What Concerts Are You Going To In The Next Few Months

Godd@m DS, if only I had your gigs budget and spare time. Recently had a baby daughter so both are a thing of the past for me.

But nope, didn't manage it myself and haven't seen any evidence that anyone else got one either.

I truly hope you experience differently, but even as an Alkaline Trio obsessive when I saw them a few years back at the academy it was by far the worst sound mixing I've ever heard. The only way I could tell what song they were playing was to look at Matt's fretting hand, god awful.

Haha I swear I don't have that much of a gig budget, I just buy shed loads of tickets and then live off beans on toast for 3 weeks afterwards.

Yeah I saw them at the academy a few years ago too as part of Sound City and the sound wasn't great. They're very inconsistent at that venue, sometimes it's very poor and other times it's pretty decent. Oh well, we shall see.

Just got invited to April Wine/Blue Öyster Cult.

**** yeah, I'm there.

I've got Swans, Emptiness, Engerling Ensemble and Antediluvian on my agenda so far. It should be pretty **** awesome.

I'm considering seeing a Robby Krieger/Blue Öyster Cult double bill this summer. Only problem is that Robby has recently had his son handling the lead vocals on tour and his son is quite underwhelming as a vocalist IMO. I'll probably wait until the last minute and see if I can find a ticket under face value from someone who's stuck with an extra.

Yeah, I'd definitely pass on that one. Who in their right mind would pay good money to have someone annoy them?

My situation is that my Ex's brother-in-law (we're still buds) called me up saying that someone dropped out of the group of 4 going to see April Wine/BÖC because they were just handed divorce papers, and are now deep in the nasty part of all of it. Hooray for ****ed up relationships!

If I can get a ticket under face value, I'll skip Robby (unless he has someone else on vocals by then) and enter the venue after his set. I saw him twice with Ray Manzarek when they had Dave Brock on vocals, and I've seen him with his jazz band, so I won't feel like I'm missing out if I skip his set this time.

Blue Öyster Cult still put on a good show, even though it's just Eric & Buck left from the original lineup. Blue Coupe are also a lot of fun (the Bouchard brothers with Dennis Dunaway from the original Alice Cooper lineup) if you like those old Cult & Cooper tunes.

I've been wanting to see Buck for a long time. It's the only reason I'm going. Maybe he'll pull some solo stuff out. Wishing.

My Morning Jacket or Belle & Sebastian, which would you choose and why go.

I'm supposed to see Mac Demarco tonight but also made dinner plans because I made a mistake and thought the show was Tuesday. I can probably make it there after dinner without rushing, but now I kind of don't feel like doing both.
