I Came Upon A Child Of God (upcoming concerts)

[Andrew_TSKS]

Oh, it wasn't you that saw that Sunn 0))) show where they got in a fight? Did someone else on here see it, or did I read about that somewhere else? Damn. I guess I'll never know now. Oops.

Oh, hey Andrew, found it:

So looks like I heard about it from you, and you heard about it on another board.

OK, true. Also, for anyone who wants to look at the thread that I linked to from said other board back then, that board has changed its formatting, so the link I posted two years ago won't work. This one will, though:

Frightened Rabbit. July 25. I'm pumped.

Oh hey, me too!

You kids will have fun, they were great here last night. Sold out house full of singer-alongers and merry makers, singing along and making merry.

Also, if you can, try to turn up early enough for Antlers, they're still opening the show in Massachusetts. They were pretty good with several moments of very goodness. And also a good match with Frightened Rabbit.

Now I'm EVEN MORE EXCITED! (Also jealous that mccabe would get to see The Twilight Sad, but I suppose I'll get over that.)

Finally got round today to getting my plane tickets to Australia for my rockin weekend.

Excited!

[YojimboMonkey]

Who all wants to go see Lucero in about 3 weeks?  They're playing Subterranean on a Saturday night and an open-air festival the next day along with Murder By Death, I think it ought to be a pretty good time, I'm bringing the whole Horde

hey my mates in Slug Guts are playing this, you should watch em. sorta swampy Birthday Party type business, loud as balls, shitloads of reverb, pointy shoes etc etc.

Thinking about going to see Born of Osiris in September, but they're playing with some bands I've never heard of.  Namely, All Shall Perish and After the Burial.  Anybody know anything about them?  I like the new BOO a lot, but I'd much rather not have to sit through two lackluster bands to get to the awesomeness.

[Andrew_TSKS]

All Shall Perish are fucking brutal, or at least they used to be. Basically hardcore kids playing death metal, but they do it well if you ask me. Haven't heard their latest album, though. It might not be as good.

Phoenix, 3 Aug.
I Heart Hiroshima, 21 Aug.
Lucksmiths, 26 Aug (their fourth last show ever).
Flip Out! Fest, 5 Sep.
Liam Finn + Eliza Jane, 18 Sep.
Sarah Blasko, 2 Oct.

Oh, so that's why I have no money.

So, I was going to go see Dinosaur, Jr in Lousiville this October until I realized fucking OS MUTANTES is playing a show in Atlanta on the same damn night.  So, NOW, me and my buddy are driving to Atlanta on that Friday to go see Os Mutantes, staying the night, and then going to see Dinosaur Jr. at the same venue the next damn night.  It sounds like two tons of fun and I simply cannot wait.  I've wanted to see Os Mutantes for YEARS, goddamn it.

Now, all I gotta do is sell this Louisville Dinosaur, Jr. ticket....

[donblood]

From what I've heard, Os Mutantes puts on an epic live show, and I've had "Panis et Circenses" stuck in my head all day, so you know I've got credibility.

They're one of my favorite bands of all time w/o exaggeration, so I cannot say how excited I am.  I just hope their set isn't loaded with stuff from their new album and nothing else (even though I really like that one song from it). 

[donblood]

Yeah, their first record is my favorite.

But no matter, you get to gaze upon Sergio's majestically hilarious face either way.

Just bought my $164.90 AC/DC ticket for January. Buying expensive tickets scared me even before the Who fiasco, now it's freaking me the fuck out. Unless I have an amazingly lucrative new job by January I doubt I could afford to replace a ticket if I lost one. Like they'd be any spares anyway, they had to add in an extra concert cos of the ticket stampede.

[mountmccabe]

In a bit I am going to the Phoenix Art Museum to see the season finale of the Downtown Chamber series.  They are playing a piano trio by Beethoven, a violin sonata by Debussy and a piano quintet by Brahms.  They do a season of five concerts, most in small art/performance spaces, but the finale is always at PAM because they have air conditioning!

Friday night I think I am going to the CD release show of Courtney Marie Andrews, a local folk artist.  I keep missing seeing her, though.

August 6 is Bowerbirds and Mega faun at the Rhythm Room, and then Thursday the 20th I might drive down to Tucson to see Los Campesinos!  The other show lined up for August is the 24th with Dungen and Woods.

OK, after some hemming and hawing I had decided that I was going to skip the Cool Kids gig next month because $20 is a little steep for them, in my humble opinion. However, Pitchfork tells me this morning that Clipse is the other band on the bill. That's a bit of a change in the landscape, I think.

Polvo's playing tonight.  There's a band I never saw in the day that has an album and an ep that's unlike anything else:  Today's Active Lifestyles and Celebrate The Dark New Age.

last year?  dang I have to get my Polvo ducks in a row, I had no idea they'd been playing anytime in like the last 10 years.

[Andrew_TSKS]

Yeah, though it's not the original lineup, just the two guitarists with a new rhythm section. I think that's right, at least.

I should probably go see them, even though I've heard varying reports about how well the reunited band captures the sound of the original. I saw the weird reconstituted version of Slint, after all (and enjoyed it).

[davy]

I need to revisit Polvo like soon. The only album I ever had was Exploded Drawing, and while I liked it fine, the only song to really hit home was "In This Life," which isn't even a song that gets talked about very much. Considering that Helium is one of my all-time favorite bands, I think I probably missed something the first time around.

[Andrew_TSKS]

"Today's Active Lifestyles" is the best one, though "Exploded Drawing" is pretty great.

[davy]

I once found a copy of their rare self-titled EP at a flea market and gave it to a couple friends as a wedding gift. I was pretty proud of that one.

[Andrew_TSKS]

Oh, that record has "Lull" on it. That might be my favorite Polvo song (if it isn't "Tilebreaker").

I don't know what the personal association is with Helium, but you nailed something for me - TAL (and Celebrate...) don't sound like anything else in the world to me, but the amazing first Helium ep, how off and unexpected it sounded (and sounds) is EXACTLY how those records sound really unusual for me, if not sounding anything like the Helium ep.  Nice.

[mountmccabe]

Ash Bowie actually didn't play on the first Helium EP (Pirate Prude) but he was there for everything else.


At any rate the modern Polvo has recorded an album of new material that is due in a month and a half.  I am interested to see how this turns out.

Also I prefer Exploded Drawing to TAL.  I am trying to explain why but I am blanking.
