Just saw Tegan and Sara last night which was amazing. They're so cute and funny and put on a great show.

Coming up:
Tomorrow: Olympic Torch celebration with a sweet local dance/pop band called Chris Hansen & The Autistics and a ukelele cover band called The Be Arthurs.
Jan 20th: Julie Doiron & Attack in Black
Feb 13th: Rural Alberta Advantage & The Wooden Sky
March 29th: Muse & Silversun Pickups

No. I'm seeing Slayer in a rescheduled gig in April over here so it should be all systems go.

Right on. I saw them once when I was 14, and I was supposed to see them again when I was 18, but it was the second show they ever canceled, because Tom was pissing kidney stones that night. So Hatebreed played for about an hour and a half.

Slayer have now cancelled their European dates but Sonisphere is still on which means Araya will have a bit more recovery time and not so much of a busy schedule over the summer. I hope they make it as I cannot wait for this gig.

Jan 17th - Andrew Jackson Jihad
February 20th - P.O.S. / Dessa / Grieves
April 22nd - Japandroids

Sometime in March is the Paid Dues hip hop festival, so I'll make that. Thinking about Coachella, and definitely waiting on Rock the Bells 2010.

I'd kill to see that first and third show.

Ah, to finally get out of Fiji and see some more gigs!
Might go to Soundwave again, heaps of crap bands of the line up surrounding the few lonely good ones.
In saying that, they're gonna be fun to see though.
Alexisonfire, Sunny Day Real Estate, Anthrax, Reel Big Fish, Meshuggah, The Gallows, The Weakerthan. Thats about it, and if AFI play any of their old stuff I'd probably check that out.

AND I think John Butler might be cruising around Australia again soon, so might have a gander!

If the gigs allow people my age in: AFI, Shpongle, and maybe Cymbals Eat Guitars.
