Nice. Never Seen Rainey live, but Laubrock is mindblowing.

The Roscoe Mtchell solo concert next friday has been cancelled.
Damn.

Is there anyone who would recommend catching any of the bands on the list? Our local fest has had a pretty sweet lineup the last few years despite being so small (Cloud Nothings, Dillinger Esc. Plan, Danny Brown, Of Montreal, etc.) but this year the lineup appears to be pretty weak. The only band I really wanted to see if Voivod but of course it's 19+ and I'm not turning 19 until December, so I'm SOL on that one.

Hey! I've been there! Sounds like you've had some great line-ups as well I'm impressed.

Not sure if "Hey Rosetta" is supposed to be Rosetta, but definitely see them if it is. As for the others... Pup, Holy ****, and Nap Eyes are good but I have no idea about any of the others. Maybe try looking up some of them. How much are tickets?

No idea how much tickets are. I was thinking about catching Nap Eyes because I liked their last album and they're from the area, Holy **** would be a decent show too. Unsure about PUP just because they're doing a solo show here a month later and that would probably be better anyway.

Still need to look into tickets, but I seem to remember them being pretty cheap last year.

$100 for a bunch of no-names?

Last night I went to a August Burns Red concert. The opening band, Make Them Suffer, wasn't that good. The second band, Silent Planet, was ****ing amazing! But they were super preachy, which just takes away from the music. Plus the lead singer was corny as hell. Third band, Erra, was generic Metalcore. They had one guy who screamed and one guy who sang. They guy who sang had such a high pitched voice that he sounded like he hadn't hit puberty yet. Then August Burns Red came on! And I have never seen a lead vocalist sweat so much in my life. His shirt was dry when he came out and Completely soaked by the time he left the stage. That said, the guy was so energetic and put so much into the performance that it was worth every penny.

All of the good shows are 19+... ffs :(

:(

(fake IDs breh)

But seriously, what's even the point of making a venue 19+?

I just saw Being As An Ocean and The Amity Affliction on Tuesday, and I'm trying to go to Crown The Empire, blessthefall, and New Years Day on November 21st.
There's a couple more I haven't decided on yet bc I don't really like the bands that much but I want to start being more active in the scene.
And I'm going to an album release party for Reve in November.

They don't want asshole 18 year olds in there so that's why they make it 19 like one year is going to make that much of a difference.

Also if you went to that festival, Qeoiuplkd. Keys N Krates are a must see.

The drinking age here is 19, that's why it's 19+

Not exactly the case at all. They base is off of the drinking age in said country where the venue is located. You can't have below 18/19 year olds in a venue if there's an open bar. It's against the law.

Where are you?

Canada

Yeah yeah I wasn't thinking international.

I always thought it was 18 in Canada. Did they change it recently?

Nope. It's 18 in Quebec, Alberta and Manitoba though.

It means open bar.

Open bar means it's free.

Which some venues offer, at least ones I've been to.

Wha... venues with ACTUAL open bars? I have never heard of this.

It was a friends album sale concert, maybe that's just an exception.

Yeah I'd say so. If venues started doing open bars then they'd be out of business in a month. Sure ticket sales would shoot through the roof, but the amount of money they'd lose to frat raids and homeless people who'd managed to collect $20 in nickels would be astronomical.

That's true.

Open bars for concert cruises.

But who wants to go to a concert on a cruise?

"Hey, everybody! It's the OTHER half of Hootie and the Blowfish. I think it's the Blowfish. Whichever one isn't a black country artist now. Give 'em a big hand!"

Musicians – ShipRocked

I think Shiprocked would be pretty cool.

In theory? Yes. But when the headliners include Sevendust, Alter Bridge, and Papa Roach? I'm good.

That lineup makes me want to jump off a bridge.

Jesus Christ. I thought the name was all the cringe I could take but then I saw the set list.

I wonder if they hold it in Rocktober.

I don't get the big deal. They're all decent enough artists that put on fun shows.

No.



Also, you just hit 2k posts.

I'd rather get drunk on tequila and use those bands as gay experiments than listen to their music.

Yeah, they range from decent to pretty damn good that lineup.

You forgot Breaking Benjamin though!

Also that lineup is awesome.

I think that's the first time I've seen 3 posts in a row where I agree with every post. :laughing:

The Charles Gayle Trio will play here next month.
Gotta see that one.
