looks like the tix will be fairly cheap. Plus it's gonna be pretty hot. Still, Willie is 90 and I can never get enough of seeing him.

I want to before it’s too late. Also, looking forward to seeing Whisky Meyers. Suffering the heat is a badge of honor.

I've probably seen him a dozen times. But I try not to miss a chance. I've never seen Whiskey Meyers or Flatland Cavalry and it sounds like they're having a moment.

Headed to this with my daughter (no pix) who lives in Sherman. She "wanted to see Willie before he dies". I don't expect to see Willie for more than 20 minutes at most. Could be 110 F at the beginning of the show at 4:30 pm.

He's schedule to be on for an hour, which seems perfectly reasonable for a 90 year old man. Friday, June 30, 2023 Dos Equis Pavilion, Dallas, TX Willie Nelson and Family: 9:50 PM – 10:50 PM Whiskey Myers: 7:55 PM – 9:25 PM Flatland Calvary: 6:15 PM – 7:30 PM Brittney Spencer: 5:10 PM – 5:50 PM Particle Kid: 4:35 PM – 5:05 PM Doors: 3:00 PM I might make it for Flatland Cavalry as I've heard good things. But more likely I'd make it for Whiskey Meyers and Willie.
June 26, 20232 yr I appreciate the timeline. Gotta figure out timing to call it a day at work in conjunction with avoiding traffic as much as possible.
June 26, 20232 yr 1 minute ago, CycleTex87 said: That's good info, thanks Chad. Word. Straight from the Outlaw website. I just bought tix. They're selling for 49.50 (71.83 w/their bullshit fees) under the awning. I figure I'd pay that to see two bands most nights, and when one of them is a goddam living legend, why, it's a steal.
June 26, 20232 yr I bought a parking pass for like $50 for VIP parking, which turned out to be $75 with fees and taxes. SMDH.

June 27, 20232 yr the smile was excellent. i was general admission floor at moody, definitely cool to watch thom yorke and jonny greenwood in such a relatively small venue. lots of energy, cool light show, great musicianship. definitely glad i went, thom is a great performer.

June 29, 20232 yr Gonna see GA-20 this saturday. They're playing in this small jazz/blues club in Portland so it should be an intimate and badass show.

I saw them when they passed through Dallas. They played a small venue here. Probably 50 people in the audience. During one song, Faherty was jamming, walked through the crowd and up to bar. Kept playing, and hung around the patrons at the bar jamming away. Really entertaining stuff. Walked back through the audience and back to the stage and finished the song. They were at the merch table before and after the show. Chatting and taking pics with whoever wanted to come over. I got some vinyl and got it signed. You’re gonna have a great time. These guys put on a great show. Constantly chatting up the audience during their show.

I saw them previously when they opened for All Them Witches. I actually went to see them after hearing "Dry Run" last year. Very excited to see them in a tiny venue. I hope my experience mirrors yours. Thanks for sharing.
