I don't think we've had one of these threads for a while soo...


talk about concerts!!! what you're going to see, what you want to see, what you've recently seen, etc.

for me:

March-

asobi seksu (i really want to go to this but its on a tuesday so i most likely can't go on the bus because of class and i'm really sad!! last time they played here i wasn't 19 and couldn't find a suitable id in time).
a-trak
the gaslight anthem (going to miss cut copy/matt&kim for this)
ariel pink's haunted graffiti
junior boys
belle orchestre

April -

andrew bird
the faint
acid mothers temple
black kids
appleseed cast

May -

Animal collective ((part of the) birthday present from the gf, got it before they all sold out)
the national

there's a site that lists out all the concerts that are announced, and a lot of them (like animal collective) do sell out. tbh i wasn't planning on buying those ac tickets until at least march or so but once my girlfriend saw they started selling out in a lotta places she panicked and snatched two tickets right away. 

I won't be buying national tickets until way later or until they start selling out, but i most likely will go anyway.

idk i got opeth tickets like 6 months in advance with cynic and the ocean opening for them and guess what

the motherfuckers canceled it ON THE DAY OF THE GIG (åkerfeldt was sick heh)

but i saw opeth a week and half ago and it was fucking sweet, great set and they were p.funny liked it a lot.

as for gigs im going to see um there's not much, sisters of mercy in next month, this will destroy you possibly in april cuz i got a few pals going there and then iamx in may. hopefully gonna go see gojira, neurosis and some other cool m*tal bands in june.

we don't get too many good gigs here unfortunately.

I don't usually buy tickets beforehand unless it's a band I really want to see or I know that there's a possibility it's going to sell out. On the other hand, I do buy tickets early if my money situation is looking good because otherwise I might end up not being able to afford it later. If I'm going to a concert and I know it months beforehand, it's very likely I can make it.

if anything, i'm always going to buy tickets in advance now.

my girlfriend went to nyc last week and was going to hit up fujiya&miyagi (who's fanbase apparently consists of really old stylish yuppies?, or so the whole lineup consisted of them), and checked out if there were tickets like an hour in advance and it said you could buy them at the door and that there are still tickets left. when she got there the bouncer laughed at everyone who didn't buy the ticket and said there were no more (there's a whole story of her trying to sneak in by saying she was someone on the guestlist (desperation) but it's too long to tell here).

microbiology exam, peace out

I wouldn't mind going to see De La Soul when they play here.

I have a Senses Fail concert I'm going to Friday. They're playing with a few other bands that I really haven't heard of. Except for Hollywood Undead, which is kind of not that good hardcore rock rap. Senses Fail rraarrr.

Sunday March 8, Modest Mouse. I saw them last year at the Miami Beach Fillmore, but this show they're playing at Revolution, which is general admission so I'm gonna come early and grab a spot as close to the stage as I can. I had a little trouble deciding between seeing these guys or Deerhunter and Girl Talk the same night. I think Modest Mouse is the better show.

Taste of Chaos is sometimes later this March too. It's headlined by Thursday, but I'm really excited to see Bring Me The Horizon and Four Year Strong, I've been jamming a lot to their music recently.

And then even later this March is A Day To Remember with Devil Wears Prada and a couple of other hardcore bands. It's busyyyyy.

And maybe Animal Collective later this June. I'm not totally sure because I really liked Strawberry Jam, but I think it was just a phase because I just don't like to listen to them as much anymore. But idk, might be worth seeing them I guess. I was planning to see a Matt & Kim show but eehhhhh. I really only liked Daylight and Yea Yeah off the two albums. :/

hahaha i would never be so excited for fujiya and miyagi tickets. I even tried to explain them to my friend and he looked like he wanted to hit me by the end and 2 b honest...

i kind of felt a little ashamed.

no see they are these british guys who...who like japan...

yeah i told her she should've gone to see leonard cohen that night instead.

i'm more surprised at the fact that their fanbase isn't college kids but 30-year olds??
