BBVD is the second or third rescheduling due to COVID, but who's counting?

Maybe this one in Sept. Might be fun and it's right down the street:

Residents
Iceage
Thao
Black Lung

All a bit far away, but it's nice to actually look forward to live music again.

Cypress Hill and Atmosphere

Going for Cypress Hill?

Atmosphere is decent but ja I'm going with the intention of getting stupid high.

I'd like him way better if he would rap about anything other than smoothbrain positivity.

Dead Can Dance
Uniform
Low

have been added to the list. I just need some techno peeps to come to DC at least to get me set.

Very Hard to find local gigs here, but Cognac is not so far..will be going to a few of them soon....

Digable Planets :cool:

Wednesday % Secret Shame !1!1!!! XD :"3

He was better than I expected but also the corniest thing I've ever seen.

Cypress Hill was dank. They were all on point but there was some beat juggling **** that was blowing my mind, probably the highlight of the show. Smoked all my joints too fast though.

Incredible. Ish isn't even my favourite part of Digable but he's a force of nature on the stage. They had a live band that was funky as ****.

September 23 in an ancient Greek theatre
Tribute to classic rock (Scorpions, Queen, Metallica etc)
My favourite genre!!

update I bought tickets and then wasn't able to make it to Asheville :(

Probably a small venue bebop jazz on wednesday and thursday

And I'll try to find a Blues-oriented bar somewhere around here

Gonna see Little Simz in January.
Hyped af for this.
In case someone missed it, the new album is fire. And if the tiny desk concert is any indication this will be an amazing live experience.

Got my Big Ears ticket



Especially looking forward to John Zorn, Angel Bat Dawid, Sparks, Sons of Kemet (missed them last time and regretted it), Marc Ribot, Mdou Moctar, Andrew Cyrille, 75 Dollar Bill, Jaimie Branch Fly or Die, Kris Davis Diatom Ribbons, Gyan Riley, Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah, Ches Smith, and Craig Taiborn. Betting that Angel Bat Dawid will be the best show at the festival, she seems really intense live.

Mine will be Rammstein in Cardiff Wales next summer. Was postponed due to covid.

Also have Offspring in Cardiff later this year, then the Darkness in Bristol.

Are you going as Captain America if so maybe take your thingy with you...https://i.ibb.co/R08GmP0/32ead5d1660...561eabf7de.gif

Think I might need it Dianne, to fight off the crowds :laughing:

Missed OME but Armand Hammer really killed it after spending a couple songs getting the soundguy to turn them up. They did tracks from all over their discography, Barbarians being one of the standouts. They brought out a horn player and guitarist for some Small Bills tracks that got pretty ****in funky. As predicted they brought out Earl for Falling Out of the Sky before Earl and Alchemist took over to do Mtomb (one of my fave tracks from him, was kinda surprised) and some new material. The crowd got really excited for Earl and I was too but felt like they should've been that excited for woods. They also did a bunch of woods' solo material, mostly from Hiding Places. His performance of Houthi was really astounding.

I always viewed Elucid as the better emcee of the duo while woods was more humble in that lane with better poetry, but Elucid kind of disappointed me on that end. It was too close to the studio album in a way that was almost jukeboxy. Great performance still but I was expecting some god tier on that end. Was very impressed with woods' performance honestly, it was more like hearing an impassioned rant in a smoke sesh than someone doing a song and dance. He kept his mystique up, squatting whenever Elucid was rapping so that he looked like he was in the audience and telling the venue to turn down the stage lights. Was rad, hopefully I can catch them again.

Coldplay X BTS-My Universe

In 4 hours I’m going to see Mulatu Astatke

This is f*cking rad.

It was :beer::love:

Saw a full performance of Die Fledermaus while working as an usher yesterday. Thought it was annoyingly goofy and the performers were pretty mid. The pianist was rad though.

Whenever I see or hear a mention of Die Fledermaus.

Fellow postpunk obsessives/noise enjoyers, what acts would you go see out of this lineup? I want to see Caribou for sure

You don't like/know Machine Gun Kelly?

There’s three I’d really like to see on Saturday night: Khruangbin, 100 Gecs and the excellent Sampa the Great.

That's my impression too. People put them in their instagram stories all the time but there wasn't a single track that stayed with me or made me want to listen to it again.

Yeah, Khruangbin are about as bland as every other band out there that mixes '68-'75 era Thai funk,
Jamaican reggae, and Iranian pop with props to the funkiness of Stax and soulfulness of Philly Int'l.

One of the things I learned from a lifetime of record store working, managing and owning is that
it's easy to become one big record store pie where very few there want to cut the first slice.

As for seeing 100 Gecs live? Sure, why the hell not?

Probably has a lot to do with their hawt bass player. :pimp:

Looking forward to finally seeing Goose, and every other band in that line-up. Umphreys is always solid, Greensky so much yes, Disco Biscuits mmhmmm, Lettuce! **** yeah, and Sunsquabi? well slap me silly lets go!

You're a War on Drugs fan Plank?

War On Drugs is pretty good. Their last album was solid.

As for me, I have Roger Waters in a month, followed by Ghost in the fall. I'm going to try to see Coheed and Cambria. That will be a tough ticket to get.

Oh yeah. I forgot I am. lol It just keeps gettin better.

I liked A Deeper Understanding. Haven't heard the latest yet.

Coheed can be hit/miss for me but they're a very talented bunch. We used to play Welcome Home in a cover band I was in. That was fun to play.

I think Deeper Understanding is the band's best album to date.

I saw the band open for Jethro Tull once. My father was with me. He had never heard War on Drugs before. He told me that he ordered 3 albums the next day.

I just found out I'm going to Steely Dan/Snarky Puppy for Pop's Day. Sweet.

Too bad Corey Henry isn't in the band anymore, but I'm sure they'll still rock Lingus.
